A study of hen egg lysozyme extraction using reversed micelles and pressurized CO₂ phase was conducted. The relationship between the lysozyme extraction and water content (W/sub 0/) under the pressurized CO₂ conditions was investigated. The water content of the micellar organic phase was a significant parameter affecting the mass transfer of protein and enzymatic activity in reversed micellar process. It was found that the reversed micelles in the organic phase with pressurized CO₂ were larger than the organic phase without CO₂. Therefore, the extractionrate of lysozyme in the interface of the aqueous phase and the organic phase was increased. W/sub 0/ value was increased at the high surfactant concentration and the extraction rate of lysozyme was enhanced.

We investigated changes in the chemical composition of apple slices after pretreatment with supercritical $CO_2$. Total phenolic levels increased with increasing temperature, although the concentrations were lower in pretreated material than in fresh or untreated slices. The levels of vitamin C and malic acid in pretreated slices were also lower than in untreated or fresh apple slices. Little difference was evident among various pretreatmentconditions. It was found that supercritical $CO_2$ served not as a solvent but rather as a means of tissue compression. Supercritical $CO_2$ compressed the apple slices, causing juice to be extruded. The juice disappeared when the supercritical $CO_2$ pressure was released.

This study aimed to maximize the efficacy of Angelica gigas by finding a more effective way to extract active compounds from Angelica gigas. After extracting Angelica gigas by hydrothermal, ethanol, and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction methods, analysis of decursin and decursinol angelate content, quantification of total polyphenol content, and evaluation of efficacy of antioxidant, whitening, and antibacterial were conducted. The content of decursin and decursinol angelate was very high at 38.65% of the supercritical carbon dioxide extract, and the total polyphenol content was high in the order of hydrothermal extract, ethanol extract and supercritical carbon dioxide extract, but the difference was relatively small. The antioxidant effects were consistent with the total polyphenol content, and the antibacterial effects were consistent with the decursin and decursinol angelate content. In other words, through this study, we found that the optimal method for extracting active compounds from Angelica gigas is the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method.

This study was performed to investigate antioxidant activities of Mistletoe (MS) extracts by measuring electron donating ability (EDA), super oxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and total polyphenol content (TPC). The extracts were obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide, hot-water and ethanol extraction. EDAs was the higher in ethanol extract (70.53%) than water (36.73%) or supercritical carbon dioxide extract (15.73% at 400 bar, $30^{\circ}C$) at concentration of 10 mg/mL. However, SOD-like activities and TPCs were the highest in the supercritical carbon dioxide extract. At concentration of 1 mg/mL, supercritical carbon dioxide extract (22.54% at 200 bar, $40^{\circ}C$) was higher SOD activity than water (7.85%) and ethanol extract (6.12%). Regarding TPCs of MS extracts, the content was the highest in supercritical carbon dioxide extract (17.57 wt% catechin equivalent at 200 bar, $50^{\circ}C$) followed by ethanol and water extract. These results suggest that it can be useful to develop functional foods using antioxidative active compounds of MS with high polyphenol contents.

Effects of elevated $CO_2$ on leaf phenology of Quercus acutissima were examined using open-top chambers, which had ambient and elevated $CO_2$ concentrations (ambient ${\times}1.4$, ambient ${\times}1.8$). To analyze the effect of chamber, non-treatment block was established near outside of the chambers. In 2013, budburst, leaf unfolding, coloring, and shedding were surveyed, and spring phenology was surveyed in 2014. Thermal sum (base temperature $+5^{\circ}C$) of each phenological event occurred was recorded. In addition, bud samples were collected and analyzed for carbohydrate contents in March 2014. Elevated $CO_2$ concentration advanced budburst and leaf unfolding, and delayed shedding in 2013. However, in 2014, the temperature of the spring season was high, and there was no significant effect of elevated $CO_2$ concentration on spring phenology. Carbohydrates content, such as starch, total non-structural carbohydrate and total soluble sugar, were significantly increased in response to elevated $CO_2$ concentration. It has been proposed that elevated $CO_2$ concentration could extend the growing season of temperate species with increased possibility of frost damage due to early bud opening and leaf unfolding. However, our analysis showed that the increased carbohydrate concentration in bud under elevated $CO_2$ would reduce the possibility of early spring frost damage by acting as cryoprotectant.

Phenolic/furfural(P/F) gel microspheres were successfully produced by new supercritical $CO_2$-based process. $CO_2$-soluble poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was used as the stabilizer in this system. Spherical morphology of the gel microspheres was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Particle size and particle size distribution of P/F gel microspheres can be modified by variety of the solids content and the stabilizer content. The resultant P/F gel microspheres have average particle size in the range of 1-6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The structure of P/F gel microspheres was revealed by thermogravimetric analysis and IR analysis.

The effect of high carbon dioxide and ethylene treatment on postharvest ripening regulation of red kiwifruit (Actinidia melanandra) was investigated during cold storage. Physio-chemical properties such as weight loss, firmness, SSC, acidity, and market quality were analysed in red kiwifruit held at $10^{\circ}C$ compared to the fruit treated with carbon dioxide and ethylene during 75 days of storage. No significant weight loss was detected in red kiwifruit treated with carbon dioxide until 75 days of storage while the most rapid loss was found in fruit treated with ethylene. In ethylene-treated fruit, the firmness was dramatically reduced from 4.2kg on the first day to 1.2 kg after 27 days of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. However, the firmness of the carbon dioxide-treated fruit was 1.8kg after 54 days of storage. The highest level of SSC(%) was investigated within the 27 storage days at $10^{\circ}C$ for fresh red kiwifruit treated with exogenous ethylene, whereas the carbon dioxide-treated fruit exhibited a greatly increased SSC after 64 days. The carbon dioxide-treated red kiwifruit maintained statistically(p<.01) higher levels of acidity compared to the control and the exogenous ethylene-treated ones during 41 days of storage at $10^{\circ}C$. The SSC/Acid ratio of fruit treated with carbon dioxide was significantly lower (p<.01) maintained than the other two treatments (ethylene-treated and control fruit)throughout the 75-day experiment. Based on the quality characteristics of postharvest red kiwifruit, it could be concluded that the carbon dioxide treatment significantly delayed the ripening process and maintained the market quality of harvested red kiwifruit, which can be a potential application for commercial use in the kiwi industry.

This study was carried out to examine some factors affecting the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of genistein from soybean. The factors investigated in this study were pressure, temperature, flow rate of carbon dioxide, and concentration of modifier. It was foumd out that genistein is not extracted in the absence of modifier. Ethanol was found to be more effective modifier than methanol. 70% of genistein was extracted at 35$^{\circ}C$, 300bar and ethanol 15% (w/v) as compared with the performances of organic solvent extraction.

This study was carried out to investigate the MA response of fresh lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) depending upon film sources and storage temperatures. The fresh weight loss was significantly lower at 5 and $0^{\circ}C$ than those of higher temperatures. And ceramic $80{\mu}m$ film (CE 80) was more effective in preventing weight loss than CE40. The contents of $CO_2$ and ethylene were much higher in CE 80 wrapping than those in CE 40 ones. Rapid accumulation of $CO_2$ was observed at high storage temperature. However, the ethylene content during whole storage period was higher at $0^{\circ}C$ than those at $5^{\circ}C$, but the level of ethylene was remained below 1ppm and did not adversely affected to lemongrass quality. The treatment of CE 80 at $5^{\circ}C$ was most effective on keeping visual quality and chlorophyll content. The storage durations were up to 48 days at $5^{\circ}C$ and 35 days at $0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Results indicated that CE 80 at $5^{\circ}C$ is an optimal condition for MA storage of lemongrass.
