Fine structures of the testis and vas deferens in the fall-web worm, Hyphantria cunea Drury, are studied with electron microscope. Adult worms have single testis close to the midlines of the abdomen. Testis is composed of 4 follicles which are incompletly separated from each other and bounded together by a peritoneal sheath. The peritoneal sheath consisted of outer cuticular layer and two kinds of inner layers, in which glycogen particles are dispersed commonly. These two layers are divided by the morphology of cytoplasmic granules. Follicular epithelium forming the wall of the follicles have melanin pigment granules, and trachea or tracheoles are extended through this epithelium. In the cysts of adult testis, matured spermatozoa are grouped together in bundles and after releasing the sperm bundles to the vas deferens, lamellar shaped lysosomes appeared in the cytoplasms of the cyst cells. The number of spermatozoa per cyst is exactly 256 ($2^8$), this number is characteristics of the Lepidoperan species. Vas deferens is a tube with a fairly thick bounding epithelium, a basement membrane and a layer of circular muscle outside it. At the apical portion of the epithelial cells, microvilli are well developed. And in the cytoplasms of these cells, numerous excretory granules are observed.

밀병(watercore)은 과실의 저장 및 유통 산업에 있어서 큰 영향을 주므로 이를 비파괴측정할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 투광량을 이용한 사과의 밀병 판별 가능성과 밀병 판별에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 조사하였다. 사과의 화상데이터는 CCD 카메라를 사용하여 영상을 취득하였다. 밀병이 많이 든 사과는 밀병이 적게 든 사과보다 투광량이 더 많았으며 투광량에 의한 사과의 밀병 판별 정확도는 약 70%이었다. 사과의 과피두께, 색소층 두께, 과육밀도 등이 투광량에 영향을 미치는데 과피와 색소층의 두께가 얇고 과육밀도가 낮을수록 투광량은 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 사과의 착색정도가 좋을수록 밀병이 존재할 확률이 높았으며 착색분포는 밀병판별에 거의 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The null pigmentation mutant (npgA1) of Aspergillus nidulans was previously characterized by its production of no pigment at any stage of its life cycle, its reduction in hyphal branching, and its delay in the asexual spore development. The chemical composition of the cell wall was also altered in npgA1 mutants that became more sensitive to Novozyme 234$\^$TM/, which is possibly due to a structural defect in the cell wall. To investigate the effects of the cell wall structure on these pleiomorphic phenomena, we examined the ultrastructure of the cell wall in the npgA1 mutant (WX17). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) showed that after being cultured for six days, the outermost layer of the conidial wall of WX17 peeled off. Although this phenotype suggested that the cell wall structure in WX17 may be modified, examination using TEM of the fine structure of cross-sectioned hyphal wall of WX17 did not show any differences from that of FGSC4. However, staining for carbohydrates of wall layers showed that the electron-translucent layer of the cell wall was missing in WX17. In addition, the outermost layer H1 of the hyphal wall was also absent in WX17. The ultrastructural observation and cytochemical analysis of cell walls suggested that the pigmentation defect in WX17 may be attributed to the lack of a layer in the cell wall.

To characterize the coating structure, diverse methods such as mercury intrusion, nitrogen adsorption and oil absorption methods have been developed and widely employed. These indirect techniques, however, have some limitation to explain the actual coating structure. Recently microscopic observation methods have been tried for analyzing structural characteristics of coating layers. Preparation of the undamaged cross section of a coating layer is essential for obtaining high quality image for analysis. In this study, distortion-free cross-section of the coating layer was prepared using a grinding and polishing technique. The coated paper was embedded in epoxy resin and cured. After curing the resin block it was ground with abrasive papers and then polished with diamond particle suspension and nylon cloth. Polished coating layer was sufficient enough to obtain undamaged cross sectional images with scanning electron microscope under backscattered electron image mode. In addition, the SEM images allowed distinction of the coating layer components. Also S/B latex film formed between pigment particles was visualized by osmium tetroxide staining. Pore size distribution and pore orientation were evaluated by image analysis from SEM cross-sectional images.

김(해태)의 중요색소인 chlorophyll, carotenoid, phycobilin 색소의 가공 및 저장중의 안정도를 실험하였다. 생김의 색소함량, 생김의 저온저장, 초제$\cdot$건조김의 열 처리, 열 처리한 김의 실온저장시에 일어나는 이들 색소의 면화에 대한 실험 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 생김의 chlorophyll a, xanthophyll (lutein+zeaxanthin), 및 carotene ($\alpha-+\beta-carotene$)의 함량은 각각 1,525, 627, $409{\mu}g/g$였고 $\beta-carotene$, lutein, zeaxanthin, 및 $\alpha-carotene$의 비교 함량은 33.7, 35.9, 12.2, $5.8\%$의 순이었다. 2. 생김을 실온($20^{\circ}-25^{\circ}C),\;2^{\circ}\~5^{\circ}C$, 및 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 때색소의 감소는 대체로 $2^{\circ}\~5^{\circ}C$때가 다른 조건에서 보다 적었는데 carotene만은 $-15^{\circ}C$때가 $2^{\circ}\~5^{\circ}C$때 보바 다소 남은 결과였다. Phycocyanin은 Phycoeythrin 보다 많은 감소를 보였다. 3. 초제$\cdot$일건한 김 또는 초제 직후의 김을 $40^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;80^{\circ},\;100^{\circ}C$에서 열 처리하였을 때 양자의 경우 모두저온에서 처리할수록 색소감소가 적었고 carotenoid는 전자보다 후자의 경우 감소량이 적었다. Carotenoid중 xanthophyll은 carotene보다 열에 안정하였다. Phycoerythrin은 phycocyanin보다 열에 불안정한 경향이 였는데 높은 온도일수록 현저하였다. 4. 열 처리한 김을 50일간 저장하였을 때, 색소의 변화는 열 처리 온도에 따라 다소의 차는 있었으나 $60^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 것이 대체로 감소량이 적었다. 그러나 큰 차이는 없었다. Xanthophyll, carotene, phycobilin은 모두 고온에서 처리한 것이 저장중의 색소 감소율이 낮았고 따라서 장기저장이 가능한 것 같은 경향을 나타내었다. Xanthophyll과 carotene은 일광건조하지 않고 열 처리한 것에서 감소가 적은 만면 chlorophyll a는 일건 열 처리한 것에서 낮은 감소를 보였다. 5. 색소의 안정도와 분해반응의 억제를 감안한 열처리조건은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 $6.0\%$ 정도의 수분량을 유지할 때까지 처리하거나 그 이상의 고온에서 처리하되 열에 의한 색소의 분해를 최소한으로 하는 시간으로 한정하는 것이 적당하다고 보았다. 6. 김초제액의 PH조절은 저장중에 있어서의 chlorophyll a의 안정화에 효과가 있었으며 pH 7.8일 때가 성적이 좋았다. 초제액에 한천, 알긴산등의 해조추출물을 첨가하였을 때 김의 균일한 성형과 율택의 증진에 효과가 있었다.

Carotenoids are the major pigment of pepper (Capsicum annuum) and tomato (Lycopersicon esulentum) which are very important foods in Korea. However the analysis of carotenoids is quite complicated because of their diversity and the presence of cis-trans isomeric forms of these compounds. The objective of this review is to collect the achievements on the field of the chromatographic separation of carotenoids in food and some vegetables, to describe and critically evaluate the techniques, And to compare the benefits and shortcomings of the various chromatographic methods such as adsorption and reversed-phase HPLC and thin-layer chromatography. HPLC equipped with ultra-violet or photodiode array detection is most often employed in routine use for the analysis of carotenoids. Here, the method to analyze carotenoids by HPLC separation after solvent extration and purification from pepper powder samples done in our laboratory is also mentioned.

Pretreatment process of silica-coated PET fabrics, a major low-grade PET waste, was developed using the reaction with NaOH solution. By destroying the structure of silica coating layer, impurities such as silica and pigment dyes could be removed. The removal of impurity was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The pretreated PET fabric samples were used for depolymerization into its monomer, bis(2-hydroxylethyl) terephthalate (BHET), by glycolysis with ethylene glycol (EG), and zinc acetate (ZnAc) catalyst. The quality of BHET was confirmed by DSC, TGA, HPLC and NMR analyses. The highest BHET yield of 89.23% was obtained from pretreated PET fabrics, while glycolysis with raw PET fabric yielded 85.43%. The BHET yield from untreated silica-coated PET fabrics was 60.39%. The pretreatment process enhances the monomer yield by the removal of impurity and also improves the quality of the monomer.

In general, the root color of Codonopsis lanceolata is white, but red or blue-colored root is found at a low frequency in nature. Red or blue-colored roots have scarcity value, thus farmers wish to produce colored roots. The factors for determining the color of roots are unclear whether the color is controlled by genetically or simply by environmentally such as soil environment. Using in vitro culture system which is advantageous for setting of the same culture condition, we analyzed the physiological and morphological characteristics and genetic differences among red-, blue- and white lines of C. lanceolata. In the red colored roots, stems of in vitro cultured plantlet were colored in dark red pigment. Histological analysis revealed that the red pigment was accumulated in the outer cortex layer of the stem and determined as anthocyanin. Chlorophyll contents in red root lines were higher than those in white- and blue root lines. Plantlets from red roots were smaller in both shoot length and total leaf area than those from white- and blue roots. Genetic differences among the three different colored C. lanceolata were determined by RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA) analysis. Each line of colored roots had clear DNA polymorphism. These results indicate that the occurrence of red- and blue colored roots in nature was determined by genetic factors rather than soil enviromental conditions.
