Milk protein is often fractionated/concentrated by using various techniques in dairy industries. Among these techniques, ultrafiltration (UF) is particularly efficient at concentrating the casein fraction of milk protein. The objectives of this study were to produce casein hydrolysates by concentrating the casein fraction in skim milk using the UF technique and to investigate the chemical composition of the casein hydrolysates. The skim milk was concentrated using a UF laboratory test unit equipped with 10 kDa and 30 kDa membranes. After UF, the protein content of the milk was concentrated up to ~7.2% and the Ca was concentrated up to ~196 mg/100 g of milk. Trypsin was then added to the concentrated skim milk to produce the casein hydrolysates. The results of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the casein fraction was not present after hydrolysis, indicating that casein in the milk had been hydrolyzed. The Ca content in the casein hydrolysates was much higher (p<0.05) compared to Ca content in commercial casein phosphopeptides (CPP) indicating that was acidified during the manufacture of commercial CPP. In conclusion, it seems that casein hydrolysates containing large concentrations of protein and Ca can also be made from concentrated UF milk without acidification or renneting.

Clarified apple, carrot and orange juices were prepared using ultrafiltration and their single and blend juices were further concentrated using ultrafiltration, freeze-drying, and rotary evaporation. Effect of concentration methods on the quality of concentrated single juices and juice blends was investigated. Turbidity values of samples concentrated by evaporation were significantly higher than those prepared by ultrafiltration and vacuum freezing regardless of juice source (i.e., apple, orange or carrot) or blending (p<0.05). The highest soluble solids contents were obtained for the samples concentrated by evaporation process. Concentrated apple juice contained significantly higher amount of vitamin C and soluble solids than concentrated orange and carrot juices regardless of concentration methods (p<0.05). For blended samples, no direct relationships between blend ratio and total amount of vitamin C were found; however, samples contained more apple juice showed the highest value of soluble solids regardless of concentration methods.

A modelling method for the vibration analysis of rotating cantilever plates with a concentrated mass is presented. The equations of motion for the rotating plates with a concentrated mass located in an arbitrary position are derived and transformed into a dimensionless form. For the mathematical modelling of the concentrated mass. a mass density Dirac delta function is used. The effects of concentrated mass and its location. angular speed. plate aspect ratio. and hub radius of the rotating plate on the natural frequencies are studied. Particularly. mode shape variations due to some parameter variations are investigated.

Strawberry pulp was separated into serum and insoluble pulp by centrifugation and the serum was concentrated in vacuo to five folds at 55~58$^{\circ}C$ and 30~60mmHg. Concentrated strawberry pulp was prepared by mixing of concentrated serum and insoluble pulp. To evaluate the quality changes of straw-berry pulp, color, physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed after concentration and during 18 weeks storage at -18'2. The results obtained from the study were as follows : during 18 weeks storage at - l8$^{\circ}C$, soluble solid, browning, reducing sugar content were increased and total anthocyanin, vitamin C, apparent viscosity were decreased. The result of sensory evaluation indicated that texture of concentrated pulp was inferior to that of control but flavor, color intensity and overall acceptance were not different from each other.

To determine the residual stress, concentrated forces instead of distributed stresses, are assumed to be released around the hole drilled through. Concentrated forces are consisted with pairs of concentrated farces which have opposite directions and small distances. Residual stress determination on assumption of concentrated forces is compared numerically with normal method based on Kirsch's solution and proved to be available when released strains are measured at a little distance.

The optimum condition for the developement of a whey beverage from the concentrated whey was studied. Reverse osmosis system was used to obtain concentrated lactose from cheese whey. The hydrolysis degree of lactose by $\beta$-D-galactosidase was determined using HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). The order of hydrolysis degree was 1:1, 2:l and 3:l concentrated lactose. It resulted from the concentrated salt which slightly inhibited $\beta$-D-galactosidase with constant enzyme dosage. The optimum condition for enzyme dosage was 2% in non-concentrated lactose, 3% in 2:l and 3% in 3:l concentrated lactose after 4 hours of reaction. When the 3:l concentrated lactose was used, more than 70% was hydrolyzed by 3% enzyme dosage. Furthermore the change of fermented whey by lactic acid bacteria was investigated. Based on the result of sensory test, the most favorable response was obtained at pH 4.2 and titratable acidity of 0.7% about 6 hours of fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ with 2%: thermophilic starter.

This study was designed to compare various quality characteristics, such as nutrient composition and physicochemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk made by a newly developed continuous multi-stage process with those of evaporated milk. The freeze concentration process reduced the water content up to 73%. Most of the physicochemical properties of evaporated milk were different from raw milk; however the freeze-concentrated milk showed little difference from the raw milk. The thiobarbituric acid value and free fatty acid concentrations were significantly greater in the evaporated milk than in the freeze-concentrated milk. Several effects on sensory characteristics, such as off-taste, were significantly stronger in the evaporated milk. Overall, this study indicates that the newly developed freeze concentration technique results in improved physicochemical and sensory properties, and has little effect on most nutrient levels when compared with the evaporation process. Further research is necessary to further elucidate the chemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk.

The volatile flavor components of snow crabs from the Young-duk coast of Korea and their concentrated cooker effluent were isolated by a modified method from Likens and Nickerson, using a simultaneous distillation and extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by gas chromatography and GC-MS. The flavor profile of boiled crab demonstrated that the favorable flavor characteristic of crab involved a seafood-like note, and that of concentrated cooker effluent demonstrated that the weak boiled crab flavor involved a fishy note. The main flavor components of boiled crab were heterocyclic compounds including alkylpyrazines, thizoles and thiolanes, aliphatic ketones including 2-heptanone and nonanone. On the other hand, the main flavor components of cooker effluent were aldehydes including 3-methylbutanal, alipatic ketones including 2-heptanone and alkanes including 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-pentadecane. Almost all of heterocyclic compounds, which seem to be important contributors to the flavor of boiled crab, were not identified in concentrated cooker effluent. As a result, there may be a need to add the crab flavor components formed through model experiments of Maillard reactions to the concentrated cooker effluent for human consumption.

The garlic juices were extracted and concentrated by heating at $90^{\circ}C$, by using a rotary vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$, or by freezing at $-50^{\circ}C$ until the volume was reduced to 70% of the original volume. The concentrated juices were kept at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;25^{\circ}C$ for 60 days and the changes of bacteria and color were monitored every 10 days. Flavors of the raw garlic juices, concentrated garlic juices, and garlic powder by hot-air drying were analyzed monthly using GC and GC/MS. The CFUs/mL of mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria in the garlic juice concentrated at $90^{\circ}C$ were lower about 1 to 2 log cycles than those of other concentrated juices. Hunter L, a, and b values in the raw garlic raw juice and the juice concentrated at $-50^{\circ}C$ significantly increased at the beginning of storage, in particular, when they were stored at $25^{\circ}C$. The garlic juice concentrated at $45^{\circ}C$ showed relatively low L value but the juice concentrated at $90^{\circ}C$ showed high a value. The main peaks in chromatograms of volatile components identified by GC/MS were 3,3'-thiobis-1-propene, di-2-propenyl disulfide, 3-(methylthio)-1-propene in the raw garlic juice and the concentrated juices, and the juices concentrated at $45^{\circ}C\;or\;-50^{\circ}C$ showed relatively high preservation of garlic flavor.

An incongruity is underlined about the analysis of Timoshenko beams subjected to concentrated loads modelled through the use of generalized functions. While for Euler-Bernoulli beams this modeling always leads to effective results, on the contrary, the contemporary assumptions of concentrated external moment, interpreted as a generalized function (doublet), and of shear deformation determine inconsistent discontinuities in the deflection laws. A physical/theoretical explanation of this not-neglecting incongruity is given in the text.
