본 연구에서는 효소의 활성을 증진시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법의 개발을 위하여 정제된 polygalacturonase(PGase)에 guar gum, xanthan gum, locust bean gum 등과 같은 교질물질을 첨가함으로써 효소의 활성을 특이적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 방법 조사하였다. 정제된 PGase를 0.2%의 상술한 교질물질을 함유하는 동일한 완충용액에 잘 혼합시켜 30oC에서 배양하여 상대활성을 구한 결과, guar gum 첨가 시 는 PGase의 상대활성이 105%가 증가 되었으며, xanthan gum 첨가 시는 87%, locust bean gum 첨가 시는 90%가 증가되어 상술한 교질물질들이 효소의 활성 촉진제로서의 기능이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. Guar gum 처리에 의해 당근 단세포 생성 반응을 수행한 결과 모든 반응시간에서 guar gum을 가했을 때가 PGase만을 가하여 단세포화 반응을 수행한 경우 보다 높은 수율을 보였으며, 단세포화 반응 2시간 경과 후에 대조군 대비 13%의 가장 높은 수율 향상을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 PGase에 guar gum, xanthan gum, locust bean gum 등과 같은 교질물질을 첨가함으로써 효소의 활성을 특이적으로 향상시킬 수 있으며, 이를 이용한 단세포 당근의 제조에 있어서 효소반응의 수율 증진을 위한 방법으로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

국내 주요 복분자 산지인 고창, 정읍, 횡성, 순창산 복분자로 복분자주를 제조하여 제조 복분자주의 휘발성 향기성분 분석과 기호도 조사를 통해 산지별 차이를 파악하였다. 복분자주의 주요 향기성분으로 phenylethyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, diethyl succinate, isobutyl alcohol, acetic acid, octanoic acid, benzoic acid, α-terpineol, myrtenol, pcymene-8-ol이 동정되었고 특히 적포도주에 비해 terpene류가 많이 검출되어 복분자주의 odor-active compounds를 분석하기 위해 gas-chromatography-olfactometry를 포함한 다양한 향기성분 분석 연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다. Ester류는 횡성산과 정읍산 복분자주에서 많이 검출되었고 alcohol과 acid류도 횡성산에서 가장 많은 농도를 나타내었다. Terpene류는 정읍산에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 차후 이들 시료에 대한 묘사분석을 통해 향기성분과의 상관관계 분석이 필요하리라 여겨진다. 전반적인 기호도에서는 제조 복분자주에서 고창, 순창, 횡성, 정읍순으로 나타났고 특히 횡성과 정읍 시료의 경우 단맛은 약하고 신맛은 너무 강한 것으로 나타나 당산비 조절이 필요한 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 조청의 제조공정 및 품질 개선을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 수침시간(4, 8, 12시간)을 달리한 멥쌀을 증자기와 microwave로 제조한 고두밥의 일반성분과 수분용해지수, 수분흡착지수, 환원당함량, 페이스트점도를 비교하였고, 전처리를 달리한 고두밥으로 제조한 조청의 당고형분함량, 환원당함량과 포도당당량을 비교하였다. 멥쌀의 수침시간이 증가할수록 일반성분은 감소하였다. 멥쌀원료의 지방함량은 최대 60% 감소하였고, 회분과 단백질 함량 또한 수침시간이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한, 본 실험에서 사용된 엿기름의 β-amylase의 활성도는 1710 unit의 당화력을 보였다. 멥쌀 원료의 환원당 함량은 수침시간이 4-8시간으로 증가할 때 증가하였지만, 수침 12시간이후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 증자한 고두밥, microwave 처리한 고두밥의 환원당함량은 8시간까지 증가하다가 12시간 때 일정하게 유지되는 경향을 나타내었다. 멥쌀 원료와 전처리를 달리한 고두밥의 수분용해지수는 수침시간 4시간 이후에는 수침시간이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 수분흡착지수는 증자한 고두밥과 microwave 처리한 고두밥과는 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 수침시간의 증가에 따른 최고점도, 최저점도, 구조파괴점도, 최종점도, 회복점도 등의 페이스트 점도지표는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, peak time은 큰 변화가 없었다. 멥쌀을 12시간 수침한 후 증자기와 microwave로 제조한 고두밥을 당화시간(4, 8, 12시간)을 달리하여 제조한 조청의 당고형분 함량과 환원당 함량은 당화시간이 증가할수록 그에 따라 비례하는 결과를 보였고, microwave 처리한 고두밥을 이용하여 제조한 조청보다 증자한 고두밥을 이용하여 제조한 조청의 환원당 함량과 포도당 당량이 높게 측정되었다. 증자한 고두밥을 12시간 당화하였을 때 조청의 환원당함량과 포도당 당량이 59.40±0.11%, 76.99±1.78%로 가장 높게 측정되었으며, 결과적으로 멥쌀을 12시간 수침하여 증자한 고두밥을 12시간 당화시켜 제조한 조청의 품질특성이 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

Bamboo leaf powder was added to Chiffon cake to increase its neutraceutical effects and storage periods. Specifically, 0, 7, 10 and 13% leaf powder was added to the cakes. The content of total dietary fiber in the bamboo leaf powder was 65.57%. The moisture content did not differ significantly among groups. The cake containing 10% bamboo leaf powder had the greatest volume, whereas the control group (0% bamboo leaf powder) had the lowest volume (p〈0.05). The Hunter's L and a values decreased significantly as the amount of bamboo leaf powder increased. The b value of the control was lowest among the groups (p〈0.05). Evaluation of the consumer acceptance of flavor revealed that the cakes containing the added bamboo leaf had greater consumer acceptance than the control. However, when the color was evaluated, the 13% group showed the lowest acceptance (p〈0.05). Other factors such as texture, taste and overall acceptance did not differ significantly among groups. Additionally, the elasticity did not differ among groups, while the air cells were most uniform in the control. The strength of bamboo leaf aroma, bitter taste and aftertaste increased as the amount of bamboo leaf powder added increased. Cakes containing 10% and 13% added powder had the greatest moisture content, while the control had the lowest content (p〈0.05). As in previous studies, the results of this study indicated that 10% bamboo leaf powder was the optimal level for the preparation of Chiffon cake. To evaluate the storage of cakes, the 10% group and the control were inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae and then incubated at 30℃ for 6 days. The microbial colony counts in the control group were dramatically increased after 48 hrs; however, the fungal concentration of the 10% group did not increase for 4 days. In conclusion, the addition of 10% bamboo leaf powder to Chiffon cake increased the storage time while maintaining adequate consumer acceptance.

Graphene has been effectively synthesized on Ni/SiO2/Si substrates with CH4 (1 SCCM) diluted in Ar/H2(10%) (99 SCCM) by using an inductively-coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Graphene was formed on the entire surface of the 500 nm thick Ni substrate even at 700 ˚C, although CH4 and Ar/H2 gas were supplied under plasma of 600 W for 1 second. The Raman spectrum showed typical graphene features with D, G, and 2D peaks at 1356, 1584, and 2710 cm-1, respectively. With increase of growth temperature to 900 ˚C, the ratios of the D band intensity to the G band intensity and the 2D band intensity to the G band intensity were increased and decreased, respectively. The results were strongly correlated to a rougher and coarser Ni surface due to the enhanced recrystallization process at higher temperatures. In contrast, highquality graphene was synthesized at 1000 ˚C on smooth and large Ni grains, which were formed by decreasing Ni deposition thickness to 300 nm.

To produce alloy powders with only SmFe single phase by reduction-diffusion (R-D) method, the effect of excess samarium oxide on the preparation of Sm-Fe alloy powder during R-D heat treatment was studied. The quantity of samarium oxide was varied from 5% to 50% whereas iron and calcium were taken 0% and 200% in excess of chemical equivalent, respectively. The pellet type mixture of samarium, iron powders and calcium granulars was subjected to heat treatment at 1100 for 5 hours. The R-D treated pellet was moved into deionized water and agitated to separate Sm-Fe alloy powders. After washing them in deionized water several times, the powders were washed with acetic acid to remove the undesired reaction products such as CaO. By these washing and acid cleaning treatment, only 0.03 wt% calcium remained in Sm-Fe alloy powders. It was also confirmed that the content of unreacted -Fe in SmFe matrix gradually decreased as the percentage of samarium oxide is increased. However, there was no significant change above 40% excess samarium oxide.

Fe based (FeCSiBPCrMoAl) amorphous powder, which is a composition of iron blast cast slag, were produced by a gas atomization process, and sequently mixed with ductile Cu powder by a mechanical ball milling process. The Fe-based amorphous powders and the Fe-Cu composite powders were compacted by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Densification of the Fe amorphous-Cu composited powders by spark plasma sintering of was occurred through a plastic deformation of the each amorphous powder and Cu phase. The SPS samples milled by AGO-2 under 500 rpm had the best homogeneity of Cu phase and showed the smallest Cu pool size. Micro-Vickers hardness of the as-SPSed specimens was changed with the milling processes.

Fe based (FeCSiBPCrMoAl) amorphous powder, which is a composition of iron blast cast slag, were produced by a gas atomization process, and sequently mixed with ductile Cu powder by a mechanical ball milling process. The experiment results show that the as-prepared Fe amorphous powders less than 90 m in size has a fully amorphous phase and its weight fraction was about 73.7%. The as-atomized amorphous Fe powders had a complete spherical shape with very clean surface. Differential scanning calorimetric results of the as-atomized Fe powders less than 90 m showed that the glass transition, T, onset crystallization, T, and super-cooled liquid range T=T-T were 512, 548 and 36, respectively. Fe amorphous powders were mixed and deformed well with 10 wt.% Cu by using AGO-2 high energy ball mill under 500 rpm.

The silver nanofluids were synthesized by the pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method in a liquid-gas mixture. The size and microstructure of nanoparticles in the deionized water were investigated by a particle size analyzer (PSA), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also, the synthesized nanofluids were investigated in order to assess the stability of dispersion of nanofluid by the zetapotential analyzer and dispersion stability analyzer. The results showed that the spherical silver nanoparticle formed in the deionized water and mean particle size was about 50 nm. Also, when explosion times were in the range of 20~200 times, the absolute value of zeta potential was less than -27 mV and the dispersion stability characteristic of low concentration silver nanofluid was better than the high concentration silver nanofluid by turbiscan.

Recently, much interest on mesoporous carbon has been shown in their use for both hydrogen and methane storage and as an electrode material for electric double layer capacitors. The mesoporous active carbons by ion exchange were prepared and physical properties such as specific surface area and pore structure of active carbon were investigated using BET. In this study, active carbons with mesopore fraction of 60~90% were obtained. The Fe/Ca-exchanged active carbons showed a greater mesoporosity compared with Fe-exchanged carbons. The mean mesopore size in active carbons using Ca- and Fe-exchange was about 5.5~6.0nm and was approximately 1nm higher than that of the Fe-exchanged active carbon.

Fisher-Tropsch synthesis for the production of hydrocarbon from syngas was investigated on 20% cobalt-based catalysts (20% Co/HSA, 20% Co/Si-MMS), which were prepared by home-made supports with high surface areas such as high surface alumina (HSA) and silica mesopores molecular sieve (Si-MMS). In the gas phase reaction by syngas only, 20% Co/Si-MMS catalyst was shown in higher CO conversion and lower carbon dioxide formation than 20% Co/HSA, whereas the olefin selectivity was higher in 20% Co/HSA than in 20% Co/Si-MMS. In the effect of n-hexane added in syngas, the selectivities of C5+ and olefin were increased by comparing the supercritical phase reaction with the gas phase reaction in addition to reduce unexpected methane and carbon dioxide.

Superporous Hydrogels (SPHs) have been extensively investigated for various biomedical applications due to their fast swelling and superabsorbent properties. In this study, glycol chitosan that is one of most abundant natural polymers was used as a cross-linking agent instead of bisacrylamide (BIS), which is a broadly used crosslinking agent for preparation of SPHs. Glycol chitosan was modified to have reactive vinyl groups by chemical conjugation with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The vinyl group-containing glycol chitosan (GC-GMA) was characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR measurements. SPHs have been prepared in various synthetic conditions to establish the optimum synthetic process for making superporous structure, where the inner pores are interconnected to each other to form a open channel structure. Various SPHs with different GC-GMA contents have been successfully prepared and have been observed to show faster swelling properties than other conventional SPHs. From the study on the swelling behavior of SPHs, the GC-GMA content is considered to be an important factor for controlling their swelling properties.
