  • 1995년 역사적 첫 배너광고 판매 거래 이후 전자상거래는 명실공히 새로운 유통채널로 자리매김 하였다. 20년 이상의 역사 속에 소비자의 자연스러운 소비 습관이 되어 경험 부족은 더 이상 전자상거래의 발전을 늦추는 이유가 될 수 없게 되었고, 그 규모를 계속 확장하며 이제 기존 유통채널을 위협하는 존재로 성장하였다. 하지만 이러한 전자상거래 시장의 지속적인 성장에도 불구하고, 자산 특유성이 높거나 설명 복잡성이 높은 상품의 경우, 소비자가 상품의 품질을 검증하는 것이 제한적일 수밖에 없는 전자상거래의 한계로 인해, 온라인 시장으로의 진출 및 확장은 힘들 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 특히, 이러한 조건 하에서 기존 사용자에 따라 품질의 차이가 많이 나고 설명 난이도가 높은 중고품의 온라인 거래 활성화는 거의 불가능한 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 중고품의 경우 상품에 대한 많은 정보를 가진 판매자 대비 정보를 많이 가지지 못한 구매희망자 간 정보 비대칭성으로 더욱더 시장의 성립이 힘들 수 있다는 것이 또한 온라인 중고거래에 대해 부정적인 시선을 갖게 하는 이유이다. 하지만, 본 논문에서 이와 같은 한계를 인공지능(AI)에 기반한 동적 가격 분석과 예측을 통해 문제 가능성을 최대한 낮춤으로써 극복하고, 품질 평가 표준화를 통하여 전자상거래 최고 거래 난이도의 중고 의류소매업에 전례 없이 성공한 thredUP의 사례분석을 통해 전자상거래, 특히 온라인 중고거래의 향후 발전 방향과 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Objective: This study aimed to develop loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) and compare it with LAMP-AGE, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and standard Salmonella culture as reference methods for detecting Salmonella contamination in animal products and animal production environmental samples. Methods: The SalInvA01 primer, derived from the InvA gene and designed as a new probe for LFD detection, was used in developing this study. Adjusting for optimal conditions by temperature, time, and reagent concentration includes evaluating the specificity and limit of detection. The sampling of 120 animal product samples and 350 animal production environmental samples was determined by LAMP-LFD, comparing LAMP-AGE, PCR, and the culture method. Results: Salmonella was amplified using optimal conditions for the LAMP reaction and a DNA probe for LFD at 63℃ for 60 minutes. The specificity test revealed no cross-reactivity with other microorganisms. The limit of detection of LAMP-LFD in pure culture was 3×102 CFU/mL (6 CFU/reaction) and 9.01 pg/μL in genomic DNA. The limit of detection of the LAMP-LFD using artificially inoculated in minced chicken samples with 5 hours of pre-enrichment was 3.4×104 CFU/mL (680 CFU/reaction). For 120 animal product samples, Salmonella was detected by the culture method, LAMP-LFD, LAMP-AGE, and PCR in 10/120 (8.3%). In three hundred fifty animal production environmental samples, Salmonella was detected in 91/350 (26%) by the culture method, equivalent to the detection rates of LAMP-LFD and LAMP-AGE, while PCR achieved 86/350 (24.6%). When comparing sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and accuracy, LAMP-LFD showed the best results at 100%, 95.7%, 86.3%, and 96.6%, respectively. For Kappa index of LAMP-LFD, indicated nearly perfect agreement with culture method. Conclusion: The LAMP-LFD Salmonella detection, which used InvA gene, was highly specific, sensitive, and convenient for identifying Salmonella. Furthermore, this method could be used for Salmonella monitoring and primary screening in animal products and animal production environmental samples.

  • Purpose: Some probiotic strains reduce the duration of acute diarrhea. Because of strain and product specificity, each product needs to be supported by clinical data. This study aimed to test the efficacy of the synbiotic food supplement Probiotical (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis, fructo-oligosaccharides) in children with acute gastroenteritis of likely infectious origin. The primary endpoint was the number of children with normal stool consistency during the treatment duration. Methods: A total of 46 children (aged 3.6 months to 12 years) with acute gastroenteritis that started less than 48 hours prior to their visit at a hospital-based emergency department were included in this prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. All children were treated with oral rehydration solution and placebo (n=20) or the test product (n=26). Results: Significantly more children had a normal stool consistency on days 1 and 2 in the probiotic group: 5 children (20%) on day 1 in the probiotic group compared with none in the placebo group (p=0.046). On day 2, 11 children in the probiotic group (46%) and 3 (16%) in the placebo group (p=0.024) had a normal stool consistency. The mean duration of diarrhea was shorter in the probiotic group compared with that in the placebo group (3.04±1.36 vs. 4.20±1.34 days) (p=0.018). Conclusion: The test product was shown to normalize stool consistency significantly more rapidly than the placebo. These data confirm the findings from a previous study in a larger group of children performed in a primary healthcare setting.

  • This study reveals that the user industry has a limited role as a source of technological capability in the case of the machine tools in Korea where the user industry is relatively mope advanced than other capital goods industry. The study examined the sources of technological capability in terms of migration of workforce and flow of product design information. Although the capital goods sector is generally regarded as being the sector where the user producer interaction is important the user industry failed to be the seed-bed of technological capability to develop machines. This study argues that this finding could have implications to the specificity of capital goods in a developing country.

  • 효소는 생물이 만드는 단백질로서 화학반응을 촉진시키는 촉매이다. 현재까지 알려진 효소의 종류는 약 3,000종이 되며 그 숫자는 해마다 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이 가운데 산업적 응용 가능효소는 150여종이며 상업적으로 생산되고 있는 효소는 60여종이 된다. 효소의 산업적인 이용은 1894년 소화제인 takaamylase가 Aspergillus oryzae의 배양에 의하여 생산된 이래 $\alpha$-amylase와 동물에서 pancreatin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, 사람의 소변에서 urokinase와 식물체에서 protease등이 공업적으로 생산되고 있다. 효소는 화학촉매보다 많은 장점을 가지고 있는데 온건한 반응조건에서 촉매력과 기질특이성(specificity)이 높고 부산물(by-product)이 적다. 그러나 효소의 폭넓은 산업적인 이용은 아직 많이 제한되어 있는데 대체적으로 열, 화학물질, protease, 반응환경등에 의해 쉽게 불활성화되기 때문이다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울여 왔고 산업적인 필요성에 부응하여 1993년말 이래 미국, New Zealand, Ireland 등지에서 별도의 학술적인 모임이 열렸다. 본 고에서는 현재 식품산업에서 사용되고 있는 효소와 그의 특성, 효소 개발기술 및 국내외 효소시장 현황을 중심으로 개술하고자 한다.

  • A new approach for similarity analysis of chemical profiles of Scrophularia buergeriana was developed. The roots of S. buergeriana collected in Andong, Korea were analyzed using HPLC-DAD and the peak areas of the chromatograms were used to construct the chemical profiles of S. buergeriana. The analytical conditions were validated for specificity, precision and repeatability. The standard chemical profiles were established from the chromatograms of nine standard analytical extracts from three batches. The correlation coefficients of peak areas of characteristic compounds between the chromatograms of the standard and test samples were calculated for quantitative expression of the chemical profiles. The results showed that the HPLC chemical profiles of the samples of same geographic origin were relatively consistent. This new approach could be applied to the quality assessment of herbal medicines with complex chemical compositions.

  • The stabilization of Aspergillus sp. $\alpha$-amylase was attained by modification with periodate-oxidized sol-uble starch. The pH stability of modified enzyme was increased at pH 3~4 and 9~11 in the presence of $\alpha$-cyclodextrin($\alpha$-CD) compared with that of native enzyme. Thermal stability of the modified enzyme was increased. After treatment at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min the activity remained 20% for the enzyme modified at pH 9.7 in the presence of $\alpha$-CD and tested in the presence of $\alpha$-CD 10% for the enzyme modified at pH 9.7 in the presence of $\alpha$-CD 0% for the native enzyme. The native enzyme and modified enzyme showed one peak in HPLC. The substrate specificity of the modified enzyme was not changed in HPLC analysis of reaction product.

  • Washed mycelia of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC159 were incubated in CMC minimal liquid medium and the culture filtrate which contained induced extracellular cellulase was fractionated by a three-step procedure including chromatography on Bio-Gel P-150, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and chromatography on Sephadex G-100. Three CMCase components ; F-I-Ia, F-I-Ib and F-II-Ia were prepared. No enzyme activity toward avicel could be detected in these components. Similarly, there was no ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activity. pH-optima of the three components were all 5.0 in acetate buffer. Temperature-optima for the activities of F-I-Ia, F-Ib and F-II-Ia were $45^{\circ}C,\;40^{\circ}C\;and\;50^{\circ}C$, respectively. F-II-Ia was shown to be more thermostable than the other two components. F-II-Ia was proved to have quite a different substrate specificity and action property and action property from those of F-I-Ia and F-I-Ib by product analysis on liquid chromatography.

  • Mbu-3 is a novel mouse brain unigene that was identified by digital differential display. In this study, expression of the gene was chased through developmental stages and the protein product was identified in the brain. The cDNA sequence was 3,995-bp long and contained an ORF of 745 AA. Database searches revealed that the chicken SST273 gene containing LRR- and Ig-domain was an mbu-3 orthologue. Tissue specificity for the gene was examined in embryos and in brains at post-natal and adult stages. During the embryonic stages, mbu-3 was localized to the central nervous system in the brain and spinal cord. In the early post-natal stages, the gene was evenly expressed in the brain. However, with aging, expression was confined to specific regions, particularly the hippocampus. The protein was approximately 95 kDa as determined by Western blot analysis of brain extracts.

  • A simple method was developed to determine residual p-arsanilic acid (ASA), an organo-arsenic compound used as a feed additive, in aquatic products (eel, halibut, and shrimp) using EDTA-assisted solvent extraction and LC-MRM. The method was successfully validated in terms of specificity, linearity (coefficient of determination ≥ 0.995), accuracy (recovery or R, 72.72-78.73%), precision (the relative standard deviation of R, 2.08-6.98%), and sensitivity (the lower limit of quantitation, 5 ppb) according to CODEX guidelines (CAC-GL 71-2009). The use of EDTA in the extraction solvent and water with a suitable pH modifier as the reconstitution solvent may be the key factors for successful results. This is the first method that can be used for monitoring residual ASA in aquatic products using LC-MRM and could contribute to establishing a better aquatic product safety management system.
