  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics and detergency of natural surfactants for the cleaning of excavated fabrics. For this purpose, SDS, a synthetic surfactant, was selected as the control, and five types of natural surfactants, namely, LES, apple wash, tea saponin, cornacopa, and coco betaine were selected. The structures of the surfactants were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy analysis, and the characteristics of the surfactants were determined by measuring the pH and surface tension. In addition, detergency testing was carried out on four artificially soiled fabrics and fragments of excavated fabrics. From the results, apple wash, tea saponin, and cornacopa were found to be as good as SDS in terms of detergency in the cleaning of artificially soiled fabrics, and the detergency of tea saponin and coco betaine was found to be good for cleaning excavated fabrics. Therefore, considering the safety and detergency of detergents, among natural surfactants, tea saponin is found to be most suitable for the cleaning of excavated fabrics.

  • The fact that a reaction between organothioenamine phosphonate and styrene oxide produces a derivative of cyclopropane has been proved by structural identification. This suggests that an anionic oxygen atom from the ring opening of the styrene oxide by nucleophilic attack of thioenamine phosphonate links to the phosphorous atom to from a betaine as an intermediate which is followed by cleavage of the weak P-C bond. The dextrorotatory optical activity of the product showed that the reaction was under the control of steric stability of the benzyl carbon in styrene which leads to the product through a sterically stable pathway.

  • Seasonal variation of the taste components such as free amino acids, nucleotides, quarternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds in warty sea squirt(S. clava) were determined bimonthly from April to October for its food quality contributed in Korean seafood dishes. Fifty to sixty two percentage of the extractable nitrogen was free amino acids, and mainely it composed of taurine, proline, glutamic acid, glycine and glycinebetaine. Among the various taste component, betaine's level was somewhat higher(11~15%) and nucleotides related compounds also followed(5~8%). Most of nitrogenous compounds in the extractives reached to a maximum value in June and AMP content was relatively higher than the other nucleotides. The major organic acids were composed of succinic acid, malic acid, lactic acid and pyroglutaric acid in S. clava. The result of omission test suggested that the taste of S. clava is mainly attributed to free amino acids, betaines, nucleotides and non-volatile organic acid in order.

  • Source : We can use a Lycium chinense Miller and a Lycium barbarum L. at the same time. but they only autorize Lycium barbarum L. as a source of Gouqizi. Culture : We have to culture at the central district and southward has a long term of blooming, bearing fruits and maturing in fertile soil, well drainage sandy soil. A cuttage has a advantage at producing number. and prowing and weeding has to be executed 2-3 times in a year. We fertillze 3 times a year, give a water not to be dry and have to be good at managementing drainage. Harvest : Generally it is best to be a harvested Gouqizi at summer. Process : Points of process is to protect a laceration which is made by a high heat, change color to black, well done dry the rind offruits has no a stiffness and the flesh of fruits has to be soft and freshred color. Quility : It is good that big and red fruits, thick fleshes of fruits, few seeds, soft and moist, sweet not bitter taste. A content of betain is more than 0.5%. And it must be content of ash is less than 6.0%. Contents of heavy metals has to detect less than 30 ppm and there are no reminding agriculural medinces.

  • This study was peformed to investigate the effects of Lycii fructus extracts on the growth and physiology of S. cerevisae D7l, L. casei KCTC 3165, and E. coli DH5. When Lycii fructus was added into solid culture media, the growth of S. cerevisea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 was increased, whereas that of E. coli DH5 was somewhat decreased. The growth of S. cerevisiea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 were much promoted in the culture media including methanol extract of 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively. E. coli DH5 was changed its morphology not only in 10% Lycii fructus juice but also 1.0% methanol and chloroform extract of Lycii fructus. Its size in those growth condition was eight times longer than that of the normal E. coli DH5. It was elucidated that elongation phenomenan of E. coli DH5 was also appeared by adding 0.135% of Na$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, and the mixture of Na$^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.TEX> +/.

  • Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is very difficult to obtain stable production of qualified ginseng roots because of variable stresses in soil environments. In transformation of ginseng with betain aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, compounds synthesized for controlling osmotic pressure such as proline, glycine, betaine, polyols and sugar were accumulated in cell for salt resistance in transgenic plants. 2 Agrobactgerium conjugants were acquired with bet A and bet B genes for solt resistant plants. A. tumefaciens MP90/pBetA and A. tumefaciens MP90/pBetB were recombined for increasing the tolerance to salt stress. To confirm the transformation of the binary vector, tobacco plant was transformed, and the transformant can grow on media containing high concentration of kanamycin. To identify NPT 11, BetA and BetB genes of the transformants, the band on the agarose was confirmed by PCR and RT-PCR techniques. The transformants of ginseng with bet A and bet B genes were acquired on the phytohormone free basic MS media containing only antibiotics and 1M mannitol used for selection of transgenic plant, but the transfomation efficiency for BetA and BetB was very low.

  • Betaine functions as an osmoregulators in the cells and its inclusion in diet can spare the choline and carcass fat reduction in chicken. Thus, two hundred eighty eight laying hens were fed with 0, 500, 1,000, 2,000 ppm of betaine from seventy eight to eighty six weeks of age during the environmentally high temperature stress. Com and soybean basal diets contained 2,800 kcal/kg ME and 16% CP. Egg production, feed intake, and feed conversion were examined for eight weeks. Egg quality characters, serum cholesterol, liver betaine, and lower ileal osmolality were measured at the end of experiment. Egg Production rates of hens fed with 500 or 2,000 ppm of betaine were 75.06 and 75.02%, respectively and tended to increase compared to the control. The feed conversion(FCR) of these treatments was significantly(P<0.05) improved compared to that of control although it did not significantly differ in the e99 Production rates between 500 and 2,000 ppm of betain groups. Eggshell breaking strength of hens fed betaine was significantly(P<0.05) higher than those of control. However, betaine supplements did not influence to improving the albumen height and Haugh unit. Liver betaine in hens fed with betaine was linearly increased unto 2,000 ppm. The birds fed with 2,000 ppm betaine showed significantly(P<0.05) higher in the liver betaine than the control birds. Total cholesterol and triglyceride tended to be increased by dietary betaine supplement. The lower ileal osmolality in betaine supplement group tended to be slightly decreased. As a result, dietary betaine supplement tended to improve the egg Production and eggshell Quality in laying hens during heat stress.
