Rheological properties of waxy and non-waxy rice starch solutions were evaluated with a narrow gap rotational and Cannon Fenske viscometers. The gelatinized rice starch solutions containing 0.2-1.0% starch displayed pseudoplastic flow behavior. At higher starch level, degree of pseudoplasticity of waxy rice starch solutions increased, while that of non-waxy rice did not changed apparently. The consistency coefficient (K) of non-waxy rice starch solutions increased with increasing gelatinization temperature, but waxy rice starch solutions remained constant, and in alkaline aqueous solutions both of them showed increasing K values. The value of K increased exponentially with an increase in concentration. The effect of the temperature on the viscosity of the solutions followed Arrhenius' type equation, and the activation energies were in the range of 3.675-3.775 kcal/g-mol that were near to that of pure water. The changes of reduced viscosity with concentration were followed Huggin's equation and the values of intrinsic viscosity and interaction coefficient were 0.78-1.59 dl/g and 0.67-2.75, respectively.

Resol type phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was synthesized by addition reaction of formaldehyde (F) and phenol (P). And the PF resin was synthesized by condensation reaction in which water was removed. In this work, we studied the influence of experimental parameters in the addition reaction, such as F/P mole ratio, amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time, and so on. Also, we studied the influence of molecular weight and viscosity of PE resin as a function of condensation time. As a result, in addition reaction, the reaction time decreased remarkably as the catalyst concentration increased, and the time decreased with increasing reaction temperature at a constant catalyst concentration. Also, in condensation reaction, the viscosity of resol type PF resin increased from 1500 to 9000 cps as a function of condensation time; molecular weight showed from 500 to 1100 g/mol.

High voltage pulsed electric field technology has been attracting attention in the the food industry as an eco-friendly nonthermal process technology using electrical energy. The lack of understanding of the equipment and the burden of equipment cost have not significantly increased the commercial application, but the potential as a technology to replace the heat process has been continuously increased. Sterilization of foods using the PEF process has been applied to liquid foods with low viscosity such as fruit and vegetable juices, but recently, high viscosity smoothies, high concentrate protein drink, mixed juice, and alcoholic beverages. Studies on sterilization of solid foods such as powders, raw meats are also being conducted. Also, the application of extraction and recovery of useful ingredients, activation of active compounds, pretreatment of drying, improvement of meat quality, changes of properties of starch has been studies.

This paper investigated far-infrared emission characteristics of ZrC imbedded heat storage knitted fabrics for emotional garment. For this purpose, ZrC imbedded heat storage PET was spun with high viscosity PET imbedded ZrC powder on the core part and low viscosity PET on the sheath part by conjugated spinning method. Ingredient analysis and far-infrared emission characteristics assessment of spun filament were carried out by EDS and FT-IR spectrometer. Two kinds of knitted fabrics were made using texturized ZrC imbedded PET for measuring thermal characteristics of ZrC imbedded heat storage PET. Zr peak was certified by EDS measurement and it was confirmed that content of Zr was 19.29%. Far-infrared analysis revealed that emission power at the range of wavelength, $5{\sim}20{\mu}m$ was $3.65{\times}10^2W/m^2$, and emissivity was 0.906. Heat storage analysis by KES-F7 system revealed that $Q_{max}$ of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was lower than that of regular PET one and warmth keepability rate was higher than that of regular one, which means that ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric has heat storage property. Thermal conductivity of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was higher than that of regular PET one which was caused by high thermal conductivity of Zr itself. Hand property of ZrC imbedded knitted fabric was not inferior compared to regular PET knitted fabric, which preferably was found to be dependent on knit structure and surface property.

Effects of various levels and molecular weights (MWs) of chitooligosaccharides and chitosan with pork salt-soluble protein (SSP) on pH, moisture (%), viscosity, and hardness of protein-chitosan mixtures were determined in a model study. Mixtures of 0.15, 0.3, and 0.45% chitosan at various MWs (Low, 1.5 kDa; Medium, 30-50 kDa; High, 200 kDa) were dissolved in 3% SSP solution for measurement of pH and viscosity at $20^{\circ}C$. pH value increased with addition of 0.45% low MW of chitooligosacchearides into SSP (p<0.05), whereas decreased with addition of 0.45% medium MW and 0.3% or higher level of high MW chitosan. Viscosity increased with addition of more than 0.3% either medium or high MW chitosan (p<0.05), as compared to mixture with low MW chitolligosaccharide and control (p<0.05). No differences in gel pH, moisture, and hardness values were observed among treatments (p>0.05). Further study will be performed to evaluate rheological properties actual meat products with various levels and MWs of chitosan.

While the project for registering the unregistered relics that had been stored in the relic storage warehouse was in progress, restoration operations were started for the large size pottery pieces that had been excavated from the Geumgangsa Temple Site and it is attempted to explain the pottery pieces and to introduce the process of the overall conservation treatment. About 600 pieces of large size pottery had been separately stored in more than 40 relic boxes in their original damaged condition without making it possible to figure out their shape, size, usage and quantity at all. Due to the enormous number and weight of the pottery pieces, they were, first of all, pre-classified largely into 6 groups of pottery pieces in consideration of the visible features such as pottery thickness, color sense and glaze brilliance, etc. for each kind of pottery raw material. However, as a result of making them adhere together on a temporary basis, they turned out to be only one piece of pottery in reality. In this restoring process, in order to see if the generally used cyanoacrylate adhesive was in fact safe when a very large, heavy and deformed pottery piece was to be put together, its safeness was checked by examining the adhesion velocity, adhesion strength and dissolution velocity for both from low to high viscosities through preliminary experiments. In order to restore the lost parts after putting the existing pieces together, diversified epoxy resins were used to fit their shapes. Considering that the bottom of the restored relic was shaped to be not flat but round without allowing it to stand alone, an exhibition mount was manufactured so that the relic could be stored stably and used readily for exhibition.

Non-viral gene carriers continue to attract a great deal of interest due to advantageous safety profile. Among the non-viral gene carriers, cationic liposomes or synthetic gene carriers are efficient DNA carriers in vitro. but their in vivo applications are greatly hampered because of low biocompatibility. On the other hand, chitosan, a natural cationic polysaccharide, is a candidate non-viral vector for gene delivery because of its low cytotoxicity and high positive charges. In this work, targeted gene carrier was synthesized to target artery wall cells using low molecular water-soluble chitosan (LMWSC). The molecular weight $(M_W)$ and degree of de acetylation (DDA) of LMWSC were measured by relative viscometer and Kina titration. respectively. The structure of LMWSC was analyzed by measuring FTIR, $^1H-NMR,\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. AWBP-PEG-g-LMWSC was synthesized by conjugation of the artery wall binding peptide (AWBP), a specific targeting peptide, to the end of pegylated LMWSC as a gene carrier to target artery wall cells. The synthesized AWBP-PEG-g-LMWSC were analyzed by measuring FTIR, $^1H-NMR$, zeta -potentiometer, and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Although the chitosan has many functional properties due to its cationic amino groups, the application of chitosan in foods is limited by its poor water solubility, bitter taste and astringency. This study was conducted to investigate physicochemical and sensory properties of chitosan hydrolysates in various molecular weights obtained by ultrafiltration after enzymatic hydrolysis. As molecular weight decreased, the solubility of chitosan hydrolysates increased, while the viscosity and emulsion stability decreased. High molecular weight chitosan hydrolysates (>30 kDa) exhibited 800% of fat binding capacity, while low molecular weight ones $(3{\sim}30\;kDa)$ showed 500% of fat binding capacity. Water soluble chitosan hydrolysates exhibited no color differences. Freeze-thaw stability of chitosan hydrolysates was good, without variations among fractions. Cholesterol binding capacity of chitosan hydrolysates was changed from 24% to 36% with increasing molecular weights. From sensory evaluation of chitosan hydrolysates, it was found that bitterness, astringency, chemical flavor and fish flavor of chitosan hydrolysates were very weak.

In this study, the method for processing glue and glue-alum sizing from the dancheong ground treatment was evaluated with respect to weather resistance, and its effect on the conservation of dancheong was analyzed. Viscosity and pH of the glue and glue-alum specimen were measured and classified into three categories(none layer, glue layer, and glue-alum layer), which were further classified according to low concentration(four times for 2%) and high concentration(once for 10%). The base layer formation was subsequently classified into three categories based on pigment adoption, namely, Noerok(celadonite), Seokganju(terra rossa), and Jangdan(red lead). The completed specimen was subjected to a changing-environment experiment for evaluating weather resistance and observing the surface. Color variations were analyzed before and after the experiment. The results indicate that glue-alum sizing comprising 5% alum or 7% alum has strong acidity that can affect the life of dancheong, and the high level of 7% alum makes it difficult to create a solid coating layer. After ultraviolet irradiation, the specimen with 7% alum changes its color to yellow. Furthermore, after moisture absorption and drying, cracks can be observed on the entire specimen surface that corroborate the physical change. Additionally, gas-based corrosion causes marginal surface changes. Hence, the formation of a stable coating layer can be achieved by incorporating a low concentration glue solution that is almost neutral, and the application of glue-alum sizing having 2% concentration can aid in the conservation of dancheong.

Characteristics of high molecular weight styrene-butadiene rubber(HM-SBR)/low molecular weight styrene-butadiene rubber(LM-SBR) mixtures were studied to investigate how to modify the processability and the mechanical properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Mooney viscosity of the HM-SBR/LM-SBR mixtures and torque increase due to the vulcanization decreased by increasing the LM-SBR content of the mixtures. Shore A hardness and rebound properties were decreased by increasing the LM-SBR content of the mixtures. It was found that the value of tan ${\delta}$ of the mixtures in rubbery state was increased, while glass transition temperatures of the vulcanized blends were constant by increasing the LM-SBR content of the mixtures. It was postulated that the decrease of Mooney viscosity by increasing the LM-SBR content of the blends was due to plasticizing effects of the LM-SBR and the increased polydispersity of the mixtures. Change of mechanical properties of the vulcanized HM-SBR/LM-SBR mixtures was attributed to the decreased crosslink densities of the mixtures by increasing the LM-SBR content of the mixtures.
