Since the condition of immobilization must be optimized, it is very important to know whether and on how conditions bacterial cells retain their metabolic activity during immobilization process. A bioluminescence intensity had the maximum value when cell concentrations were between 1.0 and 1.2 measured at O.D660. The strontium alginate was used as an immobilization matrix and two independent factors for immobilization of Photobacterium phosphoreum with strontium alginate were optimized with the response surface methodology(RSM) considering degree of bioluminescence. As a result, the optimum concentration for immobilization was found to be 2.4%(w/w) for sodium alginate and 0.31M for strontium chloride, respectively. A dilution was carried out with 2.5%(w/v) NaCl solution that is an optimum environmental condition for growth of P. phosphoreum. Under the such condition of immobilization, hardness could be predicted as 4.66$\times$104N/$m^2$ and it took different time according to the volume of matrix to be immobilized completely.

To improve water-resistance and physical properties of sodium alginate film, effects of sodium alginate and plasticizer concentrations, divalent cation types and concentrations, and immersion time of films into divalent cation solutions on sodium alginate films were evaluated, based on elongation strength (ES), elongation rate (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS). Film made from 1.5% sodium alginate solution (w/w) had low WVP and WS, which are optimal characteristics for application of film preparation. Addition of plasticizer increased E and WS. Less than 2% $CaCl_2$ addition and 15min immersion time reduced WVP, WS, and E significantly (p<0.05). Sodium alginate films treated with $CuCl_2$, and $ZnCl_2$ solutions had lower WVP and WS, whereas $MgCl_2$ had no influence on improving water resistance of films.

HWEM(hot-watele material ), WSA(water soluble alginate), ASA(alkali soluble alginate), AASA(acid alkali soluble alginate)의 네 가지 알긴산 추출방법을 이용해서 다시마(Laminaria religiosa), 미역(Undaria pinnatifida), 톳(Hizikia fusiforme)의 3가지 시료를 가지고 알긴산을 추출하여 수율을 알아본 결과 사용된 시료 중에서 AASA추출방법에 의한 미역에서의 알긴산 함량이 39.6%로 가장 우수하게 나타났으며 HWEM은 10.2∼18.6% 정도의 수율로 AASA 방법으로 얻은 수율보다 절반밖에 미치지 못하였다. 제조된 알긴산 분말의 색도는 다시마로부터 WSA추출법을 이용해서 제조한 알긴산의 ΔE값이 20.63으로 가장 밝게 나왔으며 추출에 사용된 모든 시료들에 있어서 WSA추출방법에 의한것이 밝은 색도를 가지며 ASA 추출방법을 이용해서 얻은 알긴산의 색도는 ΔE값이 75.31로 다른 것에 비해 어두운 색의 알긴산이 제조되었다. AASA 추출방법에서 3% $Na_2$CO$_3$ 농도에서 37.1%로 높은 수율을 얻을 수 있었으며, H$_2$SO$_4$의 농도를 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 N로 변화시켜서 추출한 결과는 0.4 NH$_2$SO$_4$에서 34.9%의 높은 수율을 나타냈다. 톳에서 추출한 알긴산의 점도는 상업용에 비해 훨씬 낮은 점도를 나타내었으며 ASA추출 방법에 의해 얻어진 알긴산의 점도가 WSA에 의한 것보다 높은 점성을 나타내었다.

With a new method of applying chitosan and alginate onto cellulose, multi-coated cotton fabrics with chitosan and alginate were prepared and characterized. To coat cotton with chitosan, raw cotton was dipped in chitosan solution, mangled of 1kgf/$cm^2$, neutralized in 2 wt% NaOH soluton, washed, and dried at $60^{\circ}C$ oven. The chitosan-coated fiber was dipped in sodium alginate solution, 1kgf/$cm^2$ mangled, neutralized in 2 wt% $CaCl_2$ solution, washed, and dried at $60^{\circ}C$ oven, resulting in CCAC(coated cotton with chitosan and calcium alginate skin) fiber characteristics. Excellent absorbancy of distilled water and saline solution was observed by the absorption test on cotton fabric treated with CCAC(0.5 wt% calcium alginate) and 0.5 wt% calcium alginate respectively. The SEM photograph confirmed the uniform coating on the cotton fabric surface.

Changes in gluten surface hydrophobicity, which play an important role in the functional characteristics of protein, were measured according to various protein concentrations, pH levels, electrolytes concentrations, and alginate molecular weights using 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid (ANS) as a fluorescent probe. Gluten surface hydrophobicity decreased as gluten concentration increased, reaching a maximum pH of 7.0. The effects of alginate molecular weights and alginate concentration on the surface hydrophobicity, emulsifying activity index (EAI), and emulsion stability index (ESI) of gluten-sodium alginate dispersion (GAD) were measured. Gluten surface hydrophobicity rapidly increased the asl NaCl concentration of gluten solution up to 300 mM and showed no significant increase above 300 mM. However, gluten surface hydrophobicity notably decreased until the concentration of CaCl₂ and MgCl₂ reached 30 mM, indicating no significant variations above 30 mM. GAD surface hydrophobicity increased as the concentration and molecular weight of sodium alginate increased, however, gluten concentration increased as the GAD surface hydrophobicity decreased. The EAI and ESI of GAD increased as both molecular weight and concentration of sodium alginate increased.

In this study, a series of highly swelling hydrogels based on sodium alginate (NaAlg) and polymethacryl­amide (PMAM) was prepared through free radical polymerization. The graft copolymerization reaction was performed in a homogeneous medium and in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N,N'-methylenebis­acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The crosslinked graft copolymer, alginate-graft-polymethacrylamide (Alg-g­PMAM), was then partially hydrolyzed by NaOH solution to yield a hydrogel, hydrolyzed alginate-graft-poly­methacrylamide (H-Alg-g-PMAM). During alkaline hydrolysis, the carboxamide groups of Alg-g-PMAM were converted into hydrophilic carboxylate anions. Either the Alg-g-PMAM or the H-Alg-g-PMAM was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of the grafting variables (i.e., concentration of MBA, MAM, and APS) and the alkaline hydrolysis conditions (i.e., NaOH concentration, hydrolysis time, and temperature) were optimized systematically to achieve a hydrogel having the maximum swelling capacity. Measurements of the absorbency in various aqueous salt solutions indicated that the swelling capacity decreased upon increasing the ionic strength of the swelling medium. This behavior could be attributed to a charge screening effect for monovalent cations, as well as ionic cross-linking for multivalent cations. Because of the high swelling capacity in salt solutions, however, the hydrogels might be considered as anti-salt superabsorbents. The swelling behavior of the superabsorbing hydrogels was also measured in solutions having values of pH ranging from 1 to 13. Furthermore, the pH reversibility and on/off switching behavior, measured at pH 2.0 and 8.0, suggested that the synthesized hydrogels were excellent candidates for the controlled delivery of bioactive agents. Finally, we performed preliminary investigations of the swelling kinetics of the synthesized hydrogels at various particle sizes.

본 연구는 갈색 해조류로부터 추출한 alginate를 사용하여 제조한 Ag-alginate에 대한 최적의 은 첨가량을 구하여 항균성능을 측정하고, 기존의 상품으로 판매되고 있는 항균제의 성능과 비교하였다. 포도상구균과 대장균의 성장은 pH 7에서 가장 활발하였으며, 포도상구균은 pH에 매우 민감하였으나, 대장균은 pH 변화에 대한 저항력을 어느 정도 나타내었다. 포도상구균은 배양 초기에 일정기간의 사장시간 (dead time)이 경과한 후 급격하게 성장하였고, 대장균은 약 20분 이내의 사장시간이 경과한 후 완만하게 성장하였다. 해조류로부터 추출한 alginate를 정제하여 제조한 Ag-alginate의 경우, 포도상구균 및 대장균에 대해서 $0.006\;wt.{\%}$ 은을 첨가한 배양액에서 우수한 항균성능을 나타내었으며, 포도상구균보다 대장균에 대하여 더 강한 항균력을 나타내었다. 그러나 미역 및 다시마로부터 추출한 alginate를 정제하지 않고 제조된 Ag-alginate의 경우, 포도상구균 및 대장균에 대한 항균성능은 현저하게 감소되었다. 국내에서 수입되어 항균섬유용으로 많이 사용되고 있는 Agzeolite계 제품의 항균력과 비교하여도 유사한 항균성능을 나타내고 있으므로 Ag-alginate는 수술용 봉합사, band, gauze, 붕대 등과 같은 의료용 섬유에 사용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Novel mixed matrix membranes of Sodium Alginate (NaAlg) were developed by the incorporation ofunmodified, modified Phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) then cross-linked with glutaraldehyde externally. These membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. Pervaporation (PV) experiments have been performed with pure NaAlg, unmodified NaAlg-PMA5, NaAlg-PMA10, modified NaAlg-mPMA5, and NaAlg-mPMA10 (wt. % of PMA 5 and 10) at 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$, to separate water-isopropanol feed mixtures containing 10-30 wt. % of water. Pervaporation results of NaAlg-mPMA10 produced a highest separation factor of 9028 with a flux of $0.269kg/m^2.h$ for 10 wt. % of water containing feed mixture. Both separation factor and flux for water increased significantly with increasing content of mPMA into NaAlg; a significant improvement in PV performance was observed for NaAlg-mPMA5 and NaAlg-mPMA10 membranes when compared to pure NaAlg& PMA-5, PMA-10 membrane.

Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was studied for its increasing stability by encapsulation, using 2, 3, and 4% sodium alginate. In these cases, 3% alginate resulted in the maximum survival of B. polyfermenticus SCD in artificial gastric juice for 3 h. Effects of several biopolymers on the encapsulated B. polyfermenticus SCD by 3% sodium alginate were investigated. Encapsulation with 0.5% methylcellulose showed the highest survival rate for 3 h in artificial gastric juice. Therefore, the optimized encapsulation material was 3% alginate with 0.5% methylcellulose. Furthermore, the survival of encapsulated B. polyfermenticus SCD was shown to be 122%, when 1% bile salt was added. Freeze-dried encapsulation resulted in lower survival than with non-dried encapsulation. Therefore, encapsulation was the most effective when 3% sodium alginate was used with 0.5% methylcellulose, but without freeze-drying.
