We investigated the local climatological characteristics of the mountain adjacent the Dongyeong herb garden in Chilgok. We established one set of automatic weather system (AWS) on a hill where development of herb garden is in progress. The observations were continued for 2 years(2013. 07-2015.06). In this study, we analyzed the observed data comparing the data of Gumi meteorological observatory (GMO). The results showed that the air temperature(relative humidity) of Dongyeong herb garden were lower(higher) than those of GMO. Especially the differences are more during warm climate season. It means that the gaps of thermal environment between two points are mainly caused by the evaporation effects of forest. In addition, we analyzed the warmth indices(warmth index and coldness index) with the observed air temperature. The warmth and coldness indices indicate about 107 and -12, respectively. The values correspond to warm temperature climate.

On the mutagenicity induced by 3-amino-l,4-dimethyl-5-H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol (Trp-P-1) and 2-aminotluorene (2-AF), the antimutagenic effects of edible muntain herb juices were examined by the Ames assay using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. Juices prepared from aralia bud, small water dropwort, mugwort, roots of belltlower and sedum didn't have mutagenicity. Most of sample juices showed the antimutagenicity. Especially, juices prepared from aralia bud, small water dropwort and mugwort were found to possess strong antimutagenic effects. Sedum was moderatly effective and root of belltlower had little effect on mutagenicity caused by Trp-P1 and 2-AF. The experimental results with TA98 were similar to those with TA100 in the antimutagenicity test of edible mountain herb juices. In this study, antimutagenicity on Trp-P-1 was more effective than that on 2-AF.

The effect of irradiation of heat treatment either alone or in combination on the shelf-life of mixed mountain edible herb drinks (MMEHD) was investigated during storage. The MMEHD made from fresh Spuriopinella bracycarpar, Ligularia fischeri and Aster scaber was gamma -irradiated at doses of 0.1 kGy to 1 kGy. Microbial population, color change, vitamin C content, and sensory quality were evaluated during storage at 4, 25 and 35oC. Heated MMEHD induced the growth of total counts, mold and yeast as compared to the non-heated MMEHD. While some reduction in the microbial growth was observed in 1kGy-irradiated groups of both with or without heating. In both groups, L and b values decreased, but a value increased during storage. Also, heating drinks showed increased L and b values and reduced a value, compared to the non-heating drinks. Non-heated drinks showed 82% loss of vitamin C, whereas 25% loss of vitamin C was occurred in the irradiated drinks during storage at 4oC for 4days. In the meanwhile, non-irradiated heating drinks showed 99% loss of vitamin C, but irradiated heating drinks showed 58-65% reduction of vitamin C. Non-irradiated drinks without heating showed more bright color than irradiated ones, but irradiated drinks showed more enhanced brightness during storage. Also, irradiated drinks showed better falvor, sensory quality, and overall acceptability than non-irradiated drinks.

Soy sauce was fermented with the addition of mountain edible herbs, Ligularia fischeri, Codonopsis lanceolata and Symphytum officinale. In general, the total nitrogen content of soy sauce was increased with the increment of the amount of added mountain herbs. The mineral contents of calcium and potassium in the soy sauce after four months of aging at 20% substitution of Codonopsis lanceolata were increased by 1.3 and 1.5 times, respectively. With 10% substitution of mountain herb mixtures, the contents of tyrosine and arginine were increased by about 2 times as compared to the control. In the Rec assay system, antimutagenic effect of soy sauce with 10 and 20% substitution of Codonopsis lanceolata was higher than other samples. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that overall acceptability of soy sauce with 7% substitution of Codonopsis landeolata and 5% of mountain herb mixture exceeded other groups of samples.

This study surveyed Abies koreana to identify the correlation between its vegetation structure according to its slope direction and seedling establishment in a bid to build basic research data on the changes and conservation of the A. koreana in Hallasan Mountain. The findings of its vegetation structure revealed that in both areas, Importance value was given to the A. koreana for its tree layer, the Taxus cuspidata for its shrub layer, and the Sasa quelpaertensis for its herb layer. However, in the Youngsil area with the tree layer, high importance was given to deciduous broad-leaved trees such as Prunus maximowiczii, Quercus mongolica, and the young species of the A. koreana in the shrub layer that can maintain the A. koreana forest's greater importance in the Jindallebat than in the Youngsil. Thus, the A. koreana forest in the Jindallebat is believed to lastlonger. The findings of correlation between the quantity of seedlings and their location by area revealed that in each tiny quadrat, the A. koreana seedling averaged 5.3 in the Youngsil and 2.9 in the Jindallebat. Both areas were all found to have a positive correlation in terms of rock exposure ratio and dead tree ratio as well as a negative correlation with regard to the cover degree of S. quelpaertensis, the canopy gap, the total vegetation, and the herb layer. It was found that the cover degree of the herb layer in the Youngsil and the S. quelpaertensis in the Jindallebat had the largest impact on the A. koreana seedlings.

본 실험은 콤부차의 발효시 에너지원으로 첨가되는 당(sucrose) 대신 꾸지뽕(Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau; silkworm thorn) 과일 발효액을 첨가하여 꾸지뽕-콤부차의 기능성을 구명하고자 하였다. 대조구인 콤부차는 끓여서 식힌 물 900mL에 홍차 2.4g을 넣어 한시간 동안 추출한 후 초기당도가 10°Bx가 되도록 sucrose를 첨가하였고, 처리구는 sucrose대신 꾸지뽕 과일 무게 대 sucrose의 비율을 1 대 0.9의 비율로 조제하여 발효시킨 꾸지뽕 발효액(당도 50°Bx)을 10°Bx가 되도록 희석하여 첨가하였다. 여기에 발효균인 SCOBY를 첨가한 후 실온에 3주간 보관하면서 1주일 간격으로 시료를 채취하여 총폴리페놀성 화합물 및 카테킨류 함량, 항산화 활성 및 인체 정상 폐세포주인 MRC-5와 폐암세포주인 A549의 세포 증식에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. 발효 3주 동안 채취한 꾸지뽕-콤부차를 MRC-5 세포에 처리하였을 때 발효 2주까지는 꾸지뽕-콤부차가 대조구에 비해 약 10~30% 세포 증식효과를 보였고 발표 3주째에는 유사한 증식효과를 보였다. 폐암세포주 A549에 처리시에는 발효 2주째 대조구에 비해 낮은 증식율을 보였으나 그 차이는 크지 않았다. 이 결과는 꾸지뽕-콤부차가 인체 폐세포 증식을 촉진하나 폐암세포의 증식을 크게 억제하지는 않음을 의미한다. 총폴리페놀성화합물 함량은 대조구의 경우 발효기간이 경과함에 따라 증가하는 반면 꾸지뽕-콤부차는 조제직후 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 함량을 보이다 서서히 감소하였는데 발효 2주째 대조구와 유사한 수준에 도달하였으며 3주째에는 대조구에 비해 낮은 함량을 보였다. 카테킨류(Epigallocatechin, Epigallocatechin gallate, 그리고 Epicatechin gallate, epicatechin)는 총 페놀성화합물과는 반대의 경향을 보였는데, 발표 2주까지는 꾸지뽕-콤부차의 함량이 유의적으로 높았다가 발표 3주째 크게 낮아졌다. 활성산소 제거능은 발효 2주째까지는 대조구에 비해 낮았으나 3주째 유의적으로 높아져 꾸지뽕-콤부차의 항산화활성은 카테킨류 함량에 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 기능성분 함량과 MRC-5 증식에 관한 상관분석시 총풀리페놀함량이 세포증식에 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다.

Potential mutagenicity of ten heated edible mountain herbs were examined with spore recassay, Ames test and DNA breaking test. Samples of edible mountain herbs were prepared with water extraction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. With the rec-assay, no significant mutagengic activity could be obtained from all of the samples, but among the eight of metal ions added to sample solution, $Pb^{2+}$ to R. crispus heated juice, $Zn^{2+}$ to L. fischeri and S. bracycarpa heated juice increased mutagenic activity of the samples. With the Ames test and DNA breaking test, all of the samples did not show mutagenicity. However, breaking action was activated on heated L. fischeri, P. japonicus. A. triphylla and A. tataricus juices in the presence of 25mM $Cu^{2+}$. But heated A. elata, H. aurantiaca, A. triphylla, S. bracycarpa and A. scaber juices were inactivated in the presence of 25mM $Fe^{2+}$. Desmutagenic activities against benzo$({\alpha})$pyrene significantly increased as increasing concentration of the heated edible mountain herb juices.

The study was carried out to select natural environmental factors that affect damage to hiking paths and to provide directions for facility management of hiking paths by a logistic regression analysis. The study sites is a total of 123 sample sites that located in the Baekdudaegan Guropo-Gisaengnyeong hiking trails. The variables used in the analysis model included mountain trail damage, forest type, herb of soil and crown density obtained through a field survey and included slope, soil and rock exposure obtained through FGIS. A logistic regression analysis of 43 sites and 80 undeveloped sites, 4 elements were selected for slope, herb of soil, soil and rock exposure. The slope and the herb of soil were positively correlated and the exposure of rock was negative. Soil has shown a positive correlation with its low missile and high sand ratio Saturn. Therefore, the management of the mountain hiking paths facilities should be established and restored considering the slope, herb of soil, soil and rock exposure.
