To investigate the food preservative effects of leaf mustard Dolsan(Brassica juncea), the pretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan were added to Kimchi and the results are as following. pH of Kimchi added leaf mustard Dolsan extracts were lower than that of control at initial stage, but after 6 days of fermentation, pH was higher in order of Kimchi added the pretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan (hydrolyzed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, PEM), the unpretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan(UEM) and control. The total number of bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly at the initial stage of fermentation and reached plateau at 2 days of fermentation. The number of bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of Kimchi added leaf mustard Dolsan extracts were lower than that of control ,a and antimicrobial activity of PEM in Kimchi was higher than that of UEM. After 2 days fermentation, sensery value of Kimchi added PEM was more excellent than that of control.

Mustard leaf kimchi added different ratios of pumpkin powder(P) and green tea powder(G) were investigated by measuring changes of physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 5℃. The pH and total acidity were changed slowly until 20 days, and then changed rapidly for 20∼40 days in all mustard leaf kimchi groups. The pH and acidity of mustard leaf kimchi added 0.5% G was the most slowly changed compared to the other groups. Reducing sugar content was highest in mustard leaf kimchi added 0.5% P at early stage of fermentation, but the reduing sugar content of this mustard leaf kimchi group was decreased more rapidly than those of the other groups during fermentation. The numbers of lactic acid bacteria and total bacteria were highest in 0.5% P added group and lowest in 0.5% G added group. The mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G was relatively high in number of Leuconostoc sp., on the contrary low in Lactobacillus sp. compared to the other groups during fermentation. Changes of Hunter's color values, especially yellowness, and hardness were smaller in each mustard leaf kimchi added 0.5% G, and 0.3% P and 0.2% G than the other groups. Sensory scores of taste, odor and overall acceptability were highest in mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G. Based on these results, it is suggested that mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G was the best group among mustard leaf kimchi groups.

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the desensitization of cutaneous receptors and the conduction block of the afferent nerves induced by direct application of allyl isotheocyanate (mustard oil) to the receptive field (RF) or onto the afferent nerve, respectively. Dorsal horn cell responses to mechanical stimulations of RF were completely suppressed when mustard oil was applied to either the afferent nerve or the whole area of RF. C-fiber responses of dorsal horn cells were more susceptive to mustard oil than A-fiber activities. This was confirmed by the experiment in which the compound action potentials recorded from rat tibial nerve before and after topical application of mustard oil were compared. The higher the concentration of mustard oil and the longer the application time, the more powerful desensitization or conduction block was induced. From the results of the present study, it is suggested that the desensitization of the afferent fiber and sensory receptors induced by mustard oil results mainly from the conduction block of C-fiber in the primary afferent nerve.

Mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi(Kalt.) plays a key role in determining the productivity of rapeseed-mustard. This pest alone attributes 30-70% losses in yield potential in different agro climatic zones with a mean loss of 54.2% in India. Considering the extent of damage caused by the pest, the present experiment was conducted at Pulses and Oilseeds Research Station during 1992-93 to 1994-95 to study the migratory nature of mustard aphid by trapping them in yellow colour pan tray and their simultaneous growth and development on three different genotypes. The temperature during noon hours is the predominant factor to govern the appearance of alate mustard aphid in rapeseed-mustard field. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that temperature and relative humidity played an important role for its development. The variety RW white flower glossy stem harboured minimum number of aphid in comparison to other two varieties B 9 and T6342. The population reached a peak of 61.28 aphids/10 cm central twig during $6^{th}$ standard week irrespective of varieties.

This study investigated the inhibitory effects of sea mustard on high-fat diet-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida) powder, sea mustard ethanol extract, and sea mustard ethanol-extracted residue were tested. The ethanol extracted residue had the most beneficial anti-hyperlipidemic activity. Alginate in the sea mustard was considered to be the key component. The ethanol-extracted residue of sea mustard also had antioxidant activity, which may be effective in preventing hyperlipidemia by increasing the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase, which can remove active oxygen from the bloodstream.

In this study, we have attempted to characterize the effects of encapsulated mustard oil with regard to the extension of the shelf life of kimchi. The quantity of mustard oil or encapsulated mustard oil added to the brined cabbage in this study was 0.05%(w/w). Overall, the fermentation processes in the encapsulated mustard oil-added kimchi (EMO) and mustard oil-added kimchi (MO) occurred at a slower rate than in the controls. The periods during which the MO and EMO kimchi samples were edible were prolonged for more than two weeks, according to measurements of pH, total acidity, and microbial changes. The overall acceptability of EMO was superior to MO throughout the entirety of the fermentation period. Sensory evaluation verified that EMO yielded a more favorable product than the MO and control varieties. Encapsulated mustard oil can be employed as a natural food additive to prolong the shelf life of kimchi, via an induced delay of the fermentation process.

Effects of mustard seed (Brassica juncea) on the preservation of soup for Naengmyon were investigated, and morphological changes of E. coli treated with extract of mustard seed were examined. Titratable acidity of soup for Naengmyon treated with mustard seed was higher than that of control at initial stage, but became lower than control after 24 hours of preservation. The number of bacteria and E. coli in soup for Naengmyon added with mustard seed was lower than that of control, and the more mustard seed was added, the less bacteria and E. coli were observed. The content of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased during preservation of soup for Naengmyon. The VBN content of soup for Naengmyon added with mustard seed was higher than that of control, and the more mustard seed was added, the lower VBN was detected. Scanning eletron microscopys of E. coli treated with extract of mustard seed showed that cell surface was distorted with shrinked cell mass.

Effects of mustard seed(Brassica juncea) on the preservation of raw gizzard-shad slice were investigated, morphological change of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus treated with water-extract of mustard seed was examined, the results are as following. The pH of raw gizzard-shad slice soaked in water with mustard seed slightly increased during preservation, and the pH was in inverse proportion to the added amount of mustard seed. The number of bacteria and Vibrio of raw gizzard-shad slice treated with mustard seed were lower than control, and the higher the mustard seed concentration, the lower the number of bacteria and Vibrio. The TMA-N content of raw gizzard-shad slice gradually increased during preservation, and the TMA-N was in inverse proportion to the added amount of mustard seed. Scanning electron microscopy of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus treated with water extract of mustard seed showed that surface membrane was destroyed with expended ellipsoidal shape.

Powdery mildew of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), caused by Erysiphe cruciferarum, is emerging as major problem in India. All the Indian mustard cultivars presently grown in India are highly susceptible to powdery mildew and so far no resistance source has been reported. In this study, with an aim to identify resistant source, 1,020 Indian mustard accessions were evaluated against E. cruciferarum PMN isolate, at Wellington, The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India under natural hot spot conditions. The study identified one accession (RDV 29) with complete resistance against E. cruciferarum PMN isolate for the first time, which was consistent in five independent evaluations. Genetic analysis of F₁, F₂ and backcross populations obtained from the cross RSEJ 775 (highly susceptible) × RDV 29 (highly resistant) for two season revealed that the resistance is governed by two genes with semi-dominant and gene dosage effect. Further, a new disease rating system using six scales (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) has also been proposed in this study to score powdery mildew based on progress of fungal growth in different plant parts of the F₂ population. The outcome of this study viz. newly identified powdery mildew-resistant Indian mustard accession (RDV 29), information on inheritance of resistance and the newly developed disease rating scale will provide the base for development of powdery mildew-resistant cultivars of Indian mustard.

Antioxidative effects of crude chlorophylls and carotenoids extracts from mustard leaf kimchi on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate, egg phosphatidyl choline (EPC) liposome and superoxide anion radical were examined. The extracts were found to inhibit the increase of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and show the effect of antioxidative activity on the liposomal phospholipid membrane. The oxidation index of EPC liposome was markedly decreased in the prescence of the extracts. The antioxidative activity of the extracts from mustard leaf kimchi was not related with fermentation period of the kimchi. The extracts from mustard leaf showed the similar antioxidative activity of $\alpha$-tocopherol within in the given level of addition. However, the oxidation index. When the effect of the extracts from mustard leaf kimchi on free radical scavenging was observed by the determination of the superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, it had similar value to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol.
