A reduced salt, dry-type bulgogi bibimbap with AF-343 was prepared, and the acceptance, antioxidant antimicrobiological safety were investigated. The acceptance of the reduced salt and the AF-343 added sample, RW, showed the highest value of 5.37 among the samples, but it did not differ significantly from the other samples of the standard sample group. The acceptances of the appearance, aroma, texture, and overall acceptance were not significantly different in all samples (p>0.05). In the DPPH radical scavenging activity, the values of SW and RW with the AF-343 were 15.05 and 14.77, respectively, which were significantly higher than the 9.57 and 10.42 obtained for SWO and RWO without AF-343, respectively (p<0.05). Pathogenic microorganisms tests that were either negative or not detected in any of the samples representing hygiene safety were met in the dried bibimbap against Escherichia coli, pathogenic microorganisms, and general bacteriological tests. The aerobic plate counts were 30.0 CFU/g, indicating that the dry type salt-reduced bibimbap containing AF-343 was within the safety range that meets the safety standards of microorganisms in the food code for commercialization. Therefore, high-quality dry-type reduced salt bibimbap with AF-343 is helpful for antioxidant action and effective for skin moisturizing and can be produced without affecting the taste and palatability.

Vitamin C is known as an integral element for the formation and maintenance of intercellular supporting structures. Ascorbic acid has been used for the treatment of certain poisonings and hypovitaminosis(scurvy) but also known as a powerful reducing agent, and can kill a variety of bacteria and detoxify bacterial exotoxins including various clostridial exotoxins in vitro. For viruses, vitamin C inactivates herpes virus, vaccinia virus and influenza virus and has been used for the prevention and treatment of the common cold. Thus ascorbic acid plays an important role in antimicrobial action. Scurvy also promotes the development of tubercles in experimentally infected guinea pig and the tuberculosis patients require more vitamin C than normal persons. However there is no reports that ascorbic acid could inhibit the growh of M. tuberculosis. In this paper, antibacterial effects of ascorbic acid against M. tuberculosis were studied. The results are as follows: 1. The single use of the ascorbic acid exhibited antibacterial effect in vitro against $5{\times}10^3/ml$ of M. tuberculosis $H_{37}$ Rv at the concentration of ascorbic acid 0.625mg/ml over 3 hours exposure and 0.05mg/ml over 9 hours exposure. 2. In vivo mice administered with ascorbic acid 50mg/day for 5, 10 and 15 days respectively were protected from M. tuberculosis $2LD_{50}$, $3LD_{50}$, $4LD_{50}$ and $5LD_{50}$ given intravenously.

Papenfussiella kuromo (PK) is a marine plant and an abundant ecological resource for the future; it is found in almost 80% of the terrestrial biosphere. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of PK against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant pathogen. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of PK hexane fraction (PKH) against 7 strains of MRSA ranged from 1.0 to 2.0 mg/mL. In the checkerboard dilution method, a synergistic effect of the PKH and the antibiotics (oxacillin and norfloxacin) was seen. PKH markedly reduced the MIC of each of the 4 antibiotics against MRSA. The time-kill assay showed that the synergistic activity of PKH and an antibiotic reduced the bacterial counts below the lowest detectable limit after 24 h. These findings suggest that PKH has antibacterial activity, and may be important baseline data in future extensive studies of living marine resources as a source of compounds active against MRSA.

Diseases caused by plant pathogenic bacteria constitute an emerging threat to global food security. Xanthomonas is a large genus of Gram-negative bacteria that cause disease in several host plants leading to considerable losses in productivity and quality of harvests. Despite the ranges of controlling techniques available, the microbiological safety of economically important crops and crop plants including fruits and vegetables continues to be a major concern to the agriculture industry. On the other hand, many of the currently available antimicrobial agents for agriculture are highly toxic, non-biodegradable and cause extended environmental pollution. Besides, the use of antibiotics has provoked an increased resistance among the bacterial pathogens and their pathovars. Thus, novel efficient and safe remedies for controlling plant bacterial diseases are necessary. There has been an increasing interest worldwide on therapeutic values of natural products such as essential oils, hence the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the published data on the antibacterial efficacy of essential oils that could be considered suitable for application in agriculture as biocontrol measures against plant pathogenic bacteria of Xanthomonas species. The current knowledge on the use of essential oils to control Xanthomonas bacteria in vitro and in vivo models has been discussed. A brief description on the legal aspects on the use of essential oils against bacterial pathogens has also been presented. Through this review, a mode of antibacterial action of essential oils along with their chemical nature and the area for future research have been thoroughly discussed.

Alnus japonica Steud (A. japonica) have long been used in the traditional medicine for gastric disorder, hepatitis and fatty liver in Korea. Antiulcer effects of A. japonica hot water extract (AJ ext) were evaluated by in vitro antibacterial activity against H. pylori, by the inhibitory action against the in vitro gastric $H^+/K^+$-ATPase and using rat models of gastric mucosal damage and gastric ulcer induced by HCl-ethanol, indomethacin, and restraint and water-immersion stress. For the determination of antibacterial activity of AJ ext against H. pylori, the activity of urease which released from H. pylori was measured in culture. AJ ext showed weak antibacterial activity against H. pylori with the growth inhibitions of 37% and 61% by adding final concentrations of 500 and $1000{\mu}g/ml$ culture, respectively at 24 h. To observe the inhibitory activity of AJ ext against the $H^+/K^+$-ATPase in hog gastric membrane vesicle, $IC_{50}$ value of AJ ext was $806.3{\mu}g/ml$. Pretreatment of AJ ext (200, 500 mg/kg, p.o.) prevented in a dose-dependent manner the acute gastritis in HCl-ethanol model and the formation of gastric ulcer in indomethacin model and restraint and water-immersion stress model. These results suggest that the AJ ext can be used for prevention and treatment of gastric mucosal damage and ulcers induced by various stress.

본 연구에서는 천연물유래 구강건강 개선소재로써 노각나무의 이용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 노각나무 잎과 줄기를 에탄올에 추출한 다음 구강미생물에 대한 추출물의 항균활성을 조사하였다. 노각나무 잎과 줄기 추출물(1 mg/disc)은 구강미생물 중 P. gingivalis KCTC5352에 대해서만 항균활성을 나타내었으며 줄기보다는 잎 추출물의 항균활성이 우수하였다. 시판되고 있는 구강케어제품에 사용되고 있는 항균제와 노각나무 잎 추출물의 항균활성을 비교한 결과, P. gingivalis에 대한 노각나무 잎 추출물과 양성대조구로 사용한 triclosan의 항균활성은 유사하게 나타났으며. P. gingivalis에 대한 노각나무 잎 추출물의 MIC는 0.4 mg/ml이고 정균작용을 하였다. 노각나무 잎추출물이 0.2-2.0 mg/ml 농도로 처리된 배양액에서 P. gingivalis KCTC5352의 생물막 형성과 세균 생육은 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 농도의존적으로 억제되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 노각나무 잎 추출물(1 mg/ml) 처리가 P. gingivalis의 생물막 형성에 미치는 영향을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과에 의하면 추출물을 처리하지 않은 대조구는 추출물 처리구에 비해 P. gingivalis가 군집을 이루며 모여 있었고 세포 주변에서 생물막이 관찰되었지만 추출물을 처리한 처리구의 세포 주변에서는 생물막을 관찰할 수 없었다. qRT-PCR을 이용하여 생물막 형성 초기 과정에서 치면 부착에 필수적인 섬모(fimbriae)관련 mRNA 발현 양상을 0조사한 결과, 노각나무 잎 추출물이 0.2-2.0 mg/ml의 농도로 처리된 배양액에서 fimA와 mfa1 유전자 발현은 추출물의 농도가 높아질수록 농도의존적으로 억제되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 노각나무 잎 추출물은 치주질환 원인균인 P. gingivalis에 대한 항균 활성과 생물막 형성 억제능이 우수하기 때문에 천연물유래 구강건강 개선소재로써 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

국화 정유의 식중독균에 대한 항균력을 검증하기 위해 국화 정유와 그 주성분인 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 10종 균주에 대하여 agar-well diffusion 분석법으로 생육 여부를 분서하였다. 실험 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 양성균과 음성균 모두에 대해서 탁월한 항균 효과가 나타났다. Agar-well diffusion 분석법 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 음성균보다 Gram 양성균에 대해서 강력한 활성을 나타내었다. 국화 정유의 minimum inhibitory concentration은 모든 균주에 대하여 5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 균의 생장을 저해하는 효과가 나타났고, minimum bacteriocidal concentration은 S. choleraesuis와 L. monocytogenes에 대해서는 시험농도 내에서 사멸효과가 관찰되지 않았으나, 다른 균주에 대해서는 5~20 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 살균력이 나타났다. 또한 액체 배양중의 항균효과를 조사한 결과, 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 24시간 동안 꾸준히 항균력이 지속되었다. 따라서 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 조성분으로 함유한 국화 정유성분은 10종의 식중독균에 대한 항균활성이 입증되어, 천연 항균제재로서 식품보존료로의 이용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

Recently, as a natural substance has been emphasized interest in research to enhance the immune function. Green lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a popular vegetable used fresh and it contains various phytochemicals and antioxidant compounds, and has been reported to have various physiological activities such as antibacterial, antioxidant, antitumor and anti-mutagenic. However, only a few studies have investigated on the mechanism of action of immune-enhancing activity of lettuce. Therefore, in this study, the immunomodulatory activities and potential mechanism of action of Green lettuce extracts (GLE) were evaluated in the murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7. GLE significantly increased NO levels by RAW264.7 cells, as well as expressions of immunomodulators such as iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and MCP-1. Although GLE activated ERK1/2, p38, JNK and NF-κB, GLE-mediated expressions of immunomodulators was dependent on p38, JNK and NF-κB. In addition, TLR4 inhibition blocked GLE-mediated expressions of immunomodulators and activation of p38, JNK and NF-κB. Taken together, these results demonstrated that TLR4-MAPK/NF-κB signalling pathways participated in GLE-induced macrophage activation and GLE could be developed as a potential immunomodulating functional food.
