Food nanoemulsion systems consisting of water and oleoresin capsicum (OC), polyoxythylene sorbitan esters (Tween 20, 40, 60, and 80), propylene glycol (PG), sucrose monostearate (SM), and their corresponding mixtures were formulated to use as food vehicles. Tween 80 produced OC nanoemulsions with stable dispersions as one-phase systems, and the dertermined emulsification efficiencies clearly distinguished the ability of the various surfactants to emulsify OC. The nanoemulsions were prepared by both ultrasonication and self-assembly, and the nanoemulsion areas were determined using phase diagrams by measuring the sizes of the emulsions. One-phase nanoemulsions were presented, with a multiple cloudy region and phase separation that were dependent on the particle size of the emulsion. The OC nanoemulsions prepared by ultrasonication using systems of OC/Tween 80/water, OC/Tween 80/water+PG, and OC/Tween 80/water+SM, resulted in particle sizes ranging from 15 to 100 nm. Finally, the nanoemulsions maintained their initial sizes during storage, ranging from 65 to 92 nm.

The objective of this study was to develop a new reverse micelle-based microencapsulation technique to load tetracycline hydrochloride into PLGA microspheres. To do so, a reverse micellar system was formulated to dissolve tetracycline hydrochloride and water in ethyl formate with the aid of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The resultant micellar solution was used to dissolve 0.3 to 0.75 g of PLGA, and microspheres were prepared following a modified solvent quenching technique. As a control experiment, the drug was encapsulated into PLGA microspheres via a conventional methylene chloride-based emulsion procedure. The micro­spheres were then characterized with regard to drug loading efficiency, their size distribution and morphology. The reverse micellar procedure led to the formation of free-flowing, spherical microspheres with the size mode of 88 ~m. When PLGA microspheres were prepared follow­ing the conventional methylene chloride-based procedure, most of tetracycline hydrochloride leached to the aqueous external phase: A maximal loading efficiency observed our experimental conditions was below $5\%$. Their surfaces had numerous pores, while their internal architecture was honey-combed. In sharp contrast, the new reverse micellar encapsulation technique permitted the attainment of a maximal loading efficiency of 63.19 $\pm$$0.64\%$. Also, the microspheres had smooth and pore-free surfaces, and hollow cavities were absent from their internal matrices. The results of this study demonstrated that PLGA microspheres could be successfully prepared following the new reverse micellar encapsulation technique.

In order to formulate a controlled release system for oral drug delivery, the microcapsules were prepared in w/o emulsion containing cefaclor as a water-soluble model drug by th e method of interfacial polycondensation. Gelatin wis selected as a suitable polymer for interfacial polycondensation. Gelatin solution containing drug was emulsified in an organic phase under mechanical stirring. After emulsification, terephthaloyl chloride was added as cross linking agent, followed by mechanical stirring, washing and drying. Physical characteristics of microcapsules were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and particle size analysis. Mean particle sizes of gelatin microcapsules were, in the range, of about 20~50 ${\mu}$m. The microcapsules were in good apperance with spherical shapes before washing, but were destroyed partially after washing and drying, even though some microcapsules were still maintained in their shapes. Contents of cefaclor in the microcapsules were calculated by UV spectrophotometry after 3 days extraction with pH 4 carbonate buffer solution. The effects of cross linking time. pH. concentration of cross-linking agent, and temperature on drug release kinetics have been discussed extensively.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are added to different food products for a long time due to health beneficial effects on human host. LAB is applied in dairy products, such as yoghurt, cheese, and various fermented products, and also in non-dairy products, such as sausages. However, reaching the human gut alive as well as in a sufficient cell amount to exert positive health effects is still a big challenge, due to LAB sensitive character and vulnerability against harsh and detrimental conditions in human digestive system. Keeping physiological activity of sensitive LAB strains alive is for the formulation of novel food products with a probiotic health claim of utmost interest, thus microencapsulation has been applied and investigated as a promising technique for a good and reliable protection. Microencapsulation allows reduced cell injury or cell loss by retaining cells within the encapsulating membrane and can be enforced by spray-drying, emulsion, extrusion, and a range of other technologies in combination with an appropriate coating material, such as alginate, chitosan, and mixture of these two polymers. In this review, established and well-studied microencapsulation techniques with their favored coating materials, as well as the recent applications of microencapsulated LAB into dairy products will be discussed.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have been regarded to behave similar to the vegetable oil emulsions because emulsions of lipid melts are formed before lipid droplets being solidified to turn into SLNs. Compared to lipid emulsion, however, it has been more difficult to obtain stable SLNs and needs more extensive considerations on stabilizer and manufacturing process. In the present study, we tried to prepare phosphatidylcholine-based trymyristin (TM) SLNs using high pressure homogenization method and optimize the manufacturing variables such as homogenization pressure, number of homogenization cycles, cooling temperature, co-stabilizer and freeze-drying with cryoprotectants. Nano-sized TM particles could be Prepared using egg Phosphatidylcholine and pegylated phospholipids ($PEG_{2000}$PE) as stabilizers. Based on the optimization study, the dispersion was manufactured by homogenization under the pressure of 100 MPa for more than 5 cycles, and solidifying the intermediately formed lipid melt droplets by dipping in liquid nitrogen followed by thawing at room temperature. In addition, TM SLNs could be freeze-dried and then redispersed easily without significant particle size changes after freeze drying with 10% and 12.5% sucrose or trehalose. The TM SLNs established in this study can be used as delivery system for drugs and cosmetics.

Recently, there has been considerably interested in the development to new functional gemini type anionic surfactant, sodium bis-n-alkyl sulfonatosuccinate, had been synthesized through the addition reaction of sodium bisulfite to bis-n-alkyl maleate, in which water was azeotropically distilled by adding benzene to the reaction system, gave a good yield. All the surface activities including krafft point, surface tension, emulsion power and foaming were measure and cmc was evaluated in dilute solution. This results showed a lower ability in $27{\sim}30dyne/cm$ than single-chain surfactant with $32{\sim}35dyne/cm$ to surface tension. Also its cmc value much smaller in $(6.5{\sim}10){\times}10^{-4}mca{\ell}/{\ell}$ than single-chain surfactant with $(40{\sim}45){\times}10^{-4}mca{\ell}/{\ell}$ concentration. In foaming ability and foam stability of gemini surfactant had especially a good ability in approximately $100{\sim}150ml$, and in emulsing power they exhibited a good emulsing phase and stability, and Krafft points were $0{\sim}10^{\circ}C$.

With increasing consumer demand for "clean label" products, the use of natural ingredients is required in the food industry. Protein/polysaccharide complexes are considered good alternatives to synthetic emulsifiers and stabilizers for formulating stable emulsion-based foods. Milk protein and carrageenan are widely used to improve the physical properties and stability of dairy food products. In a previous study, milk protein isolate (MPI) was conjugated with 𝛋-carrageenan (𝛋-Car) in a wet-heating system through the Maillard reaction, and the Maillard conjugates (MC) derived from MPI and 𝛋-Car effectively improved the stability of oil-in-water emulsions. Therefore, MPI/𝛋-Car conjugates were used in whipping cream as natural emulsifiers in this study, and the physical and rheological properties of whipping creams stabilized using MPI/𝛋-Car MC and MPI/𝛋-Car electrostatic complexes (EC) were investigated. The whipping creams stabilized with MPI/𝛋-Car MC have lower rheological parameters (η_a,50, K, G', and G'') than those of whipping creams stabilized with MPI/𝛋-Car EC. Although the overrun value was slightly reduced owing to the addition of MPI/𝛋-Car MC, the stability of the whipped creams with MC was effectively improved due to enhanced water-holding ability by conjugation.

In this research, a high-elasticity acrylic emulsion binder with core-shell polymerization and self-crosslinking system is mixed with a flame-retardant water-dispersed polyurethane (PUD) binder. In addition, finite element analysis was conducted through virtual engineering software ANSYS by applying three representative nonlinear material models. The most suitable nonlinear material model was selected after the relative comparison between the actual experimental values and the predicted values of the properties derived from simulations. The selected nonlinear material model is intended to be used as a nonlinear material model for computational simulation analysis that simulates the experimental environment of the vibration test (ASTM E1399) and the actual fire safety test (ASTM E1966). When the mass fraction of thermally expandable graphite was 0.7%, the thermal and physical properties were the best. Among the nonlinear material models, the simulation result of the Ogden model showed the closest value to the actual result.

In vitro와 in vivo에서 양조간장과 glucose-lysine 모델 멜라노이딘의 항산화효과를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. In vitro에서 양조간장과 멜라노이딘의 항산화효과를 linoleic acid emulsion계를 이용하여 비교하였을 때 양조간장과 멜라노이딘은 대조군에 비해 우수한 항산화활성을 나타내었고 특히 양조간장의 효과가 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 역시 멜라노이딘에 비해 양조간장의 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 지방산 조성이 상이한 옥수수기름과 어유를 섭취시킨 흰쥐에 10% 양조간장 및 멜라노이딘을 5주간 섭취시켰을 때 간의 지방산 조성은 섭취 지방산에 따라 차이가 뚜렷하였으나 양조간장과 멜라노이딘의 효과는 대조군과 유사하였다. 지질 과산화물 생성정도를 TBARS로 측정하였을 때 불포화지방산 함량이 높은 어유 섭취군에서 지질과산화가 증가하였으며 간장과 멜라노이딘은 지질과산화를 억제하는 효과를 나타내었다. CL(chemilurninescence)-HPLC 방법을 이용하여 간과 혈장의 막 인지질 PCOOH 함량을 측정한 결과, 어유의 섭취는 옥수수기름 섭취 군에 비해 지질 과산화를 월등히 증가시켰고 양조간장과 멜라노이딘의 섭취는 유의적으로 지질 과산화를 억제한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 양조간장의 효과가 멜라노이딘 보다 우수하여 이는 콩유래 항산화물질인 수용성 펩티드나 저분자 단백질들이 효과적으로 항산화활성을 나타낸 것으로 여겨지며, 불포화지방산이 높은 식품의 섭취시 간장을 소스로 이용하는 것이 지질의 과산화를 억제할 것으로 기대되어진다.
