Physicochemical properties and storage stability of plant-based alternative meat prepared with low-fat soybean powder (LPAM) treated by supercritical-CO2 and those of full-fat soybean powder (FPAM) were compared. Ash and crude protein contents were higher in LPAM than in FRAM. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM. Water binding capacity was higher in LPAM than in FPAM during a 20 days storage period at 5℃ and pH was significantly lower in LPAM than in FPAM after a 5~10 days storage period. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness significantly increased with the increase in the storage period, and the three were significantly higher in LPAM than in FPAM after 10 days and 20 days of storage. The acid value showed no remarkable difference according to the storage period in LPAM; however, it was significantly higher in FPAM than in LPAM after 20 days of storage. The peroxide value and TBA value were significantly increased according to the storage period, and were significantly lower iin LPAM than in FPAM during all the storage periods. Therefore, the use of low-fat soybean powder may be effective in improving oxidative stability during storage in the production of plant-based alternative meat.

시설재배지 고추를 가해하는 꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis)를 대상으로 미끌애꽃노린재(Orius laevigatus)를 이용한 생물적 방 제가 검토되고 있다. 그러나 대상 해충의 빠른 집단 성장은 화학 살충제의 투입이 때에 따라 요구된다. 본 연구는 화학 살충제와 천적의 이상적 종합 방제를 구현하기 위한 목적으로 선택성이 높은 살충제 선발 및 이들 살충제 처리 이후 미끌애꽃노린재의 안전한 재투입 시기를 결정하기 위해 수행 되었다. 첫째로 꽃노랑총채벌레에 방제 효과가 높은 상용 살충제가 선발되었다. 총 17종류의 상용 살충제 가운데 5종류(pyriproxyfen+ spinetoram, abamectin, spinosad, acetamiprid, chlorpyrifos) 주성분을 갖는 상용 살충제가 꽃노랑총채벌레에 우수한 방제효과를 주는 약제로 선발되었다. 이들 5종류의 살충제에 대해서 미끌애꽃노린재의 감수성 반응은 꽃노랑총채벌레와 상이하였다. 특별히 아바멕틴과 스피네토람이 유 기인계 또는 네오니코티노이드에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 독성을 보였다. 이들 5종류의 살충제 처리 이후 잔류 독성을 미끌애꽃노린재를 이용하여 생물검정한 결과 유기인계 및 네오니코티노이드 약제는 비교적 오랜 기간 독성을 유지하지만, 아바멕틴과 스피네토람 약제의 경우 3일 이후에는 대상 천적에 피해를 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 잔류독성결과는 LC-MS/MS를 이용한 농약 잔류량 화학분석을 통해 뒷받침되었다. 이상 의 결과는 높은 밀도로 증가한 꽃노랑총채벌레에 대해서 이 해충에 살충성이 높은 아바멕틴 또는 스피네토람의 약제를 살포하고 이후 3일 지나 미 끌애꽃노린재의 투입을 통해 대상 해충의 평균 밀도를 경제적피해수준 이하로 유지할 수 있다는 종합방제 기술을 제시하고 있다.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of soil stabilization method for soft shoulder construction in the iRoad Project of Sri Lanka. METHODS: Firstly, the quantitative analysis of soil strength improvement due to soil stabilization was done for soil samples collected from iRoad construction sites. Two types of soils were selected from iRoad Project sites and prepared for soil stabilization testing by the Road Development Authority. Secondly, the appropriate stabilizer was selected at given soil type based on test results. Two different stabilizers, ST-1 and ST-2, produced in Korea were used for estimating soil strength improvements. Finally, the optimum stabilizer content was determined for improving shoulder performance. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test was conducted to evaluate the strength of stabilized soil samples in accordance with ASTM D 1633. The use of bottom ash as a stabilizer produced from power plant in Sri Lanka was also reviewed in this task. RESULTS: It is found from the UCS testing that a 3% use of soil stabilizer can improve the strength up to 2~5 times in stabilized soft shoulder soils with respect to unstabilized soils. It is also observed from UCS testing that the ST-1 shows high strength improvement in 3% of stabilizer content but the strength improvement rate with increase of stabilizer content is relatively low compared with ST-2. The ST-2 shows a low UCS value at 3% of content but the UCS values increase significantly with increase of stabilizer content. When using the ST-2 as stabilizing agent, the 5% is recommended as minimum content based on UCS testing results. Based on the testing results for bottom ash replacement, the stabilized sample with bottom ash shows the low strength value. CONCLUSIONS: This paper is intended to check the feasibility for use the soil stabilization technique for shoulder construction in Sri Lanka. The use of soil stabilizer enables to improve the durability and strength in soft shoulder materials. When applying the bottom ash as a soil stabilizer, various testings should be conducted to satisfy the specification criteria.

Climate change is believed to increase the amount of dissolved organic matter in surface water, as a result of the release of bulk organic matter, which make difficult to achieve a high quality of drinking water via conventional water treatment techniques. Therefore, the natural water treatment techniques, such as managed aquifer recharge (MAR), can be proposed as a alternative method to improve water quality greatly. Removal of bulk organic matter using managed aquifer recharge system is mainly achieved by biodegradation. Biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) and assimilable organic carbon (AOC) can be used as water quality indicators for biological stability of drinking water. In this study, we compared the change of BDOC and AOC with respect to pretreatment methods (i.e., ozone or peroxone). The oxidative pretreatment can transform the recalcitrant organic matter into readily biodegradable one (i.e., BDOC and AOC). We also investigated the differences of organic matter characteristics between BDOC and AOC. We observed the decreases in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and the tryptophan-like fluorescence intensities. Liquid chromatographic - organic carbon detection (LC-OCD) analysis also showed the reduction of the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction (15% removed, less than 500 Da), which is known to be easily biodegradable, and the biopolymers, high molecular weight fractions (66%). Therefore, BDOC consists of a broad range of organic matter characteristics with respect to molecular weight. In AOC, low molecular weight organic matter and biopolymers fraction was reduced by 11 and 6%, respectively. It confirmed that biodegradation by microorganisms as the main removal mechanism in AOC, while BDOC has biodegradation by microorganism as well as the sorption effects from the sand. O3 and O3 + H2O2 were compared with respect to biological stability and dissolved organic matter characteristics. BDOC and AOC were determined to be about 1.9 times for O3 and about 1.4 times for O3 + H2O2. It was confirmed that O3 enhanced the biodegradability by increasing LMW dissolved organic matter.

상압 유전체 장벽 콜드 플라스마 처리(atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge-cold plasma treatment, DBD-CPT)를 이용한 살모넬라 저해 효과에 닭가슴살 큐브의 표면 특성이 미치는 영향과 살모넬라 저해를 위한 최적 DBD-CPT 조건 그리고 최적 조건의 DBD-CPT 가 닭가슴살 큐브의 품질 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 분리 유청 단백(Whey protein isolate, WPI) 용액으로 코팅하거나 혹은 코팅하지 않은 닭가슴살 큐브(1.51.51.5 cm3, 3.8 g)를 준비하여 Salmonella (~7 log CFU/sample)를 접종하였다. 접종된 닭가슴살 큐브를 폴리 에틸렌 포장재 중심에 위치시킨 후 CP형성 전압(25-38.9 kV)과 처리 시간(2-5 min)에 대해 반응 표면 중심 합성법으로 설계한 처리 조건들로 DBD-CPT하였다. Salmonella 저해에 대한 최적 조건은 반응 표면 분석을 이용해 결정되었고 최적 조건의 DBD-CPT 가 닭가슴살 큐브의 품질 특성에 미치는 영향은 TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values) 값과 색도(CIE L*a*b*), 그리고 닭고기 조직감의 연한 정도의 지표인 전단응력(Shear force)을 통해 관찰하였다. DBD-CPT 는 코팅한 닭가슴살에서 3.8 ± 0.3 log CFU/sample, 코팅하지 않은 닭가슴살에서 1.4 ± 0.4 log CFU/sample만큼의 Salmonella 저해를 보였고, 이를 통해 코팅으로 형성 된 평평한 표면이 DBD-CPT 의 Salmonella 저해 효과를 증진시켰음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 반응표면 분석을 통해 결정된 Salmonella 저해에 대한 최적 CP 형성 전압과 처리 시간은 각각 38.9 kV와 3.6 min이었다. 최적 조건에서의 DBD-CPT 에 의해 Salmonella는 3.9 ± 0.4 log CFU/sample만큼 저해를 보였다. 한편 최적 조건에서의 DBD-CPT 는 TBARS 값, 색도, 그리고 전단 응력에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않았다. DBD-CPT 는 상업적 포장재에 포장되어 있는 조리 닭가슴살 큐브의 Salmonella 를 효과적으로 저해하였으며, 닭가슴살의 품질 특성에는 영향을 미치지 않았으므로 포장된 육류-즉석 섭취 식품의 효과적인 살균 방법으로 제안될 수 있다고 사료 되었다.

We have investigated the washing method of as-synthesized CdSe/ZnS core/shell structure quantum dots (QDs) and the effective surface passivation method of the washed QDs using PMMA. The quantum yield (QY%) of assynthesized QDs decreases with time, from 79.3% to 21.1%, owing to surface reaction with residual organics. The decreased QY% is restored to the QY% of as-synthesized QDs by washing. However, the QY% of washed QDs also decreases with time, owing to the absence of surface passivation layer. On the other hand, the PMMA-treated QDs maintained a relatively higher QY% after washing than that of the washed QDs that were kept in toluene solution for 30 days. Formation of the PMMA coating layer on CdSe/ZnS QD surface is confirmed by HR-TEM and FT-IR. It is found that the PMMA surface coating, when combined with washing, is useful to be applied in the storage of QDs, owing to its long-term stability.

안정동위원소 분석기법(SIA)은 생태학 및 환경학적 측면에서 유기물의 기원 추적 및 생지화학적인 문제를 해결함에 있어서 유용하기 때문에 그 사용이 꾸준히 증가되고 있다. C, N, S, H, O 등의 원소는 모두 하나 이상의 동위원소를 가지고 있으며, 동위원소 조성비는 질량분석기를 이용하여 매우 정밀하게 측정할 수 있다. 이러한 동위원소 조성비는 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 반응을 통한 분별작용으로 인하여 예측 가능한 방식으로 변경된다. 더 나아가 안정동위원소 기법은 생태와 환경 학문에서 유기물의 기원을 밝히고, 생태계내 먹이망 구조를 밝히고, 영양염 등의 질산염 순환을 이해하고, 동물의 이동경로를 밝히고, 오염원을 추적하는 등 매우 강력한 도구로서 사용할 수 있다. 그러므로 생태학 및 환경학 분야에서 안정동위원소의 활용이 매우 유용하다.

PURPOSES : As a research to develop a cement treated base course for an airport pavement which can enhance its drainage, this paper investigated the strength, infiltration performance and durability of the pervious concrete with respect to maximum coarse aggregate sizes and compaction methods. METHODS : This study measured compressive strength, infiltration rate, continuous porosity and freeze-thaw resistance of pervious concrete specimens, which were fabricated with five different compaction methods and different maximum aggregate sizes. In addition, in order to reduce the usage of Portland cement content and to enhance environment-friendliness, a portion of the cement was replaced with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). RESULTS: Compressive strength requirement, 5 MPa at 7 days, was met for all applied compaction methods and aggregate sizes, except for the case of self-compaction. Infiltration rate became increased as the size of aggregate increased. The measured continuous porosities varied with the different compaction methods but the variation was not significant. When GGBS was incorporated, the strength requirement was successfully satisfied and the resistance to freezing-thawing was also superior to the required limit. CONCLUSIONS: The infiltration rate increased as the maximum size of aggregate increased but considering construct ability and supply of course aggregate, its size is recommended to be 25mm. With the suggested mix proportions, the developed pervious concrete is expected to successfully meet requirements for strength, drainage and durability for cement treated base or subbase course of an airport pavement.
