  • 21세기는 과학기술의 비약적인 발전으로 정보통신기술, 환경기술, 나노기술 그리고 생명과학에 의한 바이오기술이 고부가가치 지식산업으로서 국가경쟁력 강회를 위한 국가전략 핵심산업으로 대두되고 있습니다. 특히 바이오기술의 응용산업인 건강기능식품은 국민의 질병예방과 건강증진을 통한 삶의 질 향상에 이바지하고, 21세기 미래 고부가가치산업으로 발전할 것으로 기대하고 있습니다. 이러한 시기에 국민보건과 건강기능식품산업의 발전을 위한 건강기능식품에 관한 법률(건강기능식품법) 이 의원입법으로 국회에 상정되어 1년 이상의 검토를 거쳐 지난 7월 31일에 국회 본회의를 통과하였습니다. 그후 8월 26일자로 이 법을 정부에서 공포하였으며 내년 8월 26일부터는 발효할 예정입니다. 그러나, 건강기능식품법의 제정은 건강기능식품관련 제도의 완성이 아니라 시작입니다. 즉, 건강기능식품법의 기초는 마련하였지만, 그 하위법인 시행령, 시행규칙, 고시등이 제대로 된 모습을 갖추어야 비로소 국민이 만족하고, 산학연의 동반 발전을 이룰 수 있는 이 분야의 산업발전을 기할 수 있습니다. 그리고, 건강기능식품담당 정부부처인 식품의약품안전청은 현실적으로 그 하위법을 금년 말(2002년)이나 내년 초(2003년)에 준비한 후 입법 예고하여야하는 시간적 제약을 안고 있습니다. 이러한 연유로 단기간 내에 하위법을 준비하다 보면 자칫 애초에 정부와 산학연이 바라던 바와는 다른 엉뚱한결과를 초래할 우려가 있는 만큼, 법 제도의 명확한 방향설정이 매우 중요합니다. 그래서, 한국식품과학회 건강기능식품분과위원회는 이 문제의 중요성을 깊이 인식하고 산학연 전문가그룹(식품과학자, 영양과학자, 학계, 연구계, 기업계: 16인)을 구성하였습니다. 전문가그룹은 지난 7 - 8월, 2달 동안에 수 차례 회의를 통하여, 건강기능식품법 하위법 준비 중 핵심사항은 건강기능식품의 기능성 표시와 평가 라는 점에 착안하고, 이에 대하여 중점적으로 검토하였습니다. 그 이외에도 섭취량 설정 , 심사자료의 인증요건 , 기능성분의 표시 등에 대하여도 부수적으로 검토하였습니다. 그 결과, 동물실험을 이용한 기능성평가 방향 (이미 본지의 전호에서 게재한 바 있어생략)을 제외한 주요사항을 다음의 별도 기사로 각각 소개합니다. 또한, 이 내용은 지난 9월 13일, COEX에서 제1회 건강기능식품 전시회 및 학술세미나 행사의 일환으로서 개최된 학술세미나에서 발표하고 토론회를 거쳤습니다. 또한, 지난 10월 26일, 무주리조트에서 식품과학회 추계학술대회 행사의 일환으로 개최된 건강기능식품분과위원회의 토론회에서도 좋은 의견을 교환한 바 있습니다. 두 차례의 토론회를 통하여 건강기능식품분과위원회가 제안한 초안이 대체적으로 매우 바람직한 것으로 평가받았으며 많은 동의를 얻었습니다. 이어서 토론회의 내용을 반영한 식품과학회의 안을 최종적으로 준비하고 이를 11월초에 식품의약품안전청에게 정책 건의하였습니다. 다음의 별도기사에 덧붙여서, 토론회를 통하여 수정(또는 강조)하고자 하는 부분은 아래와 같습니다. 1) 동물실험 등에서 흡수, 대사 등으로 표기한 서술 용어는 흡수, 분포, 대사, 배설 로 대체합니다. 2) 기능성 평가방법의 표준화와 관련하여 분과위원회에서 제시한 안은 평가방법은 심의위원회가 사안에 따라 기능성 평가시에 그 평가방법의 적합성을 검토함이 바람직하다 라고 하였습니다. 그러나, 이를 부분적으로는 평가방법을 표준화할 필요가있다 로 수정하고자 합니다. 즉, 평가방법이 전혀 제시되지 않으면 막막함으로, 기본적인 방법이면서 여러사람들이 참고로 할만한 방법에 대하여는 표준화를 병행함이 더욱 좋겠다고 생각합니다. 또한, 표준방법으로 제시된 것만이 유일한 방법은 아니므로 다른 방법으로 평가하는 것도 가능함으로 제시합니다. 3) (가칭)건강기능식품 인체시험 관리지침과 관련하여 이는 식약청장이 정할 사안이지만, 그것은 국내 의약품 임상시험 관리지침 과는 뚜렷이 차별화되는 것으로 실제로는 의사의 도움없이도 인체시험을 시행할 수 있음을 명확히 할 필요가 있습니다.

  • In this study, we compared the microbial reduction effects of drying, hot water, and microwave sterilization in scourers and dishcloths to suggest a most suitable sterilization method. Three scourer types (silver, copper, and mesh) were used, and three dishcloth types (silver, bamboo, and cotton) were used. Drying time dependent reduction in Escherichia coli was high in silver and copper scourers, but minimal bacterial reduction was obtained against Bacillus cereus in all scourers and dishcloths. In scourers, E. coli was not detected after ≥30 s of hot water sterilization at 77℃, and B. cereus was not detected after ≥60 s of hot water sterilization at 100℃. In dishcloths, E. coli was not detected after hot water sterilization at 77℃ for ≥30 s, but B. cereus was detected after hot water sterilization at 100℃ for ≥60 s. In scourers, E. coli was not detected after microwave sterilization at 700 W for 3 min, but B. cereus was detected. In dishcloths, E. coli was not detected after microwave sterilization with 700 W for ≥1 min, but B. cereus was detected in the cotton dishcloth even after sterilization for 3 min. In conclusion, the use of antimicrobial scourers (silver and copper) and dishcloths (silver and bamboo) are not sufficient to reduce the microbial contamination. The guideline provided by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety suggesting dishcloth sterilization via hot water at 100℃ for 30 s was also found to be insufficient. Based on our research, we suggest that the most effective methods of microbial management are submerging scourers in hot water at 100℃ for ≥1 min, and sterilizing dishcloths for ≥3 min using a 700 W microwave.

  • Management of gas safety is becoming important with increasing use of gas facilities. U-safety system is being promoted as part of national management of gas, and thus real-time and in-situ gas sensor should be developed. Detection method for When the gas sensor is installed in gas conduit, explosion may be likely, because hydrocarbon gases is usually used the difference of thermal resistance between reference and working electrode. Therefore, it is required to detect the hydrocarbons, such as $CH_4$ and CO, at room temperature via electrochemically catalytic reaction. In this study, Pt nanoparticle was doped on the porous gold powder by electrolytic plating method, and then it was used as catalytic electrode for CO oxidation. For Pt/PAu electrode, approximately 21% of CO conversion was obtained. It is noted that Pt/PAu electrode could be used to react the oxidation of hydrocarbon gases at room temperature via applying of external voltage.

  • Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be released to humans and the environment through the generation of waste containing engineered nanomaterials (WCNMs) and the use and disposal of nano-products. Nanoparticles can also be introduced intentionally or unintentionally into waste streams. This study examined WCNMs in domestic industries, and target nanomaterials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were selected. We tested 48 samples, such as dust, sludge, ash, and by-products from manufacturing facilities and waste treatment facilities. We analyzed leaching and content concentrations for heavy metals and hazardous constituents of the waste. Chemical compositions were also measured by XRD and XRF, and the unique properties of nano-waste were identified by using a particle size distribution analyzer and TEM. The dust and sludge generated from manufacturing facilities and the use of nanomaterials showed higher concentrations of metals such as lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and zinc. Oiled cloths from facilities using nano silver revealed high concentrations of copper, and the leaching concentrations of copper and lead in fly ash were higher than those in bottom ash. In XRF measurements at the facilities, we detected compounds such as silicon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. We found several chemicals such as calcium oxide and silicon dioxide in the bottom ash of waste incinerators.

  • Due to the recent demand for low-calorie foods, consumers are looking for alternative sweeteners that can control blood sugar, low risk of tooth decay and low calories. Regulations for permitted sweeteners in food vary from every country, and it is important for the government and the food industry to monitor products containing these sweeteners to ensure global compliance. Therefore, rapid, precise, and accurate analysis for food matrices should be applied to quality control, market surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation of food additive intake in the food industry. To analyze sweeteners simultaneously, it is essential to develop an efficient and rapid analytical method and to perform appropriate pretreatment steps such as solvent extraction and purification. This study presented the recent analysis trends about the suitable extraction method for food matrices focusing on non-nutritive sweeteners. Additionally, techniques for multi-compounds analysis using HPLC and LC-MS/MS and non-destructive analysis techniques using FT-IR were comprehensively described.

  • As awareness of environmental issues continues to grow, there is an escalating demand for recycling and repurposing byproducts of agricultural and food production processes and their conversion to high-value products. Coffee is the most widely consumed beverage globally; during coffee beverage processing and consumption, byproducts such as coffee silverskin (CS), spent coffee grounds (SCGs), and oil are generated. Despite containing beneficial materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, lipids, and bioactive substances, these byproducts are typically discarded in landfills or incinerated. The utilization of CS, SCGs, and oil in the development of packaging materials holds significant potentials toward the realization of a sustainable society. To this end, considerable research efforts have been dedicated to the development of high-value materials derived from coffee byproducts, including functional fillers, polymer composites, and biodegradable polymers. Notably, CS and SCGs have been employed as functional fillers in polymer composites. Additionally, lipids extracted from SCGs have been used as plasticizers for polymers and cultured with microorganisms to produce biodegradable polymers. This review focuses on the research and development of polymer/CS and polymer/SCG composites as well as cellulose extraction and utilization from CS and SCGs and its applications, oil extraction from SCGs, and cultivation with microorganisms using extracted oil for polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHA) production.
