Japanese sumac (Rhus javanica) is one of the common herbaceous plants growing over the country. This study was conducted to investigate the extraction characteristics and physiological activities inluding nitrite scavenging ability of the water extracts from leaf, fruit and bark of Japanease sumac. Extraction yield was 6.62~13.84%, free amino acids were detected as 24 kinds with 37.9 mg/100g in leaf extract, 23 kinds with 27.0 mg/100g in fruit extract and 27 kinds with 39.0 mg/100g in bark extract, respectively, and seven kinds essential amino acids were detected. Total contents of flavonoids equivalent to naringin were 587.2 mg/100g in bark extract, 557.3 mg/100g in fruit extract and 379.9 mg/100g in leaf extract, respectively. Total contents of phenolics equivalent to gallic acid were 111.2 mg/100g in leaf extract, 108.4 mg/100g in fruit extract and 80.4 mg/100g in bark extract, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ability of extracts was order of 61.93% in bark extract>57.38% in fruit extract>55.49% in leaf extract, and was 78.1~100% of those of BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) equivalents at pH 1.2. The electron donating ability was order of 47.38% in fruit extract>43.06% in leaf extract>38.55% in bark extract, and was compared to 65.6%, 58.8% and 53.6% of those of BHT equivalents, respectively. The reduction power was evaluated to 37% higher in leaf extract, 43% higher in fruit extract and 46% higher in bark extract than those of BHT equivalents. The metal chelating ability of extracts was considerably low and was order of 27.3% in bark extract>20.6% in leaf extract>11.2% in fruit extract.

In this study, we analyzed the utensils, covers and mats that were used for making meju, the shape of meju, and the heating method used for making meju from the 225 ways of preparing jang mentioned in the 32 volumes of the ancient cook books from 530 AD to 1950. The heating method of traditional meju bean and starch included 57 kinds of steaming, 59 of boiling, 21 of roasting + boiling, and 2 of cooking. The shape of meju included 41 kinds of egg, 27 of ball, 22 of lump, a kind of doughnut, 8 kinds of hilt, 6 of flat, 4 of chip, and a kind of square. Among the 72 gochoojang meju, the heating method of bean included 9 kinds of boiling, and 6 kinds of steaming; whereas the heating method of starch included 19 kinds of steaming of dough, 11 of rice cooking, and 5 of boiling of dough. The utensils for molding of bean meju were 49 kinds of straw sack, 14 of round straw container, 11 of heating bed, 7 of large straw bowl or Japanese-snailseed, 5 of jar, 4 of ditch, 3 of straw bowls, 2 of pottery steamer of dough, 2 of gourd, and a kind of long round bamboo bowl and sack of straw. The cover and the mat used for molding of meju included 36 kinds of straw, 17 kinds of paper mulberry leaf, 15 of wide straw seat, 14 of mugwort, 11 of pine tree leaf, 10 of soybean leaf, 6 of cocklebur leaf, 6 of sumac leaf, 6 of barley straw, 6 of mulberry leaf, 5 of fallen leaf, 5 of cogon grass, 4 of reed seat, 3 of scrap of cloth, 2 of Indian bean tree leaf, a kind of reed. There were only 5 kinds of hanging.

An unknown planthopper was discovered in 2010 in an apple orchard in Sinpoong-myun, Gongju-si and in a blueberry orchard in Deogsan-myun, Yesan-gun. This pest have arrived 4 or 5 years ago and the population density then rapidly increased. It was identified as Ricania sp. by Dr. Murray J. Fletcher. Adult Ricania sp. was found on 26 plants including blueberry, grape, peach, sumac, japanese angelica, jujube, kiwi, Rubus coreanus, apple, apricot, plum and chestnut. Females lay eggs on 1-year-old branches. The mean number of eggs laid on apple and plum were 18.7 and 15.3, respectively. The mean length of egg masses on apple and plum were 12.35 and 11.45 mm, respectively. The distance between eggs laid on apple and plum branchs were 1.3 and 1.5 mm, respectively. The mean number of eggs in the same length of egg mass on apple and plum branchs were 17.1 and 13.3, respectively.
