The study aims to determine the optimum sterilization rate and water activity of Chinese traditional smoke-cured bacon product (Larou) in the preservation with natural coating solution. With the response surface methodology (RSM), we analyzed 3 factors of processing conditions (the concentration of lysozyme, concentration of sodium alginate, and concentration of chitosan) and 2 response factors (sterilization rate and water activity). Sterilization rate and water activity of Larou were largely affected by the concentration of lysozyme, concentration of sodium alginate, and concentration of chitosan. The final optimum concentrations of lysozyme, sodium alginate, and chitosan were 0.09, 1.40, and 1.60% and realized the high sterilization rate. Water activity of sliced Larou was significantly correlated with the sterilization rate. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance analysis verified the optimum processing conditions. The coating resulted in 99.69% rate of reducing bacteria after 30-day storage. The data of the total number of colony, peroxidation value, moisture content, pH, and sensory evaluation provided the theoretical basis for extending the shelf life of Chinese traditional smoke-cured bacon product (Larou) with natural coating solution.

포장에서 생육된 잔디 포복경을 이용한 Agrobacterium 형질전환에 있어서 큰 제한인자였던 곰팡이 오염을 제거할 목적으로 포복경 조직에 대한 새로운 살균법을 개발하고자 하였다. 여러 가지 살균방법 중에서 30% NaOCl로 15분간 처리한 다음 0.1% $HgCl_2$로 25분간 처리 했을 때 포복경 절편체의 생존율이 높았으며, 0.1% $HgCl_2$로 처리시 800 mbar의 진공처리를 5분간 실시했을 때 가장 효과적이었다. 또한 Agrobacterium과 공동배양 시 2.5 mg/l의 amphotericin B를 첨가해 준 배지에서 배양했을 때 가장 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. AmB의 처리는 Agrobacterium의 생장에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 살균된 포복경으로 부터 신초의 재분화에도 영향을 미치지 않았으며 곰팡이 오염만을 효율적으로 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 포장에서 대량으로 생육시킨 잔디 포복경을 이용한 Agrobacterium 형질전환 시 그 효율을 증가시키는데 큰 기여를 할 것으로 추측된다.

The sterilization was attempted to improve the quality deterioration of soybean paste during its storage. For this experiment, soybean paste was sterilized at 80oC for 30 minutes and stored during 6 months at 15oC and 30oC, respectively. The total approximate composition contents were moisture 52.5%, crude protein 11.94%, crude fat 2.0%, amino nitrogen 413.3mg%, sodium chloride 11.61% and ash 15.5%. According to the increase of storage period, pH was decreased gradually because of the increase of organic acids by the metabolism of microorganisms and the acid accumulation by acid forming bacteria, but titratable acidity was increased during storage. Amino nitrogen was rapidly increased for the first one or two month storage period and maintained as the same level for the rest of them. Each amino acid contents of soybean paste, which were glutamic acid, tryptophan, proline, arginine, and aspartic acid, had much higher level than others. In color changes sterilized soybean paste(SSP) was much lower than that of raw ones(RSP). Hunter L and b values on the surface of soybean paste were decreased during storage, and the decreasing levels were higher at 30oC than at 15oC. Hunter a value, however, was increased a little in the initial storage, and thereafter it was decreased. Lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and molds were disappeared completely by the sterilization. However, the bacteria of aerobes and anaerobes were not disappeared by this processing.

Intense pulsed light(IPL) has been highlighted as an innovative nonthermal sterilization technology that can kill spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms by using short-duration pulses of intense broad-spectrum electromagnetic radiation. This paper examines the inactivation effects of IPL on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated on seafood products such as salmon, flatfish, and shrimps and evaluates the possibility of extending the shelf-life of seafood products. The results indicate that the inactivation of microorganisms increased with an increase in IPL energy density($J/cm^2$) and a decrease in the distance between the sample surface and the lamp. In addition, temperature increases on the fish fillets during the treatments were well controlled within the range of 5.7~$9.8^{\circ}C$. The IPL treatment had a significant positive effect on the storage stability of seafood products at the storage temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. These results suggest that the storage period for fish fillets can be extended from 4 days to 6~8 days through the IPL treatment.

전해 산화수의 식품가공 분야에의 이용가능성을 확인하고자 미생물에 대한 실험적 살균 효과와 배추, 양배추, 케일 및 상치를 대상으로 표면살균 효과를 검토하였다. 전해 산화수는 제조 초기에 산화환원전위 1,100mV-1,200mv를 나타냈으며, 실온에 16일 방치할 경우 1,000 mV, 30일 방치할 경우 600 mV 수준으로 감소되었다. 시험관 내에서 전해 산화수 처리 시간에 따른 미생물 살균 효과는, E. coli는 20분, S. aureus와 S. cerevisiae는 10분, 그리고 S. typhi는 40분 처리하면 완전히 사멸하는 것으로 나타났으나 B. cereus는 전해 산화수 처리 60분 후에도 일부 생존하고 있어 미생물 종류에 따라 살균 효과가 다른 것으로 나타났다. 배추, 양배추, 케일 및 상치와 같은 채소의 종류에 따른 전해 산화수의 표면살균 효과를 검토하고자 이들 채소류를 수도수 및 전해 산화수에 각각 60분까지 침지하여 침지시간에 따른 잔존 미생물수를 측정하였다. 수도수를 대조구로하여 60분까지 침지하였을 경우 배추, 양배추, 케일 및 상치는 모두 초기의 총균수와 대장균군수를 유지하고 있었으나 전해 산화수를 처리하면 채소의 종류에 따라 약간 다르지만 전반적으로 살균 효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 즉 전해 산화수를 처리하였을 경우, 배추는 침지 60분 후 초기 총균수의 96% 이상이 감소되었으며 대장균군수는 침지 50분 후부터는 검출되지 않았다. 양배추는 침지 60분 후 초기 총균수의 99% 이상이 감소되었고, 대장균군은 검출되지 않았다. 케일은 침지 60분 후 초기 총균수의 97% 이상이 감소되었고, 대장균군수는 침지 30분 후에는 검출되지 않았다. 한편 상치는 침지 60분 후 초기 총균수의 90%이상이 감소되었고, 대장균군수는 98% 수준이 감소되었지만 배추, 양배추, 케일의 경우와는 달리 완전 사멸하지 않는 것으로나타났다. 이상의 결과는 식품의 종류 및 미생물 종류에 따라 전해 산화수의 살균 효과에 약간의 차이가 있음을 보임과 동시에 식품가공에서의 제균 매체로 그 이용 가능성이 높음을 시사하고 있다.

하수방류수 살균 소독에 이용되는 UV 램프를 기존의 전극용보다 효율을 높이고 수명이 긴 무 전극 UV 램프를 제작하고 그 성능을 알아보았다. 우선 활성물질을 변화시키면서 제조한 램프의 UV 강도 및 온도의 변화를 실험 하였다. 그 결과 활성물질이 Hg/In의 무게비 95/5로 만든 램프를 250 min간 운전한 결과 UV 강도 $300{\mu}W/cm^2$ 및 온도 $200{\sim}250^{\circ}C$로 가장 안정적인 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 무전극 램프를 장시간 발광시켰을 경우 램프의 온도가 상승하기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해 실제 하수처리공정에 적용할 수 있는 냉각이 가능한 이중관 형태로 제작하여 UV 강도와 온도 변화특성을 알아보았다. 또한 제작된 무전극 UV lamp를 하수 방류수의 살균 소독을 위하여 대장균(E-coli.)으로 실험한 결과에서도 99.9% 이상의 살균효율을 보였다.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments in 2004 to prevent the transfer of aquatic organisms via ballast water. Forty ballast water treatment systems were granted final approval. A variety of techniques have been developed for ballast water treatment including UV treatment, indirect or direct electrolysis, ozone treatment, chemical compounds and plasma-arc method. In particular, using plasma and ozone nano-bubble treatments have been attracted in the fields. However, these treatment systems have a problem such as remained toxic substance, demand for high power source, low efficiency, ets. In this paper, we present our strilization results obtained from membrane type electrolytic-reduction treatment system The core of an electrolysis unit is an electrochemical cell, which is filled with pure water and has two electrodes connected with an external power supply. At a certain voltage, which is called critical voltage, between both electrodes, the electrodes start to produce hydrogen gas at the negatively biased electrode and oxygen gas at the positively biased electrode. The amount of gases produced per unit time is directly related to the current that passes through the electrochemical cell. From the results, we could confirm the sterilization effect of bacteria such as S. aureus, E. Coli and demonstrate the mechanism of sterilization phenomena by electrolytic-reduction treatment system.

Decay of fruit is one of the greatest issues in fruit storage. Purpose: In this study, citrus sterilization was performed to evaluate a dry sterilization method using an atmospheric-pressure nonthermal plasma treatment based on a dielectric-barrier discharge technique. Methods: Citrus samples were stored under four different environmental conditions as follows: group A had cold storage with plasma treatment with a temperature of $6.2{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity (RH) of $93.4{\pm}8.2%$, group B had ambient-temperature storage with $22.9{\pm}2.3^{\circ}C$ and $82.1{\pm}4.5%$ RH, group C ambient-temperature storage with plasma treatment with $25.3{\pm}2.2^{\circ}C$ and $90.0{\pm}2.8%$ RH, and group D had cold storage with $5.7{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ and $93.4{\pm}6.5%$ RH. Results: As a result of citrus surface sterilization by plasma treatment, treatment groups A and C together showed an average of 16.1 CFU/mL of mold colonies, while control groups B and D showed an average of $2.2{\times}10^2CFU/mL$ or approximately 13 times greater than the treatment groups. Regarding the mean concentration of aerobic bacteria colonies, the treatment groups (A and C) and control groups (B and D) showed an average of 7.1 CFU/mL and $1.9{\times}10^3CFU/mL$, respectively. This is approximately a 270-fold difference in the concentration of pathogen colonies between treatment and control groups. Conclusions: The results showed the potential of nonthermal plasma treatment for citrus storage in enhancing storage duration and quality preservation.

In the pasteurization of escalator handrails using ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers, a combination of light distribution and escalator speed has priority over other important factors. Furthermore, since part of the escalator handrail has a curved structure, proper design is needed to improve the sterilization rate on the surfaces touched by users. In this paper, two types of sterilizers satisfying these conditions are manufactured with 275-nm UV-C LEDs, after modeling the three-dimensional (3D) structure of an escalator handrail and simulating optical distributions of UV-C irradiation on the handrail's surface according to light-emitting diode (LED) positions and reflector variations in the sterilizers. Pasteurization experiments with the UV-C LED sterilizers are conducted on six types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with exposure times of 0.2, 5, and 15 s at an actual installation distance of 20 mm. The sterilization rates for the gram-positive bacteria are 10.63% to 27.94% at 0.2 s, 89.44% to 96.30% at 5 s, and 99.64% to 99.88% at 15 s. Those for the gram-negative bacteria are 57.70% to 77.63% at 0.2 s, 98.90% to 99.49% at 5 s, and 99.88% to 99.99% at 15 s. The power consumption of the UV-C LED sterilizer is about 8 W, which can be supplied by a self-generation module instead of an external power supply.

We investigated sterilization characteristics of UV lights by counting the number of bacteria units with varying sterilization time and distance from the light source. We focused on an idea that UV light of 184.9 nm could generate ozone and developed a new sterilizer. The UV-ozone duplex system sterilized bacteria faster than UV-only sterilizers. To reduce shadowing effects by target objects, we used UV transparent quartz plate as a support and put a reflecting plate. Distribution of UV irradiation intensity and ozone supply were analyzed by a 3D model and measured by a semiconductor UV sensor. But even with an Al reflector, multi-layered pens could not be treated properly from UV irradiation only. Ozone generating lamp could treat more uniformly multi-layered pens with a stirring fan by supplying ozone to shadowed surfaces.
