The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of three types of Chestnut Meals (CM) on chemical composition and rumen fermentation characteristics of the fermented diet. The inoculants consisted of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis, and Sacaromyces cerevisiae and were applied to three different types of CM; Whole Chestnut (WC), endodermis (EN), and kernel (KE). All types of CMs were ensiled at 39°C for 0, 1, 2, 4, or 6 days. After ensiling, the fermented CMs were sub-sampled for laboratory assays. On day six of fermentation, counts of the lactic acid-producing Bacillus subtilis, and yeast were higher (P<0.05) in WC than in the other CM types. On day four, KE had higher (P<0.05) crude protein content but lower (P<0.05) neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber contents than the other treatments. In terms of rumen digestibility, KE had the highest (P<0.05) in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDMD), neutral detergent fiber digestibility (IVNDFD), total volatile fatty acid (VFA), propionate, butyrate concentrations, and total gas volume, as well as the lowest (P<0.05) acetate concentration. On the other hand, EN had the highest (P<0.05) pH and ammonia-N concentration in the rumen. In the rumen, even though WC application produced the highest microbial count and fermentation characteristics, it did not have a beneficial effect on rumen digestibility. Therefore, this study concluded that application of KE could be recommended due to the observed improvements in IVDMD and IVNDFD.

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the growth promotion effects on tomato crops and to assess the mineral nutrient concentrations of farm-made liquid fertilizers used in organic cultivation in South Korea. We hope that this study will help to develop of a standardized manufacturing technique for these organic liquid fertilizers. We collected 62 farm-made liquid fertilizers made from various raw materials including fish, seaweed, food scraps, plant and crop by-products, and other materials. Two groups of tomato seedlings were treated at different times, one at 20 days and the other at 40 days after sowing. We used both foliar and soil applications. These seedlings were treated using liquid fertilizers at various dilution rates (x1000, x500 and x100). When foliar application was used, seedlings after 20 days had a 20-30% increase in shoot fresh weight with 47-48 fertilizers and seedlings after 40 days had a 20-30% increase in shoot fresh weight with 17-32 fertilizers. When soil application was used, seedlings after 20 days had the same increase in shoot fresh weight with 30-31 fertilizers and seedlings after 40 days also saw the same increase with 6-7 fertilizers. Therefore, our studies showed that application of liquid fertilizers to seedlings 20 days after sowing was most effective and that foliar treatment was more effective than soil treatments. We also observed that the higher the concentrations of fertilizer, particularly when applied twice rather than just once, the higher the rates of growth, which promoted shoot fresh weight more than plant height. Our results imply that mineral nutrients in liquid fertilizers seem to be the probable cause for the growth promotion observed in this study. However, more study is required to determine exactly which mineral nutrients are most effective.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system application on microbial hazard management levels of pork and manufacturing environments. In this study, we compared and analyzed microbial levels in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments (knifes, gloves, and cutting boards) of HACCP and non-HACCP meat markets. In addition, we surveyed the hygiene statuses of HACCP and non-HACCP meat markets. The general bacterial counts in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments were lower in HACCP meat markets than in non-HACCP meat markets. Particularly, non-HACCP meat markets exceeded the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety microbiological recommendation criteria for raw meats (8.7%) and finished products (8.7%). Escherichia coli and coliform counts in raw meat, finished products, and manufacturing environments were also lower in HACCP meat markets than in non-HACCP meat markets. The biological hazard levels of finished products from non-HACCP meat markets were affected by raw meat and manufacturing environment. Moreover, according to questionnaire survey results, personal hygiene, manufacturing environment, and facility standards were lower in non-HACCP meat markets than in HACCP meat markets. Implementation of HACCP at meat markets is expected to minimize food poisoning by reducing the biological hazard levels to provide safe livestock products to consumers.

As a method to improve the water purification performance of porous concrete through existing studies, it has been analyzed how to substitute effective microorganisms at a certain rate for use or immersing porous concrete in a culture solution. In this study, we tried to compare and analyze the viability of microbial cells after mixing spherical microbial cells with useful microbes and natural materials in order to more easily apply high - concentration microbes.

The study was initiated to compare crop productivity as affected by a long-term application with homemade liquid fertilizers in leading organic cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) farms in Suncheon and Kimcheon provinces. A Suncheon farm have applied an EM (effective organism) liquid fertilizer for one year and fifteen years, designating as EM 1-year and EM 15-year plots, respectively, with 4-year and 5-year application of native microbes-liquid fertilizer in Kimcheon farm, designating as Micro 4-year and Micro 5-year plots, respectively. pH in the EM-liquid fertilizer was high to approximately 7.7, and EC in the Micro-liquid fertilizer was 0.1 dS/m higher than those of EM-liquid fertilizer, with similar macro-nutrient concentrations observed in the both liquid fertilizers. Soil EC was the highest to the 10.0 dS/m for the liquid fertilizer with EM 1-year and showed less than 1.5 dS/m for other liquid fertilizer plots. Micro-liquid fertilizer plots had soil OM contents less than 20 g/kg, which was approximately two times less than those of EM plots. Soil microbial properties were not significantly different among the liquid fertilizer plots. SPAD and PS II values were significantly increased by EM 15-year plots with high levels of soil OM and EC. Liquid fertilizer plot with EM 1-year had high concentrations of T-N, Ca, and Na in the cucumber crops but low concentrations of P and Mg, in particular for low K of 1.2% which was two times less than those of desired level for an optimum cucumber growth. The lowest fruit yield was observed for the liquid fertilizer plot with EM 1-year with the highest soil EC accumulated. Liquid fertilizer plot with EM 15-year produced the expanded volume of crop canopy and increased fruit yield. Therefore, long-term of continuous application with an organic liquid fertilizer would have sustainably improved soil stability and the crop productivity.

The catalytic activity of Ni-0.2%YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia) with different promoters was evaluated for CO2 methanation. The catalysts were weighed for mixing and they were dried at 110 for molding into disks. The concentration of CO2 and CH4 for conducting of CO2 methanation were analyzed by gas chromatography and the physical characteristics of the disk-type catalyst formed were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer. The addition of CeO2 as a promoter for Ni-0.2%YSZ (denoted as Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ) resulted in the highest CO2 methanation. It also showed catalytic activity at a low temperature(200°C). Following this, ZrO2, SiO2, Al2O3 and TiO2 were added to Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ to compare the CO2 methanation, and the highest efficiency was found for. Ni-1%Ti-5%Ce -0.2%YSZ Then, the concentration of Ti was increased to 10% and the catalytic activity was estimated using seven different types of commercial TiO2. In conclusion, ST-01 TiO2 showed the highest efficiency for CO2 methanation.

석록과 석청은 우리나라 전통 채색 문화유산에서 각각 녹색과 청색안료로 사용되어온 전통안료이며, 천연광물인 공작석과 남동석이 원료광물로 알려져 있다. 석록과 석청은 모두 중국, 일본 등지에서 수입된 것으로 알려져 있으며, 일부 청색계열의 안료가 국내에서 산출된 기록이 있으나, 탄산염 광물이 생성되기 어려운 우리나라의 지질환경을 고려하면 가능성은 높지 않다. 무기안료인 석록과 석청의 특성을 파악하기 위해 공작석과 남동석 원료를 확보하고 성분분석을 실시하였으며, 전통제법을 적용하여 안료를 제조하고 특성을 분석하였다. 제조한 석록의 L* 값은 59-83 정도, a* 값은 -20 이하로서, 시판제품에 비해 채도가 약간 높았다. 흡유량은 22-29 mL/100 g이고, 은폐력은 99.2 % 이상으로 우수하였다. 석청의 L* 값은 35-65 범위이고, b* 값은 -15 이하로서, 시판제품에 비해 상대적으로 채도가 낮았다. 흡유량은 21-26 mL/100 g이며, 석록과 마찬가지로 은폐력이 99.1 % 이상으로 우수하였다. 남동석의 원료광물은 남동석 외에 공작석, 석영 등의 불순물이 함유하고 있으며, 석청 제조 시 혼합된 불순물이 석청안료의 색도, 흡유량 등의 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

서비스 산업이 중심을 이루던 도시 산업 전반이 서비스 포화로 인한 저성장 시대로 진입하면서 도심을 중심으로 소규모 제조업체를 운영하는 도시형 소공인 제조 산업이 도시 산업 재생의 신성장 동력으로 주목받고 있다. 미국, 독일, 일본 등 선진국은 물론 빠른 속도로 산업 전반의 성장을 거듭하고 있는 중국 역시 4차 산업 혁명 시대를 맞아 제조업과 AI, ICBM(사물인터넷, 클라우드 컴퓨팅, 빅데이터, 모바일) 기반의 지능정보기술의 결합을 시도하며 이를 핵심으로 하는 도시제조업 중심의 제조업 재흥전략을 추진하고 있다. 이와 같은 세계적인 기류와는 달리 서울과 경기 지역을 중심으로 하는 한국의 도시제조업은 자금, 공간, 인프라, 인력, 기술 및 지식 고도화 부족 등으로 인해 4차 산업 혁명 대응 역량이 낮아 도시 산업 재흥의 성장 동력이 되기에는 총체적인 난제를 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 중앙 및 지방정부, 유관 공공기관들의 서울시 도시제조업 지원 정책사례와 해외 사례 연구의 프로토콜 분석 및 고찰을 통해 기존 정책의 문제점과 원인을 살펴보고, 제조와 유통을 연결하는 통합 플랫폼 구축 및 이를 위한 도시형 소공인 협동조합 구성 등을 기반으로 한 체계적인 도시제조업 지원정책의 필요성과 방향성을 제언하였다.

골다공증의 진단에서 이중에너지 X선 흡수계수법은 가장 빈번하게 사용되는 검사이다. 외국의 골밀도 장치 제조사인 지이나 홀로직 장치에 대한 교차분석 연구는 다양하나 국내 제조사 이중에너지 X선 흡수골밀도 장치에 대한 비교 분석이 부족하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 제조사의 이중에너지 X선 흡수골밀도 장치와 해외 제조사의 이중에너지 X선 흡수 골밀도 장치의 교차분석을 시행하여 교차식을 수립하였다. 유럽인 척추 팬텀을 이용한 검사에서 가장 높은 표준 편차를 보인 Dexxum T 장치의 경우 상. 중. 하부 척추에서0.030, 0.029, 0.037를 보였고, 홀로직의 Horizon Ci에서는 0.005와 0.004로 하부와 중간 척추에서 가장 낮은 표준편차를 나타냈다. 오스테오 프로맥스 장치의 경우 상부 척추에서 0.005의 표준편자를 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 도출한 국내·외 이중에너지 흡수 골밀도 장치의 교차식은 임상환경에서 골밀도 검사의 추척 검사에 유용한 사례가 될 것이다. 또한 본 연구에서 제시한 국산 이중에너지 X선골밀도 장치에 대해 설정된 교차 방정식에 기초로 임상환경에서 보다 정확한 골밀도 추적 관찰을 위해 보다 다양한 국산 이중에너지 X선 골밀도 장치의 교차 보정을 설정하는 것이 필요하다.

Purpose – For small and medium sized firms, CEO characteristics are main factor influencing firms’ prosperity as well as performance. So it is quite natural that many people are interested in factors of CEO that matters. In this research, CEO characteristics in terms of capabilities and skill or special knowledge necessary to run the business are invested for manufacturing firms. Precedent studies reveal that CEO characteristics such as psychological factors including desire to succeed, tendency to take risks, personal factors including age, year of running business, and task related factors including managing capability, communication skills, network influence firm performance for manufacturing firms. However, these studies simply verify whether or not those factors affect firm’s managing performance. This study, however, goes further to investigate how is the affecting process from CEO’s capabilities and organization characteristics to firm’s core competence, and from core competence to advantages, and from advantages to managing performance. Research design, data, and methodology – We make a questionnaire and surveyed manufacturing firm CEO’s in Gyeonggi-do area. General characteristics analysis, factor analysis, regression analysis, and control effect analysis was conducted. SPSS 2.0 Win, version was used. Results – The CEO characteristics including basic capability, task capability, leadership, and organization characteristics affect core competence at the statistically significant level. And, core competence affect both price advantage and differentiation advantage at the significant level. Some unique finding is that while differentiation advantage affects both financial achievement and non-financial achievement, price advantage does not affect both financial and non-financial achievement. And firm characteristics mainly measured by CEO characteristics of skills has control effects on the trace from core competence to price advantage. Conclusions – For small and medium sized firms CEO characteristics is the most important factor influencing firm’s prosperity. For manufacturing firms, whether CEO has the skill or special knowledge to run the firm is critical factor. The study results show that CEO’s for manufacturing firms put importance on price and price advantage which seems to be familiar to them. However, the price advantage does not influential to financial and non-financial achievement. This result suggests that small and medium sized manufacturing firms’ CEO’s should make effort to improve other aspects of advantages to be more competitive.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be released to humans and the environment through the generation of waste containing engineered nanomaterials (WCNMs) and the use and disposal of nano-products. Nanoparticles can also be introduced intentionally or unintentionally into waste streams. This study examined WCNMs in domestic industries, and target nanomaterials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were selected. We tested 48 samples, such as dust, sludge, ash, and by-products from manufacturing facilities and waste treatment facilities. We analyzed leaching and content concentrations for heavy metals and hazardous constituents of the waste. Chemical compositions were also measured by XRD and XRF, and the unique properties of nano-waste were identified by using a particle size distribution analyzer and TEM. The dust and sludge generated from manufacturing facilities and the use of nanomaterials showed higher concentrations of metals such as lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and zinc. Oiled cloths from facilities using nano silver revealed high concentrations of copper, and the leaching concentrations of copper and lead in fly ash were higher than those in bottom ash. In XRF measurements at the facilities, we detected compounds such as silicon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. We found several chemicals such as calcium oxide and silicon dioxide in the bottom ash of waste incinerators.

Background: The objective of this study was to make colloidal dispersions of the active compounds of radix of Angelica gigas Nakai that could be charaterized as nano-composites using hot melt extrusion (HME). Food grade hydrophilic polymer matrices were used to disperse these compound in aqueous media. Methods and Results: Extrudate solid formulations (ESFs) mediated by various HPMCs (hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses) and Na-Alg polymers made from ultrafine powder of the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai were developed through a physical crosslink method (HME) using an ionization agent (treatment with acetic acid) and different food grade polymers [HPMCs, such as HP55, CN40H, AN6 and sodium alignate (Na-Alg)]. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the amorphization of crystal compounds in the HP55-mediated extrudate solid formulation (HP55-ESF). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated a lower enthalpy (ΔH = 10.62 J/g) of glass transition temperature (Tg) in the HP55-ESF than in the other formulations. Infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that new functional groups were produced in the HP55-ESF. The content of phenolic compounds, flavonoid (including decursin and decursinol angelate) content, and antioxidant activity increased by 5, 10, and 2 times in the HP55-ESF, respectively. The production of water soluble (61.5%) nano-sized (323 ㎚) particles was achieved in the HP55-ESF. Conclusions: Nano-composites were developed herein utilizing melt-extruded solid dispersion technology, including food grade polymer enhanced nano dispersion (< 500 ㎚) of active compounds from the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai with enhanced solubility and bioavailability. These nano-composites of the radix of Angelica gigas Nakai can be developed and marketed as products with high therapeutic performance.

Background: To enhance the taste and physiological characteristics of Lycii fructus (Gugija) extracts, we investigated the changes in the physiological characteristics of Gugija extracts caused by adding white ginseng (WG) and red ginseng (RG) Methods and Results: Gugija extracts, including 10G10, 10GW-G8 : 2, -G6 : 4, -G4 : 6, -G2 : 8, and -G0 (mixtures made by replacing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of Gugija with WG), as well as 10G10, 10GR-G8 : 2, -G6 : 4, -G4 : 6, -G2 : 8, and -G0 (mixture made by replacing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of Gugija with RG) were extracted with water at 10 times the respective mixture's volume. The antioxidant activities of Gugija extracts were investigated by assessing their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azinobis(3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) activity, nitrite scavenging activity, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. As the amount of WG added increased, the DPPH, and, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and FRAP activity of the Gugija extract decreased. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 10G10, 10GW-G6 : 4, 10GR-G6 : 4, and 10GR-G0 for DPPH radical scavenging activity were 25.50 ± 1.04, 52.06 ± 1.46, 16.87 ± 1.24, and 9.50 ± 0.16 ㎕/㎖, respectively. On the other hand, the physiological activity of Gugija extract increased with the addition of increasing amounts of RG. However, ACE inhibitory activity was the highest (50.25 ± 2.58%) in the Gugija 10-fold extract without any added RG. Conclusions: From the above results, we suggest that adding RG to Gugija extracts increase their antioxidant, FRAP, and nitrite scavenging activities.

Background : Hair care products are mainly prepared by mixing chemicals and natural extracts, such as those obtained from medicinal plants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 70% ethanolic extracts from the whole plant of Houttuynia cordata and tymosin β4 powder mixtures on the growth of HaCat cells, hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC), and 3T3-L1 cells. Methods and Results : In the ratio of tymosin β4 more than 10% concentrations, the cell viability of HaCat and HFDPC cell were increased by higher tymosin β4 concentrations. The mixtures of 70% ethanolic extract of H. cordata and tymosin β4 had no toxicity potential to 3T3-L1 cell viability. In this test, the content of thymosin β4 was higher concentration, as the anti-inflammatory effect was increased. The lipid differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells adipogenesis rate significantly increased in a treatment concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion : These results suggest that a optimal mixture ratio of hair growth effect was 70% ethanolic extract of H. cordata solution 50% and tymosin β4 solution 50%. This mixture solution could be used in the development of hair care products.

본 연구는 재래누룩에서 분리 동정한Aspergillus oryzae 83-10(AO)을 활용하여 원료조건에 따른 pellet형 누룩의 특성과 양조특성을 검토하였다. 실험 결과, 원료의 조건은 10분간 증자하여 살균․호화된 원료(S)가 pellet 누룩의 제조에 있어서 안정적이고, 높은 효소력의 생성에 더욱 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 발효경과 32시간 때에 효소활성이 높고, 포자생성에 의한 포자 날림 등이 없어 작업성이 가장 우수하였다. 제조된 pellet 누룩 S-AO(32시간 배양)과 시판되고 있는 재래누룩 SH의 효소활성(dry base, unit/g)을 비교한 결과, glucoamylase 활성 S-AO(325.92) > SH(297.44), α-amylase 활성 S-AO(421.26) > SH(75.12) 및 acidic carboxypeptidase 활성 S-AO(3,803.8) > SH(278.6)으로 pellet 누룩이 재래누룩과 비교해 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타내었으며, 누룩의 일반분석 결과에서는 SH 누룩이 pH, 총산, 아미노산도 모두 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 약주 양조특성 분석 결과 발효가 끝난 시점에 SH 술덧의 가용성고형물과 총산함량이 S-AO 술덧과 비교하여 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, S-AO 술덧은 아미노산 함량과 알코올 함량이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 알코올 함량 분석결과 S-AO 17.96%, SH 12.66%으로 큰 차이를 나타내어 발효 안정성과 수율에 있어서 S-AO 술덧이 높은 평가를 받았다. 발효경과 중 술덧의 효소활성은 누룩의 사용량을 쌀 사용량(g)×30 unit/g(glucoamylase)으로 효소활성 수치에 따라 달리 하였지만 그에 못 미치는 결과를 보였다. 술덧제조 직후 S-AO 26.69 unit/mL, SH 17.58 unit/mL으로 S-AO 시료는 비교적 근접한 수치를 나타내었지만 SH 시료는 상당량 부족한 모습을 보여 이러한 결과는 누룩의 품질 균일성에 의한 것으로 판단되어진다. 이러한 결과로 살균된 통밀을 pellet형 누룩으로 가공하여 국균을 배양하면 기존 재래식 누룩이나 입국에 비하여 품질을 떨어뜨리지 않으며, 제조효율도 상당히 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

Bioremediation in situ is heavily dependent on the oxygenic environment which would privide the dwelling microorganism with sufficient oxygen. The situation could be easily resolved with supply of an Oxygen Releasing Compound (ORC). In this paper we prepared that sort of material out of oyster shell powder (mostly calcium carbonate) that prevails every shore areas of the country. We used two different oxidizing methods in the first step of the whole manufacturing process–conventional heating in a furnace and an ultrasound generator to obtain calcium oxide. Then that calcium oxide was further oxidized into calcium peroxide which may release oxygen under a moisturized condition. The oxygen releasing experiments were run to test the performance of our products, and to determine the gas kinetics during the experiments. Interestingly, calcium peroxide derived from ultrasound treatment was much more energy-effective as ORC than that from furnace heating although the heat derived process was better than that of ultrasound in terms of oxygen content and its releasing rate. We also found that most of the data collected from the gas releasing experiments fairly supported an ordinary 1st order kinetics to oxygen concentration, which shaped a sharp discharge of oxygen at the very early moment of each test.

플루오레세인 구조를 갖는 잔틴계 염료의 형광안료로의 응용 가능성 및 제조되는 안료들의 광학 특성 조절 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 안료 제조에는 수용성 잔틴계 염료인 eosin Y (D&C Red No.22), phloxine B (D&C Red No.28)를 주로 사용하였으며, 염료를 용매에 용해시켜 분체와 분산, 교반 하고 이를 건조시켜 분쇄함으로써 안료를 제조 하였고, 제조된 안료들에 대해서는 형광과 관련한 광학 특성을 측정하였다. 사용한 용매의 종류, 염료의 함량, 그리고 염료의 혼합 투입 비율에 따라서 안료의 광학적 특성이 변함을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 분체에 흡착된 염료 중 일부분이 형광 발색을 하며, 나머지는 형광에 기여하지 않는 것으로 보인다. 안료를 구성하는 분체-염료계 내부의 결합 (혹은 상호작용) 세기와 그 특성을 파악하기 위한 안료 수세실험 결과, 안료 계 내에는 서로 다른 2개 이상의 상호작용이 존재하며, 그 중 하나는 용매-염료 상호작용보다 비교적 강하였다.

호박의 부산물인 호박잎과 씨를 첨가하여 제조한 호박죽과, 발효 공정을 첨가하여 제조한 발효 호박죽 제품의 영양학적 특성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 호박죽의 발효 전과 발효 후 단백질 및 전분 분해효소 활성을 비교한 결과, 발효 후 배지에서 단백질 및 전분 분해효소 활성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 주재료(호박, 호박잎, 호박씨) 함량 65% 중 호박잎과 씨를 각각 0.25% 첨가한 시료(0.5%), 0.5%씩 첨가한 시료(1.0%), 1.0%씩 첨가한 시료(2%)를 발효과정을 거쳐 제조한 분말과, 1.0%(호박잎과 호박씨 각각 0.5% 첨가)로 제조한 분말(비발효, 대조구)의 일반성분 분석 결과, 발효 호박죽 시료의 경우 대조구에 비해 탄수화물과 조단백질 함량이 증가하였고, 수분, 조지방 함량은 감소하였다. 총당 분석 결과, 대조구(26.23±2.15%) 시료가 가장 높았으며, 발효 후 시료(18.31%-19.05%)는 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. Glucose, fructose와 sucrose 등 유리당 함량은 모든 시료에서 검출이 되었으며, fructose와 sucrose 함량은 발효 시료에서 감소하였고, 특히 sucrose 함량은 크게 감소하였다. 총 유리당 함량은 대조구(36.54±1.41%)가 가장 높았으며, 발효처리 시료의 경우 14.93-15.72%로 크게 감소하였고, sucrose 함량 감소가 주원인이었으며, 이는 총당 결과 발효과정에 따라 함량이 감소하는 결과와 일치하였다. 색도 측정결과, L 값(명도)은 대조구 비해 발효과정을 거친 제품의 경우 조금 낮아지는 결과를 보였으나, 이는 발효 유무보다는 재료의 첨가량에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다. a 값(적색도)과 b 값(황색도)의 경우 발효 유무에 따라 차이를 보여 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. 시료간의 색차값을 비교한 ΔE 값은 0.5% 첨가한 발효 호박죽 분말이 10.09, 1.0% 첨가시료가 8.96, 2.0% 첨가시료가 10.34로 나타나 발효과정이 분말 고유의 색에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 호박죽을 제조할 때 호박잎과 호박씨를 각각 1.0% 정도 첨가하여 발효처리를 한 호박죽의 제품이 가장 좋을 것으로 판단된다.
