신선편이 양상추는 유통 중 갈변과 이취 및 무름현상이 발생되고, 미생물의 증식에 의해 안전성이 위협받는 등 원재료보다 품질 저하현상이 빠르다는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 건강지향적인 시대가 도래함에 따라, 선도 유지를 위한 화학적 처리를 거친 식품은 기피하는 실정이다. 이에 일반적인 블랜칭의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 저온블랜칭과, 다른 기술과 병용처리 시 synergy effect를 기대할 수 있는 초음파를 병용처리함으로써 신선편이 양상추의 품질특성 변화에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 최적 병용처리조건은 예비실험을 토대로 확립하였으며, central composite design에 의한 반응표면분석법을 이용하였다. 즉, 독립변수를 ultrasonication time ($x_1$), blanching temperature ($x_2$) 및 blanching time ($x_3$), 종속변수를 ${\Delta}E$ value (y)로 하여 반응표면분석을 실시한 결과, 90초간 ultrasonication한 후 $45^{\circ}C$에서 90초간 blanching (US+LB)하는 것이 색도 변화가 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. 최적병용처리구와 각각의 단일처리구 및 무처리구를 $10^{\circ}C$에서 9일간 저장하면서 실험을 실시한 결과, 전반적으로 US+LB 처리구가 유의적으로 높은 $L^*$값이 나타났으며, $a^*$, $b^*$, ${\Delta}E$ value, browning index, PPO 및 POD 활성, 총균수에서 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한, appearance, color, aroma, freshness, texture, overall acceptibility의 6가지 항목으로 관능평가를 실시한 결과, 모든 항목에서 US+LB 처리구가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타나, 이화학적 실험결과와도 일치하는 경향임을 알 수 있었다. 이로써, 초음파와 저온블랜칭의 병용처리는 신선편이 양상추의 품질 유지에 효과적인 방법인 것으로 확인되었다.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics with the excellent electrocaloric properties, $(Pb_{0.88}La_{0.08})(Zr_{0.65}Ti_{0.35})O_3$ ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state method. Electrocaloric effects of $(Pb_{0.88}La_{0.08})(Zr_{0.65}Ti_{0.35})O_3$ ferroelectric ceramics were investigated and discussed using the characteristics of P-E hysteresis loops at wide temperature range from room temperature to $220^{\circ}C$. The temperature change ${\Delta}T$ due to the electrocaloric effect was calculated by Maxwell's relations, and reached the maximum of ~0.19 at $190^{\circ}C$ under applied electric field of 30 kV/cm.

This research was to investigate the inhibitory effects of tyrosinase, elastase and collagenase using rapeseed meal extract for the functional cosmetics. Gamma-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol contents were 304.9 and 212.2 mg/kg, respectively. In the case of delta-tocopherol and plastochromanol-8, they were 12.1 and 35.7 mg/kg, respectively. The total phenol content of methanol extract was the highest (49.6 mg/g) which was about 4.96 fold higher than that of water extract. The maximum nitrite scavenging activities of methanol and acetone extract at pH 1.2 were 85.2 and 80.1%, respectively, at 8.0 mg/mL. When the extract concentration of rapeseed meal increased upto 2.0 mg/mL, cell viabilities did not appear to have any significant cytotoxic effect, irrespective of extracts. Tyrosinase and elastase inhibition activities increased from 25.2 to 42.5% and 25.3 to 48.0%, respectively, as methanol extract concentration increased from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/mL. The collagenase inhibition activities of methanol and acetone extracts at 1.0 mg/mL were 67.2 and 68.0%, respectively. These results showed that the methanol and acetone extract of rapeseed meal can be used as a new source of functional cosmetic agent.

We investigated the effects of non-meat protein binders combined with glucono-${\delta}$-lactone (GdL) on the binding properties regarding restructured pork prepared by high-pressure treatment. Soy protein isolate (SPI), casein (CS), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and egg white (EW) were used as non-meat protein binders and compared with the control (no binder) and with the ${\kappa}$-carrageenan (KC) treatment. The compression and depression rates were 2.3 and 37 MPa/s, respectively, and pressurization was conducted at 200 MPa for 30 min at $4^{\circ}C$. After pressurization, the physical properties (pH, water-holding capacity, color, tensile strength, and microscopic structure) of the sample were evaluated. The combination of pressurization with acidification enabled cold-set meat binding, and the binding strength of restructured pork was enhanced by the addition of non-meat proteins. Among binders, SPI demonstrated the best efficiency in binding meat pieces. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that the combination of acidification and pressurization processes with the utilization of non-meat protein binders has a potential benefit in meat restructuring.

The anticancer activity of guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaf extract (GLE) occurs via the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. However, the mechanism behind GLE-induced apoptosis in the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the apoptotic effects and mechanism of action of GLE in cultured HepG2 cells. The results showed that GLE induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis and disrupted the mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\Psi}m$). Moreover, GLE increased the expression of apoptotic pathway proteins, such as the cleaved forms of caspase-3, -8, and -9; the translocation of Bax and cytochrome c (cyt-c) from the mitochondria to the cytosol; and the downregulation of Bcl-2. In addition, p53 protein expression was increased upon GLE treatment. These observations indicate that the GLE-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells is mediated by mitochondrial ROS generation, followed by caspase activation and cyt-c release, suggesting that GLE may be a promising candidate for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of liver cancers.

In order to investigate a practical application of fibrous adsorbents to heavy metal ions, amidoxime fibers, as a particular class of solid chelate agents, were prepared by hydroxylamine treatment for acrylic fibers in a recipe of neutralization. Among the important problems from plant effluents are toxic concentrations of heavy metals such as copper. Accordingly, the properties of Cu (II) adsorption and its chelates were studied. The results obtained are as follows; The fibrous adsorbents have the property of increasing the swelling volumes by amidoximation. The adsorption of Cu (II) ion is characterized by an endothermic reaction, which is estimated as the plus values in the enthalpy change ($\delta$H=1.30 Kcal/mol. and 3.14 Kcal/mol.). The Cu (II) ions are adsorbed in the range of pH $3\~8$ and the maximum adsorptions are occurred about pH 8. Owing to the anions $(NO_3^-,\;Cl^-)$ of copper salts, amidoxime fibers form 1:1 and 2:1 (ligand: metal) chelating complexes with Cu (II). The nitrate anion chelates to amide I (NH) of amidoxime groups and the chlorine anion does to nitrosyl (NO). These effects relate to the crystallization of the complex and the thermal property.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) at the $H_7$ (Shinmun) on normal humans using power spectral analysis. Methods : EEG power spectrum exhibit site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity. 32 channel EEG study was carried out in 9 subjects (9 males; age=25,8 years). Results : In alpha band, the power values at Fp2 channels(p<0.05) during the $H_7-acupoint$ treatment significantly were decreased. In beta band, the power values at Fp1, Fp2 channels(p<0.05) during the $H_7-acupoint$ treatment significantly were decreased. In delta and theta band, the power values at the $H_7-acupoint$ treatment significantly was increased than the before-acupuncture treatment. Conclusions : This results suggest that electroacupuncture at the $H_7$ is significantly in beta band of EEG.

In this study, electrocaloric effects of Pb-free $(Ba_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})(Ti_{0.92}Zr_{0.08})O_3$ ferroelectric ceramics were investigated and discussed using the characteristics of P-E hysteresis loops at wide temperature range from room temperature to $140^{\circ}C$. The remnant polarization $P_r$ and coercive field $E_c$ were decreased with increasing temperature. The temperature change ${\Delta}T$ by the electrcaloric effect was calculated by Maxwell's relations, and reached the maximum of ~0.15 at $120^{\circ}C$ under applied electric field of 30 kV/cm.

The purpose of this study was to standardize the various methods and recipes of Hwajeun (glutinous rice pancake with flower) that appeare in the literature. For this purpose, the effects on sensory and physical characteristics of Hwajeun in various kinds of dipping syrups (S1 : honey, S2 : rice syrup, S3 : com syrup, S4 : sugar syrup and S5 : sugar) during storage for 24hrs were investigated. This experiment consisted of the measurement of water content, color difference meter, texture analyser and sensory evaluation for acceptance (color, flavor, moistness, softness, chewiness, adhesiveness, sweetness and overall acceptability). The moisture contents decreased with increasing storage time, indicating that S1 had a significantly (p<0.01) high value until 12hrs. The colorimetric values of lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) decreased and the total color difference values ($\Delta$E) increased with increasing storage time. In the two bite compression test, the hardness of S1 and S3 showed significantly (p<0.0001) lower values than other samples. As a result of the sensory evaluation for Hwajeun prepared with various kinds of dipping syrup, S1 and S3 were most preferred in color, flavor, moistness, chewiness, adhesiveness, sweetness and overall acceptability of sensory evaluation.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of tooth bleaching agent contained 15% carbamide peroxide on the color, microhardness and surface roughness of tooth-colored restorative materials by using pH cycling model. Methods : Four types of tooth-colored restorative materials, including a composite resin(Filtek Z350 ; Z350), a flowable composite resin(Filtek P60 : P60), a compomer(Dyract$^{(R)}$ AP ; DY), and a glass-ionomer cement(KetacTM Molar Easymix ; KM). were used in the study. Eighty-eight specimens of each material were fabricated, randomly divided into two groups(n=44): experimental group(15% carbamide peroxide) and control group(distilled water). These groups were then divided into four subgroups(n=11). All groups were bleached 4 hours per day for 14 days using pH cycling model. The authors measured the color, microhardness, and roughness of the specimens before and after bleaching. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and T-test. Results : Z350 and P60 showed a slight color change(${\Delta}E^*$), whereas DY and KM showed significantly color change(p<0.05). Among them, the greatest color change was observed in DY. Percentage microhardness loss(PML) of the distilled water group was 1.8 to 5.1%, and 15% peroxide peroxide group was 5.0 to 25.2%. Microhardness of DY and KM showed a statistically significant decrease(p<0.05). Roughness was increased in all groups after bleaching. Z350 and P60 does not have a significant difference(p>0.05), however DY and KM significantly increased more than the 0.2 ${\mu}m$(p<0.05). Conclusions : The effects of bleaching on restorative materials were material dependent. It is necessary to consider the type of the material before starting the treatment.
