This study was carried out to analyse the nutrient composition of grape seeds and to assess as a plant oil source. Mean values of nutrient contents were as follows: moisture 10.1%, crude protein 11.7%, crude fat 29.7%, crude ash 2.53%, total sugar 4.38 ${\mu}g/mg$, and reducing sugar 3.96 ${\mu}g/mg$. Linoleic acid was the most prominent fatty acid, showing 66.15%, and followed by oleic acid > palmitic acid > stearic acid. Mean contents of neutral-, glyco-and phospholipids were 85.4%, 6.50%, and 8.06%, respectively. Mean saponification value of crude fat was 187.5, showing elevated value than that of perilla oil. Antioxidative capacity of grape seed oil was marked by 12 and 50% higher values than those of perilla or sesame oils. Regardless of storage conditions, grape seed oil showed more lowered P.O.V than perilla and sesame oils. P.O.V of grape seed oil treated at $150^{\circ}C$ showed a lower value than those of perilla and sesame oils. The stability against oxidation may be related with the antioxidant substances contained in the grape seeds.

These studies were conducted to evaluate the bulk pasteurization system in comparison with the conventional mushroom growing technique of and to establish the phase II fermentation method for the system. The results obtained were as follows. 1. From the mushroom compost peak-heated in the bulk pasteurization system higher mushroom yield was obtained than that of the conventional method. 2. The compost fermented in the bulk pasteurization system showed poor mycelial growth and low crop. It was caused by the imperfect blower and its operation, not by ununiform moisture content of the compost and ununiform filling. 3. A bulk pasteurization system which modified the mushroom house was not proper for the fermentation of the mushroom compost and the sporophore yields were lower than the standard pasteurization system. 4. In the bulk pasteurization system, peak-heating time, phase II period and quality of the compost were influenced by the air temperature but its effects were not more significant than those of the conventional method. 5. During phase II in the bulk pasteurization system moisture content of the compost at filling did not affect the fermentation of the compost.

Recently, the pavement distresses in the bridge deck have seriously affected the durability of bridge deck and driver's safety. The existing asphalt materials have the limitations in reducing the pavement distresses of brides deck. To protect the bridge deck and withstand the high deflection, it is necessary to develop the asphalt materials with good fatigue resistance for bridge deck pavement. The asphalt binder combined with SBS and two other admixtures has been developed for improving the resistance to fatigue cracking, productivity, and workability for bridge deck pavement. Based on the various binder test results, the developed binder is found to be PG 70-34 indicating very higher resistance against fatigue cracking. Fatigue testing, wheel tracking testing, and moisture susceptibility testing have been conducted to evaluate the performance of asphalt mixtures developed in this study. Laboratory test results show that the developed asphalt material has three times higher fatigue lives than the typical modified asphalt mixture. Full scale accelerated testing was also performed on the typical asphalt mixture and newly developed asphalt mixture to evaluate the full scale performance of asphalt mixtures. Test results indicate that the length of cracking on the new materials is only 38% of the typical material at the 250,000 load repetitions.

In this study, the physical characteristics, antioxidant activity, and stability of muffins prepared with acai berry concentrate-loaded nanocapsules were evaluated. The size of the acai berry nanocapsules significantly increased with higher chitosan and lower Arabic gum concentrations. Based on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, the free acai berry concentrate showed significantly stronger antioxidant activity than that of the acai berry concentrate-loaded nanocapsules using chitosan and Arabic gum because of the entrapment of encapsulated acai berry. The physicochemical and textural properties of the muffin prepared with acai berry concentrate-loaded nanocapsules did not show notable differences compared with the control muffin. However, the stability of acai berry concentrate in terms of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity was effectively enhanced by nanoencapsulation while baking the muffin. This study suggested that acai berry concentrate-loaded nanocapsules are potential ingredients for bakery products.

The stability of W/O emulsions (milk fat : water=4 : 1, w/w) containing various emulsifiers was compared to determine the effect of different chemical types of emulsifiers in relation to the change of HLB value caused by emulsifier type and the influence of single vs. binary emulsifier systems. These variables were compared at emulsifier HLB values of 0.5~16.7 and at emulsifier concentrations of 1.0~3.0%(w/w). Eleven emulsifiers used as 11 different single mixtures and 16 different binary mixtures were evaluated in W/O type emulsion systems containing 20.0%(w/w) of water in milk fat. This W/O emulsion was stable (more than 90.0 of ESI value) in the range of low value of emulsifier HLB (less than 4.7 of HLB value). All the ESI values of binary emulsifier systems were higher than those of single emulsifier systems. But, the influence pattern of emulsifier HLB on this emulsion stability in single emulsifier systems was very similar to the trend in binary emulsifier systems.

Dimension stability was examined after PEG pretreatment and post freeze-drying treatment in order to determine the PEG(#3350) concentration and solvent for pre-treatment of freeze-drying of highly-degraded waterlogged ash woods(Fraxinus spp.; ca. 5,700 BP) excavated from peat lands at Pyungtack, Kyounggi-do. At the low concentration (<30-40%) of PEG soaking in both water and t-butanol, the weight increases abruptly, but at high concentration (>50%) gradually, consequently, taking longer treatment time. PEG loading was higher in t-butanol solution than in water. However, the best dimesional stability was obtained from freeze-drying after lower PEG solution (40% in water) soaking. Low dimensional stability, found in the samples treated with higher PEG solutions (60%-70% in t-butanol), might come from incomplete freezing and excess PEG absorbing moisture. The samples air-dried after 70% PEG treatment had collapse defects. In conclusion, the use of low concentration (about 40% in water) PEG solution was the most suitable pretreatment for freeze drying of highly-degraded waterlogged ash woods.

The objective of this research was to find out the potential value of flaxseed as a dietary supplement as well as an edible oil resource. The characteristics of yellow flaxseed oil and brown flaxseed oil were compared to check which oil is better in the aspects of cooking purpose and of nutritional value. The quality of flaxseed oil was evaluated based on the composition of fatty acid, the content of phenolic compounds and the anti-oxidant activity. The total phenolics of yellow flaxseed oil and brown flaxseed oil were $10.78{\pm}0.46$ and $29.88{\pm}3.25mg/100g$, respectively. Their ${\gamma}$-tocopherol contents were 20.59 and 17.94 mg/100 g, respectively. Contents of linolenic acid were 56.60 and 31.38% and oleic acid were 18.24 and 39.16 %, respectively. Yellow flaxseed oil showed higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acid than brown flaxseed oil. However, brown flaxseed oil showed higher electron-donating abilities than brown flaxseed oil, which might be due to its higher content of phenolic compounds. In conclusion, flaxseed has a great potential as a good edible oil resource due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acid and anti-oxidant activity.

Geotextile is one of the most useful and effective polymer material in civil construction works and the main function of geotextile is separation, reinforcement, filtering and drainage. Recently, because of the shortage of natural rock, traditional forms of river and coastal structures have become very expensive to build and maintain. Therefore, the materials used in hydraulic and coastal structures are changing from the traditional rubble and concrete systems to the cheaper materials and systems. One of these alternatives employs geotextile tube technology in the construction of coastal and shore protection structures, such as embankment, see dyke, groins, jetties, detached breakwaters and so on. Geotextile tube technology has changed from being an alternative construction technique and, in fact, has advanced to become the most effective solution of choice. This paper presents case history of sea dyke filter construction using geotextile tube mattress and also, various issues related to the tube mattress design and construction technology.

During 10 days germination of perilla seeds for sprouts preparation, the changes of proximate composition and antioxidant activities were monitored, and the inhibitory effect of sprouts extracts on perilla oil oxidation was also studied. The moisture content in seeds(2.9%) was increased to 9.2% in sprouts at 10 days while crude ash content wasn't significantly. The crude fat and protein contents were reduced from 46.8% and 20.7% in seeds to 18.2% and 18.3% in sprouts, respectively, but reducing sugar and fiber contents increased from 2.2% and 14.8% to 12.8% and 22.4%, respectively. Compared with perilla leaf, sprouts at 10 days contained more fat, carbohydrate, reducing sugar, and fiber while less moisture, ash, and protein. Antioxidant activities during germination were increased and reached to maximum at 8 days in which Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity(TEAC) based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging were 133.1 and 136.8 Trolox eq. mmol/kg, respectively, and ferric ion reducing power(FRAP) was 399.3 Fe(II) eq. mmol/kg. Polyphenol content(19.2 g/kg) was maximum at this stage, too. Perilla leaf showed similar TEAC but higher FRAP than the sprouts. When methanol extract of sprouts at 8 days was added to perilla oil, the oil oxidation was delayed in dose dependent manner. The induction time for oxidation was extended about 2.8 times by adding 2.5%(w/w) extract, that is, from 1.67 hr(control) to 4.62 hr. This induction time corresponded to 38% level of that of perilla oil containing 2.5% BHT.

The effects of Angelica gigas nakai powder(AP) addition on bread dough were investigated by preparing dough with 0-10%(w/v) powder. Dough raising power, gluten levels, rapid visco properties, and falling number, were investigated. The rheological properties of dough as measured by mixography, farinography, alveography, color assessment, and with scanning electron microscopy, were examined. Increase in AP concentration resulted in a linear decrease in gluten content. Dough raising power and extensibility were decreased by water absorption rate, and resistance increased. Dough stability and rose when AP was present at 1-2%(w/v). Water absorption, dough stability, and dough valorimeter values also rose when AP was present at 1-2%(w/v), but AP induced weakness in the dough, as revealed through farinography, and also resulted in a lowering of initial pasting temperature and the temperature at peak viscosity. A decrease in viscosity at the peak point, and(as revealed by RVA), a decrease in extensibility, an increased resistance to extension, and a rise in the energy required for extension, were also seen when AP powder was added, as was an increase in the R/E ratio. Overall, the addition of AP to dough to levels of 1% or 2%(both w/v) is thought to be useful in the preparation of a functional white pan bread, and results in quality improvements.
