We investigated the effects on soil microbial diversity and the growth promotion of red pepper resulting from inoculation with a microbial agent composed of Bacillus subtilis AH18, B. licheniformis K11 and Pseudomonas fluorescens 2112 in a red pepper farming field. Photosynthetic bacteria, Trichoderma spp., Azotobacter spp., Actinomycetes, nitrate oxidizing bacteria, nitrite oxidizing bacteria, nitrogen fixing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, cellulase producing bacteria, and urease producing bacteria are all indicator microbes of healthy soil microbial diversity. The microbial diversity of the consortium microbial agent treated soil was seen to be 1.1 to 14 times greater than soils where other commercial agent treatments were used, the latter being the commercial agent AC-1, and chemical fertilizer. The yield of red pepper in the field with the treated consortium microbial agent was increased by more than 15% when compared to the other treatments. Overall, the microbial diversity of the red pepper farming field soil was improved by the consortium microbial agent, and the promotion of growth and subsequent yield of red pepper was higher than soils where the other treatments were utilized.

In this study, fibrinolytic activities of fermented yellow agabean (FYA) and black agabean (FBA), and the antioxidation efficiencies of 70% ethanol extract of fermented yellow agabean (FYAE) and black agabean (FBAE) were investigated by selecting Bacillus sp. sm26 strain. Fibrinolytic activities of FYA and FBA were $6.38{\pm}0.5$ and $6.83{\pm}0.5\;U/ml$, which were 1.3 and 1.4 times higher than that of FSB, respectively. With regard to total phenolic contents, FYAE and FBAE were $3.40{\pm}0.44\;mg/g$ and $2.45{\pm}0.20\;mg/g$ respectively, suggesting that their contents were about twice as high as that of fermented soybean extract (FSBE) used as a control. In comparison with FSBE, total protein and sugar contents of FYAE were $0.56{\pm}0.11$ and $2.41{\pm}0.48\;mg/g$, respectively, and those of FBAE were $0.39{\pm}0.12$ and $2.72{\pm}0.63\;mg/g$, respectively. This result suggests that FYAE was 4.7 and 1.7 times higher than FSBE, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of FBAE was 79% at 1 mg/ml, which was highest among the fermented bean extracts, and was twice as high as FSBE in regards to activity. In addition, FBAE exhibited the highest reducing power at 1 mg/ml, which was higher than FSBE by two-fold. With regard to lipid peroxidation, FBAE and FYAE were 93% and 80% at 1 mg/ml, which were 3 and 2.5 times higher than FSBE, respectively. Of note, the hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities of FBAE and FYAE were 82% and 54% at 1 mg/ml, offering activity that was 4 and 2.5 times higher than FSBE, respectively. Based on these results, the fibrinolytic activity and antioxidation efficiency of the fermented agabeans were significantly higher than other soybeans. Therefore, these studies may suggest that the functional agabeans can be a potential candidate for a natural functional food.

국민생활 수준의 향상과 더불어 배의 생산은 꾸준한 증가추세를 보이고 있고 2010년까지 계속 증가될 전망이다. 한편 재배기술에 의한 미숙, 태풍에 의한 낙과, 수확 후 저장중 손상으로 약 15%의 배가 유실된다. 이러한 상품성이 낮은 배의 효율적인 활용 방안을 모색하기 위한 일환으로 배를 기능성식품 소재로 이용하고자 배의 페놀성물질 추출효율을 알아보기 위하여 추출용매와 농도에 따른 추출율을 비교하였다. 신고배 과피를 신선시료, 열풍건조시료와 동결건조시료 3가지 상태로 하여 methanol, ethanol, acetone과 물 추출물을 Folin-Denis법으로 총페놀성물질의 함량을 측정하여 비교하였다. 시료의 상태에 따라 추출효율에 약간의 차이를 볼 수 있었는데 신선시료에서 모든 농도범위에서 아세톤의 추출효율이 가장 높았고 메탄올, 에탄올과 아세톤 3용매에서 모두 60∼80% 농도범위에서 높은 추출효율을 보였다. 그리하여 3가지 용매에서의 최적추출농도를 알아보고자 60∼80% 범위내에서 5%농도 간격으로 페놀성물질을 추출하여 그 함량을 측정하였다. 결과 메탄올에서는 70%와 75%에서, 에탄올에서는 70%에서, 아세톤에서는 65％, 70%, 75%에서 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 따라서 신선시료에서 메탄올, 에탄올과 아세톤으로 페놀성물질 추출 시 약 70% 농도로 추출하는 것이 가장 효율적이라고 판단된다. 또한 물 추출은 가장 낮은 효율을 보였다. 열풍건조시료에 대한 각용매의 농도별 추출효율은 아세톤의 농도가 높을수록 추출효율이 떨어졌고 특히 무수 아세톤에서는 그 효율이 물 추출효율보다 더 낮게 나타났다. 20∼80% 범위에서 아세톤의 추출효율이 가장 높았고 다음은 에탄올, 메탄을 순이었다. 아세톤은 40∼60% 범위에서, 에탄올은 60∼80% 범위에서, 메탄올은 60∼99% 범위에서 높은 추출효율을 보여 각각 이 농도범위에서 다시 총함량을 측정하였다. 결과 각농도에 따른 추출함량에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 동결건조시료에서 아세톤에 의한 추출효율은 열풍건조시료에서와 비슷한 결과를 보였고 또한 20∼80% 농도범위에서 메탄올의 추출효율이 가장 낮았고 다음은 에탄올, 아세톤의 순으로 높았다. 물 추출효율은 20% 메탄을 추출효율과 비슷한 수준이었다. 메탄올에서는 60∼80%, 에탄올과 아세톤에서는 40∼60% 범위에서 높은 추출효율을 보였다. 마찬가지로 이 농도범위에서 최적의 추출농도를 확인하고자 각 용매와 농도별로 페놀성물질을 추출하여 그 함량을 측정한 결과 메탄올에서는 5% 농도차이가 그 추출효율에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올에서는 40%에서 가장 높은 함량이 측정되었고 아세톤에서는 50%에서 측정되었다. 따라서 시료의 상태와 상관없이 배 과피의 페놀성물질 추출용매로는 40∼70%의 함수 아세톤이 적합한 것으로 사료된다.

Green tea was extracted with different solvents such as hot water, varying concentrations of ethanol and carbon dioxide fluid. The carbon dioxide fluid extraction of green tea was a very effective extraction method in terms of antioxidant yield and stability. At pressure of 125kgf, antioxidant extract of green tea produced a yield 1.87 and 2.8 times higher than hot water and $95\%$ ethanol extract, respectively. Antioxidant extract of carbon dioxide fluid was also very stable during 7-day storage at 35?.

Recombinant Arabidopsis non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) was purified from yeast. In order to determine the effect of nsLTPs for an production of anthocyanin in perilla leaves, ‘Manchudlggae’ cultivar was grown at pots that had been applied with different concentration of nsLTPs. The anthocyanin content in AtnsLTP treated leaves increased above two-fold higher than that in control. Also chlorophyll content was increased 16%. It was presumed that AtnsLTPs could be applied to increase high quality of perilla leaves.

This research investigates the deployment of waterproofing technologies in construction, with a specific focus on augmenting worker safety, work environment, and solve the difficulty of securing skilled workers. Implementing liquid waterproofing cement equipment resulted in a remarkable increase in adhesion performance by around 20%, coupled with a twofold acceleration in operational speed. The application of primer spraying apparatus led to a two-fold improvement in both penetration and adhesion performance, concurrently boosting the work speed by approximately the same factor. With urethane spraying equipment, the workload could be reduced to a third for the same layer thickness, adhesion performance enhanced by approximately 1.4 times, and workability improved by about 1.4 to 1.5 times. These findings suggest that such technological interventions can potentially enhance work efficiency, improve the quality of output, and mitigate safety accidents that are commonplace in manual operations. Furthermore, these advancements present promising solutions to the ongoing challenges of sourcing highly-competent workers in the industry.

The changes in phenolic compounds and pectin content were investigated during the growth of 3 cultivars (Hosui, Niitaka and Chuwhangbae) of Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolria) fruits. The amounts of total phenolic compounds in peel, flesh and core was 20.61-22.98mg/g, 0.87-1.23mg/g and 6.39-37.96mg/g during early growth, respectively, and decreased with pear growth. Arbutin, chlorogenic acid and epicatechin were detected in each part of all three cultivars during early growth; of these, arbutin content was the highest. Caffeic acid, catechin and 4-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid were detected in the peel and core during the ripening process. The total pectin content in the flesh of Hosui, Niitaka, and Chuwhangbae cultivars decreased from 5.93mg/g, 5.99mg/g and 5.40mg/g to 1.07mg/g, 1.60mg/g and 1.63mg/g, respectively. Of the soluble pectins, the hydrochloric acid-soluble pectin content was the highest, 3.21-3.45mg/g, and decreased during growth.

In the present study, we compared the functional analysis of pear extracts cultured in conventional and environment-friendly conditions in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. ATP synthesis significantly increased by the treatment with environment friendly cultured pear powder but not by conventional group. In addition, cell proliferation using $[^3H]$-thymidine incorporation was also stimulated by environment-friendly cultured pear extract compared to conventional group. Moreover, the expressions of CDK-2 and CDK-4 were increased but p21WAF1/Cip1 and p27 Kip1 decreased by environment-friendly cultured pear extract but not by conventional group. In conclusion, environment-friendly cultured pear powder has stimulatory effect on cell proliferation compared to conventional group in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
