[ $TiO_2/UV$ ] system에서 azo dye 중 반응성 염료의 광촉매 산화분해에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 광촉매 산화공정은 다양한 인자에 의해 영향을 받으며 이런 인자들의 산화반응에서 효과 및 특성을 파악하고 예측식 모형을 추정하기란 매우 힘든 작업이다. 따라서 본 연구는 실험계획법 중 박스-벤켄법(Box-Behnken method)을 이용하여 2인자 3수준의 실험디자인으로 최적의 산화조건을 찾기 위한 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 본 실험에서 색도 제거율($Y_1$)의 반응모형에 가장 크게 영향을 끼치는 항은 주 효과(선형효과)와 교차항으로 나타났고 그 중 $x_2$(dye concentration)가 가장 민감하게 반응모형에 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었다. $COD_{Cr}(Y_2)$의 반응모형의 경우 $Y_1$의 모형과 마찬가지로 주 효과(선형효과) 및 교차항이 모델의 생성에 가장 중요한 모수로 작용하였지만 $Y_1$와 달리 $x_1(TiO_2)$ 및 $x_2$(dye concentration) 모두 반응 모형에서 민감하게 서로 상호작용하며 영향을 주었다. 최적의 산화조건을 찾기 위해 정준분석 중 능선분석을 수행한 결과 $Y_1:(X_1,\;X_2)$=(1.11 g/L, 51.2 mg/L), $Y_2:(X_1,\;X_2)$=(1.42 g/L, 72.83 mg/L)의 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 모형의 검증결과 매우 높은 신뢰성을 보였다.

The current study was conducted to determine the optimum length of feed withdrawal for pre-harvest broilers. A total of three hundred broilers were sampled from an industrial population, and 30 chicks for each weight group (e.g., 1.5 and 2.5 kg) were randomly assigned to feed withdrawal treatments for 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 h. Weight loss, yield, muscle pH, objective meat color and weights of gastro intestinal contents, crop, gizzard, provenriculus, small intestine, caecum, and rectum were determined. Live weight loss was significantly (p<0.05) increased as length of feed withdrawal extended. A significant (p<0.05) carcass yield for both 1.5 and 2.5 kg groups coincided after 9 and 6 h feed withdrawal, respectively. Net weights of intestinal contents for crop and gizzard were significantly (p<0.05) reduced by 6 h, and the reduction for proventriculus and small intestine occurred from 3 h. A noticeable effect of feed withdrawal on pH for breast muscle at 3 h postmortem occurred only when chicks were fasted for 3 h of which pH (6.05) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that for other groups including the control (5.74). There was a linear tendency of higher lightness (Hunter L* value) numerically for chicks fasted for longer periods. The highest coefficient of determinations of regression models to estimate weight loss as a function of fasting period and body weights were achieved, when the models included both linear and quadratic terms for fasting period, and linear term for both 1.5 ($R^2=0.76$) and 2.5 kg ($R^2=0.78$) body weight groups. Given the practical aspect, approximately 1.5 kg of body weight is dominant, weight loss could be predicted by the following function; live weight $loss=26.6-0.28{\times}(fasting period)^2+12.34{\times}pasting\;period-0.012{\times}body\;weight$, $R^2=0.76$. Current data implied that the optimum fasting time for pre-slaughter chicks varied depending on slaughter weight; 6 and 9-h fasting were recommendable for 2.5 and 1.5 kg chicks, with little effect on objective meat color.
