This study was carried out in order to investigate the physicochemical properties of isolated pectic substances from Citron, Satsuma mandarin, Marumero, and Natsudaidai. Among varieties, Citron had the highest value of isnoluble pectin and Marumero had the hightest ratio of soluble pection. The total pectin contents isolated by 2% Sodium hexameta-phosphate(SHMP) varied in the range of 1.85% ~ 2.63%. Anhydrogalacturonic acid(AUA) contents were 78.64%~89.14% and were lower than commercial pectin. Isolated pectin contained above 7% methoxyl content and above 50% esterification. The apparent molecular weight of commercial pectin and isolated pectin were 72,000 and 42,000~46,000 respectively. Esterification and ester methoxyl content were the lowest and apparent molecular weight was the highest in Satsuma mandarin. Citron's values were a little higher in esterification and ester methoxyl content and lower in apparent molecular weight than the others.

The corrosion of the embedded steel rebars and the consequent deterioration of the reinforced concrete structure has become a challenging concern to the construction industries for the fiscal deficit. However, corrosion inhibitors are potential and being widely used for corrosion mitigation to solve such problems. This study has been focused on the mixed type of corrosion inhibitor where one component of the corrosion inhibitor is organic and another one is inorganic material. 0.1 (M) triethanolamine (TEA) and 0.01 (M) sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) have been mixed in distilled water to produce the mixed inhibitor. Studies of the steel rebar corrosion in chloride contaminated (3.5 wt.% NaCl) concrete pore (CCCP) solution has been conducted using different concentrations of corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method is involved to understand the corrosion behaviour of the steel rebars at different exposure durations.

This study was performed for screening yellow head virus(YHV) complex in 252 including 235 white leg shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) and 17 oriental shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) collected from 18 farms located in southwestern province of Korea. The virus complex was detected by nested reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. In the assay, amplicons were resulted in RNAs exracted from 38 shrimps (21 white leg shrimps and 17 oriental shrimps) obtained from 7 farms. In phylogenetic analysis using sequences of ORF1b gene, all 38 sequences obtained in this study formed an independent lineage with YHV-8 genotype firstly isolated in China, belonged to an YHV-8 clade.

This study investigated the disinfection effect of monopersulfate (MPS) compound against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) by bioassay using kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicas). A WSSV stock was prepared with muscle homogenate from WSSV-infected whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) and its lethal dose 50% endpoint (LD50) and infectious dose 50% endpoint (SID50) were respectively determined as 10-5.63 and 10-6.79 in bioassay using kuruma shrimp, followed by PCR assays. The disinfective effect of MPS compound (1.2 ppm, 2.4 ppm, 4.8 ppm) was performed by bioassay using about 10-fold higher dilution (10-4) of WSSV homogenate. The compound resulted in WSSV inactivation by a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, 4.8 ppm of MPS completely prohibited WSSV infection. To our knowledge, this study is the first report about the usefulness of MPS as a disinfectant to WSSV.

Ettringite $(Ca_6[Al(OH)_6]_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}26H_2O)$ is a sulfate mineral that shows a complicate property in concrete. It is often called as "a cancer of concrete" because secondary ettringite formation in hardened concrete often cause expansion and cracking of concrete due to its expansive crystal structure. In the present study, we tested the possibility for crystal growth inhibition of secondary ettringite by crystallization inhibitors that are commercially used for scaling inhibitors in Korea. For the test, we developed a method of ettringite solution synthesis. Three types of crystallization inhibitors were selected and examined the effects On ettringite growth inhibition. The experimental results of ettringite solution synthesis indicated that ettringite was successfully synthesized under condition that the mass balance between calcium hydroxide saturated solution and aluminum sulfate solution was attained. Monosulfate and semisulfate were synthesized when the ratio of $Ca^{2+}$ ions to ${SO_4}^{2+}$ ions was increased. The induction time of ettringite crystallization was less than 2 min. and crystallization was almost completed within an hour. The experimental results of ettringite crystallization inhibition showed that organic PBCT (2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-Tricarboxylic Acid) and inorganic SHMP (Sodium Hexametaphosphate) were relatively less effective on ettringite crystallization inhibition under experimental conditions. However, organic HEDP (1-Hydoxyethylidene-1,1-Diphosphonic Acid) effectively prevented ettringite growth with producing amorphous gel phase materials up to inhibitor concentration 0.1 vol.% of aluminum sulfate solution.
