  • Kefir is traditional fermented milk produced by various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast, which produce lactic acid, ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other flavor compounds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different commercial oligosaccharides, such as maltotriose, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), and isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO), on the fermentation properties of kefir. First, we determined the acidification kinetic parameters, such as $V_{max}$, $t_{max}$(h), $t_{pH5.0}$(h), and $t_f$(h) of fermented milk supplemented with 4% (w/w) of different oligosaccharides. The probiotic survival and chemical composition (pH, organic acids profile, and ethanol content) of kefir during fermentation were also measured. Compared to control fermentation, all oligosaccharides increased acidification rate and reduced the time to complete fermentation (pH 4.7). The addition of FOS, in particular, resulted in the lowest $t_f$(h) and the highest populations of LAB and yeast during fermentation. All oligosaccharides increased ethanol production during fermentation. Further, significant differences were observed in the formation rates of six organic acids during fermentation. This study provided comparative data on the properties of commercial oligosaccharides for kefir manufacturing. Consequently, FOS especially had the potential for adequate and effective oligosaccharides in commercial kefir for the improvement of cost- and time-effectiveness.

  • Rhodiola rosea, also known as gold root or rose root, is a perennial plant in the family of Crassulaceae. The rhizhome of R. rosea has been widely used as a hemostatic, tonic for burns and contusions in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent studies reported its strong antioxidant and adaptogenic properties. In this paper, we attempted to isolate compounds from the methanolic extract of R. rosea rhizomes. Four compounds including one new compound (1), two kaempferol glycosides (3 and 4) were isolated from chloroform and ethyl acetate soluble fraction of R. rosea extract. The structures of 1~4 including relative stereochemistry were determined by MS and NMR analysis.

  • The Government provides a financial assistance to stimulate firm R&D and innovation activities. Previous papers on the impact of public subsidies on firm R&D investments mainly had a focus on an individual policy tool regardless of potential impacts of other policy instruments. This study addresses this gap by examining the effects of policy mix regarding a subsidy and a tax credit. The empirical analyses from fixed effect model using Survey on Technology of SMEs 2015-2017 revealed valuable points. First, policy mix induces more R&D investment of SMEs, which in turn, shows a complementary relationship between two instruments. Second, even if impact of tax credit controlled, subsidy is positively associated with SMEs R&D investment. These findings justify policy mix interventions to promote SME R&D activity. Moreover, grants can be applied as a more useful policy tool for SMEs that are constrained by resources and capabilities.

  • In this year, Koreans have a shortage in agricultural and drinking water due to severe algal blooms generated in major lakes. Waste oyster shells were obtained from temporary storage near the workplace at which oysters were separated from their shells. Heating ($1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air) was employed to convert raw oyster shell powders into calcium oxide powders that reacted efficiently with phosphorus and nitrogen to remove algal blooms from eutrophicated wastewater. As the dispersed amount of heated oyster shell powders was increased, water clarity and visual light penetration were improved. Coagulation, precipitation and carbonation process of the heated oyster shell powders in a water purifier facilitated removal of eutrophication nutrient such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which is both beneficial and economically viable. $CO_2$ implantation by carbonation treatment not only produced thermodynamically stable CaO in oyster shells to derive precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) but also accelerated algal removal by activation of coagulation and precipitation process. The use of oyster shell powders led to a mean reduction of 97% in total phosphate (T-P), a mean reduction of 91% in total nitrogen (T-N) and a maximum reduction of 51% in chemical oxygen demand (COD), compared with the total pollutant load of raw algal solution. Remarkable water quality improvement of algal removal by heated oyster shell powders and PCC carbonation treatment will allow utilization as water resources to agricultural or industrial use.

  • 유채(Brassica napus L.)는 가을에 파종하여 이듬해에 초여름에 수확하는 겨울작물로 종실 수량이 많고 종자의 조지방 함량이 높아 주로 기름을 생산하기 위해서 재배되고 있다. 우리나라에서 유채는 경관을 목적으로 주로 재배되며 면적은 약 5,000ha 정도 재배되고 있다. 최근에는 유채유 생산을 목적으로 전남 등 남부지방에서 재배면적이 증가하고 있다. 유채유의 대량 생산을 위해서는 재배과정의 생력기계화에 유리한 논 재배가 주로 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 유채의 육종은 논 재배 적응성이 뛰어나며, 벼와의 작부가 가능하며 봄 파종 재배가 가능한 조숙품종의 육성이 필요하며, 식용유로 이용이 가능한 지방산 조성이 우수한 품종의 육성도 필요하다. 본 연구는 농촌진흥청 농업유전자원센터에서 보유하고 있는 유채 유전자원 350점을 대상으로 작물학적 생육특성을 평가하였고 종자를 수확한 후 지방산 조성을 분석하였다. 생육특성은 경장 등 12항목을 유채 유전자원 특성조사 및 관리요령(RDA, 2011)을 기준으로 조사하였다. 가을에 파종하여 재배할 때 개화소요일수는 파종 후 137일부터 210일까지 소요되었으며, 봄 파종 재배 시에는 파종 후 65일부터 150일까지 개화가 진행되었고 개화가 되지 않은 계통이 67계통이었다. 경장은 85 ~ 211cm, 수장은 28 ~ 79cm, 분지수는 5 ~ 21개, 수당 협수는 29 ~ 106개, 협당 종자수는 18 ~ 35개 및 협장은 2.7 ~ 8.8cm로 다양하였다. 유채 유전자원의 지방산 중 올레산과 에루스산 함량은 각각 9.7 ~ 70.4% 및 0 ~ 54.7% 범위였다. 공시계료 중 IT 279089 등 3자원은 개화기가 빨라 조생종 육성에, IT279125 등 3자원은 올레산 함량이 68%이상으로 양질 지방산 품종 육성재료로 활용할 예정이다.
