  • This study was conducted to investigate the properties of wet noodle when different concentrations of Prunus mume juice were added to the wheat flour. The characteristics of wet noodle including cooking properties, color, mechanical texture properties, and sensory quality were determined. The compositions of Prunus mume were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The pH of Prunus mume was 2.76. The moisture absorption rate, weight, volume and turbidity of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were lower than reference sample. When the amount of Prunus mume juice increased, the Hunter L(brightness) value, a(redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b(yellowness) value increased. Instrumental rheological characteristics of wet noodle containing Prunus mume juice were measured with a texture analyzer. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of wet noodle with 20% Prunus mume juice were higher than others. However, the hardness of cooked noodle decreased with the increase in the amount of Prunus mume juice into noodle. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were higher than reference sample. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing Prunus mume juice indicated that the appearance, color, taste and chewiness of the cooked noodle with 10% Prunus mume juice showed the higher preference than others. Based on cooking properties, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 10% Prunus mume juice suggested to be acceptable for processing wet noodle.

  • The present study was conducted to examine the effect of prunus mume extract on the Kimchi fermentation. The physicochemical and microbiological properties of Kimchi with the addition of various levels(0, 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5%)of prunus mume extract was measured up to 30 days at $4^{\circ}C$. pH was decreased sharply in control after 2 days . A typical decreasing pattern in pH values was noted in all treatments during the initial 18 days of fermentation followed by a gradual decrease afterwards. Total acidity was decreased by the addition of prunus mume extract. Reducing sugar content was reduced to approximately 70% by day 10-12 in prunus mume extract treatments. Total vitamin C content was reached to maximum on 6 days of fermentation and then decreased in all treatments. Reducing sugar and total vitamin C contents were slightly increased by the addition of prunus mume. Total viable cell number increased to reach peak on day 8 and then slowly decreased during the fermentation. Lactobacillus cell number in control treatment continued to increase to reach peak on day 12, while the numbers in prunus mume treatments reached peak on day 8-12 and then gradually decreased throughout the fermentation. The results of this study indicate that prunus mume extract causes to delay the Kimchi fermentation by slowing down pH drop and inhibiting the Lactobacillus cell growth.

  • Lichen is a symbiotic association which lichen-forming fungi associate with green algae or cyanobacteria capable of producing food by photosynthesis. Lichen is one of the most widely distributed eukaryotic organisms on every kind of surface of soils, rocks and trees. Lichen-forming fungi commonly colonize on the surface of barks of dead or dying trees, which they use merely as a means of support without parasitizing. Lichen consortium of Parmotrema autrosinense and several crustose lichens heavily colonized on the surface of P. mume in Suncheon, Jeonnam province in Korea. The lichen consortium on the surface of P. mume gave the affected trees a dull gray appearance and suppressed their normal growths. Severely affected twigs or branches resulted in the death when the lichen thalli were not rubbed off the barks of P. mume. Twigs or branches of P. mume were recovered from blight syndrome when the lichen thalli were rubbed off, The recovered twigs or branches became healthy and clean when $Tween^{(R)}$ 20 or thiophanate-methyl paste were treated on the barks of P. mume. This is the first report of lichen diseases on P. mume caused by colonization of consortium of several crustose lichens including P. autrosinense.

  • Brown rot symptoms severely occurred on fruits of apricot and mume grown in Changnyeong, Suwon and Yeongi in Korea during a disease survey in June 2002. A total of 32 isolates of Phomopsis sp. was obtained from the fruit rot symptoms. All isolates were identified as Phomopsis vexans based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Four isolates of the fungus were tested for pathogenicity to fruits of apricot and mume by artificial inoculation. All isolates induced brown rot symptoms on the fruits of apricot and mume by wound inoculation. Unwounded inoculation also induced symptoms on mume fruits but not on apricot fruits. The symptoms on the fruits induced by artificial inoculation were similar to those observed in the orchard. The pathogenicity tests revealed that mume was more susceptible to the pathogen than apricot. This is the first report of brown rot of apricot and mume caused by P. vexans.

  • In this study, we attempted to optimize the fermentation processes in the production of lactic acid juice with 20% Maesil(Prunus mume) extract using Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from Kimchi, assessing a variety of pH, temperature, sugar compositions, and sugar concentrations. In the preparation of fermented Maesil(Prunus mume) extract, the optimal pH and fermentation temperature were 4.0 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. When the effects of various sugar sources and concentrations on lactic acid fermentation were assessed, 15% fructose was shown to yield more acid productivity than was observed with other sugar sources. The optimum composition, on the basis of our sensory evaluations, was determined to be a fructose concentration of 15% and a fermentation time of $72{\sim}96$ hours.

  • Prunus mume has been traditionally used as a medicinal food in Korea, Japan, and China. In particular, this fruit has been reported to have beneficial biological effects on gastritis and gastric ulcers. However, its action in relation to skin whitening has remained unclear. Accordingly, the effects of fruit extract of P. mume related to antioxidation and skin whitening were examined in this study. First, using the MTT assay, it was observed that fruit extract of P. mume below 0.1% has no cytotoxicity in B16-F1 cells as a result of cell viability. Second, the direct scavenging effects and the reducing power of the fruit extract of P. mume were evaluated in vitro on DPPH radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide. It exhibited high reducing power and scavenging activity on the aforementioned reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, we found that its protective effect against genomic DNA damage related to oxidative stress was increased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the fruit extract of P. mume had an inhibitory effect on melanin production induced by L-dopa. In addition, it reduced the expression level of NRF-2, SOD-1, and SOD-2 related to antioxidation in western blot analysis. These results suggest that fruit extract of P. mume could exert a whitening effect through inhibition of melanin production by its antioxidant effect.

  • Insecticidal activities of methanol extracts of the different parts of Prunus mume were investigated against the larvae of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (C. medinalis) by topical application. The mortalities of the larvae of C. medinalis were 34% at the concentration of 4,000 ppm, 36% of 8,000 ppm, 40% of 16,000 ppm and 58% of 32,000 ppm of the extracts from the fruits, and 38% of 4,000 ppm, 45% of 8,000 ppm, 58% of 16,000 ppm and 75% of 32,000 ppm from the stem + flower of Prunus mume (P. mume), respectively. The rates of pupation of C. medinalis treated with either fruit or stem+flower were gradually low according to the concentration of extracts increased. The weight of pupae of C. medinalis has no significantly different in between the control and the treated groups of the extracts from both of fruit and stem+flower. However, the differences of the pupal weight and the rate of pupation of C. medinalis treated with the extracts from the stem+flower and fruit of P. mume were significant as the level of 56% ($R^2$=0.56363, P=0.4364). Both of stem+flower and fruit extracts of P. mume showed good effects of anti-feeding against C. medinalis. The extracts of the stem+flower of P. mume could be advocated for developing as birational agent for the control of C. medinalis.

  • The various oriental herbal medicines, which have usually been used for treatment of reducing fever, purging intense heat and detoxication, were screened to determine the antibacterial activity and the minimal inhibitory concentration against antibiotics-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Among the 23 oriental medicines tested, the water-soluble extract of Coptis japonica showed very excellent antibacterial activity against antibiotics-sensitive and -resistant S. aureus. A little activity was found in the extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis, Eriobotrya japonica and Prunus mume against antibiotics-sensitive S. aureus and in that extracts of P. mume, Schizandra chinensis and S. baicalensis against antibiotics-resistant S. aureus. When C japonica was used, the high antibacterial activity was shown against Bacillus subtilis and other extracts showed a little or no antibacterial activity against B. subtilis and E. coli as a control. 2. The highest antibacterial activities against antibiotics-resistant S. aureus were found in the ethanol-soluble extract of C japonica. Other ethanol-soluble extracts of S, baicalensis, S. chinensis and P. mume showed a little activity against both antibiotics-sensitive and antibiotics-resistant S. aureus. 3. Among the medicinal herbs tested, the water- and ethanol extracts of C. japonica showed very excellent antibacterial activity against the pathogenic S. aureus and both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis used as a control. 4. When the water-soluble extracts of C. japonica and S. baicalensis, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against antibiotics-sensitive S. aureus were $20mg/m{\ell}\;and\;30mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. The MICs of the ethanol-soluble extracts of C. japonica and P. scabriosaefolia were $7.5mg/m{\ell}\;and\;12mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. 5. For the MICs against antibiotics-resistant S. aureus, the water-soluble extracts of C. japonica and P. mume showed $15mg/m{\ell}\;and\;10mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. The MICs of the ethanol-soluble extracts of C. japonica and P. mume were $13mg/m{\ell}\;and\;20mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. As a result, the highest antibacterial activity was found in both water- and ethanol-soluble extracts of C. japonica against antibiotics-resistant S. aureus. And the water- and ethanol-soluble extracts of S. baicalensis, S. chinensis and P. mume showed comparatively high antibacterial activities against both antibiotics-sensitive and -resistant S. aureus.

  • Various kinds of medicinal herbs and prescribed herb medicines which have usually been used for treatment of reducing fever, purging intense heat, and detoxication were secreened for antibacterial activity against Proteus vulgaris, S. aureus, and E. faecalis which causing puerperal infection. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of water and ethanol-soluble extracts of Hwangyon(C. japonica), Omae(P. mume), and Omiza(S. chinensis) were determined and using thin-layer chromatography the extracts of Hwangyon and Omiza were separated. The results obtained were as follow : 1. The water-soluble extracts of Keumeunhwa(L. japonica), Chiza(G. jasminoides), Hwangyon(C. japonica), Dansam(S. miltiorrhiza), Omae(P. mume) and Omiza(S. chinensis) showed antibacterial activities against P. vulgaris ; among them, the extracts of Hwangyon, Omae, and Omiza showed high antibacterial activities. The water-soluble extracts of Keumeunhwa(L. japonica), Hwangyon(C. japonica), Hwangkeum(S. baicalensis), Hwangbaek(P. amurense), Dansam(S. miltiorrhiza), Daehwang(R. coreanum), Omae(P. mume), Omiza(S. chinensis), Gingseng(P. ginseng), and Gamcho(G. uralensis) showed antibacterial activities against S. aureus : among them, the extracts of Hwangyon and Omiza showed high antibacterial activities. The water-soluble extracts of Banggi(C. trilobus), Daehwang(R. coreanum), Omae(P. mume), Omiza(S. chinensis), and Gamcho(G. uralensis) inhibited the cell growth of E. faecalis : among them, Omae and Omiza showed high antibacterial activities. The extract of Hwangyon(C. Japonica) and Omae(P. mume) showed no inhibition against E. coli. However, the extract of Omiza(S. chinensis) inhibited cell growth of both E. coli and B. subtilis. 2. The water- and ethanol-soluble extract of Hwangyon(C. Japonica) showed antibacterial activities against P. vulgaris and S. aureus, those of Omae(P. mume) against P. vulgaris and E. faecalis, and those of Omiza(S. chinensis) against all species tested, P. vulgaris, S. aureus, and E. faecalis. With the exception that ethanol-soluble extract of Hwangyon(C. japonica) showed much higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus than water-soluble one, antibacterial activities of both water-and ethanol-soluble ones were similar to each other of other two medicinal herbs. 3. When the prescribed herb medicines were tested, Sambohwan showed antibacterial activities against P. vulgaris and S. aureus. No prescribed herb medicine inhibitied the cell growth of E. faecalis. 4. Minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of both water- and ethanol-soluble extracts of Hwangyon(C. japonica), Omae(P. mume), and Omiza(S. chinensis) against P. vulgaris were $2.5mg/m{\ell}$, $10mm{\ell}$, and $20mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. Those of both Hwangyon(C. japonica) and Omiza(S. chinensis) against S. aureus were $1.25mg/m{\ell}$ and $10mg/m{\ell}$, respectively. MICs of water-soluble extracts of Omae(P. mume) and Omiza(S. chinensis) against E. faecalis were $2.5m{\ell}$ and $5m{\ell}$, and those of ethanol-soluble extracts were $5m{\ell}$ and $10m{\ell}$, respectively Except for those of E. faecalis the cell growth of P. vulgaris and S. aureus were inhibited by much lower concentration of ethanol-soluble extracts used. As a result, the antibacterial compounds against P. vulgaris S. aureus, and E. aecalis are contained in the extracts of Hwangyon(C. japonica), Omae(P. mume), Omiza(S. chinensis), the prescribed herb medicine, Sambohwan, and might be used for treatment of puerperal infection. Further study should be carried out to identify which compounds affect the cell growth inhibition of P. vulgaris S. aureus, and E. faecalis.
