A Maengjong-juk (Phyllostachys pubescence) leaves tea was prepared by using a series of drying/roasting and rolling processes. The produced tea contained abundant dietary fibers (60.42%), $\beta$-carotenes (7.9 mg RE%), and calcium (437.1 mg%). Also the polyphenol content ($155.33\;{\mu}g/g$-tea) and DPPH free radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}=212\;{\mu}g/mL$) of Maengjong-juk leaves tea were greatly higher than those of simply dried leaves. These results imply that the tea preparation is effective to utilize the useful components of Maengjong-juk leaves.

Ingredient analysis and the medical action of various teas are accomplished on multi angle. However, the research regarding the prevention and a treatment of oral cavity disease, which use the green tea, is still insufficient relatively. In this experiment, the virtue of green tea bag on periodontal disease was studied. This experiment was used in 11 beagles. As a test group, 6 beagles were rinsed their tooth with green tea bag. The remaining 5 beagles were rinsed with filter paper which was soaked with normal saline. The test found no statistical significance in gingival index, plaque index, calculus index and dental pocket depth. But the number of bacteria colonies decreased significantly in test groups. The periodontal disease is related to the number of bacterial colonies. Therefore, this results show that the green tea bag is effective for periodontal disease.

Ingestion of green tea has been shown to decrease prostaglandin $E_2$ levels in human colorectum, suggesting that tea constituents modulate arachidonic acid metabolism. In the present study, we investigated the effects of four purified green tea catechins, (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), on the catalytic activity of cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ ($cPLA_2$) and release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites from intact cells. At $50\;{\mu}M$, EGCG and ECG inhibited $cPLA_2$ activity by 19 and 37%, respectively, whereas EC and EGC were less effective. The inhibitory effects of these catechins on arachidonic acid metabolism in intact cells were much more pronounced. At $10\;{\mu}M$, EGCG and ECG inhibited the release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites by 50-70% in human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29) and human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells (KYSE-190 and 450). EGCG and ECG also inhibited arachidonic acid release induced by A23187, a calcium ionophore, in both HT-29 and KYSE-450 cell lines by 30-50%. The inhibitory effects of green tea catechins on $cPLA_2$ and arachidonic acid release may provide a possible mechanism for the prevention of human gastrointestinal inflammation and cancers.

Objectives: This study examined how ethanolamines (EAs) with the same functional alcohol group ($HOCH_2CH_2$), such as mono-EA (MEA), di-EA (DEA), and tri-EA (TEA), in water-based metalworking fluids (wbMWFs) are vaporized, condensed, and transformed by heat generated during metalworking. Methods: Two types of experimental apparatus were manufactured to achieve these objectives. Results: Vaporization tests using a water bath showed that the vaporization rate increased markedly from $0.19\;mg/m^2{\cdot}min$ at $23.5^{\circ}C$ to $8.04\;mg/m^2{\cdot}min$ at $60^{\circ}C$. Chamber tests with a heat bulb revealed that "spiked" MEA was fully recovered, while only 13.32% of DEA and no TEA were recovered. Interestingly, non-spiked types of EAs were detected, indicating that heat could convert EAs with more alcohol groups (TEA or DEA) into other EAs with fewer group(s) (DEA or MEA). The EA composition in fresh fluid was 4% DEA, 66% TEA, and 30% MEA, and in used fluids (n = 5) was 12.4% DEA, 68% TEA, and 23% MEA. Conversion from TEA into DEA may therefore contribute to the DEA increment. Airborne TEA was not detected in 13 samples taken from the central coolant system and near a conveyor belt where no machining work was performed. The DEA concentration was $0.45\;mg/m^3$ in the only two samples from those locations. In contrast, airborne MEA was found in all samples (n = 53) regardless of the operation type. Conclusion: MEAs easily evaporated even when MWFs were applied, cleaned, refilled, and when they were in fluid storage tanks without any metalworking being performed. The conversion of TEA to DEA and MEA was found in the machining operations.

본 연구는 한지역에서 생산된 동종의 차 엽을 같은 시기에 채취하여 불발효차와 반발효차로 발효정도가 다르게 제다하여 주요 성분과 생리활성을 비교하였다. 불발효차인 녹차는 일반 가공 방식대로 만든 녹차, 채엽하여 실내 위조의 과정을 거쳐서 만든 위조 녹차로 만들었고, 반발효차인 황차는 햇볕에서 제다한 중(中)발효차인 일쇄차와 강하게 발효를 한 황차를 시료로 하였다. 주요 성분은 일반성분 및 폴리페놀과 카페인의 함량을 분석하였고, 차의 수색,전자공여능에 의한 항산화 활성 및 ACE 저해능을 조사하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 차의 일반성분은 발효정도와 제다방법에 따라 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 차의 기능성분을 조사해 본 결과 total phenolic compound 함량은 $3.59%{\sim}3.87%$의 범위로 나타나 발효정도와 제다방법에 따라 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 caffeine 함량은 녹차가 5.81%로 가장 높았으며, 위조차가 5.75%, 일쇄차가 3.46%, 황차가 2.66% 순으로 발효정도에 따라 caffeine 함량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 차의 수색은 발효정도가 강할수록 명도(L)는 감소하였고, 녹색도(-a)가 낮아지면서 적색(a)에 가까워졌으며, 황색도(b)는 발효정도에 따라 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 차의 전자공여능에 의한 항산화 활성은 녹차가 85.6%로 가장 높았으며, 위조차가 81.24%, 일쇄차가 72.84%, 황차가 28.85% 의 순으로 불발효차 일수록 항산화활성이 뛰어났으며 ACE 효소 활성 역시 불발효차 일수록 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 그 차이는 미비하였다.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the green tea dasik varying the added value of oligosaccharide were investigated and the products were surveyed by elementary school students regarding the acceptability. Protein and ash contents were significantly higher and fat contents were significanlty lower in the samples with oligosaccharides compared to those in commercial ones(p<0.05). Commercial samples had significantly higher values in all of the textural characteristics using textural analyzer compared to those of the developed dasik sample groups. In analytical sensory evaluation, varying the amount of oligosaccharide, commercial samples had significantly higher values of sweetness, hardness, and cohesiveness and lower values of savory aroma and falvor compared to those of developed dasik(p<0.05). Savory aroma and flavor were highly negatively correlated with textural hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness(p<0.01), while sensory sweetness and hardness were significantly positively correlated with textural springiness(p<0.05), chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness(p<0.01). When surveying elementary school students regarding the acceptability of green tea dasik and commercial samples, green tea dasik 2 was the most preferred with significance in color. Regarding aroma, green tea dasik 1 received the highest acceptability (p<0.05). In the flavor, both dasik 1 and 2 received higher score than those of the commercial dasik. In overall acceptability, both green tea dasik 1 and 2 were preferred to the commercially sold ones with significance(p<0.05).

우리나라에 자생하는 엉겅퀴를 대상으로 식물부위, 건조방법에 따른 총플라보노이드와 apigenin 함량 분석 및 엉겅퀴차의 소비자 기호도 검사를 수행한 결과, 잎에서 추출된 총플라보노이드 함량이 가장 높았으며, 꽃 및 줄기의 순서로 나타났다. 건조 방법에 따른 총플라보노이드의 함량은 잎과 꽃에서는 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 줄기에서는 동결건조와 오븐건조가 자연건조보다 높게 나타났다. Apigenin함량도 잎에서 가장 많이 확인되었으며 꽃, 줄기의 순서로 나타났다. 건조방법에 따른 apigenin함량 변화는 엉겅퀴의 잎과 줄기에서는 나타나지 않았으나, 꽃에서는 동결건조와 자연건조보다 오븐건조에서 그 함량이 높게 나타났다. 소비자 기호도 검사에서는 엉겅퀴꽃잎혼합차의 선호도가 엉겅퀴잎차 보다 높았으며, 이러한 제품이 시판될 때의 구매의향도 엉겅퀴꽃잎혼합차가 엉겅퀴잎차보다 높게 나타났다.
