Glyco-acrylate and methacrylate were synthesized by lipase-catalyzed glycosylation of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their vinyl esters with $\beta$-methyl fructoside and glycerol in t-butanol as a reaction medium. At the optimum conditions for enzymatic glycosylation of acrylic acid and vinyl methacrylate, we attained up to 80% conversion for glyco-acrylate from acrylic acid and 90% conversion for glyco-methacrylate from vinyl methacrylate. The polymerizable glyco-acrylates and methacrylate have biomedical application as hydrophilic monomers and hydration modifiers to be use for hydrogel contact lens formulation.

This study was to evaluate applications of the alkalophilic enzymes from Coprinus cinereus 2249 with old newsprint(ONP). A enzymatic deinking process based on alkalopholic enzymes was investigated . It was found that alkalophilic enzymes could effectively deink old newsprint. When applied on deinking of the old newsprint, it increases the freeness and brightness due to effect of hydrolysis at 0.1% enzyme concentration . Also, the physical properties of deinked pulp were improved.

Kyonin(Armeniacae Semen)is the herb medicine that contains amygdalin as a major ingredient. Amygdalin in water is decomposed into benzaldehyde. HCN. and glucose by emulsin. a hydrolysis enzyme in kyonin. A useful and practical method for the optimum extraction condition of amygdalin without enzymatic hydrolysis is required. The extraction yield of amygdalin of natural formula kyonin was 0.5% from crude powers. 0.7% from small pieces. 1.2% from half pieces and 2.7% from whole pieces. (omitted)

In this study the enzymatic synthesis of ester-linked conjugates of amino acid and monosaccharide in pyridine was tested by the catalysis of Optimase M-440, an alkaline serine pretense. Optimase M-440 showed the higher activity in the reaction of monosaccharides which have one or more primary -OH groups. And also Optimase M-440 showed high regioselectivity; The transesterification of primary -OH group selectively occurred.

A xylanase was purified from a commercial crude xylanase, Pulpzyme HC, and used for the bleaching of kraft pulp in the absence or in the presence of nonionic surfactants, Tween 20, Tween 80, and Igepal C930. The purified xylanase has a molecular weight of 23,500 as determined by a reducing SDS-PAGE. Tween 20 was most effective to enhance the efficiency of the enzymatic bleaching of kraft pulp by xylanase.

A study was carried out on the application of supercritical fluid to the hydrolysis of boll fibers of cotton (cultivar Tashkent-6 of Gossypium hirsutum L.) by cellulase enzymes from Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger. Conditions of the enzymatic process were optimized. The stabilities of cellulase enzymes were sustained at the pressure of up to 160 attn for 48 hours at 5$0^{\circ}C$ in supercritical carbon dioxide.

An excellent foam stability in the freshly fermented green beer of a commercial brewery was found to be destroyed substantially by the time it was finished. A further survey proved that the processes of aging and pasteurization accompanied by enzymatic chillproofing were responsible for the foam deterioration.

In this study, the effects of citrate buffer pretreatment conditions (solid-to-liquid ratio, reaction temperature, pH and concentration of buffer) on enzymatic hydrolysis of E. intestinalis for total reducing sugar (TRS) production were investigated. As a results of the citrate buffer pretreatment, a 5.40% hydrolysis yield was obtained under conditions including 1:10 solid-to-liquid ratio, 0.25 M citrate buffer (pH 3.5) at $140^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. The maximum hydrolysis yield of 18.68% was obtained to enzymatic hydrolysis after pretreatment. This result is 1.81 times higher than that of control.

In this experiment, five commercial cultivars and one wild species of loquat were used to investigate frost tolerance and enzymatic activities in leaves and young fruits under cold stress at $-3^{\circ}C$. The frost injury, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and oxygen-scavenging enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were studied. This results showed that the wild species 'Wild Oak-leaf' loquat was the most frost tolerant among accessions tested, followed by the cultivar 'Golden Block'. Other cultivars, 'Wu Gong Bai', 'Taicheng 4', 'Xiangzhong 11' and 'Zaozhong 6', were relatively weak in frost tolerance. The enzymatic activities of SOD, POD and CAT increased initially and then decreased as the exposure time increased. However, the enzymatic peak occurred later in the frost-tolerant accession than in the frost-sensitive accession. The correlation coefficients of MDA contents between leaves and immature fruits were from 0.93 to 0.99 in the five commercial loquat cultivars. For the 'Wild Oak-leaf' loquat, the correlation coefficients of MDA and POD were 0.98 and 0.95, respectively, but the coefficients for SOD, CAT and APX were relatively low. In general, there were good correlations between loquat leaves and immature fruits in MDA content and enzyme activities. These results indicate that analysis of these physiological and biochemical activities in loquat leaves could potentially be used to predict the cold tolerance in loquat at immature fruit stage and to accelerate breeding programs for cold tolerance in loquat.

Enzymatic hydrolysate from non pre-treated biomass of yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) was prepared and used as resource for bioethanol production. Fresh branch (1 year old) of yellow poplar biomass was found to be a good resource for achieving high saccharification yields and bioethanol production. Chemical composition of yellow poplar varied significantly depending upon age of tree. Cellulose content in fresh branch and log (12 years old) of yellow poplar was 44.7 and 46.7% respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis of raw biomass was carried out with commercial enzymes. Fresh branch of yellow poplar hydrolyzed more easily than log of yellow poplar tree. After 72 h of enzyme treatment the glucose concentration from Fresh branch of yellow poplar was 1.46 g/L and for the same treatment period log of yellow poplar produced 1.23 g/L of glucose. Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7296 fermented the enzyme hydrolysate to ethanol, however ethanol production was similar (~1.4 g/L) from both fresh branch and log yellow poplar hydrolysates after 96 h.
