위생용품의 기준 및 규격서에는 포름알데히드 함량 시 험법이 위생용품 유형별로 다르게 규정되어 있다. 위생용품 유형별로 미용티슈, 기저귀 안감 및 방수층, 팬티라이너를 대표 시료로 하여, 2,4-DNPH/HPLC법, 아세틸아세톤 /분광광도계법, 아세틸아세톤/HPLC법을 비교 분석하였다. 시험방법의 유효성 확인을 위하여 위생용품 유형별로 직선성과 검출한계, 정량한계, 회수율, 반복성 등을 검토하였다. 포름알데히드 표준용액으로 검량선을 작성 한 결과 3가지 시험방법에서 모두 상관계수(R2)가 0.999이상이었고, 검출한계와 정량한계는 위생용품의 기준 및 규격에 규정 된 각각의 최대잔류허용기준(Maximum Residue Level, MRL)에 비해 매우 낮게 나타났다. 또한 80%이상의 양호한 회수율을 확인할 수 있었고, 반복성(repeatability)도 20% 이내에 해당하여 양호하였다. 분석장비 별 비교에서는 분광광도계에 비하여 HPLC는 낮은 검출한계 및 정량한계 를 나타내어 정밀한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유도체화 후 차광을 유지하면서 분석이 가능한 장점이 있었다. 유도체화 시액별 시간 경과에 따른 포름알데히드 안정성 평가를 위하여 2,4-DNPH와 아세틸아세톤으로 유도체화 한 후 0, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48 시간에 HPLC로 포름알데히드를 분석하였다. 2,4-DNPH로 유도체화 된 포름알데히드의 경우 시간의 경과에 따른 포름알데히드 피크면적의 통계적 유의성 은 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 반면, 아세틸아세톤의 경우 유 의적인 상관관계를 보였는데(P<0.01), 아세틸아세톤-포름 알데히드 면적과 시간과는 음의 상관계수(r)를 보였다. 최초로 측정된 포름알데히드 피크면적평균 대비 시간대 별 피크면적평균 비교에서는 2,4-DNPH 시액으로 유도체화 한 경우에는 면적비의 특별한 증감이 관찰되지 않아 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 아세틸아세톤으로 유도체화 한 경우에는 시간의 경과에 따라 감소 경향을 보이다가 48시간 경과 후에는 81.3-95.2% 수준으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 위생용품은 대부분 일회용으로 제조가 용이한 종이와 부직포 재질로 만드는 경우가 많고, 제조과정 중 접착제를 사용한다. 따라서 위생용품 최종제품에도 포름알데히드가 잔존할 가능성이 있다. 우리나라에서도 위생용품관리법으로 위생용품 중의 포름알데히드 기준을 마련하여 관리하고 있으나 시행 초기로 국내 유통 제품에 대한 포름알데히드 잔류 실태조사는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부산지역에서 유통 중인 위생용품 총 205건을 대상으로 포름알데히드 함량 모니터링을 실시하였다. 일회용 기저귀 74건 중 73건에서 0.13-29.87 mg/kg 의 수준으로 낮은 농도의 포름알데히드가 잔류되어 있음 을 확인하였다. 이에 일회용 기저귀는 피부에 직접 접촉 하는 부분을 중심으로 지속적인 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 반면 화장지 78건, 일회용 타월 27건, 일회용 행주 12건, 종이컵 7건, 일회용 종이냅킨 6건, 종이빨대 1건 에서는 포름알데히드가 모두 검출되지 않아 안전하게 관리되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a safety evaluation was conducted to confirm if the Enterococcus faecium CKDB003 strain obtained by selection from a mixed fermentation of fruit and milk is suitable for use as a probiotic. The MIC value for the 10 antibiotics specified in the EFSA guidance was below the acceptable cut-off value. The antibiotic resistance genes aac(6')-li, eatAv, and msr(C) exist by whole genome sequencing, but are in the chromosome and not in the plasmid, thus confirming that there is no possibility of transmission to other microorganisms. It was confirmed that cytolysin (cylA, cylB, cylI, cylL-l, cylL-s, cylM, cylR1, cylR2), aggregation substance (asa1, asp1), collagen adhesion (ace), enterococcal surface protein (esp), endocarditis antigen (efaA), hyaluronidase (hyl) and gelatinase (gelE) were not present in the genome by examining the genes of factors related to virulence. Also, the biochemical analysis showed no toxic enzyme activities, and no virulence genes were detected by the PCR method. Thus, the E. faecium CKDB003 strain can be safely used as a health functional food probiotic, based on the results of the safety assessment.

본 논문은 수산물에 사용되는 식용 코팅의 다양한 천연 성분에 대한 소재 및 특성에 대하여 조사하였으며, 화학적 항균 물질 및 항산화제와 물리적 살균 기술을 병합한 허들 기술(hurdle technology)에 대하여 서술하였다. 다양 한 원인으로 인한 식중독 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 주된 원인은 오염된 식품의 섭취와 관련이 있다. 특히, 식품 중에서도 수산물은 수분함량이 많고 미생물에 오염되기 쉽기 때문에 저장 기한이 짧다. 이에 대한 해결방안으 로 여러 가지 대안들이 적용되고 있는데, 가식성을 가지 고 독성이 없는 장점을 가진 식용 코팅이 주목을 받고 있다. 식용 코팅은 미생물의 성장을 억제하고 수분 손실을 지연시킴으로써 수산물의 품질을 유지할 수가 있다. 또한 항균 물질 및 항산화제를 첨가하거나 물리적인 살균 기술과도 병합할 수 있다. 하지만 식용 코팅과의 병합 처리 기술이 소수 보고되고 있어 다양한 허들 기술에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

2016년에 쌍별귀뚜라미는 식품의약품안전처 식품공전에 등록된 식품원료로 가장 큰 장점은 월동 없이 연중 대량 사육이 가능하다는 것과 60% 이상의 단백질 함량이다. 본 연구에서는 사육공간, 인건비 등의 문제로 인하여 귀뚜라미 사육이 불가능할 때를 대비하여 저장조건을 설정하 였으며, 산란율이 높은 산란처 선발과 알의 동종포식률을 조사하였다. 산란은 상토 산란처에서 가장 선호도가 높았으며(p < 0.05), 알의 동종포식 률을 보았을 때 10 L 당 종령 약충 62마리 이하, 1일 동안 산란을 받는 것이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다(p < 0.05). 알의 저온 저장을 하였을 때는 28℃에서 10일간 보관 후 16℃에서 10일간 저온 저장했을 때 부화율이 가장 높았고, 저장을 하지 않았을 때와 비교하였을 때 12~14일 부 화를 연장할 수 있었다(p < 0.05). 쌍별귀뚜라미의 산란처, 산란 방법 및 알 저장조건을 설정함으로써 효율적인 생산방법을 제시하였다.

우리 사회에 출생률 감소와 급속한 고령화, 일자리 감소와 소득 양극화 등 사회·경제적으로 부정적인 여건이 대두되고 지속되면서 앞으로의 경제전망은 더욱 어두워지고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 정부는 경제 활성화를 위하여 미래 혁신성장동력 확보, 규제혁신 등 여러 경제정책을 종합하여 추진하고 있다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 미래 성장동력으로 쉽게 여겨지지 않는 농식품분야에서 유망한 대표적인 신산업을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 고령친화식품산업과 펫푸드(Pet Food)산업에 대하여 산업 활성화를 위한 규제개선의 과제로 품질인증제 도입을 제시하고 이로 인한 경제적 효과도 예시적으로 계측하였으며, 마지막으로 이것이 갖는 경제학적 의미를 논의하였다. 두 농식품분야 신산업에서의 품질인증제 시행은 식품의 안전성을 강화하는 동시에 사회 전체 후생도 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 기대된다.

This study pertains to direction of exports direction of major agricultural commodities viz., rice, maize, bengal gram, chillies and cotton from India. In the ensuing next decade during 21st century, India is likely to witness changes in the export pattern of these commodities due to both internal and external constraints. One of the major internal constraints is mounting cost of production. Similarly, one of the most important external constraints include excessive subsidization by importing countries that makes Indian commodities less competitive in the international market. So, the important research question is to analyse the direction of exports of major agricultural commodities from India during post-WTO regime. The dynamic nature of trade pattern of the selected commodities was analyzed by employing the first order Markov process by examining gains and losses in respect of export shares of major Indian agricultural commodities to different countries. During the post-WTO regime, it was found that Saudi Arabia for rice, Bangladesh for maize, Pakistan for bengal gram, Malaysia for (dry) chillies, China, mainland for cotton are the loyal destinations for the commodities. The increasing demand for the selected commodities in countries like Saudi Arabia, Côte d'Ivoire for rice; Malaysia for maize; Pakistan and Algeria for Bengal gram; USA and Sri Lanka for (dry) chillies and Vietnam, Pakistan and Indonesia for cotton need to be explored for augmenting the exports. In order to achieve this goal, it is essential that consumer preferences in newer markets, market intelligence and impediments for augmenting exports need to be researched. It is also high time to analyze the export competitiveness of selected commodities across these importing countries.

Due to the rise of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) adoption in many fields, it is necessary to diagnose the informatization situations of corporations in agriculture and give suggestions for improvement. For this goal, surveys were designed and conducted to understand the current informatization situations of agriculture corporations in Korea. The survey covers the plan for utilizing information technology, the establishment of infrastructure for information technology, IT application status, and its effect on their performance. The specific focus of our research is to segment the corporations by their type of industries and their level of sales and give differentiated managerial implications for each segment. This is because the type of informatization and information technology assistance they need highly depends on their industry type and sales level. Based on descriptive statistics and regression analyses, tailored managerial and polic

This is a summary of a comparative study of the national policies to foster the agri-food industry implemented by the leading countries of the industry before and after the COVID-19-induced global economic crisis. By comparing the policies of each country, we discovered that key leading countries of the agri-food industry had given up or suspended one-on-one, face-to-face support programs that they had maintained for years, and have started providing financial assistance to companies or self-employed people in relative industries. Korea should implement such decisive policies for the Korean agri-food industry to tackle this unprecedented economic shrink and maintain the competitiveness of the industry. Considering the scale and speed of the spreading of the pandemic, the new policies should be implemented swiftly and boldly.

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of barrel temperature and moisture content on the physicochemical properties of texturized vegetable protein (TVP). The water absorption index, water solubility index, texture, integrity index, color, and scanning electron micrograph of the TVP were analyzed. The extrusion conditions consisted of barrel temperature (110, 130, and 150oC) and moisture content (40, 45, and 50%) at a fixed screw speed of 250 rpm. The TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and bearing 50% moisture content had higher water absorption index and water solubility index. Elastic force, cohesiveness, and color differences were the highest in the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and possessing 40% moisture content. However, the TVP at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content had a lower integrity index than the TVP carrying moisture contents of 45 and 50%. The structure of the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content was found similar to a chicken breast tissue’s structure. In conclusion, 150oC barrel temperature and 40% moisture content are optimal conditional characteristics for the texturization of soy protein isolate and gluten.

In this study, a controlled atmosphere (CA) storage system is proposed as a storage method for prolonging processing period. Persimmon was placed in CA storage at 0.5oC±0.5 for 92 d. The qualities of the stored persimmons were compared to determine the possibility of extending shelf life. ‘Sangjudungsi,’ which was harvested on October 26, 2017, was applied to the persimmons. In order to compare differences according to size, the persimmons were classified into Size No. 2 (170 g) and Size No. 3 (145 g). In the result, the yellowness of CA-stored persimmons was 26.3% lower than that of cold-stored ones, confirming that after-ripening was delayed. The firmness of CAstored and Size No. 3 persimmon was higher than that of cold-stored and Size No. 2 persimmon. Tannin decreased significantly in cold storage, but it tended to increase in CA storage. The sugar content of Size No. 3 was lower than that of Size No. 2, but there was no difference in tendencies according to the storage method. Weight loss in CA storage was lower than that in cold storage. A comparison of color difference, firmness, sugar content, tannin, and weight loss ratio showed that CA storage was more effective in improving shelf life than cold storage.

The purpose of this study was to confirm changes in flavor and taste characteristics of black pepper by combining nonthermal sterilization treatment methods, namely intense pulsed light, cold plasma, and ultraviolet. After treatment, lightness value and hue angle of black pepper were decreased. The difference in chromaticity between samples before and after treatment showed a significant difference of 6.11. The piperine contents before and after the combined nonthermal sterilization treatment were reduced from 28.4±0.25 mg/g to 20.4±1.06 mg/g. The results of an intensity test showed that the color and flavor of the sample became darker and weaker, but hot and pungent were not distinguished after nonthermal treatment. The flavor profile showed that the intensity of cool flavor was decreased, the intensity of nutty taste was increased, and other sensory languages did not show any difference. Although differences in flavor and taste were distinguished in a cooking application, the differences were not significant.

This study aims to analyze the cooking and sensory characteristics of noodles to which different types and amounts of apples were added. Apple noodles were made by the addition of apple flour and apple concentrate to wheat flour in proportions of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%, respectively. Cooking time, weight after cooking, water loss after cooking, and rehydration rate were analyzed as cooking characteristics. Hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness were measured as texture characteristics, whereas sensory evaluation was performed on the appearance, color, taste, aroma, texture, and overall preference of noodles. The cooking time decreased as the amount of apple added increased, and the weight after cooking, water loss after cooking, and rehydration rate increased. The hardness and chewiness were decreased and the adhesiveness was increased as the amount of apple added was increased. The sensory test of apple noodles showed a higher score in taste and overall preference than that of the control. Furthermore, the addition of apples tended to produce a high score in all sensory tests, indicating that the addition of apples has a good effect on the quality of noodles. In particular, the addition of 10% apple concentrate showed high scores in all the tested characteristics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of hand drip, Aeropress, espresso, Moka, Mukka, and Brikka coffee brews. Espresso showed higher antioxidant activity, total solids, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, total phenolic compounds, and trigonelline concentrations compared to the other coffee brews studied. In terms of extraction efficiency, Brikka and Mukka showed higher total solids, as well as caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents, whereas drip coffee brew showed higher trigonelline content than other coffee brews. Meanwhile, principle component analysis (PCA) was conducted based on the aroma profile by e-nose. Samples were gathered into distinct groups that represented their brewing methods. Despite the similarity in brewing principle between Moka and other high-temperature brewing methods (i.e., Mukka and Brikka), the location of Moka coffee brew was closer to that of espresso in PCA, which was consistent with the PCA result conducted by e-tongue.

Tartary buckwheat has established itself as a functional food source because of its basic nutrition and phenolic compound contents, such as dietary fiber (DF) and rutin (RU). However, little information has been obtained concerning the comparative effects of DF and RU on the in vitro and in vivo glucose responses of tartary buckwheat flour. Moreover, the relationship between the flour’s in vitro starch digestibility and its components’ blood glucose response is not well-known. This study found that DF and RU reduced rapidly digestible starch (RDS) by 37.32→33.88% and 41.71→30.28%, whereas they increased resistant starch (RS) by 30.47→31.46% and 28.41→36.78%, respectively. Furthermore, RU had a lower glycemic index (GI) compared to DF. The regression equation for the in vitro and in vivo data from RU exhibited positive correlation (R 2 = 0.99); however, DF did not display positive correlation, which indicates that the in vitro and in vivo GI mechanisms by DF and RU are different.

The preparation of commercial, low-salinity kimchi needs to be carefully monitored to maintain the taste of kimchi. To address this, the taste profiles of three brands of commercial kimchi were examined using a taste sensing system, as well as a sensory evaluation. The average sensory score (4.3/9.0) in the overall taste of low-salinity kimchi (A', B', and C') was significantly lower than that (5.1/9.0) of conventional kimchi (A, B, and C). The explanation for the result of A' seemed to be its decrease in saltiness (3.51) and increase in bitterness (8.55) compared to those (6.55 and 7.65, respectively) of A. In B', the saltiness (4.25) and the overall taste (3.7) were significantly decreased compared to B (6.23 and 4.8, respectively). Interestingly, no significant difference was observed in the overall taste (5.1) and saltiness (6.70) of C' when compared to C (5.3 and 6.46, respectively), confirming that salinity is a crucial factor in determining overall taste. Consistent with this finding, the overall taste of low-salinity kimchi correlated positively with its saltiness (>0.98) and umami (>0.82). These results advocate the careful determination of salinity required to maintain the taste of conventional kimchi in preparing low-salinity kimchi, while also pointing towards the need to develop effective taste enhancers for supplementing overall taste.

In this study, 594 questionnaires administered to men and women residing in the capital metropolitan area who work night shifts were analyzed in order to study the effect of health information cognition on healing needs in accordance with the type of food selection criteria of the night worker. The results of confirmatory factor analysis in deriving food selection type identified four categories, a safety seeking type, a food exploratory type, a habitual seeking type, and a rational type, and the cognition types on health information were classified into physical cognition and psychological cognition. The need for healing, which was the investigated factor, was found to have a high correlation between questionnaire items with high reliable consistency. The results of this study were as follows. First, the food selection types of safety seeking type and habitual food seeking type had significant positive effects on the cognitive level of physical health information, and food exploratory type and habitual seeking type had significant positive effects on the cognitive level of psychological health information. In addition, it was shown that food exploratory type and rational type had significant positive effects on healing needs. As a result of this study, it was found that the cognition level of physical and psychological information was different according to food selection type, and the higher the cognitive level, the higher the healing needs. In particular, the result that the level of psychological health information significantly affected healing needs signifies that there is a demand to develop programs and menus that satisfy various needs related to healing and recovery from fatigue. In addition, further interest and study on the health and healing of night workers are required.

This study was conducted to compare differences in dietary habits and snack consumption behaviors according to level of job stress among 20- to 30-year-old office workers. Subjects were 205 office workers working in companies located in Seoul and the metropolitan area. Self-administered questionnaires written by the subjects were statistically analyzed by the SPSS 20.0 program. Subjects were classified into a high-risk job stress group (n=102, High-RSG) or low-risk job stress group (n=103, Low-RSG) by level of job stress. For dietary habits, the duration of meal time before suffering from job stress in High-RSG was significantly faster compared to Low-RSG. Appetite after suffering from job stress in High-RSG was significantly higher compared to Low-RSG. For snack consumption behaviors, the reason for snack intake was ‘job stress’ for 42.2% in High-RSG and ‘hunger’ for 31.1% in Low-RSG (p<0.05). Energy intake in the form of chocolates, castellacakesmuffins, and flavored milk during working hours was significantly higher in High-RSG compared to Low-RSG (p<0.05). Therefore, this study suggests that dietary guidelines to ameliorate job stress should be developed in order to manage and improve dietary habits caused by suffering from job stress among young office workers at companies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect on oxidative stress induced PC12 cells, and volatile flavor composition of essential oils derived from medicinal plant seeds- Gossypium hirsutum L. (G. hirsutum), Coix lachryma-jobi (C. lachryma-jobi) and Oenothera biennis (O. biennis). The essential oils were obtained by the solvent (hexane) extraction method from the seeds. The essential oils of the seeds were analyzed by the solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). The major compounds of G. hirsutum, C. lachryma-jobi and O. biennis were cyclonexanol (16.65%), β-asarone (14.29%) and ylangene (50.01%). The DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50) was the highest value of 8.52 mg/mL in the O. biennis. Additionally, IC50 values of G. hirsutum and C. lachryma-jobi were 26.76 mg/mL and 36.81 mg/mL. For the oxidative stress on PC12 cells, we treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The pretreatment of oxidative stress induced PC12 cells with all the essential oils preserved or increased their cell viability and G. hirsutum and O. biennis attenuated the ROS generation (by 68.75% and 56.25% vs. H2O2 control). The results of this study suggest that the essential oils derived from medicinal plant seeds could be used as valuable back data as a natural essential oil material to prevent neurodegenerative diseases by protecting neuro-cells.

본 연구는 L-alanine을 적용한 스크러버의 주류공장 내 CO2 제거효율, 모니터링 데이터 분석/ 평가 및 에너지 저감효율을 평가하였다. 스크러버의 평균 제거율은 90.45%로 10,000 ppm이상의 고농도 CO2가 유입됨에도 제거효율이 뛰어난 것을 확인하였다. 스크러버 작동 후 작업장 내 CO2는 2,000ppm 이 하로 유지하여 약 74% 이상의 이산화탄소 저감 효율을 확인하였다. 또한 소비되는 전력량을 측정한 결과 스크러버 작동 후 230 kWh로 약 7.26%의 에너지가 절감되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 본 개발제품을 적용한 결과로 작업장 내 이산화탄소 농도를 외기유입 없이 낮은 농도로 유지함에 따라 근무자의 작업환경을 개선 시킬 수 있었으며 에너지 소비량 또한 저감할 수 있었다. 그러므로 식품, 주류공장 내 고농도 CO2 제거 공 정으로써 스크러버가 유용할 것으로 기대된다.
