The influence of the storage temperature and time after slaughter on the thermal denaturation of PSE porcine muscle protein was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and by measuring the solubility of the sarcoplasmic proteins. In the DSC therodiagram a decrease of the endotherm enthalpy of the myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle could be observed with an increase in the storage temperature and time of post mortem. Storage temperature at $20^{\circ}C$ during the first four hours of post mortem resulted in relatively slight denaturation of myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle. Storage temperature above $25^{\circ}C$ caused to increase the denaturation of muscle proteins. The minimal drip loss in PSE muscle could be observed, when the muscle was cooled to $2^{\circ}C$ as quickly as possible post mortem. However, when stored for several hours of post morte at a temperature between $32^{\circ}C-38^{\circ}C$, the drip loss reached the level established for PSE muscle. The paleness of PSE muscle could be prevented to some extent by rapid chill to $20^{\circ}C$ post mortem. The more the muscle proteins in the PSE muscle become denatured during the early storage period of post mortem, the more the drip loss increases. With the increase in the denaturation of myosin plus sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle with regard to temperature of post mortem, there was a corresponding decrease in the solubility of the sarcoplasmic proteins in PSE muscle.

Methacrylic acid was graft polymerized with benzoyl peroxide in itiator onto the commercial PET film. Graft polymerization was carried out in emulsion, which consisted of BPO (1), chlorobenzene(8) as swelling agent, tween 80(1) and sodium lauryl sulfate(1) as emulsifier and water(1,000). Original PET film has poor reactivities and, so the film preswdled with benzyl alcohol($150^{\circ}C$, 1hr) was also examined. The graft yield of PET film was increased with reaction temperature and monomer concentration. The graft yield of preswelled PET film was higher than that of no-treated PET film. Moisture regain was linearly increased with graft yield. DSC thermodiagram showed the Tm of grafted PET film was same as that of original PET film. Grafted PET film was dyed with methylene blue solution. The photograph of the cross section showed that grafting was occured not at the center but near surfaces.
