Hibiscus is rich in acids, anthocyanins, flavonols, oils, proanthocyanidins, and various pigments. It is utilized for medicinal purposes, to improve human health, and as a galactagogue to stimulate milk production in cows. Due to its biofunctional activities, hibiscus oil has broad applications spanning different fields. This study analyzed the pH and organoleptic quality attributes of three different vegetable-based milk analogs supplemented with hibiscus oil at 0%-1.5% concentrations. The results revealed that the addition of hibiscus oil did not affect pH; however, as the concentration of the hibiscus oil increased, the organoleptic quality attributes of the milk analogs supplemented with it decreased. All three milk analogs supplemented with 0.25% hibiscus oil demonstrated favorable attributes compared to the control group. This study provides valuable foundational data for developing new vegetable-based milk analogs that possess enhanced biofunctionality through the supplementation of hibiscus oil.

Eugenol, which can be extracted from clove oil, is a phenolic aromatic compound and has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant functions. Consequently, clove oil has long been used in several fields (food, medicine, skincare). Hence, in this study, the sensory profile of clove oil contained in milk analogs (almond, oat, and soy milks) was evaluated at different amounts (added at 0.25%-0.5% increments from 0% to 1.5%). Because of the strong scent of clove oil, the value of the evaluation for sensory profile determined in this study tended to be low. However, compared with the control group, good values in the evaluation for the sensory profile were found in all samples containing 0.25% of clove oil. We evaluated clove oil contained in milk analogs to help increase their sales through products with improved functionality.

Lactophoricin (LPcin), which is a part of proteose peptone isolated from bovine milk, is a cationic amphipathic ${\alpha}-helical$ antimicrobial peptide. Its truncated variants and mutated analogs were designed and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated by using various assays, like broth dilution methods and disk diffusion methods as well as hemolysis assay. Three analogs, LPcin-C8 (LPcin-YK1), LPcin-T2&6W (LPcin-YK2), and LPcin-T2&6W-C8 (LPcin-YK3), which showed better antibiotic activities than LPcin, were selected. Their secondary structures were also characterized by using CD spectropolarimetry. These three analogs of LPcin could be used as an alternative source of powerful antibacterial agents.

우유 중에 존재할 수 있는 발암성 진균독소의 하나인 $aflatoxin{\;}M_1{\;}(AFM_1)$을 신속, 간편하게 분석할 수 있는 효소면역측정법(ELISA)을 개발하고자 하였다. 소혈청알부민에 공유결합한 $AFM_1\;(AFM_1-BSA)$을 토끼에 면역하여 항체를 생산하고 정제하였다. 이 항체의 유사독소와의 교차반응율은 29.9%이하의 비교적 낮은 교차율을 나타냈다. $AFM_1$의 검출을 위하여 확립한 직접경합ELISA (cdELISA)로 우유에 인위적으로 오염시킨 $AFM_1$을 정제과정없이 ELISA로 분석하는 경우, 우유를 PBS로 40%되게(2:3) 희석하였을 때 양호한 회수율을 보였다. 이 조건하에서 행한 ELISA의 $AFM_1$분석 회수율은 0.3-3.0 ng/ml의 오염농도 범위에서 농도별 회수율로 평균 113%, 그 분산은 8.2%였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 ELISA system은 우유 중의 0.5 ppb이상의 $AFM_1$을 정제과정없이 손쉽게 분석하는데 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
