Pleurotus ostreatus was extracted with hexane, ethanol and water to test the antioxidative activity on soybean oil. The extraction yield was the highest in the water fraction. The total sugar was higher in ethanol and water fractions, While the total phenolic substances were relatively higher in the hexane fraction. The antioxidative effects of the extracts on the oxidation of soybean oil during storage at 60 and $100^{\circ}C$ were studies. The antioxidative effects of ethanol extracts of both fruit body and mycelia of pleurotus ostreatus were higher than those of water and hexane extracts. The antioxidative effects of Pleurotus ostreatus extracts (3,000ppm) were higher than the artificial antioxidant (200ppm), BHA and BHT, during storage at 60 and $100^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 에탄올의 급여수준과 금주 후 회복이 체내항산화비타민 상태에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 평균 체중이 200g인 Dprague-dawley 종 숫쥐 50마리를 사용하여 혈장 및 간조직의 비타민 A 및 E 의 함량을 비교.분석하였다. 실험식이라는 에탄올 액체식이형태로 만들어 공급하였으며, 이때 식이는 mL당 1 kacal의 열량을 공급할 수 있도록 조제하였다. 각 실험군의 식이구성은 에탄올을 첨가하는 대신 dextrin-maltose를 급여한 C군, 전체 칼로리의 10%를 에탄올로 첨가하는 LE 군 , 20%를 첨가하는 ME 군, 30%를 첨가하는 HE군 , 30%의 에탄올을 5주간 공급한 후 다시 2주간 정상식이를 급여한 회복군(HR)으로 설정하여 실험식이를 공급하였다. 혈자에서의 retinol 함량은 에탄올 급여수준에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 간조직 중의 retinol 함량은 20% 이상의 에탄올 군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었고, 30% 에탄올군인 HE 군에서는 현저하게 저하되었다. 30% 에탄올 급여후 2주간 정상식이를 회복시킨 군에서도 간조직의 retinol의 함량은 그대로 저하된 상태를 유지하였다. 간조직의 retinyl palmitate 함량은 에탄올 급여수준이 높을수록 감소되는 경향이었으며, 30% 에탄올군에서는 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었다. 회복군의 경우에도 이러한 저하현상은 더욱 심화되었다. 혈장의 $\alpha$-tocopherol 함량은 에탄올 급여량에 따라 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 간조직에서 10% 에탄올군에서도 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 에탄올 급여수준이 증가될수록 현저하게 저하되었다. 그러나 회복군에서는 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 함량이 10% 에탄올군의 수준까지 회복되었다. 이상의 결과에서와 같이 만성적인 에탄올의 섭취는 대체로 열량의 20% 이상을 에탄올로 급여하였을대 섭취수준이 증가함에 따라 흰쥐의 간조직에서 비타민 A와 $\alpha$-tocopherol으 lgkafid이 저하되었다. 이는 에탄올의 섭취를 중단하고 정상식이를 일정기간 급여하여도 특히 비타민 A 함량은 회복되지 않는 경향을 보여 만성적인 에탄올 섭취자들에게 비타민 A영양상태의 문제를 예방할 수 있는 방안이 강구되어야 함을 나타낸다.

The properties of various grains used for the solid-state cultivation of basidiomycetes were examined. The hydration time with cold water was 10 hours for malt soybean. The required hydration time for Job's tears, barley and wheat was 4, 6 and 12 hours, respectively, but the final moisture content ranged from 30 to 48 %, which was much less than the optimum moisture content for mycelial growth. For the mass cultivation of mycelia, the hydrated grains with cold water were placed in plastic bottles. The mycelial growth ra in e bottled grains was high in the early stage with inoculation of homogenized mycelium. The mycelium activity was maintained by adding sterilized water in the middle of the cultivation period. Jupjang underwent sensory evaluation to examine the possibility of utilizing basidiomycetes in functional foods. The grains fermented with Ganoderma lucidum was the best for Jupjang. The combination of malt soybean and Job's tears was the best for Jupjang. The acceptability of Jupjang was improved during the period of aging time.

Ergosterol is an indicator chemical of fungi and involves in fungal cell growth as a major component in fungal cell membranes. Thus, this chemical can be used to estimate live fungal biomass within various solid substrates. Ergosterol content in liquid culture of Lentinula edodes had a linear relationship (r=0.98) with the hyphal mass of the fungus. This chemical content differed depending on the fungal strains, age of culture and water content levels of sawdust substrate. Ergosterol content was 0.13% in the 10 weeks old liquid culture while it was 0.10% in 20 weeks old one. The chemical content in the sawdust cultures of the fungus varied 0.015% to 0.042% depending upon strains and water content levels within sawdust substrate. Ergosterol content in the culture of a L. edodes strain, Sanrim 4, was higher by $20{\mu}g$ to $140{\mu}g$/g dry substrate than those of strains, Mok-H and Sanrim 6. And the chemical contents in the sawdust cultures with 125% or 175% water, 297 to 425 ${\mu}g$/g dry substrate, were higher than those with 75% or 225% water, 148 to $286{\mu}g$/g dry substrate. We conclude that ergosterol analysis can estimate the fungal biomass within solid substrate such as logs and sawdust.

Fifteen free amino acids except tryptophan, proline and cystine were identified from Korean red ginseng and dried ginsengs from Korea, America and Canada using by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Arginine was 72.6% of total free amino acids in the red ginseng and 48.2 to 68.7% in the dried ginsengs. The content of each free amino acid was lower in the red ginseng than in Korean dried ginseng. Most free amino acids in Korean dried ginseng showed higher content than those in American and Canadian ones. Tryptophan, proline cystine, methionine and phenylalanine were not detected in the extracts of red ginseng and of Korean white ginseng. Arginine was highest in these extracts and all free amino acids were higher in the white ginseng extract.

To increase the utilization of citron, citron juice that is by-product of citron tea was spray dried and freeze dried. Cyclodextrin(CD) was used as wall material to stabilize during drying. The physiochemical properties of citron juice were as follows: water content of 82.3%, pH of 2.45, and there were little different in two kinds of drying or CD added in different ratio. Citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and lactic acid were detected in all of the samples. Spray and freeze-drying increased markedly yellowness compared to that of citron juice. Heat stability was reduced by both of two kinds of drying, and CD 15% was more decreased than CD 10%. Water uptake by freeze-drying was somewhat higher than that of spray-drying. When sensory properties of original citron juice was compared with those of spray and freeze dried, freeze drying with 10% of cyclodextrin was evaluated as superior to citron juice or other drying conditions.

This study investigated whether or not Citrus unshiu peel extract (CPE) affects fat accumulation in livers of rats fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet. Initially, male Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually in stainless steel, wire-bottomed cages with free access to a Lieber-Decarli control liquid diet. Rats were divided by body weight into three groups of eight each: one group of rats was fed the Lieber-Decarli control liquid diet devoid of ethanol (control), another was fed the Lieber-Decarli ethanol diet (ethanol), and third was fed the same ethanol diet except containing CPE. All three groups were fed their respective diets for 6 weeks. Serum and liver lipids were analyzed and liver histology performed. Body weight did not differ among the groups over the 6-wk duration. Histology images showed that CPE administration significantly improved fat accumulation in livers, which was induced by ethanol diet. Serum levels of transaminases and lipids also were reduced by CPE consumption. Taken together, the results indicate that CPE may protect ethanol-induced fatty liver by lowering fat accumulation in both the liver and blood. The protective effects of CPE appear to be due to its phenolic contents.

In this study, three simple methods were established to confirm the transgenic potato plants. The leaf disc was used in the first method. After leaf discs of transgenic and non-transgenic potato were transfered into the liquid MS medium with bialaphos 5mg/l, 25 days, the chlorosis occurred in the non-transgenic leaf discs while it could not find in the transgenic leaf discs, In the second method, shoot tips of potato were transferred into MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l bialaphos and 0.6% agar. After 7-10 days, a lot of roots developed from the transgenic shoot tip, but the non-transgenic shoot tip was dead. The third method was using chlorophyll contents. Leaf discs were transferred into the liquid MS medium with bialaphos 0.5 mg/l. After 15 days, the content of chlorophyll A in transgenic plant was at least 2.5 times higher than in non-transgenic plant. In addition, the PAT enzyme activity were detected in the transgenic potato, but not detected in normal potato.

Disinfection by-products(DBPs), such as volatile trihalomethanes and the nonvolatile organochlorine acids, created by chlorination have been extensively studied. However MX which contributes 20-50% of the mutagenic activity in drinking water began to people's attention since 1990. Its chemical name is 3-chloro-4-dichloromethyl-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone. According to WHO guidelines its concentration should be controlled, but its value has not been set up. Due to analytical difficulties in measuring this compound at such a low concentrations and lack of information on toxicity to human. Because concentration (ng/L) of MX in drinking water is low traditional testing methods are ineffective. Therefore this study compared LLE and SPE and have chosen SPE to improve preconcentration. MX has been identified in chlorinated drinking water samples in several countries but not in korea Therefore this study analyzed concentration of MX in different water sources and in spring water. This study examined the causes of changing MX content. Chlorine dosage, seasons, water temperature and distance from the source was all discoverd to be relavant. MX was analyzed in various treatment to find optimum disinfection methods. The outcome was that the concentration of MX was minimized when using biological activated carbon-O3 and granular activated carbon.

The changes of total carbohydrates and trehalose levels during differentiation of A. niger were studied. Aspergillus niger was cultivated in Czapeck-Dox medium by the method of surface culture and shake culture. Total carbohydrates and trehalose were fractionated and determined by the method of Trevelyan and Harrison (1956). Total carbohydrates and trehalose accumulated in A. niger during sporulation. The influences of nutritional starvation on the levels of cellular carbohydrates in A. niger, which was cultivated in each nitrogen, phosphate and glucose limited Czapeck-Dox medium, were studied. The levels of total carbohydrates and trehalose in A. niger cultivated in nitrogen limited medium increased much than those cultured in full medium. The total carborates and trehalose levels in A. niger cultivated in phosphate limited medium increased, but the increases were less than those cultured in nitrogen limitted medium. In glucose limited medium, any changes of total carbohydrates and trehalose levels were not found. It is considered that the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the changes of total carbohydrates and trehalose levels may be related with differentiation of Aspergillus niger.
