There are normal inhabitants doing medically useful functions in the body. There are many kinds of bacteria performing specific functions in the oral cavity. Two strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from inhabitants of caries-free children's oral cavity, which inhibited the formation of artificial plaque by Streptococcus mutans and the production of volatile sulfur compounds by anaerobic bacteria. The isolates were identified by the test using API 50 CHL medium kit and 16S rDNA partial sequencing. 1. Two isolates were Gram-positive bacilli and produced hydrogen peroxide. 2. When Streptococcus mutans was cultured in the media, the mean weight of formed artificial plaque on the orthodontic wires was $124.4{\pm}30.4\;mg$, whereas being reduced to $5.2{\pm}2.0mg$ and $10.6{\pm}6.6mg$ in the media cultured with Streptococcus mutans and each isolate, respectively (p<0.05) 3. The number of viable cells of Streptococcus mutans was $3.4{\times}10^9$ per ml in the cultured solution, whereas those of Streptococcus mutans in the combined culture with each of isolates were $4.6{\times}10^8\;and\;2.4{\times}10^8$ per ml. 4. The optical density was 1.286 in the supernatant of Fusobacterium nucleatum after vortexing for 30minutes, whereas in the supernatant of combined Fusobacterium nucleatum and each isolate, they were reduced to 0.628 and 0.497, which the percentages of coaggregation between them were 29.4% and 57.8%, respectively 5. The optical density of Fusobacterium nucleatum precipitate was 1.794 in the culture media containing cysteine and $FeSO_4$, being reduced to 1.144 and 0.915 in the coaggregated precipitates of Fusobacterium nucleatum and each isolate. The optical density of Porphyromonas gingivalis precipitate was 1.932 in the culture media, being reduced to 1.170 and 1.266 in the coaggregated precipitates of Porphyromonas gingivalis and each isolate. 6. When two isolates were tested with API 50 CHL medium kit, those were identified Lactobaciallius salivarius and Lactobaciallius delbrueckii subsp. lactis. 7. The similarity values of 16S rDNA sequence between each of isolates and Lactobaciallius salivarius subsp. salicinius were 99.60% and 99.73%, respectively, meaning that isolates were Lactobaciallius salivarius subsp. salicinius. These results indicated that two strains isolated from caries-free children's saliva, which inhibited the formation of artificial plaque and the production of volatile sulfur compounds, were identified as Lactobaciallius salivarius subsp. salicinius.

Quality and component of dry Omija during storage and shelf-life of fresh Omija were investigated. Acidity and pH of dry Omija were not significantly different among drying methods, but reducing sugar(3.77%) of field (drying was much lower than that of hot air drying(11.02%) and freeze drying(10.12%). Crude protein was higher in order of freeze drying> hot air drying> field drying, and the optical density of freeze drying at 520nm were higher up to about 3 times than field drying and hot air drying, respectively. Moisture content of dry Omija during the storage was increased, whereas acidity decreased at 25$^{\circ}C$. However changed little at 4, -5, -20$^{\circ}C$ Reducing sugar increased until 8 mouth, and thereafter decreased continuously. Optical density and color(L,a,b) decreased at 25$^{\circ}C$ but increased at 4, -5, -20$^{\circ}C$. Shelf-life of flesh Omija at 4$^{\circ}C$ was limited to 9 days because staring decay. Acidity and reducing sugar of flesh Omija continuously decreased during storage at -5, -60$^{\circ}C$. Optical density increased until 8 month and then decreased, and especially the optical density of 8 month storage at -60$^{\circ}C$ was higher than initial's.

Effects of ethanol and/or some organic acid on the growth of some microorganism grown in Kimchi, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Kluyveromyces marxianus, were identified and the cell injury was observed by measuring optical density at 260nm. When 0.0∼5.0% ethanol was added in the growth medium, the cell growth was inhibited depending on the concentration. Organic acids involving acetic, adipic and citric acid inhibited the growth of L. plantarum and Leu. mesenteroides, but K. marxianus, the yeast, was not at 0.1% of organic acid. When 2.0% of ethanol and 0.1% of organic acid were used, adipic acid was more effective on the growth inhibition. This inhibition of microbial growth seemed to be caused by the leakage of internal contents from microbes which were observed by the optical density at 260nm in the buffer supernatant. 5.0% of ethanol accelerated the optical density increase at 260nm in L. plantarum, Leu. mesenteroides and K. marxianus, but 2.0% of ethanol did not. 0.1% organic acid increased the absorbance of the supernatant in lactic bacteria, but not in yeast, K. marxianus. The measurement of absorbance at 260nm revealed that the cell injury increased when 2.0% of ethanol and/or 0.1% of organic acid. especially adipic acid were added.

Some chemical components, absorbance at 450nm and color of traditional and improved soysauce during fermentation were investigated. The traditional soysauce was made from soybean Meju and the improved soysauces were prepared from Kojis of various mixtures of soybean and wheat. The contents of reducing sugar were higher in the improved soysauces than in the traditional soysauce and it increased with proportion to the mixing amount of wheat. The contents of total nitrogen and amino nitrogen were increased gradually during fermentation and, in the improved soysauce, it increased with the amount of soybean. The changes of the absorbance and the chromaticity were greaser in the traditional soysauce than in the improved soysauce during fermentation. The increase of absorbance and the chromaticity was greater in the improved soysauce than that of the traditional soysauce during heating process. In the improved soysauce, the greater the amounts of wheat in Koji, the greater the increase of color.

Antimicrobial action of phytoncide in the mouth decrease odor-producing microorganisms. Also phytoncide has malodor effect by reaction with volatile sulfur compounds. Phytoncide has excellent malodor effect in microbiologically and chemically. This study prove the malodor effect of phytoncide by use ferrous sulfate. So I try to make new treatment method for halitosis. I get the results as follows. 1. The difference of mean value of absorbancy was 0.849 between the mean absorbancy of deposition by add phytoncide to saliva and the saliva only. 2. The difference of mean value of absorbancy was 0.701 between the mean absorbancy of deposition by add phytoncide to distilled water and the distilled water only. 3. The difference of mean value(0.849) in saliva by existence of phytoncide was larger than in double distilled water(0.701) by existence of phytoncide. Therefore, phytoncide make more deposition in saliva than double distilled water by reaction with sulfur compounds. As the results, phytoncide reaction with sulfur compounds in saliva. It take malodor action in liquid state effectively. It is thought, only the toothpaste it knows from in the limit which does not have a side effect by the human body it adds in the oral cavity of the mouth rinse and with the fact that it will be able to use positively in clinic.

Cutting force, degree of cooking, cooking loss and absorbances of cooking solution of three cultivars of Korean kidney beans, Pink(PKB), Red(RKD) and White(WKB) were compared. The cutting force of raw kidney bean was 23,500~27,000g. The optimum soaking conditions to give the same cutting force of beans were 10hr at $10^{\circ}C,\;8hr\;at\;20^{\circ}C,\;6hr\;at\;30^{\circ}C\;and\;3hr\;at\;40^{\circ}C$. At optimum soaking conditions, the degree of cooking was determined by measuring the maximum cutting force of cotyledon. The terminal points of cooking at $98^{\circ}C$ were 23min for PKB, 25min for RKB and 27min for WKB. Cooking loss of kidney beans during cooking were 3.4~5.4%. Absorbances of cooking solution showed a similar pattern in all samples, except PKB soaked at $10^{\circ}C$ for 10hr.

최근에 디스프로슘 이온이 도핑된 형광체의 백색 발광 현상 때문에 백색 발광 소재의 제조에 관한 연구가 상당한 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비를 변화시키면서 $BaNb_2O_6:RE^{3+}$ (RE=Eu, Dy) 형광체 분말을 합성한 결과를 보고한다. 특히 활성제 이온인 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비에 따른 $BaNb_2O_6$ 형광체 분말의 결정 구조, 입자의 모양과 크기, 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼의 변화를 관측하였고, 최적의 합성 조건을 제시하고자 한다. 파장 393 nm로 여기 시킨 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비에 따른 $BaNb_2O_6$ 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 580 nm에 주 피크를 갖는 황색 스펙트럼이 관측되었다. 이 발광 신호는 $^4F_{9/2}-^6H_{13/2}$ 전이 신호이다. $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 0 mol인 경우에는 발광 신호가 검출되지 않았다. $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 0.10 mol일 때 발광 피크의 세기는 최대이었으며, $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 계속 증가하지 않고 갑자기 감소하기 시작하였다. 이것은 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 임계값을 초과하여 더욱 증가하면 모체 격자들 사이에 치환 고용되어 있는 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온들 사이의 거리가 더욱 가까워져서 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온들이 서로 용이하게 결합함으로써 내부 산란에 의하여 발광의 세기가 감소함을 의미한다. 흡광 스펙트럼의 경우에, $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 몰 비가 0.01 mol일때 형광체 분말은 두 종류의 흡광 스펙트럼을 나타내었다. 첫째는 $Dy^{3+}$ 양이온과 $O^{2-}$ 음이온들 사이에 발생한 전하 전달 밴드에 의해 발생하는 310 nm를 정점으로 하여 280~340 nm 영역에 걸쳐서 광범위하게 분포하는 흡광 신호가 관측되었으며, 둘째는 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 $4f^9$ 전자 배열 내에서 발생하는 4f-4f 전이 신호로서, 이것은 350~500 nm 영역에 걸쳐서 비교적 밴드폭이 좁은 다수의 흡광 신호가 나타났다. 본 실험에서는 다섯 개의 피크를 갖는 흡광 신호가 검출되었는데, 이중에서 제일 강한 주 피크인 393 nm의 흡수 파장은 모체 격자 내에 있는 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 바닥 상태인 $^6H_{15/2}$ 준위에서 여기 상태인 $^4F_{7/2}$ 인 에너지 준위로 전이하면서 발생한 신호이며, 이에 비하여 상대적으로 흡광 세기가 약한 370, 432, 458, 370 nm의 흡수 파장이 관측되었다.

This study analyzed the total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid (TF), and protein content, the Absorbance at 400 nm (A400), and the antioxidant and hemolytic activities of 150 Korean honey products, including 41 chestnut (CH), 42 acacia (AH), 62 multi-floral (MH), and five Styrax japonica (TH) varieties. Our results showed that the components and antioxidant activities of honey are dependent on botanical origin rather than farming area or farmer. CH showed the highest levels of TP (88.6±29.8 mg/100 g) and TF (1.20±0.82 mg/100 g), whereas TH had the highest protein (21.5±5.1 mg/100 g). A400 was the highest in CH (0.161±0.044). All of the honey products exhibited negligible hemolytic activity against human red blood cells up to 1 mg/ml. Potent radical scavenging activities for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonate) (ABTS), nitrite and reducing power were also observed in CH. Correlation coefficients (CCs) between analysis parameters were calculated and the highest was identified between TP and ABTS scavenging activity (0.726). The CCs between A400 and TP and A400 and ABTS scavenging activity were 0.644 and 0.661, respectively, suggesting that A400 could be used as a quality indicator for the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of particular honeys. Future research on polyphenol by flower origin and the identification of compounds for A400 is necessary.
