Most carbohydrates exist in nature in an insoluble state, which reduces their susceptibility towards various carbohydrases. Accordingly, they require intensive pretreatment for structural modification to enhance an enzyme reaction. The direct conversion of insoluble carbohydrates has distinct advantages for special types of reaction, especially exo-type carbohydrase; however, its application is limited due to structural constraints. This paper introduces two novel heterogeneous enzyme reaction systems for direct conversion of insoluble carbohydrates; one is an attrition coupled enzyme reaction system containing attrition-milling media for enhancing the enzyme reaction, and the other is a heterogeneous enzyme reaction system using extruded starch as an insoluble substrate. The direct conversion of typically insoluble carbohydrates, including cellulose, starch, and chitin with their corresponding carbohydrases, including cellulase, amylase, chitinase, and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, was carried out using two proposed enzyme reaction systems. The conceptual features of the systems, their reaction characteristics and mechanism, and the industrial applications of the various carbohydrates are analyzed in this review.

We review novel chemical kinetics proposed for quantitative description of fluctuations in reaction times and in the number of product molecules in a heterogeneous biological system, and discuss quantitative interpretation of randomness parameter data in enzymatic turnover times of ${\beta}$-galactosidase. We discuss generalization of renewal theory for description of chemical fluctuation in product level in a multistep biopolymer reaction occurring in a dynamically heterogeneous environment. New stochastic simulation results are presented for the chemical fluctuation of a dynamically heterogeneous reaction system, which clearly show the effects of the initial state distribution on the chemical fluctuation. Our stochastic simulation results are found to be in good agreement with predictions of the analytic results obtained from the generalized master equation.

The production of maltose utilizing swollen extrusion starch seems to have many technical advantages, such as, high reaction rate and high yield, production of high purity concentrated maltose, and low energy consumption, over the conventional method utilizing liquefied starch. The characteristics of maltose formation in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system comtaining swollen extrusion starch was investigated using fungal $\alpha $-amylase. The influence of extrusion conditions on structure of extruded starch, such as, degree of gelatinization, water absorption index, and water solubility index was analyzed. The relationship between the structural features and maltose forming reaction was investigated, and the result was analyzed in terms of surface reaction of insoluble extruded swollen starch. The characteristics of maltose formation from swollen sxtrusion starch was compared using endo-type fungal $\alpha $-amylase and exo-type $\beta $anylase, and the structural trasformation of extruded starch was also observed to clarify the reaction mechanism.

A kinetic model of the cyclodextrin formation in a heterogeneous enzyme reaction system using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was derived emphasing the structural features of extrusion starch. The degree of gelatinization, the ratio of accessible and inaccessible portion of extrusion starch, adsorption of CGTase on swollen starch, the structural transformation during reaction, and product inhibition caused by produced CDs were considered in deriving kinetic model. Various kinetic constants were also evaluated. The derived kinetic equation was numerically simulated, which result showed that the derived kinetic equations can be used to predict the experimental data reasonably well under the various experimental conditions. Kinetic model can be utilized for the optimization of enzyme reactor and the process development for CD production from swollen extrusion starch.

From alumina powder and TEOS, $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder for reaction-sintered mullite was synthesized by heterogeneous coagulation and surface coating, and investigated the mullitization reaction and sintering behavor of these powders. In $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder prepared by heterogeneous coagulation, each alumina particles were surrounded by silica particles of 50~60 nm in size. And the alumina particles in composite powder prepared by surface coating were coated by uniform silica layer with thickness of 50 nm. In both methods, mullitization reaction was completed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 3h, and specimen sintered above 145$0^{\circ}C$ was about 95% fo the theoretical relative density. Mullite grains formed from the reaction with composite powders showed spherical shape with a size of 1~2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

불균일상 촉매를 이용한 대두유와 메탄올간의 에스테르화 반응에 대하여 조사하였다. 온도 40∼$65^{\circ}C$에서 대두유와 메탄올 혼합물 내 성분 분배를 측정하였다. NaOH, CaO, Ca(OH)$_2$, MgO, Mg(OH)$_2$, and Ba(OH)$_2$과 같은 촉매에 대하여 반응 혼합물의 글리세린 함량을 측정하였다. 측정된 글리세린 농도로부터 반응 혼합물의 전화율을 계산하였다. 촉매 투여량, 보조용매 그리고 반응온도의 최종전화율에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 대두유에 대한 메탄올의 용해도는 메탄올에 대한 대두유의 용해도보다 월등히 컸다. 대두유의 에스테르화 반응에 불균일상 촉매를 사용한 경우 최종전화율은 불균일상 촉매의 염기도에 크게 의존하였고, 촉매 금속의 염기도 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 알칼리 금속의 수산화물이 산화물 보다 효과적이었으며, 산화물은 촉매효과를 보이지 않았다. Ca(OH)$_2$를 에스테르화 반응의 촉매로 사용한 경우, 최종전화율의 최대값이 촉매 투여량 4%일 때 측정되었다. 최종전화율과 반응속도는 온도증가에 따라 증가하였으며 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 급격한 증가를 보였다. Ba(OH)$_2$를 촉매로 사용한 경우 보조용매로 HCl$_2$를 투여하면, 투여량 3%일 때 최종전화율의 최대값이 측정되었다.

The clay-based Fe-bearing catalyst was successfully prepared through ion-exchange reaction and applied as heterogeneous catalyst for discoloration of acid fuchsine (AF) in an aqueous solution by Fenton-like reaction. Experimental results demonstrated that the AF discoloration ratios increased by increasing Fe-loaded clay dosage and initial $H_2O_2$ concentration, and by decreasing the pH, respectively. The lower the initial AF concentration, the shorter the reaction time needed to achieve complete discoloration of AF. Comparative studies indicated that AF discoloration ratios were much higher in presence of Fe-loaded clay and $H_2O_2$ than those in presence of $H_2O_2$, raw natural clay or Fe-loaded clay only and raw natural clay and $H_2O_2$ jointly. After AF discoloration, there existed no new phases in the clay samples detected by XRD and no change in the clay crystal morphology observed by SEM. A mechanism proposed suggested adsorption and Fenton-like reaction were responsible for discoloration of AF.

Extrusion시켜 구조변형시킨 전분(질)을 기질로 cyclodextrin glucanotransferse(CGTase)를 활용하여 액화과정을 거치지 않고 직접 cyclodextrin을 합성하는 불용성 extrusion된 전분-수용성 CGTase로 구성된 불균일상 효소반응계에 관하여 연구하였다. Extrusion된 전분을 기질로 이용할 경우 기존의 액화전분을 기질로하는 균일상 효소반응계에서 보다 현저히 증가된 CD 농도, 수율 그리고 합성속도를 얻을 수 있었으며, extrusion된 전분 기질농도가 100g/l일 때 CD생성량과 수율은 각각 54g/l와 0.54였다.

Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.
