호화된 쌀 전분 젤의 creep 거동을 농도($30{\sim}45%$)와 온도($20{\sim}85^{\circ}C$)를 달리하여 측정하였으며 전분 젤의 점탄성에 미치는 온도와 농도의 영향은 shift factor($a_{T},\;a_{C}$)를 이용하여 분석하였다. Compression creep test의 결과 쌀 전분 젤은 순간변형 부분, 지연탄성 부분 및 유동부분으로 구성된 6-element의 역학적 모델로 해석할 수 있었으며 점탄성 거동은 순간변형 부분이 주체를 이루었다. 전분 농도가 $30{\sim}45%$로 증가함에 따라 creep compliance는 감소하였고 농도 증가는 주로 순간변형 부분에 영향을 미쳤다. 각 농도에서의 total compliance는 shift factor($a_{C}$)를 이용하여 일정한 기준농도(38%)로 변환시켜 농도불변 곡선으로 정확히 나타낼 수 있었다. 온도를 $20{\sim}85^{\circ}C$로 조절하여 얻은 creep compliance는 온도의 증가에 따라 증가하여 젤의 조직이 점점 연화되었다. $20^{\circ}C$를 기준온도로 shift factor($a_{T}$)에 의해 각 온토에서의 단편적 total compliance 곡선을 log(t)에 대해 수평이동시키면 전반적으로 부드럽게 연결되는 master curve를 얻을 수 있었으므로 시간-온도 환산법칙이 잘 성립되었다. 수정된 WLF식을 이용하여 $a_{T}$의 온도 의존성을 분석한 결과 전분 젤의 활성화에너지는 일정하지 않고 온도의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며, 공유결합에 의해 망상구조를 이루는 다른 젤들에 비해 그 값이 상대적으로 작았다.

Purpose: Poloxamer 407 (P407) thermo-sensitive hydrogel formulations were developed to enhance the retention time in the urinary bladder after intravesical instillation. Materials and Methods: P407 hydrogels (P407Gels) containing 0.2 w/w% fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FD, MW 4 kDa) as a fluorescent probe were prepared by the cold method with different concentrations of the polymer (20, 25, and 30 w/w%). The gel-forming capacities were characterized in terms of gelation temperature (G-Temp), gelation time (G-Time), and gel duration (G-Dur). Homogenous dispersion of the probe throughout the hydrogel was observed by using fluorescence microscopy. The in vitro bladder simulation model was established to evaluate the retention and drug release properties. P407Gels in the solution state were administered to nude mice via urinary instillation, and the in vivo retention behavior of P407Gels was visualized by using an in vivo imaging system (IVIS). Results: P407Gels showed a thermo-reversible phase transition at $4^{\circ}C$ (refrigerated; sol) and $37^{\circ}C$ (body temperature; gel). The G-Temp, G-Time, and G-Dur of FD-free P407Gels were approximately $10^{\circ}C-20^{\circ}C$, 12-30 seconds, and 12-35 hours, respectively, and were not altered by the addition of FD. Fluorescence imaging showed that FD was spread homogenously in the gelled P407 solution. In a bladder simulation model, even after repeated periodic filling-emptying cycles, the hydrogel formulation displayed excellent retention with continuous release of the probe over 8 hours. The FD release from P407Gels and the erosion of the gel, both of which followed zero-order kinetics, had a linear relationship ($r^2=0.988$). IVIS demonstrated that the intravesical retention time of P407Gels was over 4 hours, which was longer than that of the FD solution (<1 hour), even though periodic urination occurred in the mice. Conclusions: FD release from P407Gels was erosion-controlled. P407Gels represent a promising system to enhance intravesical retention with extended drug delivery.

This study was carried out to determine the quality characteristics of Jeju mandarin orange jellies containing sugar (control) and sugar derivative sweeteners (erythritol, isomaltooligosaccharide, sorbitol, and xylitol) to be consumed by the elderly. The gelling agents were carrageenan and gellan gum at the concentration of 0.27%, respectively. The average age of the subjects for the acceptance test was 78. The lightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) values of the carrageenan gel were higher than those of the gellan gum gel using the same sugars. The L, a, and b values of the carrageenan gel made with sugar derivative sweeteners were higher than those of the respective gel made with sugar. Whereas there were almost no differences between the color values of the gellan gum gels made with sugar and sugar derivative sweeteners, respectively. The gelling and melting temperatures of the carrageenan gel with erythritol were highest and those of the respective gel with xylitol were lowest among the sugar derivative sweeteners. The gelling and melting temperatures of the gellan gum gels with erythritol and isomaltooligosaccharide, respectively, were lower, and those of the respective gel made with xylitol were higher compared to that with sugar. There was no break down in the gellan gum gel. The break down rate of the carrageenan gel made with isomaltooligosaccharide was highest and that of the respective gel with xylitol was lowest among the sugar derivative sweeteners. The hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness of the gellan gum gel were greater compared to the carrageenan gel. The adhesiveness levels of the carrageenan gels made with sugar derivative sweeteners were lower, and their springiness was higher than the respective gel with sugar. All the TPA characteristics of the gellan gum gels made with erythritol and xylitol, respectively, were higher than the respective gel with sugar. The rupture properties of the gels were the same as their TPA characteristics. The sensory acceptance of the carrageenan and gellan gum gels made with sugar were highest among all the sweeteners. There were no significant differences in the sensory acceptance scores of the carrageenan gels made with xylitol, erythritol, and sugar, respectively, and there were also no significant differences in the sensory acceptance scores of the gellan gum gels made with xylitol, sorbitol, and sugar, respectively. Xylitol was preferred in both the carrageenan and gellan gum gels. Thus, xylitol appears to be an appropriate alternative sweetener to sugar in Jeju mandarin orange jelly for consumption by the elderly, with regard to the acceptability and stability of the gel.

Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal agent to inhibit most fungal pathogens. However, it is difficult for itraconazloe to be delivered by topical system due to its poor aqueous solubility. First, niosomes containing drug were prepared with span 60, cholesterol. tocopherol and poloxamer 407 as vesicle forming agents in an effort to increase solubility of itraconazole. And then prepared niosomes were dispersed in O/W creams (containing xanthan gum, glycerin, vaseline, glyceryl monostearate and $Cerix^{\circledR}-5$) or gels (containing xanthan gum and poloxamer 407). Both creams and gels were evaluated with respect to their rheological properties, in vitro permeation through excised skin of hairless mouse. Creams or gels containing niosome showed pseudoplastic flow and hysteresis loop. For both creams and gels, viscosity was increased with increasing the content of glycerine or vaseline and the content of gel forming polymer, respectively. In creams, the permeability of drug to skin was decreased with increasing the viscosity of cream. The permeability of drug was affected by pH as well as viscosity of gel. In vitro permeation test results demonstrated that cream formulations showed better permeability than gels. In conclusion, these results suggest that creams formulation containing niosome can be useful for the topical delivery of intraconazole.

조전분 농도 및 침지 시일을 달리한 토토리묵의 관능적 특성은 다음과 같다. 묵의 갈색 정도, 단단한 정도, 응집성, 생도토리의 향미 및 떫은 느낌은 조전분 농도가 높을수록, 또 침시 시일이 짧을수록 크게 나타났고 묵의 투명도는 조전분 농도가 클수록 감소되었으나 침지 시일에 따른 변화는 크지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과 조전분 농도가 크거나 침지 시일이 짧을수록 묵의 응집성이 커서 바람직하지만 묵이 갖는 단단한 정도, 생도토리의 향미나 떫은 느낌은 식품으로서의 품질을 저하 시킬 수 있고 아울러 재료의 경제성을 고려할 때 침지 시일을 8일로 하고 조전분 농도를$8{\sim}10%$로 하여 이를 묵 제조의 적정 조건으로 제시 하고자 한다.

A non-hydrolytic sol-gel process was developed to fabricate low-hydroxyl hard gels. The reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with silicon halides provided transparent low-hydroxyl hard gels. Some properties such as transparency, density, and refractive index was successfully doped into the hard gel matrices. The absorption spectrum of an erbium-doped methylsilsesquioxane was investigated to decide the pumping wavelength of an argon laser. The luminescence of the erbium-doped gel at 664 nm seems to be due to $4^F{9/2}\to 4^I_{15/2}$ transition.

Rheological properties of cowpea and mung bean starch gels and pastes were investigated and compared with Instron Universal Testing machine and Brabender Viscometer. As the result of puncture test of gels, yield point force of mung bean starch gel was higher than that of cowpea starch gel. Compression coefficient of cowpea starch gel calculated by Bourne's equation was lower than that of mung bean starch gel. the stress relaxation test showed that viscoelastic properties of cowpea and mung bean starch gels may be represented by six element Maxwell model consisting of three Maxwell element in parallel. Cowpea and mung bean starch pastes showed bingham pseudoplastic behavior in 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8%. The consistency index in 7∼8% of cowpea starch paste were lower than those of mung bean starch paste. concentration dependence on consistency index and yield stress in mung bean starch were higher than those of cowpea starch. The yield stress of starch pastes was significantly correlated with yield point force by puncture test (r=0.996).

Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) on cowpea and mung bean starch gels was performed with the Instron and the effect of the degree of compression on TPA parameters measured. Fracturability was almost independent of the degree of compression. hardness usually increased with increasing compression. Cohesiveness and chewiness decreased for mung bean starch gel as compression increases. Springiness in two starch gels increased a little from 55% to 65% compression and then decreased from 75% to 95% compression. Gumminess for mung bean starch gels decreased steeply from 55% to 75% compression, then it increased moderately up to 95% compression. Since the TPA parameters vary so widely with degree of compression, all TPA measurements should standardize the degree of compression.
