The nature and analysis methods of complicated decay profiles found in forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) have been investigated for the probe diffusion of methyl yellow in 2-propanol. The complementary shifted and ground state grating effect, which is known to be the origin of non-single exponential decays, was analyzed by non-linear regression fitting to a double exponential model function. We confirmed that the parameters were highly correlated so that it was difficult to extract a unique set of parameters in the presence of experimental noise. Nevertheless, a reasonable range of decay time constants could be estimated from the grating spacing dependence.

Two types of new silica catalysts modified with benzenesulfonic acid derivatives were prepared by esterification or phenylation followed by sulfonation. Both catalysts thus prepared were tested as acid catalysts for 2-propanol dehydration and cumene dealkylation reactions. B catalyst () were more active than A catalyst (). Highter catalytic activity for B catalyst may be accounted for by higher resistance to water, higher acid strength, more acidity, and better thermal stability as compared with A catalyst.

Isopropylation of phenol with 2-propanol has been carried out over Na-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites to determine the effect of catalyst acidity on phenol conversion and product selectivity. The acid type and strength of the catalyst such as Lewis, weak and strong Bronsted acid sites are measured by pyridine adsorbed XPS and the catalytic properties are interpreted in terms of the acid properties. The active site and mechanism for the reaction are suggested based on evidence of study from the reactant adsorbed FT-IR.

Computer modeling and optimization works have been performed for the separation of the binary mixture of 1-propanol and benzene through a pressure-swing distillation. PRO/II with PRIVISION V10.0 at Schneider Electric company and NRTL liquid activity coefficient model were utilized. The sum of the total reboiler heat duties of the low-high and high-low pressure column configurations were compared. To minimize the utility consumptions, low column, and high column to obtain pure benzene at the top, the number of theoretical stages and optimal feed tray locations for each distillation column were determined and the reflux ratios for each distillation column were also adjusted. As a result of the optimization works, the sum of the total reboiler heat duties for the high-low and low-high pressure configurations were $3.10{\times}10^6kcal/h$ and $2.75{\times}10^6kcal/h$, respectively. In the case where heat integration was applied to low-high pressure configurations, 57.36 % of the total reboiler heat duties could be saved compared to the high-low pressure configurations.

The fusel oils and the volatile flavor compounds of two potato sojues, one of which was produced with the traditional distillation apparatus(soju-gori) and the other, with the reduced pressure distillation system, were examined. The fusel oil content was high in the potato soju that was distilled under reduced pressure (potato soju(II)). The relative ratio of the isoamyl alcohol to the isobutyl alcohol and the n-propanol was 3.1:0.8:1.0 in the potato soju that was distilled with soju-gori (potato soju(I)), and 4.0:1.2:1.0 in potato soju(II). The chromatograms of the volatile components apparently differed between potato soju(I) and potato soju(II). Potato soju(I) contained four kinds of alcohol, six kinds of ester, n-valeraldehyde, and acetic acid. Potato soju(II) contained seven kinds of alcohol, 14 kinds of ester, two kinds of aldehyde, acetic acid, and three other compounds. Potato soju(II) significantly scored higher for flavor property than potato soju(I).

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal cooking time by considering the cooking loss, shear force, and off-odor reduction of pork large intestines. Commercial pork large intestines were purchased, quartered perpendicularly, and cooked in boiling water for 40, 120, 180, and 240 min. Cooking loss of the samples increased after 240 min of cooking (10.92, p<0.05) while shear force value was lower at 240 min (4.45) compared to that at other cooking times (p<0.001). The amount of major volatile organic compounds showed a decreasing trend with increasing cooking time. In particular, the amount of methyl pentanoate (17,528.71) and methyl isobutyrate (812.51), compounds with a relatively low odor threshold, decreased significantly after 120 min of cooking and no change was observed thereafter (p<0.05). In addition, the amount of 2-pentanol (3,785.65) and 1-propanol (622.26), possibly produced by lipid oxidation, significantly decreased at the same cooking time (p<0.001). In the principal component analysis, only the 40 min cooking time was significantly different from other cooking time by high amounts of 1-propanol, 2-pentanol, and methyl isobutyrate. In conclusion, in the present study, the optimal cooking time for pork large intestines was 120 min in terms of off-odor reduction, cooking loss, and shear force.

This study reviews the manufacturing characteristics of distilled liquor prepared using Saccharomyces cerevisiae 88-4 separated from traditional Nuruk. From analysis of soju mash (sool-dut) during the fermentation process, 17.2% of alcohol was detected in the final fermentation with succinic acid present at the highest level ($7,164.3{\pm}85.2ppm$). From the analysis of alcohol content in different distillation conditions, distillation condition No. 6 showed the lowest amount of alcohol ($29.6{\pm}0.0%$), whereas distillation condition No. 4 showed the highest amount ($59.9{\pm}0.1%$). N-propanol has been detected at the highest level in distilled liquor under conditions No. 1 and 4, each being $163.4{\pm}18.3$ and $174.0{\pm} 0.1ppm$, respectively. Isobutanol showed a tendency similar to n-propanol. Distilled liquor in conditions No. 1 and 4 has shown the highest acetaldehyde level, each being $303.4{\pm}4.5$ and $325.4{\pm}13.1ppm$, respectively. After distillation, 14 volatile substances were found in common, with isoamyl alcohol present at the highest levels in all the distilled liquors. Distillation conditions No. 3, 5, 6, and 7 have shown high levels of isobutanol that emits a banana-like fragrance and ethyl octanoate that emits a pleasant fruity and floral fragrance.

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) were isolated from vinegar fermented through traditional methods in Namhae county, Gyeongnam, the Republic of Korea. The isolated strains were Gram negative, non-motile, and short-rods. Three selected strains were identified as either Acetobacter pasteurianus or Acetobacter aceti by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A. pasteurianus NH2 and A. pasteurianus NH6 utilized ethanol, glycerol, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, L-glutamic acid and Na-acetate. A. aceti NH12 utilized ethanol, n-propanol, glycerol, D-mannitol and Na-acetate. These strains grew best at 30℃ and an initial pH of 3.4. They were tolerant against acetic acid at up to 3% of initial concentration (v/v). The optimum conditions for acetic acid production were 30℃ and pH 3.4, with an initial ethanol concentration of 5%, resulting in an acetic acid concentration of 7.3−7.7%.

A bactriocin produced by Lactrococcus sp. HY449 was purified by sequential purfication steps such as n-propanol-acetone precipitation ion -exchange chromatography using CM-Sequential CL6B. gel filtration chromatography using Sephacry HR100 and reverse-phase chromatography using pro RPC HR 5/10. Reverse-phase chromatography the final step of the purfication yielded a single symmetrical peak of bacteriocin activity The purification resulted in final yield of 3.25% and 413.35 fold increase of the specific activity of bacteriocin. The active fraction from reverse-phase chromatography was used for N-terminal amino acid analysis . The purified bacteriocin contained isoleucine, leucine, methionine, and glycine at but N-terminal end no aromatic amino acids. Calculation of the number of amino acid residues in the bacteriocin revealed that it is consisted of 32 residues assuming the molecular weight of bacteriocin to be about 3.6kDa. Edman degrandation elucidated amino acid residues of the first four of the N-terminus to be $NH_2$-Ile-Leu-Pro-GIn.

The Liquid Culture Assay using a recombinant Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain has been developed as a means for quorum sensing autoinducer screening. However, the low aqueous solubility of marine natural product extracts used as potential autoinducers has been a hindrance in the screening process. Although the addition of organic solvents and/or surfactants could increase aqueous solubility, errors in data interpretation including false positive results could be a serious problem. Therefore, determining the best possible solvent and surfactant at the optimum concentration is crucial. Evaluating methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, DMSO and DMF at concentration ranges of 0~10% revealed < 2% methanol to be most favorable when tested for ${\beta}$-gal activity and growth inhibition of the recombinant A. tumefaciens strain. On the other hand, among surfactants tested, Triton X-100 was similarly effective in increasing the delivery of autoinducers for activity at less than 0.05% concentration.
