An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of bacteriophage supplementation on egg performance, egg quality, excreta microflora, and moisture content in laying hens. A total of 288 Hy-line brown commercial laying hens (36-wk-old) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments in this 6-wk trial and dietary treatments included: i) CON, basal diet; ii) T1, CON+0.020% bacteriophage; iii) T2, CON+0.035% bacteriophage; iv) T3, CON+0.050% bacteriophage. There were 6 replicates for each treatment with 6 adjacent cages (2 hens/cage). Laying hens in T2 and T3 treatments had higher (p<0.05) egg production than those in CON and T1 treatments during wk 0 to 3. In addition, egg production in T1, T2, and T3 treatments was increased (p<0.05) compared with that in CON treatment during wk 4 to 6. At wk 4 and 5, birds in T2 group had higher (p<0.05) HU than those in CON. In addition, at wk 5 and 6, HU in birds fed T1 and T3 diets was greater (p<0.05) than those fed CON diet. E. coli and Salmonella spp. concentrations in excreta were decreased (p<0.05) by T1, T2, and T3 treatments. However, egg weight, egg shell color, yolk height, yolk color unit, egg shell strength, egg shell thickness, egg gravity, and excreta moisture content were not influenced by dietary treatments during the entire experimental period. In conclusion, bacteriophage supplementation has beneficial effects on egg production, egg albumen, and excreta microflora concentration in laying hens.

PURPOSES : Infiltration of moisture, polluted material, and deicer into concrete, accompanied by freeze and thaw can cause significant deterioration of concrete pavement. In order to protect concrete from deterioration, it is necessary to prevent the infiltration of these concrete external materials. The moisture-repellent agent, which is a surface treatment and maintenance material added to concrete structures to render them water resistant, has advantages such as prevention of water infiltration and security against air permeation. Nano-coat, which is referred to as silicon hydride, is typically used as a moisture-repellent agent. Therefore, in this study, an attempt is made to use penetration-type Nano-coat as an alternative in order to evaluate its applicability through environmental resistance tests. METHODS : This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of penetration-type Nano-coat, which can provide water repellency to concrete, in concrete pavements, through various environmental resistance tests such as freezing and thawing resistance, chloride ion penetration resistance, and surface scaling resistance tests. The applicability of penetration-type Nano-coat was demonstrated based on the specification of KS F 2711, KS F 2456, and ASTM C 672. RESULTS :In the case of penetration-type Nano-coat applied on sound concrete, an increase in concrete durability was demonstrated by the negligible chloride ion penetrability and the absence of scaling, as revealed by visual observation of the surface, after 50 cycles of scaling resistance test. In addition, test result of the application of penetration-type Nano-coat on deteriorated concrete established that concrete surface pretreated by grinding provided improved durability than non-treated concrete. CONCLUSIONS :This study indicates that penetration-type Nano-coat is applicable as an effective alternative, to increase the durability of concrete structures. In addition, it was known that pretreatment of deteriorated concrete surface, such as grinding, is required to improve the long-term performance of concrete pavement.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pound cake made of flour substituted with $\beta$-glucan (3, 6 and $9\%$), which is a functional fuod material produced from Agrobacterium Spp. R259 KCTC 10197BP. A rapid decrease of moisture content during storage at $20^{\circ}C$, $70\%$ relative humidity, was observed in the control while the moisture content in 3 and $6\%$ $\beta$-glucan added pound cake was not decreased until the 12th day of storage. During storage, the hardness of the control cake was increased whereas that of $\beta$-glucan $6\%$ and $9\%$ added pound cake was not changed until the 6th day of storage. The addition of $\beta$-glucan was therefore conflmed to delay the staling of cake. During storage, the Hunter color L ud b values of the crust and crumb colors of the $\beta$-glucan added pound cake were not significantly different from those of the control, although the a value did increase with longer storage. The sensory results showed that the scores of over-all acceptability of the 3 and $6\%$ $\beta$-glucan added pound cake at the 6th day of storage days were higher than that of the control. These study results confirmed that the addition of $\beta$-glucan to pound cake maintained the moisture content and delayed hardness during storage.

This study was performed to examine the optimum addition amount of Hizikia fusiformis powder to be used with rice flour in the preparation of Hizikia fusiformis Sulgidduk (traditional rice cake). Hizikia fusiformis powder was added to rice powder at ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20% (w/w). The moisture content of Sulgidduk was increased with the addition of Hizikia fusiformis powder, whereas the pH content was decreased. The addition also lowered the lightness and yellowness values but increased the greenness value. Mineral contents were increased. Hardness, springiness, and brittleness were decreased, and cohesiveness was increased as the added powder content also increased. In the sensory evaluation of Hizikia fusiformis Sulgidduk, color, flavor, taste, softness, chewiness, moistness, cohesiveness, and overall acceptability characteristics were all highest at the 10% addition level. Thus it can be proposed that this is the ideal level of Hizikia fusiformis addition in terms of the sensory properties of the cooked product.

Pine mushroom is excellent for its unique smell, nutrients and functional factors. The quality characteristics of Demi-glace sauce made from pine mushrooms that have not been used despite their value as good ingredients and mushrooms that have been added to various kinds of sauce were examined by differing pine mushroom and mushroom powder in stock. The more pine mushroom and mushroom powder was added, the content of minerals increased; however, the content of moisture decreased. Overall, viscosity was increased. The content of each mineral varied in proportion to pine mushroom and mushroom powder contents level. Sensory evaluation of pine mushroom added to demi-glace sauce showed difference in sweetness, savory taste overall. 0.2% addition of sweetness, 0.3% addition of savory taste, 0.2% and 0.3% addition of overall acceptability appeared as the best estimation. Specially, 0.2% addition was the highest in salty taste and color. As the two mushroom powder contents was increased, tastes of demi-glace sauce were not increased; rather, the appropriate amount of addition existed.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition of Taraxacum coreamm powder (TCP) (1%, 3%, 5%, 7%) on the quality of pound cake. The specific gravity of the pound cake increased, but the pH of the pound cake significantly decreased with the addition of Taraxacum coreamm powder. The weight of the pound cake slightly increased, whereas the volume and specific loaf volume decreased with the addition of TCP. The texture analysis showed that hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were higher with the addition of TCP than in the control group. The L and a value of the pound cake decreased, whereas the b value increased with the addition of TCP. The moisture content and the DPPH radical scavenging activities of the pound cake increased as percentages of TCP significantly increased.

This study has been performed to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of compaction, volume change and compressive strength for reinforced soil mixed with polypropylene fiber, and to confirm the reinforcing effects with admixture such as polypropylene fiber. To this end, a series of compaction test and compression test was conducted for clayey soil(CL) and polypropylene fiber reinforced soil. In order to determine proper moisture contents and mixing ratio, pilot test was carried out for natural soil and PFRS(polypropylene fiber reinforced soil). And the mixing ratio of mono-filament fiber and fibrillated polypropylene fiber admixture was 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% by the weight of dry soil. From the experimental results, it was found that the optimum moisture contents(OMC) increased with the mixing ratio of fiber, but the maximum dry unit weight and the volume change was decreased with the mixing ratio. It means that the improvement of the workability and the reduction of the weight of embankment was done by the addition of the polypropylene fiber. And, from the compression test results, it was found that the addition of the polypropylene fiber remarkably improved the compressive strength of PFRS. And it was observed in the viewpoint of strength that the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced soil was more effective than the mono-filament polypropylene fiber reinforced soil.

Physicochemical qualities and consumer acceptability of chocolate layer cake were studied with varied levels of rosemary powder at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%. The ash content of the cake increased from 2.30 to 3.10%, as the amount of rosemary powder increased from 0 to 0.6%, and the carbohydrate content of the cake decreased as the addition of rosemary powder increased. There were no significant differences in moisture contents and pH values among the samples and the pH values of all samples were within the typical pH range of 7.5-8.0 for chocolate layer cakes. Water loss from the control cake was greater than that from the cakes with rosemary powder supporting the suggestion that the addition of rosemary powder to the chocolate layer cake could increase moisture retention of the cake. Consumer acceptability of all the samples showed higher preferences of more than 7 points. Rosemary aroma, mint flavor and after taste were highly positively correlated with the fat content. Fat and ash content of the cake, which tended to increase in proportion to the rosemary powder content, were negatively correlated with acceptance of herb flavor, sweet taste, moistness, softness and intensity of softness but positively correlated with intensity of herb flavor. With the results above, trials on chocolate layer cake using rosemary powder were successfully performed within the ranges tested.

Various Bam-dduk were prepared by using two kinds of chestnut flour (dried chestnut, boiled chestnut), 2 types of sugar (sugar and honey), and 3 levels of sugar (10, 20, 30 g), and they were evaluated for sensory quality, texture, moisture, and color. The addition of 10∼15% of dried chestnut flour to glutinous rice flour increased the graininess, moistness, chewiness, and sweetness of Bam-dduk, and the addition of 30∼40% boiled chestnut flour increased the graininess, moistness, and sweetness, depending up on the types and levels of sugar. The use of 10% dried chestnut flour and 30 $m\ell$ of honey gave the highest value of springiness in Bam-dduk. Gumminess, hardness and chewiness were the highest with 15％ dried chestnut flour and 20 g sugar. Cohesiveness was the strongest at 30% boiled chestnut flour and 10 $m\ell$ honey. Adhesiveness was most proper when 30 g sugar was added to 10％ dried chestnut flour. The use of boiled chestnut flour gave higher moisture content in Bam-dduk (32.2∼41.3%) than the use of dried chestnut flour (29.6∼34.2%). The values of 'L' (67.43) and 'b' (18.07) were most intensive in Bam-ddfik prepared with 15% dried chestnut and 20 g sugar, and the replacement of 20 g sugar with 30 $m\ell$ of honey gave the highest 'a' value, 2.33.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of the Seolgiddeok samples prepared with various amounts(0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0%) of Paecilomyces japonica powder by examining proximate compositions, color, texture and sensory quality. The composition of the Paecilomyces japonica powder was measured as follows: moisture(7.40%), crude protein(55.77%), crude lipid(7.1l%), and crude ash(5.39%). With increasing Paecilomyces japonica powder content, the moisture and crude protein content of the Seolgiddeok increased; however crude fat and ash contents decreased. In terms of color, the lightness of the Seolgiddeok decreased and yellowness and redness increased with increasing amounts of Paecilomyces japonica powder. Among textural characteristices hardness, cohesiveness, and gumminess were decreased, but springiness increased according to the addition level of Paecilomyces japonica powder. For the sensory evaluation, the overall quality of the SP-l.0% group was not significantly different than the control group(SP group). In conclusion, the optimal addition amount of Paecilomyces japonica powder for Seolgiddeok is proposed as 1% of total weight.
