  • 식품포장의 발전은 식품 제조 및 식품 공급을 안전하게 유지하는 데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 식품포장은 식품의 보관, 취급, 운송 및 보존을 용이하게 하며 음식물 쓰레기를 최소화하는데도 기여하고 있다. 반면에 식품포장재는 생산량이 많고 사용 시간이 짧고 폐기물 관리 및 쓰레기와 관련된 환경문제 발생을 가속시키고 있으므로, 포장 기술은 식품 보호와 에너지 및 재료 비용, 환경사회적 의식 고양, 그리고 오염물질 및 도시고형폐기물 처리에 대한 엄격한 규제 등의 문제와 균형을 이루며 발전되어야 한다. 자원의 절약과 재활용을 통해 지속가능성을 추구하며 폐기물 생성 및 탄소배출을 줄이는 순환경제(Circular Economy)가 이미 도입되었다. 자원고갈과 환경오염을 최대한으로 줄이는 친환경 경제시스템을 활성화하여 감량, 재사용, 재활용, 재설계로 순환경제의 목표를 실천하면 식품포장이 환경에 미치는 영향도 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이 고찰에서는, 재활용이 현재 포장 폐기물을 관리하는 중요한 수단으로 여겨지기 때문에 재활용 식품포장의 안전성 측면에 중점을 두어 설명하였다. 재활용은 잠재적으로 위험한 화학물질이 포장재에서 또는 식품으로 이행된 후의 그 수준을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 재활용 포장재의 안전성을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 플라스틱, 종이 및 판지, 알루미늄, 강철 및 다중재료 다층 포장 등 다양한 식품포장 재료가 일반적으로 사용되나 여기서는 가장 사용 비중이 크고 사용 후 문제가 심각하게 증가되고 있는 플라스틱 식품포장재의 재활용 안전성에 대해서만 고찰하였다.

  • A novel approach to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extract of Canna edulis Ker-Gawl. (CELE) under ambient conditions is reported here. The as-prepared AgNPs were analyzed by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission emission microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray spectroscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. The AgNPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, including bacteria and various fungi. The biocompatibility of the AgNPs was analyzed in the L929 cell line using NRU and MTT assays. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining was used to determine whether the AgNPs had necrotic or apoptotic effects on L929 cells. The concentration of AgNPs required for 50% inhibition of growth of mammalian cells is far more than that required for inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms. Thus, CELE is a candidate for the eco-friendly, clean, cost-effective, and nontoxic synthesis of AgNPs.

  • Nowadays Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is widely used in different industries such as chemical, food and pharmaceutical process and refrigeration due to the efficient heat transfer performance, extreme compact design and efficient use of the construction material. In present work, PHE is applied in the fresh water generator system. Fresh water generators or desalinators are installed in ship to convert seawater to fresh water using heat from engines. PHE is an important part of a condensing or evaporating system. Among many of factors which should be concentrated on, the heat transfer and pressure drop is most important parts during sizing and rating the performance of PHE. Flow maldistribution is common but it will significantly reduce the heat exchanger performance. In this paper provide a overview of PHE cover basic of theory and conduct a numerical approach for flow distribution in plate channel. An experimental study on the performance of fresh water generator system which developed by plate heat exchanger will presented in future research. Thus, extensive experiment and analysis is required to study the thermal and fluid flow characteristics of PHE.

  • Cellulase is an eco-friendly biocatalyst, and its demand is growing in many industrial applications such as food, textile, paper, and bioenergy. Strains with a high cellulase activities are the starting point for the economic production of cellulase. In a previous study, Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 with high cellulase production ability was selected among 54 wood-rotting fungi. In this study, we evaluated the cellulase productivity of Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 quantitatively and analyzed its taxonomic location using a genetic method. Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 showed high cellulase productivity similar to that of Acanthophysium bisporum and was much better than A. bisporum in specific enzyme activity. The 28S rRNA sequence of Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 was similar to that of Acanthophysium lividocaeruleum MB1825, with 98.40% homology. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 is a new strain. In this study, we propose a new strain with high cellulase productivity.

  • The glacial tills and shales in Midwestern states of the USA often show strength degradation after construction. They are often in need of applying soil modification techniques to remediate their strength degradation with weathering process. This study investigated the weathering durability of these natural soils and biopolymer treated soils by comparing direct shear test results for wet-dry and wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycled specimens. The tests showed that untreated glacial tills maintained only 62% and 50% initial shear strength after eight wet-dry cycles and eight wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycles, respectively. These untreated soils could not withstand by themselves after 16 weathering cycles. The same soils treated with 1.5% (by dry weight) food-grade Xanthan gum maintained 140% and 88% initial shear strength of untreated soils after 16 weathering cycles for wet-dry cycles and wet-freeze-thaw-dry cycles, respectively. The same soils treated with 1.5% (by dry weight) Gellan gum maintained 82% and 60% initial shear strength of untreated ones after 16 weathering cycles, respectively. Similar results were obtained for crushed shales, manifesting that the biopolymerization method may be adopted as a new eco-friendly method to enhance the weathering durability of these problematic soils of glacial tills and shales.

  • Bacterial cellulose (BC) is gaining attention as a carbon-neutral alternative to plant cellulose, and as a means to prevent deforestation and achieve a carbon-neutral society. However, the high cost of fermentation media for BC production is a barrier to its industrialization. In this study, chestnut shell (CS) hydrolysates were used as a carbon source for the BC-producing bacteria strain, Gluconacetobacter xylinus ATCC 53524. To evaluate the suitability of the CS hydrolysates, major inhibitors in the hydrolysates were analyzed, and BC production was profiled during fermentation. CS hydrolysates (40 g glucose/l) contained 1.9 g/l acetic acid when applied directly to the main medium. As a result, the BC concentration at 96 h using the control group and CS hydrolysates was 12.5 g/l and 16.7 g/l, respectively (1.3-fold improved). In addition, the surface morphology of BC derived from CS hydrolysates revealed more densely packed nanofibrils than the control group. In the microbial BC production using CS, the hydrolysate had no inhibitory effect during fermentation, suggesting it is a suitable feedstock for a sustainable and eco-friendly biorefinery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to valorize CS by utilizing it in BC production.
