Lac is the dermal secretion of lac insect, Kerria lacca Kerr., which is used to make expensive natural dye, burnish, coating materials, in cosmetics and jewelry industry. Though it is very perspective industry and available of host plants over the country especially in southern districts of Bangladesh, lac cultivation is confined within some northern districts of Bangladesh. Experiment was conducted to find out the possibility of lac cultivation in two southwestern districts of Bangladesh: Khulna and Satkhira compared to Chapainowabgonj, the key lac producing district in Bangladesh, during February-October, 2006. The bark thickness, bark weight of ber plant, ratio of harvested and inoculated lac sticks, harvested raw lac, and harvested processed lac were measured and compared. Statistically, similar performance of lac cultivation was found regarding all parameters in three districts. These results recommended that lac cultivation is possible at the south-western coastal part of Bangladesh.

The assortment of endophytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in kimchi derives from its raw vegetables, which include Chinese cabbage, radish, welsh onion, onion, garlic, red pepper, and ginger. These vegetables were examined during mulkimchi fermentation using gene-specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction and 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis. Sixteen species from five LAB genera (Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Pediococcus, and Weissella) appeared in the raw kimchi materials. Interestingly, nine LAB species were identified in mulkimchi on fermentation day 0 as follows: Leuconostoc carnosum, Leuconostoc citreum, Leuconostoc gelidum, Leuconostoc inhae, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactococcus lactis, and Weissella confusa. Seven additional LAB species were present in mulkimchi at fermentation day 9 as follows: Leuconostoc gasicomitatum, Leuconostoc kimchii, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus pentosus, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Weissella koreensis. These species corresponded completely with the LAB in kimchi vegetables. Wei. confusa was the predominant LAB during early fermentation (pH 6.20 to 4.98 and acidity 0.20 to 0.64%), while Lac. sakei, Lac. plantarum, and Wei. koreensis became dominant later in fermentation (pH 4.98 to 3.88 and acidity 0.64 to 1.26%). These results collectively demonstrate that the LAB involved in mulkimchi fermentation originates from the raw vegetables examined.

Adsorption process using granular activated carbon(GAC) has been considered as one of the most effective water treatment technologies to remove humic acid which is recon- niEed as trihalomethane(THM) precursor in chlorination. To design the most effective GAC process, it is necessary to conduct the test of adsor- ption performance by means of isothem, batch rate and column studies and to select the most effective activated carbon according to raw materials of GAC - lignite and coconut shell. The objective of this study is to investigate the adsorption performance of humid acid on two activated carbons - lignite activated carbon(LAC) and coconut shell activated car- bon(CAC) made in Korea. It is available to represent UV-abs and trihalomethane formation potential(THMFP) as concentration of humic acid due to good relationship. The adsorption capacity of humid acid is not concerned with surface area of activated carbon but with pore size related to about $100{\AA}$, and then LAC forming at the extent of mesopore is found to be eight times more effective in adsorption capacity than CAC forming at micropore. The adsorption capacity of LAC and CAC is better at pH 5.5 than at pH 7. Pore and surface diffusion coefficients calculated from the diffusion model are $7.61\times10^{-13}m^2/sec$, $3.52\times10^{-15}m^2/sec$ for CAC, and $3.38\times10^{-12}m^2$/sec and $Ds=1.48{\times}10^{-15}m^2/sec$ for GAC respectively. From the results of column test it shows that the performance of LAC is also better than CAC and the optimal EBCT(Empty Bed Contact Time) is 4.52min. and activated carbon removes selectively the components of humic acid to be easily formed to THM.

인삼과 유산균은 각각 면역 활성, 생리기능조절 등 생체 효용성을 인정받고 있는 가능성 식품소재이다. 따라서 유산균을 이용한 인삼 발효물은 두 소재의 장점을 모두 이용할 수 있는 가능성이 있으므로 본 연구는 여러 가지 유산균을 이용하여 인삼 발효물을 제조하고 생균수, pH 및 산도 등을 조사하여 인삼 발효물 제조에 적합한 최적의 유산균주를 선정하고 인삼의 발효공정을 확립하였다. 27종의 유산균 중 인삼농도가 증가할수록 생육이 촉진되는 유산균은 Lac.plantarum MG208, Lac.casei Mg311, Lac.rhamnosus, MG315, Lac.acidophilus MG501, Lac.acidophilus MG501C, Lac.reuteri MG505, Lac.fermentum MG590, Bif.longum MG723 등 8종이었다. 특히, Lac.plantarum MG208이 5% 홍삼배지에 배양했을 때 가장 생육이 촉진되는 균주였다. 발효 전 배지 pH를 6.8로 동일하게 보정하였을 때 최종 인삼발효물의 pH는 유의하게 낮아졌고($pH3.45{\sim}4.83$), 특히, 홍삼농도가 높을수록 pH는 더 낮았다($pH3.42{\sim}4.30$). 이와 유사하게 백삼 및 홍삼 발효제조물의 적정산도는 약 10배정도 증가했고, 적정산도 증가율이 가장 높은 균종은 Lac.plantarum MG208, Lac.acidophilus MG501, 및 Bif.longum MG723이었으며, 발효 후 적정산도는 백삼보다 홍삼을 첨가한 경우 좀 더 높았다. 이와같이 여러 가지 유산균주를 이용하여 인삼 발효물을 제조한 결과 생균수와 유산균 발효제품에 적용할 수 있는 pH 및 적정산도 유도면에서 발효인삼 제조에 가장 적합한 유산균주는 Lac.plantarum MG208이며 인삼첨가농도는 1-5%, 배양시간은 48시간이 적합한 것으로 생각된다. 인삼의 유산균 발효물의 생리활성 효능은 앞으로 추가연구를 통하여 검증되어야 하며 그 유용성에 대한 고찰 및 검토가 필요하다.

A tissue cultured wild ginseng (TCWG) suspension was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fermented to improve the functionality of TCWG. The utilization of TCWG was increased directly using the freeze-dried powder. The optimal ratio of TCWG powder and water for fermentation was 1:19 (5%), which was selected by measuring the fluidity and viable cell count according to concentration. The effects on ADH activation and immune cell activation by each ferments with 10 kinds of Lactobacillus sp. strains were examined. The ferments with the Lactobacillus casei KFRI 692 strain showed 5.4 times higher ADH activity and 1.3 times higher ALDH activity than the non-fermented TCWG powder (control). The level of NO production and cytotoxicity was also measured by Raw 264.7 cells. The ferment with the Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain showed the highest level of NO production and lower cytotoxicity than the others. Therefore, the Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain was selected as a strain for fermentation of a TCWG suspension to maximize its functionality. To identify the optimal fermentation time of the selected Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain on the 5% TCWG suspension, the viable cell count of lactic acid bacterial and the changes in pH were observed for 72 hours. 24-hrs was found to be the optimal fermentation time. In this way, fermented TCWG with lactic acid bacteria showed higher ADH activation efficacy and immune cell activation than non-fermented TCWG.

The effects of various carbon sources on mycelial growth and polysaccharide synthesis of the medicinal fungus Inonotus obliquus in liquid fermentation were investigated. After 12-d fermentation, mycelial biomass, polysaccharide yield, and polysaccharide content were significantly higher in Glc+Lac group (glucose and lactose used as combined carbon source) than in other groups. Crude polysaccharides (CIOPs) and the derivative neutral polysaccharides (NIOPs) were obtained from mycelia fermented using Glc, fructose (Fru), Lac, or Glc+Lac as carbon source. Molecular weights of four NIOPs (termed as NIOPG, NIOPF, NIOPL, and NIOPGL) were respectively 780.90, 1105.00, 25.32, and 10.28 kDa. Monosaccharide composition analyses revealed that NIOPs were composed of Glc, Man, and Gal at different molar ratios. The NIOPs were classified as α-type heteropolysaccharides with 1→2, 1→3, 1→4, 1→6 linkages in differing proportions. In in vitro cell proliferation assays, viability of RAW264.7 macrophages was more strongly enhanced by NIOPL or NIOPGL than by NIOPG or NIOPF, and proliferation of HeLa or S180 tumor cells was more strongly inhibited by NIOPG or NIOPGL than by NIOPF or NIOPL, indicating that immune-enhancing and anti-tumor activities of NIOPs were substantially affected by carbon source. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that expression levels of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and UDP-Glc 4-epimerase (UGE), two key genes involved in polysaccharide synthesis, varied depending on carbon source. Our findings, taken together, clearly demonstrate that carbon source plays an essential role in determining structure and activities of I. obliquus polysaccharides by regulating expression of key genes in polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the prechlorination on algal removal by application of a varying amount of different coagulants, such as LAC, PAC, PACS following the process of coagulation and sedimentation of algae in the Nakdong River. The samples used as a source for the raw water of the Nakdong River were collected from the D Water Purification Plant in Taegu city. With the application of the process of prechlorination, the removal rate of the algae was increased from 10~25% for Synedra spp., 20~35% for diatoms and 4~17% for turbidity. Generally, the removal rate of the algae was increased with the increase of the concentration of the coagulants. The PAC and PACS showed 5% higher removal rate for turbidity as compared to the LAS. On the hand, LAS showed 12% higher removal rate for Synedra spp. as compared to the PAC and PACS. The variations in the removal rate of diatoms with the change of coagulant were not significant. In conclusion, the application of LAS, polymeric coagulant and chlorination for at least 20 minutes could be considered as a reliable treatment process for the removal of source water containing a variety of algae.

부재료를 달리하여 제조한 김치의 발효속도특성 및 미생물학적 발효양상을 조사하였다. 발효 진행에 따라 김치 시료들의 pH는 감소하고 총산도는 증가하였고, 산화환원전위는 감소되다가 다시 증가하는 현상을 보였고 발효 최적기에 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 전 발효 기간 동안 생강, 고추가루 및 혼합시료에서 총생균수와 젖산균수가 많았으며, Leu. mensenteroides의 수는 생강과 고추가루 시료에 많았다. 김치의 적숙기에 젖산균 및 Leu. mensenteroides의 수가 최대이었고 Leu. mensenteroides가 감소하는 시기에 Lac. plantarum이 생기기 시작하였다. 이러한 발효속도 및 미생물 특성의 경시적 변화가 마늘 시료에서는 느리게 적생고추 시료에서는 빠르게 진행되었다. 따라서, 마늘은 젖산균 발효를 비교적 낮은 수준으로 오래 지속되게 하여 김치의 가식일수를 늘이는 저장성 향상에 필요한 부재료이고, 생강과 고추가루는 젖산균과 그 중 Leu. mensenteroides의 생육을 촉진하여김치 맛을 좋게하는데 도움이 되는 부재료라고 생각된다. 그리고, 산화환원전위가 김치의 발효 최적기를 찾는데 유용한 지표가 됨을 알 수 있었다.
