최근에 들어 웰빙(well-being)과 함께 로하스(LOHAS: Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability)란 개념이 급속도로 확산되고 있으며, 이를 만족하는 식품으로 친환경 농산물과 유기 가공 식품이 대두되고 있다. 여러 마케팅 조사에서도 친환경 농산물과 유기 가공 식품의 소비자 선호도는 상당히 높게 나타난다. 이러한 다양한 소비자의 요구에 맞춰 우리의 2세에게 더욱 안전하고 좋은 품질의 이유식을 제공하고 나아가 한계에 이른 '지구와 환경을 해치지 않는 지속가능 한 소비'를 유도하고자 업체들은 유기농 이유식을 개발하고 있다. 유기농 소비자 10명 가운데 7명은 최근의 웰빙 붐 때문에 유기농에 관심을 가지게 됐으며, 가격이 다소 비싸더라도 가족의 건강을 위해 친환경 농산물을 구입하는 것으로 나타났으며, 국내외를 막론하고 친환경 농산물과 유피 가공 식품의 시장 동향을 살펴보면 지속적으로 증가하고 있으나, 아직까지 일반 제품에 비해 미미한 수준이며, 국내는 인증 제도가 없으나, 유기 가공 식품표시기준에 따라 표시되고 있다. 일반적으로 이유식이라 함은 식품공전에서 영 ${\cdot}$ 유아용 곡류 조제식만을 말하지만 넓게 축산물의 조제유류, 영아용 조제식, 성장기용 조제식, 기타 영 ${\cdot}$ 유아식을 포함할 수 있으며, 유기농 이유식 제조 현황을 살펴보면 동결, 분무, 드럼 등의 건조와 퍼핑이나 Extruder를 통한 알파화로 원료를 가공하여 은 살균, 멸균, 균질, 혼합, 건조, 냉각, 포장 등의 다양한 공정으로 이루어진 분무건조나 유동층이나 연속식 과립기를 사용하여 분말이나 입자형 이유식을 생산하며, 동결 건조를 하여 열수를 가해 죽 상태로 먹을 수 있도록 한 제품, 데워서 떠 먹일 수 있도록 병조림이나 레토르트 유동식 제품, 바로 마실 수 있는 쥬스류, 두유류, 과자 등으로 생산하고 있다. 주된 메이저4사는 일동후디스, 남양유업, 매일유업, 파스퇴르유업으로 다양한 제품들을 생산하고 있으며, 두유를 위주로 한 정식품, 연세우유와 종근당건강, 다양한 다국적 기업들의 제품이 수입되고 있는 실정이다. 이유식 시장도 96년 하반기부터 정체를 보이는 상태다. 2002년도 이유식 시장은 약 1,300억원 규모로 업체들의 고가 신제품과 유기농 이유식 출시로 판매 금액은 소폭 상승하였으나 판매 수량은 큰 변동이 없다. 저출산에 따른 양육비 집중과 유기농 제품에 대한 저변이 크게 확산돼 베이비 웰빙은 어느 정도 예견된 일이거니와 이미 미국 등 선진국에선 유아에 그치지 않고 아동까지 유기농과 고급 원료를 사용한 고가의 웰빙 제품이 봇물을 이루고 있는 상황이어서 유아식 시장은 어느 때보다 경쟁이 치열할 것이며, 국내 식품 업체들이 너도나도 유기농 제품과 매장사업에 뛰어들고 있다. 유기 가공 식품의 지속적인 발전을 위해서 (1) 국내산/수입산 공통으로 인증 제도가 도입되고 원료 농산물뿐만 아니라, 모든 공정이나 공장에 대한 종합적 관리와 동일한 인증 표시가 이루어져야 한다. (2) 정부 부처의 이기를 타파할 수 있는 법정부적 기구나 대책이 필요하다. (3) 유기 가공 식품을 취급하는 업계에서는 기존 3%의 비의도적 혼입치의 고려나 상한선 재설정을 요구하고 진정한 유기 가공 식품으로 공정 경쟁한다. (4) 활발한 인증심사원의 교육과 배출로 인증이나 심사기관의 민간 이양을 적극 장려하고 국가관 상호 신뢰를 구축한다. (5) 각 소비자 단체나 소비자는 환경을 살리고 생명체의 공생이라는 관점에서 최선의 길이 유기농 제품임을 인식하고 소비하여 우리의 다음 세대에게서 빌려온 소중한 환경을 물려준다.

The $La_{1-x}(Ca\;or\;Sr)xCrO_3$(x=0 and 0.25) interconnect materials for high temperature electrolysis of steam were investigated in views of sinterability and electrical conductivity. $LaCrO_3$, $La_{0.75}Ca_{0.25}CrO_3$ (LCC), and $La_{0.75}Sr_{0.25}CrO_3$ (LSC) powders were synthesized by coprecipitation method. Crystal structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sintering characteristics were analyzed by relative density and scanning electron microscopy. The electrical conductivity was measured by a DC four probe method. From the analyses of relative densities, it was found that the doped $LaCrO_3$ showed better sinterability than $LaCrO_3$ and the those sinterability increased with decrease of those particle sizes. The XRD results at different sintering temperatures for LCC and LSC revealed that the sinterability is closely related to the second phase transformation, that is, the second phase melting above $1,300^{\circ}C$ for LCC and $1,400^{\circ}C$ for LSC significantly promotes the sinterability. In case of electrical conductivities of LCC and LSC, which had a similar relative density, LCC showed better electrical conductivity than LSC.

The dispersion stability of nano $Y_2O_3-CeO_2$ system was investigated using colloid surface chemistry. Green body of $Y_2O_3$ doped $CeO_2$ was prepared by slip casting in and aqueous system. The dispersion stability of suspension between powders and organic additive was accomplished through electrokinetic behavior of suspension, which was done by ESA apparatus. The dynamic mobility of particles was enhanced when the anionic dispersant of the amount of 1wt% was added. The dissolution of $Y^{3+}$ ion in suspension occurred in the acidic region so that pH value in slurries did not move to below 7.0. In the $CeO_2-Y_2O_3$ system, optimal preparation of suspension was made after adding the anionic dispersant as the amount of 1wt% and pH value of 11.0, and then slip-cast and sintered at 1400$^{\circ}$C, 2 hrs. It appeared relative density of >98% and homogeneous distribution of Y element in depth direction as well as in the microstructure of surface.

In order to develope the porous alumina ceramics with high strength, the pore characteristics and compressive strength were investigated in terms of relation to the conditions of spark-plasma sintering and the contents of graphite as a pore precursor. Porous alumina bodies were successfully prepared by spark-plasma sintering and burning out graphite in air. High porous bodies were fabricated by sintering at 1000${\circ}C$ for 3 min under a pressure of 30 MPa, heating rate of 80${\circ}C$/min and on-off pulse type of 12:2. For example, alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed high porosity of 50∼57%. Also, the open porosity increased with graphite content. The relationship between pore characteristics and graphite contents could be explained by percolation model depending on cluster number and size. Porous alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed the high compressive strength of 55∼200 MPa. This great improvement in strength was considered to be mainly due to the spark-plasma discharges and the self-heating action between particles.

Ultra-fine $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$ferrite powders have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the sample have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spetroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The formation of nano crystallized particles is confirmed. The x-ray diffractions of all samples with various compositions clearly indicate the presence of spinel structure. The Mossbauer spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two sextets due to F $e^{3+}$ A-site and B-site. The IS and QS values nearly constant with substituted Co-Ti contents, whereas $H_{hf}$ of B-site decreases with increasing Co-Ti substitution in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$. The magnetic behaviour of powders shows that the saturation magnetization and the coercivity decrease with increasing x in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$.$.X>.

We manufactured rice-whole soybean curd by a microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) with a mixture of hydrolyzed rice and micronized whole soybean powder (MWSP) and analyzed its rheological properties, including texture, viscoelasticity, protein cross-linking, and surface structure. A 40% rice suspension digested with a Termamyl enzyme at $85^{\circ}C$ for 20 min showed a 9.0% reducing sugar and a consistency of $1.27\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, resulting in a great reduction in consistency. A MWSP suspension with 22% solid content was transformed into a typical tofu texture. MWSP curd fortified with 7.5% rice showed enhanced texture properties, with a hardness of 639.6 dyne/$cm^2$, and a springiness of 0.96. In a MWSP suspension (18~22% w/v) treated with 5% MTGase, viscoelasticity increased dependently with MWSP concentration, and a 22% MWSP indicated a G' value of 5.1 Pa and a G'' value of 9.0 Pa. Furthermore, soybean proteins present in the 22% MWSP curd largely disappeared or formed polymers with a high molecular weight by MTGase reaction within 30 min. MWSP (22%) fortified with 7.5% rice showed similar polymerization patterns on SDS-PAGE. The surface structure of the rice-MWSP curds was more dense and homogeneous network due to the addition of hydrolyzed rice. However, the surface structure of all rice-MWSP curds became rough and showed a non-homogeneous network after cold storage.

Cathode materials of Al-doped $Li(Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3-x}Al_x)O_2$ (x=0.0, 0.005, 0.01 0.05) for lithium ion batteries were synthesized with ultra-sonic spray pyrolysis method and single-step heat treatment. No secondary phases were found in all synthesized powders. The intensity ratio of $I_{003}\;to\;I_{104}$, however, slightly decreased and the particle size increased with the Al contents. The cells with bare, 0.5 and 1.0 at% Al-doped powders showed the initial discharge capacities of 182, 180 and $184mAhg^{-1}$ in a voltage range of $3.0\sim4.5V$ at 1C rate, and the capacity retentions of 81, 77 and 78% at the end of 30 cycles, respectively. But in the voltage range of $3.0\sim4.6V$, the Al-doping significantly enhanced the cycle stability. For example, the discharge capacity after 50 cycles was maintained to 70% in the 0.5 at% Al-doped sample compared to only 30% in no doped sample. The improvement of the cycle stability was thought to be due to $Mn^{3+}$ ion decrease as the Al doping from the XPS analysis results.

In this study, NiCoZn ferrites with the variation of sintering temperature and chemical composition were prepared by the coprecipitation. Microstructures Crystal structure of NiCoZn ferrites were analyzed by XRD and their electric magnetic characteristics were analyzed by LCR meter and their morphology observed by SEM. We identified that these powders have a typical NiCoZn spinel structure and nanoparticles average size of 40 nm. The impurity, the initial permeability and the Q factor value are the lowest of sintered NiCoZn ferrite at $1250^{\circ}C$. Also, we measured S-parameter for $(Ni_{0.4}Co_{0.1}Zn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ which showed a maximum reflection loss of -3.1 dB at 6 GHz for the 2 mm thick sample. From this result, we found that the NiCoZn ferrite can be used in ferrite microwave-absorbing application at a higher frequency region (> 6 GHz).

Recently, removing methods of red tide has been attempted by filtering the organisms using the ceramic porous bodies. However, the marine biofouling could be developed on the surfaces of porous ceramic body after use for more than one month, and it might decrease the function of the specimen. In this paper, a method of inhibiting marine biofouling by changing the physical properties or surface-modification of ceramic porous body was studied. After experiment with six different ceramic porous bodies, it was found that the specimen of lower porosity and water absorption showed the least amount of biofouling. In addition, by increasing the surface roughness with silica particles bonded to the surface of specimen, the amount of biofouling caused by large marine life such as barnacle and mussel could be decreased. On the other hand, when the surface of specimen was coated and fused by glass powder, the amount of biofouling was rather increased. This might be due to eluted inorganic ions from the glass which can promote the growth of the microorganism. In conclusion, the environmental-friendly methods to reduce the amount of marine biofouling, such as controlling the physical properties and the surface roughness of the porous ceramics, can be possible without the use of dangerous substances. So it is expected for the results obtained to be applicable to a marine structure.
