1. 시료의 흡광도는 입도가 커짐에 따라 전체 파장 영역에 걸쳐 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 가시광 영역에서는 입도 보다도 색상의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 2. 시료의 함수율과 각 파장에서의 흡광도 사이의 상관관계는 550~950nm 영역에서는 상관계수가 0.53이하로 작았으며, 물의 흡수파장대역인 1430 nm 부근에서는 0.85~0.87로 높게 나타났다. 3. 각 시료들의 반사 스펙트럼을 이용하여 세 가지 파장 영역에 대해 PLS회귀모델과 MLR 모델에 의한 함수율 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 모든 시료에서 PLS회귀모델이 MLR 회귀 모델보다 예측성능이 우수하였다. 4. PLS회귀 모델에서 전처리 효과를 분석한 결과, 시료의 입도에 따른 흡광도의 차이를 보정하기 위해 평활화, 미분, MSC, SNV 등의 전처리가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 전체시료에 대해 함수율 예측을 위한 PLS회귀모델을 개발한 결과 400~2500nm영역에서의 개발된 모델의 예측성능은 $R^2$=0.9986, SEP=0.2166, 900~1700nm영역에서의 모델은 $R^2$=0.9985, SEP=0.2233이었으며 550~950nm 영역에서의 모델은 $R^2$=0.9838, SEP=0.7405로 나타났다. 각 시료의 종류별로 회귀모델을 개발할 경우 상기 결과보다 SEP가 더욱 작게 나타났다. 6. 이 연구 결과에 의하면 현재 시판되고 있는 실시간 분광기를 이용할 경우 시료의 입도에 무관한 온라인 함수율 측정장치의 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

쌀을 주식으로 하는 우리나라의 여건상 연간 추정치로 싸라기 약 12만톤, 미강 약 49만톤, 왕겨 약 79만톤의 벼 도정 부산물이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 벼 도정 부산물 중 비식량 자원인 왕겨를 대상으로 고효율 효소 당화를 위한 바이오매스 전처리 방법을 탐색하였다. 왕겨 원시료의 초기 조성은 셀룰로스 34.5%, 헤미셀룰로스 20.5%, 리그닌 25.3%, 회분 14.6%로 나타났는데, 억새 등 초본계 바이오매스와 비교하여 특이하게 높은 성분은 회분으로 이는 벼에 대한 규산질 비료의 시용에서 기인한 것이다. 바이오매스 전처리에 많이 사용되는 암모니아, 희황산 용매와 규산염에 침식성을 가지는 가성소다 용매를 이용하여 각 용매별 단독 및 알칼리-산 복합 처리 하였을 때 효소 가수분해 효율, 고상시료 성분변화 등을 상호 비교하였다. 예비실험을 통하여 암모니아 처리조건은 15%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 20분, 가성소다 처리조건은 1.5%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 20분, 희황산 처리조건은 1.0%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 10분으로 설정하였다. 암모니아 단독, 희황산 단독, 암모니아-희황산 복합 처리 시료의 효소 가수분해 효율은 각각 37.8%, 39.1%, 42.8%로 약 40%선에서 큰 차이가 없었다. 반면 가성소다 단독, 가성소다-희황산 복합 처리시료의 효소 가수분해 효율은 각각 62.7%, 82.8%로 나타나 앞선 3가지 처리방법 대비 50%, 100%에 가까운 효소 가수분해 효율 향상을 보였다. 이 때 전처리 고상시료의 성분 변화를 살펴보면 회분 함량에서 큰 차이를 보였는데 암모니아 단독, 가성소다 단독, 희황산 단독, 암모니아-희황산 복합, 가성소다-희황산 복합 처리에서 각각 47.8%, 77.1%, 43.5%, 55.8%, 94.7%의 회분 성분 기각률(rejection rate)을 나타냈다. 이는 왕겨 효소 가수분해 효율의 최대 저해요인이 회분임을 추정할 수 있다. 왕겨 전처리 알칼리 용매는 암모니아보다 가성소다가 더 효과적이었고 희황산 복합 처리시 그 효과가 크게 상승하였다. 따라서 규산염(회분) 함량이 높은 바이오매스는 고온 고압 조건에서 가성소다 용액으로 처리한 후 그 고상분을 희황산 용액으로 복합 처리하는 시스템이 효소 당화 증진에 매우 유리함을 확인하였다.

Characteristics of biological hydrogen production rate and organic acid under anaerobic fermentation process were investigated with sugar wastewater. Hydrogen production rate was higher with alkaline pre-treatment than acidic pre-treatment, resulting in 70% increment. An adequate supply of the nutrients (N or P) into raw sugar wastewater could increase hydrogen production rate. Carbohydrate degradation of the anaerobic fermentation process was not directly related with hydrogen production. Sugar wastewater with the addition of the nutrients shows 3 times higher B/A ratio than the raw sugar wastewater. B/A ratio of the wastewater with alkaline pre-treatment and nutrients addition was most higher than other samples, showing 4.02 of B/A ratio. Higher B/A ratio shows higher hydrogen production rate at each sample.

In order to prepare a low-cost conductive filler material possessing improved anti-oxidation property, Ag-coated Cu flakes were fabricated and the effects of an applying method of ammonium-based pretreatment solution on the Cu flakes were analyzed. The pretreatment solution was used to remove the surface oxide layer on Cu flake. During a single-stage pretreatment process, hole-shaped defects were formed on the flake surface during the pretreatment after 2 min, and the number and size increased in proportion to the pretreatment time. In the case that Ag plating solution was injected in the pretreatment solution after the pretreatment for 2 min, the defects were also formed during Ag plating. In contrast, the defects tremendous decreased in the case that the pretreatment solution was removed after the first pretreatment for 2 min and the Ag plating proceeded after the second pretratment using a low concentration pretreatment solution. As the final result, the 15 wt% Ag-coated Cu flake sample which was fabricated using the single-stage pretreatment oxidized at $166^{\circ}C$, but the sample fabricated by the double-stage pretreatment oxidized at $224^{\circ}C$, indicating definitely improved anti-oxidation property.

Softening effects of enzyme following pre-treatments were examined. Four pre-treatments: raw (R), heat (H), heat and freeze-thawing (HFT), heat and freeze-drying (HFD) were applied to carrot. Subsequently, each treated sample was immersed in 10% celluclast enzyme solution for up to 6 h and then their properties were compared. The minimum and the maximum color change was observed in HFD and H, respectively. R showed no change in hardness after 6 h immersion, indicating that the enzyme did not penetrate the carrot. The number and size of pores were greater in samples undergone HFT or HFD as observed by microstructure analysis using SEM, and HFD caused 99.5% reduction in hardness after 6 h immersion. After 6 h immersion post-HFT or 3 h immersion post-HFD, the hardness was less than $20,000N/m^2$, indicating tongue ingestion was possible, and the samples retained their original shape and easily collapsed by spoon pressing.

The purpose of this study was to monitor physicochemical changes of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) muscle by iced water pre-treatment. Moisture content, crude fat content, nucleotide content, texture (hardness and toughness), and rigor mortis were assessed. The sensory evaluation was performed with a nine-point hedonic test. K-values, a parameter of fish flesh freshness, were also calculated from the content of nucleotides and their corresponding decomposition products. Pre-treatment of flounder flesh with iced water was found to be fresher compared to the control, as determined by a difference in the K-values. Iced water pre-treatment hastened postmortem stiffness, as judged from the rigor index, and increased inosine monophosphate (IMP), which is known to be a savory taste compound, more quickly as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) degradation proceeded.

Switchgrass was selected as a promising biomass resource for bioethanol production through popping pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification and fermentation using commercial cellulase and xylanase, and fermenting yeast. The reducing sugar yields of popping pretreated switchgrass after enzymatic saccharification were above 95% and the glucose in thesaccharificaiton solution to ethanol conversion rate after fermentation with $Saccharomyces$ $cerevisiae$ was reached to 89.6%. Chemical compositions after popping pretreatment developed in our laboratory were 40.8% glucose and 20.3% xylose, with much of glucose remaining and only xylose decreased to 4.75%. This means that the hemicelluloses area broke off during popping pretreatment. FE-SEMexamination of substrate particles after popping pretreatment was showed fiber separation, and tearing and presence of numerous micro pores. These changes help explain, enhanced enzymatic penetration resulting in improved hydrolysis of switchgrass particles after popping pretreatment.

Lead and cadmium were analyzed with different pretreatemnt methods. Paddy soil and wastewater sludge samples were used and the result was compared each other. Pretreatment method affected the concentration obtained from samples significantly. Large difference was illustrated between the results. The concentration by 0.1N HCl extraction method, an official analytical method for soil and solid wastes, was far lower than those by the EPA3050B and mixed-acid digestion methods. The reason might be that metals associated with organics and silicates are not easily extracted by 0.1N HCl, while digestion methods using strong acids and high temperature dissolved all the elements in the samples. It implies that pretreatment method should be specified in addition to concentration on the report of metal analysis for environmental samples. Acid digestion methods are not necessarily good because the concentration obtained does not represent the natural condition which is our concern in many cases. The 0.1N HCl extraction method does not fully represent the natural condition either. The metals associated with organics will be extracted eventually as organics decompose with time. Therefore, proper pretreatment and analytical methods should be developed for specific purpose, and their standardization is recommended.
