High prices of raw materials used as media for the mushroom cultivation increased the cost of commercial production of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). In this study, garlic peels (Allium sativum f. pekinese) as an agricultural by-product were investigated to replace the saw dust for the bottle cultivation of oyster mushroom. Mycelial growth of oyster mushroom were examined by the extracts made from the sawdust, rice bran and garlic peels. The mycelial growth was very poor in the agar media containing the extracts of sawdust or garlic peels, but was good when those of the rice bran were added. In the polypropylene bottle experiment, the sawdust medium which ammended with minerals vitamin was essential for the production of the mushroom fruitbodies. The rice bran was considered to stimulate the mycelial growth, but not the development of basidiocarps. The garlic peel was not a factor to stimulate the production of mushroom fruitbodies, but a raw material ammended with the rice bran produced much amounts of mushroom. In this work, garlic peels ($10{\sim}70%$ v/v) added to the mixture of sawdust and rice bran (4 : 1, v/v) was considered to help the productions of mushroom fruitbodies. Based on the result, the replacement of expensive saw dust with inexpensive garlic peels was a good example to reduce production cost of the bottle cultivation of mushroom.

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activities, total phenol, and flavonoid contents of 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, and chloroform-methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v) extracts from garlic (Allium sativum L.) peels. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical and ABTS [2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity, ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Total phenol and flavonoid were in a range of 32.59-63.05 mg CAE/g, 5.26-9.22 mg QE/g, respectively. Total phenol and flavonoid were predominant with the values of $63.05{\pm}0.20mgCAE/g$ and $9.22{\pm}0.17mgQE/g$ in 70% ethanol extract. Additionally, 70% ethanol extract also displayed the strongest antioxidant activity followed by 70% methanol extract and CM extract in all assays. These results showed that garlic peel can be used as natural antioxidant in nutraceutical preparations to prevent human diseases.

Ammonium- and potassium-loaded zeolite (NK-Z) and other four kinds of environmental friendly fertilizers/agents were applied to characterize their effectiveness on garlic (Allium sativum L.) growth and soil amelioration. Selenium dioxide ($SeO_2$) and germanium dioxide ($GeO_2$) liquid treatments significantly increased selenium (Se) and germanium (Ge) contents in garlic stems, garlic cloves and clove peels. In soil treated with ZBFC, Se contents in garlic stems, cloves, and clove peels was 13.89-, 12.79-, and 10.96-fold higher, respectively, than in the controls. The inorganic contents of plants grown in soil treated with functional strengthened fertilizers were also higher than in plants grown in control soil. Soil treated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) agents exhibited significantly greater spore density and root colonization rate than in untreated soil. The density of chitinolytic microorganisms in soil treated with colloidal chitin was also significantly higher than in untreated soil. The cation exchange capacities (CEC) in ZAFC-, ZBFC-, and ZBF-treated soils was 16.05%, 8.95%, and 8.80% higher than in control soil 28 weeks after sowing.

A new type of garlic peeling chamber has been developed which separates and peels garlic cloves using high-Pressure water Jets. The cylindrically-shaped chamber was fabricated with stainless steel plate and has a number of drilled holes, which function as solid-stream spray nozzles, on its interior wall. The chamber was divided into upper and lower section so that water can be applied at different pressures from each section. Three chambers of similar design were tested to evaluate their performances according to various pressure levels. The strongest correlation was observed between the pressure difference(lower-upper) and the proportion of unseparated and completely-peeled garlic cloves. Hanji-type garlic required higher or pressure difference to separate cloves from garlic bulbs than nanji-type garlic. On the other hand, protective leaves(skin) from the cloves were peeled more easily in case of hanji-type garlic. As a result of three consecutive peeling operations, the proportion of completely-peeled garlic cloves changed in the order of 80.1, 82.6, 84.1% in case of hanji-type, and 19.6, 29.1, 40.2% in case of nanji-type garlic.

버려지는 마늘껍질의 자원으로써의 활용 가치를 확인하기 위해 마늘껍질 70% 에탄올 추출물(GPE)을 이용하여 인체에서 유래된 폐암 세포(A549), 위암 세포(AGS), 유방암 세포(MCF-7), 간암 세포(Hep3B) 및 대장암 세포(HT-29)의 생존율에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 폐암 세포(A549)의 경우 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 저 농도에서는 A549 세포의 생존율이 100%로 증식 억제 효과가 나타나지 않았으나 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 이상의 농도에서는 A549 세포의 생존율이 10% 이하로 떨어지면서 우수한 폐암 세포 증식 억제활성이 확인되었다. 위암 세포에 대한 조사에서는 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 55%의 생존율을 확인할 수 있었고, 최고 $2,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 71%의 위암 세포 증식 억제활성이 확인되었다. 유방암 세포(MCF-7)의 경우 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 저 농도에서 78%, $500{\mu}g/mL$ 이상의 농도 처리 결과에서는 모두 90% 전후의 유방암 세포 증식 억제활성이 확인되었다. 간암 세포의 경우 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 저 농도에서도 57%의 억제 활성이 확인되어, GPE의 매우 우수한 간암 세포 증식 억제 활성이 확인되었고, 처리되는 GPE의 농도가 증가함에 따라 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도까지 농도 의존적으로 간암 세포에 대한 증식 억제 활성은 증가되어 간암 세포의 생존율이 13%까지 저하되었다. 대장암 세포(HT-29)의 경우 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 저 농도 처리에서 15%, $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도 처리에서 85%, $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 고농도 처리에서 93%의 간암세포 증식 억제율이 확인되었으며, 농도 의존적으로 간암 세포에 대한 생장 억제 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 마늘껍질 70% 에탄올 추출물 GPE는 조사된 제일 낮은 농도($100{\mu}g/mL$)에서도 간암 세포의 증식을 57% 억제하는 우수한 활성이 확인되었고, $200{\mu}g/mL$의 저 농도 범위에서는 유방암과 간암 세포의 증식을 72-78% 억제하는 높은 활성이 확인되었으며, $500{\mu}g/mL$ 이상의 농도에서는 위암 세포를 제외한 조사된 4종류의 암세포(폐암, 유방암, 간암 및 대장암 세포)의 증식을 85-90% 억제하는 우수한 활성이 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 마늘 가공 과정에서 쓰레기로 버려지고 있는 마늘껍질은 70% 에탄올 추출을 통해 유방암(MCF-7), 폐암(A549), 위암(AGS), 유방암(MCF-7) 및 간암(Hep3B) 세포의 성장을 억제하는 활성 물질로서의 재활용 가치가 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
