The objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of low-nitrite emulsified-sausages (ESs, < 75 ppm) containing paprika oleoresin solution (POS) for replacing sodium nitrite (NaNO2). Pork ESs were prepared with four treatments (reference (REF), 150 ppm NaNO2; TRT1, 0 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS; TRT2, 37.5 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS; and TRT3, 75 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS). The physicochemical and texture properties, microbial counts, residual nitrite and thiobarbituric acid reactant substances (TBARS) were measured during refrigerated storage of 35 days. Although TRT2 and TRT3 had lower levels of NaNO2, they had higher redness and yellowness than REF (p < 0.05). Microbial counts of total bacterial counts and Enterobacteriaceae of TRT2 and TRT3 were similar to those of REF (p > 0.05). Expressible moisture percentages (EM, %) of TRT2 and TRT3 were lower than those of REF (p < 0.05). TBARS values of TRT2 and TRT3 were not different from those of REF (p > 0.05). Among treatments, TRT1 had the highest TBARS values (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 0.1% POS in combination with 37.5 ppm NaNO2 would have quality characteristics similar to those of REF. Therefore, approximately 3/4 of the initial nitrite level could be replaced with 0.1% POS, and eventually developed healthier pork products.

Bentonite is the most probable candidate to be used as a buffer in a deep geological repository with high swelling properties, hydraulic conductivity, thermal conductivity, and radionuclide sorption ability. Among them, the radionuclide sorption ability prevents or delays the transport of radionuclides into the nearby environment when an accident occurs and the radionuclide leaks from the canister, so it needs to be strengthened in terms of long-term disposal safety. Here, we proposed a surface modification method in which some inorganic additives were added to form NaP zeolite on the surface of the bentonite yielded at Yeonil, South Korea. We confirmed that the NaP zeolite was well-formed on the bentonite surface, which also increased the sorption efficiency of Cs and Sr from groundwater conditions. Both NaP and NaX zeolite can be produced and we have demonstrated that the generation mechanism of NaX and NaP is due to the number of homogeneous/heterogeneous nucleation sites and the number of nutrients supplied from an aluminosilicate gel during the surface modification process. This study showed the potential of surface modification on bentonite to enhance the safety of deep geological radioactive waste repository by improving the radionuclide sorption ability of bentonite.

The pH dependence of sorption distribution coefficient (Kd) of Np(IV) on MX-80 in Ca-Na-Cl type solution with the ionic strength of 0.3 M, which was similar to one of the reference groundwaters in crystalline rock, was experimentally investigated under the reducing conditions. The overall trend of Kd on MX-80 was independent of pH at 5 ≤ pH ≤ 10 but increased as pH increased at pH ≤ 5. The 2-site protolysis non-electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange model was applied to the experimentally measured pH dependence of Kd and the optimized surface complexation constants of Np(IV) sorption on MX-80 were estimated. The values of surface complexation constants in this work agreed relatively well with those in the Na-Ca-Cl solution previously evaluated, suggesting that compared to Na+, the competition of Ca2+ with Np(IV) for surface complexation on MX-80 was not much strong in Ca-Na-Cl solution. The sorption model well predicted the pH dependence of Kd values but slightly overestimated the sorption at the low pH region.

A new chromoionophore sym-(decyl)(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyloxy)-dibenzo-16-crown-5 (1) has been synthesized for $Na^+$ photometry in aqueous media. Apparent $pK_a$ values of 1 in the presence of 0.10 M LiCl, NaCl, and KCl were measured by spectrophotometry in 50% 1,4-dioxane-50% water (v/v) and compared with the $pK_a$ of 8.68 in the presence of 0.10 M TMACl. A significant $pK_a$ shift to a lower pH was only observed for $Na^+$ (${\Delta}pH=1.31$) due to selective binding of 1 with $Na^+$. Based upon this $pK_a$ shift, chromoionophore 1 was found to selectively respond to $Na^+$ with a detection limit of $10^{-3}M$ and no interference from $K^+$ up to 0.05 M for detection of 10.0 mM $Na^+$ in 50% 1,4-dioxane-50% water (v/v).

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the removal characteristics of COD, Ni, and P and to derive appropriate operating conditions for the plating wastewater according to NaOCl reaction time and pH operating conditions in the BPC unit process during the plating wastewater treatment process. As a results of evaluating the removal characteristics for raw wastewater by each BPC unit process, the removal efficiencies of COD, Ni and P in BPC 1-1 unit process were 72.8%, 99.1%, and 100.0%. Therefore, the proper reaction time of NaOCl was derived as 21.1 minutes. In order to maintain the +800 mV ORP and the reaction time of 20 minutes, the temporary injection and continuous injection of NaOCl in the BPC unit process were 13.7 mL and 18.7 mL, respectively. It was found that the temporary injection method of NaOCl reduced the chemical cost by 36.5% compared to the continuous injection method. Also, Ni showed the highest removal efficiency of 97.8% at pH 10.5. On the other hand, P showed a removal efficiency of 57.4% at pH 10.0.

The halophile, Micrococcus sp. which produces RNase was isolated from salted and fermented food. The optimum growth condition of the Micrococcus sp. in pH 7.0 of complex medium containing 2M NaCl, and at $35^{\circ}C$. Optimum condition for enzyme production by this strain was when it was grown in the CM medium, containing 2% yeast extract, 1.5% casamino acid and 2M NaCl in the initial pH 8.5 for 2 days. The maximal RNase activity was observed at pH 8.0 and $55^{\circ}C$. The Km value for RNA was determined to be 5mg/ml by Lineweaver-Burk plot. The RNase activity in the absence of NaCl was maximum, but it was completely lost by adding of 1.25M NaCl and it was increased above 1.25M to 2.5M NaCl. When 2.5M NaCl was added, the activity of RNase showed 45% of maximum value.

The effects of $NaHCO_3$ on the electrocardiogram of rats were studied in the induced hyperkalemia. The subjects were divided into 4 groups: the group 1 was normal control and the data on this normal control had teen obtained from the following three groups before administration of KCl or $NaHCO_3$, the group 2 (KCl) was administered 40 ml per kg body weight of the 10 per cent KCl solution, the group 3 $(NaHCO_3)$ was administered 40 ml per kg body weight of the 10 per cent $NaHCO_3$ solution, and the group 4 $(KCl+NaHCO_3)$ was received 10 per cent KCl, which was followed by administration of 10 per cent $NaHCO_3$ at one and half hours later. In KCl, the heart rate was decreased rapidly, and then maintained its level, later rapid decreasing heart rate was followed by the cardiac stand still. The mean electrical axis of QRS complex became progressively deviated to the left. The amplitude of T wave was increased transiently but was not changed thereafter. There was prolongation of the P-Q interval and the Q-T interval at the beginning and then they were shortened. In $NaHCO_3$, the heart rate was decreased rapidly at the beginning, later showed a tendency of recovery. The mean electrical axis of QRS was not changed initially, but later became deviated to the left. The amplitude of T wave was not changed. There was prolongation of the P-Q interval and the Q-T interval at the beginning and then they were shortened. In $KCl+NaHCO_3$, there were a tendency of recovery of both the amplitude of the T wave and the electrical axis of the QRS complex after administration of $NaHCO_3$ but the heart rate was not recovered. There was prolonged P-Q interval, but the Q-T interval was relatively unchanged.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl, pH and phosphate on the functional properties of a mixed system of plasma protein and myofibrillar proteins. The solubility of plasma protein, myofibrillar protein and the mixture (plasma+myofibrillar protein) increased according to the increase of NaCl concentration ($0{\sim}4%$) and pH $pH4{\sim}8$). The solubility, emulsifying activity and capacity of the mixture were lower than those of plasma protein, whereas higher than those of myofibrillar protein. The gel strength of the mixture and myofibrillar protein showed a significant increase when NaCl concentration was increased from 2 to 3%. The gel strength of myofibrillar protein increased about four times when 0.3% polyphosphate added to the sample containing 2% NaCl, whereas the moisture loss of the mixture and myofibrillar protein decreased significantly. The gel strength of plasma protein, myofibrillar protein and the mixture increased slightly at $3{\sim}5%$ protein concentration, whereas the gel strength of those increased significantly as the protein concentration increased from 5 to 9%.
