Vitamin A palmitate, an oily drug which has low chemical stability and is poorly absorbed in the intestine, was formulated into a novel powdered dosage form. This is designated as a redispersible dry emulsion by freeze-drying technique. Before preparing a dry emulsion, vitamin A palmitate oil in solid in water (O/S/W) emulsion with soybean oil and coconut oil using Aerosil 200 as an emulsion stabilizer and polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-blockcopolymer (Pluronic F68) as a surfactant was prepared. The resultants of the stability tests indicated that vitamin A palmitate O/S/W emulsion was improved on increasing the oil content of the formulation. The resultant dry emulsion particles have a good stabilities and free flow properties and readily released the oily droplets to form stable emulsions on rehydration. The drug releasing property from the resultant dry emulsion particles was dependent on factors such as amount of oily carrier(soybean oil) and surfactant(Pluronic F68) formulated. Above 80% of vitamin A palmitate content was released from the dry emulsion for 1 hour. It was deduced that vitamin A palmitate dry emulsion was definitely suitable for oral administration, since small droplets of vitamine A palmitate from the dry emulsion may alter the drug absorption profile resulting in bioavailability enhancement.

This study investigated the hygroscopicity and UV deterioration characteristics of 3 domestic and 4 imported woods using natural oil, stain, and varnish paints. In terms of hygroscopicity, it was found that the hygroscopicity of the painted wood was lower than that of the unpainted wood, and that as the number of coatings increased, the hygroscopicity decreased. In terms of anti-absorption, oil-based chemical paints showed higher resistance than water-based paints, and natural oils showed results comparable to oil-based paints. As for the UV deterioration, the amount of color change of the painted wood was lower than that of the unpainted wood, and there was no significant difference according to the number of times of painting. The amount of color change was found to be low in oil-based paints and hardwoods. Through this study, we confirmed effective moisture blocking and small color changes during painting using paints, and it is believed that wood can be protected from internal and external defects through selective and efficient painting based on data for excellent painting performance.

This study reviewed the effect of W/B, WO and curing method on the quality properties of RA using the BS brick under the zero cement condition. compressive strength was found to show an increasing trend as W/B increased, but to show a improvement in case steam curing was conducted, showing a higher increase at 1 day age in comparison with 7 day age. In addition, the compressive strength on the mixing of WO didn't show any specific trend. The absorption tended to decrease as W/B increased and met the less than 10% regulation value at 30~35% W/B in case WO was used, there appeared a decrease attributable to capillary pore filling effect due to saponification. On the other hand, compressive strength increases, th absorption showed a gradually decreasing tendency.

Solid lipid microspheres (SLMs) were prepared using various lipids and solidifying agents, in order to enhance the gastrointestinal absorption of Cyclosporine A (Cs A) which is a practically water-insoluble drug with low systemic bioavailability. Egg lecithin and HCO-60 (polyoxyethylated 60 mol, hydrogenated castor oil) were used as lipids. Stearic acid and stearyl alcohol were used as solidifying agents. Emulsion concentrates containing Cs A were prepared by mixing the melted lipid and solidifying agent with water, employing bile salts as a cosurfactant. SLMs were obtained by dispersing the warm emulsion concentrate in cold distilled water under mechanical stirring, followed by freeze drying. Physical characteristics of each SLM were investigated by particle size analysis, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Mean particle size of SLMs was in the range of 30 to 40.mu.m. The SLMs were in good appearance with spherical shape before freeze drying, but were deformed partially after freeze drying. Drug loading efficiencies of SLMs were observed as high as 80 to 90% in average. The systemic bioavailability of Cs A from different SLM formula was investigated in rats following oral administration. Cs A in whole blood was extracted and assayed by HPLC. SLMs revealed the higher bioavailabilities than the standard formula based on the marketed product. SLMs might have several advantages over standard formula for enhanced gastrointestinal absorption, controlled release properties, high loading capacity of the water-insoluble drug, and feasibility of solid dosage forms with better stability in storage.

Functional properties such as nitrogen solubility, emulsifying property, foaming property, and water and oil absorption of sesame and perilla protein isolates were determined at pH range of 2-10 and ionic strength of 0-0.5M NaCl. Nitrogen solubility of protein isolates in distilled water showed minimum value at pH6.0 in sesame and at pH 4.0 in perilla and soybean protein isolates, and significantly increased above pH 8.0 in all samples. Addition of 0.1M NaCl solution increased nitrogen solubility, however, decreased in 0.5M NaCl solution. Emulsion activities of all the protein isolates showed minimum value at pH 4.0 and increased in 0.1M NaCl solutions while it was reduced in 0.5M NaCl solutions. The perilla protein isolate showed higher emulsion activity than that of soybean and sesame protein isolates at above pH 6.0. Foaming capacities of sesame and perilla protein isolates were lower than soybean protein isolate and generally all of the samples showed higher profiles in NaCl solutions. The foaming stability of soybean isolate decreased abruptly in 10min, while it was slowly decreased for sesame and perilla isolates during initial 30 min. Oil absorption capacity of perilla protein isolate was higher than that of sesame and soybean protein isolates. Water absorption capacity was similar among the three samples studied.

In this study, a zero-cement brick is manufactured by replacing cement with recycled aggregates and blast furnace slag powder. Experimental tests were conducted with standard sized samples of $190{\times}57{\times}90mm$ (KS F 4004), and this manufacturing technique was simulated in practice. Results showed that the zero-cement brick with 0.35 W/B had the highest compressive strength, but the lowest absorption ratio. This absorption ratio of zero-cement brick with 0.35 W/B was lower than the required level determined by KS F 4004. Hence, to increase the absorption ratio, crushed fine aggregate (CA) and emulsified waste vegetable oil (EWO) were used in combination in the zero-cement brick. It was found that the zero-cement brick with CA of 20% and EWO of 1% had the optimum combination, in terms of having the optimum strength development (12 MPa) and the optimum absorption ratio (8.4%) that satisfies the level required by KS. In addition, it is demonstrated that for the manufacturing of zero-cement brick of 1000, this technique reduces the manufacturing cost by 5% compared with conventional cement brick.

Chicken liver was enzymatically hydrolyzed with an alkaline protease and determined the optimal conditions of reaction temperature and time, pH and enzyme to substrate ratio(E/S ratio) for possible utilization as a protein supplementary ingredient. The functional properties of hydolysate measured were water and oil absorption capacity, emulsifying activity and viscosity and sensory properties were also evaluated. It was found that hydrolysis at $60^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0 were most effective and the degree of hydrolysis increased with increasing E/S ratio. A decrease in water and oil absorption capacity and an increase in viscosity were found during hydrolysis. The lowest emulsifying activity and highest water absorption were measured for 1/2 hour-hydrolysate and little difference was found for those treated more than 1 hour. The sensory characteristics of odor showed no significant difference among the chicken liver hydrolysates while the brightness increased and red decreased significantly(p<0.01) as the hydrolysis proceeded.

Currently, abundant wastes from the palm oil refining process have been generated which are hard to handle. Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) is the solid waste from this process and leads the cost of elimination to the company. This study aims to utilize the SBE as the alternative material in the non-fired wall tiles. The main raw materials used in non-fired wall tiles consist of laterite soil, fluvial sand, and Portland cement. The experimental formulas have been conducted and divided into 3 groups by varying the percentage of the SBE in main raw materials. The specimens of material mixture have been produced by uniaxial pressing at 100 bars, dimensions in $50{\times}100{\times}8mm$. These specimens are sprayed with water and cured in the air for 7 days. After that, bending strength and water absorption test of these specimens has been performed. It can be concluded that the best formula with the percentage of laterite soil, fluvial sand, Portland cement, and SBE are 60.94%, 13.125%, 22.5%, and 3.435%, respectively. Its bending strength and %water absorption are 0.68 MPa and 5.64%. Material costs of specimen are approximately $0.00276 USD/100g. Furthermore, the comparison of curing period between 7 days and 30 days has been performed. The 30 days of curing period can improve the bending strength of the specimen, but there is no effect on water absorption.
