Edible biopolymer films were developed from hijiki ($Hizikia$ $fusiforme$), using a high-pressure homogenization (HPH). Effects of pressure and pass number of HPH on color, tensile, moisture barrier properties, flavor profiles, and microstructure of hijiki films were investigated. A hydrocolloid of hijiki was processed by HPH at 69, 103, or 152 MPa with 1, 2, or 3 passes. A hijiki-base film was formed by drying a film-forming solution which was prepared by mixing of the HPH-processed suspension with glycerol and Polysorbate 20. Tensile strength and elastic modulus increased with increasing HPH pressure. Uniformity of the films increased as the pressure of HPH with 1 pass increased and the number of pass increased at 152 MPa. Water vapor permeability ($2.1-3.3g{\cdot}mm/kPa{\cdot}h{\cdot}m^2$) and water solubility (0.4-1.0%), which are relatively low compared to those of many other edible films, show the potential that hijiki-base films are applied to the range of low to intermediate moisture food as wrapping or coating.

흑연 박리를 통해 형성된 탄소나노플레이트를 탄소나노튜브 합성을 위한 지지체로 적용하여 탄소나노플레이트 위에 직접 탄소나노튜브를 합성함으로써 3차원 구조의 탄소나노튜브/탄소나노플레이트 나노혼성체를 합성하였음. 흑연의 박리를 통해 탄소나노플레이트를 제조하기 위해서 층간화합물 삽입과 열처리를 통해 팽창흑연을 제조하고, 물리적 분쇄 과정과 액상 고압균질기 방법을 통해 두께 30nm 이하, 수 마이크론 크기의 탄소나노플레이트를 제조하고 동결건조 방법으로 탄소나노플레이트를 제조하였음. 제조된 탄소나노플레이트 상에 탄소나노튜브 합성을 위해서 탄소나노플레이트 표면처리 공정을 적용하였는데, 표면처리 방법 및 물질에 따라 금속 촉매의 담지량 및 담지 형상이 결정되어 합성되어지는 탄소나노튜브의 합성 수율과 합성된 탄소나노튜브의 형성이 다르게 나타났다. 표면처리 방법으로는 산처리방법, 흡착성 고분자 처리법, 무전해 도금법, 무기산화물 처리법이 적용되었다. 또한 담지되는 촉매 종류 및 함량, 조촉매 적용에 따라 탄소나노튜브 합성 거동을 분석하여 최적 촉매시스템을 구축하여 촉매담지체 질량 대비 700% 이상의 고수율의 탄소나노튜브/탄소나노플레이트 혼성체 합성법을 개발하였다.

To establishment of PT Program for Indoor air quality field that manufacture of confidential development PTMs (proficiency testing materials) and examined of proficiency testing evaluation included sampling process whether or not that is valid. Confirmation of homogeneity and stability of PTMs prepared. PTMs were confirmed to be homogeneous enough to be used as proficiency testing materials since withinbottle homogeneities of the RMs were lower than 0.3 times of targeted standard deviation of proficiency testing. The result of this study showed that the Robust RSD of proficiency testing for VOCs (volatile organic compounds) appeared 23~43% in concentration of 50~320 ${\mu}g/m^3$ for Method A(Distribution by adsorption in Tenax-tube of VOCs), but less 13~42% in concentration of 200~1200 ${\mu}g/m^3$, 16~31% in concentration of 100~450 ${\mu}g/m^3$ for Method B (distribution by VOCs of gas phase in 10L Tedalr bag), C (directly sampling of cylinder with high pressure) respectively. The result of this study showed that method C with sampling is most adequate to the proficiency testing for VOCs in indoor air.

Oil in water nanoemulsion of astaxanthin was prepared by high pressure homogenization. The emulsifying conditions including emulsifier type, concentration and astaxanthin concentration were optimized. Stability of nanoemulsion was measured using zetasizer, freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM), particle analyzer and colorimeter. The mean diameter of the dispersed particles containing astaxanthin ranged from 160 to 190 nm. Size distribution was unimodal and extended from 40 to 200 nm. The nanoemulsion prepared by glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate had smaller particle size and narrow size distribution. Stable incorporation of astaxanthin in nanoemulsion was performed and checked using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM). Physical stability of nanoemulsion was not significantly changed during storage at both light and thermal condition for a month with zeta potential value of -41 mV meaning stable colloid.

Because of the global pollution caused by plastic disposal, demand for eco-friendly transformation in the packaging industry is increased. As part of that, the utilization of polylactic acid (PLA) as a food packaging material is increased. However, it is necessary to improve the crystallinity of PLA by adding nucleating agents or to improve the modulus by adding fillers because of the excessive brittleness of the PLA matrix. Thus, the cellulose nanofiber (CNF) was fabricated and dried to obtain a powder form and applied to the CNF/PLA nanocomposite. The effect of CNF on the morphological, thermal, rheological, and dynamic mechanical properties of the composite was analyzed. We can confirm the impregnated CNF particle in the PLA matrix through the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that the crystallinity of not annealed CNF/PLA nanocomposite was increased approximately 2 and 4 times in the 1st and 2nd cycle, respectively, with the shift to lower temperature of cold crystallization temperature (T_cc) in the 2nd cycle. Moreover, the crystallinity of annealed CNF/PLA nanocomposite increased by 13.4%, and shifted T_cc was confirmed.

In this study, methyl esters with different saturated fatty acids (SFA) were prepared by urea fractionation to make an oil-in-water emulsion. Emulsion characteristics (emulsion stability and oxidative stability) of the methyl ester emulsion were then studied at different percentages of methyl ester saturation (5, 28, 39, 50, and 72%, termed ${\Sigma}$SFA5, ${\Sigma}$SFA28, ${\Sigma}$SFA39, ${\Sigma}$SFA50, and ${\Sigma}$SFA72, respectively). The stability of emulsions (ES) with different SFA content was 46.0 (${\Sigma}$SFA5), 39.5 (${\Sigma}$SFA28), 32.7 (${\Sigma}$SFA39), 32.6 (${\Sigma}$SFA50), and 27.3 (${\Sigma}$SFA72). Results from Turbiscan showed that creaming or clarification, based on the backscattering intensity, was more pronounced with increases in the saturation degree of the emulsion. These results implied that the emulsions with lower saturation were more stable. During 30 days of storage, the lipid peroxide value increased for all emulsions, with the increase less pronounced with the increasing saturation of the emulsion; 1.880 (${\Sigma}$ SFA5), 1.267 (${\Sigma}$SFA28), 1.062 (${\Sigma}$SFA39), 0.342 (${\Sigma}$SFA50) and 0.153 (${\Sigma}$SFA72) mg $H_2O_2/mL$ emulsion. In addition, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values were significantly lower in emulsions with high saturation (4.419 mg for ${\Sigma}$SFA50 and 4.226 mg for ${\Sigma}$SFA72) than emulsions with low saturation (6.229 mg for ${\Sigma}$SFA5, 6.801 mg for ${\Sigma}$SFA28 and 6.246 mg for ${\Sigma}$SFA39). In conclusion, the emulsions with a higher saturation degree of methyl esters showed lower emulsion stability but better oxidation stability.

Effect of polyphenols-rich cacao extract (CE) on lipid hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase was investigated by pH-stat digestion. Two types of substrate (oil vs. emulsion) prepared from soybean oil and CE were studied as types I and II. In the case of type I, addition of CE did not show retardation of lipid hydrolysis, showing that pancreatic lipase was not inhibited. Final digestibility rate (${\Phi}$ max, %) and initial rate (mM/s) of the 24-h aged control (52.31%, 0.03 mM/s) were similar to those of the CE-added sample (58.88%, 0.03 mM/s). However, in the case of typeII, the hydrolysis rates of the control and CE-added emulsion showed distinct differences as aging time increased to 43 days, showing lower digestion in the CE-added emulsion than the control. After 43 days, ${\Phi}$ max values of the control and CE-added emulsion were 92.13% and 77.68%, respectively.
