  • Surgery remains the preferred treatment for hydatid cyst (cystic echinococcosis, CE). Various scolicidal agents have been used for inactivation of protoscolices during surgery, but most of them are associated with adverse side effects. The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro scolicidal effect of Nigella sativa (Ranunculaceae) essential oil and also its active principle, thymoquinone, against protoscolices of hydatid cysts. Protoscolices were aseptically aspirated from sheep livers having hydatid cysts. Various concentrations of the essential oil (0.01-10 mg/ml) and thymoquinone (0.125-1.0 mg/ml) were used for 5 to 60 min. Viability of protoscolices was confirmed by 0.1% eosin staining. Furthermore, the components of the N. sativa essential oil were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). Our study revealed that the essential oil of N. sativa at the concentration of 10 mg/ml and its main component, thymoquinone, at the concentration of 1 mg/ml had potent scolicidal activities against protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus after 10 min exposure. Moreover, thymoquinone (42.4%), p-cymene (14.1%), carvacrol (10.3%), and longifolene (6.1%) were found to be the major components of N. sativa essential oil by GC/MS analysis. The results of this study indicated the potential of N. sativa as a natural source for production of a new scolicidal agent for use in hydatid cyst surgery. However, further studies will be needed to confirm these results by checking the essential oil and its active component in in vivo models.

  • 박하를 대상으로 재배조건 및 수확시기에 빠른 방향 성분의 함량변화를 조사한 결과 박하의 생육은 비닐보온시험구에서 초기에 왕성한 생육을 보였지만, 수확기가 가까와 짐에 따라 다른 시험구와 유사하게 성장하였으며, 강유량과 일조시간에 따라 줄기와 잎의 성장속도에서 매우 많은 차이를 보였다. 수확시기에 따른 조성분의 변화는 l-menthone의 l-menthol로의 환원과정이 일조시간의 차이에 따라 그 진행속도가 빨라졌으며, 수확말기에 가서는 특히 menthofuran의 함량이 급속히 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 따라서 전체적으로 정유 조성분의 비율이 가장 양호한 시험구는 7월 5일과 7월 7일 수확분으로서, 이 시기가 수확 적기임을 알 수 있었고 정유의 우율도 이 시기에 가장 높게 확인되었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 돈분을 이용한 열분해공정(pyrolysis)에 의한 바이오오일의 특성을 분석하여 보고하였다. 기본적으로 bio-oil 생산을 위한 pilot auger형 반응기는 $400^{\circ}C{\sim}600^{\circ}C$의 고온을 유지하였다. 바이오오일의 특성은 수질분석, 열량가, 원소분석, GC/MS를 이용한 마이오일의 원소, $^1H$ NMR분광기에 의한 functional group 구명 등을 포함한다. 돈분시료를 이용한 바이오오일 생산량은 pilot auger 반응기의 온도가 $550^{\circ}C$일 때 바이오일 생산율은 질량의 21%로서 최대를 나타내었다. 이 결과는 본 연구에서 연속 auger형 반응기의 이송이 편리하고 bio-oil 생산량이 적지 않아 대체 축분처리기술의 하나로 검토할 수 있음을 보였다. 그러나 auger 반응기의 원료로의 열전도가 유동상 반응조보다 낮아서 향후 이를 개선하기 위한 연구가 성공적으로 수행되면 바이오오일 생산량을 제고시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • A soil metagenome contains the genomes of all microbes included in a soil sample, including those that cannot be cultured. In this study, soil metagenome libraries were searched for microbial genes exhibiting lipolytic activity and those involved in potential lipid metabolism that could yield valuable products in microorganisms. One of the subclones derived from the original fosmid clone, pELP120, was selected for further analysis. A subclone spanning a 3.3 kb DNA fragment was found to encode for lipase/esterase and contained an additional partial open reading frame encoding a wax ester synthase (WES) motif. Consequently, both pELP120 and the full length of the gene potentially encoding WES were sequenced. To determine if the wes gene encoded a functioning WES protein that produced wax esters, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy was conducted using ethyl acetate extract from an Escherichia coli strain that expressed the wes gene and was grown with hexadecanol. The ethyl acetate extract from this E. coli strain did indeed produce wax ester compounds of various carbon-chain lengths. DNA sequence analysis of the full-length gene revealed that the gene cluster may be derived from a member of Proteobacteria, whereas the clone does not contain any clear phylogenetic markers. These results suggest that the wes gene discovered in this study encodes a functional protein in E. coli and produces wax esters through a heterologous expression system.

  • 배 농축액의 유가식 배양을 통해 영양원 없이 산도 12% 이상의 고산도 식초를 제조하면서 발효단계(Stage 1-4) 및 초기 알코올농도(6-9%)에 따른 품질특성 변화를 확인하였다. 환원당, 유리아미노산, 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량 및 라디칼 소거능은 1차 초산발효한 일반산도 식초에 비해 2차 초산발효한 고산도 식초에서 증가하였고, 이는 유가식으로 첨가된 feeding 알코올의 영향으로 사료되었다. SPME/GC-MS 분석을 통한 20여종의 휘발성분은 식초의 산도에 따라 함량의 차이를 나타내었고, 초기 알코올농도의 증가에 따라 자극적인 향의 acid류 함량이 다소 증가하였다. 이상의 결과, 초기알코올 농도 6-7% 조건에서 유가식 배양으로 제조된 고산도 배식초는 일반산도 식초에 비해 우수한 품질을 나타내었고, 이에 관능특성 및 대규모 생산에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.

  • Cometabolism technology was employed to degrade lignin wastewater in Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor. Cometabolic system (with glucose and lignin in inflow) and the control group (only lignin in inflow) were established to do a comparative study. In contrast with the control group, the average removal rates of lignin increased by 14.7% and total oarganic carbon increased by 32% in the cometabolic system with glucose as growth substrate, under the condition of 5 mg/L DO, $0.2kgCOD/(m^3{\cdot}d)$ lignin and glucose $1.0kgCOD/(m^3{\cdot}d)$. Functional groups of lignin are degraded effectively in cometabolic system proved by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer, and the degradation products were amides (mainly including acetamide, N-ethylacetamide and N, N-diethylacetamide), alcohols (mainly including glycerol and ethylene glycol) and acids. Meanwhile, results of Polymerase Chain Reaction-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis showed great differences in microbial population richness between cometabolic system and the control group. The Margalef's richness index and Shannon-Wiener's diversity index of microorganism in cometabolic system were 3.075 and 2.61, respectively. The results showed that extra addition of glucose, with a concentration of 943 mg/L, was beneficial to lignin biodegradation in cometabolic system.

  • PET기재 필름 위에 코팅된 다층박막 필름의 층별성분을 ATR FT-IR과 Pyro GC/MS(Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 분석을 시도하였다. 필름의 단면은 액체질소에 담근 후 파괴시켜 얻었으며 광학 현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 이 결과 코팅층의 총 두께는 $70{\mu}m$였으며 3개의 층으로 관찰되었다. 각 층의 두께는 너무 얇기 때문에 표면층을 제외하고는 직접분석이 어려워 적절한 용매로서 각 층을 드러나게 한 후 ATR FT-IR과 pyro-GC/MS를 이용하여 분석을 시도하였다. 이 결과 3개 층은 공통적으로 우레탄-아크릴레이트 공중합체로 밝혀졌다. 또한 무기 혹은 금속성분의 첨가여부는 XPS와 SEM-EDAX를 이용하여 분석하였으며 도장층 (1)에는 나노크기의 실리카 입자가 도장층 (2)에서는 알루미늄 박편이 존재함을 알게 되었다.

  • This study was conducted to examine the components of phytoncide from a pine forest in the southern temperate zone. Recent studies have found that a large amount of phytoncide is released not only from cypress trees but also from pine trees. Because the amount released is the highest during summer, we selected a warm climate region in the southern temperate zone and measured the concentration in the month of August. To capture the phytoncide from the forest atmosphere, we used the adsorption tube method with a mini pump and successfully gathered 9 L of forest air at a flow rate of 150 mL/min. We performed duplicate sampling from two different tubes installed at the same location and derived the mean value. A gas chromatography/mass spectrometer detector with thermal desorption spectroscopy was utilized to perform quantitative and qualitative analyses of the captured material. The results showed that the average phytoncide particle of the pine forest in the southern temperate zone contained a number of components as follows in descending order: ${\alpha}$-Pinene (39%, $0.28ng/m^3$), followed by ${\beta}$-Pinene (16%, $0.11ng/m^3$), D-Limonene (8%, $0.06ng/m^3$), camphor (6%, $0.04ng/m^3$), camphene (6%, $0.04ng/m^3$), and p-Cymene (5%, $0.04ng/m^3$). There were also 13 additional phytoncide components in trace amounts. The results of this study are expected to provide a useful dataset for building a "Healing-forest".

  • Morels (Morchella spp.) are valuable medicinal and edible mushrooms. In this study, chemical profiles of aromas and lipophilic extracts of black morel (Morchella importuna) grown in China were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy, along with the evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities for the lipophilic extracts. Sixty-five compounds in total were identified from the aromas, and 1-octen-3-ol was the main component for aromas of fresh (34.40%) and freeze-dried (68.61%) black morels, while the most abundant compound for the aroma of the oven-dried sample was 2(5H)-furanone (13.95%). From the lipophilic extracts, 29 compounds were identified with linoleic acid as the main compound for fresh (77.37%) and freeze-dried (56.46%) black morels and steroids (92.41%) as the main constituent for an oven-dried sample. All three lipophilic extracts showed moderate antioxidant activities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) with the IC50 values ranging 7.56~17.52 mg/mL and 5.75~9.73 mg/mL, respectively, and no obvious antimicrobial activity was observed for lipophilic extracts. The drying methods affect the chemical profile of black morel, and freeze-drying was favorable for retaining nutrients and morel smell. This is the first report on the aroma and lipophilic extracts of M. importuna grown in China.

  • 본 연구는 초임계 이산화탄소 추출법과 증류법에 의해 얻어진 편백 정유의 수율과 화학적 조성의 변화를 비교분석 하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소 추출은 $40^{\circ}C$, 100~400 bar의 압력범위에서 수행하였다. 편백 정유의 성분 분석은 GC-MS를 이용하여 수행하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소 추출 시 300 bar 압력에서 4.4%의 최대수율을 얻었으며 이는 증류법에 의해 얻어진 1.9% 수율에 비해 높았다. 초임계 이산화탄소 추출에 의해 얻어진 추출물은 증류법에 의한 정유에 비해 sesquiterpene류의 함량이 높았다. Sesquiterpene류는 초임계 이산화탄소 추출물의 약 39%~46%를 구성하고 있으며 monoterpenes, diterpene, lignan순으로 함유되어 있다. 추출압력에 따라 각 성분의 함유율은 차이를 보였다. 따라서 초임계 이산화탄소 추출조건은 편백 정유의 수율과 함유성분에 중요한 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다.
