To investigate the effects of submersion aging in chilled water on tenderness and microbial growth of vacuum-packed beef, the semimembranosus muscles of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) was sampled at a commercial meat plant at 24 hrs postmortem. The samples were cut to 2.5 cm thick steaks and randomly assigned to following two treatments. The samples were stored in conventional refrigerator at 4$^{\circ}C$ after vacuum packaging for control whereas the other vacuum-packed samples were submersed in chilled water at 1$^{\circ}C$ for treatment, and both samples were stored for 14 days to measure total plate counts (TPC), sarcomere length, free calcium concentration, shear farce value and myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI). The sarcomere length of treatment was significantly (p<0.05) longer than that of control at 3 days aging. Result suggested that submersion in chilled water of vacuum-packed beef might be effective to improve tenderness of meat compared to storage in conventional refrigerator. There were no significant differences in the shear force and MFI between control and treatment during storage. However, the free calcium concentration of samples from treatment was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of control at 7 days of ageing. This result indicated that the lower shear force value and the longer sarcomere length of samples from treatment might be due to increasing the free calcium ion concentration in sarcoplasm during storage. On the other hands, samples from control showed significantly (p<0.05) higher number of microbial (TPC) compared to treatment during storage. from results obtained, submersion in chilled water of vacuum-packed beef could be recommended as a desirable aging method to improve tenderness of Hanwoo compared to aging in conventional refrigerator.

The separation conditions for the enhancement of isoflavone contents in soybean by soaking and germination were developed, and the fermentation conditions of Chungkukjang were optimized by using response surface methodology analysis. The high-yield of isoflavone production was obtained when the conditions of soaking and gemination were at 25.6$^{\circ}C$, 7 hr and 29.1$^{\circ}C$, 42.4 hr, respectively. Total isoflavone contents in soybean (Daepung) by treatment were increased from 1,012 ppm to 1,912 ppm. Also, the optimum fermentation conditions of Chungkukjang were determined 39.96$^{\circ}C$, 1.32% (inoulum size) and 42.4 hr, respectively. Isoflavone contents in Chungkugjang under the optimum fermentation conditions were 1.3 times higher than the control (1,960 ppm).

For the development of integrated pest management system by harmonizing biological and chemical control, some experiments were carried out to select low toxic pesticides and to evaluate residual toxicity to natural enemies. Leaf dipping method and body dipping method were set up for evaluating toxicity to minute pirate bug, Orius strigicollis adult. We had tested 52 kinds of pesticides (33 insecticides, 19 fungicides) commonly used to control greenhouse insects, mites, and disease pests to natural enemies at the recommended concentration. Fourteen insecticides by body dipping method, 12 insecticides by leaf dipping method and 19 fungicides were selected as low toxic pesticides to O. strigicollis adult. After insecticide spraying at recommending dose on the sweet pepper plant, we examined residual effect of insecticides by introducing natural enemies on different days. Safety interval for introduction of O. strigicollis adult was established according to residual toxicity of pesticides. Safety insecticides at one day after treatment were pyraclofos, methomyl, thiodicarb, esfenvalerate bifenthrin, alpha-cypermethrin, etofenprox, fenvalerate, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, abamectin, emamectin benzoate, spinosad, indoxacarb. However, residual toxicity of nee-nicotinoids last up to 21 days to O. strigicollis adults.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of injection of garlic, Allium sativum, extract and immersion in garlic juice on the nonspecific immunity and the resistance against the artificial infection of Streptococcus iniae and Edwardsiella tarda of the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. The nonspecific immune mechanisms were assessed in terms of lysozyme activity, nitroblue-tetrazolium (NBT) assay and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity etc. Relative percent survival (RPS) was assessed by the challenge with S. iniae BS10 or E. tarda KE-1. Almost of the garlic extract injected groups showed the enhanced level of the tested nonspecific immune factors. In the challenge test with S. iniae and E. tarda, RPS of 5% garlic extract pre-injected group was much higher than that of any other tested groups, respectively. Almost of the garlic juice immersion tested groups exhibited strengthened nonspecific immune defence factors, lysozyme activity, the number of lymphocytes and neutrophils, NBT reduction and SOD activity in kidney. In the challenge with S. iniae and E. tarda, RPS in the 0.25 g/L of garlic juice immersed group was much higher than any other tested groups, respectively. The results suggest that the garlic extract and juice would be effective to enhance the nonspecific immunity and protective ability of olive flounder against fish disease such as S. iniae and E. tarda.

Purpose: The purposes of this study was to evaluates shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneer-ceramic in order to examine the clinical practice of colored zirconia block fabricated by infiltration method into the metal chloride solution. Material and methods: CNU block and $Everest{(R)}$ ZS blank were used. VITA In-$Ceram{(R)}$2000 YZ Coloring liquid (LL1) and 3 aqueous metal chloride solutions containing chromium and molybdenum ingredients were used. 40 zirconia specimens were prepared into cuboid shape ($5{\times}5{\times}10 mm$). All specimens were divided into 5 groups by infiltrating into the coloring liquids. After that, porcelain was build up into the shape of $5{\times}5{\times}4mm^3$, followed by sintering. The maximum loading and shear bond strength was measured. Failure patterns and failure sites were examined. Results: 1. There were no statistical differences in shear bond strength between zirconia blocks (P > .05). 2. There were no statistically significant differences in shear bond strength between non-colored and colored zirconia blocks, while shear bond strength of non-colored zirconia blocks is higher than that of colored specimen (P > .05). 3. In the comparison with shear bond strength among colored zirconia blocks, there were no statistical differences according to kinds of coloring liquid (P > .05). 4. Mixed failure patterns were mainly observed in the failure between zirconia and veneering ceramic. The veneering ceramic failure of all specimens was observed in either interface of zirconia or veneering ceramic. Conclusion: Shear bond strength between colored zirconia and veneering ceramic shows lower tendency than non-colored zirconia, but there was clinically allowable value.

1. 서론 : 막 분리공정에 사용되고 있는 대부분의 고분자 막들은 침지침강(immersion precipitation) 상변환법에 의해 제조되고 있다. 침지침강 상변환법으로 제조된 막의 최종 구조는 고분자 캐스팅 용액의 열역학적 특성과 비용매와의 속도론적 특성에 따라 대칭형 또는 비대칭형 막구조를 갖게 된다. 고분자/용매로 이루어진 캐스팅 용액에 제3의 성분으로서 PVP, PEG, LiCl. ZnCl$_2$ 와 같은 유.무기물을 첨가시킴으로서 막구조 및 투과성능을 변화시킬 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 이들 첨가제를 pore-forming agent라 부르기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 열적.기계적 특성이 우수하고, 화학약품에 대한 안정성이 뛰어나 상변환 막의 소재물질로서 널리 사용되고 있는 Polyethersulfone(PES)을 막 소재 물질로 사용하여 PES/NMP 캐스팅 용액에 다양한 종류의 무기염[CaCl$_2$, LiCl, LiClO$_4$, Mg(ClO$_4)_2$, ZnCl$_2$]을 PES에 대한 중량비를 달리하여 첨가시켜 비대칭 막을 제조하여 무기염의 첨가가 막구조 형성 및 막투과 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 이때 첨가된 무기염 및 첨가 중량비에 따른 영향을 PES/NMP/Salt 계의 coagulation value, light transmittance, 점도 등의 열역학 및 속도론적 특성으로서 설명하였다.

Red seabream strips were decontaminated by dipping with solutions of 0.25~1.0% acetic, lactic, or citric acids for 5min. Control strips were dipped with tap water only for 5min. All strips were individually placed in plastic bags and stored at 4$^{\circ}C$. Acetic acid(AA) treatments were completely inhibited aerobic spoilage bacteria(areobic plate count : APC) compared to the initial controls for 6 days. Treatments of either lactic acid(LA) or citric acid(CA) completely inhibited APC compared to the initial controls for 3 days. Red seabream strips treated with AA extended microbiological shelf-life for 12 days.
