Literacy on food additives of elementary school teachers (ET) and nutrition teachers (NT) could be influential factor on safe dietary education for school children. Therefore, the perceptions and information needs on food additives were surveyed from 351 elementary school teachers and nutrition teachers in metropolitan area of Korea, and the basic data for the promotion of risk communication on food additives among them were obtained. Compared to ET who consider 'taste' (39.1%) as the most important factor while purchasing food, NT considered 'safety' (68.1%) first (p < 0.001). Among the food labelling items, the level of understanding on food additives was the lowest both in ET (3.53) and NT (4.17), and NT showed better levels of understanding overall on food labels. Both ET and NT regarded hazardous factors of food as environmental pollutants, foodborne pathogens, and food additives in order, and tended to select 'no additives' or 'no artificial color' products while purchasing processed food. Although NT answered that they know all food additives had been passed the evaluation of safety and effectiveness tests (100%) and have standards of use (81.9%), majority of them (87.5%) believed the consumption of food additives are harmful on human health. ET (75.2%) also regarded food additives as dangerous materials. Above results suggested the necessity of proper and enough risk communication for both ET and NT. Both ET and NT wanted to have information on the safety or hazard of food additives. Most preferred media to get the information on food additives was TV (3.80) among ET and lecture (3.65) among NT. ET and NT trusted hospital, research institution/universities or the personnels working in these institutions as the provider of information on food additives. The result that the trust levels of ET and NT on government were relative low suggested the weakness of risk communication in Korean government. Although ET and NT answered that they do not trust mass media, their behaviors were affected by them such as reading food labels in ET (39.4%) and reducing the consumption of food additives in NT (50%). They also indicated mass media's problem of sensitive approach on food additives and asked the urgent reaction of government by providing sound information through experts on food additives. Above results revealed that ET and NT have different perceptions and information needs on food additives, therefore, proper risk communication should be provided for them to serve as dietary educators for elementary school children.

The changes of contaminants and odor corresponding to anaerobic maturation process of piggery slurry were investigated by applying the additives, such as different kinds of complex microorganism products and deodorants containing microorganism activating agents. The pHs during 20-day anaerobic maturation were operated stably without great change regardless of the additives, although they were rather lower in the case that the additives were contained than the case that they were not contained. The effects of removing CODcr, $NH_3-N$, T-N, and T-S in case that the additives were not contained, were not so great during the 20-day operation and so it would be difficult to remove the organic materials and nitrogen ingredients simply with anaerobic maturation process. However, in case of anaerobic maturation process that the additives were contained, their average removal rates were improved with the values of $49\%,\;63.5\%,\;48.5\%,\;and\;30.7\%$ for above each of items, even if the 20-day of short-term maturation period was applied. Especial1y, odor intensity with the additives was lowered continuously during the operation period and it had more than two times of lowering effect compared to that without those.

The effect of oxidants, gluten and gums on breadmaking quality of wheat-purple sweet potato(Ipomoea batatas) composite flour were studied. Alveograph tests of doughs showed that all additives increased the P, L and W values. Of these additives, L-Ascorbic acid, gluten, carboxy methyl cellulose have a significant effect on alveogram indexes. SEM showed that the dough added with additives changed some what in appearance when compared with the control. When oxidants was added, the doughs discontinuous gluten film were observed. No significant differences ,were evident in bread crumb color among the additives. And textural characteristics of bread crumb were influened by adding additives. Breads containing additives showed an increase in max weight, strength and hardness and a decrease in springness and cohesiveness. Average enthalpy values for all bread crumb after 7days increased with storage time. However, addition of additives decrease the rate of staling slightly more than that of the control. Addition of L-Ascorbic acid, L-Cystine, carboxy methyl cellulose and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose increased the loaf volume significantly, and with except potassium bromate bread scores were acceptable.

Objective: This paper was aimed to investigate the current labelling trend of tar color additives in infant's drugs used in Korea and other countries. Method: The current labelling system of the tar color additives in infant's drugs was investigated using inserted papers for drug information of infant's drugs as well as three drug information internet sites popular in Korea including internet sites of foreign countries of USA, UK, Japan, and China for infant's drug information. Results: Among 325 drugs registered as syrup form for infant's drugs (sources, http://www.health.kr), 4 drugs indicated tar color related information on the internet and only 2 drugs indicated tar color additives' name. And from the investigated results of 76 inserted papers for infant's drug information, among 31 drugs containing tar dyes, in only 19 drugs the tar color additives' names were notated. Among 6 drugs which do not contain tar dyes, only 1 drug was notated as 'Dye-Free'. Conclusion: For advanced labelling system in Korea, we proposed the below guidelines. [1] The name of tar color additives used in infant's drugs should be notated even in drug information on internet sites. [2] All drug ingredients used in infant's drugs need to be separately notated as active and inactive species on both internet sites and inserted papers. [3] 'Dye-Free' notation should be mandatory for infant's drugs which do not contain tar color additives in drug information on the internet sites as well as inserted papers.

Composting has been proposed for the management of organic waste, and the resulting products can be used as soil amendments and fertilizer. However, the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O produced in composting are of considerable concern. Hence, various additives have been developed and adopted to control the emissions of GHGs. This review presents the different additives used during composting and summarizes the effects of additives on GHGs during composting. Thirty-four studies were reviewed, and their results showed that the additives can reduce cumulative CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emission by 10.5%, 39.0%, and 28.6%, respectively, during composting. Especially, physical additives (e.g., biochar and zeolite) have a greater effect on mitigating N₂O emissions during composting than do chemical additives (e.g., phosphogypsum and dicyandiamide). In addition, superphosphate had a high CO₂ reduction effect, whereas biochar and dicyandiamide had a high N₂O reduction effect. This implies that the addition of superphosphate, biochar, and dicyandiamide during composting can contribute to mitigating GHG emissions. Further research is needed to find novel additives that can effectively reduce GHG emissions during composting.
