Ascorbic acid which has various physiological benefits as the functional substance is easily oxidized and destroyed by the structural instability. Liposome encapsulated pure ascorbic acid was prepared for the sake of the constraint of oxidation. The influence of cholestrol or $\beta$-sitosterol on the stabilization of liposome was investigated. Butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT), tertiary butylhydroquinone(TBHQ), $\alpha$ -glycosyl rutin and natural concentrated tocopherol were used for constraint of oxidation of ascorbic acid. The presence of cholesterol or $\beta$-sitosterol decreased oxidation of ascorbic acid. That results were thought that cholesterol or $\beta$-sitosterol so increased rigidity of bilayer that the leakage of vitamin C decreased. As a result the oxidation and degradation of vitamin C were constrained. At 0.3w/w% cholesterol content the most stable liposome was formulated. The whole antioxidant that used at the research constrained oxidation of ascorbic acid. The antioxidation for ascorbic acid increased in order of tertiary butylhydroquinone, $\alpha$-glycosyl rutin, butylated hydroxytoluene and natural concentrated tocopherol. But u -glycosyl rutin is preferable to tertiary butylhydroquinone which was the most effective in antioxidation as the antioxidant of ascorbic acid which was utilized in cosmetics and pharmacy.

In the current study, a Cu2O/TiO2 photoinduced nanocomposite materials prepared by ultrasonification method was evaluated the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of volatile organic compounds (BTEX) under visible-light irradiation. The results of XRD confirmed the successful preparation of photoinduced nanocomposite materials. However, diffraction peaks belonging to TiO2 were not confirmed for the Cu2O/TiO2. The possible reason for the absence of Cu2O peak is their low content and small particle size. The result of uv-vis spectra exhibited that the fabricated Cu2O/TiO2 can be activated under visible light irradiation. The FE-SEM/EDS and TEM showed the formation of synthesized nanocomposites and componential analysis in the undoped TiO2 and Cu2O/TiO2. The photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene with Cu2O/TiO2 were higher than undoped TiO2. According to light sources, the average oxidation efficiencies for BTEX by Cu2OT-0.5 were exhibited in the orer of 8 W day light > violet LEDs > white LEDs. However, the photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies normalized to supplied electric power were calculated to be in the following order of violet LEDs > white LEDs > 8 W day light, indicating that the LEDs could be a much more energy efficient light source for the photo-oxidation of gaseous BTEX using Cu2O/TiO2.

Bioreactors are devices used by sewage treatment plants to process sewage and which produce active sludge, and sediments separated by solid-liquid are treated in anaerobic digestion tanks. In anaerobic digestion tanks, the volume of active sludge deposits is reduced and biogas is produced. After dehydrating the digestive sludge generated after anaerobic digestion, anaerobic digested wastewater, which features a high concentration of organic matters, is generated. In this study, the decomposition of organic carbon and nitrogen was studied by advanced oxidation process. Ozone-microbubble flotation process was used for oxidation pretreatment. During ozonation, the TOC decreased by 11.6%. After ozone treatment, the TOC decreased and the removal rate reached 80.4% as a result of the Ultra Violet-Advanced Oxidation Process (UV-AOP). The results with regard to organic substances before and after treatment differed depending on the organic carbon index, such as CODMn, CODCr, and TOC. Those indexes did not change significantly in ozone treatment, but decreased significantly after the UV-AOP process as the linkage treatment, and were removed by up to 39.1%, 15.2%, and 80.4%, respectively. It was confirmed that biodegradability was improved according to the ratio of CODMn to TOC. As for the nitrogen component, the ammonia nitrogen component showed a level of 3.2×10² mg/L or more, and the content was maintained at 80% even after treatment. Since most of the contaminants are removed from the treated water and its transparency is high, this water can be utilized as a resource that contains high concentrations of nitrogen.

Anchor Engraulis japonica was fermented with $10\%$ and $20\%$ salt at $10^{\circ}C$ ($10\%$ 5A) and $20^{\circ}C$ ($20\%$ SA), respectively, and the changes in lipid content, fatty acid composition and lipid oxidation was observed for 105 days. Peroxide value (POV) in $10\%$ SA reached to the maximum (46.4 meq/kg) on 30 days of fermentation, while in $20\%$ SA, it reached the maximum (54.7 meq/kg) on 45 days of fermentation, and then decreased in both samples during fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid values revealed a similar tendency with the change of POV during the fermentation. These results indicated that lipid of the anchovy was oxidized faster in lower salt than high salt in the early stage. Total lipid (TL) content during the fermentation for 105 days decreased approximately $16\%$ in $10\%$ SA and approximately $33\%$ in $20\%$ SA. Phospholipid (PL) content also decreased in both samples and the content of neutral lipid (NL) was unchanged in $10\%$ SA, while it decreased in the same amount as PL in $20\%$ SA. The prominent fatty acids in TL of the anchovy sample were 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 16 : In-7, 18 : in-9, 20 5n-3 and 22 : 6n-3. After fermentation for 105 days, approximately $87\%$ and $67\%$ of the prominent fatty acids remained in $10\%$ SA and $20\%$ SA, respectively, but the kind of the fatty acids was unchanged.

This study was performed to verify the effects of encapsulation against oil oxidation. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of samples were compared during storage at $60^{\circ}C$, indicating that the encapsulated avocado oil had lower TBA values than the free avocado oil. Microcapsules consisting of a whey protein isolate (WPI)-only wall system had slightly improved oxidative stability; however, spray-dried particles containing a high proportion of maltodextrin (MD) clearly offered better protection from oxidation than the other forms of encapsulation. The chlorophyll (Chl) content of the encapsulated avocado oil was higher than that of the free oil sample. When compared to the control, all wall systems protected the change of the chlorophyll content storage. No large differences were observed between the encapsulated powders according to the various wall materials. The color of the encapsulated oil changed from green to yellowish-green, indicating the formation of pheophytin from chlorophyll. The yellowish color of the oil correlated with a reduced total Chl content. In conclusion, encapsulation with spray drying for avocado oil could lead to improved stability during storage with respect to oxidation and the preservation of chlorophyll.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of addition of milk minerals (2%) and α-tocopherol (0.03%) on lipid oxidation and minerals content of emulsion-type sausages. The pH values of sausage containing milk mineral alone and combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those for control and α-tocopherol. The POV values of sausage containing combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of control and α-tocopherol during storage. The TBARS values of sausage containing milk mineral alone and combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) lower then those for control and α-tocopherol. The Mg, Ca and P content of sausage containing combined with milk mineral and α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of control and the other. The K content of sausage containing α-tocopherol were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of control and the other. Milk mineral, when used with α-tocopherol, provided no additional effect on lipid oxidation, but mineral contents were higher than those of control.

The Cr-Zr-N films have much improved mechanical properties and very smooth surface roughness. However, in spite of their outstanding properties, the Cr-Zr-N coatings revealed their mechanical properties deteriorated severely with increasing Zr content at $500^{\circ}C$ ecause of very rapid oxidation. Recently oxynitride films have been widely studied due to their excellent unique mechanical properties and oxidation resistance. In this work, CrZr-O-N films with various O contents were synthesized by unbalanced magnetron sputtering with Cr-Zr segment targets (Cr:Zr volume ratios is 1：1) and all films were prepared in a nitrogen rich mixture of N2 and O2. Characteristics such as crystalline structure, hardness and chemical composition as a function of the O content were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), microhardness testing system and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results showed that the thin films had dense and compact microstructure as O content in the films increases. The microstructure of the thin films consisted of mainly crystalline Cr (Zr)N phase and Cr2O3 phase. The maximum hardness and elastic modulus of the films was measured to be approximately 33.2 GPa and 280.6 GPa from the films with low content of O elements. Detailed experimental results will be presented.

The purpose of this study was to identify the controlling factors to construct tidal flat ecosystems having similar characteristics as natural ones. We transplanted the soil in a constructed tidal flat to a natural one and vice versa. Parameters monitored after these transplantations were silt content, organic matter, bacterial population and oxidation-reduction potential. Moreover, the relationship among silt content, organic matter and bacterial population was investigated by laboratory column experiment. The silt content, organic matter, bacterial population and vortical profile of oxidation-reduction potential in the soil transplanted from the constructed tidal flat to the natural one changed to similar values to those In the natural one. On the contrary, all the parameters for the soil transplanted from the natural tidal flat to the constructed one changed to similar values as those in the constructed one. The silt contents in these two transplanted soils were in proportion to the organic carbon contents and bacterial population. Similarly, the bacterial population in laboratory column experiment increased with the increase in silt and organic matter contents. It seemed to be important to select a place to enhance accumulative of silt and/or to maintain the silt content by hydrodynamic control of seawater in order to construct a tidal flat having similar characteristics as natural one.

As the pH of ground pork increased from 5.0 to 7.0, the corresponding development of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ decreased significantly (p<.001). At the 4th day of refrigerated storage, with the increase in pH of ground pork from 5.0 to 7.0, the release of free iron decreased significantly (p<.05) from 1.50 to .99 ppm. The decrease in free iron content of pH 7 pork well explains the decrease in TBARS absorbances. The fact that the addition of 2% ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) to pH 5 ground pork decreased the oxidative rancidity development (p<.001) strongly supported the above finding that the increased free iron content of pH 5ground pork catalyze the oxidation during storage. The activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) at the 4th day of refrigerated storage decreased significantly (p<.05) when the pH of ground pork decreased from 7.0 to 5.0. Both the lower free iron content and the higher activity of GPx were proved to be important factors in controlling the oxidative rancidity of high pH ground pork.
