In this study, we measured the concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in four different seasons from 2016 to 2017 in order to determine seasonal variation of indoor air quality in relation to public transportation modes (subways, trains, and express buses). The measurement was carried out both during rush hour when traffic was congested as well as during non-rush hour when traffic was not congested. Effects by season, degree of congestion, and characteristics of public transportation were analyzed on the basis of 295 items of data during the periods of congestion and 295 items of data during the periods of non-congestion. The average TVOCs concentration in winter was the highest with 226.4 μg/m 3 . The average TVOCs concentration on an express bus was the highest with a seasonal average of 142.3 μg/m 3 . The TVOCs concentration in the period of congested traffic was higher than in the period of non-congested traffic for all public transportation modes. For the average TVOCs concentration by season and transportation, there was no data that exceeded the guidelines regarding maintaining indoor air quality. However, 2.5% of all sample measured data (TVOCs) exceeded the guidelines regarding maintaining indoor air quality. Therefore, the continuous monitoring of public transport vehicles is required.

A number of studies on airborne pollutants and microorganisms using ultraviolet sterilization have been conducted. Countermeasures are also needed to be taken against contamination and damage that occur on indoor surfaces in addition to indoor air. In this study, a method to predict UV-C intensity distribution using radiance calculation was introduced for the purpose of surface sterilization using UVGI systems and compared with the measured UVC intensities in a kitchen model room. The results of calculations showed a similar distribution of ultraviolet intensity with the measured intensities, although there was some discrepancy, probably due to different reflectance of building materials. And some bacteria and viruses occasionally identified in kitchens were predicted to be sterilized 99.9% only after about 30 minutes of UV-C irradiation with the figure 90% for fungi. The sterilization performance of UVGI and exposure time to UV-C were reasonably predicted using the radiance calculation method, and UV sterilization can be achieved with great effect even after a short period of time.

목 적：치아교정용 보철장치를 부착한 환자의 MRI 검사는 꾸준히 시행돼 오고 있다. 그러나 MRI 검사에서의 안전성에 대한 입증은 명확히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 3.0T MRI에서의 자기장과 RF에 의한 치아교정용 보철장치와의 상호작용을 실제 임상 조건으로 실험하여 안전성을 입증하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법：3.0T MRI 장치와 광섬유 온도 측정계, 온도 측정용액, 치아교정용 보철장치를 사용하였으며, 자장에 의한 왜곡 실험은 편향각과 토크 측정 장치를 사용하여 측정하였으며, RF에 의한 발열 온도 측정은 wire와 bracket을 결합한 후 온도 측정용액에 담그고, 광섬유 온도계의 온도 센서를 치아교정용 보철장치와 그 주변부에 설치한 후 실제 임상 조건으로 실험하였다. 결 과：고정 자기장에 의한 편향각 측정에서 bracket은 5회 측정 평균 19.88ﾟ, Ni-Ti wire는 1.96ﾟ, stainless steel wire는 119ﾟ로 측정되었으며, torque 실험에서는 bracket과 Ni-Ti wire는 0점으로 no torque이었으며, stainless steel wire는 +4점으로 very strong torque로 측정되었다.

This study analyzed the water quality characteristics and developed empirical models prior to and after the construction of Baekje Weir, in the Geum River watershed between 2004-2017. The comparative evaluation of the surface water chemistry before and after the four major river projects on the weirs indicated that total phosphorus (TP), based on annual data, rapidly decrease after the construction of the weir while the total nitrogen (TN) decreased. Conversely, chlorophyll-a (CHL) concentration, which is a good indicator of primary productivity, increased after the construction of the weir together with an increase in specific conductivity. Simply put, the construction of the weir led to the decrease in concentrations of N and P due to the increased water residence time (WRT), whereas the CHL : TP ratio greatly increased in magnitude. The regression analysis of the empirical model indicated that CHL had no significant relation (r=0.068, p=0.6102, n=58) with TP before the weir construction, but had a relation with TP after the weir construction (r=0.286, p<0.05, n=56). Therefore, such conditions resulted in an increase in primary productivity on a given unit of phosphorus, resulting in frequent algal blooms. In contrast, seasonal suspended solids (SS) and TP increased during the monsoon period, compared to the pre-monsoon, thereby showing positive correlations (r>0.40, p<0.01, n=163) with precipitation. If the government consistently discharges water from the weir, the phosphorus concentration will be increased due to its reversion to a lotic waterbody from a lentic waterbody hereby reducing algal blooms in the future.

In the present study, physiological activities of hot water extracts and 70% ethanol extracts of three types of medicinal mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus, Cordyceps militaris, and Ganoderma lingzhi) produced in Korea and China were investigated. Both the hot-water and 70% ethanol extracts of H. erinaceus and C. militaris from Korea displayed the highest 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy radical scavenging activities. Nitrite scavenging activities of hotwater extracts of G. lingzhi from Korea and China (41% and 39%, respectively) were higher than the activities of 70% ethanol extracts. Total polyphenol contents of hot water extracts of H. erinaceus and C. militaris from Korea were higher than those of 70% ethanol extracts. The ethanol extracts of G. lingzhi from Korea displayed the highest total polyphenol content. C. militaris from Korea displayed the highest β-glucan level (45.11%). β-glucan content of H. erinaceus from China (30.87%) was higher than H. erinaceus from Korea (16.94%). The findings indicate that healthy ingredients can be maximally extracted using the optimal solvents for each mushroom. These results will be useful in understanding the difference in physiological activities between the solvents used for the extraction of medicinal mushrooms from Korea and China.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the influence of chemical water quality on fish guilds, pollution tolerance and the multi-metric ecological health, based on the Fish Assessment Index (FAI) in the main stream of Mangyeong River between 2009−2016. The quality of water with specific conductivity, TP, and NH4-N got worse dramatically in the down region. During the study, a total of 50 species were collected and the most dominant species was Zacco platypus. Also known as tolerant species, accounted 22.9% of the total abundances, thus indicating a trophic degradation. The downstream region (S5) had the highest number of fish external abnormalities, indicating a degradation of ecological health, based on the fish assemblages. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that relative abundance of tolerant fish species and omnivore fish species had a significant positive correlation (r>0.30, p<0.05) with values of BOD, conductivity and NH4-N. Whereas, the relative abundance of the sensitive species and insectivore species had a significant negative relations (r<−0.30, p<0.001) with the parameters. The mean obtained from the multi-metric fish model, based on the FAI of all sites was 47 (n=40). This indicated a “fair condition” in the ecological health, and the downstream regions (S3−S5) were judged as “bad condition”, indicating an influence of the chemical degradation on the ecological health.

We assessed the growth characteristics of Auricularia polytricha ‘Geoni’ cultivated in a simple greenhouse constructed of polyethylene (PE) without air conditioning (high temperature) and in an air conditioned mushroomhouse. The successful cultivation of A. polytricha ‘Geoni’ at high temperatures can reduce energy and facility investment costs. The comparison of growth characteristics of the fungi grown under the different temperature conditions revealed that fruit bodies were larger in the higher temperature condition, but were brighter in the lower temperature condition. Additionally, fruit body physiology was found to be not affected by temperature. In the PE greenhouse, the fresh weight of fruit body was higher in mid-June and early July. Therefore, it was possible to effectively control the growth period of the mushrooms during a high-temperature period. The findings indicate the potential to cultivate A. polytricha ‘Geoni’in a simple PE greenhouse that is not cooled in summer, thus reducing energy costs.

River water quality and organisms have a very close relationship with the human living environment and health, so it is very important to ensure and maintain the ecological integrity of the aquatic ecosystem. In that sense, benthic diatoms have relatively little mobility, can explain the effects of long-term exposed pollution sources, and are very suitable indicator organisms for river ecosystem evaluation. Diatom ecologists have been developed various diatom indices to assess water quality and stream ecosystem over the world. However, they so far have insufficient identification of taxa, are strongly regional, and are difficult to apply as they are domestically. Unfortunately, there has not been developed an independent diatom index suitable for the Korean stream. Therefore, management of water quality and aquatic ecosystem suitable for domestic rivers can be made, and development or improvement of comprehensive multivariate diatom index for the integrated assessment of water quality and aquatic ecosystem is urgently needed.

In this study, the characteristics of the heat flow on SA(supply air) side of the white smoke reducing heat exchange system according to the change of SA velocity were analyzed in the winter condition (outside temperature 0℃). Also, the mixing process of SA and the EA(exhaust air) is presented in the psychrometric chart to confirm the possibility of reducing white smoke. Solidworks flow simulation was used to analyze the heat flow on the heat exchange system under uniform conditions. As the inflow velocity of SA increased, the temperature of SA decreased due to the convective heat transfer improvement due to the active flow in SA system. And the outlet temperature and absolute humidity of the mixing zone decreased significantly. At SA velocity 7 m/s, the outlet temperature and absolute humidity decreased to about 58% and 82%, respectively.

High performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted considerable attention as essential energy sources for high-technology electrical devices such as electrical vehicles, unmanned drones, uninterruptible power supply, and artificial intelligence robots because of their high energy density (150-250 Wh/kg), long lifetime (> 500 cycles), low toxicity, and low memory effects. Of the high-performance LIB components, cathode materials have a significant effect on the capacity, lifetime, energy density, power density, and operating conditions of high-performance LIBs. This is because cathode materials have limitations with respect to a lower specific capacity and cycling stability as compared to anode materials. In addition, cathode materials present difficulties when used with LIBs in electric vehicles because of their poor rate performance. Therefore, this study summarizes the structural and electrochemical properties of cathode materials for LIBs used in electric vehicles. In addition, we consider unique strategies to improve their structural and electrochemical properties.

Method development and validation of decursin for the standardization of Angelica gigas Nakai as a functional ingredient and health food were accomplished. The quantitative determination method of decursin as a marker compound of aerial parts of Angelica gigas Nakai extract (AAGE) was optimized by HPLC analysis using a C18 column (3×150 mm, 3 μm) with 0.1% TFA in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/ min and detection wavelength of 330 nm. The HPLC/PDA method was applied successfully to quantification of the marker compound in AAGE after validation of the method with linearity, accuracy, and precision. The method showed high linearity in the calibration curve at a coefficient of correlation (R2) of 0.9994 and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.011 μg/mL and 0.033 μg/mL, respectively. Relative standard deviation (RSD) values of data from intra- and inter-day precision were less than 1.10% and 1.13%, respectively. Recovery of decursin at 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 μg/mL were 92.38 ~ 104.11%. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is very useful for the determination of marker compound in AAGE to develop a health functional material.

The algal blooms in stagnant streams and lakes have caused many problems. Excessive algae leads to disturbance of ecosystem and overload of water treatment processes. Therefore, phosphorus(P), source of algal blooms, should be controlled. In this study, a filtration trench has been developed to convert dissolved phosphorus into hydroxyapatite(HAP) so that it could be crystallized on the surface of ‘phosphorus removal granular material’; and residual particulate phosphorus could be removed by additional precipitation and filtration. The front and rear parts of filtration trench consisted of ‘phosphorus removal granular material contact bed’ and ‘limestone filtration bed’, respectively. As a result of the column test using phosphorus removal granular material and limestone serially, PO4-P was removed more than 90% when EBCT(empty bed contact time) of the contact bed was over 20 minutes; and T-P represented 60% of removal efficiency when total EBCT was over 1.5 hours. The results of column tests to figure out the sedimentation characteristics showed that more than 90% of particulate phosphorus could be removed within 24 hours. It was necessary to optimize the filtration part in order to increase removal efficiency of T-P additionally. Also, it was confirmed through the simulation of Visual MINTEQ that most of particulate phosphorus in the column tests is the form of HAP. Based on the results of the study, it could be suggested that the design parameters are over 0.5 hour of EBCT for phosphorus removal granular material contact bed and over 1.5 hours of EBCT for limestone filtration bed.

This study was conducted in order to improve opening efficiency of the miniaturized small-scale net for anchovy boat seine gear to reduce the fleet size. Field experiment was performed to observe geometry of nets by catcher boats. When the distance between the two ships was 150, 300 and 450 m and the speed of towing nets was 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 kt, the vertical opening and actual opening of each part of the miniaturized small-scale net was as follows: the front part of the wing net, 6.8-9.5 m, 45-63%; the middle part of the wing net, 16.1-30.7 m, 34-65%; the entrance of the inside wing net, 21.6-41.2 m, 44-84%; the square and bosom, 17.4-34.0 m, 38-75%; the entrance of the body net, 16.5-29.4 m, 36-64%; the entrance of the bag net, 14.5-21.9 m, 70-106%; the flapper, 6.7-7.7 m, 81-83%, and the end of the bag net, 8.6-10.9 m, 64-81%. The tension of towing nets was measured to be 2,734-6,812 kg approximately, which indicates that the fleet can tow nets with 350 hp, the standard engine horse power. The fishing operation time was shortened comparing to existent net with the large-scale buoy attachment operation. It was also possible to operate the ship without fish detecting boat.

제4차 산업혁명은 사회·경제 모든 분야에 지대한 영향을 주고 있습니다. 금융분야에서는 ‘스마트금융’, ‘핀테크’라고 불리고 있습니다. 신속, 정확을 요하는 금융과 ICT가 융합되어 엄청난 변화가 이루어지고 있습니다. 이러한 변화에 전자금융교육이 국가적으로 제대로 이루어지고 있는가에 대한 우려에서 이 발표를 하게 되었습니다. 핀테크의 순기능 못지않게 부작용도 적지 않습니다. 금융거래 시 본인이 의도하지 않은 부당한 거래가 발생할 가능성이 크게 증가하였습니다. 비대면의 금융의사결정은 대면의 의사결정보다 잘못될 위험이 훨씬 높습니다. 이러한 상황에 맞게 금융의사결정 역량을 제고하는 방법에 대하여 모두 고민하여야 할 시점입니다. ‘전자금융교육’은 기존의 ‘금융교육’과 크게 다르지 않습니다. 하지만 스마트시대의 금융회사나 금융시스템을 통해 제공되는 서비스 측면에서 보면 비대면거래가 대부분을 차지하여 금융교육은 전자금융교육이라고 해도 지나치지 않을 만큼 전자금융교육의 중요성은 커졌습니다. 전자금융교육 컨텐츠로서의 ‘전자금융 교육’과 교육의 방법으로서의 ‘전자 금융교육’을 모두 포함하여야 합니다. 2010년 금융감독원과 교육과정평가원이 제시한 「초·중·고 금융교육 표준안」은 이러한 변화무쌍한 제4차 산업혁명시대의 청소년들의 금융교육 내용과 목표, 성취기준이 충분히 반영되었는지 점검이 필요합니다. 성인, 특히 금융교육 취약자에 대한 전자금융교육에 대한 체계적인 프로그램 개발에 대한 노력도 미흡합니다. 국민의 전자금융 문해력 향상을 위해서는 범국가적으로 머리를 맞대어야 합니다. 전자금융사고에 대하여 사후적으로 몇 개의 정부 및 유관기관들이 대책을 마련하는 정도로는 부족합니다. 선제적이고 체계적인 디지털 금융교육이 이루어지지 않는 경우 핀테크 발전에 따른 규제완화와 개인정보 보호에 헛점이 생겨 금융소비자의 피해가 우려되며 규제완화에 대한 고민하는 정부의 대책은 실효성이 제한적일 수 밖에 없습니다. 이에 정부는 범정부적인 교육통합기구 신설·운영할 것을 권고합니다. 체계적인 전자금융 교육 문해력 향상 프로그램을 만들어야 합니다. 학교 내 다른 교과 특히, 미디어, 인문, 안전 교육 등과 융합하고 자유학기제 등 유연하고 창의적이고 비판적인 능력을 키우는 교육과 융합하여야 합니다. 디지털 리터러시와 윤리성도 전자금융시대에 어릴 때부터 반드시 교육되어야 합니다. 제4차 산업혁명과 핀테크의 발전은 신뢰와 협력에 기초하기 때문입니다. 청소년, 노인, 장애인, 다문화가족 등 금융취약계층에 대한 맞춤형 교육 프로그램을 지속적으로 개발 보급할 것을 권고합니다. 변화하는 금융지식을 담아낼 전자적인 교구재의 개발, 온라인/오프라인 병행교육, 체험형/사례연구 방식의 전자금융교육이 전자금융시대 적합한지, 또 효과적인지 전자금융교육의 큰 틀안에서 점검하고 실행해야할 시기라고 생각합니다.

This study was designed to examine the performance of an aspirated radiation shield(ARS), which was made at the investigator's lab and characterized by relatively easier making and lower costs based on survey data and reports on errors in its measurements of temperature and relative humidity. The findings were summarized as follows: the ARS and the Jinju weather station made measurements and recorded the range of maximum, average, and minimum temperature at 2.0~34.1oC, -6.1~22.2oC, –14.0~15.1oC and 0.4~31.5oC, -5.8~22.0oC, -14.1~16.3oC, respectively. There were no big differences in temperature measurements between the two institutions except that the lowest and highest point of maximum temperature was higher on the campus by 1.6oC and 2.6oC, respectively. The measurements of ARS were tested against those of a standard thermometer. The results show that the temperature measured by ARS was lower by –2.0oC or higher by 1.8oC than the temperature measured by a standard thermometer. The analysis results of its correlations with a standard thermometer reveal that the coefficient of determination was 0.99. Temperature was compared between fans and no fans, and the results show that maximum, average, and minimum temperature was higher overall with no fans by 0.5~7.6oC, 0.3~4.6oC and 0.5~3.9oC, respectively. The daily average relative humidity measurements were compared between ARS and the weather station of Jinju, and the results show that the measurements of ARS were a little bit higher than those of the Jinju weather station. The measurements on June 27, July 26 and 29, and August 20 were relatively higher by 5.7%, 5.2%, 9.1%, and 5.8%, respectively, but differences in the monthly average between the two institutions were trivial at 2.0~3.0%. Relative humidity was in the range of –3.98~+7.78% overall based on measurements with ARS and Assman's psychometer. The study analyzed correlations in relative humidity between the measurements of the Jinju weather station and those of Assman's psychometer and found high correlations between them with the coefficient of determination at 0.94 and 0.97, respectively.

배경/목적: 한국의 내시경적 역행성 담췌관 조영술(ERCP)의 질을 평가한 전국적인 실태 조사 결과를 표준 질지표와 비교하여 기술하고자 한다. 방법: 건강보험심사평가원의 자료를 분석하였고, 이후에 무기명으로 전국적인 설문 조사를 시행하였다. 결과: ERCP 의사 157명 중에서 129명이 설문에 응답하여 82.2%의 회수율을 보였다. 한국에서 ERCP 시행률은 지속적으로 증가하였다. 약 반수의 의사는 1인당 ERCP 양이 연간 200예 이상으로 시술량이 많은 ERCP 의사에 속하였다. 대부분의 ERCP 의사들은 1단계의 ERCP 시술을 시행하였으나 담췌관 내압 측정, 담관-췌관경 및 췌장 시술은 많은 양의 시술을 하는 병원에서만 시행하였다. 대부분의 ERCP 의사들은 90% 이상의 성공률을 보였으나, 예비 괄약근 절개율이 약 25%로 표준 질지표보다 높았다. 12명의 ERCP 의사들이 최근 1년간 ERCP 후 환자가 사망하는 합병증을 경험하였다. 또한 ERCP 수련과 시술량이 낮거나 중등도인 병원의 방사선 차폐는 표준 질지표에 도달하지 못하였다. 결론: 한국의 ERCP 술기는 표준적인 질지표를 충족하였으나, ERCP 수련과 방사선 차폐 문제는 향후 개선이 필요하다.

The study aimed to determine effects of light emitting diode (LED) and the ultraviolet radiation (UVA) light of plant factory on plant growth and ascorbic acid content of spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv. Shusiro). Plants were grown in a NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system for 28 days after transplanting with fluorescent light (FL, control), LEDs and UVA (Blue+UVA (BUV), Red and Blue (R:B(2:1)) + UVA (RBUV), Red+UVA (RUV), White LED (W), Red and Blue (R:B(2:1)), Blue (B), Red (R)) under the same light intensity (130 μmol·m-2·s-1) and photoperiod (16/8h = day/night). All the light sources containing the R (R, RB, RUV, and RBUV) showed leaf epinasty symptom at 21 days after transplanting (DAT). Under the RUV treatment, the lengths of leaf and leaf petiole were significantly reduced and the leaf width was increased, lowering the leaf shape index, compared to the R treatment. Under the BUV, however, the lengths of leaf and leaf petiole were increased significantly, and the leaf number was increased compared to B. Under the RBUV treatment, the leaf length was significantly shorter than other treatments, while no significant difference between the RBUV and RB for the fresh and dry weights and leaf area. Dry weights at 28 days after transplanting were significantly higher in the R, RUV and BUV treatments than those in the W and FL. The leaf area was significantly higher under the BUV treatment. The ascorbic acid content of the 28 day-old spinach under the B was significantly higher, followed by the BUV, and significantly lower in FL and R. All the integrated data suggest that the BUV light seems to be the most suitable for growth and quality of hydroponically grown spinach in a plant factory.

본 연구에서는 탄소 나노재료 중 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드와 전도성 고분자중 폴리아닐린을 복합화 하여 슈퍼커패시터용 전극을 제조하였으며, 각각의 전극 재료가 가지는 단점을 서로 보완하고 장점을 극대화시킴으로써 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 크게 향상 시킬 수 있었다. 전극 물질에 사용된 폴리아닐린은 아닐린 단량체를 화학 중합법으로 제조하였고, 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드는 별도의 전 처리 과정 없이 사용 하였으며, DMF(N,N-dimethyl formamide)를 용매로 도입하여 분산용액을 제조하였다. 분산용액은 금이 코팅된PET(Polyethylene terephthalate) 기판위에 산업적 스케일로 적용이 가능한 스프레이 코팅 방법을 이용하여 전극으로 제조하였다. 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/폴리아닐린 복합재료를 기반으로 제조된 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 비교하기 위하여 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드와 폴리아닐린 단일 전극을 제조하였으며, 동일 한 조건하에서 순환전압전류법, 임피던스 분광법, 정전류 충·방전법을 통하여 각각의 전극이 나타내는 전기 화학적 특성을 비교·분석 하였다. 그 결과로, 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/폴리아닐린 복합재료를 기반으로 제조된 전극은 폴리아닐린, 환원된 그래핀 옥사 단일 전극에 비하여 전기 용량 값이 높게 나타났으며, 전해질 계면과의 내부 저항은 폴리아닐린, 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드 단일 전극에 비하여 각각 24 %, 58 % 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어보아 본 연구를 통하여 제조된 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/폴리 아닐린 복합재료 기반의 전극은 유연성 에너지 저장 매체나 웨어러블 전자기기에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 저온, 상압, 긴 시간에 추출되는 더치 coffee grounds에 대하여 상대적으로 고온, 고압, 짧은 시간에 추출되는 에스프레소 coffee grounds와 비교하여 화장품 소재로서 가능성을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 본 저자들은 더치 coffee grounds의 에탄올 추출물을 사용하여 항산화, 주름개선, 항균효과에 대한 생물학적 활성 평가를 수행하였다. 총 폴리페놀 화합물 함량은 더치 coffee grounds 추출물의 경우 90.39 ± 0.04 mg/g로 64.96 ± 0.38 mg/g의 에스프레소 coffee grounds 추출물보다 더 높은 결과를 나타났으며, 참고로 기준물질인 원두 coffee beans 추출물은 113.63 ± 0.22 mg/g을 나타내었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능 및 SOD 유사 활성능 결과에서 기준물질인 원두 coffee bean 추출물에 대하여, 더치 coffee grounds 추출물이 에스프레소 coffee grounds 추출물 보다 좋은 소거능이 제시되었 다. Elastase 활성 저해능을 측정 결과에서 원두 coffee bean 추출물을 기준으로, 더치 coffee grounds 추출물이 에스프레소 coffee grounds 추출물 보다 높은 저해능을 나타냈다. 또한 항균 활성 측정 결과에서는 더치 coffee grounds 추출물은 Escherichia coli, Bacillus, Propionibacterium acnes에서 항균 효과가 나타났으며 기준물질인 원두 coffee bean 추출물과 clear zone 크기의 차이가 거의 없었다. 상기 실험 결과로부터 더치 coffee grounds의 우수한 항산화, 주름개선, 항균효능을 확인하였으며 향후 천연 화장품 원료로 사용될 가능성을 확인하였다.
