본 연구에서는 황토노각플러스 추출물의 생리활성 평가를 통해 화장품 원료로서의 가능성을 조사하였다. 황토노각 플러스 추출물에 대한 항산화 효과는 DPPH/ABTS 라디컬 소거능 활성 및 FRAP 분석, 세포 생존율은 MTT assay, 항염증 효과는 nitric oxide(NO) 생성억제 및 iNOS 단백질 발현 수준, 항균 효과는 총 3종 균주 Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis 및 Escherichia coli에 대한 한천 확산법을 측정하였다. 메탄올추출물(MN)과 열수추출물(WN)의 총폴리페놀 함량은 각각 2.92±0.01 mgGAE/g, 1.67±0.02 mgGAE/g로 나타났다. MN 추출물의 DPPH, ABTS 및 FRAP 값은 모든 농도에서 WN 추출물보다 높게 나타났다. RAW264.7 세포에 대한 두 추출물의 세포 독성은 관찰되지 않았다. 더욱이 1 mg/mL농도에서 MN과 WN 추출물의 NO 생성량은 11.69 μM과 20.4 μM로 측정되었으며, MN 추출물의 iNOS 단백질 발현 수준은 추출물 농도 의존적으로 억제되었다. 또한 MN 추출물은 S. epidermidis 균주에서만 항균효능을 보였다. 이러한 결과들로 황토노각플러스 추출물은 항산화, 항염, 항균효능을 지닌 천연물질 후보로써 가능성이 높다고 판단된다.

This study investigated the dyeing properties and bio-functions of cotton fabrics dyed with naturally fermented Ecklonia cava extract in order to compare it with a comparison of unfermented extract. Hot water-extracted Ecklonia cava was fermented naturally under the various conditions of a fermenting period (2-8 days) and amount of molasses (0.1-1.8% v/v); in addition, it was also tested for characterization by FT-IR, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and anti-microbial activity. For dyed cotton fabrics, color strength (K/S), physical color properties, dyeing fastness, sun protective property, and anti-microbial activity were evaluated considering dyeing conditions. As a result, the fermented dye under fermentation condition of 0.1% v/v with molasses during 4 days was revealed as having a similar chemical structure to the unfermented one and showed a total polyphenol content with 32.88mg/g and better antioxidant activity than the unfermented one. As for dyed fabrics, the color strength value by K/S was the highest under the condition of 0.1% v/v of molasses during 4 days among all fermenting conditions. The dyed fabrics had a reasonably good fastness (except for light). Anti-microbial activity against K. pneumoniae was better for the fermented extract-dyed fabric especially with lower dye concentrations.

Sea cucumbers are worm-like, leathery bodied, benthic, marine organisms with a branched gonad. There are over 900 species, and these organisms are capable of changing their mechanical state, regenerating their small appendages, and digestive tract. Additionally, sea cucumbers possess both commercial and therapeutical value. Furthermore, it is thought that the metabolites these organisms possess may give rise to their therapeutical value. The use of sea cucumbers in therapy can be traced back to the Ming dynasty, where they were eaten for their tonic properties against constipation, hypertension, and rheumatism. A plethora of studies have been conducted, whereby different metabolites were extracted from sea cucumbers and tested for different therapeutic properties. Herein, we review and discuss the anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-coagulant, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of the sea cucumber by assessing literature on PubMed and Google Scholar. Furthermore, the genome and epigenome of these remarkable species is discussed. With the immense data supporting the therapeutic properties of sea cucumbers, further studies are warranted, in order to develop novel and innovative therapeutic compounds for the benefit of human health from these fascinating marine organisms.

This study examined the quality characteristics and anti-oral microbial activity of bamboo leaf jelly prepared with different 5 levels (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%) of bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis) leaf extract. The sugar contents of bamboo leaf jelly were increased significantly by increasing the level of bamboo leaf extract. The luminance and Hunter's a values of the jelly samples increased with increasing bamboo leaf extract, but the 40% bamboo leaf jelly had the lowest Hunter's b values. The hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness increased significantly with increasing bamboo leaf extract. Among the mechanical properties, only the flavor of the jelly with 30 and 40% bamboo leaf extract were increased significantly. The extract of bamboo leaves had strong antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, S. sobriuns, P. gingivalis, and P. intermedia at a concentration of 40%. These results suggest that bamboo leaf extract can be useful in the production of high quality jelly.

소금농도를 9%에서 6%로 줄이고 항균물질로 알코올과 겨자, 키토산을 혼합첨가 하여 제조한 저식염 고추장의 숙성중의 효소활성도와 미생물상 및 이화학적 특성을 비교하였다. 숙성 중 수분활성도의 저하는 식염 9%인 대조구에서 심하였고, 숙성 중에 효모수는 증가하였으나 알코올-겨자 혼합 첨가로 효모수를 조절할 수 있었다. 고추장 숙성 중 ${\beta}-amylase$ 활성은 항균물질 첨가시 증가하였으나 ${\alpha}-amylase$와 protease 활성은 조금 감소하였다. 고추장은 숙성이 진행되면서 L차 a-, b-값이 증가하였으며 알코올 첨가 고추장이 $({\Delta}E)$값의 변화가 적었다. 적정산도는 항균물질의 첨가로 숙성 후기에 저하되었으며, 산화환원전위의 저하는 대조구에서 심하였다. 고추장 숙성 중 총당의 감소는 알코올-겨자 혼합 첨가구(EM)에서 적어 환원당량이 많았으며, 숙성 후기의 알코올의 생성은 알코올에 키토산을 혼합 첨가한 고추장(EC)에서 높았다. 고추장 숙성 중기까지 아미노태 질소는 증가하였고, 숙성중 암모니아태 질소의 생성은 알코올-겨자-키토산 혼합 첨가구(EMC)에서 적었다. 12주 숙성된 고추장을 관능 평가한 결과 색과 향기에서 알코올(E) 또는 알코올-겨자 혼합 첨가구(EM)가 좋아 저식염 고추장 제조시 알코올 또는 알코올-겨자를 혼합 첨가하는 것이 전체적인 기호도에서 양호하였다.

Research information related to application of enzyme as pretreatment and subsequent functional finishing on wool blended textiles for imparting multi-functional properties is still scanty. Yarn-blended wool/cotton fabric was pretreated with both a cellulase (Bactosol-CA) or a protease (Savinase-16.0LEx) in individual, subsequently finished with Synthappret-BAP and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin based combination to impart anti-shrink, anti-microbial, softening and anti-crease properties. The performance of the finished fabrics depended on type of finishing combinations applied rather than enzyme pretreatment. Savinase pretreatment followed by Synthappret+Ceraperm-MW combination finishing impart both anti-shrink property as well as softening, while Bactosol pretreatment followed by ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin and sanitize combination finishing impart antimicrobial activity as well as anti-shrink finish to the wool/cotton blend fabric.

The anti-phytoplasma activities of surfactin (derived from Iranian native Bacillus subtilis isolates) and tetracycline towards Candidatus "Phytoplasma aurantifolia", the agent of lime Witches' broom disease, were investigated. HPLC was used to quantify the surfactin production in four previously characterized native surfactin-producing strains, and the one producing the highest amount of surfactin (about 1,500 mg/l) was selected and cultivated following optimized production and extraction protocols. Different combinations of purified surfactin and commercial tetracycline were injected into artificially phytoplasmainfected Mexican lime seedlings using a syringe injection system. An absolute quantitative real-time PCR system was developed to monitor the phytoplasma population shifts in the lime phloem during 3 months following the injections. The results revealed that the injections of surfactin or tetracycline had a significant inhibitory effect on Candidatus "P. aurantifolia". However, the combined treatment with both surfactin and tetracycline (1:1) resulted in the highest inhibition due to a synergic effect, which suppressed the phytoplasma population from about $2{\times}10^5$ to less than 10 phytoplasma units/g plant tissue.

Objectives : Since cosmetics have been one of the help of life, unlike medicine, natural products have been used for cosmetics, generally giving the image of safety and relief compared to synthetic products. Among them, Houttuynia cordata has been known as a useful herbal medicine with antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. In this study, we were to use Houttuynia cordata extract on formulation of cosmetic emulsions. Methods : The effects of Houttuynia cordata extract on emulsion stability and viscoelastic properties of emulsion were measured using turbiscan and rheometer. And we assessed the anti-oxidative and antibiotic activities of Houttuynia cordata extract. Results : 1. The results of this investigation for emulsion stability showed that the stability emulsion containing Houttuynia cordata extract was decreased depending on concentration of Houttuynia cordata extract. 2. Super oxide dismutase activity was strongly dependents on concentration of Houttuynia cordata extract. 3. Houttuynia cordata extract showed good anti-microbial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusions : Houttuynia cordata extract can be effectively used in cosmetic emulsions when the relation between natural product extracts and formulation of cosmetics is elucidated.
