  • This study is concerned about the characteristics of ultrasonic-energy-added W/O type emulsified fuel. The distilled water was mixed with diesel oil by using ultrasonic energy fuel feeding system and then the SMD of sprayed droplets was measured to find out atomization characteristics of emulsified fuel by using the Malvern 2600 system. The capacitance value was measured to verify stability of the same specimen by using the digital LCR meter, EDC1630 additionally. The main results are as follows; 1) The more measuring distance increases between one hole nozzle tip and analyser bearm, the more SMD increases. 2) The more water content increases, the more capacitance value increases depending on the time. Main Parameters of the study are the amount of water content $0{\sim}30%$ by 5% in emulsified fuel, and the measurement distance, $20{\sim}140mm$ by 10mm or 20mm between nozzle tip and analyser beam.

  • Seed priming leading to improved emergences, germination speed and uniformity under unfavorable conditions without loss of longevity are the best level of techniques. We studied the possibility to obtain primed seed with reduced mean germination time (MGT) and uniformity but with simple, fast and effective methods. The experiments were carried out at $15^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours with priming treatment. To compare the effects of each treatment, we used 200mM $CaCl_2$ priming or hydro priming or no imbibition after ultrasonication or red light treatment. The light treatment was performed by irradiating 2000 lux of red light for 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. Addition, in order to investigate the effect of the priming solution, treated at 200mM $CaCl_2$ for 8 hours. Ultrasonication treatment was performed for 5, 10, and 20 minutes at exposures of 13.0, 17.3, and 21.6 kHz during priming. For liquid smoke (LS) treatment, seed soaked in 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 10.0% of diluted water and 200mM $CaCl_2$ solution. After each treatment, the seeds were dried to moisture content ranged 5-8% at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The effect of seed treatment was evaluated with germination percentage (GP), MGT, germination index(GI), germination rate(GR), Germination Uniformity(GU) and heath seed percentage(HS). For several factors tested, we found that the desired germination improvement could be obtained by treating the seed with ultrasonication at 17.3 kHz for 5 minutes in water or red light exposure at 2000 lux for 120 min in water that resulted very similar to those used to 200mM $CaCl_2$ priming for 16 hrs. However, LS treatment showed no improvement in all diluted solution. Therefore, the methods applied ultrasonication and red light treatment showed high potential for fast and easy treatment avoiding pollution of salt solution waste.

  • The lyotropic behaviors to form the structure of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC)-based liquid crystal (LC) hydrated by only propylene glycol (PG) without water were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractions (XRD), polarized microscope (PM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). By increasing the amount of PG instead of water, it showed the phase transition to be gradually changed from anisotropic structures to other structures more close to isotropic ones and their appearance to be changed from solid-like states to liquid-like ones with more fluidity. Below 50% w/w PG, the mixtures of DSPC and PG resulted in no direct observation of LC structure through PM because they were very close to solid-states. From 55% w/w to 90% w/w of PG, the dense lamella crystalline structures were observed through PM, and their thickness and area decreased as the content of PG increased. Measured by DSC with heating process, the main phase transition from α -lamella phase to isotropic phase appeared from 52.89 °C to 47.41 °C to show linearly decreasing behaviors because PG affects the hydrophobic region of DSPC-based lamella phase. The repeating distance of the lamella phase and the interlayer distance between bilayers were calculated with XRDs and the average number of bilayers related to the thickness in LC structure was approximately estimated by combining with TEM results. The WAXS and DSC measurements showed that all of PG molecules contributed to swelling both the lipid layer in the edge region of lamella phase close to phosphate groups and the interlayer between bilayers below 90% w/w of PG. The phase and thermal behaviors were found to depend on the amount of PG used by means of dissolving DSPC as a phospholipid and rearranging its structure. Instead of water, the inducement of PG as a polar solvent in solid-lamella phase is discussed in terms of the swelling effect of PG for DSPC-based lamella membrane.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the contents of water-soluble vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) and B12 (cyanocobalamin) in seafood-based dishes by using the high-performance liquid chromatography with the ultra violet and fluorescence detector. The vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B12 contents were analyzed in 29 seafood-based dishes. The method validation was performed on the method to determine the linearity, accuracy, limits of quantification, limits of detection and precision for vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B12. An excellent linearity range (R2=0.999~1.000) in the calibration curve for the water-soluble vitamins was observed. All analytical methods for the water-soluble vitamins showed the acceptable accuracy (89.4~119.7% recovery) and the precision (0.6~4.8% repeatability and 1.0~4.2% reproducibility). The highest content of vitamin B1 was 2.646 mg/100 g in the kkongchi-jorim, and the highest contents of vitamin B2, B3 and B12 were 0.370 mg/100 g, 10.971 mg/100 g, and 17.193 ㎍/100 g, respectively, in the kkongchi-gui. Our results provide reliable data on the contents of the water-soluble vitamins of seafood-based dishes in Korea.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing(EO) water, electrolyzed oxidizing water with 0.5% citron juice and 0.1% aluminium potassium sulfate (APS) solution as the storing liquids to maintain quality and extend shelf life of peeled taro. Water content of peeled taro increased from 80.55% to 82.12∼84.24% after 25 days storage due to moisture absorption. However, there were no significant difference between treatments. In case of color value of peeled taro, L value was slowly decreased and a, b value was generally increased. Texture of peeled taro decreased from initial 4,520$\pm$75 g to 4,160$\pm$80 g after 25 days storage in EO water with 0.5% citron juice, which is the least reduction value in all treatments. Treatment of EO water with 0.5% citron juice maintained 6.99 mg%(57%) of total vitamin C after 25 days storage which showed highest total vitamin C content between treatments. In most treatments, total sugar was decreased in fast rate for 15 days storage and slowly decreased after 15 days storage. Free sugar content was not changed significantly during storage. In case of sucrose content which is the major portion of free sugar, reduction continued until the midst of storage. and after that it increased to 1.5∼2 times of initial contents. However, there were no differences between treatments and storage days in contents of fructose, glucose and maltose. Major amino acids in peeled taro were aspartic acid and glutamic acid with 1,084.8 and 691.8 mg/100g respectively. At 25 days of storage, aspartic acid content in treatment of EO water was increased about 13.9%. Treatment of EO water with 0.5% citron juice was the most effective in respect to the reduction ratio of total amount of essential amino acids.

  • Usually the flowing concrete manufactured upon normal-mixed base concrete would segregate due to the less of fine particle content. In the previous studies, a new type admixture(liquid segregation reducing type superplasticizer) has been developed to prevent such segregation without modification of base concrete mixture. In this study, the tests are performed in laboratory to evaluate the admixture by analyzing the properties of flowing concrete with different water to cement ratios, so that it could be used in the fields. According to the results, this kind of superplasticizer could improve the fluidity of concrete without causing segregation. However, it seems to be more desirable of the superplasticizer could be adjusted, before it is put into the practical use, not to cause some other problems such as rapid rate of slump and air loss and retarding of setting time.

  • 많은 경우 액성한계 이상의 함수비 상태를 각즌 지반을 액체상태로 표현한다. 액체상태의 공학적 의미는 유효응력이 존재하지 않은 상태로 볼 수 있으며, 전단강도가 0임을 의미한다. 그러나 실제로는 액성한계 이상의 함수비를 갖는 지반에서도 유효응력이 존재하며, 따라서 전단강도가 존재한다. 연약한 해성점토의 경우는 이러한 경우가 비교적 흔하다. 일반적으로 액체상태란 용어에서 연상되는 지반상태는 물과 같은 상태로서 기술자로 하여금 지반의 상태에 대한 올바른 감을 가지는 것을 어렵게 한다. 본 고는 Bolt 의 electrical double layer 이론을 이용한 이론적 해석 및 실험적 자료들을 이용하여 액성한계란 용어의 올바른 제조명에 초점을 맞추었다.

  • For defining the possibilities of the commercial mass liquid culture of Cordyceps sinensis, the pharmacological activities of mycelia were analyzed. The mycelium of C. sinensis consists of carbohydrate (5.1%) and fat (1.3%), and contains a low content of protein (0.7%) and ash (0.5%), and 92.4% moisture. The molecular sugar ratio of carbohydrate was composed mainly of glucose, mannose (1.0 : 0.9), in addition a small amount of galactose and arabinose (0.2 : 0.1). The cellular materials of mycelia were fractionated into ethylacetate (EA), MeOH (M) and hot-water extract fraction (HW). HW fraction showed the most potent intestinal immune system modulating activity, anti-coagulant activity, and anti-complementary activity, and M fraction had the inhibition activity of radical generation as effective as genistine. These results reveal that the mycelium of liquid cultured C. sinensis showed pharmacological activities and could be used for commercial purpose.
