This study investigated the quality characteristics of sea salt coated with coffee oil (SCO). Three-year-old salt was used after drying in an oven at $105^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Product A was composed of 100 g of sea salt and 8 g of coffee oil, product B was 100 g of sea salt and 16 g of coffee oil, and product C was 100 g of sea salt, 8 g of coffee oil, and 0.3 g of shell powder. The moisture content, ash content, color, peroxide value, acid value, and sensory evaluation of sea salt coated with coffee oil were determined monthly during 5 months of storage at room temperature. The contents of moisture and ash of SCO were 2~3% and 81~83%, respectively, but not significantly different during the storage period. Calcium content of product C was higher than that of product A or B. Coffee flavor in all SCO products was retained for 3 months. Hunter L, a, and b color values in SCO decreased with increasing storage period. However, redness and yellowness of product B were higher than those of other products. The peroxide and acid values of products A and C were lower than those of product B during storage period. Sensory evaluation during the storage period showed that quality of product A and C was maintained for 4 months, whereas product B was preserved for 3 months.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of soaking time (6, 12 and 24 hr) and steeping temperature (25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$) on germination time, germination percentage and weight loss of wheat and barley. Changes in chemical composition (such as protein, fat, and ash), reducing sugar content, enzyme activity and pasting profile and GABA ($\gamma$-animobutyric acid) content of germinated wheat and barley were also evaluated. The results clearly suggest that the short soaking time and lower steeping temperature significantly decreased germination time and weight loss, while germination percentage increased. Regarding the chemical composition, the protein content of wheat and barley was slightly increased after germination but there was no significant difference in content of crude fat and ash of both germinated cereals. The reducing sugar content of both germinated cereals decreased as the steeping temperature increased from $25^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. Increasing soaking time and steeping temperature led to increased amylase activity, and also corresponded to reduced paste viscosity. The highest GABA content that occurred with soaking times of 6 and 12 hr and a steeping temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ was 1,467.74 and 1,474.70 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated wheat and 2,108.13 and 1,691.85 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated barley. This study indicated that the optimum germination process for wheat and barley is a low steeping temperature and a short soaking time.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidative activity of soymilk added with buckwheat sprout (SBS), and sensory properties of SBS were analyzed with control soymilk (CS). Moisture content decreased while protein, ash, and lipid contents increased according to content of buckwheat sprout. Solids content and viscosity tended to increase with addition of buckwheat sprout from 0% (CS) to 2.5% (2.5SBS), 3.5% (3.5SBS), and 4.5% (4.5SBS). SBS was found the significant pH drop from 7.08 to 6.43, 6.34, and 6.21. Suspension stability of soymilk slightly decreased with addition of buckwheat sprout. Hunter's color value L of SBS decreased while a and b values increased in comparison with CS. Rutin content was measured 23.78 mg/100 g (2.5SBS), 39.68 mg/100 g (3.5SBS), and 44.80mg/100 g (4.5SBS). Vitamin C content in SBS was higher than CS. Daidzin content increased as buckwheat sprout was added. Total phenolic content increased from 100.95 mg/100 g (CS) up to 315.71 mg/100 g (4.5SBS). For free radical scavenging activity, SBS was significantly higher than CS. In conclusion, SBS can be used as a functional food with higher amounts of rutin, vitamin C, total phenolics, and daidzin. 2.5SBS and 3.5SBS also showed better overall quality characteristics.

The effects of growth temperature and nutritional components on the synthesis of poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid, PHB, by filamentation-suppressed recombinant Escherichia coli XL1-Blue (pSYL107) were studied. After culturing XL1-Blue(pSYL107) for 48 hours in complex medium at 30$\circ$C, 7Al g/l of PHB could be obtained with the PHB content and PHB yield of 82% and 0.371 g PHB/g glucose, respectively. Lower concentration of PHB(3.2 g/l) was obtained when cultu- red at 37$\circ$C, which seemed to be due to the instability of this strain having amplified FtsZ activity. The PHB concentration of 3.75 g/l was obtained after culturing 60 hours in R medium supplemen- ted with 20 g/l glucose at 30$\circ$C, which was more than twice higher than that obtained with XL1-Blue(pSYL105). This suggested that the enhancement of PHB synthesis by suppressing filamenta- tion was more significant in a defined medium than complex medium. PHB synthesis could be further enhanced by supplementing a small amount of various complex nitrogen sources. When 5 g/l of beef extract was added to a defined medium, PHB concentration, PHB content, and PHB yield obtained after 60 hours of cultivation at 30$\circ$C were 7.46 g/l, 86%, and 0.375 g PHB/g glucose,respectively.

To investigate biological activities in Aronia melanocarpa various drying methods were employed such as vacuum freeze drying, hot air drying and cold air drying. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa was higher than hot and cold air dried Aronia melanocarpa. Vacuum freeze drying method showed the greatest contents of total phenol (15.34 g GAE/100 g), flavonoid (3.10 g GE/100 g) and tannin (2.46 g TE/100 g). Total anthocyanin content decreased to 163.52 mg C3G/100 g and 50.15 mg C3G/100 g for hot and cold air drying, respectively. Vacuum freeze-dried method increased the total anthocyanin content (743.09 mg C3G/100 g) when compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa (163.52 mg C3G/100 g). Total proanthocyanidin content of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa has increased to 6.21 g CE/100 g more than eight times compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa (0.71 g CE/100 g). Chlorogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid content of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa were higher than hot air dried and cold air dried Aronia melanocarpa, increasing about three times compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa. These results suggested that vacuum freeze drying is optimal drying method to enhance biological activities in Aronia melanocarpa.

Densities of a large number of mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions were measured with pycnometer. By the least squares analysis of the experimental result, an empirical formula for determining water content of mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions as functions of uranium concentration, thorium concentration and nitric acid normality is derived; $W=1.0-0.358\;C_u-0.4538\;C_{Th}-0.0307\;H^+$ where $W,\;C_u,\;C_{Th},\;and\;H^+$ stand for water content(g/cc), uranium concentration (g/cc), thorium concentration (g/cc), and nitric acid normality, respectively. Water contents of the mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions are calculated by using the empirical formula, and compared with the values calculated by Bouly's equation in which an additional data, solution density, is required. The two results show good agreements within 2.7%.

The effect of fermentation temperature on the production of high content alcohol has been investigated with high substrate concentration. The maximum specific growth rate, ${\mu}max\;was\;0.461hr^{-1}\;at\;35^{\circ}C$ which was the highest, whereas the maximum biomass concentration waas 8.7g/l at $25^{\circ}C$, at the growth rate lower than at $35^{\circ}C$. Approximately 140g/l of ethanol was produced in the temperature range of 20 to $25^{\circ}C$ with nearly complete comsumption of the substrate. Extended fermentation time has been required at lower temperatures, however, for the maximum values of biomass concentration and alcohol content, hence higher ethanol productivity, as the temperature was elevated to $40^{\circ}C$. The viability of yeasts was greatly improved by lowering the fermentation temperature down to $25^{\circ}C$ and also extended survival of the cells has been observed at lower fermentation temperatures, although the ethanol concentration of both waas higher.

Daeripjami, a novel black rice variety developed by conventional breeding has high contents of Cyanidin-3-glucoside(C3G) and a more strong antioxidant than normal black rice. This study aimed at informing ordinary people of the superiority of Daeripjami, a variety of rice proven to be superb physiologically and valuable as natural coloring, and making it popular by examing the physicochemical features of the rice. Recently, an increasing number of people in modern society are suffering from various adult diseases and atopic diseases. Therefore, in order to resolve the problem by making people consume more C3G, the main coloring contained in functional rice Daeripjami. The general components of Daeripjami, Superjami, Heugjinju and Ilpum were compared, As for water content, Ilpum took first place, followed by Heugjinju, Daeripjami and Superjami, As for crude protein and fat content, Heugjinju was highest, followed by Daeripjami, Superjami and Ilpum. This indicated that Daeripjami likely has better cooking qualities than Heugjinju. Amylose content turned out to be related with the volume, stickness and retrogradation of cook rice. As Heugjinju contained more amylose than Daeripjami, the latter was expected to have better eating quality than the former. The 1000 grain weight of daeripjami was 1.67 times heavier than that of Heugjinju. The C3G content of Daeripjami is 3.49 times higher compared with that of Heugjinju. As for total polyphenol and electron donating ability, Daeripjami was high in physiological functionality.
