This study was conducted to investigate the effect of additions of duck skin as pork fat replacer on the quality characteristics of duck meat sausage during refrigerated storage. The sausage made with only duck meat was severed as the control. Three treatments of sausages were produced with addition levels (T1, 1%; T2, 2% and T3, 3%) of duck skin. Our results showed that the addition of duck skin significantly (p<0.05) decreased the moisture content whereas significantly (p< 0.05) increased the fat content in the sausages. The sausages with duck skin had significantly (p<0.05) higher pH values until 4 weeks of refrigerated storages when compared to the control. CIE $L^*$ value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 and T2 than those of other treatments after 7 days of refrigerated storage. Similarly the sausages with duck skin had significantly (p<0.05) higher CIE $a^*$ values as compared with the control after 4 weeks of refrigerated storage. The sausages with 1% duck skin processed the significantly (p<0.05) highest hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness values at all storage days. No differences were found between the control and treatment for color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. Based on the results obtained in the present study it is suggested that duck skin to levels of 1~2% can be used as fat replacer for manufacture of duck meat sausage with a positive effect on quality and texture characteristics. However, further research in necessary to improve taste and palatability of the products.

This study was conducted to evaluate the pressure treatment characteristics of Japanese red pine and Japanese larch skin timber with ACQ-2, CUAZ-2 and CuHDO-1. The effect of moisture content (MC) on preservative treatability was investigated for Japanese red pine sapwood and Japanese larch heartwood, and fixation characteristics of CCA alternatives was also evaluated. Japanese red pine sapwood, which was dried below 30 percent MC, was fully penetrated with preservatives, and minimum requirement of preservative retention for the hazard class H3 was achieved. Through measuring preservative retention gradient in Japanese red pine sapwood, it was confirmed that the retention gradient of CuHDO-1 was steeper than that of both ACQ-2 and CUAZ-2. In particular, it was intensified at a higher MCs of wood samples (25∼30%). Japanese larch heartwood did not meet the minimum requirement of penetration and retention for the hazard class H3 over the range of pretreatment MCs tested. With presteaming under $121^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours, the treatability of Japanese larch heartwood was enhanced to meet the minimum requirement for the hazard class H3. The fixation rate of copper was much more faster under drying condition compared with nondrying condition; more than 95% of copper were fixed in 3~6 days and 1 day under drying conditions in Japanese red pine sapwood and Japanese larch heartwood, respectively. After 3-week fixation period at ambient temperature, the amount of mobile copper in treated wood sample that remains available for leaching from treated wood was the highest in the wood samples treated with ACQ-2, followed by CuHDO-1 and CUAZ-2. It was proportional to the amount of copper in treating solution.

Foeniculum vulgare (FV) has long been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In addition, it is usually known as an important medicinal and aromatic plant widely used as a carminative, digestive, lactogogue, and diuretic, and for treating respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. The skin barrier protects against the invasion of pathogens, fends off chemical and physical assaults, and protects against extensive water loss. In this study, the effects of solvent-fractionated FV fruits on strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining moisture, as well as their antifungal activity, were investigated in human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. The expression of involucrin, loricrin, filaggrin, hyaluronic acid synthase, human β defensin, and cathelicidin genes and proteins was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting. The production of hyaluronic acid was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The butanol fraction increased the expression of involucrin and filaggrin. Both the ethyl acetate and the butanol fractions increased hyaluronic acid production by promoting the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase-1. Although the antimicrobial peptides were increased by FV crude extract and its fractions, the samples did not show a significant effect compared to the normal group. These results suggest that the butanol fraction of FV could be very useful in cosmetics for the treatment of dermatological diseases.

In this study, the skin-improving effect was investigated through the oral intake of DuOligo (51.67% lactulose and 15.8% galactooligosaccharides). Thirty seven healthy women (40~60 in ages) were divided into placebo group (dextrin) and treatment group (DuOligo group), and each group was given a sample for oral intake for 8 weeks. After that, corneometer value, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin index, erythema index, and wrinkle index were measured. As a result, moisture content of DuOligo group increased 38.22% than control group after 8 weeks significantly (p < 0.01). The TEWL of control group decreased by $3.39g/h/m^2$ after 8 weeks but the TEWL of DuOligo group decreased by $5.32g/h/m^2$ after 8 weeks. The melanin index of the control group was significantly increased with times, but the melanin index of the DuOligo group did not show any significant difference with times. The total wrinkles, length of total wrinkles, number of wrinkles, and depth of wrinkles significantly decreased (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. These results suggested that the applicability of DuOligo as a skin improving functional material was confirmed.

Recently, since atopic dermatitis is sensitive to skin irritation, it has been suggested that the development of a patch that can effectively exhibit adhesion and absorption to a specific local area while minimizing skin irritation, and capable of appropriate drug release should be given priority. In this study, we tried to develop a hydrogel patch that minimizes skin irritation, adheres effectively to a specific area, and promotes absorption. The atopic patch was formulated into a super-absorbent hydrogel sheet using a freeze drying method. Cell viability assay was carried out using keratinocytes (HaCaT cell) and fibroblasts (L929 cells). In order to investigate the physical properties, FT-IR, FE-SEM, porosity analysis and swelling behavior were investigated. As a result, the newly prepared HA-Dex hydrogel patch was verified by biocompatibility and physical evaluation. In addition, the manufactured hydrogel patch has sufficient moisture absorption capacity and can relieve itching of atopic skin, and is expected to be applied to various drug delivery products for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in the future.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of glucomannan (GMN), carrageenan (CAR), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and transglutaminase-B (TGB) on the quality and storage properties of pork patties manufactured with pork skin connective tissue during 21 d of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Results showed that CIE color values like lightness, redness and yellowness did not differ significantly among the pork patties. Sensory attributes also did not differ between the treatments (P>0.05). However, cooking loss was significantly lower in the group with added GMN, CAR, CMC, and TGB compared to the control at 21 d of storage. The shear force value of GMN and TGB were lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). The pork patties added with GMN and TGB had lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control at 1 or 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of all treatment samples was lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Therefore, result of cooking loss suggested that the decrease in shear force in GMN and TGB were due to higher moisture retention. Also, the pork skin connective tissue with added GMN and TGB decreased lipid oxidation of pork patties.
