늙은 호박의 부위를 나누고 추출용매를 증류수, 50% EtOH, 100% EtOH로 달리하여 건물 중량의 25배에 해당되는 부피(w/v)일 때, 추출물의 생리활성 및 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 추출물의 수율을 측정한 결과 추출용매를 증류수로 사용한 추출물들이 가장 높았으며, 특히 섬유질 추출물이 14.62%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 전자공여 작용의 경우 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 52.37%의 높은 전자 공여능을 보였다. SOD 유사활성을 측정한 결과에서는 100% EtOH에 의해 추출된 과육 추출물이 42.48%로 다른 추출물보다 높은 유사활성을 나타냈다. 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 121.49 mg%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 아질산염 소거능 측정 결과에서 모든 추출물이 pH 1.2에서 소거능이 가장 높게 측정되었다. Tyrosinase 활성 저해능의 경우 모든 과육 추출물이 11.36~19.14%로 가장 높게 나타났으나 비교물질인 L-ascorbic acid에 비해 매우 낮은 저해능을 보였다. ACE 저해활성에서도 전자공여능과 페놀함량 측정결과와 같이 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 가장 높게 나타났다.

늙은 호박의 물 및 70% 에탄올 추출물에 대한 세포의 독성 및 지방생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 세포 생존율 측정에서 늙은 호박 추출물이 0.5-5 mg/mL의 농도일 때 물 및 에탄올 추출물 모두 세포의 생장에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나 세포에 대한 독성이 없다고 판단되었다. 3T3-L1 지방세포의 지방축적에 미치는 영향을 1 mg/mL 농도로 조사하였을 때 에탄올 추출물은 지방축적을 저해 하였으나 물 추출물은 저해력이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 0.5-5 mg/mL로 농도를 달리하여 조사한 결과 두 추출물 모두 농도 의존적으로 지방축적을 저해하는 것으로 나타났으며 물 추출물과 에탄올 추출물 농도가 5 mg/mL 일 때 각가 85.22% 75.35%의 지방축적을 보였다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 늙은 호박의 물 및 70% 에탄올 추출물이 3T3-L1 지방세포의 분화를 억제하였으나 다른 많은 천연물에 비해 다소 높은 농도에서 효과가 나타났다. 또한 총 폴리페놀 함량조사 결과, 물 추출물에서 최대 $46.54{\pm}0.02$ mg을 함유한 것으로 나타나 늙은 호박은 제약 원료로는 제한점이 있으나 식품으로 꾸준히 섭취 할 경우 항비만 소재로서의 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Pumpkins have considerable variation in nutrient contents depending on the cultivation environment, species, or part. In this study, the general chemical compositions and some bioactive components, such as tocopherols, carotenoids, and ${\beta}$-sitosterol, were analyzed in three major species of pumpkin ($Cucurbitaceae$ $pepo$, $C.$ $moschata$, and $C.$ $maxima$) grown in Korea and also in three parts (peel, flesh, and seed) of each pumpkin species. $C.$ $maxima$ had significantly more carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fiber than $C.$ pepo or $C.$ $moschata$ (P<0.05). The moisture content as well as the amino acid and arginine contents in all parts of the pumpkin was highest in $C.$ $pepo$. The major fatty acids in the seeds were palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids. $C.$ $pepo$ and $C.$ $moschata$ seeds had significantly more ${\gamma}$-tocopherol than $C.$ $maxima$, whose seeds had the highest ${\beta}$-carotene content. $C.$ $pepo$ seeds had significantly more ${\beta}$-sitosterol than the others. Nutrient compositions differed considerably among the pumpkin species and parts. These results will be useful in updating the nutrient compositions of pumpkin in the Korean food composition database. Additional analyses of various pumpkins grown in different years and in different areas of Korea are needed.

최근 애호박은 수확 중 표면 손상을 방지하고, 유통 기간을 연장하기 위해 PET(polyethylene terephthalte)와 PE(polyethylene)를 접합시켜 만든 플라스틱 봉지(두께 0.1mm)를 과실에 덮어씌우는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 플라스틱 봉지의 피복이 애호박의 품질 향상과 유통기간 연장에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 애호박의 플라스틱 봉지씌우기가 과실 수량과 과실 길이에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 무처리에 비해 과실 무게가 가볍고 주당 과실수가 증가하였다. 이는 봉지씌우기를 함으로써 과실 비대가 제한되어 착과 수가 늘어났기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 플라스틱 봉지씌우기는 애호박의 균일성을 높이고, 저장기간 중 과실의 감모율과 연화를 감소시켰다. 따라서 애호박의 품질을 향상시키고, 저장기간을 연장하는 수단으로 재배 중에 플라스틱 봉지씌우기가 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

season of 2000. The disease infection usually started from flower, peduncle and young fruits, then moved to flower stalk, stem and leaves. At first, the lesions started with water-soaked, rapidly softened, and then the area gradually expanded. In severely affected film house, the rate of infected fruits reached to 28.6%. Numerous sporangiospores were formed on the diseased fruits, flower stalk, stem and leaves. Most of the sporangiospores were appeare to be rapidly dispersed in the air. The mycelia grew on the surface of host and formed stolons. Colonies on potato dextrose agar were cottony at first brownish black at maturity. Sporangia were 125.3${\times}$294.2 ${\mu}$m. globose or sub-globose with somewhat flattened base. White at first the black, many spored, and are never overhanging. Sporangiophores were 2.7-6.8${\times}$12.9-33.9 ${\mu}$m, smooth-walled, non-septate, light brown, simple, long, arising in groups of 3-5 from stolons opposite rhizoids. Sporangiophores were 8.6-21.1${\times}$6.41-1.7 ${\mu}$m, irregular, round, oval, elongate, angular and brownish-black streaked. Columella were 63.8${\times}$140.4 ${\mu}$m. brownish gray, umberella-shaped when dehisced. The causal organism was identified as Rhizopus stolonifer Lind on the basis of the morphological characteristics of the fungus. Rhizopus soft rot on squash (Cucurbita moschata) caused by the fungi has not been previously reported in Korea.

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) seed is rich in protein and sulfur-containing amino acids. Tofu is a protein gel made from soybean, which is rich in lysine but lacking in sulfur-containing amino acids. This study was conducted to investigate the use of pumpkin seeds in tofu manufacture and to determine its quality and texture characteristics. Soybean was substituted with pumpkin seed to obtain pumpkin seed tofu at the following ratios: 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% (P10, P30, P50 and P70). Tofu manufactured only with soybean was used as a control (Con). The higher rate of pumpkin seed substitution significantly decreased the moisture content and yield rate (p<0.05). In contrast, pH value and turbidity were significantly increased with the increase in the amount of pumpkin seed (p<0.05). The L-value (81.74~79.04), a-value (-0.19~-3.89) and b-value (12.40~9.84) of samples significantly decreased with the amount of pumpkin seed (p<0.05). No significant difference in syneresis was found among the samples (p<0.05). The hardness tended to decrease with the increase in the amount of pumpkin seed. The microstructure analysis revealed that the pore size of pumpkin seed tofu was smaller than that of Con. These results suggest that the pumpkin seed protein is a useful ingredient in the manufacture of tofu. Increasing the pumpkin seed substitution levels improves the texture of tofu.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of drying methods on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.). Pumpkins were dried naturally ($25^{\circ}C$), hot-air drying ($60^{\circ}C$), and throgh freeze drying ($-40^{\circ}C$) methods. The moisture activities were highest in the freeze dried group. The soluble solid showed no significant differences among all groups. The pH was highest in the freeze dried group. The L values were increasing in freeze dried group, whereas the b values were increased in hot-air dried group. The free sugar was highest in freeze dried group. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of hot-air dried group was higher than those of the other groups. The ABTS radical scavenging activities were highest with hot-air dried group and freeze dried group. It was established that hot-air dried group is the most effective drying method for the production of high quality dried pumpkin.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) seed meal (PSM) on laying hens' performance, quality, fatty acids, cholesterol, antioxidant compounds and shelf life of eggs. Methods: Eighty Tetra SL laying hens, 50-week-old, were randomly divided into two equal groups, having 10 replicates with 4 birds in each. The control (CON) treatment was fed with basal diet, while experimental treatment was fed a diet with 9% PSM, for a 6 week period. Results: Dietary PSM significantly decreased average daily feed intake (p<0.05), with no significant effect on other performance parameters. The PSM, enriched the eggs with polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially α linolenic acid (0.33 vs 0.21 g/100 g) and linoleic acid (20.65 vs 18.37 g/100 g), whereas it reduced the amount of arachidonic acid with 3.91% and n-6/n-3 ratio in PSM eggs compared with CON. The inclusion of 9% PSM significantly (p<0.05) diminished the cholesterol concentration in yolk with 11.31% and in egg with 10.38%, in respect to the CON samples. The significantly (p<0.05) higher concentration of polyphenols and antioxidant compounds, determined in PSM eggs, proved to be effective on shelf life of eggs preserved at refrigerator (5℃) and room temperature (21℃) for 28 days, by delaying the lipid oxidation and protein denaturation. This effect was reflected in significantly (p<0.05) higher Haugh unit in eggs stored 28 days at 21℃ and lower albumen pH values for the overall storage time, both at 5℃ and 21℃, proving the antioxidant effect of pumpkin. Conclusion: Dietary PSM supplementation was significantly effective on average daily feed intake and egg quality by increasing some fatty acids while lowering the cholesterol concentration. Also, PSM proved to be effective improving shelf life of eggs for 28 days storage time.
