An experiment was conducted for 20 days( from July 21 to August 10, 1996) to investigate the differences in thickness of eggshell and eggshell membrane in Korean native chicken. All the eggs were purchased from a farm located in Chinju area. All eggs were categorized into Treatment I (34.89~51.39 g), H (53.32~60.70 g), and III (34.89~60.70 g) according to their weights. Eleven items were measured in all three treatments, i.e., egg weight, egg length, egg width, breaking strength, eggshell thickness of large end(STLE), eggshell membrane thickness of large end(SMTL), eggshell thickness of small end (STSE), eggshell membrane thickness of small end(SMTS), eggshell thickness of middle part(STMP), and eggshell membrane thickness of middle part(SMTM). Correlation coefficients between egg weight and eggshell weight, among eggshell thickness of large end, small end and middle end and eggshell weight were significant (P<0.01). Correlation coefficients between egg weight and large eggshell membrane were nega-tively significant(P<0.01). Breaking strengths were higher in Treatment I than in Treatment H. Correlation coefficients among thickness of eggshell and eggshell membrane at each point at 3 parts of large end, small end and middle end were not significant.

This study investigates the use of methyl-esterified eggshell membranes (MESM) for the harvesting of microalgae species under various conditions. Eggshell membranes were esterified with HCl to impact polycationic characteristics. After methyl esterification, the negative surface charge property of eggshell membrane was changed from negative to positive for all pH values to improve microalgae sorption capacity. The harvesting efficiency of microalgae by MESM reached 78-99% for all pH ranges evaluated. In addition, a 150 mesh particle size and $10mg\;L^{-1}$ MESM dose were found to yield up to 98% microalgae harvesting. These results indicate that the high cationic charge of MESM strongly adsorbs the negatively-charged microalgae. MESM is biocompatible and can be applied to the harvest of microalgae.

In tropical regions, lateritic soil is frequently used in road embankment. However, it is one of the sources of road failure owing to its low strength. Generally, cement and lime are used as stabilizers for lateritic soil, but they are not environmentally friendly. Some studies try to use eggshells, for they are food waste and share the same chemical composition as lime. Previous researchs have shown that eggshell powder could enhance the strength of lateritic soil. This research investigated the effect of particle size of the eggshell powder and the effect of the protein-membrane presence in the eggshell on stabilizing capacity of soil. Through laboratory tests, unconfined compressive strength was examined for various particle sizes. The particle size of eggshell powder ranging between 150 ㎛ and 88 ㎛ was appropriate size that made an excellent stabilizer at 3% concentration. On the other hand, the protein-membrane reduced the stabilizing ability of the eggshell powder when the content of eggshell powder is less than 4% in soil. Numerical analysis of road embankment was performed based on the results obtained in the laboratory tests. It is shown that the eggshell powder has improved the stability of the sub-base of the road embankment.

무사마귀병이 상습적으로 발생하는 농가포장에 달걀껍질을 토양혼화 처리한 후 배추를 정식하고 $10{\sim}13$일 간격으로 4회에 걸쳐 배추를 수확하여 무사마귀병 발병과 배추생육, 토양 pH 변화 등을 조사한 결과 지상부 생육에 있어서 난막을 제거한 달걀껍질 처리구의 배추들이 시험중기부터 다른 처리구들에 비하여 빠른 생육을 보였으며, 무사마귀병 발병도도 가장 낮았다. 난막이 있는 달걀껍질 처리구는 무처리 대조구보다는 생육이 좋았으나 난막 없는 달걀껍질 처리구보다는 낮았다. 토양 pH는 처리 3주 이후부터 차이가 커지기 시작하여, 난막 없는 달걀껍질 처리구에서는 8.0 이상으로 상승한 반면 무처리구에서는 6.8 정도에 머물렀다. 달걀껍질과 기타 칼슘화합물의 효과를 비교한 시험에서는 $CaCO_3$ 처리구의 발병도가 1.7로 가장 낮았고, 무사마귀병 방제용 살균제인 플루설파마이드 처리구와 무사마귀병 저항성 품종인 CR그린배추의 발병도가 모두 1.9인 반면, 달걀껍질 처리구의 발병도는 2.7로 높은 편이었다. 무처리 대조구의 발병도는 3.4였다. 그러나 배추 생육은 발병도와는 다른 양상을 보여, 달걀껍질 처리구의 배추 생육이 약 2.1kg으로 가장 좋았던 반면 무사마귀병 저항성 품종인 CR그린배추의 생육은 약 2.0 kg, 무사마귀병 방제용 살균제인 플루설파마이드 처리구에서는 약 1.7 kg, 그리고 무처리 대조구에서는 약 1.3 kg에 머물렀다. 달걀껍질은 무사마귀병을 크게 억제하지는 못하여도 배추의 생육을 증진시키는 효과는 매우 컸다. 따라서, 배추를 정식하기 전에 토양에 달걀껍질을 혼화한다면 무사마귀병 발생에 관계없이 배추를 재배가 가능할 것이다.

폐기물로 버려지고 있는 난각에 다량으로 포함되어 있는 칼슘을 효율적으로 회수하고, 이온화 정도를 높일 수 있는 방법을 조사하였다. Ball mill을 이용해 난각을 분쇄해 물속에서 비중의 차이를 이용하여 난각분을 얻었고, 회전속도 30 rpm, 체류시간 30분, volume fraction 0.08에서 가장 높은 난막 제거 효과를 보였다. 난각분을 전기로에서 회화시켜 얻은 난각칼슘분의 백색도를 측정해 L값이 90이상에 도달하는 시간은 전기로 온도 850, 900, $1000^{\circ}C$에서 각각 14, 9, 3시간이 소요 되었으며, 난각칼슘분의 Hausner ratio는 1.43으로 조사되었다. 난각칼슘분은 물, 초산, 구연산, 젖산$(0.05{\sim}3%)$ 용액에서 각각 990, 3500, 3900, 4200 ppm의 이온화 정도를 나타내었다. Calcium-citrate-malate complex(CCM), calcium-citric acid complex(CC), calcium-malic acid complex(CM)는 물에서 이온화 정도가 난각칼슘분에 비해 약 4-5배 증가 하였다.

In this study, we improved the eggshell-membrane separation process by separating the shell and membrane with EDTA solution, evaluating effects of three different extraction solutions (acetic acid, EDTA, and phosphate solution), and co-purifying multiple eggshell proteins with two successive ion-exchange chromatography procedures (CM Sepharose Fast Flow and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow). The recovery and residual rates of eggshell and membrane separated by the modified method with added EDTA solution were 93.88%, 91.15% and 1.01%, 2.87%, respectively. Ovocleidin-116 (OC-116) and ovocalyxin-36 (OCX-36) were obtained by loading 50 mM Na-Hepes, pH 7.5, 2 mM DTT and 350 mM NaCl buffer onto the DEAE-FF column at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, ovocleidin-17 (OC-17) was obtained by loading 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0 on the CM-FF column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The purities of OCX-36, OC-17 and OC-116 were 96.82%, 80.15% and 73.22%, and the recovery rates were 55.27%, 53.38% and 36.34%, respectively. Antibacterial activity test suggested that phosphate solution extract exhibited significantly higher activity against the tested bacterial strains than the acetic acid or EDTA extract, probably due to more types of proteins in the extract. These results demonstrate that this separation method is feasible and efficient.

CSLM 기술을 이용하여 Salmonella enteritidis에 의한 계란 오염 과정을 관찰하여 난막의 3중막 구조, cuticle 층 그리고 5가지 필름 피복의 침투 방어효과를 조사하였다. 난막을 구성하는 fiber의 지름은 각각 outer membrane $1.5{\sim}7.2\;{\mu}m$, inner membrane $0.8{\sim}2.0\;{\mu}m$이었고, limiting membrane을 구성하는 입자의 지름은 $0.1{\sim}1.4\;{\mu}m$이었으며, 두께는 각각 평균 10.0, 3.5, $3.6\;{\mu}m$이었다. 난각과 접해 있는 outer membrane은 다음 층인 inner membrane과 부분적으로 중첩되어있고, limiting membrane의 입자들은 매우 밀집되어 inner membrane과 중첩된 상태로 존재하였다. Cuticle층은 전체 계란 표면적 중 $40{\sim}80%$ 를 덮고 있었으며, 두께는 평균 $6.0\;{\mu}m$이었고 피복 필름들의 평균 두께는 자각 mineral oil $5.0\;{\mu}m$, dextrin $3.6\;{\mu}m$, gelatin $3.9\;{\mu}m$, starch $2.5\;{\mu}m$, chitosan $2.2\;{\mu}m$이었다. 필름 피복에 의한 Salmonella enteritidis 생육 억제효과를 관찰한 결과, chitosan이 가장 효과적이었다. 그리고 trisodium phosphate (TSP), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) 처리, 5종의 필름 피복 처리와 무처리한 계란표면에 Salmonella enteritidis를 접종한 후 내부 전이 과정을 CSLM을 이용하여 다색영상화(multi-color imaging)와 시간당 투과 균수에 대한 plate count로 비교한 결과, 난각이나 3중막 구조의 난막보다는 cuticle 층이 Salmonella균의 오염을 차단하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, chitosan 피복이 cuticle 층과 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 따라서 피복 필름중에서 chitosan이 최외부 방어막인 cuticle층이 결손된 난각 부위를 피복하는데 가장 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

Herein, we propose a facile water-processible method to develop an eggshell membrane (ESM)-embedded waterborne polyurethane (WPU)-based bio-degradable and bio-compatible coating material that exhibits attractive tactile properties. Virgin ESM is not dispersible in water. Hence, to develop the ESM-based WPU composite, soluble ESM (S-ESM) was first extracted by de-crosslinking the ESM. The extracted S-ESM at different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt %) was mixed with WPU. Compared to virgin WPU, the viscosity of S-ESM/WPU dispersion and the in-plane coefficient of friction (COF) of the composite film surfaces decreased with an increase in the S-ESM content. In addition, an increase in the S-ESM content improved the tribo-positive characteristics of the film. Different good touch-feeling biomaterials, such as fur, feather, and human skin exhibit tribo-positivity. Thus, the enhanced tribo-positive characteristics of the S-ESM/WPU and the decrease in their COF owing to an increase in the S-ESM content imply the enhancement of its touch-feeling performance. The S-ESM embedded WPU composites have potential applications as coating materials in various fields, including automobile interiors and artificial leather.

Objectives: Socket grafting is vital to prevent bone resorption after tooth extraction. Several techniques to prevent resorption have been described, and various bone graft substitutes have been developed and used with varying success. We conducted this pilot study to evaluate the performance of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from chicken eggshells in socket preservation. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single center, outcome assessor-blinded evaluation of 23 sockets (11 patients) grafted with nHA and covered with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane as a barrier. Bone width and radiographic bone density were measured using digital radiographs at 1, 12, and 24 weeks post-procedure. Postoperative histomorphometric and micro-computed tomography (CT) evaluation were performed. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Results: All patients had uneventful wound healing without graft material displacement or leaching despite partial exposure of the grafted socket. Tissue re-epithelialized with thick gingival biotype (>3 mm). Width of the bone was maintained and radiographic density increased significantly with a trabecular pattern (73.91% of sockets) within 12 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis showed 56.52% Grade 3 bone formation and micro-CT analysis revealed newly formed bone with interconnecting trabeculae. Conclusion: Use of a PRF membrane with nHA resulted in good bone regeneration in sockets. Use of a PRF membrane prevents periosteal-releasing incisions for primary closure, thereby facilitating the preservation of keratinized mucosa and gingival architecture. This technique, which uses eggshell-derived nHA and PRF membrane from the patient's own blood, is innovative and is free of disease transfer risks. nHA is a promising economic bone graft substitute for bone regeneration and reconstruction because of the abundant availability of eggshell waste as a raw material.
