미생물유래의 중합화효소(microbial transglutaminase, MTGase)를 이용하면 식품 단백질의 기능특성을 향상시키는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 MTGase를 이용, 동물성 단백질인 ${\beta}$-casein 및 식물성 단백질인 11S globulin의 동종 혹은 이종간을 bio-hybrid시킴으로써 단백질의 기능특성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 즉, SDS-PAGE에 의한 susceptibility 확인, particle size 분석 및 Reddy and Foster 방법에 의한 유화안정성(emulsion stability) 실험, 그리고 유화안정성에 영향을 주는 bio-hybrid된 단백질이 어떤 형태로서 안정성에 영향을 미치는지 주사형 전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 유적(oil droplet)에 결합된 단백질을 고배율로 분석하였다. SDS-PAGE에 의해 동종 흑은 이종의 단백질간의 가교결합이 형성되었으며, 특히 이종간의 결합은 그 밴드가 약하게 형성되었으며 oligomer의 형태를 나타내었다. 또한 유화안정성은 동종간에서는 ${\beta}$-casein이 우수하였으며, glycinin은 안정성이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 두 단백질 이종간의 안정성은 glycinin보다 더 우수하였다. 전자현미경 사진에서는 유적에 bio-hybrid된 단백질이 고르게 분포될수록 안정성이 더 우수한 것으로 판단되었다.

A thermodynamic model to predict the stability of the water-in-oil type emulsion and the size of the droplets in stable emulsions was developed. Using this model, the effects of various factors government the droplet size in the metal salt solution-kerosene-span 80 system for the preparation of Al2O3-ZrO2 composite powders were investigated. It was shown that the given emulsion systems were thermodynamically unstable in every case but could be kinetically meta stable. When radius ofthe droplet was below nm, the increase in entropy change due to the configurational contribution of small droplets dominated the total free energy change for emulsification. The optimum conditions under which smaller deoplet was obtained were proposed and the validity of the model was proved with diameters of the droplet and composite powders experimentally determined.

Encapsulation of L-ascorbic acid(AA) into BGsome was attempted to improve its stability. BGsome is a bio-compatible vesicular system prepared by dispersion of hydrated liquid crystalline phase formed through hydration of 1,3-butylene glycol(BG)-dissolved lecithin with an aqueous solution containing hydrophilic component. The characteristics of AA encapsulated BGsome, such as droplet size, surface charge, and solution appearance, was investigated. The concentration of AA solution had considerable effect on droplet size and surface charge of BGsome. Several tens nanometer droplet made by sonication treatment did not showed any change of size with storage time. Stability of AA was improved by encapsulation into BGsome, which was verified through DPPH test and HPLC assay.

Candelilla wax-in-water nanoemulsions stabilized by Span 80/Tween 80 were prepared by the phase inversion composition (PIC) method. Stable nanoemulsions with droplet diameters below 50 nm could be formed when the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values were between 13.5 and 14.5, surfactant concentration was 5.0 wt%, and the surfactant-wax ratio was 1:1. Increased emulsification temperature and cooling rate were found to improve the emulsion properties. Process of PIC (adding aqueous phase to the wax phase) produced smaller droplet size nanoemulsion compared to the process of adding wax phase to the aqueous phase. The stability of these nanoemulsions was assessed by following the change in droplet diameters with time of storage at room temperature (${\sim}25^{\circ}C$). The size remained constant during 2 months storage time.

The purpose of this study was to prepare stable water-in-corn oil (W/O) emulsion droplets coated by polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). W/O emulsions (20 wt% aqueous phase, 80 wt% oil phase containing 8 wt% PGPR) were produced by high pressure homogenization (Emulsions 1), however, appreciable amount of relatively large water droplets (d>$10{\mu}m$) were found. To facilitate droplet disruption, viscosity of each phase was adjusted: (i) increased the viscosity of aqueous phase by adding 0.1 wt% xanthan (Emulsions 2); (ii) decreased the viscosity of oil phase and aqueous phase by heating them separately at $50^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr immediately before emulsification (Emulsions 3). Homogenizing at the elevated temperature clearly led to a smaller water droplet size, whereas xanthan neither improved nor adversely affected on the microstructures of the emulsions. In addition, the Emulsions 3 had good stability to droplet aggregation under shearing stress, thermal processing, and long term storage.

In this study, the droplet size distribution, rheological properties, and stability of dairy cream-based emulsions homogenized with different sucrose fatty acid ester (SFAE, a non-ionic small-molecule emulsifier) concentrations (0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.24% w/w) at different homogenization pressures (10 MPa and 20 MPa) were examined. Homogenization at a high pressure resulted in a smaller droplet size and narrower droplet size distribution. The D[4,3] (volume-weighted mean) and D[3,2] (surface-weighted mean) values of the emulsions decreased with an increase in the SFAE concentration. The flow properties of the emulsions homogenized with SFAE showed shear-thinning (n=0.21-0.46) behavior. The apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,10}$) and consistency index (K) of the homogenized emulsions were lower than those of the control sample that is non-homogenized and without SFAE, and decreased with an increase in SFAE concentration. The storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") of all emulsions homogenized with SFAE were also lower than those of the control sample. The stability of all emulsions with SFAE did not show any significant change for 30 d at $5^{\circ}C$. However, the emulsions stored at $40^{\circ}C$ were unstable over the storage period. Therefore, the addition of SFAE enhanced the stability of dairy cream emulsions during storage at refrigeration temperature ($5^{\circ}C$).

Curcumin is a flavonoid found in the rhizome of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.) and has recently attracted interest because it has numerous biological functions and therapeutic properties. In the present study, we attempted to incorporate curcumin into medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) nanoemulsions (0.15 wt% curcumin, 10 wt% MCT oil, and 10 wt% emulsifiers) with various emulsifiers [polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween-20), sorbitan monooleate (SM), and soy lecithin (SL)]. The physicochemical properties of the nanoemulsions including the Ostwald ripening stability were investigated. The initial droplet size was found to be 89.08 nm for the nanoemulsion with 10 wt% Tween-20 (control), and when Tween-20 was partially replaced with SM and SL, the size decreased: 73.43 nm with 4 wt% SM+6 wt% Tween-20 and 67.68 nm with 4 wt% SL+6 wt% Tween-20 (prepared at 15,000 psi). When the nanoemulsions were stored for 28 days at room temperature, the droplet size increased as the storage time increased. The largest increase was observed for the control nanoemulsion, followed by the 4 wt% SL+6 wt% Tween-20 and 4 wt% SM+6 wt% Tween-20 systems. The Turbiscan dispersion stability results strongly supported the relationship between droplet size and storage time. The time-dependent increase in droplet size was attributed to the Ostwald ripening phenomenon. Thus, the Ostwald ripening stability of curcumin-loaded MCT nanoemulsions with Tween-20 was considerably improved by partially replacing the Tween-20 with SM or SL. In addition, curcumin may have acted as an Ostwald ripening inhibitor.

This study represents an assessment of the phase-Doppler technique to the measurements of dense droplet laden jet. High-pressure injection fuel sprays have been investigated to evaluate the use of the Phase-Doppler anemometry (PDA) technique. The critical issue is the stability of the phase-Doppler anemometry technique for dense droplet laden jet such as Diesel fuel spray in order to insure the results from the drop size and velocity measurements are repeatable, consistent, and physically realistic because the validation rate of experimental data is very low due to the thick optical density. The effect of shift frequency is minor, however, the photomultiplier tube (PMT) voltage setting is very sensitive to the data acquisition and noise in dense droplet laden jet. The optimum PMT voltage and shift frequency should be chosen so that the data such as volume flux and drop diameter do not change rapidly.

본 연구에서는 coconut oil과 Tween-Span계 비이온성 혼합계면활성제를 사용하여 제조한 O/W (oil in water) 유화액의 안정성에 영향을 끼치는 인자를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 비이온성 혼합계면활성제의 HLB value와 첨가량, 균질화 속도를 변수로 설정하여 제조한 O/W 유화액의 평균액적크기, 제타포텐셜, 유화안정도지수(ESI), 열적 불안정도지수(TII) 등으로부터 유화액의 안정성을 평가하였다. 제조한 O/W 유화액의 평균액적크기는 100~200 nm의 나노에멀젼으로서 비이온성 혼합계면활성제의 첨가량 및 균질화 속도가 증가함에 따라 평균액적크기는 감소하였으며, 제타포텐셜은 증가하였다. 비이온성 혼합계면활성제의 HLB value가 6.0, 10.0, 8.0 순으로 우수하게 나타났으며, HLB value가 8.0에서 제조한 유화액의 평균액적크기는 120 nm으로 가장 작고, 제타포텐셜은 40~60 mV로 가장 크게 나타났다. ESI 및 TII를 통한 안정성 평가는 HLB value가 6.0, 10.0, 8.0 순으로 안정성이 증가하였으며, HLB value가 8.0에서의 ESI 및 TII는 각각 80% 이상과 20% 이하로 가장 우수하게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 고압 균질기를 이용해 세라마이드가 포함된 나노에멀젼을 제조하고 물성변화 및 장기 안정성을 알아 보았다. 고압 균질기 압력 및 통과 횟수를 변화 시켜 제조된 나노에멀젼의 평균입자, 입도분포, 제타전위 그리고 점도를 측정하였다. 고압 균질기 압력이 높고 통과 횟수가 많을수록 평균입자는 작아지고 입도 분포는 조밀하였지만 일정 조건이상에서는 표면에너지 및 계면활성제의 영향으로 입자간 재결합이 확인되었다. 평균입자가 작을수록 점도 값은 높았지만 제타전위 값에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 제조된 나노에멀젼을 25 ℃와 45 ℃로 유지시키며 안정성을 측정한 결과, 초기(7일 이후)에 재결합 현상으로 평균입자가 커진 후 유지되었지만 제조된 나노에멀젼의 안정성에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 이를 통해 고압 균질기를 이용해 세라마이드가 포함된 안정적인 나노에멀젼의 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다.
