Anthocyanins are antioxidant compounds susceptible to environmental factors. Anthocyanin encapsulation into yeast cells is a viable solution to overcome this problem. In this study, the optimal factors for anthocyanin encapsulation were investigated, including anthocyanin concentration, plasmolysis contraction agent, and ethanol concentration, and response surface methodology was evaluated, for the first time. Anthocyanin from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. flowers was encapsulated into Saccharomyces cerevisiae using plasmolysis contraction agent (B: 3%-20% w/v), ethanol concentration (C: 3%-20% v/v), and anthocyanin concentration (A: 0.15-0.45 g/ml). The encapsulation yield and anthocyanin loss rate were determined using a spectrometer (520 nm), and color stability evaluation of the capsules was performed at 80℃ for 30 min. The results of the study showed that these factors have a significant impact on the encapsulation of anthocyanin, in which ethanol agents have the highest encapsulation yield compared to other factors in the study. Statistical analysis shows that the independent variables (A, B, C), their squares (A², B², C²), and the interaction between B and C have a significant effect on the encapsulation yield. The optimized factors were anthocyanin, 0.25 g/ml; NaCl, 9.5% (w/v); and ethanol, 11% (v/v) with an encapsulation yield of 36.56% ± 0.55% and anthocyanin loss rate of 15.15% ± 0.98%; This is consistent with the expected encapsulation yield of 35.46% and loss rate of 13.2%.

Anionic small molecules are hard to penetrate the cell membranes because of their negative charges. Encapsulation of small molecules into liposome particles can provide target specific delivery of them. In our previous study, siRNA could be efficiently encapsulated into liposome particles using an asymmetric preparation method of liposomes. In this study, the same method was applied for encapsulation of small anionic fluorescent chemicals such as calcein and indocyanine green (ICG). More than 90% fluorescent chemicals were encapsulated in the asymmetric liposome particles (ALPs). No intracellular fluorescent signal was observed in the tumor cells treated with the unmodified calcein/ALPs and ICG/ALPs, whereas the surface modification with a cell-penetrating polyarginine peptide (R8 or R12) allows cellular uptake of the ALPs. The results demonstrate that the ALPs encapsulating small anionic drugs will be useful for target-specific delivery after modification of target-specific ligands.

Individual solar cells must be connected together to give the appropriate current and voltage levels and they must also be protected from damage by the environment. [1] PV module consists of a glass/ polymer encapsulation/ solar cell string/ polymer encapsulation/ back sheet. Usually, encapsulation materials is used EVA(ethylene vinyl acetate), PVB(polyvinyl butyral), PO(polyolefin)sheet. This study is about fabrication of module using silicone material instead of above them. We got to know advantage that is fabrication time and efficiency of modules.

This study was performed to investigate improving immune activities of natural water-soluble sulforaphane extracted from Brassica oleracea var. italica by nano encapsulation process. The nanoparticles of the sulforaphane extracted with ultrasonification process at $60^{\circ}C$ promoted human B and T cell growth, about $7{\sim}35%$ compared to the control. The secretion of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ from T cells were also enhanced as $2.6{\times}10^{-4}pg/cell$ and $2.1{\times}10^{-4} pg/cell$, respectively, by the adding nano samples. NK cell activation was improved about 8%, compare to the control in adding cultured medium of T cell added nano samples. It was also found that sulforaphane extracted from B. oleracea var. italica had highly inhibitory activity on hyaluronidase as $IC_{50}$ about $200\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. It can be concluded that natural water-soluble sulforaphane samples by nano-encapsulation, each size is 200 nm, extracted from B. oleracea var. italica has high immune activities through higher efficiency of bio-activation than conventional extracts.

This study was performed to improve immune activities of Rubus coreanus Miquel by encapsulation of nanoparticles. Immuno-activities of R. coreanus were investigated through aqueous extracts associated with process of water at $60^{\circ}C$. It showed high promotion of human B and T cells growth about 50%, compared to the case of other conditions. The secretion of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ was also enhanced as $2.44{\times}10^{-4}$pg/cell and $1.94{\times}10^{-4}$pg/cell, results by adding nano samples. NK cell activation was improved up to 29% higher than the conventional extraction process. The secretion of NO from macrophage showed 14.9 ${\mu}M$ on the nano-encapsulation process extracts, which was higher than others. The size of nanoparticles was in the range of 50${\sim}$300 nm, which can effect the penetration into the cells. It was clearly observed by real time confocal microscope.

Biopolymer membrane was prepared using two oppositely charged natural biopolymers. The biopolymer membrane was used for the encapsulation of two hybridoma cell lines(ATCC CRL-1606, ATCC HB-8852) to produce monoclonal antibodies. In order to reduce the down stream steps, the pre size of the membrane was controlled to retain the monoclonal antibodies in the capsules based on the diffusion experiments with standard proteins. T-flask culture showed cell densities of 8$\times$107 cells/mL and 3$\times$107 cells/mL, and MAb concentrations of 506$\mu$g/mL and 109$\mu$g/mL for encapsulated ATCC CRL-1606 and HB-8852, respectively. Two liter perfusion cultures with encapsulated ATCC HB-8852 were performed to enhance the MAb production. The MAb production of the encapsulated hybridoma increased considerably comparing to the culture using silicon tubing for oxygen transfer.

Omega-3 rich fish oils are extremely labile, thus requiring control of oxidation and off flavor development. A recently proposed emulsification method, layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, was found to be a plausible method to enhance the characteristics of bioactive ingredients, especially lipids. The present work was designed to test the possibility of enhancing the uptake and utilization of omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil. The bioavailability of nano-emulsified fish oil was monitored in terms of intestinal absorption as well as skin permeability by using the everted intestinal sac model and Franz cell model. The skin permeability and intestinal absorption characteristics was significantly improved by LbL emulsification with lecithin/chitosan/low methoxypectin. Multilayer encapsulation along with nano-emulsification can be a useful method to deliver biologically active lipids and related components, such as fish oil. The protective effect of this tool from lipid oxidation still needs to be verified.

본 연구에서는 농업용 미생물제 수요의 증가에 따른 보다 안정한 미생물제 공급과 규격화된 품질 보증 및 미생물제 생산성 확대를 위하여 식품 산업에서 활용되고 있는 미생물제의 미세캡슐화 기술을 응용하여, 농업용 미생물제 캡슐화 소재선발 및 캡슐화 최적조건을 조사하고 생산된 미생물 캡슐제의 생균력과 안정성에 관하여 검토하였다. 본 실험의 캡슐화 장치는 extrusion 기법에서 주로 사용되고 있는 air atomizing device 대신 저속의 연동펌프를 이용한 micro-nozzle 방식을 설계하여 수행하였다. 농용 미생물의 캡슐화 소재선발을 위해 bead 형성이 용이하며 생균력을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있고 저렴한 비용으로 구입이 가능한 캡슐제를 조사한 결과 Na-alginate와 K-carragenan은 bead 형성이 우수하게 나타났으며 캡슐내 생균수는 $5.3-7.4{\times}10^7cfu\;g^{-1}$로 gellan gum과 locust bean gum 등에 비하여 6배 이상 높은 생균수를 나타냈다. Na-alginate의 경우 캡슐이 매우 단단하고 매끄러웠으며, K-carragenan보다 7배 이상 저렴한 것으로 조사되었다. 이상 농업용 미생물제의 캡슐화 소재로서 Na-alginate를 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적이고 경제적이라 판단되었다. 농업용 미생물제의 캡슐화를 위한 최적의 캡슐화 소재로 1.5% 농도의 Na-alginate에 1.0% starch와 같은 안정제를 혼합하여 사용할 경우 생균력을 유지하는 데 보다 안정적이었다. 최적조건에서 형성된 캡슐의 형태를 관찰한 결과 캡슐의 표면구조는 매끈하고 규칙 바른 구형을 나타내었으며, 내부 구조는 비교적 균일한 polymatrix를 형성하였 으며 부분적으로 큰 공극을 형성하였다. 미세 캡슐 내 미생물 생존력을 유지하기 위한 캡슐막의 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 안정제로 저렴한 가격으로 구입이 용이한 starch와 zeolite를 이용하여 생균력 증진효과를 검토하였다. 세균을 이용한 미생물 캡슐체의 경우 starch와 zeolite 모두 약 70-80% 생균력을 나타내었으며, 효모의 경우 starch를 안정제로 이용한 경우 67%의 생균력을 나타내었으나 zeolite를 안정제로 첨가한 경우 80% 이상의 높은 생균력 증진을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 미생물을 캡슐화 할 경우 무기재료인 zeolite를 첨가할 경우 장기간 생균력 안정성이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다.
