Abstract

It has been well known that grapefruit seed extract (GSE) have effects on the deodorization and a wide range disinfectant. But anybody do not research about the decomposition-inhibition effect of GSE. The present study was performed to investigate the decomposition-inhibition effect of GSE by measuring the microscope and electroscope observation with passage of time. A total of 30 healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighting from 230 gm to 250 gm were used as experimental animals. One group that do not treated by GSE named control group and the other group that treated by 55% GSE named Experimental group. Under ether anesthesia, right kidney was obtained. Put each sample in $37^{\circ}C$ and humidity $80{\pm}5%$ incubator, we obtained each sample after 0 day, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days and 5 days. 4 ${\mu}m$ of paraffin sections were obtained, stained H-E stain and observed by use of a microscope. Morphological change in tissue was similar to control 1 day group and experimental 3 days group. Therefore, decomposition-inhibition effect of GSE continued about 2 days and it protected necrosis. According to above results, the author suggest that 55% GSE is an effective decomposition inhibitor until 2 days on $37^{\circ}C$ and humidity $80{\pm}5%$ conditions.

광범위한 천연 소독제로서 사용되어온 자몽추출물의 조직에 대한 부패억제 효과를 확인하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 실험을 위해 8주령 SD계 흰쥐 콩팥(kidney)을 사용하였고, 자몽추출물을 처리하지 않은 대조군과, 55% 자몽추출물의 분말과 수용액을 처리한 실험군으로 구분하여 광학 및 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 광학현미경적 소견에서 대조군의 경우, 1일군부터 보우만주머니의 경계가 불분명해지기 시작하였고, 사구체 및 세뇨관의 형태로 부분적으로 괴사가 진행되었으며, 3일군에서 보우만주머니, 사구체 및 세뇨관의 형태가 대부분의 괴사나 유실되어 형태의 구분이 어려웠다. 그러나 실험군의 경우, 3일군부터 보우만주머니, 사구체 및 세뇨관 형태의 명확한 구별이 어려웠고, 부분적인 괴사가 관찰되었다. 한편, 전자현미경적 소견에서 대조군의 경우, 1일군은 바닥판의 일부가 붕괴되었으나 전체적인 형태는 유지되었고, 세포질 내 세포소기관의 붕괴로 전자밀도가 높은 응집된 형태로 관찰되었다. 2일군에서는 대부분이 붕괴되어 형체를 구별할 수 없었다. 그러나 실험군의 경우는 2일군에서 세포막의 부분적인 파괴가 확인되었고, 3일군에서 바닥판의 일부가 붕괴되기 시작하였고 세포소기관의 붕괴로 인한 응집 현상이 관찰되었다. 본 연구결과는 $37^{\circ}C$, 습도 $80{\pm}5%$에서 55% 자몽추출물은 부패와 변성을 억제하는 부패억제제로서 효과가 있고, 실험군의 3일군 조직의 형태가 대조군의 1일군 조직의 형태적 특성과 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 자몽추출물은 최소 2일 이상의 부패억제 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
