  • Ssamjang samples were prepared by central composite design for five independent variables, Gochujang mash aging period $(X_1)$, Doenjang aging period $(X_2)$, Doenjang content $(X_3)$, sterilization temperature $(X_4)$ and storage temperature $(X_5)$. Browning characteristics of Ssamjang were analyzed such as water activity, free amino acids, free sugars and color during storage. Water activities of Ssamjang were ranged from 0.605 to 0.666 at the beginning of storage, and were shown to be the highest at the 8th week of storage and then decreased gradually. Among free amino acids the content of glutamic acid was the highest. Proline, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and serine were slightly higher than the others. Larger amounts of free amino acids and free sugars were observed from the sample sterilized at $60^{\circ}C$ when compared to that at $70^{\circ}C$. Glucose, fructose and maltose as free sugars were identified from Ssamjang and glucose content was the largest among. During the storage, lightness $(L^*)$, redness $(a^*)$ and yellowness $(b^*)$ of Ssamjang were decreased and total color difference $({\Delta}E)$ was increased. The color changes in the sample surface were more affected by temperature of which storage temperature was more influenced than sterilization temperature.

  • Sutures are used not only for wound closure but also for oriental medicine field, beauty and even for plastic surgery. Especially, it is popular in the field of cosmetic surgery. In this paper, we produced sutures using PCL and PLLA with better strength than PDO sutures, which was widely used in the past. To learn about the mechanical characteristics of the PCL and PLLA sutures, the contraction change, tensile strength, and elongation were measured. And SEM was also analyzed for diameter and surface. The contraction change Ratio of sutures are stabilized after a certain period of time regardless of temperature. Also, it can be seen that the higher the temperature, the higher the contraction increase rate. And the rate change of mechanical properties is different according to the temperature before and after the glass temperature. Also the higher the temperature, the faster the molecular motion and the lower the tensile strength. The diameter of the PLLA and PCL sutures is opposite to the contraction change ratio. And it is considered that the sterilization temperature of PLLA sutures is best to set at $45^{\circ}C$ and the sterilization temperature of PCL sutures is best to set at $35^{\circ}C$.

  • Cytotoxic substances in dental calculus and root cementum of periodontally diseased teeth inhibit new attachment and regeneration. The purpose of scaling and root planing is to remove pathologic structures harboring these cytotoxic substances in order to create a biologically acceptable root surface. However, these procedures inevitably leave a non-biocompatible smear layer. Conventionally, the smear layer has been removed with low pH etching agents such as citric acid, phosphoric acid and tetracycline hydrochloride(TC). Lately, a supersaturated neutral pH etching solution of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) has been found to be as effective as low pH etchants with respect to smear removal and to be superior in exposing root surfaceassociated collagen. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of root surface treatment using EDTA on the initial attachment of human gingival fibroblasts. 27 human teeth, extracted due to severe periodontitis, were cut into dentin slices after root planing. The specimens were divided into TC group(treated with $50㎎/m{\ell}$ tetracycline-HCl, pH 1.52), EDTA group(treated with 17% EDTA, pH 7.4), and non-treated control group. After sterilization, 5th subcultured human gingival fibroblasts were seeded in each culture well containing a prepared root slice and incubated for 15 min., 60 min., and 4 hours in 5% $CO_2$ incubator at $37^{\circ}C$. At each incubation time, the number of attached fibroblasts were counted on the microphotographs taken at a magnification of x100. The difference of the number of attached cells between groups was statistically analyzed by the ANOVA followed by Duncan test in SPSS/PC+programs. The results were as follows : 1. After incubation for 15 min, the attached cells were significantly more in EDTA group and TC group than non-treated control group(p<0.05), but there was no significance in the difference between EDTA group and TC group(p>0.1). 2. After incubation for 60 min and 4 hours, there was no significant difference in the number of attached cells between all groups(p>0.1). 3. In both EDTA group and TC group, there was no significant difference in the number of attached cells between different incubation(p>0.1). But in control group, the number of attached cells was significantly increased after incubation for 60 min, compared with incubation for 15 min(p<0.05). The above results suggest that root surface treatment using EDTA could enhance the initial attachment of gingival fibroblasts to root surface as effective as tetracycline-HCl.

  • In order to process instant foods which hold appropriate moisture contents and soft texture, four kinds of retort pouched seasoned-oyster products were prepared as control, seasoned products, solid smoked and liquid smoked product after seasoning and their processing conditions and quality stability during 100 days of storage were investigated. The optimum processing conditions of retort pouched seasoned-oyster product were as follows ; namely, raw oyster was seasoned at $105^{\circ}C$ for 10 min with seasoning solution prepared from sugar, sorbitol, salt, monosodium glutamate and 5'-ribonucleotide and then dipped for 30 seconds in Smoke-EZ solution(Alpha Foods Co., Ltd.) after predried for 30 min in hot-air drier. After. smoking, the seasoned and liquid smoked oyster was dried at $40-42^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 hours, vacuum packed in plastic film bag, and sterilized in a hot water circulating retort at $120^{\circ}C$ for 16 min. Comparing their quality before and after sterilization, TBA value of all the products after sterilization slightly decreased and among texture profiles hardness, toughness and chewiness slightly decreased, while elasticity and cohesiveness were rarely changed. Color value (a value) of the product treated with solid smoke or liquid smoke increased after sterilization. During storage pH, VBM and water activity of all products changed little and TBA values of the solid smoked product and liquid smoked one were lower than that of the others. Viable cell count was negative and texture changed little during storage. As for color difference during storage, green meat appeared on the surface of control and seasoned product after 15 days storage, while the masking of green meat could achieved by solid and liquid smoking treatment. And liquid smelling treatment was more effective than solid smoking. As a conclusion, retort pouched seasoned-oyster product treated with liquid smoke kept their good quality during 100 days storage and it seemed to be consumed as one of the instant foods which hold appropriate moisture contents and soft texture.

  • A characteristic study of chlorine dioxide generation by the electrolysis system was performed after chlorite ($ClO_2^-$) is adsorbed from sodium chlorite by a polymer ion exchange resin. A strongly basic anion exchange resin was used and a Ti plate coated with Ru and Ir was used as an electrode. Various parameters such as reaction stirring velocity, reaction temperature, chlorine dioxide product concentration, ion exchange resin content and product maker type for the adsorption quantity in the chlorite adsorption of ion exchange resin were investigated and found the ion exchange resin with the maximum adsorption quantity. A generation trend of chlorine dioxide was observed by the electrolysis system and optimum conditions on the desired value were found using response surface design of DOE (Design of Experiments). The strongly basic anion exchange resin with the maximum adsorption quantity was SAR-20 (TRILITE Gel type II) and the adsorption quantity was around 110 mg/IER (g). Observed generation optimum conditions of chlorine dioxide were constant-current (electrode area base; $A/dm^2$) and flow rate of $N_2$ gas (4.7 L/min) at the desired value of sterilization (900~1000 ppm, 1 h).

  • Cryopreservation is one of the ideal and suitable methods for long-term storage of plant germplasm. The plant contaminated with diseases and pathogens are decreased the multiplication rate, survival rate and high quality of plants after cryopreservation. The aim of this work was to improve a micropropagation method for lily in Korea, which is indigenous plant. In the last process of rinsing scales after surface-sterilization, we tried to control the diseases and pathogens lived within the tissue by rinsing in 0.03% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) instead of sterile distilled water. Bulb scales of Lilium were cultured in vitro on MS medium supplemented with Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM). The results showed that L. tsingtauense accessions were observed ranged from 53.9 to 100% with a mean value of 76.8% and L. hansonii accessions were checked from 84.5 to 85.5% with a mean of 85% survival rate. The newly small bulb formed from bulb-scales was transferred to MS medium. We checked the presence of microorganisms and survival rate after 3 weeks in culture after examination of bacterial incidences. The results indicated that the non-contamination rate were shown ranged from 75.0 to 94.1% with mean value of 83.2% in L. tsingtauense species, and that L. hansonii were observed 85.1 to 91.7% with mean value of 88.4%. This study will provide a valuable basis for establishment of effective axenic cultures for in vitro micropropagation of Korean native lily species.

  • Intense pulsed light (IPL), a nonthermal technology, has attracted increasing interest as a food processing technology. However, its efficacy in inactivating microorganisms has not been evaluated thoroughly. In this study, we investigated the influence of IPL treatment on the inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 depending on light intensity, treatment time, and pulse number. Increased light intensity from 500 V to 1,000 V, raised the inactivation rate at room temperature. At 1000 V, the cell numbers were reduced by 7.1 log cycles within 120 s. In addition, increased pulse number or decreased distance between the light source and sample surface also led to an increase in the inactivation rate. IPL exposure caused a significant increase in the absorption at 260 nm of the suspending agent used in our experiments. This indicates that IPL-treated cells were damaged, consequently releasing intracellular materials. The growth of IPL-irradiated cells were delayed by about 5 h. The degree of damage to the cells after IPL treatment was confimed by transmission electron microscopy.
