Disinfecting contaminated swine manure with FMD (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) and pathogenic viruses is very important for maintaining sanitized environment. However, very few research reported on this subject, especially post-disinfection to utilize the wastes as a renewable resource. This research is carried out to obtain basic information for chemical treatment in FMD SOP (Standard Operating Procedure, Korea) of contaminated swine manure. Using lime, sodium hydroxide, citric acid and hydrochloric acid, described in FMD SOP, the effects of chemical treatments on livestock manure were compared in this paper. Four combinations of alkali-acid treatments and four kinds of acid-alkali combinations were tested to find out the effective method. Total coliform bacteria in contaminated swine manure, $1.6{\times}10^4$ CFU/100 ml, decreased to the range of 1/1000~1/100 in all treatments. Some specific disinfectants increases BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and EC(Electric Conductivity), especially, alkaline treatments increases ammonia level than acid treatments. These findings suggest that the treatment methods should be considered as an important environmental factor in post-disinfection of contaminated animal manure with pathogenic microorganisms.

Physicochemical properties of chicken feet gelatin produced under acidic and alkaline conditions were investigated. Amino acid content of chicken feet gelatin was different from that of commercial gelatin due to the differences in raw materials and production process. Yield and hardness of chicken feet gelatin reached maximum at 24 h under acidic condition and at 1 week under alkaline condition, respectively. As the soaking period increased, viscosity and clarity increased under acidic condition, while decreased under alkaline condition. Color of the acid-treated chicken feet gelatin gel was more desirable than that of the alkali-treated on based upon L, a, b values. From gel permeation chromatography of the chicken feet gelatin, 12 subunits were detected. The amount of high molecular weight subunits, which is related to viscosity and hardness, of the alkali-treated chicken feet gelatin was twice as much as that of the acid-treated one.

The chemical and gelling properties of porphyran from Porphra yezoensis collected from Buan and Wido in Korea at different months of the year were studied. Crude porphyran was prepared by hot-water extraction and further purified by cetylpyridinium chloride precipitation, Crude porphyran and porphyran were modified by alkali treatment to eliminate sulfate. The yields of alkali-modified crude porphyran (AMCP) and porphyran(AMP) were between $4.9\~10.9\%$ and $4.0\~6.7\%$ of the dried algae weight and were maximum in February for Buan and January for Wido, respectively. Gel strength of AMCP were highest in February ($790g/cm^2$) for Buan and January ($740 g/cm^2$) for Wido. Alkali modification increased 3,6-anhydro galactose content and the molar ratio of galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose of AMCP and AMP showed 1 : 0,8$\~$1.1. GLC and FT-IR measurement of AMP showed that most of sulfate residues were combined to C-6 of galactose, Thus, results of this study suggest that crude porphyran extracted from Porphra yezoensis produces an agar of a reasonably good quality after alkali treatment.

This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of methane fermentation and lysis effects of pre-treated microalgae. Chemical compositions of microalgae showed that the VS(volatile solid) was 86.1% of TS(total solid), and the protein was 63.5% of VS. These values were higher than those of activated sludge. The cell lysis test of raw microalgae biomass was conducted by many physicochemical methods. presenting that the degree of cell lysis was affected by following order: ultrasonic(100min.), alkali(pH 13), ultrasonic(10min), thermal($120^{\circ}C$), thermal($50^{\circ}C$), and acidic(pH 3) treatment. Methane fermentation with many pre-treated samples was performed, showing that the concentration of acetic acid was the highest. followed by propionic acid, butylic acid and valerie acid among all VFA(volatile fattic acid). In methane production. ultrasonic samples were only more effective than untreated one in total gas and methane productivity. but other samples were less effective. Especially. the alkalic sample had an inhibitation effect on methanogens.

The effectiveness of physiological or chemical acid - alkali solution was investigated as the method to control pH value of nutrient solution in hydroponics dynamically. Lettuces were cultivated using NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ as physiological acid and NaNO$_3$ as physiological alkali or H$_2$SO$_4$ as chemical acid in dynamic control system. The pH of nutrient solution was controlled satisfactorily in the range of pH 5.5-6.5, regardless of treatments. Chemical acid changed pH of solution faster than chemical acid when supplied to the nutrient solution. Any of them did not show any harmful symptom. It is recommended that chemical acid is preferred during the growing stage and physiological acid like as NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ is preferred from several days before harvest stage.

Domestic seaweeds Gracilaria verrucosa collected from coastal areas of Namhae, Wando and Yeosoo, Korea were subjected to the examination of yield and quality of agar prepared according to various pretreatment conditions. In alkali treatment at high temperature, higher alkali concentration for one-hour period at $90^{\circ}C$ gave rise to higher yield of agar. In acid treatment, higher yield was obtained by higher acid concentration and longer treating period. Alkali treatment at room temperature gave rise to a slightly decreased yield at higher alkali concentration and longer treating time. Total nitrogen and crude ash of agar samples were greatly decreased by pretreatments. Jelly strength, gelation ability, gelation point and viscosity of agar samples tended to increase as the alkali-treating condition of seaweed became stronger. It was shown that sulfur content of agar had a high negative correlation with jelly strength of its gel. Various alkali treatments of seaweed at room temperature showed no marked difference in agar quality and did not exhibit any good effect comparable to alkali treatment at high temperature.

This study was conducted to determine the inactivation effect of electrolyzed water and organic acids either alone or in combination on L. monocytogenes or natural microflora on lettuce. Acidic electrolyzed water completely inactivated L. monocytogenes in broth system within 60 sec, but alkalin electrolyzed water caused approximate 1.7 log CFU/g reduction. However, acidic electrolyzed water reduced only 2.5 log CFU/g of L. monocytogenes on lettuce, and similar antimicrobial effect was observed with alkalin electrolyzed water. In the meantime, acidic and alkaline electrolyzed water caused approximately 2 log CFU/g reduction compared to control, whereas both electrolyzed water combined with $1\%$ organic acids ranged from 2.6 to 3.7 log CFU/g reduction. Among the organic acids, both electrolyzed water combined with $1\%$ citric acid showed the strongest synergistic antimicrobial effect to reduce L. monocytogenes on lettuce as well as total counts, yeast and molds. When antimicrobials, alone or in combination were treated into L. monocytogenes inoculated lettuce at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;15^{\circ}C$ for designed periods, the combined alkalin electrolyzed water with $1\%$ citric acid showed the greatest potential to inhibit growth of the bacteria. According to Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), the treatment of electrolyzed alkali water in combination with $1\%$ citric acid highly reduced the growth of the L. monocytogenes compared to single treatment and resulted in causing the destruction of cell membrane.

The alkali refined rice bran oil (ARBO) and the esterified rice bran oil (ERBO) with glycerol were compared for their thermal stabilities at $150^{\circ}C$ and $180^{\circ}C$, respectively. The acid value gradually increased in ARBO during heating period but increased slowly in ERBO-2 and declined gradually in ERBO-1. The peroxide value was somewhat fluctuated during heating period, and the maximum peroxide value in all samples was 13.3 meq/kg. TBA value was sharply increased for the first 10 hr. heating and slowed down thereafter for all samples but ERBO were intensely colored after the heat treatment. The TG ratio of the oils after 90 hr. heating was not different at $150^{\circ}C$ but ERBO was 2-7% higher ratio of TG than ARBO at $180^{\circ}C$. The oxidative stability of ARBO was twice higher than ERBO according to the result of active oxygen test.

자료의 보존에 있어서 종이의 열화로 인해 자료의 분석, 열화메커니즘의 해석, 종이의 보존이란 측면 하에서의 관심이 서서히 집중되고 있는 실정이며, 그 중요성도 크게 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 산성지를 중성화하는 화학적시스템, 즉, 탈산성화처리는 알카리계금속(Ca, Mg, Zn, Na)과 유기용매, 수용성용매를 이용하여 이들 약품을 종이내에 침투시켜 중성화(pH 6-8) 함으로써 종이의 주성분인 cellulose를 보다 안정화시키는 방법으로 산을 중화하여 보존성을 향상시킬 수 있는 것이다. 즉, 탈산처리란 화학적으로 종이속에 생기는 산 또는 산을 발생하는 물질을 알칼리물질로 중화하는 것이다. 또한 중화후 알칼리 물질이 종이에 잔류하면 장래에 내부적으로 발생하는 산이나 외부(대기중의 오염물질 등) 로부터 침입하는 산도 중화하여 보존성을 향상시킬 수가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 산성초지법에 의해 제조된 용지들의 열화특성과 알카리 토금속을 처리한 후에 알카리도를 상승시킨 용지의 열화특성을 물리·화학적 변화를 통하여 종이의 보존성을 비교 검토·규명함으로써 문(도)서의 보존체계를 마련하고자 하며, 보존과 관련된 기초자료를 얻고자 실시하였다.
