This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical properties of aloe added bagel. The result of sensory evaluation showed that addition of the aloe powder above 1% was not advisable because of its bitterness. freeze dried aloe powder(0, 1%, 0.5%, 1%) was added to bagel and chemical compositions of doughs were evaluated. The ash content of control was 0.444% and each of the samples(0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) was 0.472%, 0.553%, and 0.633% respectively. Although the ash content of dough increased gradually according to the addition of aloe powder, the volume of the bagel was not affected much. As the amount of the aloe powder was changed, the water absorption rate, the extensibility, and the viscosity of the dough were affected. The physical characteristics of dough were as follows: 1) The water absorption rate of the dough was gradually decreased from 65.3% at control, to 65.2% at 0.1%, 64.2% at 0.5%, 63.5% at 1% each by farinograph. 2) The extensibility of the dough was significantly declined at 1% by extensograph; from 20.7cm at control, to 20.3cm at 0.1%, 18.8cm at 0.5%, and 16.4cm at 1% each. 3) The top viscosity of the dough was sharply declined between 575 B.U at control and 515 B.U at 0.1%, afterwards, 480 B.U at 0.5%, 475 B.U at 1% each by viscograph. Considering the result of the test, aloe added bagel could promote physicochemical properties of dough as well as health effects.

This study was conducted to evaluate in situ soil flushing and coagulation for naphtalenes-contaminated soil remediation. Mixed-surfactant of 1% POE12 and 1% SDS (1 : 1 by volume basis) was used as a flushing solution. When 5 pore volumes of mixed -surfactant were added to soil column, the flushing efficiencies of 2-methylnaphtalene and 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene with about 1,500 mg/kg(dry soil) were approximately 80% and 60% respectively. In adding 13 pore volumes of mixed-surfactant, the flushing efficiencies of 2-methylnaphtalene and 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene were 90% and 82%. However, considering in situ soil flushing with distilled water, about 42% and 71% were flushed for 2-methylnaphtalene and 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene by surfactant-only. For about 10,000 mg/kg(dry soil) diesel-contaminated soil, 40% and 70% of TPH were flushed-out in 5 pore volumes and 13 pore volumes addition. However, for naphtalenes in diesel TPH, 90% of flushing efficiency was discovered in adding only 5 pore volumes of flushing solution. There was not discovered significant difference among coagulation efficiencies of 6 kinds of polymers, and the coagulation efficiencies were near 50%.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of noodles containing roasted Liriopis tuber. Roasted Liriopis tuber powder (LTP) was added in different amounts based on wheat flour (1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%). Cooked noodles containing LTP exhibited significantly lower values for weight, volume, and water absorption; in contrast, higher values were exhibited for turbidity. The Hunter L value (for lightness) of uncooked and cooked noodles decreased but the a value (for redness) and b value (for yellowness) increased with the addition of Liriopis tuber. Textural properties (springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness) measured with a texture analyzer significantly decreased with the addition of Liriopis tuber. From the sensory evaluation results, noodle containing 7% Liriopis tuber was considered the best. To improve the quality of noodle containing 7% LTP, activated gluten was added at different percentages of flour (1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%). Cooked noodles containing activated gluten exhibited significantly higher values for weight, volume, and water absorption; in contrast, lower values for turbidity were exhibited. In addition, the textural properties significantly increased with the addition of activated gluten. From the sensory evaluation results, noodle containing 3% activated gluten was considered the best. In conclusion, noodle with 7% LTP and 3% activated gluten exhibited the most desirable qualities.

This study evaluated the effect of whey brew cultured by Lactobacillus helveticus ATCC 55163 and Propionibacterium acidipropionici 5020 on bread quality characteristics. Ten and 15% whey brew were added to flour-based bread, after which bread volume, pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), moisture content, water activity, texture, organic acid content, and sensory evaluation were analyzed. The bread volume and TTA of control were the largest among the samples, whereas pH was the lowest. Moisture content did not significantly differ depending on the amount of whey brew added, though water activity was highest in the bread with 10% whey brew. However, hardness was the lowest in bread with 10% whey brew. Propionic acid was not detected while succinic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid were detected in small amounts in the control compared to the test samples. Succinic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid content was high in bread with 15% whey brew, with propionic acid present at a very high amount. In terms of sensory evaluation, bread with 10% whey brew had the highest score. As a result, high quality characteristics were associated with the bread with 10% whey brew, whereas long preservation was a characteristic of the bread with 15% whey brew.

In order to investigate the daily deposition characteristics of water-soluble inorganic components in airborne deposit on the Iksan, deposition samples were collected using a deposition gauge from October 16 to November 1, 2004. Deposition samples were collected using two different sampling gauges, a dry gauge and a wet gauge, respectively. To get wet the bottom of wet gauge during the sampling period, the volume of $30{\sim}50ml$ distilled ionized water was added in a wet gauge before the beginning of each deposition sampling. Deposition samples were collected twice a day and analyzed for inorganic water-soluble anions ($Cl^-,\;{NO_3}^-,\;{SO_4}^{2-}$) and cations (${NH_4}^+,\;Na^+,\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;Ca^{2+}$) using ion chromatography. Qualify control and quality assurance of analytical data were checked by the data obtained from reinjection of standard solution, Dionex cross check standard solutions, and random several deposition samples, and measured data was estimated to be reliable. Considering the deposition sample volume, the sampling time, the surface area of sampling container, and the ion concentration measured, the daily deposition amounts for measured ions were calculated in $mg/m^2$. The total daily deposition amounts of all measured ions for dry and wet gauge were $7.5{\pm}2.8$ and $17.7{\pm}4.2mg/m^2$, respectively. A significant increase in deposition amount during rainfall days was observed for both wet gauge and dry gauge, having no difference of deposition amount between in wet gauge and in dry gauge. The mean deposition of all ions measured in this study were higher in wet gauge than in dry gauge because of the surface difference of the sampling container, especially for ${NH_4}^+\;and\;{SO_4}^{2-}$. The mean deposition amounts of ${NH_4}^+\;and\;{SO_4}^{2-}$ in wet gauge were found to be about 10 times and 3 times higher than those in dry gauge, while the rest of the chemical species were equal or a little higher in wet gauge than in dry gauge. Dominant species in dry gauge were ${NO_3}^-\;and\;Ca^{2+}$, accounting for 21% and 28% of the total ion deposition, whereas those in wet gauge were ${SO_4}^{2-}\;and\;{NH_4}^+$, accounting for 19% and 41% of the total ion deposition, respectively.

Generally, OPC(ordinary portland cement) is used for grouting in Korea, and bentonite has usually been added to prevent the deposition of cement particles. The dispersion of CB(cement bentonite) grout is influenced by variable factors i.e. water to cement ratio, particle size of cement, kind of bentonite, adding volume, method of adding, viscosity of CB grout materials and curdling time. Among variable factors, the viscosity of CB grout materials is influenced by the dispersion, and dispersion is improved as the speed of grout mixer increase. In this paper, the specification of construction was derived by estimating physical characteristics of CB grout materials and confirming the sate of dispersion. The results show that the engineering characteristics of CB grout materials vary with the water to cement ratio and the mixing speed.
