  • Even though chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) is utilized in a pre-treatment due to its effective sterilizing activity for microorganisms and its safety for food, it has a limitation in maintaining freshness of the food product. In this study, a low-concentration $ClO_2$ gas was produced in a packaging form of air-permeable gel pack so that it could be released continuously over several days. The amount of $ClO_2$ gas emission and microbial inactivation effect against foodborne pathogens were measured during the release of $ClO_2$ gas. As a result of measuring the change of color in order to confirm whether the chlorine dioxide gas was eluted in the form of a sustained release, the yellowness was significantly higher at higher gel pack concentration and higher value during storage periods. The slow-released $ClO_2$ gel-pack showed clear inactivation effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with 99.9% inactivation efficiency. As a result of measuring the sterilization effect of Listeria monocytogenes by the concentration of chlorine dioxide gas, the sterilization effect was increased as the concentration was increased. Therefore, the slow-released $ClO_2$ gel-pack is feasible to apply for industry usages.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to establish a basis for application time and cold therapy interval by checking the physiological changes after applying a cold-gel and ice pack, commonly applied to cold therapy, and after passive rewarming. Method: A total of 22 healthy adults used cold-gel packs and ice packs in a Randomized control group repeated measurement study, and passive rewarming was performed for 40 minutes after 30 minutes of cold therapy. After applying to the right axilla, StO2, SpO2, peripheral blood flow, skin and body temperature were measured 15 times every 5 minutes. Result: In the cold-gel pack group, StO2 decreased from 69.43% to 61.06% after 30 minutes application, and in the ice pack group, StO2 decreased from 67.66% to 64.80% (p <001). In the cold-gel pack group, skin temperature decreased from 33.57℃ to 29.15℃ after 30 minutes application, and in the ice pack group, skin temperature decreased from 32.64℃ to 28.90℃ (p <.001). Only skin temperature recovered completely after 40 minutes of rewarming. There were insignificant differences between the cold-gel pack and ice pack. Conclusion: When applying cold therapy to the axillary, at least 40 minutes for passive rewarming is necessary after 30 minutes of application.

  • The purpose of this study is to observe the heat transfer process in in-vivo human muscle based on Proton Resonance Frequency(PRF) method in Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI). MRI was obtained to measure the temperature variation according to the heat transfer in phantom and in-vivo human calf muscle. A phantom(2% agarose gel) was used in this experiment. MR temperature measurement was compared with the direct temperature measurement using a T-type thermocouple. After heating agarose gel to more than 5$0^{\circ}C$ in boiling hot water, raw data were acquired every 3 minutes during one hour cooling period for a phantom case. For human study heat was forced to deliver into volunteer's calf muscle using hot pack. Reference data were once acquired before a hot pack emits heat and raw data were acquired every 2 minutes during 30minutes. Acquired raw data were reconstructed to phase-difference images with reference image to observe the temperature change. Phase-difference of the phantom was linearly proportional to the temperature change in the range of 34.2$^{\circ}C$ and 50.2$^{\circ}C$. Temperature resolution was 0.0457 radian /$^{\circ}C$(0.0038 ppm/$^{\circ}C$) in phantom case. In vivo-case, mean phase-difference in near region from the hot pack is smaller than that in far region. Different temperature distribution was observed in proportion to a distance from heat source.

  • Currently, most of the chlorine dioxide gas is processed at the beginning of storage or distribution. It has the disadvantage of not being able to continuously process gas since there is no system that can continuously process it during the distribution process. Therefore, in order to minimize changes in freshness and quality during the distribution process of agrifood, there is a need for a sustained-release chlorine dioxide gas treatment technology that can be continuously released. Therefore, in this study, the film to be used was examined so that the chlorine dioxide gas can be continuously released for a certain period of time, the concentration of the reactant and the viscosity at the time of the reaction were determined, and a chlorine dioxide gas gel pack was manufactured using this optimal condition. In addition, the gel pack was used to measure the amount of chlorine dioxide gas released and the sterilization effect of food poisoning bacteria.

  • Water-based systems are dominating the coating market because of worldwide VOCs regulations. Research is focusing especially on waterborne polyurethane (WPU) because of its unique mechanical and chemical properties. However, commercial WPU consists of linear thermoplastic polymers with polar groups on the main chain, which do not perform as well as solvent-borne PU in a two-pack system. In this study, APTES were used as a chain crosslink agent to overcome commercial WPU's limited performance. WPUs synthesized by using a sol-gel process were evaluated with FT-IR, particle analysis, TGA, tensile tests, pull-off tests, SEM, and EIS. The results showed that WPUs with added APTES had better thermal stability, mechanical properties, and water resistance than did WPUs without added APTES. Consequently, the sol-gel process increased the crosslink density of WPUs and modified the WPU's own properties.

  • To increase the shelf-life of strawberry, samples were treated with two gel packs containing slow-released chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) gas at 3~5 ppm for 6 days at room temperature and the changes in the major chemical components (ascorbic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanin) contents and antioxidative activities (DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging and metal chelating activity) were investigated. The content of ascorbic acid of control was 40.38 mg% and contained 35.67~44.75 mg% during 6 days. There was no tendency to increase or decrease during storage period. The contents of ascorbic acid of control and 3~5 ppm $ClO_2$ gas treated samples were not significantly different during storage period. The content of polyphenol compounds of initial stage was 111.23 mg% and contained 117.78~132.40 mg% during 6 days. The contents of polyphenol compounds of 3~5 ppm $ClO_2$ gas treated samples were 103.51~130.25 mg%. There were no significant different between them during storage. The flavonoids and anthocyanin contents were not different from the control during storage period regardless of 3~5 ppm $ClO_2$ gas treatment. Furthermore, antioxidative activities were not different among the control and $ClO_2$ gas treatments during storage.

  • To extend the shelf-life of chicken breast meat, samples were treated with gel-packs containing slow-released $ClO_2$ gas at 7-15 ppm for 8 days at $4^{\circ}C$. And the changes in lipid oxidation and taste compounds of the samples were investigated. TBARS value of the chicken breast was slightly increased during storage. TBARS value of gas treatments was similar to the control during storage. There were 14 fatty acids in the chicken breast. And there was no change in the fatty acid composition during storage, and there was no significant difference between the control and gas treatments. The content of free amino acids was gradually increased during storage. The content of free amino acids were not significantly different between the control and gas treatments during storage. The content of GMP in the control and gas treatments were decreased during storage. However, gas treatments showed slightly higher content than that of control. AMP was not significantly different between the control and gas treatments. IMP gradually decreased during storage and the content of inosine and hypoxanthine was increased. IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine contents of gas treatment were similar to control, but the control tended to change more rapidly than those of gas treatments.
