This study was initiated to investigate the effects of lyophilized purslane (Portulaca oleracea) powder (5% and 10%) on lipid levels in rats fed a hypercholesterolemia-inducing diet (1% cholesterol). During the four week study, there were no significant differences in either weight change or the food efficiency ratio between the group fed the hypercholesterol diet alone (HC) and the groups fed the purslane powder (HCPO-I and HCPO-II, 5% and 10% purslane, respectively). In serum, the levels of total lipid, total cholesterol and LDL-C decreased significantly for the group fed the 10% purslane powder (HCPO-II) in comparison with the group fed the 5% purslane powder (HCPO-I). The atherogenic index (AI) was reduced by about 51% for the group fed the 10% purslane powder (1.47) in comparison with the HC group (3.03). The activities of GOT, GPT, ALP and LDH decreased significantly for the groups fed the purslane powder in comparison with the HC group. Regarding liver tissue, the levels of total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased significantly for the purslane powder-fed rats compared to the HC group. The fecal lipid profiles increased significantly as the amount of purslane powder was increased. Compared to the HC group, the fecal total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were higher in the group fed the 10% purslane powder by about 2.8 times and 2.3 times, respectively. For the serum and liver tissue, the content of lipid peroxide decreased significantly in the groups fed purslane powder compared to the HC group. The data from this experiment show an increase in the lipid levels discharged in feces, suggesting that the supplementation of purslane powder to a hypercholesterolemia-inducing diet reduces lipid levels.

Physiochemical properties, such as yield and molecular weight distribution of polysaccharide fractions, of polysaccharides in the enzymatic hydrolysates of purslane were investigated and characterized. A higher amount of micro nutrients, such as potassium (9,413 mg/100 g), phosphorus acid (539 mg/100 g), leucine, alanine, lysine, valine, glycine, and isoleucine, was present in whole purslane. The yield of water soluble polysaccharides (WSP) was 0.29, 7.01, and 7.94% when extracted using room temperature water (RTW), hot-water (HW), and hot temperature/high pressure-water (HTPW), respectively, indicating that HW or HTPW extraction may be effective to obtain WSP from purslane. The average ratio of L-arabinose:D-galactose in the WSP was 37:49, 34:37, and 27:29, when extracted using RTW, HW, and HTPW, respectively. These results indicate that water was a suitable extraction solvent for preparation of the arabinogalactan component of whole purslane. A higher yield and total carbohydrate content was obtained by using Viscozyme L instead of Pectinex 5XL during extraction of the WSP, which indicates that enzymatic treatment of purslane may be an effective method to control the Mw of polysaccharides. Finally, it was confirmed that Viscozyme L is a suitable enzyme for the hydrolysis and separation of polysaccharides obtained from purslane.

쇠비름 추출물의 농도가 1%정도부터 Escherichia coli KCTC 2441의 성장 억제 효과가 나타났으며 7%일 때 균의 성장이 급속도로 억제되었다. 즉 쇠비름 추출물이 Escherichia coli KCTC 2441에 대하여 항균작용을 나타내고 있음이 증명되었다. 6월에 양지 바른 곳에서 자란 쇠비름이 대장균 성장 억제 효과가 높았으며 잎보다는 줄기 부분이 잎 중에서도 적자주색을 띠는 잎이 대장균 성장 억제 효과가 높았다.

본 연구는 수확 후 버려지는 양파 잔재물과 쇠비름으로부터 추출한 수액을 유기농 양파 재배 시 시비하여 유기농 양파의 수확량, 품질 등에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 도복기 때의 양파 생육은 초장, 엽수, 엽초경에서 식물추출액 처리구들이 무처리구보다 좋았다. 양파 수확량도 식물 추출액 처리구들이 무처리구보다 유의성 있게 증가되었으며(p<0.05), 구 중 분포에서는 상품성이 있는 300 g 이상의 대구 양파가 양파와 쇠비름 추출액 혼용 처리구에서 다른 처리구들보다 유의성 있게 증가 되었다(p<0.05). 양파의 무기성분 함량은 양파와 쇠비름 추출액 혼용 처리구에서 생산된 양파가 다른 처리구들에서 생산된 양파보다 석회와 황을 제외한 다량원소들이 높게 함유되었다. 양파의 경도는 양파와 쇠비름 추출액 혼용 처리구에서 생산된 양파가 양파 잔재물 추출액 처리구와 무처리구에서 생산된 양파보다 각각 8%와 20% 높게 나와 유의성을 나타내었지만(p<0.05), 당도는 모든 처리구에서 생산된 양파가 비슷하게 나와 유의성을 나타내지 않았다. 양파 수확 후 토양의 무기성분 함량은 양파 잔재물 추출액 처리구 토양에서 인산, 칼슘, 황산, 망간에서 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 양파 수확 후 버려지는 잔재물과 길가에 방치되는 쇠비름의 추출물이 유기 양파 재배 시 천연 친환경 자재로 활용 가치가 있다고 보겠다.

A study has been conducted to investigate the radioprotective effects of purslane extracts (P) when i.p. injected before irradiation (R). For studying the amino acid composition, three groups of ICR mice (7-week-old) were tested. The first group i.p. injected with purslane extract for 5 days were irradiated with 6 Gy of ${\gamma}$-radiation (P+R). The second group was irradiate with 6 Gy without any pretreatment (R). The third group was non-irradiated control (CT). Each group divided into two groups for the survival rate study, one injected with saline (S) and the other injected with purslane extract (P) for five days and then irradiated with 8 Gy. The amino acid composition of urine samples were analyzed with HPLC for 19 days after irradiation. A few kinds of amino acids such as lysine and methionine in urine from P+R group increased in comparison with those from CT or R group. The survival rate of P group maintained much higher than that of S group during experimental period. The results obtained may support that this plant has radioprotective substances by means of life-lengthening, not of urine amino acid components.

본 연구에서는 신생아 질환과 사망 원인 중 첫 번째에 해당하는 설사의 주된 원인균인 Campylbactor jejuni에 대한 쇠비름 발효액의 항균 효과를 검증해 보고자 하였다. 민간요법과 한방에서 널리 이용되어온 쇠비름은 각종 항균 효과나 항염증, 항암 효과 등이 있는 것으로 알려져 있는 식용 식물로, 여기에서 식물성 유산균을 분리해 각종 프로바이오틱스와 더불어 쇠비름 발효액을 제조하였다. Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. delbrueckii, L. plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides 및 Bifidobacterium longum과 쇠비름에서 분리한 균을 쇠비름 추출물에 적용하였을 때, Leuconostoc mesenteroides와 쇠비름에서 분리한 식물성 유래 유산균이 쇠비름 추출액에서 가장 잘 자랐고, 여기에 2% yeast extract, 1% peptone 및 0.05~1% 인산을 첨가하였을 때 가장 적합한 발효액을 만들 수 있었다. 쇠비름 발효액에 들어있는 생균수는 발효 48시간 후 $1{\times}10^{12}\;CFU/m{\ell}$로 증가하였고, 2주간 냉장 보관을 한 이후에도 생균수가 $1.3{\times}10^{10}\;CFU/m{\ell}$로 남아있었다. 쇠비름 발효액의 pH와 산도는 발효 48시간 이후 3.7과 3.14로 각각 나타나 일반 유제품 발효액의 기준 범위 안에 들어감을 알 수 있었다. PLAB과 Leuconostoc mesenteroides로 만든 쇠비름 발효액은 10 $mg/m{\ell}$ 이상의 농도에서 C. jejuni에 대해 증식 억제효과를 나타냈으며, 이 억제 효과는 48시간 동안 지속되었다.

Weed identification is important for precision farming. A machine vision system was applied to detect weeds. Shape features were analyzed with the binary images obtained from color images of radish, purslane, goosefoot, and crabgrass. Features studied were aspect, roundness, compactness, elongation, PTB, LTP, LTW, and PTAL of each plant. Discriminant analysis was used to classify plant species. The best shape features that distinguished crabgrass were LTP and LTW which distinguished the crabgrass from the others with 100%. Two dimensional discrimination by using LTP and PTB appeared to be effective for distinguishing radish, purslane, and goosefoot.

The frequency of obesity has risen dramatically in recent years but only few safe and effective drugs are currently available. In addition, obesity can induce type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease. Recently, protective effect of purslane extract (PE) on obesity has been reported, but little is known about the role and mechanism of PE in obesity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PE on obesity and diabetes in obese mice. In addition, the effect of PE was compared with anti-obesity and diabetes drugs. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice were treated for 8 weeks with drugs as follows: PE, orlistat, metformin, voglibose or pioglitazone. While PE mixed with normal diet did not have any effects on BW in non-obese mice, PE mixed with HFD significantly reduced BW gain, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, without affecting food intake and appetite in obese mice. The effect was comparable to the effects of anti-obesity and diabetes drugs. Furthermore, PE significantly increased the activity of hepatocellular anti-oxidant enzymes, leading to protection of liver from oxidative stress in obese mice. These results suggest that PE treatment may be a useful tool for preventing obesity and complication of obesity.
