전분필름의 물성에 미치는 고압균질 처리의 영향을 검토한 결과, 고압균질처리 옥수수전분필름은 산화전분필름과 유사한 투명도를 가지며, 용해도와 산소투과억제력의 증가와 함께 인장강도가 다소 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 고압균질처리 옥수수전분필름의 물성변화는 고압균질기의 고압과 전단력에 의해 호화전분입자가 완전히 소실되고 전분의 용해도 증가와 보다 균일한 분산상이 형성되기 때문으로 판단되었다. 일반적인 호화과정을 통해 형성되는 전분필름의 구조는 연속상의 아밀로오스에 팽윤된 접분입자가 분산되어 있는 network 형태에서 형성된다. 반면 고압균질처리의 경우, 호화전분입자의 붕괴로 아밀로펙틴이 연속상을 이루고 여기에 아밀로오스가 분산상으로 존재하는 새로운 분산계(dispersed system)가 형성되어, 기존 호화 방법으로 제조한 필름과 다른 물성을 나타내는 것으로 판단되었다.

Prediction of physicochemical properties of organic molecules is an important process in chemistry and chemical engineering. The MSEP approach developed in our lab calculates the molecular surface electrostatic potential (ESP) on van der Waals (vdW) surfaces of molecules. This approach includes geometry optimization and frequency calculation using hybrid density functional theory, B3LYP, at the 6-31G(d) basis set to find minima on the potential energy surface, and is known to give satisfactory QSPR results for various properties of organic molecules. However, this MSEP method is not applicable to screen large database because geometry optimization and frequency calculation require considerable computing time. To develop a fast but yet reliable approach, we have re-examined our previous work on organic molecules using two semi-empirical methods, AM1 and PM3. This new approach can be an efficient protocol in designing new molecules with improved properties.

국내 69개 농경지 토양 내 Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn을 대상으로 하여 토양 pH, 양이온교환능력, 유기물 함량 등의 물리화학적 특성이 CaCl2, HOAc, HNO3, DTPA 등을 이용한 중금속의 단일용출 결과에 미치는 영향을 통계학적으로 조사하였다. 통계학적 분석은 토양의 물리화학적 특성의 평균값을 기준으로 높고 낮은 두 표본으로 구분한 후 이에 대해 상관분석과 다중회귀분석을 수행하였다. Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb의 경우 HNO3를 적용하였을 때 다른 추출제에 비하여 높은 함량이 추출되었으나, Cd, Zn의 경우 HOAc를 이용한 추출에서도 유사한 함량이 추출되었다. 상관관계 조사 결과, DTPA 추출이 다른 단일용출 및 전함량과 상관관계가 높았으며, 토양의 물리화학적 특성이 단일용출 결과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Zn의 경우, 전함량과 모든 단일용출법들에 의한 추출 함량이 상호 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 회귀분석 결과, 토양의 물리화학적 특성은 최대 74%에 이르는 단일용출 결과의 분산을 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 토양의 물리화학적 특성이 단일용출 결과에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 나타낸다.

The development of a new manufacturing process, a two-step temperature treatment, to modulate the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles including the size is critical. This is because its physicochemical properties can be key factors affecting the cellular uptake and the bioavailability of bioactive compounds encapsulated in nanoparticles. The aims of this study were to produce (beta-lactoglobulin) ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles and to understand how two-step temperature treatment could affect the formation and physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles. The morphological and physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles were determined using atomic force microscopy and a particle size analyzer, respectively. Circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to investigate the secondary structure of ${\beta}-lg$. The surface hydrophobicity and free thiol groups of ${\beta}-lg$ were increased with a decrease in sub-ambient temperature and an increase in mild heat temperature. As sub-ambient temperature was decreased, a decrease in ${\alpha}-helical$ content and an increase in ${\beta}-sheet$ content were observed. The two-step temperature treatment firstly involved a sub-ambient temperature treatment from 5 to $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, followed secondly by a mild heat temperature treatment from 55 to $75^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. This resulted in the production of spherically-shaped particles with a size ranging from 61 to 214 nm. Two-way ANOVA exhibited the finding that both sub-ambient and mild heat temperature significantly (p<0.0001) affected the size of nanoparticles. Zeta-potential values of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles were reduced with increasing mild heat temperature. In conclusion, two-step temperature treatment was shown to play an important role in the manufacturing process - both due to its inducement of the conformational changes of ${\beta}-lg$ during nanoparticle formation, and due to its modulation of the physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties (nutrient composition, pH, water content and activity, sorption properties) and mechanical properties (compression force and energy) of granulated feed mixtures with various inclusion levels of crude fibre concentrates ARBOCEL and VITACEL for broiler chickens, i.e. +0.0% (control group - group C), +0.3%, +0.8%, +1.0%, +1.2%. Methods: The feed mixtures were analyzed for their physicochemical properties (nutrient composition by near-infrared spectroscopy, pH with the use a CP-401 pH meter with an IJ-44C glass electrode, water content was determined with the drying method and activity was determined with the Aqua Lab Series 3, sorption properties was determined with the static method) and mechanical properties (compression force and energy with the use TA-HD plus texture analyzer). The Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model applied in the study correctly described the sorption properties of the analyzed feed mixtures in terms of water activity. Results: The fibre concentrate type affected the specific surface area of the adsorbent and equilibrium water content in the GAB monolayer (p≤0.05) (significantly statistical). The type and dose of the fibre concentrate influenced the dimensionless C and k parameters of the GAB model related to the properties of the monolayer and multilayers, respectively (p≤0.05). They also affected the pH value of the analyzed feed mixtures (p≤0.05). In addition, crude fibre type influenced water activity (p≤0.05) as well as compression energy (J) and compression force (N) (p≤0.001) (highly significantly statistical) of the feed mixtures. Conclusion: The physicochemical analyses of feed mixtures with various inclusion levels (0.3%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%) of crude fiber concentrates ARBOCEL or VITACEL demonstrated that both crude fiber types may be used in the feed industry as a feedstuff material to produce starter type mixtures for broiler chickens.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in physicochemical and sensory properties of raw fruits during washing and chlorine treatments. Strawberry and banana were pre-prepared at different concentration of chlorinated water(0 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm), immersion time(3 min and 5 min), and number of post-rinsing(1 time, 2 times and 3 times). The physicochemical properties such as pH, sugar contents, residual chlorine contents, color values and hardness of the fruits were analyzed, and the sensory quality were evaluated throughout the sterilization treatment process. After washing strawberry with 100 ppm chlorinated water and 3 times of post-rinsing, pH and residual chlorine contents were showed a little difference, while sugar contents, hardness, and color values(L, a and b) were reduced. In case of banana, pH, sugar contents and residual chlorine contents were not affected, and hardness and L color value were reduced. However, a and b color values of banana were gradually increased as the development of brown discoloration. Sensory properties of the samples were affected by the chlorine sterilization treatment. In overall acceptance, strawberry and banana treated with 100 ppm chlorinated water showed the lowest scores among treatments. Therefore it could be suggested that the application of 50 ppm chlorinated water for $3{\sim}5$ minutes with over 3 times of post-rinsing was the effective pre-preparation method without affecting the quality of the fruits.

Objective: This study investigated the association between feed efficiency, physicochemical properties, flavor precursors and biomolecules in the thigh meat of Korat (KR) chickens. Methods: The feed intake and body weight of individual male KR chickens were recorded from 1 to 10 weeks old to calculate the individual residual feed intake (RFI) of 75 birds. At 10 weeks of age, chickens with the 10 highest (HRFI) and lowest RFI (LRFI) were slaughtered to provide thigh meat samples. The physicochemical properties (ultimate pH, water holding capacity [WHC], drip loss) and flavor precursors (guanosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate (IMP), adenosine monophosphate and inosine) were analyzed conventionally, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to identify the composition of biomolecules (lipids, ester lipids, amide I, amide II, amide III, and carbohydrates) and the secondary structure of the proteins. A group t-test was used to determine significant differences between mean values and principal component analysis to classify thigh meat samples into LRFI and HRFI KR chickens. Results: The physicochemical properties of thigh meat samples from LRFI and HRFI KR chickens were not significantly different but the IMP content, ratios of lipid, lipid ester, protein (amide I, amide II) were significantly different (p<0.05). The correlation loading results showed that the LRFI group was correlated with high ratios of lipids, lipid esters, collagen content (amide III) and beta sheet protein (rg loading >0.5) while the HRFI group was positively correlated with protein (amide I, amide II), alpha helix protein, IMP content, carbohydrate, ultimate pH and WHC (rg loading >0.5). Conclusion: The thigh meat from chickens with different RFI differed in physiochemical properties affecting meat texture, and in the contents of flavor precursors and biomolecules affecting the nutritional value of meat. This information can help animal breeders to make genetic improvements by taking more account of traits related to RFI.

The effects of dietary fiber extracted from pumpkin (pumpkin fiber) on physicochemical properties, textural properties, and sensory characteristics of chicken frankfurters were investigated. Chicken frankfurter was supplemented with pumpkin fiber at levels of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%. Adding different levels of pumpkin fiber affected the proximate composition of the chicken frankfurters (p<0.05), except for protein content. In addition of different levels of pumpkin fiber influenced the physicochemical and textural properties of the chicken frankfurters (p<0.05). The yellowness, viscosity, and hardness were higher in chicken frankfurters samples containing pumpkin fiber than those in the control (p<0.05). The results showed that chicken frankfurter samples with higher pumpkin fiber levels had lower lightness values (p<0.05), as well as less cooking loss, emulsion stability, and lower color scores (p<0.05) compared to those control without pumpkin fiber treatment. The chicken frankfurters with 2% and 3% pumpkin fiber had higher overall acceptability than that of the control (p<0.05). The results show that adding pumpkin fiber produced acceptable chicken frankfurters and improved their quality characteristics.

Physicochemical properties of starches isolated from 3 new potato cultivars developed by Potato Valley Ltd. were investigated and compared to those of starch isolated from 'Superior' being distributed prominently in Korea. Significant differences were observed in physicochemical properties such as granule size, amylose content, phosphorus content, water binding capacity, swelling power, solubility, and in vitro digestibility of starches from different potato cultivars. Thermal properties were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and onset gelatinization temperatire ($T_o$), peak temperature ($T_p$), and enthalpies of gelatinization (${\triangle}H$) of different potato cultivars ranged as $58.0{\pm}0.3-61.7{\pm}0.4^{\circ}C,\;63.7{\pm}0.2-$ $66.5{\pm}0.0^{\circ}C$, and $15.6{\pm}0.5-17.0{\pm}0.3$ J/g, respectively. Pasting properties were evaluated using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), and pasting temperature, peak viscosity, and final viscosity of different potato cultivars ranged as $65.0{\pm}0.1-68.9{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$, $8,163.7{\pm}196.3-9,035.7{\pm}6.4$ cp, and $4,397.7{\pm}166.7-7,025.0{\pm}271.3$ cp, respectively. Especially, 'Gogu valley' starch showed the highest values in the amylose and phosphorus content among tested potato cultivars and higher water binding capacity, swelling power, and solubility than those of other tested starches. And it also showed high pasting temperature, peak viscosity, trough viscosity, and final viscosity as compared to other tested starches.

Agar was prepared from Gelidium amansii collected from Jeju Island, South Korea. This agar preparation has high gel strength and low sulfate content compared with G. amansii agar from Morocco. Accordingly, agarose was made from the Jeju agar through the consecutive refining processes of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extraction and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) washing. The physicochemical properties of the resulting agarose were compared with those from agarose prepared using only DMSO extraction. Consecutive DMSO extraction and EDTA washing more strongly affected the physicochemical properties of the agarose (purified agarose) compared with the use of DMSO extraction alone. These properties were similar to those of commercial agarose used for electrophoresis. In DNA electrophoresis, the separation and movement speed of the purified agarose were similar to those of the commercial agarose. In a $^{13}C$ NMR analysis, the purified agarose exhibited the same carbon peak as the commercial agarose. When observed under scanning electron microscopy, the agar had an even and smooth surface without irregularities or pores, and the purified agarose had a wide surface area with a large number of pores; the commercial agarose had an irregular surface that would allow the solvent to easily permeate. These results illustrate that the physicochemical properties of agarose prepared from DMSO extraction and EDTA washing were more effective than those observed after DMSO extraction alone; thus, these processes used in succession will be useful in agarose industries.
