This study was conducted to evaluate the effect on quality characteristics of grass-fed cow’s milk (GM) and conventional feed-fed cow’s milk (CM) with various conditions of non-thermal high-pressure processing (HPP) sterilization process. The sterilized GM and CM stored at 5℃ and 10℃ for 14 days and their quality characteristics during storage was evaluated. The pH and titratable acidity changes of HPP sterilized milk were maintained acceptable level 6.7-6.8, 0.14-0.16%, respectively. HPP sterilization was efficient in the reduction of total bacterial population to decrease the level of 4-7 Log CFU/ml compare to those of unsterilized control milk, and coliform bacteria was not detected in the HPP sterilized milk. Non-thermal HPP sterilization processing was not affected milk fatty acid composition compare to those of low temperature long time process (LTLT) sterilized milk. GM has lower ratio of n-3:n-6 unsaturated fatty acid level than those of CM. In the sensory evaluation of GM and commercial milk products, overall consumer acceptance of HPP sterilized GM was higher than CM and LTLT commercial product. In conclusion, the effects of HPP was comparable with conventional LTLT sterilization process to control undesirable microorganism in the milk products with minumal nutritional and chemical changes.

The purpose of this study was to examine the antioxidant properties resulting from high-pressure homogenization of wheat bran. For this purpose, the researcher compared the radicals clearance of DPPH and ABTS, the ferrousion chelating effects, and the contents of the surface-reactive phenol compounds. In the course of this study, it was possible to reduce the particle size of the wheat bran effectively by means of high-pressure homogenization. This also resulted in structural changes, such as changes in the cellular structure of wheat bran, dissipating the cellulose matrix. It was found that this process, in turn, caused the phenol compounds which were entrapped inside the cellulose matrix or bound by polysaccharides to be released, affecting the antioxidation. As the intensity of high-pressure homogenization process increased, the radical clearance of DPPH and ABTS, as well as the surface reactive phenol compound, increased in return, while the ferrous-ion chelating effect decreased without any statistical significance, however (p > 0.05). Therefore, it would be safe to conclude that high-pressure homogenization could be an effective solution to increasing the antioxidant properties of wheat bran, which, in turn, could be used as a functional material (a natural antioxidant) in food industries

In this study, the behavior of densification of copper powders during high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature is investigated using the finite element method. The simulation results show that the center of the workpiece is the first to reach the true density of copper during the compressive stage because the pressure is higher at the center than the periphery. Subsequently, whole workpiece reaches true density after compression due to the high pressure. In addition, the effective strain is increased along the radius during torsional stage. After one rotation, the periphery shows that the effective strain is increased up to 25, which is extensive deformation. These high pressure and severe strain do not only play a key role in consolidation of copper powders but also make the matrix harder by grain refinement.

본 연구에서는 지용성 생리활성 물질인 커큐민의 가용화를 통해 실제 식품에 적용하기 위하여 고압 균질기(microfluidizer)를 이용한 나노크기 입자를 생산하였으며,제조된 나노에멀젼의 입자특성을 검토하였다. 제조된 나노에멀젼의 여러 가지 물리적 특성은 유화제 종류 및 농도,분산상과 연속상의 혼합비율, 고압 균질기의 압력 및 통과횟수의 영향을 받았다. 일반적으로 연속상에서의 유화제농도가 높을수록, 고압 균질기 압력 및 통과횟수가 높을수록 입자크기 및 제타전위 값이 감소하는 경향을 보였으며,입자분산지수 또한 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 여러 조건에서 제조된 나노에멀젼의 저장 기간 동안 입자크기 변화를측정한 결과, 물리적으로 매우 안정한 상태를 유지하였다.따라서, 본 연구를 통해 고압균질기를 이용하여 입자분포가 좁은 커큐민 함유 나노에멀젼을 제조할 수 있었다. 추후 연구에서는 음료와 같은 실제 식품에 적용하고 상업적으로 이용하기 위해서는 열, 냉동, pH, 염 등의 외부환경에 대한 물리화학적 안정성을 검토해야 할 것이다.

We investigated the quality characteristics and resulting sensory evaluation of semi-dried silver pomfret treated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing and brining for 14 days at 4 and 10˚C to evaluate the effects of treatment with HHP processing. HHP treatment and brining could cause compaction of fibers and the space between muscle. The G' values of all samples were higher than the G" values and the tan Δ values of the tissue ranged from 0.222 to 0.251 with no further changes observed during storage. HHP treatment and brining significantly increased the total color difference, and the HHP and brine-treated group scored significantly higher than the others in terms of sensory evaluation. HHP treatment combined with brining could have a significant effect on the quality characteristics of the semi-dried products and their storage stability, and it is suggested from the results that they may have the potential to satisfy the requirements to produce commercially marketable food grade products.

The effects of pressure and number of passes upon Biji paste properties using a high-pressure homogenizer (HPH)were investigated. A hydrocolloid of Biji was processed with a HPH at 15,000 or 25,000 psi and with 1 or 2 passes.The hydrocolloid was assessed for dietary fiber, protein, sugar content, water absorption index (WAI), water solu-bility index (WSI), rheological character, and distribution stability. As pass number and pressure increased, solubledietary fiber, sugar content, WAI, and distribution stability also increased, whereas particle size decreased. As aresult, processing at 25,000 psi and 2 passes is considered as a proper treatment for processing quality. In breadmaking with HPH treated Biji, volume, hardness, and cohesiveness of bread increased, while density decreased. Theoptimum processing condition for bread with HPH treated Biji was determined by a design expert program. Nineexperimental points were selected, and wheat flour (91-95%) and HPH Biji (5-9%) were chosen as the independentvariables. The optimum formulation of bread using the numerical analysis was set at 94.2% wheat flour and 5.8%HPH Biji with a 0.725 desirability value.

Flexible BaTiO3 films as dielectric materials for high energy density capacitors were deposited on polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The growth behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of theflexible BaTiO3 films were dependent on the sputtering pressure during sputtering. The RMS roughness and crystallite size ofthe BaTiO3 increased with increasing sputtering pressure. All BaTiO3 films had an amorphous structure, regardless of thesputtering pressures, due to the low PET substrate temperature. The composition of films showed an atomic ratio (Ba:Ti:O)of 0.9:1.1:3. The electrical properties of the BaTiO3 films were affected by the microstructure and roughness. The BaTiO3 filmsprepared at 100mTorr exhibited a dielectric constant of ~80 at 1kHz and a leakage current of 10−8A at 400kV/cm. Also, filmsshowed polarization of 8µC/cm2 at 100kV/cm and remnant polarization (Pr) of 2µC/cm2. This suggests that sputter depositedflexible BaTiO3 films are a promising dielectric that can be used in high energy density capacitors owing to their high dielectricconstant, low leakage current and stable preparation by sputtering.

본 연구에서는 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 공정변수가 대두유의 수율에 미치는 영향과 초고압 처리가 초임계 추출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. RSM 실험법을 통한 최적화 실험에서 468.18 bar, 80.23oC, 46.82 g/min의 조건에서 최대값 25.88%를 나타내었다. 초임계 추출법의 최적추출조건에서 초고압 전처리 후 추출 수율은 17.15-23.66%로 전처리 전보다 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 462.13MPa, 1분의 추출조건에서 정상점은 최대값으로 24.91%가 예측되었다. 초고압 전처리 후 초임계 추출에서 수율이 증가하지 않은 이유는 초고압 전처리시 입자의 뭉침현상이 일어나 평균입자크기가 증가하여 나타난 현상으로 추론하였다. 결과적으로 초고압 전처리는 초임계 추출 수율 증가에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 대두유를 추출할 경우 추출 압력, 유량이 높을수록 추출온도가 낮을수록 더 많은 양의 대두유를 추출할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to develop HTHP ginseng (high temperature and high pressure ginseng) with improved antioxidative activity and phenolic acid composition by high temperature and high pressure process. The HTHP ginseng extract was analyzed for the total phenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and phenolic acid composition. The total phenol content was increased in HTHP ginseng (14.76 ㎎/g) compared to raw ginseng (3.59 ㎎/g) and red ginseng (3.93 ㎎/g). DPPH radical scavenging activities of HTHP ginseng, raw ginseng and red ginseng extracts were 4.8～78.4%, 1～47.4% and 1.8～56.5% at 1～100 ㎎/㎖ concentration. Also ABTS radical scavenging activities of HTHP ginseng, raw ginseng and red ginseng extracts were 8.9～99.8%, 3.4～96% and 1.2～96.5% at 1～100 ㎎/㎖ concentration. In HPLC analysis, amounts of measured phenolic acid of HTHP ginseng greatly increased than raw ginseng and red ginseng, but salicylic acid was not detected in HTHP ginseng. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity of phenolic acid from HTHP ginseng was increased. Consequently, we believe high temperature and high pressure process is better method than existing method to increase the bioactivity of ginseng.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by oxidative stresses which cause various chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mayer) has been reported to contain various biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, radioprotective, anti-amnestic and anti-aging effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of Panax ginseng, treated with high temperatures and high pressures, on oxidative stress in C2C12 myoblasts and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Oxidative stress was induced in the C2C12 cells through the introduction of H₂O₂ (1 mM), and cells were then treated with various ginseng preparations: dried white ginseng (DG), steamed ginseng (SG) and high temperature and high pressure treated ginseng (HG). In addition, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were treated with various ginsengs for up to 8 days following standard induction of differentiation. Our results show that HG treatment significantly protected oxidative stress in both cell lines and enhanced gene expression of antioxidant enzymes. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the protective effects of ginseng on the oxidative stress of adipocytes and muscle cells.

In this study, electrolytic copper powders were consolidated by high-pressure torsion process (HPT) which is the most effective process to produce bulk ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline metallic materials among various severe plastic deformation processes. The bulk samples were manufactured by the HPT process at 2.5 GPa and 1/2, 1 and 10 turns. After 10 turns, full densification was achieved by high pressure with shear deformation and ultrafine grained structure (average grain size of 677 nm) was observed by electron backscatter diffraction and a scanning transmission electron microscope.

In this work, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Pure Cu powders were mixed with 5 and 10 vol% diamonds and consolidated into disc-shaped samples at room temperature by HPT at 1.25 GPa and 1 turn, resulting in ultrafine grained metallic matrices embedded with diamonds. Neither heating nor additional sintering was required with the HPT process so that in situ consolidation was successfully achieved at ambient temperature. Significantly refined grain structures of Cu metallic matrices with increasing diamond volume fractions were observed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which enhanced the microhardness of the Cu-diamond composites.

염 함량을 달리한 된장을 초고압 처리하여 미생물 저감 특성을 조사함으로써 된장, 특히 저염 된장의 저장성을 높이기 위하여 초고압기술의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 초고압처리에 의한 된장 미생물 사멸효과는 전반적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 초고압처리에 의한 미생물 사멸효과는 염 함량에 반비례하는 경향을 보였다. 미생물 종류에 따른 초고압사멸효과는 곰팡이, 효모, 세균 순으로 낮아졌다. 염 함량 10% 이하의 저염 된장은 6500 기압에서 40 분간 초고압처리에 의해 곰팡이와 효모가 거의 사멸되었으며, 초고압처리는 저염 된장의 유통기간 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대되었다.

In this study, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Water-atomized pure iron powders were consolidated to disc-shaped samples at room temperature using HPT of 10 GPa up to 3 turns. The resulting microstructural size decreases with increasing strain and reaches a steady-state with nanocrystalline (down to ~250 nm in average grain size) structure. The water-atomized iron powders were deformed plastically as well as fully densified, as high as 99% of relative density by high pressure, resulting in effective grain size refinements and enhanced microhardness values.

중고압 하에서 β-glucosidase 효소반응을 물리화학적 관점에서 연구하였다. 모델 기질 (p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside)에 대한 β-glucosidase 효소의 작용에 대한 압력 효과를 실험하였다. 즉, 압력 조건(25MPa, 50 MPa, 75 MPa, 100 MPa)과 시간 (10분, 60분, 1시간, 6시간, 24시간, 40시간)의 처리 조건에서 효소 활성도를 분광학적인 표준방법에 따라 측정하였다. 효소-기질 반응의 단계를 크게 kinetic 구간과 평형 구간으로 구분하여 물리화학적 모델을 적용하여, 정역반응속도 상수, 평형상수, 압력에 의한 부피 감소 등을 산출하였다. 대기압에서 100MPa까지 압력이 증가할수록 효소-기질 반응의 생성물이 더 많이 형성되었으며 전형적인 kinetic 구간과 평형 구간이 나타났다. 압력, 시간, 생성물농도 등의 데이터로부터 kinetic 구간과 평형에서의 생성물 예측 모델을 완성하였다. 결론적으로 중고압 처리에 의하여 효소-기질 반응이 촉진됨을 알 수 있었고, 임의의 압력 및 시간 조건에 따른 생성물의 농도를 예측할 수 있게 되었다.
