Higenamine is a cardiotonic constituent of Aconite root, one of the most important oriental traditional medicine. Since Aconite root contains toxic aconitine alkaloids, variously processed roots have been often used. Much works have been done with the chemical significances concerning with the toxic aconitine alkaloids during the processing periods. However, effects of processing on higenamine have not yet been previously studied. In this paper, the extract pattern and the amounts of higenamine extracted with water from unprocessed and processed Aconite roots were compared. R-(+)-isomer was the only higenamine enantiomer detected although racemic higenamine was reported to be separated from Aconitum spp. Sonication for 1 hour resulted in higher higenamine extraction $(12.3\;{\mu}g/g)$ than boiling water extraction for 3 hours $(6.7\;{\mu}g/g)$ of unprocessed Aconite root. Extraction of not only higenamine but also most of the other components of unprocessed Aconite roots were reduced with boiling in water. Similarly, reduced extraction was observed with extracts of all three processed Aconite roots (Kyung-Po-Aconite root, Dang-Po-Aconite root and Huk-Peon-Aconite root) by either sonicated extraction or boiling water extraction.

Enterobacter sakazakii, designated as an unique microbial species in 1980, may cause bacteremia, necrotizing enterocolitis and infant meningitis. The distribution and the thermostability of E. sakazakii in unprocessed ready-to-eat (RTE) agricultural products of 252 and in 25 powdered infant formulas (PIF) were analyzed. Eighty one, 50, 43, and 47% of brown rice, pumpkin, potato, and carrot samples, respectively, had aerobic plate counts (ARC) in the range of 5 log CFU/g or more. Almost all the other products sampled had APC of approximately 2 log CFU/g. Fifty three, 75, 67, and 68% of banana, pumpkin, soybean, and carrot had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 3 log CFU/g. Sixty six percent of the brown rice tested had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 5-6 log CFU/g. E. sakazakii was isolated from 3/25(12%), 4/23(17%), 1/24(4%), and 1/27(4%) of PIF, brown rice, laver, and tomato samples, respectively. D-values were 3.52-4.79 min at 60 and $D_{60}-values$ were similar as the isolates reported. Thermal inactivation of four thermovariant E. sakazakii strains during the rehydration of PIF with hot water were investigated. At $50^{\circ}C$, the levels of E. sakazakii decreased one log CFU/g for 4-6 min and thereafter the levels remained stable for 20 min. At $60^{\circ}C$, inactivation by about 2 log CFU/g occurred for 20 min. Therefore, the unprocessed agricultural products might be a source of contamination for PIF when used as an ingredient after drying and pulverization. Rehydration of PIF for infant feeding with a water temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ rather than $50^{\circ}C$, as recommended by the manufacturers, may be helpful in the reduction of potential E. sakazakii risk.

Advanced glycation end products(AGEs) are largly involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. It is obvious that inhibition of AGEs formation is important in preventing the occurrence and progression of diabetic complications. Therefore, to seek possible AGEs inhibitors in herbal medicines, unprocessed - und processed Puerariae Radix were tested. The inhibitory effect on AGEs formation was slightly increased through processing. Unprocessed-, processed Puerariae Radix and puerarin showed potential inhibitory action than that of positive control, amino guanidine HCI.

Advanced glycation end products(AGEs) are largly involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. It is obvious that inhibition of AGEs formation is important in preventing the occurrence and progression of diabetic nephropathy. In diabetes, this reaction is greatly accerated and is important in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, especially diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, to seek possible AGEs inhibitors in herbal medicines, unprocessed - and processed Magnolia Bark were examined in vitro as basic data for aniaml experiment. The content of magnolol in unprocessed Magnolia Bark was $0.796{\pm}0.072%$, and after processing was decreased to $0.586{\pm}0.101%(p<0.01)$. The content of AGEs was measured by their intrinsic fluorescence. The $IC_{50}({\mu}g/ml)$ values of aminoguanidine, unprocessed- and procesled Magnolia Bark are $38.845{\pm}8.36{\mu}g/ml$, $54.264{\pm}3.153{\mu}g/ml$ and $27.882{\pm}1.836{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. This result means that prcessed Magnolia Bark was more effective than aminoguanidine, as positive control.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of partial substitution of an extruded or extruded-pelleted corn product for unprocessed corn of the starter diet on growth performance and incidence of diarrhea in weanling pigs. Seventy-two 21-day-old weanling pigs were allotted to 24 pens and provided ad libitum with one of the four experimental diets for 3 wk in two serial feeding trials during summer beginning from late June. The treatments were a milk product-soy-corn-based control diet containing 25% unprocessed corn and the other three diets only substituted with 12.5% extruded corn Suprex$^{(R)}$, Optigrain$^{(R)}$, an extruded mixture of wheat, rye and durum, or extruded-pelleted corn for an equal percentage of unprocessed corn of the control diet. All diets were supplemented with 100 ppm sulfathiazone, 50 ppm penicillin, and 100 ppm chlortetracycline for preventive medication. The initial and final weights as well as gain : feed were less in the second trial than in the first one (P<0.05). However, effects of the dietary treatments were not detected in any of the performance variables including final weight, ADG, ADFI, and gain : feed, nor were there any interactions between the trial and dietary treatment. In addition, almost all pigs exhibited normal firm feces in both trials and therefore there was no main effect in the fecal consistency score. Results suggest that partial substitution of the thermally processed corn for unprocessed corn of the milk product-corn-soy-based and medicated starter diet has no effect on growth performance or incidence of diarrhea in weanling pigs.

In order to characterize the chemical change, of the constituents and pharmacological transformation of Glycyrrhizae Radix(GR) which may occur during its processing, processed GR has been investigated in comparison with unprocessed GR. It was found that glycyrrhizin(GL) and other several constituents contained in GR were remarkably changed by processing, and the decrease of contents of GL was identified by making use of thin layer chromatography-chromatoscanner. And also, it was found that glycyrrhetic acid (GA) was identified from processed GR. We recognized that commonly processed GR showed less hemolytic effect than unprocessed GR and processed GR at $190{\circ}c$. It was also found that commonly processed GR showed more effective analgesic effect and prolonged the duration of hypnosis induced by pentobarbital-Na in mice as compared with corresponding unprocessed GR and processed GR at $190{\circ}c$. And then, commonly processed GR significantly suppressed the increases of s-GOT, s-GPT and s-LDH activities in injured mice induced by $CCl_4$.

최근 건강식품의 선호에 따라 비가열 신선 식품과 최소가공 식품의 소비가 증가하면서 식품소재의 미생물오염은 식품 위생상 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국인이 일상에서 많이 섭취하고 있는 곡물류. 구근류, 야채류, 해조류 등에서 미생물 오염을 분석하였다. 수도권 지역에서 유통되는 농수산물중 쌀(27개), 현미(25개), 당근(44개), 고구마(32개), 상추(37개), 깻잎(37개), 양배추(40개), 김(33개), 다시마(25개), 미역(27개)등의 327 시료를 분석하였다. 시료를 수집후 흐르는 물에서 4분간 세척후에 미생물 오염을 분석하였다. 일반세균수는 2-6 log CFU/g로 분포되어 있었으며 시료에 따른 변화가 있었다. 특히 상추와 깻잎이 약 6.0 log CFU/g로 가장 높았으며, 미역이 약 2.0 log CFU/g로 가장 낮은 오염도를 보였다. 대장균군은 1-5 log CFU/g로 분포하고 있었으며 시료마다 변화가 있었는데, 상추와 당근이 약 4.0 log CFU/g으로 높은 오염도를 나타냈다. E. Coli는 총 327시료중 7건이 고구마, 깻잎, 쌀, 상추, 양배추에서 검출되었으며 S. aureus는 거의 검출되지 않았다. Cl. perfringens는 총 시료중 미역, 김, 상추, 고구마등에서 6건이 검출되었다. 그러나 B. cereus는 현미, 당근, 고구마, 상추, 깻잎시료에 30% 이상 오염되어 있으며 현미, 고구마, 상추, 깻잎, 양배추에서는 2.0 log CFU/g이상 검출된 시료도 있었다. 따라서 충분히 열처리하지 않고 섭취하는 식품소재에 대한 B. cereus를 제거하는 전처리가 필요함을 알 수가 있었다.

산림생태계 내의 총일차생산량은 산림 자원 생산량과 직결되고, 산림생태계의 건강성, 산림식물계절 및 생태계 서비스의 중요한 지표가 된다. 이 연구에서는 인공위성 자료와 기계학습 알고리즘을 활용하여 우리 나라의 산림유역의 총일차생산량을 연구하였다. 에디공분산 타워가 있는 6개 지점에서의 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 산출물과 에디공분산타워의 총일차생산성으로 연구기간의 75%-80%에 해당하는 자료로 기계학습 알고리즘을 훈련하고 나머지 기간으로 구축된 모델의 총일차생산성 예측 결과를 검증하였다. 모델을 구축할 때 MODIS 지상 산출물과 대기 산출물을 조합하여 새로운 입력자료(e.g., 포화수증기압차)를 모델의 입력자료(Processed MODIS)로 사용하였을 때와 이러한 과정 없이 QC(Quality control)만 거친 MODIS 산출물을 그대로 입력자료(Unprocessed MODIS)로 사용하였을 때의 총일차생산량을 비교해 보고 그 활용 가능성에 대해 고찰하였다. 추가로 MODIS 총일차생산량 산출물(MYD17)과 에디공분산 총일차생산성 및 기계학습 알고리즘 기반의 총일차생산성과의 상관관계를 보고 그 적합성에 대해 논의하였다. 이 연구에서 사용된 기계학습 알고리즘은 Support Vector Machine (SVM)으로 산림생태계 연구에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 기계학습 알고리즘 중 하나이다. 기계학습 알고리즘 기반(SVM 모델)의 총일차생산량 예측 결과는 MODIS 총일차생산량 산출물(MYD17)보다 에디공분산 총일차생산량과 전반적으로 높은 상관관계를 보였고 특히 식생 성장을 시작하는 시점의 값을 좀더잘 예측하는 결과를 보였다. 단일 지역에서 Unprocessed MODIS 입력자료로 훈련된 SVM 모델 결과는 피어슨 상관계수 0.75 - 0.95 (p < 0.001), 6개의 연구 지점에서 훈련된 SVM 모델 결과는 피어슨 상관계수 0.77 - 0.94 (p < 0.001) 사이를 보였다. 이 결과는 훈련 자료에 다양한 이벤트들이 포함되면 모델의 예측력이 향상되는 가능성을 보여주었고 위성영상의 산출물을 재계산하여 새로운 산출물을 내는 과정을 거친 위성 자료가 아니어도 그 예측력에는 크게 문제가 없음을 보여주었다.

Some preservatives are naturally contained in raw food materials, while in some cases may have been introduced in food by careless handling or fermentation. However, it is difficult to distinguish between intentionally added preservatives and the preservatives naturally produced in food. The objective of this study was to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of propionic acid, sorbic acid, and benzoic acid for inhibiting food spoilage microorganisms in animal products, which can be useful in determining if the preservatives are natural or not. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the MIC of preservatives for 57 microorganisms. Five bacteria that were the most sensitive to propionic acid, benzoic acid, and sorbic acid were inoculated in unprocessed and processed animal products. A hundred microliters of the preservatives were then spiked in samples. After storage, the cells were counted to determine the MIC of the preservatives. The MIC of the preservatives in animal products ranged from 100 to 1,500 ppm for propionic acid, from 100 to >1,500 ppm for benzoic acid, and from 100 to >1,200 ppm for sorbic acid. Thus, if the concentrations of preservatives are below the MIC, the preservatives may not be added intentionally. Therefore, the MIC result will be useful in determining if preservatives are added intentionally in food.

According to the image level definition for KOMPSAT-2 in KOMPSAT-2 Ground Station Specification, the level 0 is frame formatted, unprocessed data at full resolution; any and all communications artifacts (e.g., synchronization frames, communications headers) removed. The level 0 is used for two purposes: 1) exchange of imagery between image receiving & processing element (IRPE), and 2) image transfer from the Receiving & Archiving Subsystem to Search & Processing Subsystem. On-board processing of imagery data of KOMPSAT-2 includes JPEG-like compression and encryption besides conventional CCSDS packetization. The encryption is used to secure imagery data from any intervention during downlink and compression allows real-time downlink of image data reducing data rate produced from the camera. While developing ground receiving system for KOMPSAT-2, it was necessarily to define level 0 products. In this paper, we will suggest level 0 product definition for KOMPSAT-2 and explain reasons of the decisions made. The key factor used while defining the level 0 products is the efficiency of whole ground receiving system. The latter half of the paper will explain the implementation of software that generates level 0 products. The necessary steps to produce level 0 products will be explained, and the performance achieved will be presented.
