Physicochemical and sensory properties of puffed rice snack containing various levels (0%, 50%, 100%) of alkali-cooked brown rice were examined. To prepare alkali-cooked rice, brown rice was cooked in boiling 2% Ca(OH)2solution for 5 min, steeped for 3 h, and dried at 50oC for 18 h. Alkali-cooked rice showed a higher degree ofexpansion than that of untreated rice after puffing. Although moisture content, enzyme susceptible starch (ESS), anddensity of puffed rice snack decreased with increasing amounts of the alkali-cooked rice replacement, calcium con-tent increased because of the absorption of calcium during alkaline processing. The puffed rice snack had a darkercolor as the level of replacement with alkali-cooked rice increased. A sensory test revealed that puffed rice snackreplaced with 50% of alkali-cooked rice had no significant differences in color and sensory attributes from those ofthe control. These results indicate that fortification of calcium could be achieved by partial replacement of alkali-cooked rice without any detrimental effects on the quality of puffed rice snack.

Ti scaffolds with a three-dimensional porous structure were successfully fabricated using powder metallurgy and modified rapid prototyping (RP) process. The fabricated Ti scaffolds showed a highly porous structure with interconnected pores. The porosity and pore size of the scaffolds were in the range of 66~72% and 300~400 μm, respectively. The sintering of the fabricated scaffolds under the vacuum caused the Ti particles to bond to each other. The strength of the scaffolds depended on the layering patterns. The compressive strength of the scaffolds ranged from 15 MPa to 52 MPa according to the scaffolds' architecture. The alkali treatment of the fabricated scaffolds in an aqueous NaOH solution was shown to be effective in improving the bioactivity. The surface of the alkali-treated Ti scaffolds had a nano-sized fibre-like structure. The modified surface showed a good apatite forming ability. The apatite was formed on the surface of the alkali treated Ti scaffolds within 1 day. The thickness of the apatite increased when the soaking time in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution increased. It is expected that the surface modification of Ti scaffolds by alkali treatment could be effective in forming apatites in vivo and can subsequently enhance bone formation.

침엽수와 활엽수 펄프내의 리그닌(lignin) 제거 효과를 개선하기 위해 호알칼리성 균류인 Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202의 xylanase를 표백 전처리하고 이에 의한 펄프의 표백 증진 효과를 조사하였다. 두 종류의 펄프 모두 50℃에서 효소반응을 수행하였을 때 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해가 가장 높게 나타났다. 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해를 위한 효소의 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, pH 9.0에서도 최대활성의 90%

In order to investigate the amino acid and fatty acid content in Thuja biotae water extract treated with alkaline, it was performed. There are 16 kinds of different amino acid and 20 kinds of different fatty acid in Thuja biotae water extract. An aspartic acid was contained 52％ and proline was contained 10％, particulary, r-aminobutyric acid was analysed. Essential fatty acids; linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid were cotained a lot amount. There are 11 different unknown materials which were identified by GC-MS spectrum, such as N-[(4α,5α)-cholestan-4-yl]-acetamide; 22,26-Epithio-furost-5-en-3-ol; 2-Methyl-6-(4-methyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-4-heptanone; 3,12,14-Tris(acetyloxy)-pregnane-15,20-dione;22-Methyl-26-thio-furost-5-en-3-ol; 7-Ethenyl-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,9,10,10a-dodecahydro-1,4a,7-trimethyl-1-phenanthrene carboxyaldehyde; Methoxyiminopro-panedioic acid; 13-Methyl-13-β-Methyl-13-vinyl-dodecaarp-7-en-3-3-ol; 22-Methyl-26-thio-furost-6-methyl-3-ol; 5α-Androstane-2,11-dione; 9-Methyl-heptadecanoic acid.

밤의 효율적 박피 방법을 개발하기 위하여 산 및 알카리 처리에 의한 내피 및 외피의 박피효과를 조사하고, 밤의 형태학적, 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 알카리 처리에 의한 밤 내피의 박피 정도는 4%, NaOH 15분 처리시 박피가 가장 잘 되었으며, 산처리에 의한 박피는 3% HCIO 농도로 5에서 30분 처리시 박피가 가장 잘 되었다. 그러나 이러한 화학적 처리시 온도가 높아지고 처리시간이 길어질수록 색상, 경도 등의 품질저하가 나타나 낮은 온도
