In many countries, goat milk is an excellent nutrient source and is less allergenic for children and the elderly. The casein composition of goat milk consists largely of ${\beta}$-casein and lower amounts of ${\alpha}_{s1}$-casein, which may interfere with digestion by forming solid curds in the human stomach. Goat milk contains small fat globules and large amounts of medium chain fatty acids for, better digestibility, as well as abundant minerals and vitamins with high absorption rates. Recently, the medical benefits of goat milk in different human disorders have been recognized, leading to an increased interest in developing functional foods with goat milk, particularly for individuals with malabsorption syndrome. However, the physiological and biochemical properties of goat milk are largely unknown. We review the importance of goat milk as a potential functional food by providing scientific evidence confirming its health benefits.

A total of 152 pig farms were randomly selected from the five provinces in South Korea. During the experiment, the average temperature and relative humidity was $24.7^{\circ}C$ and 74% in summer and $2.4^{\circ}C$ and 53% in winter, respectively. The correlation between floor space allowance (FSA) and productivity index was analyzed, including non-productive sow days (NPD), number of weaners (NOW), survival rate (SR), appearance rate of A-grade pork (ARA), and days at a slaughter weight of 110 kg (d-SW) at different growth stages. The objectives of the present study were i) to determine the effect of FSA on the pig productivity index and ii) to suggest the minimum FSA for pigs based on scientific baseline data. For the pregnant sow, NPD could be decreased if pregnant sows were raised with a medium level (M) of FSA (3.10 to $3.67m^2/head$) while also keeping the pig house clean which improves hygiene, and operating the ventilation system properly. For the farrowing sows, the NOW tended to decrease as the FSA increased. Similarly, a high level of FSA (H) is significantly negative with weaner SR of farrowing sows (p-value = 0.017), indicating this FSA tends to depress SR. Therefore, a FSA of 2.30 to $6.40m^2/head$ (very low) could be appropriate for weaners because a limited space can provide a sense of security and protection from external interruptions. The opposite trend was observed that an increase in floor space (> $1.12m^2/head$ leads to increase the SR of growing pigs. For the fattening pigs, H level of FSA was negatively correlated with SR, but M level of FSA was positively correlated with SR, indicating that SR tended to increase with the FSA of 1.10 to $1.27m^2/head$. In contrast, ARA of male fattening pigs showed opposite results. H level of FSA (1.27 to $1.47m^2/head$) was suggested to increase productivity because ARA was most affected by H level of space allowance with positive correlation ($R^2=0.523$). The relationship between the FSA and d-SW of fattening pigs was hard to identify because of the low $R^2$ value. However, the farms that provided a relatively large floor space (1.27 to $1.54m^2/head$) during the winter period showed d-SW was significantly and negatively affected by FSA.

The objective of this study was to investigate characteristics and functionality of yogurt applied red ginseng extract. Yogurts added with red ginseng extract (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%) were produced using Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus and stored at refrigerated temperature. During fermentation, pH was decreased whereas titratable aicidity and viable cell counts of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus were increased. The composition of yogurt samples was measured on day 1, an increase of red ginseng extract content in yogurt resulted in an increase in lactose, protein, total solids, and ash content, whereas fat and moisture content decreased. The pH value and cell counts of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus were declined, however titratable acidity was increased during storage period. The antioxidant capacity was measured as diverse methods. During refrigerated storage time, the value of antioxidant effect was decreased, however, yogurt fortified with red ginseng extract had higher capacity than plain yogurt. The antioxidant effect was improved in proportion to concentration of red ginseng extract. These data suggests that red ginseng extract could affect to reduce fermentation time of yogurt and enhance antioxidant capacity.

Fruits of Rhus parviflora were extracted with 80% aqueous methanol (MeOH), and the concentrated extract was partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and $H_2O$, successively. Purification of EtOAc fraction led to isolation of fifteen polyphenols of which structures were identified by spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR. Most compounds apart from compound 10 inhibited low density lipoproteinoxidation within $IC_{50}$ value of $10{\mu}M$. Among compounds, taxifolin (2), quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (13), agathisflavone (5) sulfuretin (4), and aureusidin (3) showed $IC_{50}$ values 0.9, 0.8, 5.8, 2.9, and $2.4{\mu}M$ which were of highly significant in comparison positive control butylated hydroxytoluene with $IC_{50}$ value of $2.1{\mu}M$. The results indicate fruits of R. parviflora as a source of antihypercholesterolemic compounds.

본 연구는 가자 추출물(TCE), 차전초 추출물(PAE), 생강나무잎 추출물(LOE) 그리고 매생이 추출물(CFE)을 첨가하여 식빵을 제조하고, 매일 30 g의 식빵 식이를 6주령 SD 랫드에게 제공한 뒤 혈당과 지질과 관련된 지표들의 변화를 관찰하였다. 추출물이 첨가된 식빵을 섭취한 모든 그룹에서 체중, 음수량, 간과 신장의 무게, AST, ALP, ALT의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 식이 섭취 후 혈당의 변화를 확인하기 위해 매주 1회 절식 후 공복혈당을 측정하였을 때 1주차 측정 결과에서 Con 그룹의 혈당 수치가 $134.63{\pm}27.12mg/dL$로 BT 그룹, BP 그룹, BL 그룹 그리고 BC 그룹과 비교하여 유의적인 차이를 보이며 혈당이 상승하였고, 4주차 측정 결과에서는 Con 그룹($123.63{\pm}9.62mg/dL$), BT(그룹 $119.13{\pm}9.60mg/dL$), BP 그룹($117.37{\pm}12.77mg/dL$), BL 그룹($116.50{\pm}14.43mg/dL$)과 비교해 BC 그룹에서 $108.13{\pm}4.64$의 혈당치로 유의적인 차이를 보이며 혈당이 감소하는 것을 보아 CFE가 첨가된 식빵은 혈당강하에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다(p<0.05). 이어진 경구당부하검사 120분대 혈당치에서 BT 그룹($124.63{\pm}17.15mg/dL$), BL 그룹($121.50{\pm}13.28mg/dL$)은 Con 그룹($138.50{\pm}6.09mg/dL$)의 혈당치와 비교하여 유의적인 차이를 보이며 감소하는 것을 보여주었으며(p<0.05), AUC에서 유의적인 차이는 나타내지 않았지만 BT 그룹, BP 그룹, 그리고 BL 그룹의 area value가 적어졌다. AUC와 경구당부하검사 결과를 종합해 볼 때 TCE, PAE 그리고 LOE가 첨가된 식빵은 기존식빵에 비해 내당능에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 혈당과 관련된 중요 지표 중 하나인 당화혈색소 측정 결과에서 Con 그룹(4.06%)과 비교해 유의적인 차이를 보이며 BL 그룹(1.53%)와 BC 그룹(2.28%)은 당화혈색소 함량이 감소하는 것을 보였다(p<0.05). 지질 측정 지표인 TC, TG, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol 측정결과에서 BL 그룹은 TC, LDL-cholesterol을 유의적으로 낮췄으 며 BC 그룹은 TC, LDL-cholesterol을 유의적으로 낮추고 HDL-cholesterol의 함량을 유의적으로 증가시켰다. LOE와 CFE가 첨가된 식빵 식이는 제공은 지질대사의 불균형을 조절할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며 나아가 동맥경화 예방에도 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 지질과 관련된 유전인자인 PPAR-${\alpha}$과 PPAR-${\gamma}$에 대한 mRNA 발현을 측정한 결과 BL 그룹, BC그룹에서 Con 그룹과 유의적인 차이를 나타내며 PPAR-${\alpha}$ mRNA 발현이 증가하였고, PPAR-${\gamma}$ mRNA 발현의 경우, BP 그룹, BL 그룹, BC 그룹에서 가장 적은 발현을 나타내었다. 실험 결과를 통해 추출물 중 여러 측정 항목에서 LOE와 CFE가 첨가된 식빵식이에서 가장 좋은 활성을 보였으므로 LOE와 CFE는 공복혈당 강하와 내당능에 효과가 있으며 HDL의 합성을 촉진하여 혈중 TC의 함량을 낮춘 것으로 생각된다. 또한 PPAR-${\alpha}$의 전사를 활발하게 하고 PPAR-${\gamma}$와 관련된 유전인자의 활성을 낮춰 지질대사의 균형을 유지시키는 것으로 사료된다.

In 1967, cheese was first produced with small scale of mozzarella cheese in Korea. The processed cheese market was highly grown after putting on the market of sliced cheese in the late 1980's, and the various products that complied with well-being trends such as organic and high functional cheese have been produced in the 2000's. The natural cheese opens up a new domestic market after producing camembert and brie cheese in the end of 2004. At present. the cheese market is expanded with differentiated products such as high value added and high functional cheese. The size of domestic cheese market remains about 200 billion won, but it is expected to go over a trillion won on account of growing preference of natural cheese with well-being trends. To promote domestic cheese industry, differentiation policy of raw milk price for cheese, diversification of cheese products, financial support to farm-made cheese industry and automation and processing development to improve productivity should be taken into account in the future in Korea.

A gene for a putative glucoamylase, stg, of a hyperthermophilic archae on Sulfolobus tokodaii was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant glucoamylase (STGA) had an optimal temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ and was extremely thermostable with a D-value of 17 hr. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 4.5. Being different from fungal glucoamylases, STGA hydrolyzed maltotriose (G3) most efficiently. Gel permeation chromatography and sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation analysis showed that the enzyme existed as a dimer. STGA was stable enough to hydrolyze liquefied com starch to glucose in 4 hr at $90^{\circ}C$ with a yield of95%. Comparison of the $k_{cat}$ values for the hydrolysis and the reverse reaction at $75^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ indicated that glucose production by STGA was more efficient at $90^{\circ}C$ than $75^{\circ}C$. Therefore, STGA showed great potential for application to the industrial glucose production process due to its high thermostability.

A strong oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase promoter (referred to as SWPA2 promoter) was cloned from tell cultures of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) and characterized in transgenic tobacco cultured cells in terms of biotechnological applications. Employing a transient expression assay in tobacco protoplasts, with five different 5'-deletion mutants of the SWPA2 promoter fused to the $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene, the 1314 bp deletion mutant showed approximately 30 times higher GUS expression than the CaMV 35S promoter. The expression of GUS activity in suspension cultures of transgenic cells derived from transgenic tobacco leaves containing the -1314 bp SWPA2 promoter-GUS fusion was strongly expressed following 15 days of subculture compared to other deletion mutants, suggesting that the 1314 bp SWPA2 promoter will be biotechnologically useful for the development of transgenic cell lines engineered to produce key pharmaceutical proteins. In this respect, we developed transgenic cell lines such as tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. BY-2), ginseng (Panax ginseng) and Siberian ginseng (Acanthopanax senticosus) using a SWPA2 promoter to produce a human lactoferrin (hLf) and characterized the hLf production in cultured cells. The hLf production monitored by ELISA analysis in transgenic BY-2 cells was directly increased proportional to cell growth and reached a maximal level (up to 4.3% of total soluble protein) at the stationary phase in suspension cultures. The SWPA2 promoter should result in higher productivity and increased applications of plant cultured cells for the production of high-value recombinant proteins.

Ironically, marine bioresource production in Chungnam Province is the second-largest in the country. The province's marine bioresource production puts its lack of a marine bioindustry in the spotlight despite the region's favorable conditions to produce representative value-added and (ultra) high value-added products such as neutraceutical and/or pharmaceutical function. This juxtaposition is to be expected, as there are no institutions for training professionals in the field of marine biology or in the fisheries industry in the West Sea area. The unique features of the region require individuals with specialized training who have been educated in accordance with regional development and the specificity of the region. Recently, however, a plan has been initiated at the national level to foster the growth of the marine biology industry in the Chungnam Province on Korea's west coast. This plan includes increasing funds to the marine biology market to 1.2 trillion by 2030. If the Chungnam region wants to successfully revitalize the marine biology industry and put the increased funds to efficient use, it must first establish various research and (business) development (R&(B)D) plans regarding local marine biology infrastructures and marine biology programs at local universities. It must also focus on training specialists to protect, maintain, and develop the region's marine bio-resources to increase the growth of the region's bioindustry.
