현재 우리들 사회의 환경과 생활이 윤택해 짐에 따라 문화생활을 영위하게 되고, 건강에 대한 의식이 커져가고 있다. 이에 건강을 유지하고 증진시킬 수 있는 환경 친화적인 제품에 대한 관심 또한 높아지고 있다. 특히 기존의 합성염료보다 천연염료로 염색한 제품은 고부가가치를 창출하며 환경친화적이고 인체친화적이다. 이를 바탕으로 Cleaner제품에 천연염색을 하고 천연항균제를 처리하여 제품의 세탁 후 항균지속성에 관하여 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 대나무섬유와 N/P극세사 혼방소재에 꼭두서니와 치자로 염색한 뒤, 욕비 1:30으로 고정하고, 5%천연항균제 용액을 제조하였다. 제조된 용액에 시료를 5분간 침지 후, Pick-up율 70%로 조정하였다. 그리고 $80^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 건조 후, $110^{\circ}C$에서 1분간 열처리 하였다. KS K IOS 105-C06의 방법으로 30회 세탁하였다. KS K 0693과 AATCC 100의 시험방법으로 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538(황색포도상구균)과 Klebsiella pneumoniae ATTC 4352(폐렴구균)의 균주에 대한 항균성을 측정하였다. KS K 0693의 경우 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538(황색포도상구균)와 Klebsiella pneumoniae ATTC 4352(폐렴구균)에서 모두 99.9%의 정균감소률을 나타내었고, 또한 AATCC 100에서도 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538(황색포도상구균)과 Klebsiella pneumoniae ATTC 4352(폐렴구균)에서도 모두 99.9%의 정균감소률을 나타냈다.

PLA 섬유는 폴리머의 주성분이 옥수수에서 추출한 모노머를 중합한 화학섬유가 아닌 인체친화적인 식물성 소재이며 생분해성이 좋은 친환경 소재로 최근 주목받고 있는 섬유소재이다. 본 연구에서는 아토피완화용 여러 섬유 구조체 개발에서 사용되는 섬유소재중 PLA 원사에 항균성 물질을 혼입하여 PLA 항균사 제조를 위한 연구를 수행하였다. PLA Grade의 점도가 낮아질수록 Grade별 용융 지수값은 차이를 나타내지만 방사온도 $230^{\circ}C$를 변곡점으로 하여 용융점도가 급격히 변하였으며, 특히 방사온도 $240^{\circ}C$의 경우 용융지수가 100을 넘어가고 폴리머의 색깔이 황갈색을 띄어 폴리머의 열분해가 많이 일어났을 것으로 판단되었다. PLA의 적정 방사온도 구간은 $210{\sim}225^{\circ}C$ 구간이 최적이며 그 이상에서는 Color 변화 및 물성 저하가 나타나는 것으로 판단되었다. 항균성 PLA 섬유를 제조하기 위하여 피톤치드계 유기항균제를 이용하였으며, 피톤치드에 기능성 엘라스토머를 사용하여 Capsulation을 진행하였다. 이러한 유기항균제 Powder의 경우 비중이 낮아 표면적로 인하여 마스터배치 칩을 만드는 공정에서 잘 혼합되지 않는 문제점이 발생하였으나, 피톤치드의 함량을 조절하여 PLA와의 마스터배치 칩 제조를 시험하였다. 압출온도와 토출량, Screw 조건(Mixing, Zone)을 시험하여 적정 조건을 설정하였다. 항균사 PLA 섬유는 Sheath/Core 복합방사 형태와 단독사 형태의 2가지 Type을 제조하였다. Sheath/Core 복합방사 폴리머 구성은 Sheath부에 PLA항균사, Core부에 PLA 또는 저융점 PET를 사용하였다. Core부의 폴리머는 제사성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 항균 마스터배치의 함량이 증가할수록 Pack압 상승이 급격히 일어나는 단점이 나타났다. 항균제 5% 정도가 혼입되어 있는 경우에 2.1 이상의 정균활성치와 99.8% 정도의 정균감소율 성능을 나타내었다. PLA 단독사의 경우, 항균제 최적 함량은 3% 이상으로 정균활성치 5.5 이상, 정균감소율 99.9%의 우수한 항균특성을 나타내었다.

Numbers of total bacteria and fungal propagules were highly populated in the soil of diseased plot in Gumsan, whereas numbers of actinomycetes were high in the soil of healthy plot in Goesan. In microbial fluctuation of different soil conditions four weeks after amended with various plant materials, bacteria were decreased in the soil amended with various plant materials as compared with non-amended soil except for Goesan. On the contrary, numbers of fungal propagules were increased amended with onion and potato stalk in two soils at different conditions, and also the propagules were enhanced in the soil amended with various plant materials in general. Higher numbers of bacteria and fungal propagules were observed in the diseased replanted plot in general, but germination rate of fungal spores relatively reversed against the microbial population. Alternaria panax was not affected much in their germination by natural soil condition, while Fusarium spp. were affected in their germination by natural soil. Natural soil showed a fungistatic effect against four fungal spores.

In this study, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Sophora japonica extracts were investigated to determine the potential of S. japonica as a functional food and medicinal materials. S. japonica was divided into flowers, fruits, and branches, and ethanol extraction was used. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were significantly higher in the flower and fruit extracts than in the branch extracts, but the ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity and ORAC value were higher in the branch extracts. Among the ethanol extracts of S. japonica, branch extracts showed strong antibacterial activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the MIC was 0.2 mg/ml. Branch extracts showed bacteriostatic activity against P. gingivalis at a concentration of 0.4 mg/ml or less and bactericidal activity at a concentration of 0.6 mg/ml or more. Biofilm biomass production and cell growth of P. gingivalis in the culture medium treated with the branch extract at a concentration of 0.2-2.0 mg/ml were significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the mRNA expression of fimA and mfa1 associated with fimbriae formation in these cultures was suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on these results, S. japonica branch extracts can be used as functional food and medicinal materials, as demonstrated by their antioxidant and antibacterial activities against P. gingivalis and the inhibition of biofilm formation resulting from P. gingivalis.

This study was investigated to evaluate the potential of Stewartia koreana Nakai as an oral healthcare material. The inhibitory effects of extracts on the biofilm formation and fimbriae genes expression of Porphyromonas gingivalis were determined by minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC), biofilm biomass staining, SEM, and qRT-PCR analysis. The S. koreana Nakai branch was extracted into 70% ethanol, and bacteriostatic MIC of extracts against P. gingivalis were 0.6 mg/ml. In P. gingivalis cultures treated with 0.2-2.0 mg/ml of extract, biofilm production rate was significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. The morphology of treated and untreated samples was observed by SEM, and cell aggregation and biofilm were only observed in those treated with extract. Subsequently, qRT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression on fimbriae genes fimA and fimB was suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on these results, it can be suggested that S. koreana branch extract has the potential to be used as naturally derived oral healthcare material because of its bacteriostatic action and inhibition of P. gingivalis biofilm formation.

The antifungal activity of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), an antioxidative food preservative, was investigated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. At the general condition for antifugal test, EDTA exhibited the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 ${\mu}g/ml$ and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of 6,400 ${\mu}g/mL$, As seen with the antibacterial activity, the antifungal activity of EDTA was greatly decreased by high inoculum size, acidic medium, and cation ($Ca^{++},\;or\;Mg^{++}$) added to medium. On the other hand, when EDTA was combined with polygodial isolated from natural food spice, they showed strong synergism on the antifungal activity. Further, the diminishing antifungal activity of EDTA by high inoculum size, acidic medium, and cation ($Ca^{++}\;or\;Mg^{++}$) added to medium was considerably improved by the combination with polygodial.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/chitosan blend films with non-toxicity, biodegradability, and biocom-patibility were prepared by solution casting. Variation of the physicochemical properties of the blend films was investigated through to several analysis methods. Examination of antibacterial properties revealed that bacterio-static ratios of all blend samples containing chitosan more than 10 wt％ were greater than 99.9％. Moisture regain was increased with increasing chitosan content but the degree of swelling was decreased. Up to chitosan content 15 wt％t, the melting and crystallization temperature of blend films was increased with chitosan content. The blends containing chitosan content 10 and 15 wt％ gave melting temperature 229 and 228$^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, the melting temperature was decreased if chitosan content exceeded 20 wt％. The mechanical properties of the blend films were increased with increasing chitosan content in both dry and wet states. The blend film including 15 wt％ chitosan exhibited unusually high tensile strength.

최근 환경과 건강에 대한 관심이 증대되면서, 천연 섬유를 소재로 사용한 최종 제품 역시 고급화 및 고기능화되고 있는 추세이며 섬유항균가공분야에 있어서도 천연 추출물을 이용한 항균가공이 주목을 받고 있다. 현재 항균가공에 사용되고 있는 항균제는 일반적으로 합성항균제를 사용하고 있고 이는 거의 대부분 자극성 화합물로써 인체에 잠재적 유해요인이 될 수 있고 제조 및 가공과정에서 환경오염을 유발시키는 문제점도 발생되고 있다. 반면 천연추출물을 사용할 경우 합성물질에 비해 포름알데히드 검출 등의 인체 안정성의 불안이 적어 건강차원에서 그 인식이 점차 증대되고 있는 추세이다. 천연항균물질에는 chitosan이나 식물에서 추출된 천연항균물질 등이 있는데 특히 식물에서 추출된 천연항균물질은 피톤치드(phytoncide)라고 표현되고 있으며 이는 수목들이 해충이나 미생물 등으로부터 자기방어를 위해 공기 중으로 발산하는 방향성의 항생물질을 뜻하는 말이다. 본 연구에서는 식물 중에서 피톤치드 정유의 함량이 많다고 알려진 측백나무과의 편백나무 정유를 이용하였으며 편백나무 정유가 식물성 천연 오일형태이므로 가공 처리 시 물과 계면이 발생되기 때문에 HLB(Hydrophilic Lipophlic Balance) 조건에 따른 최적 유화조건을 선정하였으며 편백나무 정유를 이용한 면직물의 항균 기능 부여를 위한 시험으로 편백나무 정유 처리 농도에 따른 항균성을 평가해 보고자 하였다. 실험 결과 편백나무 정유는 HLB 15이상 계면활성제 사용 시 물에 용해성이 좋고 안정된 에멀젼 상태를 보였으며 제조된 편백나무 정유 가공액 5%이상 처리 시 Staphylococcus aureus과 Klebsiella pneumoniae의 99.9% 정균감소율을 나타내었다.
