Preharvest treatment with 4% ethyl oleate on 'Merlot' ($Vitis$ $vinifera$ L.) grape reduced the thickness of the epidermal and hypodermal layers with significantly enhanced pigmentation. Thickness of the skin in treated berries was $90-107{\mu}m$, whereas those in control berries were $126-189{\mu}m$. Decreases in the thickness of epidermal and hypodermal cell layers seemed to be due to cellular death or dehydration by rapid senescence after the treatment. Immediate change observed in treated berries was the deformation of the wax that appeared melted resulting in color improvement. Total anthocyanin was also increased by ethyl oleate treatment. Separate forms of anthocyanins, acylated and methoxylated anthocyanins increased, whereas hydroxylated anthocyanins tended to decrease.

The ${\epsilon}$ type copper phthalocyanine (${\epsilon}$-CuPc), called as a pigment blue 15 : 6, is a significant material to produce a blue pixel in LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. In this study, ${\epsilon}$-CuPc sample was synthesized at various reaction conditions by applying the seed method using ${\epsilon}$-CuPc nanoparticles as a seed. Adequate synthetic conditions of the samples were selected by analyzing and comparing crystalline structure, crystalline purity, microstructure, and synthetic yield of the samples with ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ crystalline CuPc samples. The chemical and crystalline structure of the samples were tested using FT-IR spectrometer and X-ray diffractometry, respectively. The shape of the particle was examined using field emission scanning electiron microscope while the thermal property was tested utilizing thermogravimetric analysis.

In this paper, we proposed new method to enhance choroidal vessels by suppressing retina vessels brightness. It is well-known that CNV(choroidal neovascularization) is related with sight loss. The main feature of CNV is the occurrence of new vessels in choroid. Unfortunately, because retina vessels brightness is stronger than choroidal vessels brightness in ICGA(indocynanine green angiography) image, so that the choroidal vessels were hardly recognized. Therefore, for correct diagnosis, the choroidal vessels must be enhanced in ICGA image. The proposed enhancement method consists of 3 strategies. First, the retina vessels were detected by multi scale enhancement technique, hysteresis thresholding, KNN(Kth-nearest neighbor) classification method. And then, a retina vessel mask was generated from detection result. Next, the brightness of retina vessels was suppressed by the proposed conditional region erosion method and mask region until the mask region was vanished. Finally, the brightness of choroidal vessel was enhanced on processed image. Through an experiment, we had confirmed that the proposed method was robust and efficient.

근래에 대한민국 담수계에 조류 대발생으로 인한 수질악화 문재가 대두되고 있다. 또한 독성물질을 생성하는 남조류종이 우점하는 현상으로인해 수질문제와더불에 생태계와 인간의 건강도 잠재적인 위험을 받고있는 실정이다. 이와같은 조류 대발생으로인한 피해를 최소화하기위해 효과적인 수질관리가 필수적이다. 원격탐사기술은 조류의 공간적인 분포를 해석하고 농도를 정량화하기위해 이용되고 있다. 현재까지 많은 분광알고리즘들이 개발되어 담수유역에 적용이 되고 있다. 수체마다 다른 분광특성 때문에 알고리즘내의 파라미터 및 분광밴드 조정이 필수적이다. 하지만 대부분의 연구에선 파라미터와 밴드의 변경에 따른 결과향상에만 초점이 맞춰지고 있어 분광알고리즘내의 파라미터와 분광밴드사이의 관계 이해 뿐만아니라 알고리즘 최종 산출물에 대한 영향에 관한 설명이 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에선, 대한민국 백제보를 대상으로 현장모니터링 및 조류추출 실험을 진행하였고, 이를 기반으로 5가지 클로로필a 알고리즘과 2가지 피코시아닌 알고리즘을 구축하였다. 알고리즘내에서 변수들의 관계와 영향을 알아보기위해 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 민감도 분석 조건을 기반으로 one-objective 최적화 및 multi-objective 최적화를 실시하여 백제보수계를 대표할 수 있는 최적 변수들을 모의하였다. 민감도 분석결과 후방산란계수에 영향을 미치는 파라미터와 조류 생체량에 영향을 미치는 파라미터가 다른 변수들 및 알고리즘 농도산정결과에 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났다. multi-objective 최적화 결과가 one-objective 결과 및 reference 결과보다 대부분 정확도가 향상되었고 흡광도 계수를 함께 고려할 수 있기 때문에 백제보 수계의 분광특성을 함께 고려하여 대표할 수 있는 장점을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구는 민감도 분석을 활용하여 분광알고리즘 내의 변수들의 이해를 도모하였고, 최적화 기법 중, multi-objective 최적화 기법이 백제보의 분광특성을 대변하는 최적변수를 제시할 수 있음과 동시에 보다 나은 정확성을 제고할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The R2R3-type protein IbMYB1 transcription factor is a key regulator for anthocyanin biosynthesis in the storage roots of sweet potatoes. It was previously demonstrated that the IbMYB1 expression stimulates anthocyanin pigmentation in tobacco leaves, arabidopsis and storage roots of sweet potatoes. In this study, we generated the transgenic potato plants that express the IbMYB1 genes, which accumulated high levels of anthocyanins under the control of either the tuber-specific patatin (PAT) promoter or oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase anionic 2 (SWPA2) promoter. The PAT-MYB1 transgenic lines exhibited higher anthocyanin levels in the tuber than the empty vector control (EV) or SWPA2-MYB1 plants. When combined, our results indicated that overexpression of the IbMYB1 is a highly promising strategy for the generation of transgenic plants with enhanced tissue specific anthocyanin production.

Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa cv. Viking) contains high amounts of anthocyanins, which are susceptible to heat. This study was conducted to identify an efficient coating material for encapsulating aronia extract to enhance the stability of anthocyanins during cooking. Maltodextrin, maltodextrin+gum Arabic, and maltodextrin+carboxymethyl cellulose were chosen as the coating materials, mixed with aronia extract at a ratio of 2:1, and freeze-dried after homogenization. The encapsulated aronia extract was then used as a sulgidduk ingredient. Sulgidduk prepared with the encapsulated aronia had significantly higher values for redness, anthocyanin retention, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity compared to sulgidduk prepared with non-encapsulated aronia. In addition, the sensory evaluation revealed that sulgidduk prepared with encapsulated aronia produced better color and taste. These results indicate that the encapsulation of aronia extract improved the stability of the anthocyanins in aronia, and encapsulated aronia can be used as a functional colorant in the food industry.

The physical and chemical stability of anthocyanins from a Korean pigmented rice variety was investigated at various conditions of pH, temperature, metal ion, sugar, organic acid and light. The anthocyanin pigments were relatively stable with half-lives of 36 days (pH 2.0) and 17 days (pH 3.0), while they were decomposed in a day at neutral and basic pH of 7.0 and 9.0 at $25^{\circ}C$. The anthocyanins also showed high thermal stability at pH 3.0; the half-lives were 7.4 hr, 23.6 hr and 96.3 hr at $95^{\circ}C,\;75^{\circ}C\;and\;50^{\circ}$, respectively. Addition of di- and tri-valent metal ions at pH 3.0 resulted in the increase of color intensity and stability throughout 21 days of storage periods at $25^{\circ}C$. Most sugars added accelerated the degradation of anthocyanin pigments, so that fructose showed the greatest degradation effect on the pigments. Addition of citric acid at pH 3.0 increased stability of anthocyanins, while tartaric acid decreased stability. The anthocyanins were very sensitive on light irradiation with a degradation half-life of 14 hr under 20,000 lux-light dosage at pH 3.0.

We investigated the contents of total phenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids and the antioxidant capacity of black carrot, black currant, acaiberry, black raspberry, and blueberry. We also examined the physical and organoleptic characteristics of pudding with added black carrot extract following 7 days of storage. Black carrot and black raspberry had the highest total phenols. Blueberry contained the highest anthocyanins and black currant equaled black carrot in carotenoids. Anti-oxidant capacity measured by 1,1-diphenyl-1,2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethyl-benthiazolin-6-sulfonic acid was highest in black raspberry and black currant followed closely by black carrot. In pudding, redness was increased and blueness decreased by adding black carrot extract, but the trend was partially reversed during 7-day storage due to oxidation of the anthocyanins, which are stable in acid situation. As black carrot extract contents were increased, pH value decreased. The pudding's hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were optimal with 7.5 % black carrot extract. In conclusion, black carrot is moderately rich in anthocyanins and phenolic compounds. In pudding adding 7.5 % black carrot extract was optimal for organoleptic qualities. However, additional studies are needed to develop methods for protecting anthocyanins from breaking-down during storage of back carrot pudding.

In this study, we investigate the deposition characteristics of merocyanine dye(MD) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The MD optical system mixed with fatty acid was fabricated using LB method. And their optical characteristics were investigated using UV spectroscopy. The optical behavior of MD LB film was investigated asto thermal treatment. The resonant frequency and admittance was measured during dissociation of J-aggregate of MD LB film. As a result, it has been suggested that the J-aggregate dissociation in MD LB film by thermal treatment give rise to transformation of oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal.

태양의 광에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 태양전지의 재료는 현재 무기반도체가 주를 이루고 있지만 최근 유기반도체가 재료자체 물성의 연구진전과 더불어 태양전지로서 개발가능성이 논하여 지고 있다. 한편 유기반도체의 장점은 1)박막으로 제작이 용이하고 2)대량생산에 의한 저가제조가 가능하며 3)경량화를 할 수 있고 4)그 기능의 다양성을 줄 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 단점은 캐리어 트랩 밀도가 커서 반송자(carrier)의 수명과 이동도가 작고 확산길이도 짧기 때문에 광수집 효율이 매우 낮아 광전변환효율이 낮다는 것이다. 또한 일반적으로 유기반도체는 저항율이 커서 오옴성 접촉이 어렵고 입사광 강도의 증대에 따라 변환효율이 감소하는것도 큰 문제로 되어있다. 따라서 본고에서는 지금까지 유기반도체를 사용한 태양전지의 원리 및 제조기술을 간단히 살펴보고 특성과 연구동향등을 분석하여 앞으로 유기반도체 태양전지의 나아가야할 방향을 찾아보고자 한다.
