The physicochemical and organoleptic properties of Korean pickled cucumbers were studies for their changes during fermentation. The Korean pickled cucumbers were prepared by salting in 5-15% NaCl solution and fermented for 7-10 days. The results showed that the increase of salt concentration in cucumber had a linear relationship with logarithmic value of brining time. The higher NaCl concentration in salt solution resulted a rapid salt penetration into cucumber while the rate of changes in pH, the total acidity and turbidity were reduced. The color of cucumber surface were changed from green to yellow-green color as the fermentation progressed. The hardness of cucumber decreased repidly after one day of fermentation, followed by a little decreased until it reached to pH 3.2. A little increase in pH and decrease in total acidity were measured thereafter. The evaluation of sensory quality showed that the acidic and fresh cucumber-like-flayer decreased and yeast-moldy increased as the fermentation progressed. The sensory changes were more evident for lower salt concentration of NaCl solution. The softness of cucumber became to be significant from 4th day of fermentation in 5% salt solution.

흑마늘의 이화학적 성분의 변화 및 항산화 활성에 대한 연구를 분석한 결과, 흑마늘의 색은 제조공정을 거치면서 L, a 및 b값이 모두 감소하였는데 내부색의 경우 가공 초기에 크게 감소하였다. 수분은 가공 중 계속해서 감소하였고, pH도 점차 산성화되어 가공이 끝난 시료에서 pH $4.22{\pm}0.02$였다. 총 페놀 화합물과 플라보노이드는 1단계시료에 비해 최종단계에서 각각 약 1.9배, 2.6배 증가하였다. Total pyruvate와 thiosulfinate도 비슷한 패턴으로 각각 약 1.6배, 5.8배 증가하였다. 유리당 중 가장 함량이 높은 fructose는 1단계에서는 $1,403.03{\pm}6.24\;mg/100\;g$ 였던 것이 4단계에서는 $2,454.45{\pm}4.20\;mg/100\;g$으로 증가하였으나, 반면에 이당류인 sucrose와 maltose는 흑마늘의 숙성과 더불어 서서히 감소하는 경향이다. 흑마늘의 구성아미노산은 glutamic acid의 함량이 가장 많았고, 다음으로 proline과 aspartic acid였으며, 유리아미노산은 taurine, homocysteine 및 $\delta$-hydroxylysine은 1단계 혹은 2단계 시료에서는 검출되지 않았으나, 2단계 혹은 3단계 이후시료에서 미량 검출되었다. 흑마늘 가공중 물추출물과 에탄올 추출물의 DPPH에 대한 전자공여능은 숙성이 진행될수록, 추출물의 첨가 농도를 높일수록 점차 증가하여 4단계 시료의 $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 에탄올 추출물은 $45.63{\pm}0.43%$, 물추출물은 $67.40{\pm}0.21%$로 시험된 시료 중 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 환원력은 100 및 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 1, 2단계 시료를 제외한 모든 시료에서 물추출물이 에탄올 추출물 보다 높은 활성을 보였다.

유도결합형 플라즈마는 낮은 가스 압력에서도 고밀도의 플라즈마를 발생시키기 때문에 무전극 램프에 많이 적용되고 있다. 그리고 무전극 램프는 장 수명을 실현하고 고품질의 빛을 발생하기 때문에 앞으로 광범위하고 다양한 장소에 사용이 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 유도결합형 플라즈마를 이용한 아르곤 가스의 방전 특성 중에서 색 좌표 특성을 살펴보았다. 즉, 외부 안테나에 의해 발생된 13.56[MHz]의 RF Power를 방전관 내부로 전달하고, 아르곤 가스 압력과 RF Power 변화에 따른 아르곤 가스의 방전 특성을 측정하였다. 또한, 유도결합형 플라즈마를 방전시키기 위한 아르곤 가스의 압력은 1[mTorr]에서 100[mTorr], RF 전력은 10[W]에서 120[W]이며 이의 색 좌표 특성과 스펙트럼을 살펴보았다. 측정 결과 RF 출력이 증가하면 색 좌표의 x, y 값이 동시에 감소하였다. 아르곤 가스 압력이 증가하면 농도의 증가로 인해 발광이 어려웠으며, 색 좌표 특성은 압력이 증가하면서 y 값은 변화가 적었으나 x 값이 100[mTorr]일 크게 증가하는 현상이 나타났다.

Coating treatment with 120 kDa of chitosan on bread was decreased growth rate of bacteria and not detected growth of any fungi during storage period. Bread with coating by 1% and 2% of 120 kDa chitosan have had the high antioxidant. Change in the water content was lawered as the higher concentration of chitosan coating on bread. water activity has a low variance untill 2% of chitosan concentration and so there result are expected on inhibition effect of retrogradation in bread during storage period. The change of pH was not detected in bread. And the color of bread have not effected on treatment with below 2% of chitosan but had a little effect by 2% of chitosan coating.

This experiment was conducted to examine the ideal condition for multiple colors dyeing of cut rose, 'Akito'. Four different colors of dye were applied to make multiple flower colors in cut rose by absorption method. Acidic condition around pH 3.5 showed the fastest absorption speed in all four colors. There is no difference at each pH levels, at part of leaves dyeing, it is more affected colors rather than pH levels in purple and blue colors. From vary concentration of each dyes, $10g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ concentration of dyeing solution gave the best color definition. But it's not significant and result was different by each color in a same concentration. 10 minutes of dyeing performed pastel color and 30 minutes performed the best color definition, but the 30 minutes treatment accompanied with significant dyeing on the leaves also. As a result of this experiment, optimum condition for dyeing cut rose, 'Akito' requires pH 3.5, $5-10g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of dye concentration and 10-30 minutes treatment.

The processing conditions for producing and edible alginate film from sea tangle were investigated by measuring water vapor permeability (WVP), tensile properties and colors of film. The alginates were extracted with $3\%$ sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) solution for 5 hrs, and the alginate films were prepared with extracted sodium alginates, D-gluconic acid lactone, $CaCO_3$ and various plasticizers, As the concentration of alginate in making the film was increased, the WVP and elongation of the film were decreased and the tensile strength was increased. The higher amount of plasticizer showed the higher WVP and elongation, and the order of various plasticizers in increasing the WVP and elongation of the film was glycerol, polyethylene glycol, and sorbitol. The addition of sorbitol in the film showed the highest value (89.57) in lightness of Hunter color system and the film added polyethylene glycol had the highest values (-1,12 and 11.4) in redness and yellowness.

This work investigated the environmental application of an underwater dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor consisting of a porous hydrophobic ceramic tube to the decolorization of an azo dyeing wastewater. The reactive species generated by the plasma are mostly short-lived, which also need to be transferred to the wastewater right after the formation. Moreover, the gas-liquid interfacial area should be as large as possible to increase the decolorization rate. The arrangement of the present wastewater treatment system capable of immediately dispersing the plasmatic gas as tiny bubbles makes it possible to effectively decolorize the dyeing wastewater alongside consuming less amount of electrical energy. The effect of discharge power, gas flow rate, dissolved anion and initial dye concentration on the decolorization was examined with dry air for the creation of plasma and amaranth as an azo dye. At a gas flow rate of $1.5Lmin^{-1}$, the good contact between the plasmatic gas and the wastewater was achieved, resulting in rapid decolorization. For an initial dye concentration of $40.2{\mu}molL^{-1}$ (volume : 0.8 L; discharge power : 3.37 W), it took about 25 min to attain a decolorization efficiency of above 99%. Besides, the decolorization rate increased with decreasing the initial dye concentration or increasing the discharge power. The presence of chlorine anion appeared to slightly enhance the decolorization rate, whereas the effect of dissolved nitrate anion was negligible.

The feasibility of the geopolymer as a cultural asset restoration material was studied by investigating compressive strength and chromaticity change. Metakaolin that was synthesized by calcination of the kaolin at $750^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours was used as a geopolymeric starting material. Kaolin lost its crystallinity and changed into non-crystalline phase during calcination. NaOH solution and water glass were used as an initiator for the geopolymeric reaction. As the concentration of NaOH solution and water glass increased the compressive strength increased. When alumina was substituted with metakaolin, the compressive strength decreased at a small amount of alumina, but increased at a large substitution. For the most composition of geopolymers, the change of chroma values remained within the limit of slight variation after exposure to sunlight for 8 and 100 days. However, even small amount of organic pigment addition increased chroma values of metakaoline. It was shown that geopolymer had excellent chroma value change over epoxy resins.

PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) is one of the perflourinated organic compound, which persist as a residual compound in the coastal environments. Intertidal mud crab Macrophthalmus japonicus mainly inhabits in coastal and bay ecosystems in Indo-Pacific region including Korea and reflects to environmental changes. In the present study, M. japonicus were exposed to different concentrations of PFOS and various ecotoxicological end-points such as survival rate, elimination of appendages, changes of the crust and internal organ color changes were investigated. Interestingly, the PFOS exposure showed concentration-dependent decrease of survival rate. High PFOS exposure ($30{\mu}gL^{-1}$) showed a low survival rate of 24% at 168 hours. Further, in comparison with the controls, the rate of elimination of appendages was also considerably increased in a time dependent manner upon PFOS exposure. Notably, with progression of time, an increased exposure to PFOS, test species showed whitening effect in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas the crab crust color was unchanged in the control. In addition, change in internal organs color and their visibility (clarity) observed in PFOS exposed crabs compared to control. Taken together, we suggest, eco-toxicology end-points of M. japonicus exposed to PFOS gave important biological information which could be useful to identify toxic contamination in the marine benthic environments.
