Background : Angelica gigas is a biennial or short lived perennial plant found in China, Japan, and Korea. The root of Angelica gigas has been used in oriental traditional medicine and is marketed as a functional food product in Europe and North America. Cham-Dang-Gui (Korean Angelica, the dried root of Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN)) has been principally cultivated in Korea and used as a Korean medicinal herb. It contains several chemicals, such as pyranocoumarins, essential oils, and polyacetylenes. Methods and Results : Fresh Angelica gigas Nakai was purchased from Pyeongchang (Korea). Standard samples of D, DA were obtained from Korea Promotion Institute for Traditional Medicine Industry (Gyeongsan, Korea). Soluplus was purchased from BASF (Ludwigshafen, Germany). AGN was dried in the oven at 55°C for 24 h and cooled at room temperature. The AGN sample was then stored at 4°C until milling. Oral solid formulations based on Angelica gigas Nakai and Soluplus were prepared by the hot melt extrusion (HME) method. AGN was pulverized into coarse and ultrafine particles, and their particle size and morphology were investigated. Ultrafine AGN particles were used in the HME process with high shear to produce AGN-based formulations. In simulated gastrointestinal fluids (pH 1.2 and pH 6.8) and water, significantly higher amounts of the major active components of AGN, decursin (D) and decursinol angelate (DA), were extracted from the HME-processed AGN/Soluplus group than the AGN EtOH extract group (p < 0.05). Based on an in vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats, the relative oral bioavailability of decursinol (DOH), a hepatic metabolite of D and DA, in administered mice was 8.75-fold higher than in AGN EtOH ext-treated group. Conclusion : Soluplus-included solid formulation prepared by HME can be a promising carrier for oral delivery of phytochemicals. These findings suggest that HME-processed AGN/Soluplus formulation could be a promising therapeutic candidate for oral bioavailability.

CO2 emitted from building materials and construction materials industry reaches about 67 million tons, which occupy about 30% of CO2 emitted from the construction field. Controls on the use of consumed fossil fuels and reduction of emission gases are essential for the reduction of CO2 in the construction area as we reduce the second and third curing to emit CO2 in the construction materials industry. Accordingly, this study applied the low energy curing admixture (hereinafter “LA”) to the extruded panels to observe the physical properties, depending on the mixing amount of fiber, type of fiber and mixing ratio of fiber. The type of fiber did not appear to be a main factor to affect strength, while the LA mixing ratio and mixing amount of fiber appeared to be major factors to affect strength. Especially, the highest strength was developed when the LA mixing ratio was 40%, whereas the test object with the mixing ratio of 50% resulted in the decrease of strength. In addition, it appeared that the mixing ratio of fiber greatly affected flexural strength and strength increased as the mixing ratio increased.

This paper aims at developing an environmentally friendly modular dome structure system with highly filled extrusion wood-plastic composite (WPC) member, and manufacturing a real-size specimen by modularizing members and nodes. The member used in the model is the WPC member with 70% wooden fiber contests, which is higher then previous WPC one. Its members and nodes are modularized by analyzing geometric characteristics of icosahedral-based geodetic dome. Applicapability of the 6ea prototype nodes and 3ea prototype members to the modular dome is examined with the results of the modulaization and the making process for the real-size specimen. Besides, from the analysis results, the lowest buckling mode is expected to be a nodal buckling on a node near the boundary.

Carbon dioxide generated from construction materials and construction material industry among the fields ofconstruction is approximately 67million tons. It is about 30% of the carbon dioxide generated in the fields of construction.In order to reduce carbon dioxide in the fields of construction, it is necessary to control the use of fossil fuel consumedand decrease carbon emission by reducing the secondary and tertiary curing generating carbon dioxide in constructionmaterial industry. Therefore, this study produced an extrusion panel by using cement as the base materials and substitutingbinding materials up to 40% to analyze strength characteristics. According to the results of strength characteristics bythe replacement binder (Low energy curing Admixture) showed an apparent active strength improvement. In particular,specimens substituting binder as 45% indicated the greatest strength improvement. When binding materials was used withsubstitution, it showed strength characteristics similar or higher than specimens made from tertiary autoclave curing assecondary steam curing.

This study was designed to maximize extract yields of functional components in Angelica gigas Nakai by extrusion process.

The aim of this investigation was to examine the influence of extrusion on dietary fiber profile and the contentof bioactive compounds, rutin and quercetin in young sprout, whole seed, and matured stem of Tartary buckwheat.WSI(water soluble index) is increased by a function of both screw profile and process temperature, compared to control indifferent parts of Buckwheat. Also, WSI of ME is increased more than 5.2 times in grain, compared to that of control. Theeffect of precooking by extrusion on the dietary fiber profile of buckwheat flour was evaluated. Precooking by extrusion sig-nificantly increased SDF in flour, although in most cases extrusion decrease in TDF a little. The thermo-mechanical treat-ment undergone by the buckwheat flour during extrusion led to redistribute part IDF fraction to SDF, leading to an increasein the latter. The content of rutin was increased about two fold in extruded flour of sprout, compared to in control. Thisincrease maybe why these compounds are released from cell wall by high shear processing under high temperature.

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of process variables which were forming ability, flow displacement, effective stress, effective strain, fluid vector and products defects on manufactured artificial lightweight aggregate made of both incinerated sewage sludge ash and clay by means of the numerical analysis of a rigid-plastic finite element method. CATIA (3D CAD program) was used for an extrusion metal mold design that was widely used in designing aircraft, automobile and metallic molds. A metal forming analysis program (ATES Co.) had a function of a rigid-plastic finite element method was used to analyze the program. The result of extrusion forming analysis indicated clearly that a shape retention of the manufactured artificial lightweight aggregate could be maintained by increasing the extrusion ratio (increasing compressive strength inside of extrusion die) and decreasing the die angle. The stress concentration of metal mold was increased by increasing an extrusion ratio, and it was higher in a junction of punch and materials, friction parts between a bottom of the punch and inside of a container, a place of die angle and a place of die of metal mold. Therefore, a heat treatment as well as a rounding treatment for stress distribution in the higher stress concentration regions were necessary to extend a lifetime of the metallic mold. A deformity of the products could have made from several factors which were a surface crack, a lack of the shape retention and a crack of inside of the products. Specially, the surface crack in the products was the most notably affected by the extrusion ratio.
