The plant Indigofera aspalathoides is used by a large number of tribes in India for the treatment of various hepatic disorders and abscesses. The methanol extract of Indigofera aspalathoides (MEIA) was evaluated for its protective effects on gastric mucosal lesion in Wister albino rats against indomethacin, histamine and ethanol induced gastric mucosal damage. The response to MEIA was assessed using the ulcer index, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and glutahione level. MEIA pretreatment showed protection against chemical induced gastric mucosal damage, a significant reduction in the ulcer index and TBARS activity and increase glutathione level as compared with that of standard drugs.

S-Benzylthiuronium chloride reacts with ethylene glycol, derived from hydrolysis of the fluorides, to produce a crystalline substances. Using this, the fluorides can be indentified by measuring melting point. And when the zirconium-alizarin solution reacts with ethylenefluoro hydrin or ${\beta}-fluoroethyl$ acetate, the red-violet color disappears to produce a yellow dye, which exhibits absorption maximum at about $530\;m{\mu}$ using the 250-microgram standard. Using these properties, the fluorine compounds can be determined conveniently by this method.

인화점은 화재 및 액체의 폭발 위험의 가능성을 결정하는 데 사용되는 가장 중요한 물리적 특성이고, 산업공정에서 안정성 평가시 중요한 연소특성 가운데 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구는 4류 위험물 중 알코올계 혼합물인 {methanol + 1-butanol}, {ethanol + 1-butanol} 그리고 {2-propanol + 1-butanol} 이성분계 101.3 kPa에서 최소인화점을 SETA closed cup flash point tester를 이용하여 측정하였다. 각 이성분계에 대하여 Wilson, NRTL 및 UNIQUAC 파라미터를 이용하여 혼합물에 대한 인화점 예측하고 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 비교결과 모든 예측값과 실험값은 유사한 값을 보였고 편차가 1.14 K 이내의 결과를 보였다.

Objectives : Alcoholic fatty liver is an early and reversible consequence of excessive alcohol consumption. The initial hepatocyte cell death stimulates subsequent inflammatory responses, leading to further liver injury and fibrosis. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Injinsaryung-san extract on the alcoholic fatty liver by chronic EtOH administration. Method : Male Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. All animals were randomly divided into Normal group, treated with saline (n=10); EtOH group, treated with ethanol (n=10); EtOH+IS group, treated with ethanol+Injinsaryung-san extract (n=10). For oral administration of ethanol in Control and Sample group, the ethanol was dissolved in distilled water in concentrations of 25%(v/v). Throughout the experiment of 8 week, the rats were allowed free access to water and standard chow. Sample group were administrated by Injinsaryung-san extract daily for 8 weeks. Results : The levels of hepatic marker such as aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were altered. Histopathological changes were reduced and the expression of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) was markedly attenuated by Injinsaryung-san extract. Conclusion : These data suggest that Injinsaryung-san extract could be effective in protecting the liver from alcoholic fatty liver. The hepatoprotective mechanisms of Injinsaryung-san may be related to attenuation of $TNF-{\alpha}$ protein, as well as to the inhibition of inflammatory response in the liver. Therefore, Injinsaryung-san can be a candidate to protect against alcoholic fatty liver.

Food additives are required to maintain the freshness and quality of foods, particularly meats. However, chemical additives may not be preferred by consumers, and natural materials with antimicrobial and antioxidant effects may be used as replacements for common chemical additives. Accordingly, in this study, we compared the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of natural compounds extracted with ethanol and hot water, and emulsion sausage prepared with natural ethanol extracts was analyzed for pH, color, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and Clostridium perfringens growth during storage. The antimicrobial activities of 49 natural extract candidates against Listeria monocytogenes, C. perfringens, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli were analyzed, and six natural materials with excellent antibacterial activities, i.e., Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb. f. nakaiana (Araki) H. Ohba, Punica granatum L., Ecklonia cava, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner, and Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., and Rubus coreanus Miq. were evaluated to determine their total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities. The total polyphenol contents of ethanol extracts were higher than those of hot water extracts, whereas DPPH radical scavenging activity was found to be higher in hot water extracts. The TBARS values of emulsion sausages were significantly increased as storage time increased, and the TBARS values of emulsion sausages prepared with natural extracts were lower than those of control sausages. Natural extract-treated emulsion sausages showed a 99% reduction in bacterial contents compared with untreated sausages on day 2, with greater than 99.9% reduction after day 3. Thus, these results demonstrated that natural extracts could have applications as natural preservatives in meat products.

본 연구는 기존에 사용되고 있는 음주측정기의 부정확성과 비위생적인 면을 개선하기 위한 비침습적인 알코올 측정기를 개발하기 위해 근적외선분광분석법을 적용하였다. 먼저 근적외선분광분석법으로 혈중 알코올을 측정하기 위한 전 단계로 순수한 알코올을 0.01~0.1%의 농도로 함유한 검체를 측정하였다. MLR(multiple linear regression)방법을 통한 통계적 처리에서 1360, 2256, 2012, 그리고 1358 nm의 네 파장을 선택했을 때 SEC(standard error of calibration)은 0.0039, multiple R은 0.99를 나타냈다. 혈중 알코올 시료 측정시 MLR을 적용했을 때 2266과 2326 nm 파장을 선택했을 경우 가장 유의성 있는 결과를 나타냈다. 또 다른 통계적 방법인 PLSR(partial least squares regression)의 경우 이차 미분 스펙트럼의 1100~1340, 1500~1796, 그리고 2064~2300 nm의 범위에서 4개의 factor를 사용했을 때 0.030의 SEP값을 나타냈다. 이로서 근적외선분광분석법을 이용하여 혈액 중의 알코올을 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

The crude ethanol extract of leaves of Avicennia officinalis Linn. (Family: Avicenniaceae) was screened for its antinociceptive activity. The extract produced significant writhing inhibition in acetic acid-induced writhing in mice at the oral dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (P < 0.001) comparable to the standard drug diclofenac sodium at the dose of 25 mg/kg of body weight. The result tends to suggest the antinociceptive activity of the extract.

The crude ethanol extract of leaves of Sonneratia caseolaris Linn. (Sonneratiaceae) was screened for its antinociceptive and antidiarrhoeal activities. The extract produced significant writhing inhibition in acetic acid induced writhing in mice at dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (P<0.01) comparable to the standard drug diclofenac sodium at the dose of 25 mg/kg of body weight. When tested for its antidiarrhoeal effects on castor oil induced diarrhea in mice, it increased mean latent period and decreased the frequency of defecation significantly at the dose of 500 mg/kg body weight (P < 0.05) comparable to the standard drug loperamide at the dose of 50 mg/kg of body weight. The overall results tend to suggest the antinociceptive and antidiarrhoeal activities of the extract.

본 연구는 초피의 항균 활성 소재의 산업화 타진 연구로 초피과피 정유 성분의 경우 높은 생산단가로 인해 그 활용이 제한적이다. 이에 초피잎을 대상으로 항균 활성소재를 탐색하고 초피의 천연 방향성과 항균력을 이용하여 실내 환경 개선 소재 특히 친환경 항균블라인드 개발에 대한 활용 가능성을 타진하였다. 그 결과, 초피잎 추출물의 항균 활성은 초피과피 추출물보다 약하게 나타났지만, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus와 S.mutans 균에 대하여 IC₅₀ 값은 0.5 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml와 1.0 mg/ml로 운향과 유래 타 Zanthoxylum 속 보다 항균력이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 항균력이 강하게 확인된 초피잎 EtOH 추출물과 EtOAc 추출물의 GC-MS 분석을 통해 초피잎 유래의 항균력 관련 화합물로서 quinic acid, 3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one과 kaempferol 등을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, International Standard Fabrics Test Method에 준하여 초피 추출물을 처리한 블라인드 소재의 항균력을 조사한 결과, 1% 농도의 초피잎 EtOH 추출물을 처리한 직물 블라인드 소재의 경우는 항생제 내성균 S. aureus의 생육을 99.9% 저해하였고, 2% 농도의 처리에 의해서는 K. pneumoniae 생육도 완전히 저해하였다. 이러한 연구결과는, 고가인 초피과피에 비해 농산폐자원으로 폐기되고 있는 초피잎의 항균력을 이용하여 친환경 기능성 항균 직물 블라인드 및 실내 창호 소재를 개발한다면 최근 급증하는 실내 환경성 질환의 예방 및 제어에 매우 유용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Bactericidal efficacies of various sanitizers and disinfectants against 10 Bacillus cereus strains isolated from Korean foods and 8 standard B. cereus strains were investigated. The sanitizing capabilities of ethanol, iodine, chloride, quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxide acetic acid were investigated using the EN 1276 method based on quantitative suspension testing. The resistance against sanitizers and disinfectants was higher for wild-type than standard strains, and the bactericidal activities decreased in dirty conditions. Ethanol, chlorine, and iodine at the maximum level allowed under Korean food sanitation laws showed a great effectiveness against B. cereus. Hydrogen peroxide at 1,100 ppm showed the lowest bactericidal activity against B. cereus. These results indicate that the legally allowed maximum concentrations of sanitizers and disinfectants in Korea do not reduce all B. cereus strains by at least $5\;{\log}_{10}\;CFU/mL$.
