Vitamin C ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) as an antioxidant have been shown to have protective effects in experimental neurological disorder models such as stroke, ischemia, and epileptic seizures. The present study was conducted to examine the protective effect of AA and DHA on Kainic acid (KA) neurotoxicity using organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSC). After 12h KA treatment, significant delayed neuronal death was detected in CA3 region, but not in CA1. Intermediate dose of AA and DHA pretreatment significantly prevented cell death and inhibit ROS level, mitochondrial dysfunction and capase-3 activation in CA3 region. In the case of low or high dose, however, AA or DHA pretreatment were not effective. These data suggest that both AA and DHA pretreatment have neuroprotective effects on KA-induced neuronal injury depending on the concentration, by means of inhibition of ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway.

For a characterization of the pretreated waste automotive catalyst the following analysis techniques were applied : EA(Elemental Analysis) BET(Brunaure-Emmett-Teller) and ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). The combustion activity of waste automotive catalyst was investigated for methanol acetaldehyde and toluene as model VOCs in a fixed bed reactor. carbon deposit amount was decreased with increasing catalyst showed a good catalytic activity for VOCs combustion at 40$0^{\circ}C$. Catalytic activity for methanol acetaldehyde and toluence combustion was very excellent and decreased with mileage. The catalytic activity of a waste automotive catalyst for methanol combustion increased after acid treatment. The acid effect of catalytic activity was summarized as follows: HNO3>HCI>H2SO4>CH3COOH. The waste automotive catalyst regenerated by the pretreatment method might have a excellent catalytic activity for VOCs combustion.

탄소는 비표면적이 매우 크고 우수한 화학적 안정성을 지녀 촉매 지지체로 사용한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 탄소를 지지체로 사용하는데 있어 전처리 과정은 필수적이다. 전처리를 통해 금속 입자의 성장을 제어해 안정화하고 지지체와 금속 입자 간 결합력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면 개질을 위해 탄소의 전처리를 실시하였으며 이를 촉매 지지체로 사용해 5 wt% Pd/C 촉매를 합성하였다. 제조된 촉매의 활성은 페놀 수소화 반응을 통해 평가되었다. 탄소 전처리 시 일반적으로 사용되는 질산과 비교하고자 유기산을 사용해 탄소 전처리를 진행하였고 이를 지지체로 사용해 촉매를 제조하였다. 글루콘산으로 처리된 촉매는 94.93%의 전환율과 92.76%의 사이클로헥사논 선택도를 나타내 질산으로 처리된 촉매보다 우수한 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 유기산을 이용한 탄소의 전처리가 무기산 처리의 단점을 개선하는 것뿐만 아니라 촉매 성능 개선에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The acid pretreatment of collagen molecules disrupts their crosslinks and assists in the release of acid-soluble proteins, fats, and other components. Generally, to achieve optimum extraction efficiency, strong acids may be used at a lower acid concentration compared to weak acids. This study aimed to determine the yield and physicochemical properties of gelatins extracted from buffalo hides pretreated with different acids. Hides were extracted with hydrochloric, citric, and acetic acids at concentrations of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 M. A completely randomized design and the least significant difference test were used in the experimental design, and all measurements were performed in triplicate. The highest yield (29.17%) was obtained from pretreatment with 0.9 M HCl. The gel strength did not differ significantly (p>0.05) according to acid type (280.26-259.62 g Bloom), and the highest viscosity was obtained from the 0.6 M citric acid pretreatment. All the gelatins contained ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-chain components and several degraded peptides (24-66 kDa). The color and Fourier-transform infrared spectrum of the gelatin extracted using 0.9 M HCl were similar to those of commercial bovine skin gelatin. In general, the physicochemical properties of the gelatin complied with the industry standard set by the Gelatin Manufacturers Institute of America, revealing that buffalo hide could serve as a potential alternative source of gelatin.

본 연구는 화학적 전처리 공정이 목질계 바이오매스의 효소 가수분해에 미치는 영향을 구명할 목적으로 이태리포플러 분말을 1% 황산과 수산화나트륨 수용액을 이용하여 각각 $150^{\circ}C$와 $160^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 동안 전처리를 실시하였다. 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 시료와 건조과정을 거치치 않은 시료로 각각 구분하여 화학적, 물리적 성상 및 효소 당화 효율에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하였다. 황산 전처리에 의한 바이오매스의 분해율은 약 24.5%로 수산화나트륨 전처리에 의한 분해율(18.6%)보다 약 6% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 반면, 탈리그닌화는 수산화나트륨이 우수하여 황산을 이용한 전처리보다 약 2% 가량 높게 나타났다. 결정화도는 미처리 시료와 비교하였을 때 황산과 수산화나트륨으로 전처리한 시료 모두 다소 높은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 전처리 과정에서 비결정성 셀룰로오스가 결정영역보다 선택적으로 분해됨으로서 나타난 결과로 예측되었다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 표면 미세구조 관찰 결과, 황산, 수산화나트륨 전처리 모두 구성 성분들을 분해함으로써 목질바이오매스의 표면을 미처리 시료보다 거칠게 만들고 부분적인 균열을 발생시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 황산 전처리-건조 시료에서는 이러한 표면 거칠음이 대조구와 유사하게 다시 변화하였음을 관찰하였다. 시료 표면의 기공분포는 두가지 전처리 과정 모두를 통해 크게 증가하였음을 확인하였다. 그러나 수산화나트륨에 의해 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 경우에도 기공분포가 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 황산으로 전처리한 시료는 건조과정을 거치면서 전처리에 의해 증가한 기공 분포가 다시 급격히 감소하여 미처리 시료와 유사한 기공분포를 나타내었다. 황산 전처리 후 건조과정을 거친 시료와 미건조 시료는 효소가수분해에 의한 소화율이 각각 7.0%와 26.9%로 측정된 반면, 수산화나트륨 전처리 후 건조된 시료와 미건조시료는 각각 39.7%와 45.8%로 나타나 알칼리에 의한 전처리가 산 전처리보다 소화율 향상을 위해 더 우수하였으며, 이러한 높은 소화율은 당화 효율에도 커다란 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 아울러 전처리된 바이오매스의 건조는 소화율 및 당화 수율에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Limited availability of corn stover due to the competing uses (organic manure, animal feed, bio-materials, and bioenergy) presents a major concern for its future in the bio-economy. Furthermore, biomass research has exhibited different results due to the differences in the supply of enzymes and dissimilar analytical methods. The effect of the two leading pretreatment techniques (dilute acid and alkaline) on glucose yield from three corn stover fractions (cob, stalk, and leaf) sourced from a single harvest in Uganda were studied at temperatures 100, 120, 140, and $160^{\circ}C$ over reaction times of 5, 10, 30, and 60 min. Results: From this study, the highest glucose concentrations obtained from the dilute acid (DA) pretreated cobs, stalks, and leaves were 18.4 g/L (66.8% glucose yield), 16.2 g/L (64.1% glucose yield), and 11.0 g/L (49.5% glucose yield), respectively. The optimal pretreatment settings needed to obtain these yields from the DA pretreated samples were at a temperature of $160^{\circ}C$ over an incubation time of 30 min. The highest glucose concentrations obtained from the alkaline (AL) pretreated cobs, stalks, and leaves were 24.7 g/L (81.73% glucose yield), 21.3 g/L (81.23% glucose yield), and 15.0 g/L (51.92% glucose yield), respectively. To be able to achieve these yields, the optimal pretreatment settings for the cobs and stalks were $140^{\circ}C$ and for a retention time of 30 min, while the leaves require optimal conditions of $140^{\circ}C$ and for a retention time of 60 min. Conclusions: The study recommends that the leaves could be left on the field during harvesting since the recovery of glucose from the pretreated cobs and stalks is higher.

Ethanol productions were performed by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes using seaweed, Enteromorpha intestinalis (sea lettuce). Pretreatment conditions were optimized by the performing thermal acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis for the increase of ethanol yield. The pretreatment by thermal acid hydrolysis was carried out with different sulfuric acid concentrations in the range of 25 mM to 75 mM $H_2SO_4$, pretreatment time from 30 to 90 minutes and solid contents of seaweed powder in the range of 10~16% (w/v). Optimal pretreatment conditions were determined as 75 mM $H_2SO_4$ and 13% (w/v) slurry at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. For the further saccharification, enzymatic hydrolysis was performed by the addition of commercial enzymes, Celluclast 1.5 L and Viscozyme L, after the neutralization. A maximum reducing sugar concentration of 40.4 g/L was obtained with 73% of theoretical yield from total carbohydrate. The ethanol concentration of 8.6 g/L of SHF process and 7.6 g/L of SSF process were obtained by the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 1126, with the inoculation cell density of 0.2 g dcw/L.

Objective and Methods : This study was performed to evaluate the anticonvulsant, antioxidant effect of modified formulas Korean traditional medicine Cheongsinhwadam-Jeon(CSHDJ). The extract of CSHDJ was administered (p.o.) to mice for 14 days in anticonvulsant and antioxidant tests. Results : The pretreatment of CSHDJ extract prohibited pentylenetrazol (PTZ)-induced convulsion. In PTZ-induced convulsion, lowered level of brain ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid(GABA) was restored normal state by the pretreatment of CSHDJ. Increased level of brain glutamic acid was lowered to normal state by CSHDJ, and increased activity of brain ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid transaminase(GABA-T) was reduced to normal state by CSHDJ. In PTZ-induced convulsion, increased level of brain lipid peroxide was lowered to normal state by the pretreatment of CSHDJ. Increased activity of brain xanthine oxidase(XOD) was lowered by CSHDJ, and increased activity of brain aldehyde oxidase lowered to normal state by CSHDJ. In PTZ-induced convulsion, increased activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase in brain were lowered by the pretreatment of CSHDJ, whereas increased level of glutathione and increased activity of gluthathione peroxidase in brain were not changed significantly. Conclusions : Above results suggest that CSHDJ has anticonvulsant, antioxidant effect. That seems to be strongly related with the levels of GABA, glutamate, lipid peroxide and the activities of GABA-T, XOD, aldehyde oxidase, SOD, catalase in brain tissue. From these results, CSHDJ could be applied to various convulsive disorders.
