Freeze dried crude bacteriocin was encapsulated within an acid-soluble coating material, Eudragit EPO, using a surface modification technique through a hybridization system. The pH and titratable acidity of control yoghurt were 3.92 and 1.56%, respectively, after 24 hr of fermentation at $42^{\circ}C$, whereas yoghurt containing 500 AU/mL encapsulated bacteriocin exhibited a higher pH (4.37) and lower titratable acidity (1.2%). Yoghurt containing encapsulated bacteriocin had significantly lower titratable acidity when the duration of fermentation (to pH 4.5) and subsequent refrigerated storage ($4^{\circ}C$) was longer than 20 days. There were no significant differences in the viability of lactic acid bacteria after 15 hr of fermentation. This suggests that microencapsulated bacteriocin has the potential to control the excessive growth of yoghurt starters caused by temperature abuse or post-acidification.

본 연구는 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 요구르트에 오염된 효모의 증식을 억제해서 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 진행하였다. 효모 투입 후 저장기간 동안 효모의 증식 속도는 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 포함된 실험구가 대조구에 비해 최소 1일에서 최대 4일까지 지연시켰다. 스웰링 현상은 대조구에 비해 실험구가 효모의 증식 속도를 일정 기간 지연시켜 주는 효과가 있었다. 따라서 요구르트 제조 시 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus를 사용한다면, 저장기간 동안의 품질 안정성이 향상되어 유통기한을 연장할 수 있고, 이로 인해 발효유 제조업체의 생산성과 소비자의 식품 안전성이 향상되는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 요구르트의 품질 기준인 후산 발효와 관능에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 요구르트 제조 후 $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장할 경우 대조구에 비해 실험구의 산도 변화 폭은 미미하여 후산 발효가 거의 일어나지 않았다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 제조일로부터 유통기한 만료일까지 일정하게 관능적 풍미를 유지시켜 줄 수 있다는 것을 의미하며, 이로 인해 소비자에 대한 관능적 품질향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 그리고 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 추가된 실험구는 대조구에 비해 조직감이 상대적으로 좋았으며, 풍미나 맛 또한 우수하였다. 즉, 요구르트에 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus의 사용은 효모의 증식 억제를 통해 제품 품질의 안전성 향상, 후산 발효 억제로 인한 품질의 균일성 증대, 조직감 및 풍미 향상으로 인한 관능적 품질 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것으로 판단된다.

Erythropoietic activity in anemic Plasma of chronic posthemorrhagic anemic men was studied in rats after subcutaneous injection of anemic plasma. Anemic plasma was obtained from blood donors who sold their blood once or twice a week for one or two years to blood bank. Hemoglobin concentrations of 8 blood donors ranged between 4.6 and 8.4 gm/100 ml. Pooled plasma was treated by acidification-boiling method and adjusted to pH 7.5 by adding 0.1 N NaOH. 7ml/kg and 15ml/kg of anemic plasma filtrate was injected to 2 groups of rats respectively for 7 and 8 days. Hemoglobin concentrations, red blood cell counts and reticulocyte counts were observed before and after injection of anemic plasma and no change was induced by the injection. Subsequently, it was concluded that there was no erythropoietin of high titer in the plasma of chronic post-hemorrhagic anemic men.

Though geologic storage of $CO_2$ (GS) is considered as an attractive technological option to enormously reduce greenhouse gases emission into the atmosphere, many concerns on potential environmental and health risks associated with $CO_2$ leakage have been raised. In particular, groundwater contamination due to the brine displacement by a pressure build-up and the acidification by leaked $CO_2$ is paid a special attention. Therefore, integrated regulatory frameworks have been established by law in many countries to secure the permanent containment of injected $CO_2$. Regulatory frameworks deal with entire processes of GS, including site selection, monitoring and post-closure environmental management. This review paper provides a summary of regulatory frameworks in USA (U.S. EPA Geologic Sequestration Rule) and EU (Geologic $CO_2$ Sequestration Directive). The regulatory framework to properly address environmental issues should be established for the deployment of CCS projects in Korea.

Friar Turk 폐탄광은 미국중서부의 가장복잡하게 교란된 광산 중의 하나이다. 버럭 및 광미 속에는 고농도의 황철석이 함유되어 있고, 황철석의 산화작용에 의해 토양 및 물이 산성화되고 식물의 성장이 제한되고 있다. 복구기술들에 대한 효과를 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 노력으로, 상세한 관측프로그램이 수행되었다. 물 시료들은 지표수, 지하수 및 불포화대의 간극수에서 5년간에 걸쳐 채취되었다. 그 결과에 의하면, spoil은 미약한 물 오염원이고, 버럭 더미는 지표수 및 지하수를 심각하게 오염시키는 원천이다. 그러나 버럭 더미 하부에 분포하는 loess 및 till은 오염된 물이 이동하는 것을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 버럭 더미 및 광미 표면층들은 수십 년간에 걸쳐 풍화된 결과로 층 내부보다는 독성이 약하였다. 산성광산폐수의 생성은 정점에 달한 상태이며 잠재적인 산성층은 아마도 광산폐기물의 불포화대에 분포하는 것으로 사료된다.

Addition of probiotics to yogurt with desired health benefits is gaining increasing attention. To further understand the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum on the quality and function of fermented milk, probiotic fermented milk (PFM) made with probiotic L. plantarum K25 and yogurt starter (L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) was compared with the control fermented milk (FM) made with only the yogurt starter. The probiotic strain was shown to survive well with a viable count of 7.1 ± 0.1 log CFU/g in the PFM sample after 21 days of storage at 4℃. The strain was shown to promote formation of volatiles such as acetoin and 2,3-butanediol with milk fragrance, and it did not cause post-acidification during refrigerated storage. Metabolomics analysis by GC-MS datasets coupled with multivariate statistical analysis showed that addition of L. plantarum K25 increased formation of over 20 metabolites detected in fermented milk, among which γ-aminobutyric acid was the most prominent. Together with several other metabolites with relatively high levels in fermented milk such as glyceric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, glycine, alanine, ribose, and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, they might play important roles in the probiotic function of L. plantarum K25. Further assay of the bioactivity of the PFM sample showed significant (p < 0.05) increase of ACE inhibitory activity from 22.3% at day 1 to 49.3% at day 21 of the refrigerated storage. Therefore, probiotic L. plantarum K25 could be explored for potential application in functional dairy products.

Background: This study was conducted to examine the quality and storage characteristics of yogurt containing antifungal-active lactic acid bacteria (ALH, Lacobacillus sakei ALI033) isolated from kimchi and cinnamon ethanol extract. The starter was used for culture inoculation (1.0 % commercial starter culture YF-L812 and ALH). Results: The antifungal activity of cinnamon extracts was observed in treatments with either cinnamon ethanol extracts or cinnamon methanol extracts. Changes in fermented milk made with ALH and cinnamon extract during fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ were as follows. The pH was 4.6 after only 6 h of fermentation. Titratable acidity values were maintained at 0.8 % in all treatment groups. Viable cell counts were maintained at $4{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ in all groups except for 1.00 % cinnamon treatment. Sensory evaluations of fermented milk sample made with ALH and 0.05 % cinnamon ethanol extract were the highest. Changes in fermented milk made with ALH and cinnamon ethanol extract during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 28 days were as follows. In fermented milk containing ALH and cinnamon ethanol extracts, the changes in pH and titratable acidity were moderate and smaller compared with those of the control. Viable cell counts were maintained within a proper range of $10^8CFU/mL$. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the overgrowth of fermentation strains or post acidification during storage can be effectively delayed, thereby maintaining the storage quality of yogurt products in a stable way, using cinnamon ethanol extract, which exhibits excellent antifungal and antibacterial activity, in combination with lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

Objective: Present study explores the effect of hot summer period on the glycolytic rate of early post-mortem meat quality of Ghungroo and Large White Yorkshire (LWY) pig and comparative adaptability to high temperature between above breeds by shifting the expression of stress related genes like mono-carboxylate transporters (MCTs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs). Methods: Healthy pigs of two different breeds, viz., LYW and Ghungroo (20 from each) were maintained during hot summer period (May to June) with a mean temperature of about $38^{\circ}C$. The pigs were slaughtered and meat samples from the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscles were analyzed for pH, glycogen and lactate content and mRNA expression. Following 24 h of chilling, LD muscle was also taken from the carcasses to evaluate protein solubility and different meat quality measurements. Results: LWY exhibited significantly (p<0.01) higher plasma cortisol and lactate dehydrogenase concentration than Ghungroo indicating their higher sensitivity to high temperature. LD muscle from LWY pigs revealed lower initial and ultimate pH values and higher drip loss compared to Ghungroo, indicating a faster rate of pH fall. LD muscle of Ghungroo had significantly lower lactate content at 45 min postmortem indicating normal postmortem glycolysis and much slower glycolytic rate at early postmortem. LD muscle of LWY showed rapid postmortem glycolysis, higher drip loss and higher degrees of protein denaturation. Ghungroo exhibited slightly better water holding capacity, lower cooking loss and higher protein solubility. All HSPs (HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90) and MCTs (MCT1, MCT2, and MCT4) in the LD muscle of pigs inclined to increase more in Ghungroo than LWY when exposed to high temperature. Conclusion: Effect of high temperature on the variation of HSPs and MCTs may play a crucial role in thermal tolerance and adaptation to different climatic conditions, pH regulation, muscle acidification, drip loss, protein denaturation and also in postmortem meat quality development.
