This study was to estimate the strength of pine needle ash concrete using cement, natural aggregates and pine needle ash(PNA). The highest strength was achieved by 5% pine needle ash filled PNA concrete respectively. It was increased 6% by compressive strength, 15% by tensile strength and 13% by bending strength than that of the normal cement concrete, respectively.

Plant ash and soil drainage, derived by frequent mountain fires during winter, might cause biological contamination to seaweeds at seashore and river mouse area. To thalli of Ulva pertusa, maximum non-lethal concentration(MNLC), lethal concentration 50 $(LC_{50})$ and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) of pine needle ash were shown as 60, 350 and 550 mg/mL, respectively. The yellow loess and granite sand did not damage at concentrations of 20 and 200 mg/mL, respectively To thalli of Porphyra yezoensis, the MNLC, LC5O, MLC of pine needle ash were shown as 0.08, 0.4 and 1.0 mg/mL, respectively. Effects of yellow loess and granite sand were approximately 1/2 and 1/10 of the ash. To thalli of Undaria pinnatifida, the pine needle ash, yellow loess and granite sand did not damage at the concentration range of 20 to 40 mg/mL. Change of pigments $(chlorophyll\;\alpha,\;lutein,\;\beta-carotene,\;phycoerthrin)$ was also determined at the MNLC, $LC-{50}$ and MLC of pine needle ash. Among three seaweeds tested, P. yezoensis produced the most 2.7-fold of lutein and 2.3-fold of $\beta-carotene$ at $LC-{50}$ of the ash. Thus the P. yezoensis, appeared as a sensitive indicator, could be used as one of test organisms for determination of the biological effect of pollutants contaminated in marine environment.

In order to investigate the possibility of functional property improvement of meat products, four kinds of pork patties were prepared with water 10% as control, mugwort extract 10%, pine needle extract 10% and fatsia leaf extract 10%, respectively. In case of control moisture content was higher, but crude fat was lower, compared to patties treated with plant extracts. Crude ash content of pine needle extract treatment showed higher level than that of other patties. pH range of patties revealed to 5.92∼5.978. In raw patties Hunter's L-and a-value of control were higher than those of plant extract treatment, and a-value of raw patties showed higher level than that of cooked. Yield, water holding capacity, salt soluble protein extractability and gel strength among patties did not show significant differences. In control patty, fat retention was lower compared to other plant extract treatments, but water soluble protein extractability was higher compared to pine needle. Values such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were not significantly different among the patties. In sensory scores such as aroma, juiciness and palatability, significant differences were not observed among cooked patties, but texture score was higher in the order pine needle, mugwort, fatsia leaf and control.

The rheological properties of dough made with 0%, 1%, 2% or 3% pine needle powder were investigated The approximate composition of the pine needle powder was moisture content 58.1% crude protein 4.1% crude fat 3.9% crude ash 0.9%, and crude fiber 9.3%. Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) analysis showed that the initial posting temperature increased with increasing pine needle powder content, while the peak viscosity decreased The water absorption, stability, development time, elasticity and valorimeter value of the dough, as determined using a farinograph and alveograph, decreased with increasing content of pine needle powder, while weakness increased. The extensibility, fermented volume and consistency of the dough decreased gradually with increasing pine needle powder content. These results indicate that addition of pine needle powder affects the rheological properties of bread.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementation diets of pine needle powder on performance, proximate composition, carcass characteristics, blood cholesterol concentration, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance), WHC (water holding capacity), and shear force of chicken meat. Broiler chicks were fed diets for five weeks containing 0% pine needle powder (Control), 0.3% pine needle powder (T1), 0.6% pine needle powder (T2), and 0.9% pine needle powder (T3). Performance was no significant difference among treatment groups, but mortality was decreased in diets by the supplementation of pine needle powder than that of T1 and control. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash were no significant difference. The liver weight and abdominal fat was significantly decreased by the supplementation of pine needle powder compare to the T1 and control (P<0.05). The total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentration of control was higher than treatment groups, and the HDL-cholesterol concentration and glucose of control was lower than treatment groups (P<0.05). The TBARS value was significantly decreased by the supplementation of pine needle compared to the control (P<0.05). In conclusion, these data indicate that 0.6% pine needle powder supplementation (T2) was most effective in decreasing mortality, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and increasing HDL-cholesterol concentration.

This study is performed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of pine needle ash (PNA) concrete. Materials used for this experiment are PNA, normal portland cement, natural fine and coarse aggregate. Test results show that the unit weights of PNA concrete are decreased 1 % ∼3% and the highest strength is achieved by 5% PNA filled PNA concrete. Compresive strength increased by 5% , tensile strength by 20% and bending strength by 15% as compared with those of the normla cement concrete , respectively. The highest ultrasonic pulse velicity and dynamic mudulus of elasticity are acheved by 5% PNA filled PNA concrete, which are similar to those of the normal cement concrete.

This study examines the stress-strain and acid-resistance of pine needle ash (PNA) concrete. Materials used for this experiment are PNA , normal portland cement, natural fine and coarse aggregate. Test results show that the highest static modulus of elasticity are achieved by 5 % PNA filled PNA concrete. Acid-resistance of PNA concrete is increased with increase of the content of PNA. It is 1.29 times of the normal cement concrete for 5 % PNA filled PNA concrete and 2.57 times fo r15% PNA filled PNA concrete, based on the elased days for 25% mass loss of original mass immersed in the 5% H2SO4 solution. Accordingly, PNA concrete will greatly improve the properties of concrete.
