In this study, we tried to examine the possibility of developing a dental product such as tooth decay prevention and oral hygiene by manufacturing a natural polymer film for oral use. Natural polymer films were prepared from shark byproduct extract (SBE) and gellan gum (GG). As an antibacterial substance, the antibacterial activity of green tea extract against tooth decay-causing bacteria was measured. An film was prepared by adding green tea extract to the composition of SBE and GG. The mechanical, solubility, moisture content and antibacterial function of the prepared film were investigated in detail. Also, the incorporation of GTE into the SBE/GG film improved the physical performance of the film. Increasing the content of GTE improved the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the film. Formulation of antimicrobial SBE/GG film containing green tea extract was established and these results evidently showed potential for cavity prevention products application.

Due to numerous environmental concerns in recent years, the search for and the development of sustainable technologies have been pursued. In particular, environmentally friendly methods of soil improvement, such as the potential use of biopolymers, have been researched. Previous studies on the use of biopolymers in soil improvement have shown that they can provide substantial strengthening efficiencies. However, in order to fully understand the applicability of biopolymer treated soils, various properties of these soils such as their dynamic properties must be considered. In this study, the dynamic properties of gel-type biopolymer treated soils were observed through the use of resonant column tests. Gellan gum and Xanthan gums were the target gel-type biopolymers used in this study, and the target soil for this study was jumunjin sand, the standard sand of Korea. Through this study it was demonstrated that biopolymers can be used to enhance the dynamic properties of the soil, and that they offer possibilities of reuse to reduce earthquake related soil failures.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of a mixed gel formulation composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and gellan gum (Na-CMC gel) for the prevention of adhesions after laminectomy. The anti-adhesive effect of the Na-CMC gel was tested in a controlled randomized study using an animal model of lumbar laminectomy. The animals (60 female Sprague-Dawley rats) were randomly allocated into two treatment groups to receive the Na-CMC gel on the injured area or no gel (control). The incidence of adhesions and their grade were blindly evaluated at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. The amount of scar tissue and tenacity were grossly reduced by the Na-CMC gel at postoperative 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The mean adhesion scores were 0.75, 1.25, and 1.38 at 4, 8, and 12 weeks in the gel-treated group, respectively. No significant inflammatory reaction was observed and the healing of wound was not affected by the Na-CMC gel. The Na-CMC gel reduced the amount of scar formation and tenacity in rat laminectomy model without affecting the healing of operation wound and other complications. Therefore, the Na-CMC gel may be the potential to prevent postsurgical adhesions in clinical state.

호접란의 화경액아배양을 호르몬의 첨가없이 대량번식에 이용할 수 있도록 PLB 형성과 증식, 유식물분화를 위한 배지조성을 구명한 결과는 다음과 같다. PLB 형성을 위해서는 1.2X VW 배지에 사과추출물과 감자추출물, sucrose 1%, PVP 1.5g/l 또는 활성 탄소 2.5g/l, gellan gum 4g/l을 첨가하는 것이 가장 양호하였다. PLB 증식을 위해서는 sucrose 2%와 사과추출물과 감자추출물을 첨가한 VW에 cotton plate를 지지물로 사용한 것이 가장 양호하였다. 유식물의 재분화를 위해서는 Hyponex 3g/l에 사과와 감자추출물을 각각 3%, 바나나추출물은 4%를 혼용첨가한 배지가 가장 효과적이었다.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of low-temperature encapsulation on the viability of Weissella cibaria CMU under harsh conditions and in freeze-dried foods during storage. The capsules were prepared by gelation of sodium caseinate at different concentrations (5%, 6%, 7%, and 8%) with a combination of 0.5% gellan gum and 2% $glucono-{\delta}-lactone$. The size distribution of the capsules was determined using a Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the capsule with 6% sodium caseinate had a smooth and rounded external surface, with reproducibility. The acid, bile, and heat tolerances of the encapsulated cells were significantly higher than those of the control under prolonged acid (5 h), bile (12 and 24 h), and heat (2 h) exposure, respectively. During storage for up to 6 months at $4^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$, the viability of encapsulated Weissella cibaria CMU in beef and vegetable rice porridge was effectively improved.

The mechanical behaviours of biopolymer-treated soil depend on the formation of soil-biopolymer matrices. In this study, various biopolymers(e.g., xanthan gum (XG), locust bean gum (LBG), sodium alginate (SA), agar gum (AG), gellan gum (GE) and carrageenan kappa gum (KG) are selected to treat three types of natural soil at different concentrations (e.g., 1%, 2% and 3%) and curing time (e.g., 4-365 days), and reveal the reinforcement effect on natural soil by using unconfined compression tests. The results show that biopolymer-treated soil obtains the maximum unconfined compressive strength (UCS) at curing 14-28 days. Although the UCS of biopolymer-treated soil has a 20-30% reduction after curing 1-year compared to the maximum value, it is still significantly larger than untreated soil. In addition, the UCS increment ratio of biopolymer-treated soil decreases with the increase of biopolymer concentration, and there exists the optimum concentration of 1%, 2-3%, 2%, 1% and 2% for XG, SA, LBG, KG and AG, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimum initial moisture content can form uniformly biopolymer-soil matrices to obtain better reinforcement efficiency. Furthermore, the best performance in increasing soil strength is XG following SAand LBG, which are significantly better than AG, KG and GE.

Pseudomonas elodea 에 의한 Gellan gum생산시 이에 관련된 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 회분식 및 연속식 발효를 하였다. 회분식 배양의 결과로부터 비성장 속도는 $0.16hr^-^1$이었으며 72시간 배양후의 점도는 4500cp, 생성물 농도 0.7g dry weught/100g broth, 및 생산성은 0.08g dry weight/1/hr이었다. 연속식 배양을 통하여 최적 탄소원과 질소원의 농도비(3.0mg-carbon/mg-nitrogen)를 결정하였으며 Gellan gum의 최대 생성속도는 희석율 $0.14hr^-^1$에서 0.6g dry weight/l/hr이었다. 이러한 조건에서 각종 metabolic paeameter값을 계산하였다. 또한 배양액의 유변학적 특성은 Casson equation에 잘 부합됨을 확인하였고, 배양액의 점도와 산소전달계수를 측정하여 고점도 배양시 산소전달의 장애현상을 조사하였다.

겔화제의 종류에 따른 겔상식품의 특성을 알아보고자 대조군인 한천첨가 양갱과 다양한 겔화제를 혼합 사용한 양갱을 제조하고 그 특성을 비교하였다. 첨가되는 겔화제의 특성은 최종 제품의 수분손실량, 색, 조직감 등의 물리적 특성에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 덜 조밀하고 가장 불규칙적인 단면특성을 보이는 gellan 첨가 양갱은 수분 손실이 가장 크고, 가장 부드러우면서도 입에 들러붙는 부착성이 큰 특성을 보였다. 반면, LBG+carrageenan 겔의 혼합은 두 겔의 상호작용으로 단단한 겔을 만들기 때문에 이를 첨가한 양갱 역시 가장 단단한 경도를 보였다. 본 연구결과 고령자들은 너무 단단하지 않으면서도 응집성이 높고 탄력성이 있어 씹을 수 있는, 그러나 입에 들러붙는 부착성이 낮은 겔상 식품을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 두 종류의 겔을 혼합하여 적절한 농도로 겔을 제조하면 경도, 부착성, 및 응집성 등의 조직감 특성을 다양화 할 수 있으므로 적절한 겔화제의 선택, 농도조절 등으로 고령자의 저작능력에 맞는 다양한 물성을 갖는 식품제조가 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
