For the effect of water-soluble degraded chitosan on the shelf-life of tofu, sterilized distilled water, 0.5% degraded chitosan, 0.5% fumaric acid and 0.5% lactic acid used as an tofu-immersion solutions were investigated by microbial counts, pH, and turbidity during the periods of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. After 2 weeks storage, total aerobic microbial counts in tap water and sterilized distilled water used as an immersion solution were $3.8\;{\times}\;10^8$ and $1.8\;{\times}\;10^8\;CFU/mL$, respectively. In 0.5% fumaric acid and 0.5% lactic acid immersion solutions, the microbial counts were around $10^7\;CFU/mL$ after 2 weeks while the microbial population in 0.5% water-soluble degraded chitosan were, however, $1.6\;{\times}\;10^5\;CFU/mL$ after 2 weeks and $1.7{\times}10^7\;CFU/mL$ after 3 weeks. The lag phase of initial contaminated microbes in 0.5% degraded chitosan solution was longer than those of other treatments. The addition of 0.5% fumaric acid and 0.5% lactic acid decreased the initial pH to pH 5.0, while those of tap water, sterilized distilled water and 0.5% degraded chitosan stabilized the immersion solution at around pH 7.2. All initial pH values were decreased during storage and then slowly increased as storage time was increased. The turbidities in all treatments were increased during storage, but the addition of 0.5% degraded chitosan showed the lowest change, compared to other treatments, showing that the water-soluble degraded chitosan has a good antimicrobial effect and has a potential use to extend the shelf-life of tofu product.

Nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL) are the continuous source for soil and groundwater contamination. The first objective of the study was to verify the effect of co-injection of cosolvent and air on NAPL removal from soil-column system. The second objective of the study was to investigate the effect of alcohol-partitioning property on the NAPL removal by the co-injection process of cosolvent and air. Enhanced removal of benzene-NAPL by the co-injection process of ethanol and air was also verified within the soilcolumn system. However, the co-injection process of Tert-butanol (TBA) and air showed no enhancement of benzene-NAPL removal. This study found that the viscous pressure of TBA was so higher than the capillary pressure and TBA easily displaced the benzene-NAPL and air present in soil pores. Air of the coinjection process did not work for NAPL removal but hindered NAPL mobilization. NAPL partitioning property and viscous pressure of cosovlent should be considered for application of the co-injection process of cosolvent and air.

In order to evaluate the physicochemical properties of sludge compost and to identify the effects water-extracts from sludge compost in 2, 6, 8, 12 weeks of decomposing process on seed germination and root elongation in cabbage, lettuce, soybean and barley plants was investigated. The content of total nitrogen in sludge compost increased slightly in 6 weeks decomposing process, and then decreased gradually. Organic matter content decreased continuously overall decomposing process. As decomposition was processing, pH of sludge compost decreased slightly, and EC increase within 6 weeks decomposing process, and then decreased. The content of nitrogen in water-extracts from sludge compost increased within 8 weeks decomposing process and decreased in 12 weeks decomposing process. The content of ammonium nitrogen was similar with that of total nitrogen, and the ratio of ammonium and nitrate increased within 8 weeks, and then decreased. Cation content and EC decreased the late of decomposing process and pH didn't change. The water-extracts from sludge compost during decomposing process inhibited seed germination and root elongation in cabbage (Brassica campestris), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare) and soybean (Glycine max). The inhibition of root elongation in cabbage was greater than that of relative seed germination, whereas relative seed germination in lettuce was more inhibit than root elongation. Relative seed germination and root elongation in soybean were inhibited slightly, but those of in barley was inhibited strongly. In this study, we would identify the effects of water-extracts from sludge compost on seed germination and root elongation was different to the species of seed. The inhibition of seed germination and root elongation treated with the water-extracts which extracted from sludge compost in the early stage of decomposing process was greater than that of in the late stage of decomposing process.

The elderly or patients with masticatory disturbance and deglutition dysfunctions, may have difficulty in chewing or biting foods with a hard texture. Thus, softening of the texture of foods using hemicellulase immobilized by the nanoencapsulation technique was examined in this study. Burdock was cut into cylindrical-shaped samples, which were immersed in distilled water and non-coated or coated enzymes for 48 h at $4^{\circ}C$. The hardness of the treated samples decreased compared to the control. Microstructural observations revealed that the cells in the non-coated burdock were destroyed after 24 h. From the point of view of enzyme activity, the initial activity of the non-coated enzymes was higher than that of the coated enzymes. However, the enzyme activity was not significantly affected by the immersion time. Therefore, it appears that the encapsulation technique for enzymes may be useful for softening the texture of foods.

전통적인 면역억제제와 면역활동제인 녹용수용추출액(DAA)은 뼈의 재생에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다고 여겨진다. 녹용약침이 비활성 연골세포의 분화를 야기시킬수 있는 지를 결정하기 위해, 융합된 세포 배양균을 녹용약침과 함께 24, 36, 48, 72, 120 시간동안 먼저 처리하였다. 이러한 처리후에 배양액을 10-10 ~ 10-8M 1,25-(OH)2D3를 포함하는 새로운 배양액으로 바꾸어 세포들을 추가로 24시간동안 배양했다. 앞선 연구에서 더 성숙된 활성연골세포가 이러한 Vit D3 대사산물에 반응한다는 것을 보여주었기 때문에 이러한 두 번째 처리를 선택하였다. 세포성숙에 있어서 녹용약침의 전처리 효과는 ALPase의 특이활동을 측정하는 것으로 확인하였다. 기질 단백질 합성의 변화는 35SO4 결합이 proteoglycan으로의 변화되는것과 collagen 합성을 측정함으로써 증명되었다. 비활성 연골세포가 녹용약침과 함께 120시간동안 전처리되고 다시 1,25-(OH)2D3를 추가한 처치에서 ALPase 특이활동과 collagen 합성이 농도 의존적으로 증가를 일으켰다. 그러나 proteoglycan의 생성에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 1,25-(OH)2D3와 함께 전처리 된 비활성 연골 세포는 어떠한 전처리도 받지 않았던 비활성 연골세포처럼 반응했다. 이러한 결과는 녹용약침이 직접적으로 비활성 연골 세포를 활성 연골세포로 성숙시키는데 관여한다는 것을 알려준다. 그러므로 녹용약침은 연골내 골화과정에서 연골세포의 성숙을 조절하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

The soil pH favored by Korean wild plants is 5.33~7.20, while naturalized invader species prefer soils of pH 3.95~6.48. The germination rate of Zoysia japonica was inhibited sharply, up to 60%, in extracts of naturalized plants of concentrations over 50%. Erigeron canadensis extract most strongly inhibited germination, while the Korean wild species, Cassia mimosoides var. nomame increased germination rates in concentrations of 30% and 50%. The seedling growth of Zoysia japonica in extracts of Korean wild species and naturalized species did not show differences, but was inhibited strongly, up to 60%, in the extract of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame concentration of over 15%. Analysis of the extract from Cassia mimosoides var. nomame identified procatechuic acid, $\rho$-hydroquinone, $\rho$-coumaric acid and ferulic acid at 254nm; and vanillic acid, hydroquinone, benzoic acid and cinnamic acid were discovered at 284nm. The seed germination and seedling growth of Zoysia japonica were investigated under different concentrations of phenolic compounds. Ferulic acid and vanillic acid were associated with an increased germination rate, while $\rho$-coumaric acid appeared to inhibit seedling growth.
