Dried apple jeonggwa, a traditional Korean dessert, was made using various apple varieties, such as Jonathan, Fuji, and Hongro. After making the dried apple jeonggwa, the physical and sensory properties of the dessert made using different apple varieties were compared. The apple varieties had no differences in moisture content, weight loss, or sugar content. Chromacity differences were observed depending on the varieties, but E was small. Hardness was highest in Jonathan, while resilience was highest in Fuji, but there was no significant difference in hardness. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, color, sweetness, hardness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were highest in Jonathan, while there was no substantial difference among the varieties in terms of flavor, sourness, or adhesiveness.

Silkworms have been developed for food and medicinal purposes, and several silkworm products are commercially available. However, there has been no research on their shelf stability. This study investigated the shelf stability of freeze-dried silkworms during storage at various temperature and humidity conditions, using three lipid oxidation indicators: peroxide, acid, and TBA value. The higher the temperature and relative humidity are, the more significant the three lipid oxidation indicators increase. Among these indicators, the TBA and peroxide values show the highest temperature dependence and humidity dependence, respectively. This study could contribute to the standardization of the shelf life of products made from freeze-dried silkworms.

To safely dispose of highly radioactive spent resin and concentrate waste generated through nuclear power plant operations, it is essential to meet the physicochemical properties requirements of the packages and ensure the accuracy and reliability of radiological characteristics determination. Both spent resin and concentrate are packaged in high-integrity containers (HICs) after drying and are homogeneous waste products generated in the primary system and liquid radioactive waste treatment system. Meeting the physicochemical properties requirements does not appear to be difficult. However, to achieve reliable radiological characterization of high-integrity container packages, it is necessary to take a representative sample and perform accurate radiological analysis. Therefore, this paper discusses the methodology for evaluating the radionuclide inventory of high radioactive resin and concentrate packages, as well as the essential element technology and considerations. For relatively high radioactive resin and concentrate packages, the radionuclide inventory for each package should be evaluated with high reliability through direct radiological analysis of the representative samples collected for each package. This can contribute to the efficient operation of radioactive waste disposal facilities. Radionuclide-specific concentrations directly analyzed for each package will be managed in a database. As analytical data accumulates and direct measurements of high-integrity container package such as the radwaste drum assay system (RAS) become feasible, statistical techniques such as correlation analysis between easy-tomeasure (ETM) nuclides and difficult-to-measure (DTM) nuclides can lead to the development of efficient and reasonable indirect evaluation methods, such as scaling factor and the mean activity concentration method. As for the element technology, a remote representative sampling technique should be developed to safely and effectively take representative samples of highly radioactive materials, including granulated or hardened concentrate waste. Considerations should also be given to determining the sample quantity representing each package, as well as establishing radiation calibration and measurement methods appropriate to the radiation levels of the representative samples.

Golden apple snails(GAS) are native to warm regions such as Central and South America and Southeast Asia, and were first introduced as a high-protein food. GAS are omnivorous and have a habit of eating plants submerged in water, so they have been used for eco-friendly weed control in rice fields since 1992. When the GAS was first introduced, it was thought that it would be impossible to overwinter in Korea. However after 2000, overwintering individuals were founded and damage to rice occurred and the development of means to control GAS has been required. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of an eco-friendly pest control agent using Styrax japonicus that grow naturally in Korea. As a result of exposing GAS to S. japonicus fruit powder, a 100% molluscicidal effect was confirmed at 66.7ppm. To investigate the duration of effect, treatment was performed at the same concentration and molluscicidal effect of more than 90% was up to 3 days after treatment. The killing effect of each part of the S. japonicus was compared, and the seed extracts showed no killing effect at all concentrations, while the sarcocarp extracts showed a 100% killing effect up to 33.3ppm, and the fruit extracts showed a 100% killing effect up to 200ppm.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of a diet supplemented with dried Bacillus subtilis culture on broilers' productivity and blood characteristics. Broiler feeding experiments were conducted twice. The diet fed to the control group was supplemented with 0.2% Palm MateⓇ commercially available probiotics (B. subtilis), and the diet fed to the experimental group was supplemented with ThekerⓇ 0.05% dried B. subtilis culture (DBC) in experiment 1, and 0.1% DBC in experiment 2. Treatment was administered for four weeks in both groups. A higher average daily gain was observed in the group treated with 0.05% DBC in experiment 1 compared with the control group, which was significantly higher in the group that received 0.1% DBC in experiment 2 compared with the control group. A higher production index was observed in the groups that received treatment than in the control group and was higher in the 0.1% DBC group than in the 0.05% DBC group. Significantly lower serum triglyceride (TG) was observed with increased DBC content. Although the findings showed no statistical significance, lower total cholesterol (T-C) was observed in the treated group than in the control group. HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) content showed a significant increase in the DBC-treated groups. A significantly opposite outcome was observed for LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) content. These findings demonstrated that the atherogenic index (AI) and cardiac risk factor (CRF) decreased in the DBC-treated groups. Significantly lower serum levels of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT: aspartate aminotransferase, AST) and glutamate pyruvic transaminase (GPT: alanine transaminase, ALT) were detected with an increase in DBC content in the treated groups compared with the control groups. To summarize the findings described above, adding ThekerⓇ dried B. subtilis culture to broiler feeds positively improved productivity through weight gain of broilers and the production of healthier functional broilers through the improvement of blood lipids and liver function. It is expected that the findings of this study will be helpful in the effort to increase the profitability of broiler chicken farming and promote human health.

In order to investigate the optimal UVB (ultraviolet B) treatment conditions for vitamin D2 enhancement of freeze-dried ear mushroom, sample size (below 300 μm~whole), UV treatment temperature (30~60℃), treatment density (6.25~50.0 mg/cm2) and the samples mixing frequency (1~32 times) were treated differently. After that, chromaticity, vitamin D2 and ergosterol (vitamin D2 precursor) contents were investigated. As a result of the investigating, effective UVB treatment conditions for vitamin D2 enhancement are as follows. The sample sizes were 2~4 mm and finely crushed pieces. The treatment temperatures were 50℃ and 60℃. The treatment density was 12.5 to 25.0 mg/cm2, and the number of sample mixing was 8 times or more. As the amount of vitamin D2 increased by UVB treatment, the ergosterol content generally tended to decrease. However, under some UVB treatment conditions, the vitamin D2 content was not high despite the decrease of ergosterol content. Under the conditions set in this experiment, it was possible to obtain ear mushrooms with enhanced vitamin D2 up to 26,968.7 μg/100 g. Therefore, it is thought that the ear mushroom is highly likely to be used as a vitamin D source and nutritionally fortified food ingredient.

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate amorphous spray-dried microparticles (SDM) containing levosulpiride to increase its solubility. SDM are prepared via solvent evaporation using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the water-soluble polymer and Cremophor RH40 as the surfactant. The SDM is prepared by varying the amounts of PVP and Cremophor RH40, and its physicochemical properties, solubility, and dissolution are confirmed. All levosulpiride-loaded SDMs converted the crystalline drug into an amorphous form, significantly improving drug solubility and dissolution compared with the drug alone. SDM consisting of drug/PVP/Cremophor RH40 in a weight ratio of 5:10:3, with increased solubility (720 ± 36 vs. 1822 ± 51 μg/mL) and dissolution rate (10.3 ± 2.2 vs. 92.6 ± 6.0%) compared with drug alone, shows potential as a commercial drug for improved oral bioavailability of levosulpiride.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of rice cookies containing different percentage of freeze-dried plum powder (3%, 5%, 6%, and 12%). The density of the dough and the thickness of the rice cookies from the control group and the additive group were not significantly different. The pH value of the dough, its moisture content and spread factor, as well as the Hunter’s L and b values of the rice cookies significantly decreased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. However, the sweetness, hardness, thickness, Hunter’s a value, total polyphenol, total flavonoid and anthocyanin contents, DPPH and ABTS free radials scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of the rice cookies significantly increased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. Overall, the results of this study showed that adding dried plum power enhanced the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of rice cookies.

대표적인 짚공예 가운데 하나인 맥간공예(혹은 보릿대 조각공예)는 표면이 매끄럽고 광택이 나는 보릿대를 활용하고 있으며 최근에 국내뿐 아니라 해외로 전파되고 있다. 보릿대 표면의 줄기 방향과 나란한 미세 줄무늬는 맥간공예 작품에 입체감과 각도에 따른 색감을 갖게 한다. 하지만 아직까지 보릿대 표면의 형상과 물성이 체계적으로 분석되지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 실체현미경과 고해상도 3차원 X-ray 현미경을 이용하여 보릿대의 미세구조를 이미징할 뿐만 아니라 보릿대의 물접촉각과 인장 강도를 측정하여 보릿대의 재질을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 보릿대 최외각에 존재하는 4-6 μm 너비의 미세요철에 의한 줄무늬, 소수성을 띈 겉면, 친수성을 띈 속면, 그리고 60 MPa 정도의 줄기 방향의 항복강도를 갖는 보릿대 특성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 분석 방법으로 볏짚을 비롯한 다른 짚공예에 사용되는 짚 재료의 특성을 파악한다면 짚의 재질을 최대로 활용한 새로운 짚공예로 이어질 것이다.

In this study, the authors investigated the quality characteristics of convenient rice porridge made from powder (PR) and half-rice (HR) sized freeze-dried cooked rice using Samgwang and Jinsumi rice. The hydration properties of the freeze-dried cooked rice and the color, viscosity, spreadability, and sensory evaluation of porridge were measured. PR showed significantly higher water-binding capacity, solubility, and swelling power than HR for both varieties (p<0.05). As a result of the quality characteristic of the porridge, PR showed significantly higher lightness, redness, yellowness, viscosity, and spreadability than HR (p<0.05). Acceptance testing showed that HR had significantly better results for all acceptance attributes than PR (p<0.05). Jinsumi HR showed better consumer acceptance for taste, texture, and overall acceptability than Samgwang HR (p<0.05). Intensity evaluations of sensory properties revealed that the Samgwang PR was more spreadable but was less chewy than Samgwang HR. Furthermore, Jinsumi HR had higher transparency, greater spreadability, and a better cooked-rice odor and savory taste than Samgwang HR (p<0.05). These results confirm that convenient porridges can be produced using freezedried cooked rice.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has recently emerged as an ideal disinfectant and has shown a wide range of antimicrobial activities in various pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, the virucidal effect of ClO2 at low concentration (0.02 ppm) and higher concentration (0.06 – 0.09 ppm) against Adenovirus and Herpesvirus was evaluated based on the NF T 72-281 and ASTM 1053-11 standard methods at different exposure times. The virus suspension was dried onto the carrier and then exposed to gaseous ClO2 (gClO2) at 22 ± 2∘C. For Adenovirus, exposure at a low concentration of ClO2 at the middle height resulted in the average log10 reduction of 0.95, 2.65, and 5.30 after 1, 3, and 6 h post-exposure (pe), respectively. Moreover, more than 4-log10 reduction was achieved at 4 and 6 h pe with higher concentrations of ClO2. On the other hand, the antiviral activity of gClO2 at the middle height was also effective against Herpesvirus. In particular, at 1 h pe, a less than 4-log10 reduction was observed at all examined concentrations of ClO2, whereas exposure for 3 and 6 h (with low concentration) or 2 h (with higher concentration) inactivated completely viruses attached to the carrier. These results suggested that ClO2 fumigation is a potential alternative method for disinfecting healthcare facilities, high-containment laboratories, and households with a safe concentration for human health.

본 연구에서는 울산지역에서 유통되는 건조농산물의 잔 류농약 실태를 조사하기 위해 150건을 수거하여 잔류농약 분석을 실시하였다. 잔류농약 208항목을 식품공전 다성분 분석법을 이용하여 실시하였으며 29건(19.3%)에서 잔류농 약이 검출되었다. 품목별로 분류하면 고추 품목에서 7건, 취나물에서 4건, 곤드레에서 3건, 대추, 무(잎), 가지에서 각 2건, 귤, 부지깽이, 고구마줄기, 여주, 고사리, 무(뿌리), 사과,감잎차, 고추잎에서 각 1건씩 검출되었다. 검출된 잔류농 약을 성분별로 분류하면 살균제성분이 60%, 살충제성분 이 23.8%, 살충제, 살비제로 작용하는 성분이 16.3% 검출 되어 살균제가 가장 많이 검출되었다. 가장 많이 검출된 잔류농약은 Tebuconazole, Pyraclostrobin, Difenoconazole, Azoxystrobin이다. 분석결과 2건에서 3항목의 잔류농약이 잔류허용기준을 초과하여 부적합으로 판정되었으나, 위해 도 평가결과 0.00002-0.3140%범위로 나타나 모두 안전한 것으로 판단되었다.

국내 음식부산물 발생량은 연간 약 500만톤으로 그 중 70 %가량은 퇴비화 또는 사료화로 자원화되고 있다. 최근 비료공정규격상 음식부산물 건조분말(DFP)이 혼합유기질비료 및 유기복합비료의 원료로 사용할 수 있게 되었지만 아직 적정사용기준에 대한 설정이 미흡한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구는 수집 시기별 음식부산물 건조분말의 화학적 특성을 평가하고 음식부산물 건조분말이 혼합된 혼합유기질비료의 사용량에 따른 작물 및 토양화학성 변화에 대해 평가하고자 하였다. 처리구는 무처리(NF), 무기질비료처리구(NPK, N-P2O5-K2O=32-7.8-19.8 kg 10a-1), 음식부산물 건조분말 단독처리구(DFP), 시판혼합유기질비료(MOF), 음식부산물 건조분말 혼합유기질비료 처리구(DFPMOF)이며 DFPMOF 처리구는 100, 200, 400 및 600%로 구분하여 설정하였다. DFP, MOF 및 DFPMOF 처리구는 질소비료 사용량을 기준으로 하여 비료처리를 하여 작물 재배실험을 진행하였다. 음식부산물의 화학적 특성은 시기별에 따라서 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 중금속 함량 또한 기준에 적합한 수준이었다. 배추 생산량은 DFPMOF 처리구가 6,280 kg 10a-1로 NPK처리구(7,000 g kg-1)와 가장 유사하였으며 질소이용효율 또한 유사한 경향이었다. 토양 pH는 DFPMOF 사용량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었으며, EC, OM 및 Ex. K는 DFPMOF 사용량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었다. 이를 통해 DFPMOF 는 질소비료사용량 기준으로 처리하였을 때 가장 적합할것으로 판단되나, 적정사용기준을 설정하기 위해서는 장기간 연용시험을 통한 환경영향평가가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
