This study was carried out to investigate the effect of polyamines, salt strength. sucrose and gelling agents on the regeneration of plantlets by meristem culture of Aloe arborescens Mill. and Aloe vera L.. Shoot multiplication was more effective when 10mg/ l spermine in Aloe arborescens and 1mg/ l spermidine in Aloe vera added into MS medium than when other polyamines were treated into media. A quarter strength of MS medium was effective for rooting of shoots regenerated. Higher concentration of sucrose (45g/ l) was more effective for shoot regeneration. Addition of 4g/ l gelrite into the medium was effective for induction of multiple shoots from Aloe than that of agar or other concentrations of gelrite. When plantlets regenerated from meristem culture were transferred to pot. survival rate of plantlets was 80% on perlite and was 95% on vermiculite. respectively.

We investigated the optimum formulation to improve the gelling ability of squid, Dosidicus gigas, surimi. The solubility of minced squid muscle was highest at pH 10.7, and lowest at pH 5.0. The yields of conventional surimi and protein recovery after alkaline pH-shift processing were $68.1{\pm}2.4%$ and $65.3{\pm}2.6%$, respectively, whereas the protein recovery with acidic pH-shift processing was only $21.2{\pm}1.6%$. The addition of 5% starch decreased the breaking force regardless of the kind of starch, while the mixture of corn, potato, and wheat starch (total 15%) increased the breaking force by up to 1.9 fold. The addition of 5% egg white, 5% porcine plasma protein, 0.3% $CaCl_2$, and 0.3% Polymix GA significantly increased the breakingforce (P<0.05). None of the ingredients examined in this study significantly affected the deformation value (P<0.05). The optimum concentrations of egg white and $CaCl_2$ to obtain a breaking force of 55 g and a whiteness of 70 were 2.69% and 0.22%, respectively.

This study is described the stabilizing technology of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion and the mechanism of emulsification with quaternium-18 hectorite (Q-18 HTRT) by swelling action. When Q-18 HTRT is dispersed in oil, it swells and constructs card-house structure adding ethanol, and formation of water phase is caused by hydrogen bonding. The gelling activities of Q-18 HTRT were excellent such as mineral oil, squalane, cetostearyl isononanoate, isostearic acid, cetyl octanoate, octyl dodecanol and so on. Especially, when oil gel containing Q-18 HTRT passed one to three times by Roll mill. It made the W/O emulsion cream (W/O-ECRM) having 2.0 w/w% of Q-18 HTRT and also produced the control sample (control) including 3.0 w/w% of cetyl PEG/PPG- l0/l dimethicone. The stability of after 24 weeks, Hardness of W/O-ECRM dropped 7.48%, whereas hardness of control went down 57 71%. As a result of these test emulsification of W/O-ECRM is superior compared with control. In cosmetic, 0-18 HTRT can use as suspending agent, oil adsorbent, emulsifying agent, dispersing agent, viscosifier and pigment.

The functions of polyoxyethylene tocopheryl ethers [POE(n)TEs] in emulsion, solubilization and gel were studied. For emulsification of liquid paraffin, POE(10)TE showed better emulsifying effect in O/W emulsions than others tested. The effects of oil and polyol content on the formulation of W/O and O/W emulsions were also studied. In O/W emulsion, the viscosity was increased by increasing the liquid paraffin content, at about 70%, and slightly increased by increasing the propylene glycol content, However, in W/O emulsion, the viscosity was decreased by increasing the oil content, and also decreased by increasing the propylene glycol content, For solubilization of perfume oil, POE(18)TE showed better solubilizing effect than the others tested. The gelling effect of POE(n)TEs increased with ethylene oxide chain length up to 50 moles. The gelling property was evaluated for hardness and viscosity.

Egg white powders (EWPs) were produced after pH adjustment (PH 6-9) of fresh egg white, followed by spray-drying, and foaming and gelling properties of EWPs were examined. EWP produced after pH adjustment to 6.5 (EWP-6.5) resulted in significantly higher foaming ability and gel hardness than control and other pH-adjusted EWP. Significant increases in surface -SH content and surface hydrophobicity of EWP-6.5 coincided with improved foaming ability and gel hardness. Significantly higher consistency index for reconstituted EWP-6.5 indicates unfolding of egg white protein was substantially increased in EWP-6.5. Decreased a-helix content in EWP-6.5 was confirmed by circular dichroism spectral analysis. These results indicate pH adjustment prior to spray-drying leads to structural changes in egg white proteins, significantly affecting major functionalities of EWP.

A cholesterol-bridge-naphthopyran dyad (NP-MCB) was designed and synthesized. NP-MCB can readily self-assemble into gels under ultrasound-radiation in several organic solvents and the formed gels easily transfer to solution by heat. This reversible process can be repeated many times. Scanning Electron Microscopy results showed that the morphologies of all formed xerogels in different solvents have fibrillar microstructure. The gels formation was due to energy and pressure afforded by the ultrasonic process, resulting in formation of molecular hydrogen bonding and molecular aggregation. NP-MCB displayed the normal photochromism both in solution and gel states. The kinetic results confirm that the colored merocyanine in gels show a slower fading speed than that in solution due to the compact aggregation of NP-MCB molecules in gels. The xerogel film formed in polar gelling solvent had large surface wettability than that in nonpolar gelling solvent.

Hyperhydricity is a physiological anomaly that significantly affects the growth and proliferation rate of crops cultivated by tissue culture techniques. To better understand the mechanisms that govern hyperhydricity incidence, we examined the effects of several media components, particularly cytokinin and gelling agents. These elements were found to be influential in both in vitro propagation and the development of hyperhydricity. Our study revealed that Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings had a greater manifestation of hyperhydricity symptoms when exposed to high cytokinin concentrations compared with the control. The presence of gelrite led to the manifestation of hyperhydric symptoms by elevated water build-up in the apoplast. The phenomenon of stomata closure was observed in the hyperhydric leaves, resulting in an increased ability to retain water and a decrease in the transpiration rates when compared to their respective control leaves. Additionally, histological examinations of the cross sections of hyperhydric leaves revealed an irregular cellular arrangement and large intercellular spaces. Furthermore, hyperhydric seedlings displayed impaired cuticular development in comparison to their normal seedlings.
