An experimental approach was applied to test the effects of stranded oils and dispersant cleanup on marine gastropods, Nodilittorina exigua, littorina brevicula and Purpura clavigera. They were exposed to Labuan crude, Dubai crude and Bunker C fuel oil. Direct oil contact caused death of gastropods within 96 hours. N. exigua and L. brevicula were more sensitive than P. clavigera at the exposure of Bunker C fuel oil. Toxic effects of Bunker C oil was slower than crude oils. direct contact to concentrated dispersant killed gastropods, while clean-up with diluted dispersant still gave severe damage. P. clavigera could escape from dispersed crude oil below 250 ppm. Oiling and dispersant clean-up may have severe effects on marine gastropods by rendering them washed out to sea.

Zinc is an essential trace element participating in many physiological functions and notably an important function for sperm physiology. Zinc-enriched yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isolated from tropical fruit rambutan. This strain contained 306 ppm zinc concentration and other components contained by K 28,640 ppm, Mg 2,342 ppm, Na 1,048 ppm, Ca 366 ppm, Fe 236 ppm and Mn 4 ppm. The serum concentration of testosterone was decreased in ethanol treatment rats. As compared with ethanol treated control rats, the zinc-enriched yeast strain supplementation showed significantly increased the testosterone concentration in serum. In addition, zinc concentration in serum was decreased in alcohol treatment, but this reduction was significantly increased by zinc-enriched yeast strain supplementation in ethanol feeding rats. These results indicate that zinc-enriched yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain could play an important role in the sperm physiology by the marked elevation of serum testosterone concentration.

This study was conducted to verify the physiological activity of heat-killed Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 probiotics in fermented milk. The anti-inflammatory effects of fermented milk supplemented with different concentrations (0, 100, and 500 ㎍/mL) of E. faecalis EF-2001 were determined using MTT assay and nitric oxide inhibition assay. The MTT assay was performed using RAW 264.7 cells. Results revealed that the rates of cytotoxicity and cell survival decreased significantly with increase in the concentration of heat-killed probiotics (p<0.05). Moreover, fermented milk supplemented with 100 ㎍/mL EF-2001 (EFM1) and the fermented milk supplemented with 500 ㎍/mL EF-2001 (EFM2) exhibited higher nitric oxide inhibition than normal fermented milk (NFM). Additionally, EFM2 significantly reduced the ratio of prostaglandin E₂ compared to NFM (p<0.05). In conclusion, the treatment sample showed higher anti-inflammatory activity than NFM. The findings of this study could be used as a basic guideline for manufacturing of NFM supplemented with heat-killed probiotics.

Effect of bean water concentration and incubation time of Yukwa paste as well as packaging method on the quality of Yukwa was investigated. Quality loss in Yukwa during storage was dependent on the packaging method such as bamboo packaging at $30^{\circ}C$, nitrogen packaging at $30^{\circ}C$ and LDPE packaging at $-18^{\circ}C$. Peroxide value increased with bean water concentration, but showed no significant difference by incubation time. The hardness of Yukwa decreased with the increase of bean water concentration, incubation time, and storage time but showed no significant difference by packaging method. Sensory evaluation after storage for 3 months showed that Yukwa color was significantly influenced by packaging method and bean water concentration. The volume was also significantly influenced by bean water concentration and incubation time. Off-flavor showed significant difference by storage method. Tenderness, taste and overall desirability showed significant difference by bean water concentration. Crispness showed significant difference by storage method and bean water concentration.

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of somatic embryos (SEs) induction with different kinds and concentrations of osmoticum, with gelrite and SEs germination with different abscisic acid (ABA) and embryogenic tissue lines (ETLs) in Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora). In comparison of somatic embryos induction with different kinds and concentrations of osmoticum, the highest record (45/90 mg FW) was obtained from the treatment of 0.1 M maltose+3.75% PEG 4000. In addition, the higher one was also recorded from 0.2 M maltose (41 SEs), it turned out this treatment was also effective in induction of SEs with previous one. In effects of various gelrite concentrations for SEs production, no SEs were occurred in the treatment of 0.4 or 0.6% gelrite, however, the highest no. of SEs shown in 1.0% gellrite (41 SEs), and some comparable results were also marked with 0.8 (37.3 SEs) or 1.2% (39.7 SEs) gelrite. Therefore, SEs can be produced from above 0.8% concentration of gelrite. Finally, in comparison of SEs germination with different concentrations of ABA, ETLs, and AC, the best germination rates (45%) were obtained from the SEs derived from both concentrations of 150 and $200{\mu}M$ ABA in 06-6 ETL and when cultured on germination supplemented with 0.2% AC. When SEs were cultured on germination medium without AC, best germination rate (28.9%) came from the SEs which cultured on $250{\mu}M$ ABA in 06-6 ETL.

The antioxidative effects of fermented milk, mushroom extract and fermented milk containing its extract (Lentinus edodes, Ganoderna lucidum, and Pleurotus ostreatus) on the lipid peroxidation in the tissues of female Sprague-Dawley rats and on the DPPH ($\alpha,\alpha$' -diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl) radical donating ability were studied. The total concentrations of polyphenolic compound in Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus were 0.34, 0.20 and 0.34%, respectively. The DPPH donating abilities of mushroom extract, fermented milk, fermented milk containing its extract and BHT (butylated hydorxytoluene) as standard were 33.9, 34.9, 51.9 and 95.6%, respectively. Experimental diet groups were divided into five groups: the normal diet (ND), the cholesterol diet (CD), and cholesterol + fermented milk diet (CDFM), cholesterol + mushroom extract diet (CDME) and cholesterol + fermented milk containing mushroom extract diet (CDFMME). The concentrations of lipid peroxide in liver and its microsome were significantly lower in both CDFM and CDFMME groups than in the other groups. The kidney concentration of lipid peroxide was significantly higher in the CD group than in the ND group, but this rise were significantly decreased in the CDFM and CDFMME groups. Meanwhile, the concentrations of heart and spleen and their fractions were not significantly different among dietary groups. This study was suggested that the fermented milk diet containing mushroom extract effectively reduced the lipid peroxidation in liver and kidney of cholesterol-fed female rats.

To evaluate the possibility as a natural preservative of Cornus officinalis seed extracts, we investigated the anti-microbial activity and preservation effect of cosmetics. Cornus officinalis seed extracted with 1,3-Butylene Glycol(1,3-BG) and Ethanol(EtOH). As a result, Cornus officinalis seed extracts showed anti-microbial activity at Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes and Cornus officinalis seed 1,3-BG extracts(COS-A) showed $26.7{\pm}4.0mm$ clear zone at the $1000.0{\mu}l/ml$. Minimum inhibitory concentration of S. epidermidis was observed at Cornus officinalis seed EtOH extracts(COS-B) $25.0{\mu}l/ml$. The result of challenge test for preservation effect on cosmetics, S. aureus and S. epidermidis was 100% eliminated from emulsion containing COS-A and COS-B after 7 days. These results suggest that Cornus officinalis seed extracts may have possibility as the natural preservative instead of synthetic perservative on cosmetics.

황칠나무(Dendropanax morbifera Lev.)는 두릅나무과(Araliaceae)에 속하며 학명에서 뜻하는 바와 같이 목본 (Dendro), 전능약(Panax)이라는 의미가 있고 나무인삼이라 불리기도 하며 줄기에 상처를 내면 노란액이 나온다고 해서 황칠나무(D. morbifera)라는 이름이 붙여졌다. 두릅나무과는 우리나라에서 최고의 약재들로 손꼽히는 인삼(Panax ginseng), 가시오갈피(Eleutherococcus senticosus) 등의 약용식물을 포함하고 있어서 황칠나무는 황칠수지액 이외에 약용식물로서의 무한한 개발 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 실험은 황칠나무의 기내 부정근 유도 및 증식조건의 확립을 목적으로 수행되었다. 우선 황칠나무의 기내 발아체로부터 부위(잎, 줄기, 뿌리)를 달리하여 부정근을 유도한 결과, 잎은 줄기나 뿌리보다 양호한 부정근의 유도를 보였다. 또한 유도된 부정근을 이용하여 옥신의 종류에 따른 부정근 유도율을 조사한 결과 IBA와 NAA는 IAA와 2.4-D보다 높은 유도율을 보였다. IBA의 농도에 따른 유도율과 증식효율은 IBA가 1.0 mg/L 첨가되었을 때 가장 높은 유도 및 증식효율을 보였다. 최적의 액체배지조건을 확인하고자 sucrose의 농도와 염농도를 달리하여 실험한 결과 1/2MS 배지는 MS 배지보다 10%정도 높은 증식율을 보였다. 액체배양 된 황칠나무의 부정근을 각각 1/2MS 배지에 30 g/L sucrose, 3.0 mg/L IBA가 첨가된 5 L volume 생물반응기에 4주 간 배양한 대조구와 2주 후 IBA의 농도를 1.0으로 낮추어 배양한 실험구에서 2주후 IBA의 농도를 낮추어 배양한 실험구에서 대조구보다 약 2배 높은 부정근의 증식량을 보였다. 결국, 황칠나무의 종자발아체를 이용하여 부정근의 유도 및 증식조건에 필요한 기내배양조건을 확립하였고, 플라스크와 생물반응기 배양을 통해 효율적인 실험실 내 증식조건을 확립하였다. 본 실험결과는 향후 황칠나무 천연추출물을 활용한 향장품/식,의약품 소재의 대량확보 차원에서 중요한 가치를 내포하고 있다고 조심스럽게 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of dental erosion according to the type of lactic acid bacteria fermented oil and to identify a method for preventing dental erosion. For the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, liquid fermented milk, condense-stirred type fermented milk, and condense-drink type fermented milk were used, and bovine tooth specimens used in the experiment were used. As a method to prevent dental erosion, the method of adding calcium to the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, the method of applying high and low concentrations of fluoride to the teeth before exposure to the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, and the method of applying these two methods together were measured to measure the preventive effect of dental erosion. As a result of immersing the specimen in the experimental beverage, the surface hardness of liquid fermented milk decreased the most. When comparing the difference in surface hardness before and after prophylaxis care, the Ca 2% group and the NaF 0.05%+Ca 0.5% group showed no significant difference from the negative control group, confirming that it is an effective method for preventing dental erosion. However, considering the change in taste and the stability of ingredients, a method of adding calcium at a low concentration rather than adding a high concentration of calcium is proposed. Therefore, it is recommended to use low-concentration calcium and low-concentration fluoride together to recognize the possibility of dental erosion when ingesting lactic acid bacteria and to prevent dental erosion caused by it.
