Cepacidine A was previously isolated as a novel antifungal antibiotic from the culture broth of Pseudomonas cepacia AF2001. It exhibits a potent in vitro antifungal activity against various plant pathogenic fungi, such as Plasmopora veticola on grapes, Septoria nodorum and Fusarium culmorum on wheat, as well as Colletotrichum lagenarium on cucumbers. Accordingly, this study was conducted to evaluate the potential crop protection activity of strain P. cepacia AF2001. The strain was tested in semi-greenhouse biocontrol assays, and showed an excellent biological activity against Pythium ultimum in cotton and cucumbers; however, only a minor activity against Rhizoctonia aolani in cotton was observed. Furthermore, the nematodes Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus only exhibited a moderated activity in the in vitro larval development assay with no activity in the in vivo animal model.

Cucumbers being living biological materials are generally vulnerable to external forces, especially, bending force during the processes, because they have usually longish shape. Understanding the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of cucumber is important to analyze various characteristics which might be helpful in determining design parameters for the processing equipment such as sorting, packaging and transporting machine. The objectives of this study were to determine ultimate bending strength, deflections, and hysteresis losses for the cucumbers from the bending tests. Within the range of loading rate from 20 to 100mm/min, the ultimate bending strength of the cucumber samples were 525-630kPa at the Gyeousalicheongjang and the Baekdadagi, and 476~618kPa at the Cheongjangmadi, respectively, but the ultimate bending deflection ratio of the Cheongjangmadi showed the highest value among the tested samples. The effect of loading rate on the physical properties of the cucumber was relatively significant, all considered physical properties and degree of elasticity of the cucumber increased with the loading rate, but the hysteresis loss decreased with it.

This paper addresses a fundamental and theoretical model for the shape of a cucumber and its human-oriented proper definition of length and curvature in order to sort cucumbers electronically. In addition, we design a T-shaped array of sensors to minimize the number of sensors and the processing number of A/D(Analog/Digital) conversions, and we analyze regular patterns of a series of 1's and 0's which are converted from an A/D module. Finally we suggest an algorithm for measuring the length and curvature providing a rule from the regular patterns. The methodology suggested in this paper could be applied to electronical classification of some crops and fruits such as tomatoes, apples, and so on, and can be a basis for developing other sorting machines.

본 연구는 오이의 추출물에서 Ascorbic acid oxidase 활성의 존재유무를 검토하고 이 효소의 특성을 규명하여 Ascorbic acid의 손실을 최소화하는 과채류의 조리, 가공조건을 설정하는데 도움이 되고저 시도 되었다. 오이에서 Ascorbic acid oxidase를 분리해 내어 그 특성을 연구한 결과 시간의 변화에 따른 Ascorbic acid oxidase의 활성은 처음 10분 동안 Ascorbic acid 감소량이 가장 현저하였으며 Ascorbic acid oxidase의 최저 pH는 6.5로 나타났다. 또한 온도의 변화에 따른 Ascorbic acid oxidase의 활성은 $40^{\circ}C$까지는 계속 증가하다가 최적온도 $40^{\circ}C$를 기점으로 그 이상의 온도에서는 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 고찰한 결과를 실제로 적용시켜 오이 juice를 제조하여 온도 및 pH변화에 따른 Ascorbic acid 함량을 비교한 결과 냉장온도에서 $4^{\circ}C$의 물로 blending한 것이 실온의 물로 blending한 것보다 Ascocbic acid 함량이 높았으며 orang juice (pH 34) 를 첨가하여 blending한 것은 Ascorbic acid 함량이 감소되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 야채 juice조제시 저온에서 처리하고 pH 를 3.9 이하로 낮추며 juice 조제후 바로 섭취하는 것이 Ascorbic acid의 파괴를 최소화할 수 있는 바람직한 방법이라고 사려된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the growth rate and the optimal stocking density of sea cucumbers. Grow-out was studied in situ by conducting a follow-up survey using visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags. The rearing systems were made of polypropylene pipe for the frames and netting. The experiment ran for 70 days near Yeosu, Korea in the water depth of about 7 m. A total of 576 sea cucumbers which have three groups of body sizes (small: 5.15, medium: 12.34 and large: 23.26 g) were used. The five groups of stocking densities (150, 300, 450, 600 and $850g/m^2$) in rearing system for sea cucumber were considered. Sea cucumbers were fed a mixed diet (mud, mineral, fish meal, etc.). The feed was supplied to 10% of their body wet weight once every 7 days. The survival rate (73%) of sea cucumber in $850g/m^2$ was lower than those of other density groups ($150g/m^2$: 89%, $300g/m^2$: 84%, $450g/m^2$: 78% and $600g/m^2$: 86%). The survival rate of medium size group was higher than those of small and large groups regardless of the density (P<0.05). Most of density groups have no significant difference except for $850g/m^2$ (P>0.05). The growth rate of small size group ($0.63%day^{-1}$) was higher than those of medium ($0.38%day^{-1}$) and large ($0.34%day^{-1}$) group regardless of the density (P<0.05). The threshold water temperature was $11.0^{\circ}C$ for sea cucumber growth in winter season.

제조과정, 과산화물 및 저장기간에 따른 냉장 Dill 피클과 brine에 함유된 lipoxygenase, peroxidase, catalase 효소의 활성 변화를 조사하였다. 오이를 Dill 피클용 brine에 1일 저장시의 lipoxygenase는 거의 비활성화 되었으나, 1일 이후에는 lipoxygenase의 활성은 서서히 감소하였다. 반면, 오이 tissue에 존재하는 peroxidase의 활성은 피클 제조후 4일 저장기간 동안 서서히 감소 현상을 나타내었다. 신선한 오이 tissue에서 추출된 catalase는 높은 활성을 가지나, 오이를 피클용 brine에 담갔을 경우에는 소량의 catalase 활성만 보였다. Brine에 과산화물을 첨가시, tissue에서 추출된 lipoxygenase, peroxidase, catalase 활성은 저장 기간과 과산화물 농도에 따라 지속적인 감소를 보였다.

A non-destructive environmental DNA protocol for the genetic analysis of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) resources DNA was established. Among the several commercial DNA extraction kits, the DNeasy^® Plant Mini Kit was selected as the best choice to obtain the high-quality genomic DNAs from the mucous sea cucumber. As the temperature and incubation time increased, the amount of extracted environmental DNA was also large, but it was judged that the increased amount did not affect as much as 2-3 times. Therefore, these conditions were not considered to be the main factors to consider in actual environmental DNA extraction. However, the amount of seawater relative to the size of the sample was judged as a major consideration, and a sufficient amount of environmental DNA for analysis was secured when stored within 1 min while stirring the volume of seawater corresponding to the total sea cucumber weight (g). In securing the environmental DNA of sea cucumbers, the mortality rate of sea cucumbers in all experiments was 0, and it was judged that the effects of sea cucumbers were not significant through this treatment. Through the results of this study, sea cucumber DNA research, which has been conducted in a destructive method, can be conducted non-destructively through environmental DNA analysis. Through this study, we have secured a standard protocol that can successfully extract the sea cucumber DNA through environmental DNA. It is not only excellent in terms of time and cost of traditional DNA analysis method currently used, but it is completely non-destructive in the ecosystem of the survey area. It is believed that the system can be transformed in a way that does not affect it. However, it is thought that various standard protocols should be established considering the characteristics of each type.

This study evaluated the abundance of fecal coliforms in oysters Crassostrea gigas, sea squirts Halocynthia roretzi and sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus in fisheries along the coast of Korea in 2014, and investigated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from these fishery products. The ranges of fecal coliforms found in oysters, sea squirts and sea cucumbers were <18-20, <18-330 and <18-3,300 MPN (most probable number)/100 g, respectively. Sea squirts contained the greatest range of E. coli (<20-140 MPN/100 g), followed by sea cucumbers (<20-130 MPN/100 g) and oysters (<20-20 MPN/100 g). A total of 26 strains of E. coli were isolated from 34 sea squirt, 25 sea cucumber and 13 oyster samples. Strains thus isolated were tested for their susceptibility to 22 antimicrobial agents used in Korea for medical or veterinary therapy. E. coli isolates showed the greatest resistance to ampicillin (84.6%), followed by trimethoprim (34.6%), nalidixic acid (34.6%), tetracycline (30.8%), pipemidic acid (26.9%), streptomycin (23.1%), chloramphenicol (23.1%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (23.1%), and gentamicin (15.4%). Resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent was present in 88.5% of E. coli isolates. Of the 26 isolated, six strains (23.1%) were resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents.

최근 웰빙문화의 확산과 안전농산물에 대한 관심이 증대하면서 유기농산물에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있는 추세이나 유기농산물의 품질특성에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재배환경이 유사한 조건에서 재배된 두 가지 품종(청낙합, 입추낙합)의 관행 및 유기재배오이를 대상으로 품질특성을 조사하였고, 연속수증기증류추출방법(SDE)에 의해 휘발성 향기성분을 추출하여 비교 분석하였다. 유기 및 관행재배 오이의 pH와 가용성고형물은 품종에 관계없이 관행재배에서 조금 더 높았고, 과중은 유기재배에 비해 관행오이의 과중이 17.0-19.7% 더 무거웠으며, 과육의 경도는 입추낙합의 경우 유기오이의 경도가 유의적으로 더 높아 조직감이 우수할 것으로 사료된다. Chlorophyll a, b, 총 chlorophyll(TC) 함량의 경우 전반적으로 유기재배에서 더 높은 함량을 나타냈고, TC의 경우 유기오이에서 15.9-19.2% 더 높게 조사되었다. 또한 휘발성 향기성분은 청낙합의 경우 aldehyde류, hydrocarbon류의 휘발성 향기성분이 입추낙합 보다 더 높은 비율을 차지하였으며, 입추낙합의 경우 청낙합에 비해 acid류, alcohol류, ester류에서 다소 높은 비율을 차지하였으나 관행과 유기재배에 따른 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 따라서 오이 유기재배의 경우 품질특성 측면에서 청낙합에 비해 입추낙합 품종에서 조직감이 우수하고 chlorophyll 함량이 더 높은 입추낙합 품종이 더 적합할 것으로 사료된다.
