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.

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.

A study of the tissue depletion of florfenicol (FFC) administered orally to pigs at a dose of 0.05 kg/ton feed for 7 days was performed. Sixteen healthy cross swine were administered with FFC. Four treated animals were arbitrarily selected to be sacrificed 1, 3 and 5 days after the end of treatment. FFC residue concentrations in muscle, liver, kidney, and fat were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet photometric detector at 230 nm. The correlation coefficient (R2) of the calibration curve for florfenicol amine (FFCa) was > 0.997 and the limits of detection and quantification were 0.012 and 0.040 μg/mL, respectively. Recovery rates in swine edible tissues ranged from 79.1 to 93.5%. In the FFC-treated group, FFC residues at 3 days post-treatment were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) in muscle, kidney and fat, and those at 5 days post-administration were below the MRLs in all edible tissues. These results suggest that the withdrawal period of FFC after the drug treatment might be 5 days, which is a sufficient amount of time for reduction of the FFC residues below the MRLs in all edible tissues.

자외선차단 화장품은 기능성 화장품 중의 하나로서, 유·무기 자외선차단물질이 함유되어 있다. 무기계 자외선차단제는 주로 산화아연, 이산화티탄 등이 있다. 무기계 자외선차단제는 입자의 지름이 60 ~ 100 nm로 자외선 A, B의 차단능이 좋은 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 자외선을 포함한 태양광선에 대해 비활성이 크고 안전성이 우수하다. 그리고 유기계 자외선차단제처럼 피부에 흡수 또는 축적되지 않으므로 피부 자극이나 알레르기를 유발하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 판상 무기안료인 마이카, 자외선차단 효과를 갖는 이산화티탄 나노입자, 소수성 실리카를 각각 계면활성제로 표면처리 하였고, 각 물질의 전하 차이에 따른 비화학적인 상호 인력 작용에 의해 마이카에 이산화티탄 나노입자, 실리카를 물리적으로 흡착시켰다. 이후, 소수성 표면처리제인 실란을 표면처리 하여 소수성을 갖는 자외선 차단 판상 마이카 복합체를 제조하였다. 자외선 차단 판상 마이카 복합체는 일반적인 나노입자 이산화티탄의 응집성을 개선하고 균일한 분산에 따른 자외선차단 효과가 증대되었으며, 소수성으로 표면처리를 하여 화장품 제형에서의 분산안정성을 크게 개선할 수 있었다. 안료의 표면전하는 제타전위로 평가하였으며, 제조된 자외선차단 마이카 복합체의 특성 평가는 FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, UV-VIS 등으로 확인하였다.

Effects of a commercial scale intervention system combining ultraviolet (UV)-C and plasma treatments on the microbial decontamination of black pepper powder were investigated. The process parameters include treatment time, time for plasma accumulation before treatment, and water activity of black pepper powder. A significant reduction in the number of indigenous aerobic mesophilic bacteria in black pepper powder was observed after treatments lasted for ≥ 20 min (p<0.05) and the reduction was differed by powder manufacturer. The microbial reduction rates obtained by individual UV-C treatment, individual plasma treatment, and UV-C/plasma-combined treatment were 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 log CFU/g, respectively, suggesting that the efficacy of the microbial inactivation was enhanced by treatment combination. Nonetheless, neither plasma accumulation time nor powder water activity affected the microbial inactivation efficacy of the combined treatment. The UV-C/plasma-combined treatment, however, decreased lightness of black pepper powder, and the decrease generally increased as operation time increased. The plasma accumulation time of 20 min resulted in significant reduction in both lightness and brown color. The results indicate that the commercial-scale intervention system combining treatments of UV-C and plasma has the potential to be applied in the food industry for decontaminating black pepper powder.

Mycelial growth of Oyster mushroom is very important. Because the management of careless mycelial growth can be caused contamination and low yield of fruit body. To reduce contamination, it is necessary to maintain clean cooling room, inoculation room and cultivation room. First of all, we investigate death rate of microorganism according to ultraviolet(uv) irradiation in cooling room, inoculation room and contamination rate according to sterilization condition of substrate. Though contamination rates according to sterilization conditions were not showed big differences, the amount of electricity-used was the lowest at 121°C for 90 minute. As results of UV irradiation time effect on death rate of microorganism, density of bacteria was not detected after UV irradiation for 6 hours by using UV lamp(40watt) in the room of 56m3. However the death rate of fungi is not big in the same UV irradiation conditions.

In the present study, the effects of extracts from Korean plants on the DNA damage response in HaCaT cells exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) were investigated. The activity of cells treated for 24 hr with ethanol extracts from Vaccinium spp. (VS), and Vitis vinifera L (VV) alone was similar to that of the non-treated control, but gradually decreased at concentrations above 200μg/mL. However, when post-incubation of UVB-exposed cells was carried out for 24 hr in medium containing VS or VV extracts, the cell activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner compared with that in the normal growth medium. The cell viability of UVB-exposed cells also increased when post-incubated in medium containing VS or VV extracts, in a concentration-dependent manner. Nuclear fragmentation analysis showed that post-incubation with VS or VV extracts decreased the UVB-induced apoptosis by about 10 and 13%, respectively, of that in cells post-incubated in growth medium. After 24 hr of post-incubation in medium containing VS or VV extracts, the level of CPD and 8-OHdG decreased in time- and concentration-dependent manners. Overall these results suggest that VS and VV extracts assist the survival of UVB-exposed cells, in accordance with the respective decrease in the levels of UVB-induced DNA damage.
