This study was carried out to investigate the in vitro and in vivo moisturizing properties and percutaneous absorption of PEG-impregnated Aloe vera gel. The PEG-i-Aloe gel was obtained from dewatering and impregnation by soaking (DIS) of Aloe vera leaf slice. The moisturizing property of the obtained sample was evaluated by moisture determination using gravimetric method in desiccator under different RH% and by water sorption-desorption test on human skin. The transdermal penetration characteristics of PEG-i-Aloe gel was investigated by Franz diffusion cell in vitro transdermal absorption method. PEG-i-Aloe gel had high moisture retention ability and could significantly lead the enhancing skin hydration status as well as reducing the skin water loss due to the film formation as a skin barrier. The skin penetration rate of PEGi- Aloe gel at steady state was 9.76 ${\mu}g/(h{\cdot}cm^2)$ and the quantity of the transdermal absorption was 144 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ in 9 hr. The penetration mechanism was well fitted with Higuchi model ($R^2$ = 0.974-0.994). The results show that PEG-i-Aloe gel has the significant moisturizing effect and strong penetration of the animal skin. It could be used as the moisturizing additive in cosmetic skin products.

In this study, the Opuntia humifusa f. jeollaensis (Wanggasi-Chunnyuncho) fruit (WCF) was used as a source of viscous dietary fiber and color pigmentation in sausage production to improve quality characteristics, including cooking loss and emulsion stability. Control and treatment sausages were formulated with 0%, 1%, 5%, and 10% WCF powder, respectively, and the following quality measures were investigated: general composition, fiber content, cooking loss, emulsion stability, chromaticity, pH, texture, and sensory properties. The moisture, dietary fiber, and ash contents showed increasing trends (all p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of fruit powder. Conversely, crude protein and crude fat contents exhibited decreasing trends with increasing fruit powder concentrations (p<0.05). Moreover, both the moisture and dietary fiber contents affected cooking loss, water retention capacity, and the sausage texture, causing the cooking loss to decrease, while the water and oil retention capacity increased (p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of WCF powder. Furthermore, hardness exhibited a significant decreasing trend as the concentration of WCF powder increased (p<0.05). This finding suggested that both dietary fiber and viscous materials, along with the protein and moisture content, affected the product hardness. In addition, sensory evaluation of the WCF powder groups showed better results than did the control group, and the strongest results obtained for the group containing 5% fruit powder (p<0.05). Therefore, this study suggests that WCF powder improves the quality of emulsified sausages and can potentially be applied as a naturally-derived additive.

Texture hardening of Yackwa during storage is the major quality deterioration of Yackwa. In this study the effects of gellan gum and xanthan gum on texture hardening of Yackwa during storage were studied. Instrumental hardness and sensory evaluation results showed that addition of 0.05 % and 0.1 % of gellan gum or 0.1 % and 0.5 % of xanthan gum significantly decreased the hardness of Yackwa by 32 ∼ 63 % after 4 weeks of storage. Retardation of texture hardening was obtained even at the 0.05 % level of gellan gum, indicating that gellan gum was a more potent texture modifier for Yackwa than xanthan gum. Correlation analysis between moisture content and hardness of Yackwa showed that there was high correlation between moisture content and hardness of Yackwa after 4 weeks storage ($r^2$=-0.998), regardless of the initial moisture content. These results suggest that retardation of texture hardening during storage is primarily related to moisture retention of Yackwa during storage.

This study examines the effects of different cooking methods (stir-frying, steaming, superheated-steaming) on the contents and the true retention of moisture, water-soluble vitamins, and bioactive compounds of ten selected vegetables: broccoli, brussels sprout, cabbage, eggplant, green bean, onion, red cabbage, red onion, squash, and tomato. The total color difference (𝚫E) values were decreased after stir-frying the samples, except for eggplant, green bean, and tomato. The true retention of water-soluble vitamins (B₁, B₂, B₃, and C) was increased in most vegetables after superheated-steaming, as compared to steaming and stir-frying. Moreover, compared to the uncooked vegetables, a higher true retention of total polyphenol and flavonoid was obtained for most vegetables subsequent to superheated-steaming. Total anthocyanin content was detected only in eggplant, red cabbage, and red onion, and a smaller loss of anthocyanin was determined after subjecting red cabbage to superheated-steaming. Also, the free radical scavenging activities were higher in superheated-steaming vegetables, except in eggplant and squash. These results indicate that superheated-steaming induces a positive effect for retaining water-soluble vitamins and functional components of vegetables.

Relationship between the optimum soil water content and clay content on soil samples from mid-latitude European forest was tested. Soil samples from 4 different experimental sites (two forest sites in the Netherlands and a Danish forest) were collected, and analyzed for the soil physical and chemical characteristics. Water retention curves for the soil samples were determined according to the standard procedure ISO 11274, and pF decreased with increase in soil water contents. NO is simultaneously produced and consumed by microbiological processes, which comprise of nitrification and denitrification. NO consumption and production rates were determined from the soil samples and compared to their corresponding water retention curves in order to find the optimum soil water content and matric potential for maximum NO release from mid-latitude soils. NO consumption rate coefficient (k) in Hollandse Hout was significantly lower than those in other soil sites. Maximum NO production was observed at an intermediate soil moisture ($0.2{\sim}0.3kg/kg$) in all the soil samples. Resulting from the NO consumption and production rates for the soils, the empirical NO fluxes of the different soils were calculated in the laboratory.

In this study the optimal volume for non-point source control retention is estimated considering spatio-temporal variation of land surface. The 3-parameter mixed exponential probability density function is used to represent the statistical properties of rainfall events, and NRCS-CN method is applied as rainfall-runoff transformation. The catchment drainage area is divided into individual $30m{\times}30m$ cells, and runoff curve number is estimated at each cell. Using the derived probability density function theory, the stormwater probability density function at each cell is derived from the rainfall probability density function and NRCS-CN rainfall-runoff transformation. Considering the antecedent soil moisture condition at each cell and the spatial variation of CN value at the whole catchment drainage area, the ensemble stormwater capture curve is established to estimate the optimal volume for an non-point source control retention. The comparison between spatio-temporally varied land surface and constant land surface is presented as a case study for a urban drainage area.

Microencapsulation of flavor was carried out by molecular inclusion process using $\beta$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}CD$). ${\beta}CD$-flavor complex was prepared at various flavor-to-${\beta}CD$ ratios (1:6-1:12) to determine the effect of ${\beta}CD$ concentration on the inclusion efficiency. Maximum total oil retention and minimal surface oil content were obtained at flavors to ${\beta}CD$ ratio of 1:10. The physical properties and controlled release pattern of flavors from ${\beta}CD$-flavor complex were measured and compared with spray-dried microcapsules prepared using carbohydrate wall system. ${\beta}CD$-flavor complex showed higher total oil retention and surface oil contents, smaller mean particle size, lower moisture uptake, and higher oxidation stability than spray-dried microcapsule. Oxidative stability of flavor was correlated with hygroscopicity of wall materials. The controlled release mechanism was highly affected by temperature and characteristics of wall materials.

본 연구는 몽골 반건조 지역 현지에서 토양 개량이 묘목의 활착 및 생장에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 알칼리성 사질 토양인 연구대상지에 2년생 백양나무(Populus sibirica)와 비술나무(Ulmus pumila) 묘목을 심고 질소(시비량에 따라 2수준), 황, 인공보습제, 황토가공소재 등을 처리하였다. 4개월 뒤, 두 수종의 묘목 활착률은 질소 시비량의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 일반적으로 질소의 시비는 양분을 공급하여 묘목의 활착률 및 생장을 높이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 본 연구 결과에서 나타난 활착률 감소는 과다시비로 인한 토양 삼투압의 증가에 의한 것으로 보인다. 두 수종 모두 황토가공물질 처리구에서 근원경 생장에 유의한 증가가 나타났다. 그리고 백양나무의 경우 인공보습제 처리구에서도 근원경 생장이 유의하게 증가하였는데, 이는 백양나무가 건조에 내성이 있음에도 불구하고 수분 요구도가 높은 포플러속에 속하기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 반면 황 처리는 두 수종의 활착률과 근원경 생장 모두에서 효과가 없는 경향이 나타났는데, 이는 건조지 토양의 낮은 황산화율 때문으로 추정된다. 향후 건조/반건조 지역에서 토양 개량의 장기적인 효과를 알아보기 위하여 묘목 생장 및 토양 특성에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 요구되며, 연구 수종에 적합한 시비량 산정을 위한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

팽연왕겨(ERH)가 혼합된 상토를 이용하여 '설향' 딸기를 육묘하면서 용기 내 수분보유 특성, 그리고 모주 및 자묘의 생장에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 용기용수량 상태의 수분 함량은 팽연왕겨가 20-23% 범위로 딸기전용상토 60-66%, 양질사토 30-35% 및 마사토 30-34%와 비교할 때 매우 낮았다. 수분 함량은 관수 8시간 후에 10-12%로 급격히 낮아졌으며 연결포트의 각 셀당 수분편차가 크게 나타났다. ERH와 코이어 더스트(CD), 사양토(SL), 펄라이트(PL) 그리고 마사토(SMM)의 4종류 물질을 혼합하여 조제한 모든 상토는 pH 6.7-7.1, EC $0.03-0.08dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 범위로 측정되었고, 관수 20일과 40일 후에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 자묘의 생육은 혼합상토 중 ERH + SL(55:45, v/v)에서 가장 우수하였다. ERH + CD 상토의 경우 CD의 혼합비율이 30% 이상일 때 생육이 저조한 경향을 보였고, ERH + PE는 혼합 상토 중 지상부와 근권부 생육이 가장 저조하였다. 팽연왕겨가 혼합된 상토에 정식한 모주의 생육은 정식 30일 후 ERH + PE와 ERH + CD 모두 PE + CD(50:50, v/v) 상토보다 저조하였다. 모주정식 90일 후의 생육은 ERH + CD 상토는 CD의 혼합 비율이 높을수록 생육이 우수하였지만 정식 30일 후와 유사한 경향을 보였고, PE + CD(50:50, v/v)보다 저조하였다. 본 연구결과는 팽연왕겨를 포함한 혼합상토 조성과 이를 이용한 육묘과정의 수분 관리에 관한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
