목적：인진 약침액이 SK-N-MC 신경아세포주에서 에탄올에 의해 유발된 아폽토시스에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 방법 : SK-N-MC cell line에서의 아폽토시스 변화를 관찰하기 위해서 MTT assay, DAPI staining 및 flow cytometric analysis 방법을 이용하였다. 결과： MTT assay를 이용하여 분석한 결과 농도에 따른 세포 독성의 효과가 에탄올 투여로부터 관찰되었다. 또한 인진 약침액으로 전처치하고 에탄올을 처치하였을 때 세포 독성이 크게 감소되었다. DAPI staining에서 인진 약침액 투여군은 에탄올 투여군에 비해서 fragmentation이 억제되었다. Flow cytometry를 통하여 인진 약침액 투여군은 에탄올 투여군에 비하여 세포주기 중 sub $G_1$ 분획의 증가가 억제되었다. 결론 : SK-N-MC 신경아세포주에서 에탄올에 의해서 유발된 아폽토시스는 전형적인 세포사별 형태를 나타내었다. 또한 인진 약침액은 에탄올에 의해서 유발된 아폽토시스에서 세포보호 효과가 있음이 확인되었다.

It was investigated that the influent sugar concentration and the dilution rate have an influence on the ethanol fermentation characteristics at steady state in a chemostat culture of K. fragilis using Jerusalem Artichoke juice as substrate. And also the optimum condition of high ethanol productivity and low residual sugar output in the ethanol production by K. fragilis, was clarified to be given at a dilution rate of 0.22/hr and at an influent sugar concentration of 85g/l.

To increase the production of ethanol by using sugar from lignocellulosic biomass, pentose and hexose have to be fermented simultaneously by yeast. The effects of mixed sugar and nitrogen on ethanol production by immobilized Pichia stipitis KCCM 12009 were investigated. When optimal mixed sugar and nitrogen concentration were 5% (Glucose/Xylose = 3:1) and 1%, respectively, ethanol concentration produced by immobilized P. stipitis was 19-20 g/L. In repeated fed-batch by immobilized P. stipitis, all glucose was consumed very quickly at 1-3% mixed sugar concentration. But, xylose consumption was decreased as the mixed sugar concentration increased. Also, ethanol (5.6 g/L) was stably produced and ethanol production rate was 0.13 g/$L{\cdot}h$ in immobilized cell reactor (ICR) with 1% mixed sugar (Glucose/Xylose = 3:1) as feeding media.

The fermentation characteristics of ethanol production by the use of immobilized Zymomonas mobilis KCTC 1534 cells were investigated in terms of formation factors such as substrate and product concentration. In batch fermentation, the maximum values of specific ethanol productivity, specific substrate uptake rate, ethanol yield, and glucose conversion rate were $29.14g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$, $60.24g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$, 0.48g/g, and 98.4%, respectively, with 17% glucose medium, and its ethanol productivity was $2.91g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ in the case of 25 hour fermentation time. Repeated batch fermentation was possible for 30 days with 2.24-$2.94g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ ethanol productivity. In semicontinuous fermentation, the maximum ethanol productivity was shown to be $15.7g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ at $0.36h^{-1}$ effective dilution rate with 17% glucose concentration. In this case, ethanol yield coefficient and glucose conversion rate were 0.39 g/g, 64.7%, respectively.

This study was performed to investigate the ameliorating effect of a mixture of extracts from Houttuynia cordata Thunb, Nelumbo nucifera G. (leaf), and Camellia sinensis (seed) (MIX) on acute ethanol-induced hangover in Sprague-Dawley rats. Plasma ethanol and acetaldehyde levels in MIX-treated rats significantly decreased at 3 h and 5 h after acute ethanol administration (25%, 3 g/kg body weight/d) as compared to ethanol-treated rats. Hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities were significantly higher in MIX-treated rats than in ethanol-treated rats. MIX exhibited high ADH and ALDH activities on direct assays using S9 rat liver fraction for ethanol metabolic enzymes clearance action. These results suggest that MIX could alleviate ethanol-induced hangover symptoms by elevating activities related to hepatic ethanol-metabolizing enzymes against ethanol induced metabolites, and MIX should be further developed to be a new anti-hangover material.

This study was carried out to optimize the conditions for the extraction of antioxidative materials from licorice root, Glycyrrhiz glabra. Chipped licorice roots were extracted with several solvents and their antioxidative activities were tested to determine the optimal extraction solvent. Among the solvents tested, 95% ethanol gave the highest free radical scavenging activity, and was therefore chosen as the optimal extracting solvent. The optimum extraction temperature and time were $20^{\circ}C$ and 12 hr, respectively. Next, the free radical scavenging activity of the ethanol extract was compared with that of other known antioxidants such as ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). Ethanol extract of licorice root had greater antioxidative activity than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and a similar level to that of the two synthetic antioxidants (BHA and BHT). Moreover, the antioxidative activity of the ethanol extract was inhibited neither by heat treatment at $180^{\circ}C$ for 30 min nor by treatment at extreme pH. These findings suggest that ethanol extract of G. glabra may be useful as a natural antioxidant.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethanol on the prolongation of the shelf-life of kimchi paste. Kimchi paste was prepared by adding 0.5~3.0% ethanol, and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 35 days. The retardation of kimchi paste fermentation was evaluated by measuring chemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics. Titratable acidity and pH showed a slight difference, depending on the ethanol concentration. The titratable acidity showed the low content in kimchi paste with 3.0% ethanol during fermentation, whereas the pH showed a reverse tendency, indicating that fermentation was inhibited under a high ethanol concentration. The changes in the sugar-reduced contents were similar to that of the pH. The growth of microorganisms such as total aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds in kimchi paste during fermentation were inhibited by ethanol, and the addition of 3.0% ethanol was most effective to inhibit the microbial growth. The number of coliform bacteria was decreased during fermentation of kimchi paste and not detected in any sample at 35 days, except for kimchi paste with 3.0% ethanol. In sensory evaluation, the addition of 0.5~1.5% ethanol in kimchi paste was showed no significant difference on sensory properties compared to the kimchi paste without ethanol (p<0.05). As a result, it is considered that the addition of 1.5% ethanol is the most appropriate to maintain the quality of kimchi paste, without the changing the flavor.

The effects of ethanol on the specific rates of growth and ethanol production were found to be threshold and linear inhibition. The degree of inhibition was more apparent on the specific growth rate while ethanol production was continued even the growth was ceased. The nature of uncoupling between the growth (anabolism) and ethanol production (catabolism) was clearly observed under high concentration of ethanol. The uncoupling indicated that ethanol concentration plays a great role in maintenance energy coefficient.

매생이의 에탄올 추출물의 기능적 특성과 추출액의 플라보노이드와 페놀함량과의 상관성을 검토하고, 아질산염 분해능과 효소의 영향 등을 측정하였다. 매생이 에탄올 추출액의 클로로필 함량은 물추출보다 에탄올 추출의 경우가 높았으나, 플라보노이드 함량은 물추출액에서 약간 높게 나타났다. 추출액의 TPC함량은 TFC함량이 높을수록 높게 나타났으나 직접 비례하지는 않았다. 그리고 매생이에 함유된 아질산염 함량 측정결과와 아질산염 분해능 결파 비교로부터 에탄올 추출의 경우에는 아질산염 분해능이 시료자체의 아질산염 함량과 직접적인 영향이 없는 것으로 보였으며, 매생이 에탄올 추출액이 나타내는 아질산염 분해작용은 낮은 pH에서 높게 나타났으나, 매생이 자체에 존재하는 효소의 관여는 극히 미약하였다.

본 논문에서는 다공질 실리콘에 대한 에탄올과 메탄을 가스 감지 특성을 측정하고 전기 전도도의 변화를 고찰하였다. 우선 HF와 에탄올의 혼합 용액내에서 n-type의 웨이퍼에 일정 전압을 인가하여 다공질 실리콘을 형성한다. 다공질 실리콘은 수직한 방향으로 $55{\sim}60{\mu}m$ 두께로 균일하게 형성되었다. 다공질 실리콘을 이용하여 소자를 제작하고 에탄올과 메탄올 가스를 주입하여 전류-전압 특성을 측정하였다. 기존의 다공질 실리콘 에탄올 센서와는 달리 turn-on 시 센서에 흐르는 전류가 빠른 시간내에 일정한 값으로 도달하였고 turn-off시에도 같은 결과를 보였다. 다공질 실리콘 표면에 흡착된 에탄올과 메탄올 가스는 전류의 흐름을 방해하는 surface charge를 스크린하여 전기 전도도를 증가시킨다. 또한 흡착된 가스가 dangling bonds를 passivation하여 전류를 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다.
