Effect of temperature and initial pH were studied on the pH change of MSG solution during heating. The heating temperature and initial pH of 2% MSG solution were in the range of $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ and $pH\;2{\sim}9$, respectively. The results showed that the pH of MSG solution was more rapidly decreased as the temperature increased and the initial pH decreased due to pyroglutamic acid formation from MSG thermal degradation. A linear relationship was obtained between pH decreased and logarithmic value of heating time and the decreasing rate constant of pH were calculated from the slope. The pH decreased$({\Delta}pH)$ after 3 hrs of heating was 1.2 at the initial pH 4 and $120^{\circ}C$ and 0.33 at pH 5 and $120^{\circ}C$ while little pH change measured at the range of $pH\;6{\sim}9$. Activation energy calculated for pH decrease during heating was 11.77 and 22.26 kcal/mole at pH 4 and pH 5, respectively.

In the intestinal mucosa, mast cells are thought to be responsible for the expulsion of parasites. We investigated the relationship of worm expulsion and mast cells in C3H/HeN and BALB/c mice infected with Echinostoma hortense. In addition, we examined whether the worm recovery rate was associated with the strain of mice, and whether a toluidine stain and immunohistochemistry using the c-kit antibody was effective in the detection of mast cells. In order to investigate the mucosal immune response of C3H/HeN and BALB/c mice, each mouse was infected orally with 30 E. hortense metacercariae. Then, the number of mucosal mast cells and worm recovery rates was observed in experimentally infected mouse strains between 1 week and 8 weeks post infection (PI). Mucosal mast cells were increased in 3 weeks P.I. in C3H/HeN and BALB/c mice. On the other hand, only mucosal goblet cells and worm recovery rates correlated in C3H/HeN mice (P=0.0482). Worm recoveries in C3H/HeN mice were 65.7$\pm$5.6, 53.3$\pm$5.4 and 6.7$\pm$0.6 in week 1, 2, and 3 P.I. and strongly decreased in week 3 P.I. Worm recoveries in BALB/c mice were 23.0$\pm$2.5, 10.0$\pm$1.0, and 6.7$\pm$0.6% in week 1, 2, and 3 P.I. and gradually decreased from week 1 P.I. to week 3 P.I. Worm recoveries in C3H/HeN mice were significantly higher than in BALB/c mice (P<0.00l). The number of mast cells in C3H/HeN and BALB/c mice using the anti-c-kit antibody reached to a peak in week 3 P.I. and recovered as normal level in week 5 P.I. and 6 P.I. The number in E. hortense-infected C3H/HeN mice (P=0.0015) was higher than in E. hortense-infected BALB/c mice (P=0.01) compared with the control group. There were significant differences in the number of mast cells among regions of the intestine in in C3H/HeN mice (P<0.05) but not in BALB/c mice (P>0.05). Immunohistochemistry using the anti-c-kit antibody was significant method as an examination of the number of mast cells (P=0.0002). In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that mast cells play an important role in worm recovery, and immunohistochemistry using the anti-c-kit antibody was superior to toluidine stain as an examination of mast cells.

This study was carried out in order to study the emulsifying properties of kidney bean protein isolate. Kidney bean protein isolate was tested for the purpose of finding out the effect of pH, addition of NaCl, and heat treatment on the solbulity and emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, surface hydropobicity and emulsion viscosity. The results were summarized as follows. 1 The solubility of kidney bean protein isolate was affected by pH and showed the lowest value at pll 4.5 which is isoelectric point of kidney bean isolate. When the kidney bean protein isolate was heated, the highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 96.11%, 97.41% respectively. 2. The emulsion capacity of kidney bean protein isolate was not significantly different with each pH. With addition of NaCl, emulsion capacity decreased steadily. When heated thr highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 82.91 ml oil/100 mg protein ($60^{\circ}C$), 82.08 m1 oil/100 mg protein ($80^{\circ}C$) respectively. 3. The emulsion stability was significantly higher at pH 4.5 than that of pH 2 and pH 7 (p 0.05) When NaCl was added, emulsion stability was generally increased after 2hrs. When heated, the highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 21.25% ($80^{\circ}C$),23.7%($100^{\circ}C$) respectively after 2hrs. 4. Surface hydrophobicity increased sharply as 0.2 M NaCl was added to pH 4.5. When heated, the surface hydrophobicity increased as the temperature increased. 5. The highest value of emulsion viscosity was observed at pH 4.5 and pH 7 when 0.2 M NaCl was added. Under heat treatment, the highest value was 48,000 cps at pH 4.5 ($40^{\circ}C$). In the case of pH 7, the highest value was 105,000 cpa at $100^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this study was to determine the resistance of Cronobacter sakazakii in acidic environments. The D-values of CAFM2 (ATCC 29544), EB 1, EB 5, and EB 41 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 5-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The D-values of CAFM2, EB1, and EB 41 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 10-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The D-values of CAFM2 and EB1 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 24-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The adaptation of C. sakazakii to mild acidic environments may result in increased resistance to severe acidic environments. The D-values of all test strains at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were cultured at pH 4.5 then when they were cultured at pH 7.2 in TSB. These data indicate that cells cultured in mildly acidic environments may result in increased resistance to severe acidic environments. The acid adaptation of C. sakazakii showed an increased resistance to acidic environments. The acid adaptation response of C. sakazakii has important implications for food safety, which should be considered when food preservation measures are developed.

To invesligate the characteristics of silica sorption on soils silica sorption experiments were conducted with 9 soils at 4 pH levels (5, 6, 7, and 8). Silica sorption increased in great extent with increase of pH. At the same pH level silica sorption increased linearly with increase of equilibrium $SiO_2$ concentration. Silica sorption characteristics was C-type. The C-type slope, i.e., the slope of linear regression of silica sorption isotherm, increased exponentially with increase of pH in all soils. Log(C-type slope) increased linearly with increase of pH in all soils. The slopes of linear regression were similar in most soils from 0.29 to 0.34 except Sachon and Jonggog soil. None of the soil properties showed any correlation with the slope of linear regression of Log(C-type slope) to pH. Only $Fe_o$ (oxalate extractable Fe oxides) was significantly correlated with the Log(C-type slope) at pH 7 in simple correlation analysis, and was shown to be the principal contributor as determined by standardized multiple linear regression.

A fundamental study on composting garbage was performed in a laboratory scale of a high-speed composting reactor. Major parameters were moisture content, temperature and C/N ratio. The results are as follows; pH of the compost was the highest at moisture 60% and anaerobic condition occurred at 70%. It was, also, found that C/N ratio, caused a nitrogen loss due to an occurrence of plentiful $NH_3$. Under controlling Temperature, pH was the highest at $60^{\circ}C$ and an inverse effect for Composting occurred under excessive Temperature as pH at $70^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of soil. The variation of pH and C/N ratio was the lowest when C/N ratio was 25. The results obtained from composting garbage revealed that the best condition of composting occurred under 50 to 60% of moisture content, $60^{\circ}C$ of temperature, and 25 of C/N ratio. It is believed that composting may be finished with in 56 hours if an optimal condition is setting up.

Rate constants of hydrolysis of N-(benzoyl)-C-(N-methylanilino)imidoylchlorides were determined by UV spectrophotometry in 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol at 25$^{\circ}C$. On the basis of rate equation, substituent effect, solvent effect, salt effect, thermodynamic parameters and hydrolysis product analysis, it may be concluded that the hydrolysis of N-(benzoyl)-C-(N-methylanilino)imidoylchlorides proceed through $S_N$1 mechanism via azocarbonium ion intermediate in the range of from pH 3.0 to pH 10.0, while above pH 10.0 and below pH 3.0 the hydrolysis proceeds through nucleophilic addition-elimination (A$d_{N-E}$) mechanism.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of temperature, light intensity and pH on the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). The size of C. vulgaris (FC-16) was $3-8{\mu}m$, having round in shape. The cells of C. vulgaris (FC-16) was cultured in the Jaworski's Medium with deionized water. To evaluate the efficiency of temperature, light intensity and pH on the growth rate of C. vulgaris, six different fractions of temperature ($10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$), various light intensities ($100-800{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$) and seven different fractions of pH (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 9) were prepared. The growth rate of C. vulgaris cultivation was approximately 5.2 to 5.5 times faster, the concentration of Chlorophyll a was also 5 to 5.5 times higher, and cell volume per unit area was 14% higher at $25^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ than those at $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the optimal temperature for cultivation of C. vulgaris was estimated $25^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$. The growth rate of C. vulgaris increased slowly up to 5 days, exploded after 5 days until 15 days, and then stoped after that. The optimum cultivation period of C. vulgaris was estimated as 15 days. The optimum pH for the growth rate of C. vulgaris was determined pH 7 to 7.5.

Pd(II) p-tolylamide Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)(NH($C_6H_4Me$-p)) (1) was metathetically prepared by the reaction of Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)Cl with NaNH($C_6H_4Me$-p). Treatment of 1 with carbon dioxide affords the palladium(II) carbamate Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)(OC(O)NH($C_6H_4Me$-p)) (2), quantitatively. Complex 2 reacts with HX (X = Cl, OTf) to give Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)X, $NH_2$(p-Tol) and $CO_2$. Reaction of the palladium(II) carbamate with MeI produced Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)I along with generation of methyl N-tolylcarbamate MeOC(O)NH($C_6H_4Me$-p), exclusively.

I studied about temperature and pH concentration having influence upon chlorophyll decrease on the Glucose culture of Chlorella variegata Beijerinck(211/10a). I cultured under $25^{\circ}C$(standard), $15^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ and compared with each other. The culture of $15^{\circ}C$ didn't have any large difference with the standard culture($25^{\circ}C$) but the culture of $35^{\circ}C$ had a large amount of chlorophyll decrease without carbohydrate accumulation, stimulation of cell division and nitrogen-deficiency. Chlorella variegata had optimum pH 6.5-7 and was a little weak in all phenomenon under pH 8 rather than under pH 6.5-7. Under pH 5 they had deep chlorophyll decrease without phephytin.
