In this study, we improved the vitamin C test method and reviewed data on the adjustable range of chromatography conditions for quantification. First, we adjusted the mobile phase conditions such as solvent composition, salt concentration, pH and column temperature and in particular, it was confirmed through an improved test method that the peak derived from the buffer solution could be clearly separated from the target component, vitamin C by adjusting the pH. The retention time of vitamin C was partially changed by adjusting the column diameter, length and particle size but the number of theoretical plates indicated similar values and did not affect the separation and quantitative analysis of the target component. The flow rate according to the column specifications was derived from the equation proposed by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug administration) and the Korean MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety), and evaluation of the applicability to vitamin complexes showed high selectivity for vitamin C even with altered stationary phase conditions and flow rates. In conclusion, vitamin C can be optimally separated and detected by changing the chromatographic method conditions and it was confirmed that the mobile and stationary phase conditions of liquid chromatography can be slightly adjusted in case the assay method uses an isocratic elution.

There are people who are sensitive to cosmetic ingredients, such as pregnant women and skin disease patients. There are also people who experience side effects from cosmetics. To avoid this, it is cumbersome to search for harmful ingredients in cosmetics one by one when shopping. In addition, knowing and remembering functional ingredients that suit you is helpful when purchasing new cosmetics. There is a need for a system that allows you to immediately know the cosmetics ingredients in the field through photography. In this paper, we introduce an application for smartphones, <Hwa Ahn>, which allows you to immediately know the cosmetics ingredients by photographing the ingredients displayed in the cosmetics. This system is more effective and convenient than the existing system in that it automatically recognizes and automatically classifies the ingredients of the cosmetic when the camera is illuminated on the cosmetic ingredients or retrieves the photos of the cosmetic ingredients from the album. If the system is widely used, it is expected that it will prevent skin diseases caused by cosmetics in daily life and reduce purchases of cosmetics that are not suitable for you.

복합섬유의 용도는 그 기능에 따라서 다양하지만 그 중에서도 자기접착성을 살려서 부직포의 재료로 사용되는 예가 많다. 즉 sheath/core형 복합섬유 중 sheath 성분에 core 성분보다 융점이 낮은 폴리머를 사용하여 열융합에 의한 접착제로서의 역할을 담당하게 한 섬유가 전형적이다. 한편, 고속방사법은 방사과정 중에 섬유의 구조 형성을 현저하게 진행시키는 방사법이지만[1, 2], 복합섬유의 고속방사에 있어서는 각 구성성분이 서로 영향을 미치면서 세화ㆍ고화가 진행되므로 개개의 폴리머를 단독으로 방사하는 경우와는 다른 구조형성기구가 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있지만 아직 명확한 상호작용은 보고된 바가 없다.

Independent Component Analysis is a popular statistical method to separate independent signals from the mixed data, and Group Independent Component Analysis is an its multi-subject extension of Independent Component Analysis. It has been applied Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data and provides promising results. However, classical Group Independent Component Analysis works poorly when outliers exist on data which is frequently occurred in Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanning. In this study, we propose a robust version of the Group Independent Component Analysis based on ROBPCA. Through the numerical studies, we compare proposed method to the conventional method, and verify the robustness of the proposed method.

한국 특산 식물인 미선나무 (Abeliophyllum distichum)는 IUCN Red List의 EN (위기종) 등급에 지정되 어 보호받아 왔다. 미선나무는 국내 자생지 6곳을 포함하는 13개의 서식지에서 생육되고 있다고 알려져 있다. 2017년 이후, 국내에서는 지속적인 보전과 관리하에 법정보호종에서 해제되어 멸종위기종 복원 성 공 사례의 귀감이 되었으나 국내를 제외하면 미선나무의 활용은 아직 어려운 현실이다. 미선나무는 1속 1종이지만 종 내에서 다양성이 존재한다. 꽃의 형태적 특징에 따른 다양한 분류가 이루어지며, 옥황1호을 포함한 분홍, 상아, 연녹색, 흰색 등으로 구분된다. 유전체 연구 및 성분 분석을 통해, 각 표현형마다 유전 정보와 유효 성분의 차이가 존재한다는 것이 알려졌다. 활용 가치를 높이려면, 유전적으로 안정되고 표준화가 가능한 원료가 필요하며, 이는 신품종을 이용하거나 새로운 개발이 필요하다는 것을 내포한다. 일반 식품으로의 활용은 어려우나 기능성 화장품의 원료 등으로 활용되고 있으며, 이러한 활용들은 미선나무의 높은 활용 가치를 투영한다. 활용 가치 평가를 위해 수행된 DNA 손상, 멜라닌 생합성, 항염증, 항산화, 항암 억제 등의 연구를 통해 다양한 약리학적 효능을 가진다는 결과들이 도출되었고, 많은 문헌들이 그 근거를 뒷받침한다. 또한, 유효 성분의 합성경로를 재정립하고 RNA 분석을 통해 그 양상을 예측하기 위한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 미선나무에서 유래한 식물조직 배양체인 callus의 유도 및 배양이 진행되고 있으며, 옥황1호 유래 callus를 활용하여 다양한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 앞서 언급한 미선나무 연구 및 개발에 대한 한계를 파악하고, 천연 식물 자원으로의 미선나무에 대한 지속적인 관심과 지원을 통해 나고야의정서에 대응하는 전략적 접근이 필요하다.

Preservatives, as food additives, are occasionally intrinsic to natural raw materials or sometimes generated during the fermentation process as reported in many research articles. Preservative compounds in raw food materials may persist in the final food product, which is not supposed to include such preservative compounds. In this study, we validated an analytical method for preservative compounds in raw materials of functional foods. Quantification of benzoic acid and sorbic acid was determined using HPLC-PDA analysis after distillation, whereas propionic acid was quantified with GC-FID. A significant set of validation data (accuracy, precision, linearity, recovery, etc) was acquired. A total of 212 samples were collected for analysis of naturally occurred preservatives, and preservatives were detected in 85 samples. Most of the detected samples showed less 10 mg/kg of preservatives. The results of this study provide fundamental data on naturally occurring preservatives in raw materials of functional foods. Moreover, building up a database of naturally occurring preservatives could solve problems in the current scientific data.

In order to investigate any differences of the characteristics of goat milk according to seasons and individual farms, we analysed and compared the components of fat, protein lactose, total solid, solid-not fat (SNF) and cells of goat milk collected from 8 individual farms between December 2006 and June 2007. Milk fat content has shown higher values in December to March than in other seasons, and SNF appeared especially higher in February. However, lactose content was not different according to seasons. Regional differences of milk components were not big at all either. Milk components from goats were in general similar to cow milk except a little lower fat content, but appeared higher than mare milk. Production of goat milk is in difficulty in aspects of balancing demand and supply due to its seasonal reproductive system. For the future of goat milk industry, it is necessary to develop various products of longer storage life.

Two functional modified-butterfats (MF668 and MF866) were synthesized with two blends (6:6:8 and 8:6:6, w/w%) of anhydrous butterfat (ABF), palm stearin (PS) and flaxseed oil (FSO, omega-3) via lipase-catalyzed interesterification reaction. Their flavor characteristic was investigated using electronic nose and SPME-GC/MS analysis. Each flavor pattern of ABF, FSO, MF668 and MF866 was significantly discriminated with first principal component score of 95.16% in PCA plot. In functional modified-butterfats analyzed with SPME-GC/MS, various volatile compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acids, and alkanes were detected.

미량의 바나듐을 함유하고 있는 제주도 지하수를 나노여과(nanofiltration) 공정을 이용하여 바나듐을 고농도로 농축하고, 그 농축수를 이용하여 기능성 녹차를 제조하였다. 원수와 4단, 6단 농축한 물의 바나듐 함량은 각각 10.4, 21.6 및 31.7ppb 이었다. 이 농축수들을 이용하여 녹차 제조를 한 결과 바나듐과 카테킨 함량이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 녹차 추출 전후의 바나듐 함량 감소율은 여름녹차의 경우에는 36.3% - 40.8%, 가을녹차의 경우에는 22.4% - 41.4%이었다. 이는 녹차잎을 이용하여 녹차를 제조하는 과정에서 바나듐 성분이 녹찻잎으로 흡착된 것으로 보이며, 녹차의 카테킨 성분은 이온함량이 높은 물에서는 잘 용출되지 않는다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
