The authentication of the physico-chemical properties of ginsenosides reference materials as well as qualitative and quantitative batch analytical data based on validated analytical procedures is a prerequisite for certifying good manufacturing practice (GMP). Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1, representing protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol ginsenosides, respectively, are accepted as marker substances in quality control standards worldwide. However, the current analytical methods for these two compounds recommended by Korean, Chinese, European, and Japanese pharmacopoeia do not apply to red ginseng preparations, particularly the extract, because of the relatively low content of the two agents in red ginseng compared to white ginseng. In manufacturing fresh ginseng into red ginseng products, ginseng roots are exposed to a high temperature for many hours, and the naturally occurring ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1 are converted to artifact ginsenosides such as Rg3, Rg5, Rh1, and Rh2 during the heating process. The analysis of ginsenosides in commercially available ginseng products in Korea led us to propose the inclusion of the (20S)- and (20R)-ginsenoside Rg3, including ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1, as additional reference materials for ginseng preparations. (20S)- and (20R)-ginsenoside Rg3 were isolated by Diaion HP-20 adsorption chromatography, silica gel flash chromatography, recrystallization, and preparative HPLC. HPLC fractions corresponding to those two ginsenosides were recrystallized in appropriate solvents for the analysis of physico-chemical properties. Documentation of those isolated ginsenosides was achieved according to the method proposed by Gaedcke and Steinhoff. The ginsenosides were subjected to analyses of their general characteristics, identification, purity, content quantification, and mass balance tests. The isolated ginsenosides showed 100% purity when determined by the three HPLC systems. Also, the water content was found to be 0.534% for (20S)-Rg3 and 0.920% for (20R)-Rg3, meaning that the net mass balances for (20S)-Rg3 and (20R)-Rg3 were 99.466% and 99.080%, respectively. From these results, we could assess and propose a full spectrum of physico-chemical properties of (20S)- and (20R)-ginsenoside Rg3 as standard reference materials for GMP-based quality control.

단체급식 및 대형 할인점에서 사용 및 판매되는 전처리 농산물중 급식에서 사용빈도가 높은 감자, 당근, 양배추에 대한 품질 평가를 실시하였다. 품질평가를 위해 관능 품질검사와 이화학적 분석이 이루어졌다. 전반적으로 대기업 급식업체에서 생산하는 전처리 농산물과 중소규모의 급식 납품업체에서 공급하는 제품 간의 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 학교급식에 납품하는 업체의 전처리 농산물이 관능 품질검사에서 높은 점수를 나타내어 학교급식에서 사용되는 전처리 농산물의 품질이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 대형할인점에서 판매하는 양배추, 당근, 감자의 품질은 개선의 여지가 보였다. 관능 품질 검사와 이화학적 분석 결과의 상관관계 분석에서는 "pH", "환원당"과 "산도"가 전처리된 양배추, 감자, 당근에서 관능 품질 검사 항목과 높은 상관관계를 나타냈고 이는 PLSR 분석을 통해서도 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 이들 농산물의 품질 검사에서 주요 분석항목으로 사용이 가능하리라 여겨진다. 전반적으로 단체급식에서 사용하는 전처리 농산물의 품질은 적정한 수준으로 여겨지나 가장 우려되는 부분이 식품의 안전성임을 고려할 때 다량 급식되는 식재료의 입고에서 조리-배식단계까지 주의가 확보되어야 할 것으로 여겨지고 실제 입고 후 조리 및 배식 전 과정에서의 분석이 향후 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

폐기물을 적절히 관리하고 처리하기 위해 기본 자료가 되는 폐기물의 물리적 특성과 화학적 특성 분석을 위해 충주시에서 발생된 생활폐기물을 대상으로 발생원과 매립장에서 시료채취를 채취하여 겉보기밀도, 폐기물의 물리적 조성, 삼성분, 화학적 조성 및 발열량을 조사 분석하였다. 발생원별조사결과와 매립장 반입폐기물의 물리적 특성 값들은 차이가 있으나, 화학적 조성 값은 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 환경부에서 도입예정인 생활폐기물전처리시설(MBT(mechanical biological treatment))과 같은 폐기물중간처리 장치를 도입할 경우 물리적 조성 값을 알기위해서는 발생원별 조사가 필수적이지만, 소각로 설계를 위한 폐기물조사에서는 주로 화학적 특성 값을 이용하기 때문에 간단히 매립장에 반입되는 폐기물의 분석치만 조사하여도 큰 문제가 없는 것으로 판단된다. 폐기물의 중간처리에 중요한 생활폐기물의 물리적 성상은 가연성과 비가연성 성분으로 분석할 경우 가연성은 연평균 87.4%로 나타났고, 비가연성의 경우 연평균 12.6%이며, 생활폐기물의 발생원별 겉보기 밀도 평균은 $0.150ton/m^3$이다. 생활폐기물의 삼성분 분석결과 평균은 수분 27.6%, 가연분 60.5%, 회분 11.9%이고, 원소분석 결과 평균 원소성분에 대한 값은 C: 50.1%, H: 6.%, O: 39.5%, N: 1.9%, S: 0.5%, Cl: 1.3%이며, 저위발열량은 2,441kcal/kg이다.

Small-scale fish farmers in developing countries are faced with challenges owing to their limited information on aquaculture management. Nile tilapia farmers in Teso North Sub-County recorded lower yields than expected in 2009 despite having been provided with required inputs. Water quality was suspected to be the key factor responsible for the low yields. This study sought to assess the effects of earthen pond water physico-chemical parameters on the growth of Nile tilapia in six earthen fish ponds under semi-intensive culture system in Teso North Sub-County. The study was longitudinal in nature with pond water and fish being the units of analysis. Systematic sampling was used to select five ponds while a control pond was purposively selected based on its previously high harvest. Four ponds were fed by surface flow and two by underground water. Each pond was fertilized and stocked with 900 fry of averagely 1.4 g and 4.4 cm. Physico-chemical parameters were measured in-situ using a multi-parameter probe. Sixty fish samples were randomly obtained from each pond fortnightly for four months using a 10 mm mesh size and measured, weighed and returned into the pond. Mean range of physico-chemical parameters were: dissolved oxygen (DO) 4.86-10.53 mg/l, temperature $24-26^{\circ}C$, pH 6.1-8.3, conductivity $35-87{\mu}S/cm$ and ammonia 0.01-0.3 mg/l. Temperature (p = 0.012) and conductivity (p = 0.0001) levels varied significantly between ponds. Overall Specific Growth Rate ranged between 1.8% (0.1692 g/day) and 3.8% (1.9 g/day). Ammonia, DO and pH in the ponds were within the optimal levels for growth of tilapia, while temperature and conductivity were below optimal levels. As temperature and DO increased, growth rate of tilapia increased. However, increase in conductivity, pH and ammonia decreased fish growth rate. Temperature and DO ranging between 27 and $30^{\circ}C$ and 5-23 mg/l, respectively, and SGR of 3.8%/day and above are recommended for higher productivity.

Soft marine clay deposits pose several foundation problems. Generally, lime stabilization is used worldwide for solidifying of soft marine clay deposits. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were conducted to verify clay-lime reaction. A clay was collected from Pusan, which was mixed with various quantities of quick lime and slaked lime. Various compounds produced by clay-lime reaction were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The physico-chemical properties of the clay were also investigated. Compounds such as calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), calcium aluminate hydrate (CAH), calcium aluminate (CA), hillebrandite, and gehlenite were identified. It is likely that such compounds were mainly produced by pozzolanic reaction. Based on the change of physico-chemical properties obtained by the reaction, the water content was considerably decreased when lime was added to the clay. In addition, unconfined strength was increased. In the other hand, quick lime was more effective than slaked lime in decreasing and increasing of the water content and unconfined strength, respectively. Fewer cracks were produced when the clay was mixed with quick lime. It is suggested that these beneficial changes produced by the mixing of the clay and lime depend on the properties of compounds obtained by chemical reaction.

The smectite-rich clays were found locally in Paleozoic calcareous sedimentary rocks in the Samcheok area. Their occurrences were investigated in detail, and the physico-chemical properties of the clays were also determined by X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis, thermal analysis and cation exchanging experiment. The smectite clays occur as the fissure filling dyke developed in calcareous sedimentary rock and as alteration products of intrusive rhyolite. Most of clays occur at the contact between the sedimentary rock and the rhyolite, and the alteration zone was observed only in rhyolite body close to the contact. Judging from their occurrences, it is believed that the smectite-rich clays in this area were formed by the hydrothemal alteration. The smectite clays from the area are mainly composed of Ca-montmorillonite, and associated with small quantities of quartz, opal-CT and feldspar. The montmorillonites from this area are lower in Fe content, and higher in exchangeable Ca ion, compared to those of bentonite from the Yangnam-Yeongil area.

An attempt was made in the Veeranam freshwater lake with the objectives to collect, identify, describe and document the algae occurring from March 2007 to August 2007. Qualitative and quantitative characterization of phytoplankton and analysis of physico-chemical parameters of water samples were carried out at monthly intervals during the study period in the western and eastern sides of the lake. It was found that the phytoplankton community embraced 68 genera belonging to four classes viz., Bacillariophyceae (40), Chlorophyceae (22), Cynophyceae (4) and Euglenophyceae (2). There were significant influences of various physico-chemical parameters on the phytoplankton population density. Commonly occurred genera, Oscillatoria (Cyanophyceae), Navicula (Bacillariophyceae) and Scenedesmus (Chlorophyceae), were subjected to energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis (EDS). They were found to accumulate different elements such as Zn, P, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, N, Si, Cl and Mn. Among these the member Cyanophyceae contained Zn, P, Mg, Ca, Mn, S and N. Bacillariophyceae Si, Zn, Mg, Cl, N, Fe, and Ca. Chlorophyceae Ca, Mg, N, Fe, Cl, Zn, Si and Mn. Thus these observations would determine the chemical dialogue between the cell structures and role of the elements. Further, it gives the clue about the phytoplankton growth requirements.

Korean fresh elephant-foot (Amorphophalus konjak K. Koch) and its powder were analyzed and compared with foreign samples to investigate the physico-chemical characteristics of Korean konjak. The Korean fresh konjak contained 80.6% of moisture content and most of the solid component comprises much of sugar, protein and trace of fat and fibre. The mannan content of Korean konjak powder is far smaller than those of Japanese and Chinese konjak powder. The analysis of the Korean konjak revealed that glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine included 45% of total amount, and other amino acid was incresaed with the order of valine, serine, leucine and glycine. The Korean konjak contained a moderate amount of K component and other inorganic component was larger with the order of P, Na and Ca. The yield of refined powder obtained from dried chip of Konjak was 61.0% in Korean one and 57.5% in Chinese one. The degree of lightness of Chinese konjak powder was slightly higher than that of Korean product, but the difference could not be recognized by naked eye.

본 연구는 생활쓰레기의 물리 화학적 분석 및 발열량 등으로 그 특성을 알고 반응기를 이용한 열중량감량 분석을 함으로써 열처리 시설의 가장 효율적인 운영에 기초자료가 됨을 목적으로 한다. 측정 결과는 다음과 같다. 쓰레기의 삼성분 중 가연분이 약 61%로 다른 수분(약 32%) 회분(약 7%)보다 함유량이 높았고 쓰레기의 원소분서결과 종류에 관계없이 탄소와 수고(약 94%)의 존재량이 대부분이었다. 쓰레기의 발열량 분석 결과 고위발열량은 2897.883(Kcal/kg)의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. TGA를 이용하여 도시 생활쓰레기의 종류별 열적 특성을 분석한 결과 온도가 증가함에 따라서 시로 중에 함유된 휘발분이 지속적으로 무게 감량이 일어났으며 특히 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$에서 열중감량이 활발히 진행되고 그 반응속도에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
