This study was conducted to investigate whether four hot-water extraction steps could effectively remove off-flavor from bovine bone extracts and produce compounds with pleasant aroma. Experiments were performed using a mass spectrometry-electronic nose and Fourier transform-near infrared spectrometer (FT-NIR). Off-flavor compounds were removed by washing and extraction with hot water. Steaming treatment produced compounds with a better aroma, such as 4-methylthiazole. In addition, a change in flavor compounds was observed in treated samples.

This study was conducted to identify the geographical origin of soybeans in Cheonggukjang by analyzing its organic components and inorganic elements with Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) and with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) coupled with multivariate statistical analysis. For method development, 280 samples from various regions were collected and analyzed. The discriminant accuracy for the developed methods was 97.5% for FT-NIRS and 98.0% for ED-XRF with multivariate statistical analysis. A validation test confirmed the discriminant accuracy to be 96.3% for FT-NIRS and 95.0% for ED-XRF. Overall, the results showed that methods using FT-NIRS and ED-XRF could be used to identify the geographical origin of Cheonggukjang.

Objective: The present study was to investigate the extraction conditions of dietary fiber from dried cassava pulp (DCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains (CDG) under different NaOH concentrations, and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to determine the dietary fiber components. Methods: The dried samples (DCP and CDG) were treated with various concentrations of NaOH at levels of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% using a completely randomized design with 4 replications of each. After extraction, the residual DCP and CDG dietary fiber were dried in a hot air oven at 55℃ to 60℃. Finally, the oven dried extracted dietary fiber was powdered to a particle size of 1 mm. Both extracted dietary fibers were analyzed for their chemical composition and determined by FTIR. Results: The DCP and CDG treated with NaOH linearly or quadratically or cubically (p<0.05) increased the total dietary fiber (TDF) and insoluble fiber (IDF). The optimal conditions for extracting dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were under treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively, as these conditions yielded the highest TDF and IDF contents. These results were associated with the FTIR spectra integration for a semi-quantitative analysis, which obtained the highest cellulose content in dietary fiber extracted from DCP and CDG with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. The principal component analysis illustrated clear separation of spectral distribution in cassava pulp extracted dietary fiber (DFCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains extracted dietary fiber (DFCDG) when treated with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively. Conclusion: The optimal conditions for the extraction of dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy proved itself to be a powerful tool for fiber identification.

Using FT-IR, we determined the depth of silylated layers produced from various gas-phase-silylation conditions was proposed by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic analysis. The depth of silylated layer was determined from absorbance measurments of the significant peaks (Si-O-ph, Si-C, Si-H) of FT-IR spectra with background spectrum subtraction method. And the results were compared with thickness measurments of SEM. The results were well agree with SEM. It found to be well suited for determining silylation process window.

In order to prevent roll-over and a rapid boil-off of LNG in tanks, the phase equilibria of carbon dioxide in liquefied natural gas components as binary mixtures at cryogenic temperatures have been experimentally measured using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with a specially designed variable pressure/temperature cryostat cell (pathlength 2 mm; pressures up to 30 bar). Solid carbon dioxide has been found to be comparatively soluble in liquid nitrogen (3.25$\times$${10}^{-6}$ mole fraction), liquid methane (1.04$\times$${10}^{-4}$ mole fraction), liquid ethane (3.1$\times$${10}^{-2}$ mole fraction) and liquid propane (6.11$\times$${10}^{-2}$ mole fraction) at their normal boiling temperatures. The solubilities of carbon dioxide in various cryogens, which increased with increasing temperature, are much lower than those obtained by others using gas chromatography. The differences are attributed to infrared spectroscopy selectively measuring dissolved solute in situ whereas gas chromatography measures microscopic particulate solid in addition to dissolved solute.

Adsorption structures of the self-assembled thin films of $\alpha$-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) anchoring on $TiO_2$ surfaces have been studied by using temperature-dependent diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. From the presence of the strong $\nu(COO^-)$ band at ~1390 $cm^{-1}$ along with the disappearance of the OH bands in the carboxylic acid group in the DRIFT spectra at room temperature, CHCA appeared to adsorb onto $TiO_2$ surfaces as a carboxylate form. The absence of the out-of-plane benzene ring modes of CHCA in the DRIFT spectra suggests a rather vertical orientation of CHCA on $TiO_2$. Above ~220$ ^{\circ}C$, CHCA seemed to start to thermally degrade on $TiO_2$ surfaces referring from the disappearance of most vibrational modes in the DRIFT spectra, whereas the $\nu$(C ≡ N) bands were found to remain relatively conspicuous as the temperature increased even up to ~460$^{\circ}C$.

Hydroxyapatite films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by using a sol-gel method with calcium nitrate and phosphoric acid as starting materials. Precursor sols were spin-coated onto the substrates and prefired at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in air. Formation of the hydroxypatite structure was confirmed in the sample annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ by the X-ray diffraction $\theta$-2$\theta$ scans and a tricalcium phosphate phase was observed in the samples annealed at both temperature regions of $500^{\circ}C$~$700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. From the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the change of a carbon content and improvement of crystallinity have been discussed as a function of increase of annealing temperature.

Hydrophobic thin films are variously applicable for encapsulation of organic devices and water repulsive glass, etc. In this work, the stability of hydrophobic characteristics of plasma polymerized tetrakis (trimethylsilyloxy) silane (ppTTMSS) thin films were investigated. The films were deposited with plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the glass. The deposition plasma power and deposition pressure was 70 W and 600 mTorr, respectively. Thereafter, deposited films were treated by 248nm KrF excimer laser. Stability of hydrophobic properties of plasma polymerized tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane film surface was tested by excimer laser irradiation, which is thought to simulate severe outdoor conditions. Excimer laser irradiation cycles changed from 10 to 200 cycles. The chemical structure and hydrophobicity of ppTTMSS films were analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and water contact angle (WCA) measurement, respectively. Absorption spectra peaks and WCA of excimer laser treated ppTTMSS films did not change notably. These results show that our ppTTMSS films possess stable hydrophobic properties.

To determine whether pattern recognition based on metabolite fingerprinting for whole cell extracts of higher plants is applied to discriminate plants genetically, leaf samples of eight cultivars of Catharanthus roseus were subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). FT-IR fingerprint region data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). Major peaks as biomarkers were identified as the most significant contributors to distinguish samples by using genetic programming. A hierarchical dendrogram based on the results from PCA separated the eight cultivars into two major groups in the same manner as the dendrograms based on genetic fingerprinting methods such as RAPD and AFLP. A slight difference between the dendrograms was found only in branching pattern within each subgroup. Therefore, we conclude that the hierarchical dendrogram based on PCA of the FT-IR data represents the most probable chemotaxonomical relationship between cultivars, which is in general agreement with the genetic relationship determined by conventional DNA fingerprinting methods.
