As the importance of biological resources increases, the conservation technology is becoming important for rarities. This study was conducted to establish an efficient cryopreservation conditions for the Deutzia paniculata, endangered plant species, by using both cryopreservation methods of vitrification and encapsulation. As a result, the sucrose pretreatment seed viability showed up to 30.7% in the treatments. The cryoprotectant treatment improved the viability of the seeds, and was found to be excellent in the vitrification method using PVS3. The vitrification method had over 10% higher germination rate than the seeds preserved by encapsulation. In addition, the germination rate showed a significant difference according to the cryopreservation treatment time, and the germination rate of seeds decreased very much as the long time became longer. Plants germinated from preserved seed in liquid nitrogen showed poor growth compared to untreated, and good growth in PVS3 120 minutes. In addition, the growth of germinated plants by liquid nitrogen treatment time was better in the vitrification method. These results are expected to be useful for long-term preservation of D. paniculata, endangered plants.

This paper proposes a new framework of reversible data hiding scheme for absolute moment truncation coding (AMBTC) compressed images. AMBTC-based RDH can be applied to optical remote sensing (ORS) image transmission, which achieves target region preservation and image compression simultaneously. Existing methods can be concluded as two types. In type I schemes, stego codes mimic the original AMBTC format where no file bloat occurs, yet the carried secret data is limited. Type II schemes utilize predication errors to recode quantity levels of AMBTC codes which achieves significant increase in embedding capacity. However, such recoding causes bloat inside stego format, which is not appropriate in mentioned ORS transmission. The proposed method is a novel type I RDH method which prevents bloat inside AMBTC stego codes with significant improvement in embedding capacity. The AMBTC compressed trios are grouped into two categories according to a given threshold. In smooth trio, the modified low quantity level is constructed by concatenating Huffman codes and secret bits. The reversible contrast mapping (RCM) is performed to complex trios for data embedment. Experiments show that the proposed scheme provides highest payload compared with existing type I methods. Meanwhile, no expansion inside stego codes is caused.

The main problem with roads is that cracks and settlement occur over time due to loads acting from the surface layer. One way to solve this problem is to use Geocell. Geocell can be used for structural reinforcement for erosion prevention, ground stabilization on flat and steep slopes, load bearing, and ground preservation. In this study, analyzed road pavement application cases using Geocell and purpose of this study is to analyze the bearing capacity of a road paving method including Geocell using field tests and LFWD(Light Falling Weight Deflectometer) equipment. In addition, the bearing capacity was compared and analyzed with the existing traditional road pavement method.

This study investigated the optimum pH condition for the efficient extraction of protein from Gastrodia elata Blume. Five extraction pH values (8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) and three precipitation pH values (2, 4, and 6) were used. The protein content, browning degree, and recovery yield of the protein obtained under each pH condition were determined. Most of the G. elata Blume was made up of carbohydrates, and its protein content was also high. The amount of the extracted protein increased according to the increase in the extraction pH, but did not significantly differ between pH 8 and pH 9. The browning degree of the protein significantly increased as the extraction pH increased. The greatest amount of protein was precipitated at pH 4, the recovery yield of which was also the highest. As a result, it was found that the combination of extraction pH 9 and precipitation pH 4, which resulted in a 38.7% recovery yield and a low browning degree, is the optimum condition for the efficient extraction of protein from G. elata Blume.

We aimed to develop a new salting method to improve the quality of Dombaegi. The changes in quality characteristics of Dombaegi during salting using different salting methods (dry and brine salting) and salting pressures (vacuum and atmospheric pressure) were investigated. Moisture content was highest in Dombaegi prepared by brine salting under atmospheric pressure. Salt content was greater when salting was conducted under vacuum compared with atmospheric pressure. Water-holding capacity and water activity were higher under vacuum pressure than at atmospheric pressure and after dry salting compared with brine salting. Color change varied greatly when Dombaegi samples salted at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum were compared, and was affected more by dry salting than brine salting. Springiness was higher after salting under vacuum, and in dry conditions. The results showed that dry salting under vacuum provided better quality characteristics compared with other methods. Therefore, salting under vacuum was the optimal salting process.

Ginger was dried using maltodextrin or recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried ginger was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried samples in terms of color, moisture content, water activity, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and sensory properties. Ginger prepared using molecular press dehydration (MPD) retained its original color. The dehydration rate increased when ginger was dried using a dehydrating agent. The rehydration rate was increased in ginger dried using such an agent. Both dehydration and rehydration rates were elevated with increasing concentrations of soluble solids in the dehydration liquid. The sensory qualities of ginger prepared using the MPD method were better than those of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples. These results indicate that drying of ginger rhizomes using recycled dehydrating liquid is very efficient.

In this study, near-infrared spectroscopy was used to observe the drying non-uniformity of vegetables such as spring onions, onions, and garlic, which are commonly used for seasoning. For the warm-air convection drying method, the vegetables showed drying non-uniformity, which is due to the unevenness of the wind temperature and humidity depending on the height and position of the drying tray. The second derivative spectra between the vegetable samples with different drying degrees were compared. The peak at around 1,390~1,400 nm, which is assigned to weak hydrogen bonds of water, was changed during drying whereas the peak near 1,420 nm, which represents strong hydrogen (H-) bonds of water, was not changed, indicating that water with weak H-bonds evaporates first during drying, and that water with strong H-bonds remains after drying. The hyperspectral NIR imaging technique combined with principal-component analysis made it possible to discriminate the dried vegetables according to their drying degree.

To evaluate the possibility as a natural preservative of Cornus officinalis seed extracts, we investigated the anti-microbial activity and preservation effect of cosmetics. Cornus officinalis seed extracted with 1,3-Butylene Glycol(1,3-BG) and Ethanol(EtOH). As a result, Cornus officinalis seed extracts showed anti-microbial activity at Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes and Cornus officinalis seed 1,3-BG extracts(COS-A) showed $26.7{\pm}4.0mm$ clear zone at the $1000.0{\mu}l/ml$. Minimum inhibitory concentration of S. epidermidis was observed at Cornus officinalis seed EtOH extracts(COS-B) $25.0{\mu}l/ml$. The result of challenge test for preservation effect on cosmetics, S. aureus and S. epidermidis was 100% eliminated from emulsion containing COS-A and COS-B after 7 days. These results suggest that Cornus officinalis seed extracts may have possibility as the natural preservative instead of synthetic perservative on cosmetics.
