This study investigated the microbial safeties and germination rates of five domestic sprout species(alfalfa, broccoli, clover, red cabbage, and red radish) grown from disinfected seeds. The 48 h germination rates of all seeds were over 90%, regardless of treatment. Seed total plate count(TPC) and coliform levels were reduced significantly(p<0.05) by treatment with 20,000 ppm calcium hypochlorite solution at $25^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, following FDA recommendations. However, after germination, all sprouts regardless of treatment exhibited bacterial counts of $10^7-10^8CFU/g$. Listeria monocytogenes was detected at $10^3-10^4CFU/g$ on germinated non-disinfected clover seeds at days 1, 2, and 5. In conclusion, although sprout germination from disinfected seeds potentially permits the growth of sprouts with lower pathogen counts, there were no significant differences in TPC or coliform levels between sprouts grown from disinfected seeds and control sprouts. Further work is needed to improve the microbial safety of cultivated sprouts and to find optimal conditions for seed germination.

In our study, as many as 29 edible medicinal herbs were selected for testing their ability in the effective treatment of gout based on oriental medicine theory. We extracted each medicinal herb (135 g) with 4 L of distilled water at $100{\sim}105^{\circ}C$ for 210 min. Thereafter, we evaluated both the antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibition activities of the extracts obtained. Among all the edible medicinal herbs used in our study, only the extract from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Korean name: hwang-geum) showed (1) the maximum total phenolic content (TPC) (2.25 mg gallic acid equivalent/mL), (2) DPPH radical scavenging activity (94.04%), and (3) xanthine oxidase inhibition activity (87.75%). We also observed that TPC was relatively highly correlated with both the DPPH radical scavenging activity (r=0.63) and xanthine oxidase inhibition activity (r=0.77). Our results suggest that S. baicalensis G. may be a potent antioxidant source for the extraction and development of nutraceuticals that may be utilized for effective treatment of gout.

This study was intended to suggest HACCP-based standard recipe for bellflower roots, classified as no thermal cooking process, served in a university foodservice operation. The time-temperature and microbial contamination level in each cooking step were analyzed. The temperatures of bellflower root, peeled garlic and green onion at receiving were at 13.8$\pm$2.8, 12.6$\pm$2.9 and 13.7$\pm$$0.8^\circC$ respectively, which were above the temperature limit. The time consumed for pre-preparation was up to 90 min at room temperature having high microbial growth potential. The levels of total plate counts (TPC) of bellflower root and garlic were over the limit of $10^6$ CFU/g as were the numbers of coliforms in bellflower roots. There were no microbial reductions in pre-preparation and cooking, which resulted in over $10^5$- $10^6$ CFU/g of TPC at service step. Two CCPs identified were washing/sanitation at pre-preparation and service steps. The control measures were washing/sanitation and temperature control. It was verified that CCPs for no cooking process developed in preceding studies were applicable for the microbiological food safety of this menu item. The HACCP-based standard recipe was developed to produce a quantity for 100 servings by observing the critical limits established for CCPs. These results suggest that the selection of proper provider is imperative to control the microbial contamination of raw materials at purchasing step. Also, the sanitary education program should be developed for the employees to understand and comply the HACCP plan and standard recipe.

Background: Cynara scolymus has bioactive constituents and has been used for therapeutic actions. The present study was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms underlying pain-relieving effects of the hydroethanolic extract of C. scolymus (HECS). Methods: The antinociceptive activity of HECS was assessed through formalin and acetic acid-induced writhing tests at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg intraperitoneally. Additionally, naloxone (non-selective opioid receptors antagonist, 2 mg/kg), atropine (non-selective muscarinic receptors antagonist, 1 mg/kg), chlorpheniramine (histamine H₁-receptor antagonist, 20 mg/kg), cimetidine (histamine H₂-receptor antagonist, 12.5 mg/kg), flumazenil (GABA_A/BDZ receptor antagonist, 5 mg/kg) and cyproheptadine (serotonin receptor antagonist, 4 mg/kg) were used to determine the systems implicated in HECS-induced analgesia. Impact of HECS on locomotor activity was executed by open-field test. Determination of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) was done. Evaluation of antioxidant activity was conducted employing 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay. Results: HECS (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) significantly indicated dose dependent antinociceptive activity against pain-related behavior induced by formalin and acetic acid (P < 0.001). Pretreatment with naloxone, atropine and flumazenil significantly reversed HECS-induced analgesia. Antinociceptive effect of HECS remained unaffected by chlorpheniramine, cimetidine and cyproheptadine. Locomotor activity was not affected by HECS. TPC and TFC of HECS were 59.49 ± 5.57 mgGAE/g dry extract and 93.39 ± 17.16 mgRE/g dry extract, respectively. DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀) of HECS was 161.32 ± 0.03 ㎍/mL. Conclusions: HECS possesses antinociceptive activity which is mediated via opioidergic, cholinergic and GABAergic pathways.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of pH, drip loss, total plate counts(TPC) and 5. coli for exportation pork during storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ far 554days. 25 pigs were slaughtered at commercial slaughtering house and 6 portions such as loin, tenderloin, boston butt, knuckle, inner ham and outer ham were separated for each carcass after 24hrs and then storage at 0$\pm$1$\^{C}$ after vacuum packaged. pH were significantly decreased as the storage time increased for all portions. Drip loss of Boston butt was significantly lower than that of the other portions(p<0.05), whereas inner ham had the highest drip loss(p<0.05). TPC and 5. coli were significantly higher than that of the other treatments in Tenderloin and Boston butt(P<0.05).

This study was carried out to determine the optimum extraction conditions for Ishige okamurai by comparing the yields, total phenolic compound content (TPC), and antioxidant properties of its 95%, 70%, 50% fermented ethyl alcohol and water extracts. Additionally, the effects of heat and pH treatments on the antioxidant properties of the extracts were evaluated by their TPC and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging capabilities. The yields of the extracts were greatest in the order of water > 50% > 70% > 95% fermented ethyl alcohol, and the TPC of the 70% (26.18%) and 50% fermented ethyl alcohol (27.56%) extracts were higher than those of the others. However, in terms of DPPH radical scavenging and ferrous-reducing power, the 70% fermented ethyl alcohol extract of Ishige okamurai showed the highest antioxidant effects. Additionally, in the results for the heat and pH treatments, the antioxidant properties of the 70% fermented ethyl alcohol extract were not influenced by the treatment conditions except at pH 10.

Log-Structured File system은 쓰기에 최적화한 파일 시스템으로 변경된 데이터를 최대한 모아서 순차적으로 기록하는 방식을 가지고 있다. 그러나 실제 시스템에서는 주기적인 동기화로 인해 작은 크기의 데이터들이 디스크로 쓰여지게 되면서 원래의 디자인 목표를 살리지 못하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 최근 급속도로 발전하고 있는 비휘발성 메모리(NVRAM)를 이용해서 주기적인 동기화를 없애고 작은 단위의 쓰기는 NVRAM을 통해 흡수하도록 하였다. 이를 통하여 DRAM만 있는 LFS에 비해 33% 가량 TPC-C 수행 성능이 향상되고, 더 빠르고 고른 응답 시간을 보일 수 있었다.

As the dependency to network system and demands of efficient storage systems rapidly grows in every networking filed, the current trends initiated by explosive networked data grow due to the wide-spread of internet multimedia data and internet requires a paradigm shift from computing-centric to data-centric in storage systems. Furthermore, the new environment of file systems such as SAN(Storage Area Network) is adopted to the existing storage paradigm for providing high availability and efficient data access. We describe the design issues and system components of $SANique^{TM}$, which is the cluster file system based on SAN environment. We, especially, present the comparative results of performance analysis for the intensive I/O test by using the DBMSs that are operated at the top of cluster file system $SANique^{TM}$, EXT3 and NFS respectively.
