Solvolytic rate constants at 25℃ are reported for solvolyses of cinnamyl bromide (1) in binary mixtures of water with acetone, ethanol, methanol, methanol-d, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. Product selectivities are reported for solvolyses of 1 in aqueous ethanol and methanol. Rate ratios in solvents of the same $Y_{Br}$ value and different nucleophilicity provide measures of the minimum extent of nucleophilic solvent assistance (e.g. $[k_{40EW}/k_{97TFE}]$Y = 2.88, EW = ethanol-water). With use of the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, the l and m values are similar to the values of 0.43 and 0.88 obtained for the solvolyses of 1 using the equation (see below) which includes a parameter (I) for solvation of aromatic rings. The magnitude of l and m values associated with a change of solvent composition predicts the $S_{N1}$ reaction mechanism rather than an $S_{N2}$ channel. Product selectivities (S), defined by S = [ether product]/[alcohol product]×[water]/[alcohol solvent] are related to four rate constants for reactions involving one molecule of solvent as nucleophile and another molecule of solvent as general base catalyst. A linear relationship between 1/S and molar ratio of solvent is derived theoretically and validated experimentally for solvolyses of the above substrates from water up 75% 1/S = $(k_{wa}/k_{aw})$([alcohol solvent]/[water]) + $k_{ww}/k_{aw}$ alcohol-water. The results are best explained by product formation from a “free” carbocation intermediate rather than from a solvent-separated ion pair.

This study was conducted to establish the most appropriate nitrogen levels and planting densities which can attribute to increase of aromatic substances in tobacco variety, Hyangcho, maintaining its original aroma. An increase of nitrogen fertilization from 3 to 12 kg per 10a increased total alkaloid content 2.0% to 3.3%, while an increased nitrogen fertilization decreased the contents of total sugar, starch, fatty acid etc., Which seem to be the positive components relating to tobacco aroma the contents of alkaloids were decreased and total fatty acids were increased as the planting densities increased. The higher contents of 2. 3-methylbutanoic and 3-methylpentanoic acid was obtained at the density of 3 plant per pit (12,498 plant/10a). The components determined in the neutural fraction such as solanone, furfural, furfurylalcohol and benzyl alcohol were presented in higher amount at the higher densities. The volatile acids such as 2. 3-methylbutanoic acid 3-methylpentanoic acid decreased and also the contents of butanol, furfutal, furfuryl alcohol, hexanol, cinnamil, acetophenone, benzyl acetate and solanone etc., were decreased as the nitrogen level increased from 3 to 12 kg per l0a.

Free amino acids and volatile compounds of fresh garlic and its liqueur were investigated to search elution profile of those components as basic data for development of garlic liqueur. The garlic was soaked in 20% alcohol solution and then sampled every week for 5 weeks. The major free amino acids were L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-asparagine and L-serine. Neutral amino acids such as L-threonine, L-proline, L-valine and L-leucine, and aromatic amino acids such as tyrosine and phenylalanine were eluted over 80% of those content in fresh garlic after 3 weeks of soaking, but acidic, basic and sulfur containing amino acids were below 80% even after 5 weeks. Sulfide compounds such as diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, methyl allyl disulfide, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithi in, 3-vinyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2-dithiin, 3,5-diethyl-1,24-trithiolane, isobutyl isothiocyanate and diallyl sulfide were identified as major volatile compounds of fresh garlic by using GC/MS. Among volatile compounds of fresh garlic, allyl alcohol, diallyl disulfide, 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane, diallyl trisulfide and 3,4-dimethoxy furan were eluted to liqueur, but those compounds except 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane were lowered in liqueur during soaking. Furfural, 5-methylfurfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, dimethyl pyrazine, furfuryl alcohol, 3-hydroxy-2-bytanone and 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyr-an-4-one were generated newly and their content increased in liqueur during soaking.

Wood-rotting basidiomycetous fungi are the most efficient degraders of lignin on earth. The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been used as a model microorganism in the study of enzymology and its application. Because of the ability of the white-rot fungus to degrade lignin, which has an irregular structure and large molecular mass, this fungus has also been studied in relation to degrading and mineralizing many environmental pollutants. The fungus includes an array of enzymes, such as lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), cellobiose:quinone oxidoreductase, and $H_2O_2$-producing enzymes and also produces many other components of the ligninolytic system, such as veratryl alcohol (VA) and oxalate. In addition, the fungus has mechanisms for the reduction of degradation intermediates. The ligninolytic systems have been proved to provide reductive reactions as well as oxidative reactions, both of which are essential for the degradation of lignin and organopollutants. Further study on the white-rot fungus may provide many tools to both utilize lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer, and bioremediate many recalcitrant organopollutants.

The interactions of water soluble polymers with dye are studied by ultrafiltration using a molecular weight cut off of 10 KDa regenerated cellulose ultrafiltration membrane. Two water-soluble polymers, namely Poly (Sodium-4 Styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) were selected for this study. The effects of process parameters, such as, polyelectrolyte concentrations, transmembrane pressure, ionic strength and pH of solution on dye retention and permeation flux were examined. PSS enhanced ultrafiltration achieved dye retention as high as 99% as a result of complexation between polyanion containing aromatic groups and cationic dye. This result was confirmed by the red shift. The retention of dye decreases as the salt concentration increases, a high retention was obtained at pH above 4. However, in case of PVA, relatively low retention (50%) was observed. Ionic strength and pH has no significant effect on the removal of MB. The permeate flux depended slightly on polyelectrolytes concentrations, transmembrane pressure, salt concentration and pH.

This study describes the liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of three typical chiral amines (α-methylbenzylamine, 2-amino-4-methyl-1-pentanol, and 1-methylheptylamine) as 2-hydroxynaphthaldimine derivatives using six amylose trisphenylcarbamates derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs). It was observed that the structural nature of three chiral amines and the structures of amylose chiral selectors can affect their chiral recognition ability. Among the three analytes as 2-hydroxynaphthaldimine derivatives, in general, the greatest enantioselectivities of aromatic amine analyte (α-methylbenzylamine) were achieved on amylose trisphenylcarbamate derived CSPs and were followed by amino alcohol analyte (2-amino-4-methyl-1-pentanol), and aliphatic amine analyte (1-methylheptylamine). Also, the enantiodiscrimination abilities obtained on the two CSPs, Chiralpak ID and Chiralpak IF, were selectively higher than the other four amylose trisphenylcarbamate derived CSPs for the studied analytes. The underlying chiral recognition mechanism between 2-amino-4-methyl-1-pentanol as 2-hydroxynaphthaldimine derivatives and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral selector of Chiralpak AD-H and Lux Amylose-1 was elucidated by molecular docking study, and it was observed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions by hydroxyl moiety on the amino alcohol analyte as 2-hydroxynaphthaldimine derivatives were the main interactive forces driving the chiral separation. The obtained binding energies between 2-amino-4-methyl-1-pentanol analyte as 2-hydroxynaphthaldimine derivative and amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral selector were in agreement with the experimentally determined enantioseparation and elution order by chiral HPLC.

Wild yeasts were isolated from domestic non-sterilized Makgeolli and their fermentation characteristics were analyzed to select the best fermentation seed culture. A total of 65 yeast strains isolated yeasts from non-sterilized Makgeolli and Nuruk. In order to select fermentable strains, hydrogen sulfide, $CO_2$ production ability, alcohol tolerance and aroma component production ability were analyzed. To screen the aromatic strains of isolates, media containing cerulenin, 5,5,5-trifluor-DL-leucine (TFL) and API ZYM kit were used. There were 36 strains resistance to cerulenin and all strains produced esterase and demonstrated tolerance against TFL. Hydrogen sulfide, which could degrade the quality of the fermented beverage, was not produced in 34 yeast. The correlation between alcohol tolerance of yeast and carbon dioxide production was analyzed by principal component analysis. YM22, YM31, YM32 and YM37 produced a total of 0.14-0.18 g/72 h of $CO_2$ indicating high fermentability. Alcohol tolerance was measured by alcohol concentration. YM32, YM37 yeast had 20% alcohol tolerance. As a result, alcohol and flavor characteristics of wild yeast isolated from non-sterilized Makgeolli were analyzed and it was confirmed that yeast was suitable for the production of alcohol.

This study aimed to determine the quality characteristics of fermented wine using Nuruk according to the type of aging container (jar or stainless container) and aging time. Alcohol analysis was initiated at 40.4~39.3%, and alcohol contents in the jar and stainless container decreased as aging time increased. Volatile acid content slightly increased in the reduced pressure (RP) jar and stainless container and showed a different result in the atmospheric pressure (AP) container. Amount of acetic acid did not change either in the jar or stainless container as aging time increased. In the case of 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA), RP was lower than AP after distillation, and TBA value did not change much either in the jar or stainless container. In the case of fusel alcohol by aging time, n-propanol content did not increase either in the jar or stainless container as aging time increased. Iso-butanol content was reduced in the jar but did not change in the stainless container. In the AP container, more aromatic components were measured on the 180th day of aging time than after distillation. High boiling point aromatic components increased in particular. In the stainless container, more aromatic components were generated on the 180th day of aging, but their amount was relatively lower than in the jar. In the jar aging sensory test, the sensory score at RP 50 cmHg was highest on the 180th day of aging. In the case of AP $80^{\circ}C$ liquor, sensory score on the 180th day was the most improved.
