The purpose of this study was to identify the candidate genes involved in selenium content in brown rice. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) was important crop including diverse functional substance such as carbohydrate, protein, lysine and tocopherol, mineral. Especially, selenium as nutritionally important minerals, it was known to activate the immune system, antioxidant effect and inhibition of carcinogenesis. Also recommended daily requirements of the United States and the United Kingdom were 55 to 90 ug for selenium. Therefore, selenium content in brown rice of core-set were analyzed by using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) and GWAS (Genome Wide Association Study) was conducted to search for candidate genes in this study. The new natural variants identified through haplotyping analysis would be useful to develop new rice varieties with improved storage ability of the valuable mineral through the future molecular breeding.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Most Koreans consume nearly 70-80% of the total sodium through their dishes. The use of a salinometer to measure salinity is recommended to help individuals control their sodium intake. The purpose of this study was to compare sodium content through chemical analysis and salinity measurement in foods served by industry foodservice operations and homemade meals. MATERIALS/METHODS: Workplace and homemade meals consumed by employees in 15 cafeterias located in 8 districts in Daegu were collected and the sodium content was measured through chemical analysis and salinity measurements and then compared. The foods were categorized into 9 types of menus with 103 workplace meals and 337 homemade meals. RESULTS: Workplace meals did not differ significantly in terms of sodium content per 100 g of food but had higher sodium content via chemical analysis in roasted foods per portion. Homemade meals had higher broth salt content and higher salt content by chemical analysis per 100 g of roasted foods and hard-boiled foods. One-dish workplace meals had higher salinity (P < 0.05), while homemade broths and stews had higher sodium content (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). The sodium content per 100 g of foods was higher in one-dish workplace meals (P < 0.05) and in homemade broths and stews (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The use of a salinometer may be recommended to estimate the sodium content in foods and control one's sodium intake within the daily intake target as a way to promote cooking bland foods at home. However, estimated and actual measured values may differ.

This study was conducted to evaluate the chemical hazards of 74 kinds of commercial anchovy fish sauce in Korea by measuring their biogenic amine content. The biogenic amines detected in commercial anchovy fish sauce were tryptamine, putrescine, cadaverine, tyramine, spermidine, spermine, and histamine. Among them, histamine content was the highest with an average of 1,439.62±812.62 mg/kg. Excessive intake of histamine could result in chemical food poisoning characterized by high blood pressure, headache, and diarrhea. Accordingly, by simulating histamine exposure (repetition=10,000 times) based on the daily intake of 0.969 g of domestic anchovy fish sauce, we found that the estimated average histamine exposure was 24.49±55.48 ㎍/kg bw/day and that the margins of exposure (MOE) value were 139.18 at 1% and 66,141.07 at 95% of 10,000 simulations (9,500 times). As such, it was confirmed that 9,500 out of 10,000 simulations of MOE analysis significantly exceeded MOE 10. Therefore, the risk of exposure to histamine from ingestion of commercial anchovy fish sauce is approximately very low.

New gluten-free food product (tarhana) was produced using rice and com flours. Chemical and sensory properties of the tarhana samples were investigated and compared with those of traditional wheat tarhana. Generally, sensory analysis results indicated that utilization of com and rice flours in tarhana resulted in acceptable soup properties in terms of some of the sensory properties. The changes in electrophoretic properties of the proteins of the tarhana samples were also studied during the tarhana production. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) results showed that relative intensities of some of the protein bands in tarhana samples generally decreased during fermentation. The decrease was more obvious at the larger molecular weight region. Corn and rice tarhana seem to be promising food products for the celiac patients who have limited choice of cereal based foods.

본 연구에서는 곡물, 육류, 해산물, 채소류등에 대하여 식품공전에 등재되어 있는 켈달법(Kjeldahl method)과 AOAC에 등재되어 있는 듀마스법(Dumas method)을 이용하여 조단백질을 비교 분석하였다. 두 시험법에 대해 총 31종의 시료를 3회 반복 시험한 결과 대부분 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 곡물류의 경우 백미를 포함 총 9 종을 분석하였고, 켈달법과 듀마스법 결과간의 상관관계를 비교한 결과 correlation coefficient가 0.994, p-value는 0.956로 두 결과값간의 유의적 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 육류 9 종에 대해서는 correlation coefficient이 0.9725, p-value는 0.947, 해산물 5 종에 대해서는 correlation coefficient 값이 0.9879, p-value는 0.761, chemical시료 3종에 대해서는 correlation coefficient값이 0.9985, p-value는 0.997, 채소류 4 종에 대해서는 correlation coefficient값이 0.9873, p-value는 0.727로 시료간 약간의 차이는 있으나 켈달법과 듀마스법간에는 유의적 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 육류의 경우 시료의 균질성이 좋지 않아 소량을 칭취하여 분석해야 하는 듀마스법에서 재현성이 좋지 않았다. 다만 시료 중 질산염을 많이 함유하고 있는 채소류의 경우 켈달법을 이용하여 분석시 완전한 분해가 이루어지지 않아 듀마스의 결과보다는 낮은 함량값을 나타내었다. 또한 듀마스 법의 경우 약 0.1 g의 적은 시료를 사용하여 분석하기 때문에 분석시 시료의 균질성이 보장되어야 한다. 두 시험법 모두 순단백질을 직접 정량하는 것이 아닌 질소 분석을 바탕으로 단백질 함량을 구하는 것이기 때문에 정확성이 높다고 할 수 없지만, 샘플의 특성에 따라 적절한 분석방법을 선택하여 분석하는 것이 중요하다.

Benzoic acid is produced about 700 tons/year in Korea as of 1998 survey. Most is used as a stabilizer in the processes of synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. It is also used for ingradient of paint, disinfections, and antifungals. Due to the antioxidant activity of benzoic acid, the chemical is also used as food preservatives. Although the chemical is widely used in Korea, exposure levels in air, water, soil or sediment have not been monitored or estimated so that risk evaluation of benzoic acid was not possible. In this study, distribution of the chemical among environmental media was estimated using EQC model based on the chemical-physical properties. In Level I and II of which the chemical are hypothesized in equilibrium and no transfer through the media, more than 93％ of benzoic acid are estimated to be distributed in water. However, in Level III of which non-equilibrium and intermedia transfer could be occurred, the chemical is estimated to distributed to soil, 64％ and water,35% as of total amount.

Applicability of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was examined for quality control of red pepper powder in milling factories. Prediction of chemical composition was performed using modified partial least square (MPLS) techniques. Analysis of total 51 and 21 red pepper powder samples by conventional methods for calibration and validation, respectively, revealed standard error of prediction (SEP) and correlation coefficient ($R^2$) of moisture content, ASTA color value, capsaicinoid content, and total sugar content were 0.55 and 0.90, 8.58 and 0.96, 31.60 and 0.65, and 1.82 and 0.86, respectively; SEP and $R^2$ were low and high, respectively, except for capsaicinoid content. The results indicate, with slight improvement, on-line quality measurement of red pepper powder with NIRS could be applied in red pepper milling factories.
