One of the practical limitations with the use of liposomes for delivery of the pharmaceutical substances such antigens is that liposomes are relatively unstable in storage. In order to extend the stability of liposome in storage without affecting their functional activity, solution-type liposomes were dehydrated to form a structurally intact dry liposomes. Comparative immunological evaluation was carried out for both dry and solution-type liposomes containing gag-V3 chimera, consequently it was found that dry liposomes elicited both humoral and cellular response as efficiently as solution-type liposemes did against the same gag-V3 antigen. Especially, long-term stability of the liposomes was remarkably enhanced by the dehydration made to loposomes without a significant change in its ability to elicit immune response in vivo. These results indicate that dry pH-sensitive liposome may become an effective delivery and adjuvant system for general vaccine development.

In this study, the effect of ${\beta}$-sitosterol (SS) in the liposome bilayer on the stability of incorporated retinol was evaluated. Retinol was incorporated into liposomes consisting of various ratios of soybean phoaphatidylcholine (PC) to SS, while liposomes were prepared as multilamellar vesicles by the dehydration/rehydration method. Retinol was readily incorporated into liposomes with various SS contents, with incorporation efficiencies higher than 98% for all conditions. The incorporation efficiency of retinol increased slightly as the SS content in liposomes increased. Its average particle size also increased as the SS content increased. Mean particle size at PC to SS ratios of 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50 were 12.16, 17.57, 35.00, 40.62, 83.45, and $88.94\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Liposomal retinol degradation in aqueous solution was measured with respect to SS content at various periods of time at four different temperatures of 4, 25, 37, and $50^{\circ}C$, and the stability of the incorporated retinol enhanced as the SS content increased. At $4^{\circ}C$, for example, retinol in the liposomes of 50:50 (PC:SS) remained at 84.42% after storage for 10 days, while in 100:0 (PC/SS) it remained at 42.62%. These results indicate that SS content in liposomes played an important role in the incorporation efficiency of retinol and its stability.

SS은 식물성 스테롤로서 인체에 유익한 생리활성을 나타낸다. 리포솜 인지질을 PC과 SS로 구성하고, ASA를 탈수/재수화 방법에 의해 포집시킨 후, ASA의 안정성을 분석하였다. 리포솜의 평균 크기는 SS 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, SS는 포집된 ASA의 안정성을 향상시켰다. 예를 들어, 완충용액에 존재하는 ASA는 4℃에서 8일간 저장하면 7.66%가 잔존하지만, 100:0, 90:10, 70:30 (PC/SS)로 조성된 리포솜에 포집된 ASA는 같은 조건에서 각각 34.12, 49.88, 58.58%가 잔존하였다. 이러한 결과는 리포솜에서 SS가 포집된 ASA의 안정성을 향상시킴을 의미한다.

We investigated the effect of the phase transition temperature (T$_{c}$) of phospholipid in liposomes on the stability of incorporated retinol. Two kinds of phospholipid which have different T$_{c}$, L- $\alpha$ -dimyristoyl phosphatidyl choline (DMPC, T$_{c}$=22$^{\circ}$C) and D,L- $\alpha$ -dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC, T$_{c}$=42$^{\circ}$), were used to prepare liposomes. Liposome with retinol was prepared as multilamella vesicles (MLVs) by the dehydration/rehydration method. The incorporation efficiency of retinol into liposomes prepared from DMPC and DPPC were 99.89$\pm$0.08% and 99.97$\pm$0.03, respectively. The average size of liposomes from DPPC were greater than that of DMPC. Two kinds of liposomes in phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.0) were stored at 15, 30, and 5$0^{\circ}C$, and stability of incorporated retinol was analyzed. The stability of retinol in DMPC liposome was decreased, whereas the stability in DPPC liposome was increased as temperature increased, although the overall protection effect of liposome on the incorporated retinol was greater in DMPC liposomes than in DPPC liposomes.posomes.

Enterobacter sakazakii, designated as an unique microbial species in 1980, may cause bacteremia, necrotizing enterocolitis and infant meningitis. The distribution and the thermostability of E. sakazakii in unprocessed ready-to-eat (RTE) agricultural products of 252 and in 25 powdered infant formulas (PIF) were analyzed. Eighty one, 50, 43, and 47% of brown rice, pumpkin, potato, and carrot samples, respectively, had aerobic plate counts (ARC) in the range of 5 log CFU/g or more. Almost all the other products sampled had APC of approximately 2 log CFU/g. Fifty three, 75, 67, and 68% of banana, pumpkin, soybean, and carrot had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 3 log CFU/g. Sixty six percent of the brown rice tested had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 5-6 log CFU/g. E. sakazakii was isolated from 3/25(12%), 4/23(17%), 1/24(4%), and 1/27(4%) of PIF, brown rice, laver, and tomato samples, respectively. D-values were 3.52-4.79 min at 60 and $D_{60}-values$ were similar as the isolates reported. Thermal inactivation of four thermovariant E. sakazakii strains during the rehydration of PIF with hot water were investigated. At $50^{\circ}C$, the levels of E. sakazakii decreased one log CFU/g for 4-6 min and thereafter the levels remained stable for 20 min. At $60^{\circ}C$, inactivation by about 2 log CFU/g occurred for 20 min. Therefore, the unprocessed agricultural products might be a source of contamination for PIF when used as an ingredient after drying and pulverization. Rehydration of PIF for infant feeding with a water temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ rather than $50^{\circ}C$, as recommended by the manufacturers, may be helpful in the reduction of potential E. sakazakii risk.

The hydrolyzed-lactose milk for the lactase-deficient subject is sweeter than whole milk, and some subjects dislike its taste. To overcome this shortcoming the dried liposomes containing ${\beta}$-galactosidase to digest lactose in milk after drinking were prepared and examined the possible application of this dried liposomes to the lactase-deficient subjects. To improve the stability of conventional liposome suspension, the dried liposomes in the presence of trehalose were prepared by the dehydration-rehydration vesicles method. Small unilamellar vesicles, prepared with egg phosphatidyl cholesterol, and cholesterol, were mixed with ${\beta}$-galactosidase solution and then ;up[jo;ozed. The freeze-dried liposome was rehydrated and centrifuged. The resultant multilamellar vesicles were mixed with trehalose(4g/g lipid) and then lyophilized to produce final dried liposome. Trehalose increased the entrapping efficiency of liposomes by 3 fo1d compared to the liposomes without trehalose (13% vs. 46%).

Ascorbic acid의 불안정성을 극복하기 위하여, 탈수화/재수화의 방법을 이용하여 soybean phosphatidyl choline으로 제조한 리포솜에 ascorbic acid를 미세캡슐화하였다. Ascorbic acid는 46.8%의 효율로 리포솜내에 포집되었다. 리포솜 내에서의 ascorbic acid는 수용액에서보다 안정성이 매우 증대되었다. 예로 pH 5.0의 acetate buffer에서의 ascorbic acid는 7일 경과 후에 대부분이 산화되지만, 같은 조건에서 리포솜에 미세캡슐화되었을 경우는 40일이 경과하여도 22.8%가 환원된 상태를 유지하였다. 이러한 결과는 리포솜으로 ascorbic acid를 미세캡슐화하면 저장 기간을 향상시키는 보호 수단으로 이용될 수 있음을 의미한다.

대표적 근채류인 당근을 이용하여 데치기 및 열풍, 감압 및 동결 건조방법에 따른 저장 중 품질변화를 관찰하였다. 열풍 및 감압에서의 건조율 비교 시 데치기한 당근(BC)는 데치기를 하지 않은 당근(RC)보다 빠르게 건조되었으며. 재수화에 의한 복원률은 모든 건조방법에서 RC가 BC보다 높았다. Carotene은 열풍과 감압건조 후 상온 저장 시 BC가 RC보다 잘 유지되었다. 갈변은 모든 건조방법에서 BC가 RC보다 낮게 나타나 데치기에 의해 억제됨을 알 수 있었으며, 동결건조 당근이 가장 덜 갈변되었다. 당근의 경도는 건조 후에 크게 감소하였으나, 열풍건조와 감압건조 당근은 유사한 값을 보였으며 동결건조 당근에 비해 높은 값을 나타내었다. BC와 RC의 경도 비교의 경우에는 모든 건조방법에서 BC가 RC보다 현저히 높게 나타났으며 저장 중 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 또한 모든 건조당근에서 BC가 세포구조 및 미세구조가 더욱 안정하며 일정하여 데치기의 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Although liposome has many advantages as a pharmaceutical dosage form, its application in the industrial field has been limited because of some problems such as preparation method, reproducibility, scale-up, stability and sterilization etc. Liposomes prepared by microemulsification method had defined size, narrow size distribution, reproducibility and high entrapment efficiency. For enhancing the stability, the dry form of liposome was recommended. These types of liposome are proliposome and freeze-dried liposome. The liposome must have some properties for preparing of freeze-dried liposome; small size $(50{\sim}200\;nm)$, narrow size distribution and cryoprotectant. In this experiment, the liposomes containing 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU) and its prodrug(pentyl-5-FU-1-acetate; PFA, hexyl-5-FU-1-acetate; HFA) were made with soybean phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, stearylamine(SA) and dicetyl phosphate(DCP) employing hydration method or microemulsification method using $Microfluidizer^{TM}$. Both or liposome types were MLV and MEL. After preparation, freeze drying and rehydration were performed. In the process of freezing, trehalose(Tr) was added as a cryoprotectant. Their evaluation methods were as follows; entrapment efficiency, mean particle size and size distribution, dissolution test, retain of entrapment efficiency and turbidity after freeze-drying. The results are summarized as belows. The entrapment efficiency of 5-FU was dependent on total lipid concentration and cholesterol content but that of PFA and HFA was decreased when cholesterol was added. When DCP and SA were added, entrapment efficiency was decreased. As the partition coefficient of drug was increased, entrapment efficiency was increased. Under the same condition, entrapment efficiency of MEL is similar to that of MLV. The mean particle size and size distribution of MEL were smaller than those of MLV. Dissolution rates of drug from both liposome types were comparatively similar. Dissolution rates of drugs with serum and liver homogenate were faster than without these material. After preparation of liposome, free drug was removed efficiency by Dowex 50W-X4. When liposome was freeze-dried and then rehydrated in the presence of Tr, characteristics of liposome were maintained well in MEL than MLV. Tr Was used successfully as a cryoprotectant in the process of freeze drying and the optimal ratio of Tr:Lipid was 4:1(g/g).
