최근 하천에는 치수와 하천생태를 고려한 수많은 하천복원기술이 개발 적용되고 있으나 국내 여건을 제대로 반영한 기술이 전무한 것이 현실이다. 또한 과도한 콘크리트 사용으로 인한 하천경관의 훼손 및 하천생태계에 악영향을 미치고 있으며 이와 더불어 강우량의 증대 및 집중호우 등 돌변하는 기후변화로 하천환경변화에 대한 적용 가능한 기술이 미비하다. 따라서 하천에 유해한 물질을 방출시키지 않고 하천환경 및 하천 생물의 생활사에 영향을 주지 않는 무 저독성 소재를 활용하여 기후변화에 대응이 가능하도록 수리적 안정성을 강화시키고, 생태적으로도 건강한 생태하천 복원 기술개발이 요구되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 무독성 소재를 활용하여 치수적으로 안정적이고 식물 및 어류 등 각종 생물의 서식이 가능한 하천호안공 기술을 개발하였으며, 개발된 호안기술은 창원시 마산회원구에 위치한 광려천 상류 일부구간에 시범적으로 적용하였고, 시공 전 중 후 물리, 화학, 생물 모니터링을 통하여 개발기술의 현장 적용성을 검증하였다.

홍합, 따개비 등의 접착성 해양생물은 선박의 하부나 발전소 해수 공급용 튜브에 부착하여 운영 효율을 저하 시키고, 냉각기기 고장을 유발하는 파울링(Fouling) 문제를 야기시킨다. 일반적으로 이러한 문제에 대응하기 위해서 초접착성 해양생물이 주로 부착하는 부위에 $Cu_2O$, ZnO 등을 포함한 유기화합물로 표면처리를 하여 부착방지를 하고 있지만, 이 소재들을 장시간 사용 시 해양 오염 및 부식을 가속화하는 문제를 초례하기 때문에 최근에는 사용을 금지하고 있다. 이러한 유해성 소재 문제를 해결하고자 친환경적이고 부작용이 없는 초접착성 해양생물 부착방지 소재를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 표면장력을 갖는 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane) 소재를 기반으로 소수성 oil을 침투시킨 I-PDMS(Oil-Polydimethylsiloxane) 표면처리법을 고안하였고, 이 방법을 활용하여 초접착성 해양생물에 대한 부착방지 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. 기존의 개발품들 보다 성능이 향상된 I-PDMS 제조하고자, Nano-indentation을 이용한 기계적 특성 평가, X컷 및 cross-cut을 이용한 부착력 평가, 실제 바다환경에서 해양생물의 부착력 시험, 바다 환경을 모사한 수조에서의 I-PDMS와 비교군 기판에서의 홍합 거동, 홍합과 기판의 접착강도 시험, 해양 미생물 평가를 실시하였으며, 이를 통해서 I-PDMS 성능 및 내구성을 입증하고자 하였다.

White jelly fungus (Tremella fuciformis Berk) is effective for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lung disease, beauty, and has been known as an elixir of life in ancient Chinese dynasty. In this study, we investigated the anti-obesity and diabetic effects of the fermented white jelly fungus extract by the bioconversion process. We fed an obesity-inducing mouse with 5% non-fermented Tremella fuciformis (TF), 2.5% fermented Tremella fuciformis (FTF), and 5% FTF containing High Fats Diet (HFD) and HFD for 8 weeks, respectively. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed analysis after 7 weeks of feeding and the dietary intake, food efficiency ratio, body weight, liver, epididymal fat weight, and serum insulin level were measured after 8 weeks of feeding. Also, HOMA-IR was analyzed. The concentrations of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides test was analyzed. The FTF compare with 5% TF and HFD confirmed that 5% FTF reduced body weight, tissue weight, triglycerides concentration, HOMA-IR, respectively. As a result, we confirmed that the fermented white jelly fungus has the anti-obesity effect. Finally, this study can be used a basic data for obesity treatment using fermented white jelly fungus.

Since the COVID-19 crisis, the use of disposable packaging materials and delivery services, which raise environmental and social issues with waste disposal, has significantly increased. Antimicrobial active packaging has emerged as a viable solution for extending the shelf-life of foods by minimizing microbial growth and decomposition. In this review article, we provide a comprehensive overview of current research trends in antimicrobial active film and coating published over the last five years. First, we introduced various polymer materials such as film and coating that are used in active packaging. Next, various types of antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral) packaging including essential oil, extracts, biological material, metal, and nanoparticles were introduced and their activities and mechanisms were discussed. Finally, the current challenges and prospects were discussed. Overall, this review provides insights into the recent advancements in antimicrobial active packaging research and highlights the potential of the technology to enhance food safety and quality.

Saposhnikovia has been used as a traditional medicinal herb in Asia because of the reported anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic rhinitis, pro-whitening, anti-atopy, anti-allergy, and anti-dermatopathy effects of the phytochemical compounds it contains. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effects of a Saposhnikovia extract after fermentation by Lactobacillus plantarum BHN-LAB 33. Saposhnikovia powder was inoculated with L. plantarum BHN-LAB 33 and fermented at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr. After fermentation, the total polyphenol content of the Saposhnikovia extract increased by about 14%, and the total flavonoid content increased by about 9%. The superoxide dismutase-like activities, DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, reducing power activity, and tyrosinase inhibition activity also increased after fermentation by approximately 70%, 80%, 45%, 39%, and 44%, respectively. The results confirmed that fermentation of a Saposhnikovia extract by L. plantarum BHN-LAB 33 is an effective way to increase the antioxidant effects of the extract. The bioconversion process investigated in this study may have the potential to produce phytochemical-enriched natural antioxidant agents with high added value from Saposhnikovia matrices. These results can also be applied to the development of improved foods and cosmetic materials.

This study was intended to investigate the potential of Astragalus membranaceus ethanol extract(AM) and Astragalus membranaceus bioconversion extract(AMB) as functional cosmetic materials. To confirm the antioxidant effect, polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured, and a study was conducted on skin cell toxicity and skin cell aging through cell experiments. As a result of the antioxidant experiment, the content of polyphenols and flavonoids increased in a concentration-dependent manner in the effects of polyphenols and flavonoids, and it was confirmed that the ethanol extracts were higher than the bioconversion extracts. It was confirmed that the AM and AMB increased the MMP1 expression inhibitory effect in a concentration-dependent manner in HDF cells. Therefore, this study is considered to be very useful as a functional cosmetic material in terms of antioxidant and skin aging prevention when using AM and AMB as functional cosmetic materials.
