From the hot water extract of bracken(Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum), a Korean win edible plant, anti-complementary acidic polysaccharides were Isolated. Crude polysaccharide fraction(HPA-1) was obtain ed by methanol reflux, ethanol precipitation, dialysis, and lyophilization. HPA-1 contained 81.80% of total sugar, 30.40% of uronic acid, and 15.60cA of protein. HPA 1 was purified consecutively by cetavlon fractionation and chromatography including ion exchange nth DEAE-Sepharose CL 6B and gel permeation with Sephadex G-100 and Sepharose CL-6B. HPA-2- IVa and HPA-Va-2 were nearly homogeneous on HPLC and had 500,000 and 560,000 daltons of molecular weights, respectively. HPA-2-Wa consisted of fucose, galacturonic acid, and glucuronic acid at the molar ratio of 1.40 : 0.97 : 1.88. HPA-2-Va 2 was composed of rhamnose, galactose, and galacturonic acid at the molar ratio of 1.00 : 1.38 : 1.39. The polysaccharides were found to activate the C3 component both In the presence and In the absence of Ca2+ through the crossed-immunoelectrophoresis suggesting that those Involved in both classical and alternative complement pathway.

An ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnosidase (EC 3.2.1.40.), which transforms quercitrin to quercetin, was purified from Fusobacterium K-60, a human intestinal anaerobic bacterium. The specific activity of the purified ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnosidase was 2.89 mol/min/mg protein. ${\alpha}$-L-Rhamnosidase, whose molecular size was 170 kDa by gel filtration, was composed of four subunits ($M_r$ 41,000 Da) with pI and optimal pH values of 5.2 and 5.5-7.0, respectively. The apparent $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for p-nitrophenyl-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside and quercitrin were determined to be 0.057 mM and 3.4 mol/min/mg, and 0.077 mM and 5.0 mol/min/mg, respectively. This enzyme was strongly inhibited by $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$, L-rhamnose, and p-chlormercuriphenylsulfonic acid. These findings suggest that the biochemical properties and substrate specificity of the purified enzyme are different from those of the previously purified ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnosidase. This is the first reported purification of quercitrin-hydrolyzing ${\alpha}$-L-rhamnosidase from intestinal bacteria.

A novel PVC membrane sensor for perindopril based on perindopril-phosphotungstate ion pair complex was prepared. The influence of membrane composition (i.e. percent of PVC, plasticizer, ion-pair complex, and kind of plasticizer), inner solution, pH of test solution and foreign cations on the electrode performance was investigated. The optimized membrane demonstrates Nernstian response ($30.9{\pm}1.0$ mV per decade) for perindopril cations over a wide linear range from $9.0{\times}10^{-7}$ to $1{\times}10^{-2}$ M at $25^{\circ}C$. The potentiometric response is independent of the pH in the range of 4.0-9.5. The proposed sensor has the advantages of easy preparation, fast response time. The selectivity coefficients indicate excellent selectivity for perindopril over many common cations (e.g., $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, rhamnose, maltose, glycine and benzamide. The practical applications of this electrode was demonstrated by measuring the concentrations of perindopril in pure solutions and pharmaceutical preparations with satisfactory results.

Salmonella Typhimurium is a virulent pathogen for human and animal. We studied serotypes, biochemical characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance of S. Typhimurium isolated from diseased pigs in Gyeongbuk province over 1998 to 2008. One hundred sixteen isolates were identified as S. Typhimurium by biochemical characteristics and serotypes from 90 farms. The biochemical characteristics of S. Typhimurium isolates was production of $H_2S$, indole-negative, fermentation of mannitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, inositol, rhamnose, and maltose, and ornithine decarboxylase. At antimicrobial susceptibility test, the majority of isolates were highly susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, while were highly resistant streptomycin, cephalothin, enrofloxacin, nalidixic acid, apramycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline. The isolates were divided into 65 resistant patterns and 47 of the isolates were shown as a DT104 ASSSuT resistant phenotype.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of nonstarchy polysaccharides in Korean ginseng, (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer). The results obtained are as follows. 1. The total sugar content of ginseng roots were decreased with increasing the cultural period. On the other hand, the crude fiber content was increased with that of the ginseng leaves or stems. But the crude fiber in root was much less than that of leaves and stems. 2. The dietary fiber content of ginseng root on 5 years old was 14.20% as neutral detergent fiber, 9.08% as acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose 5.12%, cellulose 7.98% and lignin of 1.10%, respectively. 3. Much more pectin was found in ginseng roots which was cultivated for shooter Period. And it was contained much more in the root than in the leaves and stems. 4. ginseng hemicellulose content in root was 5% to 10%. It was decreased with increasing: cultivated period. Hemicellulose was constituted of xylose, arabinose, glucose, rhamnose and xylose of these sugars was the predominant. 5. X-ray diffraction Pattern of ginseng cellulose showed maximum intensity at tile interplanar angle of 4.1$^{\circ}$.

The present study was conducted to investigate biochemical properties, antimicrobial drug susceptibilities and epidemiology of 71 stranins of Salmonella pullorum isolated from about 110 diseased chickens of 23 poultry farms located in Cheongjoo, Cheongweon and Koesan county, Chungbuk province, from August 1991 to March 1993. The isolates were identified as S. pullorum by serological and biochemical means. S. pullorum were mostly isolated in chicken under 3weeks of age, and also isolated in 58, 72 days and 23 weeks of age. According to breeds, most of the cultures were isolated in colored broiler chicken (14 to 23 cases), and also variously isolated in native chicken, white broiler chicken, black bone chicken and laying hen. According to organs of diseased chickens, most of the cultures were isolated in liver (37 to 71 strains), and also variously isolated in spleen, lungs, blood, heart, oviduct and brain. According to media used for primary culture from organs, most of the cultures were isolated purely with SS and BHI medium. The majority of biochemical properties of S. pullorum isolated from diseased chickens were identical to those of the standard strains, but in the properties of rhamnose, and arabinose fermentation, some isolates were negative in spite of positive in those of standard S. pullorum. All the isolates were highly susceptible to colistin, amikacin, kanamycin, gentamicin, carbenicillin, ampicillin, sulfamethxazole, cephalothin, tetracycline and piperacillin regardless of isolated years, but no susceptible to penicillin, erythromycin, vancomycin, tylosin and novobiocin.

The physicochemical and in vitro physiological properties of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from wax gourd (Benincasa hispida) pulp and peel were investigated. The pulp was composed of 11.4% SDF and 24.3% insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), while the peel contained 3.2% SDF and 43.3% IDE The predominant sugar in the SDF of the wax gourd pulp and peel was uronic acid, followed by galactose and rhamnose. The SDFs from the wax gourd pulp and peel gave similar elution patterns, with 4 main neutral sugar and uronic acid peaks eluted by 0.4, 0.5, 1, and 2 M ammonium acetate buffer. The pulp SDF had a much higher glucose retardation index (GRI) than the peel SDF for all measurement times. The pulp SDF showed strong growth-inhibiting activity against Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens, whereas the peel SDF produced strong growth-promoting activity against Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Lactobacillus brevis when compared to glucose.

Chemical components and some physical proeprties of fresh, defrosted and dried yams(Dioscoreab batatas) were determined to obtain basic data for high quality yam processing. Fresh yam showed 81.79% moisture and 15.24% N-free extract. The cohesiveness and adhesiveness of defrosted yam homogenate were significantly higher than those of fresh yam homogenate. Free sugars of yam were mainly composed of sucrose, rhamnose, fructose and glucose, and the contents of fructose and glucose were apparently decreased by hot air drying. Linoleic(45.64%), oleic(8.32%), and arachidic acids(7.40%) were major fatty acids of yam. Hot air drying caused a decrease in unsaturated fatty acids and an increase in saturated acids. Hot air-dried yam powder showed higher gelatinization properties than freeze-dryed yam powder, such asinitial pasting temperature, temperature at maximum viscosity, and viscosity at different parameters. Hot air-dried yam powder showed higher Hunter parameter b and ΔE values and lower L value than freeze-dried one.

In this paper, we have isolated six phenolic compounds, such as (+)-catechin (1), taxifolin (2), taxifolin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-(+)-xylose (3), quercetin (4), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L(+)-rhamnose (quercitrin) (5), apigenin-8-C-rhamnosyl-(1'''${\rightarrow}$2'')-glucoside (2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin) (6) from the EtOAc(Ethyl Acetate) and $H_2O$ soluble fractions of Japanese anise(Illicium anisatum L) leaves and twigs. Also, we have evaluated antioxidative and antiviral activity for each isolated compound. The antioxidative test was DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity. According to the experimental results, all of the isolated compounds indicated the increased radical scavenging activities as the concentration increases and most of the isolated compounds indicated generally good antioxidative values compare to the controls, ascorbic acid and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. In the antiviral activities, all of the isolated compounds had no potentials in rhinovirus 1B (HRV 1B). But in enterovirus 71 (EV 71) and Influenza virus A/PR/8 (Influenza PR8), only quercetin (4) indicated the good antiviral activity compare to the control. Based on the above results, we found that the phenolic compounds of Japanese anise may be applied for one of the natural biomass sources that can be used as an antioxidant and an antiviral substance.
