Lycopene, a carotenoid hydrocarbon is known to have effects on reducing cardiovascular risk factors, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Thus, a lot of supplementary foods with lycopene in several dosage forms like soft capsule filled with liquid and hard capsule filled with powder are available in a market. Recently, however, our research group found that the lycopene assay in Supplementary Food Code of South Korea is only valid for oily lycopene preparation. Thus, here, we developed a simple method to determine lycopene in solid preparations for Supplementary Food Code of South Korea using saponification and liquid chromatography with an absorbance detector. The method was validated following Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guidelines. All validation parameters observed in this study were within acceptable criteria of the guidelines (selectivity, linearity of r² ≥ 0.991, lower limit of quantification of 0.0149 mg/mL, accuracy as recovery (R) between 92.70 and 97.18 %, repeatability as relative standard deviation (RSD) values of R between 0.85 and 1.59 %, and reproducibility as the RSD value of interlaboratory R of 3.70 %). Additionally, the practical sample applicability of the validated method was confirmed by accuracy between 98.81 and 101.59 % observed from its lycopene certified reference material (CRM) analyses. Therefore, the present method could contribute to fortify the supplementary food safety management system in South Korea.

폴리비닐알코올 (poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA)는 분해되어 대부분의 성분이 물과 이산화탄소로 전환되는 가장 이상적인 환경친화성 고분자이다. PVA만의 특유한 반응인 비누화 과정에 의해 가지가 모두 제거되기 때문에 화학적인 방법에 의해 완벽한 선형고분자를 얻는 것이 가능하다. PVA는 측쇄에 존재하는 히드록시기의 강력한 수소결합 때문에 우수한 반응성 및 결합성을 보유한 유기 고분자로서, 수용성 뿐 아니라 다양한 소재와 상용성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다(1-4). (중략)

Five compounds$(I{\sim}V)$ were isolated from the roots of Peucedanum terebinthacem growing in Korea. Compounds I, IV and V are ${\beta}-sitosterol$, bergapten and umbelliferone, respectively. IR and NMR spectra of compounds II (mp. $190^{\circ}$) and III(mp. $111{\sim}120^{\circ}$), both white needle crystalls, indicate that compounds II is a furocoumarin and that compound III, yielding decursinol upon saponification, is a pyranocoumarin.

The physical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) are highly dependent on the degree of syndiotacticity, which is determined primarily by the choice of the vinyl ester monomer precursor. Efforts to produce more syndiotactic PVAs, as well to increase the molecular weight, have centered on the polymerization of vinyl trifluoroacetate,$^1$ vinyl trichloroacetate,$^2$ and vinyl pivalate (VPi).(omitted)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) obtained by the saponification of poly(vinyl ester) is a linear semicrystalline polymer; these polymers have been widely used as fibers for clothes and industries, binders, films, membranes, medicines for drug delivery system, and cancer cell-killing embolic materials. PVA fibers have high tensile and compressive strength, tensile modulus, and abrasion resistance because of the highest crystalline lattice modulus. (omitted)

폴리비닐알코올(poly(vinyl alcohol)) (PVA)은 수용성 고분자로써 필름 뿐만 아니라 생체의료용 소재와 산업용 소재로 많이 사용되고 있다. PVA는 폴리아세트산비닐과 같은 비닐에스테르계열 고분자를 비누화시켜 제조되는 히드록시기 함유 선형 결정성 고분자로서 이로부터 형성시킨 섬유나 필름은 높은 인장강도, 인장탄성률, 내마모성, 내용제성 및 내유성을 갖고 다른 고분자들에 비하여 월등히 우수한 내알칼리성과 산소 차단성을 보인다. (중략)

The aim of this study was to develop sample preparation method and evaluate the exact cholesterol content in egg and egg powder purchased from Korean markets, and to determine whether significant differences exist among various egg products, since a variety of products are available in Korean markets and there are no recent databases for cholesterol. To evaluate the cholesterol content in chicken egg sold in Korean local market, a simple method using non-heated saponification to determine cholesterol for emulsified foods was applied. The results of recovery for egg and egg powder were in a range of 92.4-105.0%, with a relative standard deviation between 1.1% and 2.8% by using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Therefore, the total cholesterol content in whole egg was estimated between 160.8 and 226.3 mg/egg (AV(average) $186.8{\pm}3.5$), which is similar or lower than previously reported levels. The value for cholesterol in egg powder was estimated between 2.94 and 3.49 mg/g (AV $3.23{\pm}0.15$). We suggested method that can be applicable to chicken egg and egg powder matrix as providing rapid and accurate determination of cholesterol in egg and egg powder. This information will be helpful for processed food producers for deciding food labels of cholesterol content.

Colored, electrophoretic polymer nanoparticles of poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene-co-vinyl acetate)[poly(St-co-DVB-co-VAc)] were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion co-polymerization and reactive dyeing. The emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene, divinyl benzene and vinyl acetate was carried out at $70^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs to obtain monodisperse polymer nanoparticles of poly(St-co-DVB-co-VAc) with an average diameter of 180~200 nm. These nanoparticles were transformed into poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene-co-vinyl alcohol) [poly(St-co-DVB-co-VA)] nanoparticles through the saponification reaction. The poly(St-co-DVB-co-VA) nanoparticles were treated with reactive dyes to obtain the colored, monodisperse electrophoretic nanoparticles, and their morphology and surface charge were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, UV/Vis absorbance and zeta-potentiometry.
