The effects of n 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on protein and phospholipid con-tents, and cholesterol level were studied in rats fed with diets of different fat composition. Body weights of fish oil groups were decreased to $11.1\%\~14.4\%$ compared with lard group (control), and also $16.4\%\~23.3\%$ compared with corn oil group, respectively. Protein contents of $\omega3$ PUFA and sardine oil groups in liver were increased to $6.78\%\~8.51\%$ compared with control group, but were no significant difference in brain and serum. $\omega3$ PUFA and sardine oil slightly repressed the phospholipid in microsome of liver. Moreover they effectively reduced the serum cholesterol levels compared with control group.

Transesterifications of waste oils mixed with animal tallows and vegetable oil by ultrasonic energy were examined over various catalysts for biodiesel production. Reaction activities of the transesterification were evaluated to the ultrasonic energy and thermal energy. The physicochemical properties of feedstock and products were also investigated to the biodiesels produced from the oils in the reaction using ultrasonic energy. The highest fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield was obtained on the potassium hydroxide catalyst in the transesterification by ultrasonic irradiation. The effective reaction conditions by ultrasonic energy were 0.5 wt% catalyst loading and 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to the mixed oils. The reaction rate of the transesterification by ultrasonic energy was faster than that by thermal energy. The highest yields of FAME were obtained as 80% in 5 min and the reaction equilibrium reached at that time.

Four domestic frying oils (soybean, corn, rapeseed and rice bran oil) were studied on their changing properties according to thermal oxidation by means of chemical analysis of their compositions and measurements of various physical and chemical properties. The content of linoleic acid which is an essential unsaturated fatty acid and the total amount of unsaturated fatty acids were highest in soybean oil (53.2% and 80.3% respectively) among the unheated frying oils and the degree of its thermal degradation was lowest during the continuous heating period for 48 hours at $180^{\circ}C$. However in general, the contents of unsaturated fatty acids were sharply decreased by thermal oxidation whereas the saturated fatty acid contents ranging 10-17% were not changed considerably, which largely agreed with the results of iodine value measurements. The free acid and peroxide values were also lowest in soybean oil (0.09 and 5.6 respectively) among the unheated oils whereas an anomalously high free acid value was observed in rapeseed oil (54.8) which was packed in unleveled glass bottles. Such a high value is probably ascribed to the photo-catalyzed oxidation during storage. The viscosity measurements have shown similar values before heating, but after thermal oxidation for 32 hours the rapeseed and rice bran oils became too thick to measure viscosity by capillary flow method with heavy darkening in color.

바이오디젤은 식물성 기름이나 동물성 지방과 같은 재생 가능한 원료로부터 전이에스테르화 반응을 통해 생산되는 대체 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 NaX 제올라이트 촉매에 염기성 물질인 KOH를 담지한 후 소성온도에 따라 제조된 촉매를 사용하여 바이오디젤 제조 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 촉매의 결정구조와 성분을 분석하기위해 XRD, SEM 을 이용하였으며, 표면적을 측정하기 위해 BET 를 사용하였다. 실험결과 소성온도가 $500^{\circ}C$일 때 30wt% KOH/NaX 제올라이트 촉매내 K 함량이 가장 높았고, 이때 70%이상의 높은 바이오디젤 수율을 얻을 수 있었다.

바이오디젤이란 식물성 기름, 동물성 지방, 폐식용유 등의 재생 가능한 자원을 촉매 존재 하에 알코올과 반응시켜 생성되는 에스테르 혼합물을 말하며 경유와 물성이 유사하므로 경유에 혼합하여 압축착화 방식인 디젤엔진에 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 바이오디젤은 경유에 비하여 탄소-탄소 간 이중결합을 가지고 있는 성분을 많이 함유하고 있기 때문에 공기에 의해 산화가 일어나기 쉽다. 일반적으로 폐놀계 향산화제인 t-buthylhydroquinone(TBHQ)를 사용하여 산화안정성을 향상시키나 국내에서 사용되는 산화방지제는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있어 제품 개발에 의한 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 폐유지로부터 생산한 바이오디젤의 산화안정성 향상을 위하여 폐놀 및 아민계 등의 산화방지제를 합성하여 바이오디젤에 적용하였으며, 다양한 물성시험방법을 적용하여 석유 및 석유대체연료 사업법에서 규정하는 바이오디젤의 품질기준을 확인하였다. 또한 EN 14112 바이오디젤 산화안정성 시험방법으로 폐놀 및 아민계 등의 산화안정성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 산학연 공동기술개발 1차년도 사업으로 한국화학연구원과 공동으로 수행하였으며, 산화방지제 적용평가를 통해 우수한 제품을 선정하여 2차년도에는 차량 테스트를 통해 연료 첨가제로서의 적합성을 검증할 예정이다.

This research was carried out for revealing the co-relationships between insect-pollinators and the plant species of Labiatae and Umbelliferae, insects visiting in flower and the flowers in Korea, were studied from April 2010 to August 2012. The sum of flower visiting degrees in Labiatae are shown 21 in Hymenoptera, 16 in Lepidoptera, and the lowest 1 in Diptera and Coleoptera, respectively. The sum of flower visiting degrees in Umbelliferae are shown 27 in Diptera, 24 in Hymenoptera, 21 in Coleoptera, and 13 in Lepidoptera, respectively. 17 pollinator species visited the flower of Angelica gigas, next 15 pollinator species did the flower of Agastache rugosa, 13 pollinator species did the flower of Prunella vulgaris var. lilacina. 13 pollinator species foraged on the flower of Peucedanum terebinthaceum. and then 11 pollinator species on the flower of Angelica dahurica. Only 1 pollinator species visited the flower of Clinopodium chinense var. grandiflora and Isodon excisus. Pollinators of Coleoptera and Diptera visit more frequently to the flowers of Umbelliferae than those of Labiatae. Pollinators of Lepidoptera and Diptera visit more frequently white flower than purple one. This study found out that mutualistic relations between plants and insect pollinators in Korea.

We have a lot of interest in alternative fuels to provide energy independence from oil producing country and to reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel without change of engine structure in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the test results on specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were presented using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine. Especially this biodisel was produced from rape oil at our laboratory by ourselves. This study showed that specific fuel consumption and NOx emission were slightly increased, on the other hand CO emission and Soot were tolerably decreased more in the case of biodiesel blends than neat diesel oil.

The demand for fuel and energy resources continues to grow due to increased consumption and emerging economies in all parts of the world. With this increase in demand, crude oil prices in the international market has jumped dramatically. Global warming, which is a consequence of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has become scientific, social, and political concerns. To cope with global warming and energy crisis, cost-competitive biofuels are urgently needed. In addition, development of an infrastructure, which supplies energy stably and diversifies energy resources, as well as new cost-saving technologies should be developed to reduce the costs of producing biofuels. Due to high oleic acid content, rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is currently the potential feedstock for biodiesel production in temperate zone region and the production and use of rapeseed oil is already commercialized in Europe. In Korea double-cropping (rice and rapeseed) became more prevalent because it reduces competitions from land constraints. Production of rapeseed as a biodiesel feedstock may reduce the influence of rising oil prices and nation's dependence on imported petroleum and increase job opportunities and farm incomes.

Vegetable oils are desirable inexpensive feedstocks for various bioproducts. The content of unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids are 22% and 55% for soybean oil, 26% and 60% for corn oil, and 61% and 21% for canola oil, respectively. Keto and hydroxy fatty acids are useful industrial chemicals, used in plasticizer, surfactant, lubricant and detergent formulations because of their special chemical properties such as higher viscosity and reactivity compared with other fatty acids. In this study, a microbial isolate, Flavobacterium sp. strain DS5 (NRRL B-14859), was used to convert oleic acid to 10-ketostearic acid (10-KSA) via 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA). Two bioconversion products, 10-KSA and 10-HSA, were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed using gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and $^1H-$ and $^{13}C$-nuclear magnetic resonance. The maximum production of 10-KSA and 10-HSA in flask cultures were 3.4 g/L and 0.5 g/L, respectively. The optimum concentrations of glucose and yeast extract, addition time and volume of oleic acid for 10-KSA production were less than 20 g/L, more than 5 g/L, 18 hand 0.3 ml/50 ml, respectively.
