This study aims to measure sedimentation status change with the changes in internal pressure for dry chemical extinguishers of various use periods and analyze the suitability of the fire extinguishers' performance criteria. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher is 0%, 2 out of 10 new dry chemical powders for the 5 elapsed years were noted to be suitable, including 3 recycled dry chemical powders with 5 elapsed years that were found eligible. One out of 10 new dry chemical powders for 10 elapsed years was shown as suitable. Also, one new dry chemical powder for 13 elapsed years was suitable. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher was 50%, all 10 out of 10 new dry chemical powders for 5 years, recycled one with 5 elapsed years, and a new one with 10 elapsed years were found to be suitable, while 9 new dry chemical powders for 13 years were shown as suitable. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher was normal, new ones with 5 elapsed years, recycled ones with 5 elapsed years, new ones with 10 elapsed years, and new ones with 13 elapsed years were all 10 out of 10 samples noted as suitable. In summarizing the experiment results, it was found that the sedimentation status, one of the fire extinguisher's physical properties experiments, affects the fire extinguisher's performance criteria rather than the change with use periods.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of emulsion-type chicken breast sausages containing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) powder. The chicken breast and BSFL powder were added at various mixing ratios (C:chicken breast 56% and BSFL powder 0%, 1%:chicken breast 55% and BSFL powder 1%, 2%:chicken breast 54% and BSFL powder 2%, 3%:chicken breast 53% and BSFL powder 3%). The pH, moisture content, and water holding capacity of the sausages increased with the powder amount. In the instrumental color evaluation, the L* and b* values were significantly different among the samples (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in a* value (P>0.05) with the amount of powder added. Volatile basic nitrogen and acid value tended to increase with the amount of BSFL powder. The total phenolic content tended to increase, but the value of IC50 according to DPPH radical scavenging decreased as the amount of powder increased. This study concluded that BSFL powder can be used in meat products processing as a substitute for meat protein and may also improve antioxidant activity.

The issue surrounding the problem of air pollution arising from rapid industrialization is one that is being continuously raised for discussion among the public, and concerns about indoor air quality have emerged both at home and abroad due to the longer periods of time spent indoors in modern times. Various studies are being conducted to solve this problem, and photocatalysts are also being studied as a solution. Accordingly, this research sought to verify the performance of reducing indoor pollutants by applying photocatalysts to building materials. As a result of evaluating the indoor pollutant reduction performance, it was confirmed that acetaldehyde was reduced by about 31%, toluene 29%, and total volatile compounds by 11%, and adhesion strength, an important factor regarding finishing material, was also enhanced 1.3 times or more based on Korean Industrial Standards. From these results, it is believed that indoor air pollution can be lowered to a certain extent through building materials using photocatalysts, and, therefore, research on long-term performance verification and evaluation methods should be continuously conducted and pursued in the future in relation to photocatalysts.

This study examined the quality characteristics of chicken breast emulsion-type sausages manufactured with different contents of Zanthoxylumschinifolium (Z.S.) powder (0, 1, 2 and 3%). The changes to the samples upon inclusion of Z.S. powder were monitored by measuring the proximate composition, pH, color, cooking yield, viscosity, texture profile analysis and protein solubility. The sausages manufactured with increasing amounts of Z.S. powder showed a decrease significantly in fat content (p<0.05), whereas the ash content increased. The pH of the cooked samples also decreased significantly with the increasing content of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). Before and after cooked lightness significantly decreased as the Z.S. powder content increased (p<0.05). The redness of the cooked samples also increased significantly with an increasing amount of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). Samples that contained 2% and 3% of Z.S. powder resulted in a significantly larger cooking yield compared to the control sample and the one containing 1% of Z.S. powder (p<0.05). The viscosity of the uncooked samples also increased with increasing amount of Z.S. powder. Furthermore, the samples containing 3% of Z.S. powder showed significantly lower levels of hardness and springiness than the control sample (p<0.05). In addition, the sample with 3% of Z.S. powder contained showed significantly higher total protein and myofibrillar protein levels than the other samples (p<0.05). Overall, the 3% of Z.S. powder chicken breast emulsion-type sausage performed well in most quality characteristic categories, and this formulation would be suitable for use in food manufacturing.

Curcumin is a hydrophobic polyphenol extracted from turmeric that exhibits a variety of biological functions has albeit with limited efficacy as a functional food material owing to its low absorption when administered orally. The newly developed curcumin powder formulation exhibits improved absorption rate in vivo. This study evaluates the anti-oxidant effects of Theracurmin® (TC), which is highly bio-available in curcumin powder. The antioxidant activity of TC was investigated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity, ferrous reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, NO radical, superoxide radical, H2O2 scavenging activity, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Additionally, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of TC in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Type 2 diabetic rats. As a result of oral administration of TC for 13 weeks in type 2 diabetic rats, the group administration of 2,000 mg/kg significantly increased FRAP, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced the level of glutathione (GSH) in liver tissue 1.9, 1.2, and 1.2-times, respectively. Furthermore, serum TAC levels increased by 1.3-fold after the rats were administered with a dose of 500 mg/kg. These results were consistent with the in vitro assay results. In conclusion, TC exhibited its potential as a functional food material through its antioxidant properties.

We investigated the antioxidant, physicochemical, and sensory characteristics of dried type sodium-reduced bibimbap using dandelion complex powder (DCP). DCP is known to add moisture to the skin and relieve symptoms of atopic dermatitis. The sodium content of the standard sample was 1,110.87 mg per serving. The sodium was significantly reduced by 30%, resulting in 762.62 mg of sodium for the reduced sodium group (p<0.05). The ash contents of the standard sample group with DCP showed the highest value (3.17%) in all samples and was affected by minerals of DCP (p<0.05). The total flavonoid contents and ABTS radical scavenging activity, indicators of antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial activities, showed significantly high activities with addition of DCP (p<0.05). In the sensory results, bulgogi and savory flavor of the samples with DCP showed significantly higher values, and samples with DCP received the highest scores for after-taste. All samples were confirmed to be microbiologically safe according to the food code applied to food manufacturers. Pathogenic microorganisms tests were either negative or not detected in all samples.

An attempt was made to evaluate creep reliability of two commercial Ni-based superalloys by using ultrasonic wave. The materials include fine-grained PM alloy fabricated by mechanical alloying and subsequent hot isostatic pressing, and IN738LC cast alloy with a grain size of a few cm. Microstructural parameters (fraction of creep cavity and size of precipitates) and ultrasonic parameters (velocity, attenuation) were measured to try to find relationships between them. Ultrasonic velocity decreased with creep cavity formation in PM alloy. On the other hand, no distinct changing trend of ultrasonic velocity was observed for IN738LC alloy. Ultrasonic attenuation was found to have a linear correlation with the size of precipitates and was suggested as a potential parameter for monitoring creep reliability of IN738LC alloy.

접촉변성과 열수변질 작용이 중첩되어 형성된 자성 광산의 대리암형 백운석은 대개 98 wt.% 이상의 매우 높은 백운석 함유도를 보이는 고품위백운석으로서 부수적으로 석영, 백운모, 활철석과 같은 불순물을 미량 함유한다. 열수변질 산물로 여겨지는 황철석으로 인해 0.4 wt.% 정도의 상당히 높은 철분 함유 수준을 보이는 것이 특징이다. 대체로 백색을 띠는 이 백운석은 0.35~0.46mm의 결정 입도를 보이며 반자형의 등립상 조직을 이룬다. 이 백운석의 분체 특성은 전형적인 고품위석회석인 풍촌층 석회석에 비해 분쇄 효율, 미분체의 형성 및 입도 분포 면에서는 다소 우수한 것으로 나타난다. 또한 철분 함량을 제외하고는 기타 충전재로서의 품질상의 주요 요소들 즉, 백색도, 흡유율 및 비표면적은 물론 신장비, 형상비, 구형도와 같은 형상 특성 면에서도 결코 뒤떨어지지 않는 분체 특성을 보인다. 이 같은 자성 백운석의 양호한 분체 특성은 원광에서의 기본적으로 높은 백운석 함유도와 비교적 높은 결정도에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 이 백운석은 비교적 높은 철분 함량과 황화광물의 혼재로 인해서 금속제련용을 제외한 소성용 용도로는 적합하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 그렇지만 적절한 선광 공정이 적용된다면 현재 중탄용 석회석이 차지하고 있는 대부분의 충전재 응용 부문에서는 고품위석회석의 대체재로써 충분히 활용이 가능할 것으로 평가된다.
