물 종류를 달리한 된장의 메탄올 추출물로 돌연변이유발 억제효과를 관찰한 결과 일반 수돗물로 담근 된장보다 게르마늄수와 고로쇠나무 수액으로 담근 된장이 Ames test와 SOS chromotest에서 높은 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. 즉 Ames 실험에서 일반 재래식된장의 메탄올 추출물을 1 mg/plate 농도로 사용하였을 때 S. Typhimurium TA100에서 $AFB_1$의 돌연변이유발 억제작용을 나타내지 않았으나 게르마늄수 된장과 고로쇠나무 수액을 첨가한 된장의 메탄올 추출물은 $56{\sim}62%$ 억제되었으며 5 mg/plate 농도에서도 일반 된장보다 억제효과가 높았다. 또한 E. coli PQ37에서 MNNG의 돌연변이유발 억제효과도 일반 된장보다 게르마늄수 된장과 고로쇠나무 수액된장에서 더 높게 나타났다. S. Typhimurium TA100에서 MNNG를 돌연변이원으로 사용한 Ames test에서 천일염을 사용한 된장보다 구운 소금과 죽염을 사용한 것이 억제효과가 컸으며 1 mg/plate와 5 mg/plate 농도에서 1회 구운 죽염이 9회 구운 죽염을 첨가한 된장 추출물보다 항돌연변이 효과가 크게 나타났다. SOS chromotest에서도 1회 구운 죽염 된장은 다른 소금 된장 추출물에 비하여 MNNG의 돌연변이를 가장 크게 억제하였다. 이상의 결과에서 된장을 담글 때 사용하는 물과 소금의 종류에 따라 항돌연변이 효과는 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었으며 향후 된장에 물과 소금이 미치는 다양한 생리적 기능에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The desmutagenic activity of the water extract of Areca catechu L. on the mutagenicity induced by aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$), N-methyl-N-nitro-N'-nitrosoguani-dine (MNNG), mitomycin C (MMC) and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) was studied by using the SOS Chromotest with Escherichia coli PQ37. The inhibition rates of water extract of Areca catechu L. at concentration of $100{\mu}g/assay$ were 41.0%, 47%, 46%, and 32% against $AFB_1$, MNNG, MMC and 4-NQO, respectively. The water extract of Areca catechu L. was separated into methanol soluble and methanol insoluble parts. The methanol insoluble part exhibited higher inhibition effect than the methanol soluble part against the mutagenic activities of MNNG. Step-wise fractionation of methanol insoluble part was done to obtain methanol, ethyl acetate and water fractions. Among these fractions, water fraction had the strongest inhibitory effect of 45.0% against mutagenicities of MNNG. The inhibition rates of aqueous fraction of methanol-insoluble from water extracted Areca catechu L. at concentrations of 1.61, 16.13, 161.29 and $322.58{\mu}g/mL$ were 12.0%, 24.0%, 47.5% and 62.0%, respectively. The water fraction showed the inhibitory effects with dose response against the mutagenic activity induced by MNNG.

A series of organosulfur compounds were synthesized with the aim of developing chemopreventive compounds active against hepatotoxicity and chemical carcinogesis. 2-(Allylthio) prazine (2-AP) was effective in inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1-mediated catalytic activities and protein expression, and in inducing microsomal epoxide hydrolase and major glutathione S-transferases. 2-AP reduced the hepatotoxicity caused by toxicant sand elevated cellular GSH content. Development of skin tumors, pulmonary adenoma and aberrant crypt foci in colon by various chemical carcinogens was inhibited by 2-AP pretreatment. Anticarcinogenic effects of 2-AP at the stage of initiation of tumors were also observed in the aflatoxin B1 ($AFB_1$)-induced three-step medium-term hepatocarcinogenesis model. Reduction of $AFB_1$-DNA adduct by 2-AP appeared to result from the decreased formation of $AFB_1$-8,9-epoxide via suppression of cytochrome P450, while induction of GST 2-AP increases the excretion of glutathione-conjugated $AFB_1$ . 2-AP was a radioprotective agent effective against the lethal dose of total body irradiation and reduced radiation-induced injury in association with the elevation of detoxifying gene expression. 2-AP produces reactive oxygen species in vivo, which is not mediated with the thiol-dependent production of oxidants and that NF-KB activation is not involved in the induction of the detoxifying enzymes. the mechanism of chemoprotection by 2-AP may involve inhibition of the P450-mediated metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens and enhancement of electrophilic detoxification through induction of phase II detoxification enzymes which would facilitate the clearance of activated metabolites through conjugation reaction.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of antioxidant vitamins on the cellular oxidant damage by observing the mitogenicity in the mouse spleen and the strand breaks of DNA in mouse blood induced by $AFB_2$. Intraperitoneal(i.p.) injections of vitamin C(VC) of 10 mg/kg and vitamin E(VE) of 63.8 mg/kg were repeatedly administered to male ICR mice of 6 weeks old at intervals of 4 times every 2 days. After one hour vitamin treatments, $AFB_1$ of 0.4 mg/kg was injected into the $AFB_2$ plus vitamin treated groups in the same way. On the other hands, into the $AFB_2$ only treated group, only $AFB_2$ was injected without vitamins in the same method as above. The results of the experiment are as follows ; as regard to comet assay, DNA strand breaks were clearly present and they formatted a typical comet tail in the mice blood of the $AFB_2$ only treated groups. However, comet tails apparently disappeared in $AFB_2$ plus antioxidant vitamins treated groups since oxidant damage was controlled in an almost similar level to the control group. Mitogenicity of the spleen also showed a similar tendency as before, and these differences were more remarkably observed in the reaction against Con-A, which is a T-cell mitogen. In these data, the statistical significance was p<0.01. The LDL and VLDL levels were 408.72, 504.47 mg/dl respectively in the $AFB_2$ only treated groups. Compared with the $AFB_1$ only treated groups, those of $AFB_2$ plus antioxidant vitamin treated groups decreased to 272.06(VC), 305.28 mg/dl(VE), respectively. On the other hand, HDL levels were diminished to 32.60, 29.60 mg/dl in $AFB_2$ only treated groups, compared to 42.23, 41.14 mg/dl in the $AFB_2$ plus antioxidant vitamins treated groups. But, blood glucose levels were not statistically significant.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics, and antimutagenicity of buchu(leek, Allium odorum) kimchi during fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar contents and pH of buchu kimchi were decreased during the fermentation. The reduction rate of reducing sugar of glutinous rice paste and shrimp added buvhu kimchi(GSBK) was faster than those of control buchu kimchi(CBK) and glutious rice paste added bucku kimchi(GBK). Acidity increased rapidly until 4 days,a nd optimum acidity (0.6%) of bucku kimchi was reached within 2 day. Also total bacterial and lactic acid bacterial counts greatly increased after 4 days of the fermentation. The numbers of lactic acid bacteria after 8 day- fermentation in CBK and GSBK, and 10 day-fermentation in GBK were the highest values, 4.5$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, 4.8$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml and 6.1$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, respectively. In the sensory evaluation, appearance of sample was good at 0 day, taste from overall quality of buchu kimchi were asquired the highest values at 6th day. The methanol extracts from buchu kimchi(GBK) showed antimutagenicity against aflatoxin {TEX}$B_{1}${/TEX}({TEX}$AFB_{1}${/TEX})in Salmonella typhimurium TA100. The inhibition ration were 58~69% with treatment of the 5% methanol extracts, and when the adding concentration increased the effect increased.

11종(아플라톡신 $B_1$, $B_2$, $G_1$, $G_2$, 오크라톡신 A, 푸모니신 $B_1$, $B_2$, 제랄레논, 데옥시니발레놀, T-2 toxin과 HT-2 toxin) 곰팡이독소 동시분석법을 정립하였다. 1/6 면역친화컬럼을 이용하여 정제하였으며, LC/MS/MS로 분석하였다. 각각 독소별 정성한계는 S/N=3에서 0.1-3.0 ${\mu}g/kg$이었으며, 정량한계는 S/N=10에서 0.3-10.0 ${\mu}g/kg$이었다. 회수율(recovery)은 70.45-111.11%이었으며, 상대표준편차(RSD)는 0.10-14.45%로 나타났다. 동 분석법을 이용하여 대표적인 한국산 농산물인 백미, 보리, 옥수수에 대한 곰팡이독소 오염실태를 조사하였다. 푸모니신, 데옥시니발레놀, 제랄레논이 백미와 보리에서 각각 평균 29.8, 6.4, 36.2%와 2.3, 55.8, 34.9%의 평균 오염율을 보였으며, 다른 독소들은 나타나지 않았다. 옥수수에서는 1개의 시료에서 푸모니신($B_1+B_2$)이 100.90 ${\mu}g/kg$ 검출되었다. 하지만, 곰팡이독소 오염 수준은 현재 우리나라 각 곰팡이독소 허용 최대기준치 이내로 나타났다. 한편, 벼의 가공단계, 재배지역, 벼 품종 및 품질 등급에 따른 곰팡이독소 오염현황을 비교하였다. 벼에서 현미, 백미로 가공될수록 곰팡이독소 오염도는 감소하였다. 동일 품종의 경우에 상대적으로 기온이 높은, 낮은 위도의 지역에서 재배된 벼가 곰팡이독소가 많이 오염된 것으로 나타났으며, 벼의 품질 등급이 낮아질수록 높은 곰팡이독소 오염도를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 종합적으로 살펴보았을 때 국내산 주요 농산물의 곰팡이독소 오염수준이나 위해도가 기준치 이내이며, 위험한 수준은 아닌 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, 곰팡이독소는 코덱스 등 국제사회에서 중요하게 다루어지고 있고, 현재까지 알려지지 않은 위험성이나 신규 독소들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 만큼 우리나라도 충분한 연구를 통하여 우리 식품에 대한 안전성 논란에 사전 대비토록 하여야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity, antimutagenic and anticancer effects and dyeing properties of the fermented indigo extract. The physiological effects of natural color extracts from colorant plants(gardenia, beet and indigo) were studied. The methanol extract of indigo showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of E. coli and Staph. aureus, and also showed a strong antimicrobial effect on Trich. mentagrophytes compared to others. The methanol extract of indigo showed antimutagenic activities against aflatoxin B1(AFB1) in the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA 100. The proliferation of Clone M-3 mouse melanoma cells and A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells was inhibited by the methanol extract of indigo. So we decided to use natural indigo for dyeing the fabrics because of those effects. Dried indigo leaves were fermented at variouss temperature and the fermented indigo was reduced by using alkaline(NaOH, Ca(OH)2) and glucose to dye the fabrics. The values of K/S fermented indigo showed the highest value when it was fermented at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The indigo fermented at 3$0^{\circ}C$ had the greatest number of total bacterial counts and we identified one of the main microorganisms as Aspergillus niger. This microorganism was responsible for the indigo fermentation and accelerated indigo fermentation. So it can be supposed to reduce the fermentation period of indigo by inoculating Aspergillus niger into the indigo leaves at 3$0^{\circ}C$.

Sterigmatocystin bears a close structural relationship to aflatoxin $B_1$ and is a carcinogenic compound that has been shown to affect various species of experimental animals. Reaction and toxicity of sterigmatocystin in the artificial gastric juice were investigated. Sterigmatocystin was degraded in artificial gastric juice and extracted by the method of A.O.A.C. After cleaned up by silica gel column chromatography, this substance was detected and characterized by thin layer chromatography, UV, IR and mass spectra. It showed $R{\mathcal{f}}$ 0.4 and brick-red color by TLC. Especially, in the mass spectrum of it, fragment peak at m/e 327 was due to the loss of the $-CH_3$ and $-H_2O$, fragment peak at m/e 341 was due to the loss of the $H_2O$ and $-H^+$, and fragment peak at m/e 239 was due to the loss of the 2-chloro-tetrahydrofuran and methyl group from the parent molecule. Therefore, a degraded substance of sterigmatocystin reacted in artificial gastric juice (Sub. K) was estimated with additional formation of hydrochloric acid. In four-day-old chicken embryos, the mean lethal dose $(LD_{50})$ was $140\;{\mu}g/egg$, and 90 to 100% of the embryos were killed with 1 mg/egg. This $LD_{50}$ $140\;{\mu}g/egg$ compared with an $LD_{50}$ $14.69\;{\mu}g/egg$ for sterigmatocystin (acute toxicity) showed the substance to be much less toxic than sterigmatocystin.

국내 유통되는 견과류 및 그 가공품, 건조과실류 총 225건을 대상으로 면역친화성칼럼으로 정제한 후 RRLC-MS/MS을 이용하여 아플라톡신에 대한 오염도를 조사하였다. 보다 효율적인 아플라톡신 분석을 위해 RRLC-MS/MS를 이용하여 직선성, 정확성, 정밀성, 검출한계 및 정량한계로 분석법의 유효성 검증을 하였다. 상관계수($R^2$)는 0.9999 이상의 우수한 직선성을 보였고, 아플라톡신의 회수율은 71.1-97.2%였고, RSD는 0.25-4.50%로 우수한 재현성을 나타냈다. 검출한계는 $0.02-0.05{\mu}g/kg$였고, 정량한계는 $0.05-0.10{\mu}g/kg$였다. 확립된 분석법에 의해 분석한 결과 그 오염 수준은 $B_1$은 $0.10-9.94{\mu}g/kg$, $B_2$는 $0.08-1.54{\mu}g/kg$, $G_1$은 $0.04-3.21{\mu}g/kg$,$G_2$는 $0.06-0.14{\mu}g/kg$였다. 본 연구결과에서 나타난 오염수준은 국내규격 기준 이하였으나, 곰팡이독소의 생성 특이성을 고려한다면 다양한 식품 유형에 대한 지속적인 아플라톡신 함량조사와 함께 다른 곰팡이독소에 대한 연구도 필요하다고 판단된다.
