This study was conducted to establish the efficient screening method for resistant cabbage to Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans. The resistance degrees of nine commercial cabbage cultivars to the disease were evaluated. Among them, five cultivars (YR-honam, Ogane, Greenhot, Redmat, and Ccoccoma) showing different resistance to the fungus were selected. Then development of Fusarium wilt of the cultivars according to several conditions including root wounding, dipping period of roots in spore suspension, inoculum concentration, and incubation temperature to develop the disease was investigated. Highly resistant cultivars such as 'YR-honam' and 'Ogane' hardly showed change of resistance to the disease by root wounding, dipping period, and inoculum concentration, while disease severity of Fusarium wilt on the cultivars was changed with incubation temperatures ($20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$). When the cabbage cultivars were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$, they represented the most difference of resistance and susceptibility to Fusarium wilt. From above results, we suggest that an efficient screening method for resistant cabbage to F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans is to dip the non-cut roots of 14-day-old seedlings in spore suspension of $1{\times}10^7$ conidia/ml for 0.5 hr and to transplant the seedlings to plastic pots with a fertilized soil, and then to cultivate the plants in a growth chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks to develop Fusarium wilt.

Root-dipping inoculation method has been widely used to determine the resistance of watermelon to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum causing Fusarium wilt. Although this method leads to the precise results of plant disease responses, more rapid and efficient assay methods have been still required because the root-dipping inoculation method is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we established a simple and effective bioassay method based on the comparison of various inoculation methods and growth conditions. To develop the system, the occurrence of Fusarium wilt on four resistant and susceptible cultivars was investigated by four different inoculation methods, root-dipping, scalpel, tip and soil-drenching methods. Of these inoculation methods, scalpel method resulted in clear plant disease resistance responses with the simplicity. With the use of scalpel method, we also explored the disease development of the cultivars depending on inoculum concentration, growth stage of seedlings, and incubation temperature after inoculation. Furthermore, we found that the resistance degrees of 23 cultivars derived by scalpel inoculation method were similar to the results by root-dipping method established previously.

농산물의 품질 및 성분을 측정하는데 있어 기존의 화학적 분석 방식은 정밀도가 높으나 측정에 소요되는 시간과 비용이 많이 들어, 현장 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 일반적으로 근적외선 분광 분석(Near Infra Red Spectroscopy, NIRS) 방법은 가공 과정에 따라 빠르게 변화되는 단백질 조성 및 수분함량 측정 등에 이용되고 있다. 분석에 소요 시간이 많이 걸리는 켈달법(Kjeldahi method)에 비해 NIR 분광 분석을 통한 보정으로 연속적인 모니터링이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 사용된 시료를 고정시키기 위한 프레임을 제작한 후 NIR센서와 광원인 LED의 각도를 고정시키고 측정 대상체인 사절된 감자 크기에 따라 시료를 고정시킬 수 있는 프레임을 반사면에 위치시켰다. 확산 반사법을 이용하여 프레임에 씨감자 시료를 고정 시킨 후 백색 LED를 이용하여 감자 표면에 빛을 반사시켜 3일 동안 12시간 마다 해당 시료들(열처리, 비누용액 침지, 생감자)의 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 해당 시료들은 측정 기간 동안 저온상태($4^{\circ}C$)와 실온상태($20^{\circ}C$)에서 보관되었다. 실험 결과는 파장대 145nm에서 저온상태에서 보관된 생감자는 시간경과에 따른 흡광도의 결정 계수값($r^2$)은 0.98 이었다. 이는 감자가 저온에서 생감자의 상태 변화가 일어나고 있다는 것을 의미하고 파장대 145nm에서 시간에 따른 저온상태에서 보관한 감자의 상태 변화 예측이 가능함을 의미한다. 비누용액에 침지시킨 후 실온에 보관한 감자는 시간이 경과함에 따라 파장이 증가함에 따라 흡광도가 증가하였다. 이는 감자에 들어있는 Polyphenol Oxidase 함량 변화로 갈변 현상이 일어난 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 실온에서 보관한 생감자도 시간 경과에 따라 갈변 현상이 일어났지만 용액에 침지시킨 감자보다는 갈변 현상이 36시간 이후로 발견되었다. 열처리 후 실온에서 보관한 감자의 경우에는 갈변현상이 나타나지 않았다. 저온상태에서 보관한 감자시료들 모두 갈변형상이 나타나지 않았지만, 24시간이 지난 후 용액에 침지시킨 감자는 갈변 현상이 발생되었다. 생감자와 열처리한 감자는 시간 경과에 따른 갈변현상이 일어나지 않았으므로, 감자의 갈변현상은 감자의 표면 처리 방법에 국한되지 않고 온도에 영향을 더 많이 받는다는 것을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구는 향후 감자의 품질 및 성분 측정에서 간편하게 사용될 수 있는 감자의 품질 계측 기술에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality and characteristics of semi-dried persimmons soaked in different concentrations of sugar solution and stored at $7^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. The L value and chroma value were significantly higher in S5 and S10 compared to the other concentrations of sugar solution. The ${\Delta}E$ and browning degree were increased according to the increase in concentration of sugar solution. Total sugar, reducing sugar, and sugar free contents were higher in the control (semi-dried persimmon) than those in S0, but they increased according to the increase in concentration of sugar solution. Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities were decreased according to the increase in sugar solution concentration, which were highest in S0 among other semi-dried persimmons soaked in sugar solutions. Total ascorbic acid content was highest in S10 (12.29 mg/g), followed by S0 (2.54 mg/g), S5 (7.76 mg/g), S15 (6.05 mg/g), and S20 (5.05 mg/g). Total polyphenols, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins contents were the highest in S10 compared to other semi-dried persimmons soaked in sugar solutions. Furthermore, the same tendency was observed with DPPH radical scavenging ability. These results showed that 10% sugar solution could be applied to semi-dried persimmons in order to achieve high quality, nutritional value, and browning inhibition.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the disinfection of clinical ultrasound probes using the vapor fumigation method, which can quickly achieve high-level disinfection. Upon the inspection of the microbial contamination level of clinically used ultrasound probes, nine different types of bacteria were detected. The disinfection efficacy of 7.5% and 35% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was comparatively tested for the detected microbes. The 35% H₂O₂ demonstrated superior efficacy per disinfection duration. No significant change was observed in the rubber component of the ultrasound probes as a result of the 35% H₂O₂ disinfection treatment. The probes were contaminated with the microbes detected in the microbial contamination level inspection and subsequently disinfected using the novel medical disinfector that utilizes the vapor fumigation method. As a result, the disinfection using the novel device achieved 100% eradication of the microbes from the probes.This study demonstrates that the novel vapor fumigation method-based disinfector provides a faster and more powerful means of disinfection than the conventional disinfection methods. Therefore, the novel disinfector has the potential to be used as a convenient ultrasound probe disinfector in clinical settings.

This study was conducted to evaluate various beneficial functions of soaked and germinated Robusta coffee beans. Vietnam Robusta coffee beans were soaked in purified water or Salicornia extract for 12 h. The total polyphenol content of non-germinated coffee (NGC), Salicornia extract-germinated coffee (SGC), and water-germinated coffee (WGC) was found to be 16.71-20.17%. First, NGC, SGC, and WGC at concentrations of 25-100 ㎍/mL showed significant anti-oxidant effects on DPPH radical scavenging and xanthine oxidase activity. NGC, SGC, and WGC also inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin formation in α-MSH-induced B16F10 cells. In addition, the anti-obesity property of germinated coffees was tested by the Oil Red O staining method. NGC, SGC, and WGC inhibited adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells without cytotoxicity. Taken together, germinated Robusta coffees with enhanced flavor showed beneficial multifunctional effects, such as anti-oxidant, anti-melanogenesis, and anti-adipogenesis effects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the magnesium sulfate resistance of a geopolymer mixed with rice husk powder. General concrete, silica fume mixed concrete, and binary blended geopolymer were selected as comparison targets to confirm the magnesium sulfate resistance, and sulfate deterioration was calculated using the compressive strengths with ages. In addition, the weight change rate and the relative dynamic coefficient of the geopolymer were comparatively analyzed, and the degree of etteringite formation was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis. the experiment, the geopolymer mixed with 10% rice husk powder showed 10.8% higher compressive strength than concrete with silica fume when submerged for 56 days. Also, the geopolymer mixed with rice husk powder showed a small weight change rate of 0.9 to 1.45%. composition after immersion in magnesium sulfate through X-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that a small amount of ettringite was dispersed in the geopolymer containing rice husk powder. Thus, there is a high correlation with the corrosion resistance of magnesium sulfate
