This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of clove extract (CE) (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) on the oxidative stability and quality deterioration of Chinese-style sausage stored for 21 d at $4^{\circ}C$. The addition of clove extract to sausages significantly retarded increases in Thiobarbituric Reactive Substances (TBARS) values (p<0.05), while also controlling the production of protein carbonyls (p<0.05). However, the addition of clove extract promoted reduced thiol group content in sausages (p<0.05). Sausages amended with clove extract also had decreased $L^*$ values (p<0.05) and increased $a^*$ values (p<0.05) when compared with the control. Similarly, texture deterioration was retarded in sausage containing added clove extract when compared with the control during refrigerated storage. Moreover, the addition of clove extract had no negative effects on the sensory properties of sausages. These results suggested that clove extract was effective at protecting sausages from oxidation and quality deterioration during refrigerated storage for 21 d.

Fabrication of heterogeneous catalysts using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has recently been attracting attention of surface chemists and physicists. In this talk, I will present recent results about structures and chemical activities of various catalysts prepared by ALD, particularly focusing on Ni-based catalysts. Ni has been considered as potential catalysts for $CO_2$ reforming of methane (CRM); however, Ni often undergoes rapid decrease in catalytic activity with time, and therefore, application of Ni as catalysts for CRM has been regarded as difficult so far. Deactivation of Ni catalysts during CRM reaction is from either coke formation on Ni surface or sintering of Ni particles during reaction. Two different strategies have been used for enhancing stability of Ni-based catalysts; $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited on micrometer-size Ni particles by ALD, which turned out to reduce coke formation on Ni surfaces. Ni nanoparticles deposited by ALD on mesoporous silica showed high activity and long-term stability from CRM without coke deposition and sintering during CRM reaction. Ni-based catalysts have been also used for oxidation of toluene, which is one of the most notorious gases responsible for sick-building syndrome. It was shown that onset-temperature of Ni catalysts for toluene oxidation is as low as $120^{\circ}C$. At $250\circ}C$, total oxidation of toluene to $CO_2$ with a 100% conversion was found.

This study presents the dielectric properties of $Ta_2O_5$ MIM capacitor structure processed by thermal oxidation. The AES(auger electron emission) depth profile showed thermal oxidation effect gives rise to the $O_2$ deficiened into the new layer. The leakage current density respectively, at $1{\sim}3{\times}10^{-3}$(kV/cm) were $3{\times}10^{-4}-10^{-8}(A/cm^2)$. Leakage current density behavior is stable irrespective of applied electric field, the frequency va capacitance characteristic enhanced stability. The capacitance vs voltage measurement that, $V_{fb}$(flat-band voltage) was increase dependance on the thin films thickness, it is changed negative to positive.

Recently, due to the activation policy of biodiesel, the blending biodiesel to petroleum product is increasing. Low-temperature fluidity and oxidation stability are the most significant issues to the marketers and end users of biodiesel. Thus, the way to control the quality of biodiesel blended fuels was investigated by duplicating the real storage situation of biodiesel blended fuels and evaluating the effect of oxidation trend and quality degradation. From the results of oxidation degradation test of biodiesel blended fuels, no special quality degradation has been observed through the evaporation for 18 weeks in a summer season under a storage circumstance without exposure to the sun light. However, the severe quality degradation was observed in PE vessel in only 2 weeks of storage. This oxidation degradation was also verified with FT-IR spectrum change. However, the special symptom cannot be distinguished by the quality test because the quality specifications were satisfied despite of the drastic oxidation degradation. Namely, the problem in a vehicle could be occurred by oxidation materials(polymer, organic acid. etc.) under oxidation even though it satisfied the quality specification.

Effects of lignan compounds (sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin) extracted from roasted sesame oil on the autoxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and thermal oxidation at $180^{\circ}C$ for 10 hr of sunflower oil were studied by determining conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) contents, p-anisidine values (PAV), and fatty acid composition. Contents of lignan compounds during the oxidations were also monitored. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol was used as a reference antioxidant. Addition of lignan compounds decreased CDA contents and PAY of the oils during oxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ or heating at $180^{\circ}C$, which indicated that sesame oil lignans lowered the autoxidation and thermal oxidation of sunflower oil. Sesamol was the most effective in decreasing CDA formation and hydroperoxide decomposition in the auto- and thermo-oxidation of oil, and its antioxidant activity was significantly higher than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin added to sunflower oil were degraded during the oxidations of oils, with the fastest degradation of sesamol. Degradation of sesamin and sesamolin during the oxidations of the oil were lower than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The results strongly indicate that the oxidative stability of sunflower oil can be improved by the addition of sesamol, sesamin, or sesamolin extracted from roasted sesame oil.

Although monolayer black phosphorus (BP) and few-layer BP nanosheets (NSs) have been extensively studied as promising alternatives to graphene, research has focused primarily on atomically thin-layered BP in an isolated form. In order to realize the practical applications of BP-related devices, a BP film based on continuous networking of few-layer BP NSs should be developed. In this study, a transparent BP film with high quality was fabricated via a vacuum filtration method. An oxygen-free water solvent was used as an exfoliation medium to avoid significant oxidation of the few-layer BP NSs in liquid-phase exfoliation. The exfoliation efficiency from bulk BP to the few-layer BP NSs was estimated at 22%, which is highly efficient for the production of continuous BP film. The characteristics of the high-quality BP film were determined as 98% transparency, minimum oxidation of 18%, structural stability, and an appropriate bandgap of about 1.8 eV as a semiconductor layer. In order to demonstrate the potential of the BP film for photocatalytic activity, we performed photoelectrochemical water oxidation of the transparent BP film. Although its performance should be improved for practical applications, the BP film could function as a photoanode, which offers a new potential semiconductor in water oxidation. We believe that if the BP film is adequately engineered with other catalysts the photocatalytic activity of the BP film will be improved.

Biodiesel and its blend fuels from soybean oil were characterized for their oxidation to apply automobile fuel from the analysis of FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) and chemical properties. Biodiesel produced from soybean oil contained unsaturated fatty acids (> 85 wt%) such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. Especially, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid containing active methyl radical were over 60 wt%. It is believed that linoleic acid and linolenic acid cause oxidation. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid during oxidation were major reactants, and compounds with the carbon number having around 36 (boiling point of about $500^{\circ}C$) were produced from those of radical autoxidation.

Storage stability of boiled and freeze dried loach and antioxidative effect of Zanthoxylum schinifolium were studied to confirm the possibility in development of instant choo o tang(Korean traditional loach soup). Packaging and storage temperature did not cause a measurable change in in vitro protein digestibility and trypsin indigestible substrate within 45 days of storage but remarkable quality changes were occurred in all samples stored after 60 days. Vacuum packaging and low temperature storage(4 oC) had some effect in retarding protein quality deterioration due to delaying polyunsaturated fatty acid oxidation. Maximum peroxide value and TBA value were reached in 15 days, and there were a slow(TBA value) and rapid reduction(POV) after peaks were reached. In contrast, increasing brown pigment development and fluorescence intensity continued until 90 days of storage. Treatment of ethanolic extracts from Zanthoxylum schinifolium prior to freeze drying could protect against lipid oxidation of freeze dried loach products.

Transition metal oxide-based electrodes for lithium ion batteries have recently attracted much attention because of their high theoretical capacity. Here we report the electrochemical behavior of cobalt oxide nanorods as anodes, prepared by a template-free, one-step electrochemical deposition of cobalt nanorods, followed by an oxidation process. The as-deposited cobalt has a slightly convex columnar structure, and controlled thermal oxidation produces cobalt oxides of different Co/O ratios, while the original shape is largely preserved. As an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery, the Co/O ratio has a strong effect on initial capacity and cycling stability. In particular, the one-dimensional Co@Co_xO_y core shell structure obtained from a mild heat-treatment results in superior cycling stability.

By inserting $H_2O$ treatment steps during atomic layer deposition of a ZnO layer, the turn-on voltage shift from negative bias stress (NBS) under illumination was reduced considerably compared to that of a device that has a continuously grown ZnO layer without any treatment steps. Meanwhile, treatment steps without introducing reactive gases, and simply staying under a low working pressure, aggravated the instability under illuminated NBS due to an increase of oxygen vacancy concentration in the ZnO layer. From the experiment results, additional oxidation of the ZnO channel layer is proven to be effective in improving the stability against illuminated NBS.
