This study was performed to evaluate functional and textural properties of low-salt pork meat products treated with transglutaminase (TG) using sodium polyphosphate (STPP) and sodium pyrophosphate (SPP). In experiment 1, lightness and yellowness decreased (p>0.05), but moisture content and cooking yield (%) increased with increased salt level (p<0.05). Based on these results, at least 1.0% salt was required to manufacture comminuted pork meat without quality defects. The effect of STPP and SPP with TG in low-salt (1%) pork comminuted shoulder meat products was evaluated in experiment 2. pH values increased with the addition of phosphate (p<0.05), with pH values in treatments containing TG and PP alone or in combination being higher than those with STPP alone (p<0.05). Cooking yield of treatments with TG and phosphates was higher than those without phosphates, but lower than CTL (1.5% salt and 0.4% STPP; p<0.05). Springiness of pork comminuted meat containing SPP was higher than those of CTL (p<0.05). These results indicate that low-salt meat products can be produced by the combination of TG and phosphate either alone or in combination to maintain cooking yield and textural properties.

In this study, the precipitation of rare earth-sodium sulfate with sodium sulfate was conducted in order to separate rare earth from Fe in rare earth sulfate solution. Neodymium (Nd) was easily precipitated as Nd-sulfate salt with sodium sulfate, on the other hand, excessive sodium sulfate was needed for the precipitation of Dy-sulfate salt. Also neodymium not only promoted the precipitation of dysprosium sulfate salt but also increased recovery of dysprosium sulfate salt in sulfuric acid solution. At the condition of $60^{\circ}C$ precipitation temperature, 3 h reaction time, 7 equivalents sodium sulfate, the recovery of neodymium and dysprosium sulfate salt was 99.7% and 94.3% respectively from the sulfuric acid solution containing Nd of 23.39 mg/ml and Dy of 8.67 mg/ml. Lastly, from the results of separation of Dy to Nd by the method of sulfate double salt, the effect of salting out with NaCl is important to increase the grade of Dy, and 98.7% of Dy grade could be obtained in this study.

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of the addition of varied levels of NaCi and phosphates on the physicochernical properties of the breast meat of the spent layers(2 \pm 0.2 kg) which were stabilized for over 24 h before slaughter. Within 1 h after slaughter, breast meats were removed and treated with NaGl(0, 1, 2, 3%) and phosphates(0.25% and 0.5%) using a hot-salted method. The breast meat was stored at 4 \pm $1^{\circ}C$ for 3 d. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The pH values of salt-treated groups were significantly higher than that of the control(P<0.05) ; the higher the salt level, the higher the pH. The pH values were significantly increased in both control and treatment groups during storage(P<0.05). Among salt-treated groups, the 0.5% phosphates level showed significantly high pH(P<0.05) compared to other levels of salt groups. 2. The moisture contents were significantly lower in all salt4reated groups than the control(P<0.05), and showed a negative relationship with the levels of salt. It decreased in control group gradually as the storage period extended, but not significantly changed in salt-treated groups. 3. The shear force values in salt-treated groups were lower than that of the control and showed a negative relationship with salt levels. At a constant level of NaCI, the shear force value was higher in 0.25% phosphates level than in 0.5% level. It decreased in both control and salt-treated groups during storage. 4. The salt treatments tended to increase the sodium content proportionately. The sodium content decreased in both control and salt treatment groups during storage(P<0.05). In addition, the combination of high levels of NaCl and phosphates rather than those of low levels of NaCI and phosphates resulted in elevated levels of sodium. 5. The phosphorus contents in salt-treated groups were higher than that of control. Between 0.5% and 0.25% phosphates levels this value showed significant difference(P<0.05). Its contents in both control and treatment groups were significantly decreased during storage (P<0.05).

Sodium sulfate is commonly added in reactive dyebath in order to increase substantivity of the reactive dye to cellulose fiber by reducing repulsion between anionic dye and fiber. While sodium sulfate is mostly used in solid form, it is inconvenient to dissolve a large amount of powder sodium sulfate. Furthermore, if there is undissolved salt in dyebath it might cause unlevel dyeing. In this study, sodium sulfate in liquid or solid form was used in dyeing of cellulose fabric with reactive dyes of three primary color and the effect of type or amount of sodium sulfate on dyeing and fastness properties was investigated. When the amount of sodium sulfate rose to 30-50 g/l, K/S value of the dyed fabric markedly increased; further rise in sodium sulfate concentration resulted in slow increase in K/S value. For light color, optimum amount was about 30 g/l in solid form and 50-100 g/l in liquid form while, for medium to deep color, it was 50 g/l and 100-150 g/l in solid and liquid form, respectively. When using each optimum amount of salt in solid or liquid form for medium color, shape of dyeing curve as well as exhaustion was similar to each other. On the whole, similar color fastness results were obtained regardless of type or amount of sodium sulfate.

The aim of this study is to elevate the efficiency of salting with low salt concentration in order to improve the quality of salted Chinese cabbage. The efficiency of salting was tested with various sub-atmosphere(760mmHg to 0mmHg), temperature(20$^{\circ}C$ and 30$^{\circ}C$), and concentration of salt(3%, 5% and 10%). The salting efficiency was estimated by amounts of juice, calcium elution, sodium penetration and the state of tissue. The amunts of juice eleuted from Chinese cabbage was increased significantly with the decrease of atmosphere and the time to reach the highest amounts was reduced. This tendency was promoted, with increase of salinigy(from 3% to 10%)and the increase of temperature(more juice at 30$^{\circ}C$ than 20$^{\circ}C$). The amounts of eluted calcium from Chinese cabbage tissue during salting under sub-atmosphere was directly proportional to amounts of juice and was inversely proportional to penetrated sodium. The salting time was reduced with elevation of sub-atmosphere. It was desirable to take between 5.5 and 9 hours to salt under the condition of 3% of salting, 20$^{\circ}C$, and 560-0mmHg. It took between 4.4 and 5 hours under 5% of salt and between 4 and 4.5 hours under 10% of salt. However, it was undesirable because the drying phenomenon and the transparency of tissue appeared under 30$^{\circ}C$ and 160-0mmHg.

Two studies were conducted using 40 cross-bred bulls to study the effect of chopping, moistening with water or common salt solution on the nutritive value of rice straw (variety BG-400). Moistening with water did not significantly effect digestibility or intake of rice straw. As compared to straw fed in the long form, chopping did not significantly influence intake (2.33 vs 1.97kg $100kgBW^{-1}day^{-1}$, respectively), but significantly (p<0.05) decreased the digestibility (41.6 vs 37.4%) and intake of digestible dry matter (0.99 vs 0.74kg $100kgBW^{-1}day^{-1}$). Rice straw moistened with 2 or 4% common sea salt solution and directly fed to animals (Exp. 1) did not significantly effect its digestibility (43.9 and 43.1%, respectively) or intake (2.66 or 2.59kg $100kgBW^{-1}day^{-1}$, respectively), but over night storing of 2% salt solution sprayed straw (Exp. 2) significantly reduced its digestibility (33.6%). The latter is difficult to explain because the sodium concentration (mg/g straw dry matter) was lower than 4% salt solution treatment used in experiment 1 (3.30 vs 5.22). It is concluded that chopping, moistening with water or NaCl salt solution did not significantly improve the nutritive value of rice straw.

In this study, the effect of sodium chloride (salt) concentration and phosphate on the quality properties of samgyetang was investigated. Increasing the salt concentration by 0.5% increased the moisture and ash content, salinity, water holding capacity (WHC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), whereas the protein content, pH, cooking losses, and shear forces were decreased. Addition of phosphate to the brine increased the pH and WHC, but decreased the TBARS, cooking losses, and shear forces. In a sensory evaluation, the scores for flavor and overall acceptability were the highest when the salt concentration of the brine was 2.0%. Overall, this study shows that the salt concentration and addition of phosphate to the brine of samgyetang substantially influences the overall quality of the chicken breast. Based on quality measurements and sensory scores, a 2.0% salt concentration with the addition of phosphate appear to be the most suitable conditions for the manufacturing of marinated samgyetang.

This study optimized the chemical cleaning process of discarded RO membranes for reuse in less demanding separation processes. The effect of physicochemical parameters, including the temperature, cleaning time, pH of the cleaning solution, and addition of additives, on the cleaning process was investigated. The membrane performance was evaluated by testing the flux recovery rate and salt rejection before and after the cleaning process. High temperatures (45-50 ℃) resulted in a better flux recovery rate of 71% with more than 80% salt rejection. Equal time for acid and base cleaning 3-3 h presented a 72.43% flux recovery rate with salt rejection above 85%. During acid and base cleaning, the best results were achieved at pH values of 3.0 and 12.0, respectively. Moreover, 0.05% concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid presented 72.3% flux recovery, while 69.2% flux was achieved using sodium dodecyl sulfate with a concentration of 0.5%; both showed >80% salt rejection, indicating no damage to the active layer of the membrane. Conversely, 0.5% concentration of sodium percarbonate showed 83.1% flux recovery and 0.005% concentration of sodium hypochlorite presented 85.2% flux recovery, while a high concentration of these chemicals resulted in oxidation of the membrane that caused a reduction in salt rejection.

Aim: The risk factors mostly strongly associated with gastric cancer are gastric bacteria Helicobacter pylori and diet. Using a case-control study among residents in Jinan, we examined the association between the salt taste and gastric cancer according to H. pylori infection, smoking and histological type as well as tumor site. Methods: This population-based case-control study included 207 cases and 410 controls. Data on potential risk factors of gastric cancer were obtained by interview of cases and controls with a questionnaire, salt taste preference was measured for all subjects, and IgG antibodies to H. pylori were applied to assess infection. Risk measures were determined using unconditional logistic regression. Results: The proportions of salt taste at intervals of 1.8-7.2 g/L and ${\geq}7.2$ g/L were significantly higher in cases than controls, with ORs of 1.56 (1.23-3.64) and 2.03 (2.12-4.11), respectively, subjects with high salt intake having an elevated risk for gastric cancer when infected with H. pylori. Significant modification by smoking and tumor site was observed across the different measures of salt intake, the highest salt taste showed higher cancer risk in ever smokers or with non-cardia cancers. Conclusion: Our study supports the view that high intake of sodium is an important dietary risk factor for gastric cancer, with a synergistic effect found between salt and H.pylori and smoking, dependent on the tumor site.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of sodium cholride supplementation on bone metabolism in female rats consuming a low calcium diet. Twenty five female rats were divided into three dietary groups (control Na : 0.1038%, 1% Na : 1.036%, 2% Na : 2.072%). All experimental diets contained 0.27% Ca and were fed to rats with deionized water for 7 weeks. Bone mineral density(BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC) of total body, spine and femur were measured using energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) by small animal software. Then Ca efficiency was calculated from BMD and BMC. Serum Ca, P, Na and urine Ca, P, Na were determined. Urinary pyridinoline, serum ALP were measured to monitor bone resorption. Following 7 weeks, sodium cholride supplemented groups had higher urinary Ca excreteion, urinary pyridinoline, crosslinks value and serum ALP. There was no significant difference in case of serum Ca among all groups. Sodium chloride supplemnted groups had lower Ca effciency of total, spine and femur BMD and BMC than that of control group. In conclusion high salt intake not only increases urinary Ca excretion as urinary Na excretion does but also increase bone resorption and decrease Ca efficiency of each bone. It is been suggested that high salt intake may be harmful for bone maintenance. Therfore, the decrease of salt intake to the level of recommendation would be desirable.
