High temperature sterilization method (30min. at $40^{\circ}C$longrightarrow30 min. at $70^{\circ}C$longrightarrow30 min. cooling at $20^{\circ}C$) was evaluated better than that of chloride, ion water, $O_3$ water, and salt water for the controling of micro-organisms at the early stage of sprout culture. Due to the improved germination rate and effective control of micro-organisms at early stage, the method resulted in much lower in the number of micro-organisms, higher in sprout yield, and 2 days longer in quality keeping at market than sprouts prepared by conventional method. There are two methods related with water temperature; constant temperature method (18.5$\pm$ $0.5^{\circ}C$) which keeps the same water temperature during the culture and 3-stage temperature method which changes the water temperature depending on the days after culture. Three-stage temperature method set the temperature at 21$\pm$ $1^{\circ}C$) in the second and third days after the initial acceleration of germination (about 4 hours), at 18.5$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$ in the fourth and fifth days, and at 17.0$\pm$ $0.5^{\circ}C$) in the sixth and seventh days. Three-stage temperature method could enhance the resistance power to diseases at the early growth stage, control the growth to standard goods (8-9cm in length and 2.15-2.30mm in width), and keep good body color at the middle or final stage. This method also increased the sprout yield by 6% compared with the conventional method, constant temperature method.

Effect of several factors for Preparation of whole egg gel (WEG) on texture and color of WEG were investigated in this study. The factors studied were amount of water addition, heating temperature and time, pH and NaCl. The whole egg gel was prepared by mixing of whole egg and steaming at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 7 min followed by cooling at 22$^{\circ}C$ for 90 min. The results showed that the increase in water addition decreased significantly with viscosity values of whole egg solution (WES) and the addition of more than 50％ water resulted in a significant decrease in the stress at failure (SF) and the hardness of WEG. The color a and b values of WES decreased and the value of WEG also decreased significantly in negative range. The increase in heating temperature decreased the coagulation time and increased in SF while SF decreased. Addition of NaCl up to 1.3％ resulted a significant increase in SF and hardness and a little changes in color of WEG. As the pH of WES changed from 4.0 to 10.0, the viscosity of WES was minimal and SF and hardness were maximal at pH 6.0. The L and b values of WEG were significantly reduced at higher pH values of 8.0.

In order to improve the solids and protein concentration and their yields in sea mustard extracts, HCl, sucrose, NaCl, EDTA, and SHMP were added during aqueous extraction and studied their effects on quality characteristics of the extracts. The extracts were prepared by 2 hours of boiling of ground sea mustard and centrifugation. Addition of HCl at $0.1{\sim}0.5N$ level was found that the solids and protein yields was significantly improved along with the ratio of supernatant seperated. The maximum solids and protein yields obtained were 52.48%, 36.73%, respectively, while those values of the aqueous extract without HCl were 23.20%, and 4.87%. Viscosity was reduced from 450 cps to less than 20 cps by HCl addition. When NaCl, sucrose, SHMP, and $Na_2EDTA$ were added in the concentration of range of $0.5{\sim}3.0%$, solid concentration and yields were also significantly improved by the order of $Na_2EDTA-SHMP-sucrose-NaCl$ in their effect. The highest solid yield of 55.0% was obtained from 3% addition of $Na_2EDTA$. Viscosity and turbidity were also reduced by addition of SHMP and $Na_2EDTA$.

Dried black soybeans were soaked in water at the temperature range of $4^{\circ}C-100^{\circ}C$ and in the solution having various concentration of salt and sugar, in order to investigate their effects on water absorption characteristics. The hydration rate was determined by the method of weight gain during soaking. The times required to reach specified degrees of hydration were reduced logarithmically by increase of temperature, with showing a break point in their Z-values at $60^{\circ}C$. The temperature effect on hydrations of black soybeans was higher at the temperature below $60^{\circ}C$. Increase of NaCl or sucrose concentration in soaking solution reduced the hydration rate. The Z-values were changed at the concentration of 25% for sucrose and 16% for NaCl. The activation energy for hydration of 30%-50% was found to be 5.7-7.2Kcal/mole. The higher activation energy was required to reach higher degree of hydration.

This study was to investigate the surface properties of electrochemically oxidized Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy by anodic spark discharge technique. Anodizing was performed at current density 30 $mA/cm^2$ up to 300 V in electrolyte solutions containing $DL-{\alpha}$-glycerophosphate disodium salt hydrate($DL-{\alpha}$-GP) and calcium acetate (CA). Hydrothermal treatment was done at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs to produce a thin outermost layer of hydroxyapatite (HA). The bioactivity was evaluated from HA formation on the surfaces in a Hanks' solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The size of micropores and the thickness of oxide film increased and complicated multilayer by increasing the spark forming voltage. Needle-like HA crystals were observed on anodic oxide film after the hydrothermal treatment at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. When increasing $DL-{\alpha}$-GP in electrolyte composition, the precipitated HA crystals showed the shape of thick and shorter rod. However, when increasing CA, the more fine needle shape HA crystals were appeared. The bioactivity in Hanks' solution was accelerated when the oxide films composed with strong anatase peak with presence of rutile peak. The increase of amount of Ca and P was observed in groups having bioactivity in Hanks' solution. The Ca/P ratio of the precipitated HA layer was equivalent to that of HA crystal and it was closer to 1.67 as increasing the immersion time in Hanks' solution.

In order to develop the multi-functional rhizobacteria that can exert positive effect on the growth of plants growing in the coastal sand dune located along East Coast of Korea, rhizospheral bacteria of 11 different plants from this area were isolated 1,330 rhizobacteria. Among these, 23 strains were able to produce auxin and had spectrum of antagonism toward various phytopathogenic microbes. To know the mechanism of this antifungal activity, these 23 strains were subjected to further analyses; 19 strains of these produced siderophore as determined by color reaction on CAS-blue plate, 4 strains produced antifungal cellulase as judged by color change on CMC-Congo red plate, 17 strains were able to utilized insoluble phosphate salts, also determined by clear zone formation on PVK medium. Identification of the strain was assigned to all 23 strains by l6s rDNA sequence analysed, and all were identified to be in the genus of Bacillus and Pseudomonas. One strain of these, denoted Pseudomonas fluorescens IB4-14, showed ACC deaminase activity which is known to be involved in the resistance of environmental stress such as salt and drought. Also, P. fluorescens IB4-l4 showed the germination stimulation and roots growth promoting activity on the in vivo assay of Lysimachia mauritiana Lam. (spoonleaf yellow loosestrife).

To minimize the waste amount of surface layer kochujang during aging, the effects of the three finishing methods(nothing, salt scatering and Polyethylene film on the kochujang surface) and sunning(conventional aging method) or nonsunning aging(cap covering) on water content, redness and spreadability, film forming yeast occurance and salinity of surface layer kochujang during 120 days aging were investigated. In the case of sunning aging, film forming yeast was not visually found on the surface. The surface layer kochujang was so low spreadability(zero) and very high salinity(18-30%) that could not eat. However, the aging method after PE-film covering on the kochujang surface, and then cap covering(nonsunning) was very effective in keeping of soundness of surface layer kochujang without film forming yeast growth on the surface kochujang, especially was greatly effective in keeping of redness, moderate moisture content and spreadability. The PE-film and cap covering aging were effective in prevention of water evaporation and $CO_2$ release, and in accumulation of ethanol and organic acids between the PE-film and surface layer of kochujang.

The critical micelle concentrations($CMC^*$) of the mixed surfactant systems of cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC) and nonionic surfactant Triton X-100(TX-100) in aqueous solutions of salts(KCl and $Na_2CO_3$) and isomeric butanols(tert-butanol, iso-butanol and n-butanol) were determined by UV spectroscopy method. The various thermodynamic values in aqueous solutions of salts and isomeric butanols were compared with the values in pure water, calculated by means of the equation derived from the pseudo-phase separation model. Thermodynamic parameters($X_1$, $\beta$, ${\gamma}i$, $ai^M$, $C_i$ and ${\Delta}H_{mix}$) were found to have great effects of salts and isomeric butanols on the mixed micellization of CPC/TX-100 mixtures, and also in good agreements with the nonideal mixed micelle model. They showed all negative deviations from the ideal mixed micellar behavior.

The Project supporting organic fertilizer started in 1999 as a national policy. In farmhouse, over application of mixed organic compound fertilizer(OC) caused salt accumulation in plastic film house soil. To replace inorganic fertilizer with OC fertilizer, this study was investigated the effect of OC application on yield and soil chemical properties for lettuce cultivation in plastic film house. The OC fertilizer was applied at 50(OC50+N50), 100(OC100), and 150(OC150) % level of the basal amount of nitrogen fertilizer in soil testing recommendation. And these were compared to NPK(nitrogen, phosphat, and potash fertilizer) and PK treatment. The yield of lettuce in OC100 was similar to that of NPK treatment. In OC 50, 100 and 150 treatments, pH had a tendency to increase than that of NPK treatment. Nitrate nitrogen(NO₃-N) and electrical conductivity(EC) were similar to NPK treatment. These showed that nutrients from OC fertilizer were less likely to accumulate in soil than NPK. Also, use efficiency of nitrogen in OC100 treatment were similar to NPK treatment. These results suggest that OC application as the basal dressing at the 100% level could be best to prevent a nutrient accumulation of soil and to increase the yield and commercial quality for lettuce.
