Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the Mulberry Extract Complex in a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial and animal study on degenerative arthritis. Methods : Animal study: Mulberry Extract Complex is composed of extracts of mulberry (Morus alba L.) fruit, mulberry leaves and black beans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). To evaluate the serum level of interleukin-2, interferon-$\gamma$, and prostaglandin E2, an animal model of degenerative arthritis induced by monosodium iodoacetate was employed. Clinical study: The efficacy index (VAS, K-WOMAC) was compared among patients with symptoms of degenerative arthritis before and after Mulberry Extract Complex ingestion as well as the one in groups. Evaluations of the improvement by the subjects and by doctor assessment were also performed. Results : Animal study: Mulberry Extract Complex reduced the serum level of interferon-$\gamma$ and prostaglandin E2 in an animal model with degenerative arthritis. Clinical study: The VAS change showed statistical significance in the experimental groups after 4 weeks (PP set) and 8 weeks (ITT set) of ingestion. When the K-WOMAC was analyzed using a modified ITT set to determine the effectiveness, statistically significant results were obtained in the fields of pain & symptom within the Mulberry Extract Complex group as well as between the Mulberry Extract Complex and placebo groups after 8 weeks of ingestion. Results from the improvement evaluation by subjects and the assessment of improvement by doctors showed statistical significance in the experimental groups (PP set) after 8 weeks. Conclusions : Mulberry Extract Complex could be useful for the improvement of various symptoms of degenerative arthritis based on its anti-inflammatory activity and its reduction of VAS and K-WOMAC pain scores.

Black sooty mould fungus was observed on the upper side of the mulberry leaves caused by the Capnodium sp. This fungus develops with the utilization of the honeydew dropped by the whiteflies. Few selected insecticides like Monocrotophos, Chloropyriphos and Nuvan were tried to control the whitefly incidence and followed by the application of Maida (wheat flour paste) and Starch solution separately to control the incidence of the Capnodium on mulberry. It is found that a significant control of the whitefly incidence with the application of Nuvan (2 $m\ell$/L) and followed by Chloropyriphos (2 $m\ell$/L) and Monocrotophos (1.6 $m\ell$/L) and also a significant control of sooty mould infection were recorded with Starch and Maida application.

A preliminary survey on the incidence and intensity of root disease complex (association of Meloidogyne incognita and root rot pathogens) was carried out in the sericultural areas of Karnataka. A total of 280 mulberry gardens were surveyed in 14 districts of Karnataka belonging to different types of soil (red sandy, red loamy and black cotton), farming systems (irrigated and rainfed), varieties (V-1, K-2, Local and S-13) and age of the plants (0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 years). It was observed that the association of M. incognita with Botryodiplodia theobromae and Fusarium solani causes the root disease complex in mulberry. Of the 280 gardens visited, 94 were infested with the disease complex and incidence was recorded as 33.6%. The higher intensity of root disease complex was observed when the root system had more than 100 galls/plant with infection of mixed population of B. theobromae and F. solani in sandy soil under irrigated farming. The 5-10 years old mulberry plantation with V-I variety was found to be most susceptible to root disease complex. Districts like Mysore, Kolar, Mandya, Tumkur, Chitradurga and Bangalore were observed as sensitive areas. Further, the wounds caused by M. incognita in mulberry roots favour the easy entry of root rot pathogens, which increased the severity of the disease very fast.

본 연구에서는 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8을 이용한 오디 발효주(MBB)와 시판건조효모 Fermivin을 이용한 오디 발효주(MBF)의 발효 품질 특성을 비교하였고, 항산화능을 확인하기 위하여 두 종의 제조된 발효주와 오디생과 착즙액의 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량 및 DPPH radical 소거 활성, ABTS radical 소거 활성, 환원력을 측정하였다. 또한 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8로 발효한 발효주의 향기성분을 Fermivin 발효주의 향기성분과 비교하여 풍미나 식향에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. S. cerevisiae B-8은 국내 복분자로부터 분리된 토종발효미생물이며, 이와 Fermivin을 각각 오디에 $1{\times}10^9$ CFU/kg으로 접종하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 10일 동안 발효를 진행하였다. 그 결과 MBF의 최종 품질은 알코올 15.44%, 당도 $11.2^{\circ}Bx$, 산도 0.75%로 발효 속도는 MBB보다 약 2배 정도 빠르며 최종 알코올 생성량이 약 1% 정도 높아 우수한 알코올 생성능을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 MBF가 $1.90{\pm}0.02$ GAE mg/mL, MBB는 $1.97{\pm}0.01$ GAE mg/mL로 Fermivin보다 토종발효미생물인 S. cerevisiae B-8로 발효한 MBB가 가장 높은 함량을 보였고, MBB의 총 플라보노이드 함량($0.57{\pm}0.01$ RU mg/mL)은 MBF와 비슷한 함량을 보였으며, MBJ보다는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 항산화 활성 검증을 위한 DPPH radical 소거 활성의 $IC_{50}$ 값을 비교한 결과 오디 착즙액보다 두 종의 발효주의 활성이 증가하였고, MBB($73.62{\pm}0.37{\mu}L/mL$)와 MBF($70.86{\pm}0.79{\mu}L/mL$) 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. ABTS radical 소거 활성 결과 $IC_{50}$ 값은 MBB($19.16{\pm}0.25{\mu}L/mL$), MBF($19.90{\pm}0.19{\mu}L/mL$), 착즙액 순으로 높은 활성을 보였고, 환원력도 MBB가 MBF보다 농도 의존적으로 높은 활성을 보여 항산화 활성 실험 결과 MBB가 MBF보다 우수한 활성을 보였다. 두 종의 오디 발효주에서 분석된 23개의 휘발성분(Table 4) 중 술의 향기성분에 크게 관여하는 과일향이나 와인향의 풍미를 지닌 ester류 15종과 과일향의 acetate류 1종, aldehyde류 1종과 술의 주성분인 ethyl alcohol을 제외한 alcohol 6종이 분석되었다. Ethyl caprylate와 달콤하면서 견과류 향을 나타내는 decanoic acid, ethyl ester가 MBF보다 2배 이상 높은 함량을 보였으며, 부드럽고 orris, violet과 같은 oil 특성을 나타내는 tetradecanoic acid, ethyl ester는 MBF보다 MBB가 약 10배 많은 함량을 보였다. 그 외 술의 향미에 크게 관여하는 ester류 화합물이 MBB보다 MBF에서 대체적으로 더 높은 함량을 보였다. 결과적으로 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8을 이용한 발효주는 시판되는 Fermivin을 이용한 발효주보다 우수한 항산화 활성을 보였으며, 향기성분 분석 결과 상대적으로 풍부한 ester 화합물을 지녀 향미나 식향에도 도움을 줄 것으로 판단되어 토종발효미생물 S. cerevisiae B-8의 산업적 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Much attention has been focused on the activity of the natural antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables, because potentially these components may reduce the level of oxidative stress. Especially, mulberry leaves containing many natural components are considerable resource for natural antioxidants. The antioxidant capacity of mulberry leaves was investigated with minilum L-100 device and ARAW-KIT (anti-radical ability of water-soluble substance), in comparison to the ascorbic acid. The antioxidant capacity of 16 varieties was 3303.4 nmol at opening stage of five leaves in spring. The highest stage of antioxidant capacity (3708.0 nmol) and yield rate was just before the coloration stage with anthocyanin in fruits, whereas the lowest stage was middle of June (2231.6 nmol) and about two months growing stage after summer pruning (2064.6 nmol). But after summer pruning, the antioxidant capacity of mulberry leaves increased gradually until just before fallen leaves stage. Even if samples were same variety, antioxidant effect of those showed different results according to collected regions. Also, antioxidant effect of mulberry leaves were higher than that of branches. The antioxidant capacity of yield-type mulberry leaves and fruits (Morus alba L., M. bombycis Koidz, and M. Lhou (Ser.) Koidz) collected from In-je, Won-ju and Yang-yang regions, Kang-won province, Korea, was investigated. The results indicated that total antioxidant capacity of yield-type mulberry leaves was 2711.2 nmol. In the antioxidant capacity analysis of Jeollabuk-Do genetic resources, autumn's mulberry leaves showed higher antioxidant capacity than that of spring's it. To investigate the effect of tea on antioxidative capacity, five kinds of tea(coffee mix, green tea added brown rice, mulberry leaf tea, Polygonatum odoratum tea and black tea added lemon) were selected and analyzed. Their's anti-oxidative capacity were 2,531.01 nmol, 1,867.42 nmol, 1,053.72 nmol, 292.71 nmol and 188.91 nmol, respectively. The antioxidative capacity of drinking water soaked with mulberry leaf showed 891.96 nmol.
