This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of the natural dishwashing liquid added with the mixture extracts of Curcuma Longa L. (CL), Morus alba (MA) and Ecklonia cava (EC) at various concentrations. The pH and lightness of the natural dishwashing liquid were reduced by adding the mixture extracts, while the turbidity was increased. The natural dish washing liquid added with mixture extracts was shown to display strong antimicrobial activities against L. monocytogenes compared to that of control. Also, it revealed that antioxidant activity was increased depending on concentrations. However, natural dishwashing liquid added with mixture extracts showed the low detergency efficiency. In sensory evaluation, the natural dishwashing liquid containing CL 0.5%, MA 0.25% and EC 0.25% was preferred than the control and it showed negative result in skin patch test. These results suggest that the addition of CL 0.5%, MA 0.25% and EC 0.25% positively improved the qualities characteristics in the natural dish washing liquid.

A high cell density culture system for the anchorage dependent CHO cells was developed based on the combination of in removal of ammonium ion and microcarrier culture system, and semi-fed-batch feeding of glucose and glutamine was employed to the developed culture system. The glass bead was selected as an optimum microcarrier in terms of cell growth. An ammonium ion selective zeolite, Phillipsite-Gismondine, was packed in a dialysis menium ion. The semi-fed-batch operation was employer to the novel culture system for the high density cell culture, and the results showed the cell growth was improved by 32% and tPA productivity by 250%.

This study investigated the heat stability of L-ascorbic acid (AA) in acetic acid solution. To analyze the degradation of AA using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), AA was measured at a wavelength of 244 nm in acetic acid and 265 nm in distilled water. During the storage of AA in acetic acid or distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$, degradation of AA was slower in acetic acid than in distilled water. On examining various ratios of AA to acetic acid, the stability of AA at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min was the highest when the concentration of acetic acid was 10 times higher than the concentration of AA. After acetic acid was added into AA degraded by heating, the AA is stabilized by reheating. Ultimately, these results indicate that degraded AA is reduced by hydrogen ions dissociated from acetic acid, and the rate of reduction of degraded AA in acetic acid solution is improved with heat processing.

Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) was extracted from Korean Mytilus edulis and then partially purified using Sephacryl S-300 gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. As an indicator of adhesiveness, is 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) content was determined. Its DOPA/protein ratio of 0.19 was higher than those of other reports, indicating a good adhesive. The partially purified MAP was confirmed by acid-urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using cetylpiridinium bromide as a cationic detergent. Sea mussel hydrolysates were prepared using three commercial proteases to provide value-added functional materials and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were determined. Among hydrolysates of sea mussel, Protamex was the best and further purification would improved ACE inhibitory activity.

Nanocomposite has been considered as an emerging technology in developing a novel food packaging materials. Polymer nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved packaging properties due to their nanometer size dispersion. These improvements include increased barrier properties pertaining to gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, as well as to UV rays, and increased mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. Additionally, biologically active ingredients can be added to impart the desired functional properties to the resulting packaging materials. New packaging materials created with this technology demonstrate an increased shelf life with maintaining high quality of the product. Nanotechnology offers big benefits for packaging. Nanocomposite technology paves the way for packaging innovation in the flexible and rigid packaging applications, offering enhanced properties such as greater barrier protection, increased shelf life and lighter-weight materials.

Changes in quality of blanched vegetables(carrot, green onion, spinach) by microwave heating were evaluated. Ceramic coating treatment(CCT) within microwave oven caused the reduction of blanching time and Hunter's L, a, b values of vegetables. Also, CCT showed the higher cutting force compared to NCCT after microwave heating. Photomicrographs of cross-section of blanched vegetables after heating in ceramic coated microwave oven showed better appearance than those in nonceramic coated microwave oven. CCT process improved retention of vitamin C.

We investigated the unequivalence of Food Sanitation law, School Foodservice law and recent reports studied about hazard analysis critical control point(HACCP) system. We also found out that cook's duties were expressed several times in the standard job classification in Korea national statistical office based by the international labor organization(ILO) since 1963, but not ever in the Food Sanitation law and School Foodservice law. Based on these investigations We propose clear expression of cook's duties in the Food Sanitation law and School Foodservice law, and enactment of regulation or law of Cook to reduce any possible food poisonings. However these proposals need to be studied and improved in many different ways for the revision and enactment of the law of cook.

Soybean and mungbean sprouts are vegetables indigenous to Korea which have been grown throughout the year from the most remote age. They had been called interchangeably as duchaeah or duah. Control method of environmental conditions for soybean or mungbean sprouts growing had been already appreciated from long time ago. A growing method once developed might have been handed over considerable period. Siroo (시루) and yongsoo (용수) had been the most common containers and the watering skill is of the utmost importance for soybean sprouts growing. As the demand of soybean sprouts in the market increased, a pit has been used for bean sprouts growing, and transformed into regular soybean sprouts factory. Now bean sprouts are international food and the demand of bean sprouts seems permanent in Korea. Accordingly the long-term policy concerned with the production of soybean sprouts should be prepared, placing emphasis on improved quality and safety.

Instant powders that only require mixing with water prior to consumption can be produced by extrusion for use in products such as instant beverages. Both extrusion processing conditions and particle size of powder are important to end-product characteristics. In this study, a twin-screw extruder was used under various processing conditions (feed moisture, barrel temperature, and screw speed) to produce extrudates from soft wheat flour, which were ground to powders with particle size ranges of less than 93, 93-145, and $145-249\;{\mu}m$. Effects of adding soy lecithin to wheat flour before extrusion were also investigated. Water absorption, solubility, suspension viscosity, and dispersibility of wheat powders were related to specific. mechanical energy measured during extrusion. Powder particle size was important to instant properties, especially ease of dispersal in water and stability to sedimentation. Addition of lecithin significantly improved dispersibility of powders.

This study aimed to determine microbiological quality on vegetable salad used dressing added with Prunus mume extracts. For this study, Dressing were blended with Prunus mume extracts to different concentrations of 0, 10, and 20%. Microbiological effects of vegetable salad used dressing added with Prunus mume extracts were assessed during production process by measuring process time, temperature, pH and Aw and determining total plate counts and coliforms. Effects of vegetable salad used dressing added with Prunus mume extracts on total plate counts and coliforms were observed during holding at 3, $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours. Dressing added with Prunus mume extracts improved the microbiological quality and showed antibacterial properties when they are added to vegetable salad.
