Functional properties of mucilage and pigment extracted from Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten were determined at various temperatures, pHs and alcohol concentrations. The crude mucilage extracted from pickly pear showed pH 4.2, 0.14% total acidity and 8.1% total soluble solid content(w/w, wet basis). Polysaccharide was purified from mucilage extract by isopropanol precipitation. Intrinsic viscosity of polysaccharide was 18.1dl/g and decreased with increasing KCl concentration. Relative viscosity and color stability of mucilage extract were determined with capillary viscometer and spectrophotometer at 534nm, respectively. In additions of 1~20%(v/v) ethanol, the red pigment of mucilage extract was very stable, but relative viscosity, increased gradually. For heating above 7$0^{\circ}C$, the stability of red pigment decreased drastically, but rheological property of mucilage was not changed. During storage, the red pigment was extremely unstable at above pH 8.3. At both pH 3.0 and pH 4.2, the red pigment was the most stable at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 18 days. In the case of storage at 37$^{\circ}C$, pigment of mucilage extract at pH 3.0 was destroyed more quickly than that at pH 4.2. Natural mucilage extract(pH 4.2) showed the good stability of red pigment at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 days.

The dispersion of pigment particles is important because it is capable of increasing the color strength, contrast, and transmittance of color-LCD products. Pigment dispersion properties are very important factors for the quality of LCD color filters. The chemical structure of polymeric dispersants for pigment is important to improve dispersion stability and prevent aggregation or flocculation of pigment in organic or aqueous systems. Polymeric dispersants should contain both anchoring group that interacts with pigment surface and stabilizing group that provides steric stabilization. Moreover, the molecular weight and composition of block copolymer have the an effect on pigment dispersion. In this study, adequate dispersants, block copolymers containing (2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate as anchoring group and oligo(ethylene oxide)methyl ether methacrylate as a stabilizing group were designed and synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization in order to prepare well-defined structure, molecular weight and composition.

The morphological patterns and the cytopathogenicity time of the Vero cells induced by free $Cd^{2+}$ and pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$ were observed by inverted microscope in order to investigate the difference of cadmium toxicity. The Vero cells induced by Hee $Cd^{2+}$ of 0.1 mM were shown to have a fatal toxic effect and the cytopathogenicity could be seen early after 6$\pm$2 hours of incubation. Partially affected cells induced by pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$ of 0.1 mM were shown and the cytopathogenicity could be seen after 20 hours of incubation. The Vero cells grown with free 0.001 mM $Cd^{2+}$ were also affected and the cytopathogenicity could be seen after 17 hours of incubation, whereas the Vero cells grown with 0.001 mM pigment- bound $Cd^{2+}$ were unaffected. The sensitivity of Escherichia coli DH5$\alpha$ bacterial cells was also examined after a short treatment with free $Cd^{2+}$ or pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$. About 5% of cells survived after 0.01 mM of free $Cd^{2+}$ treatment, while about 68% of cells survived after 0.01 mM of pigment- bound $Cd^{2+}$.

In this study, the stability of the extracted natural pigments against light, temperature, pH, metal ions, and antimicrobial activity were evaluated in marine bacteria Zooshikella sp. 17TA. The pigment of the strain used in the study was red with maximum absorption at a wavelength of 541 nm. The stability of the pigment was evaluated by measuring the absorbance while preserving for 15 days and examining the retention rate. After 15 days of irradiation, the pigment of this bacterium showed 98% retention in the dark and 91% retention in the temperature range of -20℃ ~ 30℃. When the pH was in the range 4-7, the retention was about 80%, and the retention rate was higher than 85% for all kinds of metal ions except for CuCl₂, ZnCl₂, and KCl. The bacterial pigments showed high stability under the given irradiated pH, temperature, and metal ion conditions and had shown activity against gram-positive strains. These results suggest that this highly conserved microbial pigment can be applied to the food industry.

Printing inks are mainly composed of pigment and vehicles. Among these components, the Vehicle affect the rheologic property of the ink the most but pigment content of characteristic also after to the fluidity property not less than the vehicle. In the study, It is tested effect to the ink fluidity and structure recovery according to change the pigment particle size. The ink fluidity have been observed by using rheometer at the various conditions and it has been tested to observe what the ink fluidity has different means. In result We have found that the viscosity value of the low shear rate range has relatively higher value with decreasing the pigment particle size in the ink. Also, it has been found that when the pigment particle size decreases, the yield stress gradually increase. In the case of ink's structure recovery, when the pigment particle size decreases in the ink, the less changing shear rate, and it takes less time to recover.

The pigments composition and structure of the mural painting at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon is discussed. The structure of inner wall is consisited of Paint layer, Ground divided two layers of yellow and white pigments, Support. In case of outer wall, it is consisted of Paint layer, Ground divided three layers of yellow and green pigments, a layer mixed green pigments and paint layer, Support. As a result of compositon analysis of mural painting pigments at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon using Micro-area X-ray diffraction system, the red pigment on inner wall is consisted of Heamatite($Fe_2O_3$), Magnetite($Fe_3O_4$)of deep black pigment, and Chalcocite($Cu_2S$) of light black pigment. The white pigment on outer wall is consisted of Anglesite($PbSO_4$) and Atacamite($Cu_2CI(OH)_3$) of green pigment. We found out that natural pigments painted in the mural painting at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon has kept up its own color for a long time due to using the natural pigment not to artificial synthetic pigment.

The chemical processes involved in the formation of green pigment in crushed garlic cloves were investigated based on the principle of pink pigmentation in macerated onions. Intact greening and non-greening garlic cloves were either left untreated or heated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 3 min to inactivate enzyme activities. First, a colorless ether soluble compound referred to as color developer reacted with glycine (among all free amino acids) in garlic to form a second compound insoluble in ether. The latter compound then reacted with formaldehyde to yield the green colored pigment. Alliinase activity was necessary for the production of color developer and for the development of green pigment. In greening garlic that had been heat treated, green pigmentation did not proceed due to the heat-inactivation of alliinase, but the addition of alliinase solution into the garlic homogenates restored the pigmentation. However, this phenomenon was not observed in non-greening garlic with or without heat treatment. Finally, the mechanism of green pigment formation in crushed garlicis similar to that of pink pigment formation in macerated onions.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the packing state and optical properties of coated paper prepared with different coating colors by varying the blending ratio of such pigment as clay, $CaCO_3$, and plastic pigment. To evaluate the effect of packing state of pigment on the properties of coated paper, the coating thickness, which was theoretically calculated by specific gravity, and packing volume of pigment were used. It was found that there exists close relationship between the coating thickness and surface property of coated paper. For instance, the macro roughness(smoothness) of coated paper is closely related to bulkiness. Plastic pigments used in this research has a high finishing efficiency on the light weight coatings. Especially, hollow sphere pigment was very effective for improving the property of coated paper produced in this test. And when HSP was blended with $CaCO_3$the surface property such as smoothness and gloss improved significantly.
