발전소 물/증기 순환계통의 주요 기기인 증기발생기/보일러는 금속산화물과 각종 불순물이 축적되면 전열관이 손상되므로, 증기발생기/보일러 내부로 최소의 슬러지가 유입되고, 증기발생기 내부에서 금속산화물 입자가 형성되는 것을 억제하기 위해 수질관리를 하고 있으며, 증기발생기 내부에 존재하는 슬러지를 배출하기 위해 Blowdown 및 Sludge Lancing 등의 물리적 방법을 이용하는 기술이 개발되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 관리에도 불구하고 슬러지 성분인 금속산화물 농도는 운전 조건에 따라 매우 다르며(불순물 잠복 및 방출 현상), 아직까지 잠복현상에 대한 기본적인 메커니즘은 완전히 규명되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 물/증기 순환계통 부식생성물의 물성 평가를 하기 위해 순환계통 기기들과 배관 부식생성물의 대부분인 철분이 부식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에, 수화학 조건 및 금속합금 종류에 따라 생성되는 부식생성물을 철분을 중심으로 하여 실험하였고, 또한 부식생성물은 온도에 의해서도 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 다양한 온도에서도 부식생성물 생성 실험을 하였다.

The growth inhibitory effect of Microcystis aeruginosa according to the ultrasonic irradiation time was evaluated using a large algae sample volume (10 L) for various ultrasonic irradiation times (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 hr) at a laboratory scale. Based on the analysis of Chl-a and cell number of M. aerginosa, algae growth inhibition was observed with the decrease in Chl-a and cell number in all experimental groups after the ultrasonic irradiation. For the experimental group (T_B, T_C, T_D) with an ultrasonic irradiation time of less than 2 hours, rapid regrowth of algae was observed after growth inhibition, but the experimental group (T_E, T_F, T_G) with an irradiation time of more than 2 hours successfully inhibited algal growth lasting one or two more days. Based on the comparison of the recovery time to initial cell number the experimental group (T_B, T_C, T_D) took less than 20 days whereas the experimental group (T_E, T_F, T_G) took about 30 days. Correspondingly, the experimental group showed a high first order decay rate (𝜅) in proportion to the ultrasonic irradiation time during the growth inhibition period. Additionally, the specific growth rates (𝜇) during regrowth in the experimental group with irradiation time of more than 2 hours were relatively low compared to those in the experimental group with less than 2 hours. Therefore, ultrasonic irradiation for more than 2 hours is required for long-term (30 days) inhibition of algal growth in stagnant waters. However, the appropriate ultrasonic irradiation time for algae growth inhibition should be determined according to various field conditions such as the volume of stagnant water, water depth, flow rate, algae concentration, etc. Finally, damages to the algal cell surface and cell membrane were clearly observed, and both destruction and disturbance of gas vesicles of M. aeruginosa in the experimental group were discovered, indicating the growth inhibitory effect of Microcystis aeruginosa according to the ultrasonic irradiation time was confirmed.

To develop natural food preservatives with Maesil (prunus mume), investigation of antimicrobial activities against food-related bacteria and yeast was conducted. Maesil (prunu mume) extract exhibited growth-inhibiting activities for most of the microorganisms tested. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of maesil extract for Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis were as low as 0.1mg/ml. The antimicrobial activity of the maesil (prunu mume) extract was reduced by heating or alkali treatment. Moreover, growth of Staphylococcus aureus was completely inhibited within 24 hours by the addition of at least 100 ppm of maesil extract. These findings suggest that maesil extract may play a role in the development of natural food preservatives.

Volatile antimicrobial compounds, isothiocyanates (ITCs), were compared their antimicrobial activity against 9 strains, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Erwinia carotovora, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium roqueforti. And synergistic antimicrobial effect of ITCs was examined with acetic acid. Allyl isothiocyanate (AIT), benzyl isothiocyanate (BIT), and ethyl isothiocyanate (EIT) were more effective than other ITCs. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of these compounds was $100{\sim}200\;{\mu}g/dish$ against microorganisms tested and their inhibitory actions were more effective in order of fungi>yeast>Gram-negative bacteria>Gram-positive bacteria. MIC of acetic acid was $50{\sim}500\;{\mu}g/dish$ as lower concentration than ITCs. Using a mixture of volatile antimicrobial compounds and acetic acid, the synergistic effect was increased in $2{\sim}10$ times than ITCs used solely.

This study investigated the antimicrobial effect of germinated acorn pollen solution on harmful food-borne microorganisms. The antimicrobial activity when 8% (w/v) acorn pollen in 10% (w/v) sugar solution was extracted at $30^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. The minimal inhibitory concentration of this germinated acorn pollen solution was $40\;{\mu}L/mL$ for Gram-positive bacteria and $30\;{\mu}L/mL$ for Gram-negative bacteria. Acetic and lactic acids were present at high levels in germinated acom pollen solution. As pollen germination releases heat, the antimicrobial activities are heat-stable. The activities are tolerant of low pH. In summary, acorn pollen germination solution showed active antibiosis and should be developed as a natural preservative material.

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) against several foodborne pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The antimicrobial effect was determined by agar diffusion method using red ginseng extract, crude saponin and non-water-soluble fractions. Red ginseng extract showed antimicrobial effect against S. aureus, but not C. albicans or A. niger. The extract showed anti-bacterial activity at concentration above 30% against S. aureus, which cause both food poisoning and atophic dermatitis. Crude saponin showed antibacterial activity above 7.5% against the bacterium. However, the ginsenosides purified from crude saponin showed no antimicrobial activities at 100-200 ㎍/mL. To investigate the mode of growth inhibition, red ginseng extract and crude saponin were added to 0.85% NaCl solution containing S. aureus and then incubated at 35℃ for 12 h. The results showed that viable cells were rapidly reduced in above 10% concentration of red ginseng extract and above 2% of crude saponin, respectively. However, the crude saponin and red ginseng extract did not inhibit the bacterial cells completely at those same concentrations. On the other hand, whereas all non-water-soluble fractions showed inhibition zones above 10 mm against S. aureus, they showed no inhibition effects against E. coli, C. albicans or A. niger. The methanol fraction-1 (MF-1) showed the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus, and the MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) was 0.625 mg/mL. These results suggest that red ginseng extract, crude saponin and non-water-soluble fractions show selective antibacterial activity against S. aureus, and non-water-soluble fractions might be used as natural antibacterial agents.
