MPEG-PCL diblock copolymers consisting of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and $\varepsilon$-caprolactone (CL) as drug carriers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization MPEG-PCL diblock copolymers were characterized by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. After freeze milling of block copolymers and albumin bovine-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-BSA) as model protein, the wafers loaded FITC-BSA were fabricated by direct compression method. The release profiles of FITC-BSA were examined using pH 7.4 PBS for 14 days at 37$^{\circ}C$. The release amount was determined by fluorescence intensity by using the fluorescence spectrophotometer. The morphological change of wafers was observed by digital camera and scanning electron microscope. The release rate and initial burst of BSA increased with increasing PEG molecular weights and decreasing PCL molecular weights in the segments of MPEG -PCL diblock copolymers.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of adding gelatinized waxy rice flour, wheat flour, and Xanthan Gum to rice flour on the preparation and (quality) of dried noodles. 1) Rice flour demonstrated higher maximum viscosity value as determined by Amylograph than wheat flour. Among the composite flour mixture (Rice Flour 85+Gelatinized Waxy Rice Flour 15 + Xanthan Gum 2%) showed the highest viscosity value and (RF 35+ GWRF 15 + Wheat Flour 50) had the lowest. (RF 35 + GWRF 15 +WF 50) demonstrated gelatinization characteristics which is quite similar to that of wheat flour. 2) Forty and 50% replacement of rice flour and gelatinized waxy rice flour (15%) mixture by wheat flour improved significantly noodle making characteristics and cooking quality of noodles. 3) The addition of 2% XG to (RF 45 + GWRF 15 + WF 40) was effective on noodle making properties and on binding properties of cooked noodles. 4) The cooked noodle made of composite flour (RF 45 + GWRF 15 + WF 40 + XG 2%) received the highest total sensory evaluation score among the testing samples, and it was not significantly different from that of wheat flour.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and acceptability of yellow layer cake prepared using various levels of wet-milled rice flour (RF). RF was used to substitute 0% (control group), 15% (RF-15 group), 30% (RF-30 group) and 45% (RF-45 group) of wheat flour (WF) to manufacture yellow layer cakes. The substitution of WF with RF showed no significant effect on the pH but decreased the specific gravity and viscosity of the batter. Baking loss rates ranged from 4.65% to 5.03%, showing no significant difference among samples. In the color measurement, the experimental groups showed higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) than the control group (p<0.05). The experimental groups showed lower gumminess and chewiness than the control group. According to the results of intensity measurement of sensory properties, the RF-30 and RF-45 groups showed stronger intensities for darkness, sweetness, moistness and softness than the control group. The acceptance test found that the RF-45 group had significantly higher or similar results for all acceptance attributes than the control group. These results indicate that RF addition as a replacement of WF at a ratio of 45% is optimal for producing yellow layer cakes.

The physicochemical properties of rice flours and quality characteristics of rice cupcake were investigated using the domestic rice varieties Goami, Hanareum, Hanmaeum, Deuraechan, Seolgaeng, and Haiami. Protein and amylose contents were highest in. The final and setback viscosities of Haiami, Hanmaeum, Deuraechan, and Hanareum were higher than those of Goami and Seolgaeng. The specific volume of rice cupcakes was lower with Goami and Haiami than with the others. Seolgaeng cupcake had a dented surface and irregular air pockets, while the Hanareum cupcake was well shaped and had uniform air pockets. The hardness, springiness, and chewiness of Goami and Haiami cupcakes were higher than those of the others, while adhesiveness was observed only in Seolgaeng cupcake. The overall preferences scores of rice cupcakes prepared from Hanareum, Hanmaeum and Deuraechan were higher than for the other cupcakes (p<0.05). These results suggested that amylose content, and final and setback viscosities of rice flour are very important factors in rice cupcakes.

The aim of this study was to enhance the use of wheat bran in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. LAB fermentation of wheat bran and the flavor components and amino acids of fermentation products were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that total flavor components increased by 93% and 73% in the animal-based LAB mixture (T2) and plant-based LAB mixture (T3), respectively, after fermentation. Among these components, 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl), known for its buttery flavor, was detected at concentrations of 18.44 ng/g (T2) and 16.95 ng/g (T3). Levels of hexanal and nonanal, which causes off-flavor components in wheat bran, dramatically decreased after T2 fermentation; similarly, levels of total free amino acids decreased by 37.6% (T2) and 36.7% (T3) after fermentation. This may explain why some components were bound to volatile compounds during LAB fermentation. These results suggest that LAB-fermented wheat bran is a potential value-added food material.

Comparative study was performed on noodle characteristics among three domestic wheat varieties (Geurumil, Eunpamil and Alchanmil) and imported one (ASW: Australian Standard White). For the noodle-related characteristics, crude protein, ash and gluten contents were measured, and rheological properties of dough, flour color difference, particle size distribution, cooking properties and sensory properties were evaluated. Crude protein content of Geurumil, Eunpamil and Alchanmil flour were 12.8%, 14.2% and 11.2%, respectively, whereas that of ASW flours was 9.1%. Ash content was the highest in Geurumil (0.56%). The yield of patent flour was the highest in Eunpamil (53.4%) among all the varieties. Higher dough stability with farinogram and maximum viscosity with amylogram were shown in Eunpamil and Alchanmil than those of ASW. The cutting force of cooked noodle from ASW was the lowest maximum, that was measured by texture analyzer. Fairly good color and sensory scores were obtained in cooked noodle of Alchanmil. Studies of noodle-related characteristics indicated that domestic Eunpamil was higher in protein content and flour yield, and Alchanmil was higher dough stability and color, when compared to those of imported ASW. Alchanmil and ASW had good scores in sensory evaluation, especially appearance and color.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ash contents of bread flour on the rheology of frozen dough In making frozen dough by measuring amylograph, flrinograph and extensograph. The quality of frozen-stored dough under freezing condition ($-20^{\circ}C$, 12 weeks) was evaluated by measuring final proof time, moisture content, baking loss, loaf volume and hardness of bread with storage time. In bread flour with high ash content farinogram showed that water absorption, degree of softening increased but valorimeter value decreased. In bread flour with low ash content amylogram showed that gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity increased and extensogram showed that the area and resistance of the bread flour increased. As the proof time increased the extensibility decreased. Final proof time of frozen dough was shortened at the bread flour with low ash content with storage time. In bread using the flour with high ash content, moisture content, increased but baking loss rate decreased while the hardness of product increased slowly with time. But in bread using the flour with low ash content, the loaf volume of baking increased but the hardness of product decreased. As the frozen storage time was shortened, the product was more stable and better in quality.

In this study, buckwheat four was classified by the order of extraction from the inmost layer to the outmost layer, and was designated as $B_1,\;B_2,\;B_3,$ and the mixed flour of $B_1,\;B_2,\;B_3$ (1:1:1) was named $B_0$. To improve the dried noodle-making properties, various levels of strong wheat flour and additives such as sodium alginate (SA) and xanthan gum(XG) were added to buckwheat. 1) The buckwheat $B_2$ and $B_3$ flours contained much higher amounts of crude ash, protein and fat than the $B_1$ flour. 2) Buckwheat $B_3$ flour demonstrated lower maxium viscosity value by amylograph than the $B_1$ flour, but it demonstrated 2 times higher maximum viscosity value than wheat flour. Buckwheat $B_1$ flour demonstrated 4-5 times higher maximum viscosity value than wheat flour. Addition of SA and XG increased the viscosity of the flour mixtures. 3) It was possible to make dried noodles from the composite flour of (buckwheat 40 %+wheat 60 %). The lesser the quantity of buckwheat flour was, the better the kneading property of mixed flour was. 4) SA and XG, which were added at the level of 1.0-1.5%, significantly improved dough making properties and the cooking quality of the noodles.

The interactions of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar system of various cationic, nonionic, and mixed surfactant systems were studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of 4-chlorobenzoic acid into those micellar systems have been measured at various temperatures and various thermodynamic parameters for the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been calculated and analyzed from those changes. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^o_s$ are all negative within the measured temperature range and that the values of ${\Delta}H^o_s$ and ${\Delta}S^o_s$ are all positive. The effects of alkyl-group's length of surfactant molecules on the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been also measured. The values of $K_s$ were dependent simultaneously on the alkyl-group's length and the kind of head-group in surfactant molecules. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization site and the degree of interaction of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar systems.

The persistence of butachlor and nitrofen in different soil conditions applied organic matter, lime, and other pesticides was studied under submerged and field moisture capacity. Degradation of the herbicides in soil was significantly retarded by autoclaving the soil and half-life of nitrofen was much longer than that of butachlor under this condition. Submerging the soil enhanced degradation of the herbicides, in particular that of nitrofen. On the other hand, half-life of nitrofen under field moisture capacity was twice longer than that of butachlor. Increased amendment of rice straw to the soil shortened the half-life of nitrofen under submerged soil, however it prolonged that of butachlor when the amendment was exceeded 1000kg/10a level. Liming the soil stimulated herbicide decomposition in the soil, which appears to be pH independent. Butachlor degradation in submerged soil was slightly stimulated by simultaneous application of fungicides and insecticides, but nitrofen persistence was not influenced.
