Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the actual state about ultrasonic cleaning of soft contact lenses in local optical shops and evaluate the removal effect of protein deposit on soft contact lenses with different lens containers by ultrasonic cleaner for eyeglasses. Methods: The actual state about ultrasonic cleaning of soft contact lenses was surveyed in total 75 local optical shops in Seoul, Korea. The cleaning efficacy of different lens containers was compared by measuring the protein remained on ocufilcon D contact lenses after washing by an ultrasonic cleaner for eyeglasses. The changes on surfaces and wetting angles of ocufilcon D contact lenses by repeat ultrasonication were further investigated. Results: The main purpose to use ultrasonic cleaners in local optical shops was rapid cleaning. The ultrasonic cleaning efficacy of ocufilcon D contact lenses with glass containers was little higher than it with plastic containers, but was not significantly different. The changes on surfaces and wetting angles of ocufilcon D contact lenses in a plastic lens container by repeat ultrasonication such as 30 and/or 60 times were shown. Conclusions: There was not significant difference in cleaning efficacy between glass and plastic lens containers. However, repeat cleaning with ultrasonic cleaner for eyeglasses would be carefully considered since some significant changes in the parameters of lens surface and wetting angles were detected by repeat ultrasonification even when lens containers were used for ocufilcon D contact lens during ultrasonictions.

Recycled plastic containers, so-called 'Tarai' in Korea which are often used as food containers, were collected from 23 domestic manufacturers. Then, their components were analyzed to find out whether they are safe for the use of food-contact material, to meet the standards and specifications of Korean hygienic regulations, the 'Food Code.' The components of the material were analyzed by using Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), and Elementary Analyzer (EA). The analysis of the FT-IR and the DSC showed that the main component of the samples was polyethylene. Furthermore, the analysis of the EA for 'Tarai' sample revealed the same ratio of C and H elements as in the case of polyethylene which was 1 to 2. Phenol and formaldehyde were not detected in all the samples. As for the antioxidant tests, Irganox 1010, Irganox 1076 and Irganox 1330 were detected in various samples. With regard to the material test for heavy metals, 7 out of 23 samples exceeded the limit value of 100 mg/kg in lead contents. No standard and specification is yet prescribed in the 'Food Code' for the material of 'Tarai' as plastic containers for food. This study suggests that the use of 'Tarai' as a food container should be strictly controlled.

현대인의 생활수준의 향상에 따른 관상식물의 관심이 증가하여, 자생초화류를 활용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 산꼬리풀[Veronica rotunda var. subintegra (Nakai) T.Yamaz.]은 국내 특산식물로서 산지의 초원에서 자생하고, 쪽빛을 내는 화기는 청아한 느낌을 주어 관화식물로서 이용가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 산꼬리풀의 분화 재배기술을 확립하고자 2018년 7월 2일부터 10월 15일까지 수행하였다. 대조구는 플라스틱 화분 10호에 원예상토를 충진한 다음 200구에 셀당 4립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하였다. 실험은 식재용기(플라스틱 8, 10, 12호 화분, 비닐포트 3, 4치), 토양종류[원예상토 단용, 중화 피트모스:펄라이트(3:1, 4:1), 마사토:중화 피트모스(2:1, 3:1)], 묘의 소질[파종립수(1, 2, 4, 6립), 파종용기(162, 200, 288구 트레이)] 등이 생육에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 식재용기에 따른 생육은 플라스틱 화분 12호에서 왕성하였고, 포트의 용적량이 클수록 경직경, 측지수, 마디수, 엽수, 개화율이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 토양종류에 따른 생육은 원예상토에서 가장 왕성하였고, 측지수, 경직경, 마디수, 엽수 및 개화율이 모두 우수하여 관상용 재배에 적합하였다. 피트모스 혼용토는 생육이 억제되는 동시에 잎이 황화되는 현상이 나타났다. 마사토 혼용토의 경우, 생육이 억제되는 결과를 보였다. 셀당 파종량을 달리한 유묘를 정식하여 재배한 결과, 초장, 절간장은 파종량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 포트당 마디수와 엽수는 증가하였으나, 1립 파종묘를 제외하고 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 개화율은 4립 파종묘(44.4%)가 1, 2, 6립 파종묘(20.8~25.0%)보다 높았다. 육묘용기별 생육은 초기생육이 우수하였던 162구 생산묘가 정식 후 재배에도 왕성한 생육을 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 산꼬리풀의 최적의 분화재배를 위해 플라스틱 화분 12호에 원예상토를 충진한 다음 162구 트레이에 포트당 엽수와 개화율이 높은 4립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하여 재배하는 것이 우수할 것으로 판단된다. 경제적 측면을 고려하여 토양은 비교적 생육이 양호하였던 마사토의 활용방안을 검토하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

환경부는 재활용의무생산자가 준수하여야 할 포장재 재질·구조 및 재활용의 용이성에 대한 평가 기준을 마련하는 것을 목적으로 '포장재 재활용 용이성 등급평가 기준'을 2월 28일부로 일부 개정했다고 발표했다. 이로 인해 플라스틱과 금속 등이 함께 부착된 화장품 용기, 포장용기와 쟁반(트레이) 등은 재활용이 어려운 등급으로 상향 조정된다. 또한 서로 다른 재질이 혼합돼 분리할 수 없으면 일반 쓰레기로 버려야 한다. 이번호와 다음호에 걸쳐 그 상세 내용을 살펴보도록 한다.

Currently, plastic bags are being used for sawdust cultivation of shiitake mushroom. However, due to serious environmental problems caused by the use of plastic bags, we studied the efficacy of bottle cultivation method to replace the sawdust bag method. Small detachable plastic bottles (400 g capacity) filled with Quercus spp. sawdust and wheat bran (4:1 w/w) media were incubated for 80 and 120 days. The weight loss (%) of the media was higher for the NIFoS 2464 strain at an approximate light intensity of 300 Lux than light intensity of 500 Lux; the light intensity was associated with the loss of sawdust medium-weight during the cultivation period. The highest yield was observed when the strain was cultivated for 80 days under dark conditions, 40 days under 500 Lux light, and air circulation fan speed of 30 rpm. When incubated for 120 days, mushroom yield in the bottle media was higher at 40 days of light exposure than 20 days of light exposure. In the bottle media incubated for 80 days under dark conditions, the mushrooms fruited due to repetitive water spraying on the top of the media and light stimulation during the fruiting period. The media could be separated from the bottles because the media shrank after the first harvest. These separated plastic bottles could be re-used for mushroom cultivation, thereby reducing the amount of plastic waste.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics for optimization of premix-type Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) Soksungjang (BS). First, according to the amount of salt (8, 10, 12%), coliform counts were not detected in BS with 10 or, 12% salt at 21 days and Bacillus subtilis HJ 18-4 as a starter at 7 days. Therefore, 10% salt with starter culture might be considered as suitable conditions for safety. Second, according to the ratio of water (1:1, 1:1.5, 1:1.8), BS prepared with the same weights of meju powder and water showed the highest aminotype nitrogen content (688.76mg%) at 35 days; thus, an adequate fermentation state was established at this condition compared to others. Third, according to the type of container (pot, plastic, glass), the aminotype nitrogen contents were higher in the plastic container and pot than in the glass bottle. Lastly, according to the batch size (1.25, 2.5 kg), the coliform of the 2.5 kg sample decreased faster than that of 1.25 kg samples at 14 days. These results suggest that BS prepared with the same ratio of water and meju powder fermented with HJ 18-4 as a starter and 10% salt in a pot, plastic container (3 weeks) and glass container (4 weeks) showed desirable fermentation qualities.
