신선편이 파프리카의 이산화염소수와 푸마르산의 병합 살균 처리의 효과와 그에 따른 미생물의 생장 변화를 분석하였다. 병합처리를 통해 파프리카에서의 총 호기성 세균과 접종된 L. monocytogenes는 대조구에 비해 각각 0.82, 1.21 log CFU/g의 감균 효과를 얻었다. 또한 저장 10일 후에는 미생물 수가 1.21, 2.10 log CFU/g 감소하였다. 파프리카 시료를 10일간 저장하면서 미생물 수를 측정한 결과를 Gompertz model을 이용하여 최대성장속도와 유도기를 구함으로써 미생물의 생장 예측 모델에 적용하였다. 모델 식의 적합성 평가를 위해 $R^2$, $A_f$, $B_f$, 등의 값을 계산한 결과, 모두 1에 가까운 결과가 나와 측정값과 예측된 값 사이의 적합성이 뛰어났다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 이산화염소수와 푸마르산의 병합처리는 신선편이 파프리카에 오염된 미생물 수를 감소시킬 뿐 만 아니라, 미생물의 최대성장속도를 감소시키고 유도기를 증가시킴으로써 미생물 생육을 제어할 수 있음을 보여준다.

방사선 조사(5, 10 kGy)와 훈증처리$(MeBr,\;PH_3)$된 건고추의 저장조건(실온,4, 8개월)에 따른 미생물학적, 수분함량, 기계적 색도 및 흡광특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 처리군별 미생물 농도에서 무처리 시료의 총세균은 분말 고추 $4.8\times10^5\;CFU/g$, 통고추 $1.8\times10^2\;CFU/g$ 수준이었고, 효모 및 곰팡이는 분말 고추 $1.7\times10^5\;CFU/g$, 통고추 $5.0\times10^2\;CHU/g$수준으로 통고추에 비해 분말 고추가 높은 미생물 농도를 나타내었다. 그러나 대장균군은 모든 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. 특히, 화학 훈증제는 살균 효과가 거의 나타나지 않았으나 5 kGy범위의 감마선 조사는 모든 미생물 농도를 $2\~3\;log$ cycle 이상 감소시킬 수 있었다. 건고추의 수분함량은 감마선과 훈증처리에 의해 거의 변화되지 않았으나 저장조건의 영향이 크게 나타났다. 건고추 과육 추출물의 흡광특성은 처리군간에 차이가 없었다. 과피의 명도(L)는 처리직후 10 kGy 조사군과 MeBr 처리군에서 적색도(a)와 황색도(b)는 감마선과 훈증처리군에서 각각 낮은 (p<0.05) 값을 보였으나 저장 4개월 이후에는 무처리군과 처리군간에 유의적이 차이가 없었으며, 저장기간은 시료의 색도변화에 유의적인 영향을 나타내었다.

Electron beam, electrically produced from an electron accelerator, was compared with gamma energy in terms of its influence on color and organoleptic qualities of ginseng powders when exposed to the energy used for their microbial decontamination. Hunter color L and b values were suitable for measuring color characteristics of ginseng powders, which were not significantly changed by the exposure to 5 to 7.5 kGy electron beam and gamma energy. Fifty percent ethanol extracts of irradiated ginseng powders at 10 key showed negligible differences from the non-irradiated control in the pattern of absorption spectra at 280∼800 am, but showed increased values in overall color difference (AE) as compared with powdered samples. Irradiation more than 10 kGy and storage at ambient temperature for 4 months caused browning of powdered samples. Irradiation at more than 10 kGy of electron beam was found a critical level to bring about appreciable changes (p<0.05) in or-ganoleptic qualities such as color and odor of sterilized samples, and red ginseng powder was more susceptible than white one to organoleptic changes by irradiation.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of plant as a botanical air purification on the indoor pollution by formaldehyde. Three indoor plants such as Dracaena marhginata, Spathiphyllum and Dracaena reflexa, were placed in the artificially contaminated reactor under laboratory condition. Both plant and soil effects on removal of formaldehyde from contaminated indoor air were observed. Reductions in the formaldehyde levels appeared to have been associated with soil medium factors as well as plant factors. The effect of soil on formaldehyde reduction was high in the early stage of the experiment and the results suggest that sorption could be more important factor than microbial degradation in the initial dissipation of contaminants in the soil. It was suggested that the effect of plant on formaldehyde reduction might be related to the plant species, total leaf surface area of plant, degree of contribution of soil medium, and exposed concentration level. The results of this study showed that air purification using plants is an effective means of reduction on indoor formaldehyde level, though, utilization of soil media with high sorption capacity and/or supplementary purifying aids were also suggested when the source is continuous or exposed concentration level is high.

Color characteristics were investigated for white ginseng powder immediately and during storage following treatments of gamma ray or ethylene oxide (EO) for microbial decontamination. The variation in fatand water-soluble pigments of the sample was negligible immediately after both treatments, however an apparent increase was observed in the samples stored for four months at $25^{\circ}C$ and RH 90%, in the order of nontreated control, EO-fumigated, and 5 key-irradiated samples. Hunter's color a and b values of white ginseng powder increased slightly in proportion to irradiation doses, whereas EO fumigation caused a decrease in L value and an increase in a and b values of the sample, showing overall color difference (${\delta}^E$) of 1.8. Considering the higher ${\delta}^E$ in the higher RH conditions, airtight packaging and sterilization using like gamma ray were considered an effective means for maintaining high quality of color characteristics in stored white ginseng powder.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the guidelines for cleaning the feeding bags by comparing the level of contamination according to cleaning and disinfection methods when feeding tube of Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit patients. Methods: This study was a true-experimental study, with 48 cases in total. The feeding bag of 48 patients were randomly assigned to detergent cleaning method or disinfectant decontamination method. The period of the experiment was January to July 2008, and enteral nutrition was given within 30 minutes for 2 hours, 4 times a day at 7AM, noon, 5PM, and 9PM for seven days. Feeding bags were cleaned after each feeding according to the assigned cleaning and disinfection method followed by microbial cultures on 4th and 8th day before the 7AM feeding. Results: After three and seven days of feeding and cleaning, the level of contamination was significantly lower when bags were cleaned with disinfectant than cleaning with detergent and tepid water. Conclusion: In cases where feeding bags are reused, for example, intensive care unit and home care settings, study findings indicate that cleaning bags with disinfectant is an effective way to prevent contamination of bags.

$5{\sim}10\;kGy$ 범위의 감마선 조사는 한방약재에 오염된 유기체를 완전사멸 시켜 저장중 미생물학적 품질 안전성을 가져왔으며, 한방약재의 유효성분 추출율을 약 $5{\sim}25%$ 증대시킬 뿐만 아니라 추출시간의 단축효과도 나타냈다. 또한 살균 및 유효성분의 추출율이 증대된 조사선량에서 한방약재의 몇 가지 생리적 활성(항산화력, 항보체능력, 아질산염 소거능, 전자공여능)은 비조사군과 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Microbiological quality of commercial white ginseng was examined, together with investigation on its water absorption pattern and radiosensitivity of molds isolated from the samples. Comparative effects of phosphine fumigation and gamma irradiation on microbial control and disinfestation of the samples packed in a commercial laminated film and stored for six months at ambient(20oC, 70% RH) and accelerated(40oC, 90% RH) conditions were studied. Commercial white ginseng was contaminated with coliforms by 103~104CFU/g and molds by 102~104CFU/g and thus decontamination process was required for hygienic quality and storage stability. Phosphine fumigation showed no sterilizing effects on microbes contaminated, while gamma irradiation at around 5kGy was effective for decontaminating microorganisms, showing D10 values of 0.48~0.60kGy for isolated molds. Even though the storage insects, Plodia interpuctella Hubner and Lasioderma serricorne(cigarette beetle) were easily destroyed by phosphine fumigation, gamma irradiation less than 5kGy was found effective for both purposes to improve biological quality of stored white ginseng, thereby extending the storage life of packed samples resulting from increased critical moisture content by about 1%(Aw 0.76).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aquatic plant as a botanical air purification on the indoor air pollution by formaldehyde. Three aquatic plants such as Eichhornia crassipes, Cyperus alternifolius, Echinodorus cordifolius, were selected for this study and they were placed in the artificially contaminated chamber under laboratory condition. The results showed that all three plants could remove the formaldehyde from the contaminated air system effectively. Reduction in the formaldehyde levels by Eichhornia crassipes, which is the floating plant, might be associated with the factors of plant and water. Reduction in the formaldehyde levels by Cyperus helferi and Echinodorus cordifolius, which were emergent plant, was due to the complex effect of plant, soil medium and water. In aquatic plant system, dissolution, microbial degradation in rhizosphere, uptake through root and shoot, sorption to soil and shoot, hydrolysis are known as the main mechanisms of water soluble pollutants in the given system. The advantages of indoor air quality control system using aquatic plants can be; 1) various purifying mechanisms than foliage plants, 2) effective for decontamination of water soluble pollutants; 3) easy for maintenance; 4) diverse application potential. Therefore it was suggested from the results that indoor air control system of aquatic plants should be more effective for reduction of indoor air pollutants.

The comparative effects of gamma irradiation an ozone treatment on the microbiological and physicochemical qualities were investigated for the improvement of hygienic quality of aloe powder and bee pollen. Gamma irradiation at 7.5~10kGy could reduce total aerobic bacteria, molds and coliforms below detection levels, but ozone treatment up to 18 ppm for 8hr was not sufficient to eliminate the microorganisms from aloe powder and bee pollen. The physicochemical properties such as fatty acid an amino acid compositions, mineral content, TBA value, barbaloin and pigment contents were not significantly changed by gamma irradiation, whereas ozone treatment caused significant changes in fatty acid composition, lipid oxidation and destruction of barbaloin and natural pigments.
