The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the traditional Korean fermented liquor of Acanthopanax chilsanensis in order to promote its consumption and develop local products. The ethanol contents of the traditional Korean fermented liquors, which contained the root, stem and fruit of Acanthopanax chilsanensis with 10% rice for 13 days at $25^{\circ}C$, were $14.7{\pm}0.7%$, $15.3{\pm}0.9%$, and $15.5{\pm}0.7%$ respectively. The pH of the fermented broth was pH 3.9~pH 4.4 and the total acid was 0.72~0.75%. The total sugar content was abruptly decreased after 24 hr of fermentation, on the 13th day, to 7.1 from 7.5%. The total free amino acids were 7,045.01 mg/l in the test group containing stems. This was higher than in the test group containing the root and fruit of Acanthopanax chilsanensis. The acanthoside-D was 35.42 ppm and 18.91 ppm in the traditional Korean fermented liquor made from 10% root and fruit, but 57.06 ppm in the one made from stem. In the traditional Korean fermented liquor made from root and stem, the L value (lightness), $\underline{a}$ value (redness), and $\underline{b}$ value (yellowness) are all similar and the liquor appeared to be the same color; however, in the fermented liquor made from fruit, L was low and $\underline{a}$ was high, which made the liquor appear more red.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of bread containing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder (HTP; in ratios of 0, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0% of the total flour). We found that addition of HTP decreased the pH of dough, whereas the pH of bread remained unchanged. HTP caused no significant change in dough volume during fermentation. Baking loss did not show significant difference between HTP containing bread and control. However, we found changes in bread volume with the most pronounced decrease observed in bread containing 0.1% HTP. Lightness and redness of the inner crumb were decreased by the addition of HTP, whereas yellowness was increased. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents were increased significantly by the addition of HTP. The overall acceptability of bread containing 0.5% HTP was better than that of control.

This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of beef-bone broths prepared under atmospheric pressure (BBAP) and overpressure (BBOP). Beef-bone was boiled in water (bone/water=1:2, w/w) for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 h under atmospheric pressure and overpressure ($121^{\circ}C$, 1.25 atm). The BBOP broth samples were found to contain significantly higher amounts of solid, crude protein, crude ash, collagen, and chondroitin sulfate than the BBAP broth samples for a given boiling time (p<0.05). In addition, the Ca and Mg contents in the BBAP samples were higher than those in the BBOP samples, whereas the P, Na, and K contents were higher in BBOP than BBAP. The L value of BBAP was also significantly higher than that of BBOP (p<0.05). Further, as the boiling time increased, turbidity increased in the BBAP samples. In the quantitative descriptive analysis, the BBOP samples exhibited stronger brownness, transparency, meaty off-odor, meaty off-flavor, and sulfuric odor than the BBAP samples.

The AMY2B gene, encoding human pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase isozyme (HPA II), was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and the effects of chloride ions on HPA II activity toward starch substrates were investigated. As seen with chloride ion-dependent ${\alpha}$-amylases-including HPA I, the isozyme of HPA II-chloride ions increased enzyme activity and shifted the optimal pH to an alkaline pH. The activity enhancement by chloride was more significant at pH 8 than that at pH 6, suggesting that the protonation state of the general acid/base catalyst of HPA II was important for the hydrolysis of starches at an alkaline pH because of the increase in its $pK_a$ by chloride ions. The turnover values for cereal starches as the substrates markedly increased in the presence of chloride by up to 7.2-fold, whereas that for soluble starch increased by only 1.7-fold. Chloride inhibited substrate hydrolysis at high substrate concentrations, with $K_i$ values ranging from 6 to 15 mg/mL.

내연기관의 가솔린자동차보다 역사가 오래된 전기자동차는 상대적으로 주생성능과 가격 경쟁력의 열세로 그 자취를 감추었고 최근까지 주로 특수목적의 단거리 저속차량으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 1890년대 후반부터 전세계가 자동차배기가스에 의한 대기오염과 지구온난화 현상등의 문제를 심각하게 공감하게 되었고 마침내 미국 캘리포니아주에서는 전가자동차의 강제판매를 규정화하게 이르렀다. 이 규정에 의하면 1998년도부터 차량 판매대수의 2%를 전기자동차 판매로 강제요구하고 있다. 이 비율은 2000녀도에 5% 2003년에는 10%로 늘어날 계획이다. 따라서 미국에 많은 자동차를 수출하고 있는 일본, 독일 및 여러 유럽국가에서는 이 사업에 막대한 자금을 투자하며 개발에 몰두하고 있다. 미국의 Big3도 에너지성의 도움으로 최근 USABC를 결성하여 전기자동차 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 지금까지 기존의 가솔린자동차 기술에 있어서 일본과 독일에 상대적 열세에 있었던 미국도 이번 캘리포니아주의 전기자동차 강제판매 규정에 따른 전기자동차 사업으로 미국자동차 시장의 새로운 판도를 조성하겠다는 의도인듯하다. 국내에서도 정부가 이 사업의 중요성을 심각히 인식하고 G7사업과제의 하나로 선정하여 산, 학, 연 각층의 전문가가 참여하여 성공적으로 개발을 마칠 수 있도록 적극 지원하고 있다. 지금까지의 평균주행성능을 보면 최고속도 100-120km/h, 일층전 최대주행거리 150-200km 정도이며, 아직 양산체제에 돌입하지 않았기 때문에 가격면에서 경쟁력이 없는 실정이다. 그러나 1990년도에 들면서 각종 요소부품들의 기술수준이 급성장을 이루어서 앞으로 10년정도 후면 성능과 가격면에서 가솔린자동차와 대등한 수준의 전기자동차 개발이 실현될 수 있으리라 예측된다.는 영향받지 않았다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of barley straw application on the eluviation of components in submerged paddy soil percolated. The chemical components of soil, percolated water and humus fraction were as follows. $NH{^+}_4$-N in percolated water and soil, $NO{^-}_3$- N in soil were not detected after prime tillering stage by absorption of rice plant. Phosphate was not affected by the application but a little amount was eluviated through a whole period. Eluviation phase of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ was similar to $Mg^{{+}{+}}$ and the changes of $K^+$, $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ were almost same patterns, whereas the amount of these eluviated elements in plot applied was higher than non-applied. In the plot applied, eluviation of $SO{^{-2}}_4$ was low during the tillering stage but high after heading stage, whereas the whole amount of eluviation was high during the tillering stage. Eluviation of iron in the plot applied was increased rapidly. Humus type was almost same as type B in the plot applied or not after harvest, and contents of humic acid was about 60 percent.

Defatted rice bran was microparticulated using fluidized bed opposed jet mill and air-classified at different air classifying wheel speed (ACWS) in Turboplex classifier. The median particle size and the standard deviation decreased, and concomitantly the specific surface area increased generally with increasing ACWS. The protein, fat and ash contents of the recovered rice bran increased with ACWS. The contents of minerals; magnesium, zinc, iron and manganese; increased positively with ACWS. The phytic acid content, however, was slightly higher at middle ACWS. The dietary fiber content was highest in the ACWS 15,000 rpm fraction showing 31.47%. Higher ACWS resulted in lighter colored powder. The water holding capacity (WHC) showed the maximum value at ACWS 12,000 rpm and decreased with increasing ACWS, while the oil holding capacity (OHC) increased with ACWS. The rheological property of the microparticulated rice bran/water suspension fitted to the linear model. The yield stress and viscosity of the suspension increased with ACWS. The shape of microparticulated rice bran at ACWS 21,000 rpm was spherical, and the median particle size was $3.7{\mu}m$. When cake was prepared with substitution of microparticulated rice bran at 5%, the cake height and volume increased remarkably.

Five and a half months after the Keumdong oil spill accident on the 21$^{st}$ of September 1993, 34 seawater samples and 94 sediment samples were collected from Kwangyang Bay and Namhaedo area to assess its environmental impacts. Hydrocarbon concentration in the seawater ranged from 0.8 to 9.2 ${\mu}$g/1 with an average of 3.3 ${\mu}$g/1. This average value was nearly the same as the value(3.7 ${\mu}$g/1) before the oil spill accident. This suggests that by the early March of 1994 majority of the coastal water in the study area restored to its background hydrocarbon concentration before the oil spill accident. Nutrients, heavy metals and other general environmental parameters of the seawater did not show any aggravated seawater quality compared with the previous records. From the regression analysis of time-course observation of hydrocarbon in the seawater, except the sediment environment, the effect of oil spill on the water column was estimated to last at least 4 months in the study area after the oil spill accident. In the shoreline sediments, oil deposits were, however, still found at the high water marks at several stations, and very high values were found in the west of Namhaedo, ranging from 3.7 to 40.1 mg/g of wet sediment. Gas chromatography of these samples showed a very distinct Bunker C chromatogram identical to the Keumdong oil spill. Hydrocarbons in the subtidal bottom sediments in the study area and the reference stations (YB and CB) ranged from 0.45 to 18.08 ${\mu}$g/g of wet sediment with an average of 3.09 ${\mu}$g/g. West of Namhaedo (Stations Bl2-B33) generally showed much higher values than inner Kwangyang Bay and in Chinju Bay. Chinju Bay generally showed the lowest value among the study area. Subtidal bottom sediments in inner Kwangyang Bay and Chinju Bay seemed to be less affected than west of Namhaedo. Heavy metal concentrations in the sediment were relatively higher in the Kwangyang Bay than in the Chinju Bay. However, metal concentrations in the study area were in general comparable to the reference areas.

This study was carried out to investigate the fine structural changes of rat hepatocytes by repeated treatment of cyclosporin A that has been widely used for immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. Sprague-Dawley rats were kept in experimental circumstances for 2 weeks and 50mg/kg B.W of cyclosporin A was injected once a day subcutaneously for 7 days and sacrificed at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days after the last injection. Fine structural changes were observed by transmission electron microscope (JEM 1200EX II) and the results obtained were as follows. 1. Accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes was prominently increased in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and this finding was slightly reduced in 3 days lapse group and remarkably reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 14 days lapse group. 2. Dilatation of rough endoplasmic reticule cisternae, detachment of membrane bound ribosomes, proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticula were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were mild in 3 days lapse group and abruptly reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 28 days lapse group. 3. Small myelin figures were observed in 3 days lapse group after CsA-treatment. 4. Swelling of mitochondria and destruction of their cristae were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were recovered from 3 days lapse group. 5. Dilatation of bile canaliculi and remarkable loss of microvilli in the pericanalicular wall were observed in 1 hour lapse group and the most severe change was shown in 1 day lapse group and lasted to 3 days lapse group, and these findings were reduced gradually from 7 days lapse group enough to recovered completely in 28 days lapse group.

The effect of Phellinus linteus methanol extract on the lipid metabolism in the liver of rat was investigated in this study. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups including the control, $CCl_4$and high fat group plus sub-groups with Phellinus linteus methanol extract administration. Methanol extracts of Phellinus linteus were fed 50mg/kg B.W daily via drinking water. A 1.2mL of $CCl_4/kg$ body weight was administered by oral intubation twice a week for total six times. The administration of $CCl_4$ increased total cholesterol, TG, LDL and LDL-phospholipid. However, the level of liver cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly decreased while HDL-cholesterol was increased by the extract feeding. The activities of GOT, GPT, AP and LDH were greatly enhanced by the extract feeding. Electronmicrograph showed that $CCl_4$ treatment deteriorated the structure of cytoplasmic matrix with its uneven distribution. However, the extract treatment reconstituted the damaged cytoplasm and stimulated mitochondriagenesis. From these results, it was suggested that Phellinus linteus can help to recover the damaged liver function and further may help to prevent senescence diseases such as fatty liver, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
