This study aimed to investigate the effect of rice nuruk prepared from rice with different degrees of milling (0, 10, 30, 50, and 70%) on physicochemical qualities of yakju. The results indicated significant differences in the qualities of yakju prepared using rice nuruk from rice with different degrees of milling. Specially, pH, amino acidity, brownness, b value, and color difference were significantly reduced as the degrees of milling increased, whereas contents of alcohol and volatile acid, reducing sugar, and L value were increased. Malic acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid were the main organic acids in yakju, and there were significant differences among the treatments in malic acid, lactic acid. However, there was no tendency according to different degrees of milling. In addition, contents of total free amino acids and nitrogen compounds showed no tendency according to degrees of milling, whereas the content of aspartic acid showed a tendency to decrease significantly. The content of 2-phenyl alcohol in the volatile flavor components showed a tendency to increase significantly with higher degree of milling of rice nuruk, whereas contents of n-propanol and iso-amyl alcohol tended to decrease significantly.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of long-term applications of organic matters on the chemical properties and on the application levels of nitrogen in Fluvio-Alluvial plain of Jeonbug series. The amounts of application of rice straw and compost, the sources of organic matters, were 500 and 1,000 kg/10a in combined with the different nitrogen levels of 0.15 and 20 kg/10a, respectively. The results obtained from the 9 year's experiment during 1979 to 1987 were summarized as follows: I. In long-term application of Organic matter the soil pH showed the lowest value in the 3rd-4th year at rice straw and 5th-6th year at compost but it varied less in control plot for 9 years. 2. Organic matter content in the soils was gradually increased by yearly application of organic matter, while it was higher in rice straw than in compost since the 5th year. 3. The contents of available silica and available phosphate in soil were rapidly increased by long-term application of organic matter and it was especially higher in rice straw than compost, but it was gradually decreased in control plot. 4. The contents of exchangable cations (Ca, Mg and K) and the total nitrogen were increased by long-term application of organic matter they were in rice straw than in compost. But they showed decreasing tendency in control plot. 5. The soil Eh was lower in order of rice straw, compost and control plot however application of orgnic matter resulted in increasing soil Eh due to the rapid reduction of soil from panicle formation to heading stage in rice cultivation. 6. The number of panicles per $m^2$ and the number of granis per panicle were increased by increment of nitrogen levels in all treatments and especially largest in rice straw application. But 1,000 grain weight increased in low nitrogen level with long-term applications of organic matter. 7. It was estimated that the application levels of nitrogen by long-term application of organic matter were 21, 24 and 20 kg/10a for 1st-3rd, 4th-6th and 7th-9th year in rice straw application, and 16 and 19 kg/10a for 1st-3rd and 4th-9th year in compost application, respectively.

Soil color characteristics were measured by a optical instrument, colorimeter, comparing with the conventional Munsell color chart and related to the chemical properties of soils. Total of the 67 experimental soils were taken from tobacco fields that located at Cheongwon, Enmseong, Boeun, Goesan, Jincheon, and Chungju countries in Chungbuk Province having the 29 soil series including Samgag. The values of L, a, and b measured by colorimeter were closely related with hue, value, and chroma of Munsell color chart, respectively, indicating the quantitative measurement of soil color characteristics. The standard deviations in measurement for L, a, and b values was smaller in soil sample passed by 0.5 mm sieve than 2 mm sieve, suggesting that soil particle size less than 0.5 mm was better condition for colorimeter measurement. The values of L and b measured by colorimeter showed a tendency to decrease as increase of soil moisture content but nearly on difference with moisture condition for the value of a. However, correlation coefficient between air dry samples and wet soil samples(soil moisture retension of -10 hPa) for measurements of L, a and b value were more than 0.9 showing the same tendency in measurement. Consequently, air dry soil passed by 0.5 mm sieve was recommended to desirable conditions for stable measurement by colorimeter. The measured values by colorimeter were significantly correlated with organic matter, CEC, exchangeable Ca and Mg, showing the highest correlation coefficient between L value and organic matter.

A series of field and laboratory experiments were conducted to find out the changes of some soil chemical constituents in different soil depth with three different soil textures as Bongnam-clayey, Gwanghwal-silty loam and Mangyeong fine sandy soil on the assessment of reclamation duration in Fluvio-marine soil. The result obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Exchangeable potassium, calcium, magnessium, sodium with manganes, silica and cation exchange capacity were remarkably decreased with assessment of reclamation duration. Decreasing tendency was pronounced more in sandy soil than silty loam or clayly soil. 2. Soil organic matter content in top soil was increased with increasing of reclamation years. From reclamation time, about 30 years in clayly and about 80 years in silty loam and sandy soil were necessary for the maintanance of averaged organic matter content to 2.5%. 3. Potassium activity ratio ($K/{\sqrt{Ca+Mg+Na}}$) was differed with soil depth, soil texture and assessment of reclamation duration. About 50 years is may be necessary for the maintanance of potassium activities ratio in ordinary paddy soil of 0.05-0.2. 4. Percent of adsorbed sodium (PAS), ratio of adsorbed sodium (RAS) and ratio of sodium adsorbtion(RSA) were remarkably decreased with assessment of reclamation duration. Specially, decreasing tendency was pronounced more in sandy soil than silty loam and clayly soil 5. Amount of clay content in subsoil was appearently decreased during 30 years of reclamation, but clay contents in top soil was appearently decreased 50 years after reclamation.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of operating temperatures on decomposition and physicho-chemical properties of household food wastes in a fermentation dryer, which was manufactured by Samwoo Co. Ltd. The household food wastes of 100 kg can be put and dried in this dryer at once. The experiments were performed at each temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, $55^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ for two days respectively. The samples taken at the fixed time were dried at $105^{\circ}C$ and analyzed to find the decomposition rate and the concentration of each substance. The results obtained were as follows: The decomposition rate at 35 and $70^{\circ}C$ was the highest and showed the similar tendency during the experimental period. The higher the operating temperature was, the faster the water content of the composting material reduced. pH value increased at the operating temperature of 55 and $70^{\circ}C$ and was higher than at the other operating temperatures. Nitrogen content did not show any tendency during the experimental period. $P_2O_5$ and CaO content increased during the experimental period but MgO, $K_2O$ and NaCl were not accumulated. Cu content based on dry matter was in the range of ND~100.4 mg/kg and Cd, Pb and Cr were not detected.

The influence of $\omega$-phenylalkylammonium salt on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS has been examined using the electric conductivity method. CMC of SDS exhibited the tendency to decrease with the length of alkyl group of additives. The effect of temperature on CMC of SDS in additive solutions has been observed in the range of $18^{\circ}C-50^{\circ}C$. The free energy(${\Delta}G_m^{\circ}$) for the micellization of SDS is negative and the entropy(${\Delta}S_m^{\circ}$) is a large positive value. The enthalpy(ΔHm0is positive in low temperature($18^{\circ}C$) and negative in high temperature($>25^{\circ}C$). In the prensence of organic additives, the micellization of SDS was considered as a spontaneous process and to involve a phase transition. The values of ΔGm0has shown the tendency to increase but the values of ${\Delta}S_m^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}H_m^{\circ}$ to decrease with the length of alklyl group of additive salts. The changes in ${\Delta}\kappa$(difference of specific conductivity) with increasing mole ratio of additives in the mixed solutions indicated the formation of mixed micelles between SDS and additives. The effect of the length of alkyl chain on the micellization of SDS demonstrated the penetration of organic additives into the palisade layer of the SDS micelle.
