Interpolymer complex formation between basic polypeptide poly(L-proline) Form Ⅱ (PLP(Ⅱ)) and acidic polypeptides poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLGA) and poly(L-aspartic acid)(PLAA) has been studied in water-methanol (1:2 v/v) mixed-solvent by viscometry, potentiometry, light scattering and circular dichroism (CD) measurements. It has been found that polymer complexes between PLP(Ⅱ) and PLGA (or PLAA) are formed via hydrogen bonding with a stoichiometric ratio of PLP(Ⅱ)/PLGA (or PLAA)=1:2 (in unit mole ratio) and that PLP(Ⅱ) forms polymer complex more favorably with PLGA than with PLAA. In addition, the minimum (for pH 5.0) and the maximum (for pH 3.2) in reduced viscosity of dilute PLP(Ⅱ)-PLGA mixed solutions are observed at 0.67 unit mole fraction of PLGA (i.e., [PLP(Ⅱ)]/[PLGA]=1/2). These findings could be explained in terms of molecular structure (or conformation) of the complementary polymers associated with the complex formation.

Zeolites are microporous materials that find applications in different fields due to their numerous interesting properties. This research investigated the effect of leaching on unheated Ifon kaolin in dilute hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid. The hydrothermal method synthesized zeolite-X type, and the resulting sample was characterized using different techniques. The silica/alumina ratio in the synthesized sample was approximately 5.6, while Infrared spectra confirmed that the synthesized material was Zeolite-X. Based on the X-ray diffraction patterns, other phases were also formed in addition to zeolite-X crystals. Thermogravimetry results indicated that the synthesized zeolite was relatively stable below 500℃, so its weight loss was only 13% after heating to about 200℃. A differential thermal analyzer confirmed this amount of weight loss, and endothermic and exothermic reactions were also observed for the samples calcined respectively at 700 and 900℃. Based on Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses, samples at 700℃ showed slower adsorption-desorption isotherms, pore volume, and sizes than those at 900℃. These results have shown that leaching and calcination temperature significantly affect the type of zeolite produced.

Recently, coffee is the most popular beverage for modern people. A great number of substances are found in coffee beans and have been studied for many years such as aliphatic and aromatic compounds. However, studies on the physiological activity of coffee extracts are insufficient. This study was performed to determine the contents of caffeine and chlorogenic acid in coffee extracts according to the solvent and to investigate the physiological activity of coffee extracts. Coffee extracts were extracted by ultrasonication method with various types of solvents including distilled water, ethanol, and other organic solvents under $50^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$. The contents of caffeine and chlorogenic acid in coffee extracts were determined by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Also, cytotoxic and antioxidative effects of coffee extracts were evaluated with MTT and DPPH assays to analyze the physiological activity. As a result, it was confirmed that caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents were extracted in distilled water with the highest rate. Antioxidative activity was observed below 10-fold dilute of coffee extracts, however cytotoxicity was not observed. In conclusion, distilled water was the best solvent for extracting caffeine and chlorogenic acids from coffee bean with ultrasonication and these coffee extracts are less cytotoxic in human skin cell lines and have antioxidant effect.

The efficiency of microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis of seaweeds for the production of ethanol was investigated and its effect on hydrolysis into reducing sugar and fermentation into ethanol evaluated as compared with those by conventional heating. A brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica (10-100g/L) was hydrolysed under dilute acidic condition (0.5N $H_2SO_4$, $100^{\circ}C$) with two sorts of heating: microwave irradiation for ${\leq}10min$ and conventional heating for 10-60min. Microwave-assisted hydrolysis was shown to be more efficient. A similar range of reducing sugar and ethanol yields as with the conventional autoclave heating procedure(${\geq}30min$) was observed, but it was obvious that production of ethanol from microwave-assisted hydrolysis had a 3 times faster reaction rate leading to very short production times, lower energy consumption/loss than from the conventional heating mode, and higher biomass loading without significant reducing ethanol yield, thus microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis is a potential alternative method for more effective hydrolysis of Laminaria japonica.

초산은 묽은 산에 의해 처리되어 얻어진 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액 중 가장 양이 많을 뿐만 아니라 중대한 에탄올 발효 저해물질이다. 그 가수분해액으로부터 초산을 선택적으로 제거하는데 최적인 분리시스템을 찾기 위하여 모사 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액으로 자일로스, 초산과 황산의 혼합물이 선택되었다. 이러한 목적을 이루기 위해 에멀젼형 액막법이 모사 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액으로부터 초산을 제거하는데 적용되었다. W/O 에멀젼의 주요 구성 성분들, 즉 아민계 추출제 종류, 계면활성제 조성, 첨가제 종류와 회수제의 종류 및 농도가 모사 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액에 있는 초산, 자일로스와 황산의 추출에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 특별한 실험 조건에서, 초산의 추출율은 95% 이상이었고, 자일로스의 손실은 미미하였는데, 이것은 현 에멀젼형 액막법이 경제성이 높은 공정이 될 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

Alginic acid is a hydrophilic , colloidal polysaccharide obtained from cell wall of seaweed or brown algae and has a broad range of applications. Alginlc acid becomes alginate gel bead due to its cation-induced gelation. Dried alginate beads can be reswollen according to environmental pH. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possible applicability of alginate beads as an oral controlled release system of ibuprofen. In this experiment ibuprofen was incorporated in alginate beads and alginate beads were treated with various methods. Ibuprofen release from alginate beads in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was laster than in distilled water and dilute HCl. The release of ibuprofen was more sustained in bead than simple mixture and coprecipitate of ibuprofen and sodium alginate. The dissolution rate of ibuprofen was decreased in using of bead that hardened with formaldehyde. The dissolution rate of the drug from the bead was the fastest in 12 hour dried beads, 1.5%-sodium alginate concentration and 1%-calcium chloride concentration. Sodium alginate bead can be used as a sustaind release drug delivery system of water-insoluble drugs.

Water-based magnetic fluids were made of the synthesized ultrafine magnetite with surfactants such as sodium oleate and loeic acid. The water-based magnetic fluid was prepared under the condition that added amounts of sodium oleate and oleic acid dissolved with NH4OH were 2.64$\times$10-2 mol, 1.5~2.0$\times$10-2 mol respectively. The water-based magnetic fluid was stable and should be dispersed well dispersion in the range of pH 9.0 to pH 11.0. As the solid content increased from 0.05 g/cc to 0.4 g/cc, the viscosity of water-based magnetic fluids increased from 2.5 cP to 152 cP and their magnetization at 5 KOe linearly increased from 3.1 emu/g to 26 emu/g. The aggregated powder after drying the water-based magnetic fluid was also successfully re-dispersed in dilute NH4OH solution and in kerosene.

목질계 바이오매스를 이용하여 효소를 사용하지 않고 발효당을 얻기 위해 황산을 이용한 당화를 수행하였다. 바이오매스로는 pinus rigida와 palm농업 부산물인 EFB를 사용하였다. 산을 이용한 당화에서는 당의 과분해 생성물을 줄이기 위한 당화조건을 생각해 보아야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스를 이용한 2단 산당화를 수행하였다. 산을 이용한 1차 가수분해에서는 72 wt%의 황산을 이용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 반응시켰을 경우 가장 높은 당화율을 보였고 pinus rigida와 EFB 각각 11.49 wt%, 32 wt%의 당화율을 보였다. 이후 1차 가수분해에서 얻은 액상을 9~15 wt%의 산농도가 되도록 묽혀 $50{\sim}120^{\circ}C$의 온도로 2차 가수분해를 진행했다. 2차 가수분해시 9%의 황산농도와 $120^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 80분간 반응시켰을 때 최종 글루코오스 당화율은 pinus rigida의 경우 86.8 wt.% (39 g/L), EFB의 경우 95.3 wt%(32.4 g/L)를 얻을 수 있었다. 각 단계에서 분석된 결과는 물질수지를 통해 확인하고 당화 효율을 비교해 보았다.

이상을 통해 숙신산 분리정제를 위한 반응추출의 원리와 연구개발 및 적용 사례를 살펴보았다. 반응추출은 에너지가 적게 드는 고효율 생물분리공정이라는 장점을 확인 할 수 있었으며 향후 카르복실산 이외에 항생제를 비롯한 다양한 생물분자들의 분리정제에 적용할 수 있는 높은 응용 가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 특정 카르복실산의 회수를 목적으로 할 경우 추출제의 pH제한성은 극복되어야 할 문제점으로 작용할 수도 있다. 이와 병행하여 추출된 특정 카르복실산의 효과적인 회수 및 용매 재활용을 위한 재생공정의 개발도 요구된다. 기존에는 온도-스윙-재생법(temperature-swing-regeneration, TSR)이나 희석제-스윙-재생법 (diluent-swing-regeneration, DSR)을 주로 사용하였으나 회수율이 낮은 단점이 있다. 반응추출 공정의 경제성 향상을 위해서는 이를 개량하거나 대체할 수 있는 공정의 개발이 요구된다. 아울러 발효공정의 수율향상과 생성물의 동시분리를 위해 반응추출을 발효공정에 in-situ로 적용하기 위해서는 추출제 및 희석제의 생물적합성 향상을 위한 연구도 필요하다.

헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액은 당은 물론 카르복시산, 푸란유도체 및 페놀화합물과 같은 여러 종류의 에탄올 발효 저해물질을 포함한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 저해물질들을 제거할 수 있는 분리 기술로서 에멀젼형 액막법이 적용되었다. 기본 모사 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액은 당인 자일로스, 용매인 묽은 황산 수용액과 카르복시산인 초산으로 구성되었으며, 필요에 따라 푸란유도체인 푸르푸랄 또는 페놀화합물인 p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HBA)가 그 가수분해액에 추가되었다. 본 연구에서 고려된 모든 에멀젼형 액막계에서 약산인 초산과 HBA는 선택적으로 제거가 가능하였지만, 알데히드인 푸르푸랄은 상당히 제거하기가 어려웠다. 또한, 기본 모사 가수분해액에 HBA가 추가된 에멀젼형 액막계에서 추출제로 tributyl phosphate를 사용하여 원료상에 있는 초산과 HBA를 99%까지 동시에 선택적으로 제거할 수 있었다.
