To investigate fatty acid constituents and relative compositions in the fluid of the follicles, oviducts, uterine body and uterine body in Korean native cow, the fluids of the reproductive tract were analyzed using gas chromatography. The samples were taken from various reproductive tract of 23 Korean native cows. q. Caprylic acid (C8:0), myristic acid(C14:0), palmitic acid(C16:0), palmitoleic acid(C16:1), stearic acid(C18:0), oleic acid(C18:1), linoleic acid(C18:2), arachidonic acid(C20:4) were found in the reproductive tracts of the cows, which made 8 kinds of fatty acid in total. 2. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid were predominant with 35.67%, 24.98% and 17.52%, respectively. while low levels of fatty acids(<5%) were myristic acid, palmitoleic acid and caprylic acid with 1.75%, 1.28% and 2.69%, respectively. 3. Two kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid arachidonic acid were found in the reproductive tracts of cows. 4. Palmitic acid among saturated fatty acids and oleic acid among unsaturated fatty acids were the highest level in all of the reproductive tracts. 5. The Highest level of arachidonic acid was found in the uterine horn. 6. The sum of the palmitic acid and oleic acid were 61.72%, 63.72%, 57.66% and 57.65% for the fluid of follicle, oviduct, uterine horn and uterine body of the cows, respectively. 7. The relative compositions of palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and caprylic acid were higher during the luteal phase than during the follicular phase. 8. The relative compositions of arachidonic acid was higher during the follicular phase in the fluid of uterine horn and uterine body of the cows. 9. The long chain fatty acid, the palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acidshowed higher relative compositions during the follicular phase(86.49%∼95.51%) than during the luteal phase(85.64%∼88.93%).

This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes in pH, proximate composition, pH, VBN, TBA, minerals, and fatty acid of venison extracts, from three slaughtered deers with 180~210 kg live weight (♀, Elk deer, 28~30 months of age) at 4$^{\circ}C$. Proximate composition was not affected by storage periods. The pH, VBN, and TBA ranged from 4.60~4.62, 13.52~15.75 mg%, and 0.20~0/81mg/kg. respectively. The pH, VBN, and TBA gradually increased during storage period (p<0.050. Among minerals, K, P, Na, Mg, and Ca were major mineral contents and the Ca, mg, Na contents significantly decreased (p<0.05) according to the storage period. The major fatty acid found in venison extracts were oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid. Oleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid decreased during storage, but palmitic acid, heptadeanonic acid, and stearic acid increased during the storage. U/S (unsalturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid) ratio tended to decrease during the storage.

The LB technique is one of the most, powerful fabricating methods of organic ultra thin film, which deposits a monolayer film in molecular level onto the surface of the substrate. In order to fabricate the LB film with optimal condition, we have to deposite monolayer film at optimum depositing pressure. which is dependent on the kind of deposit materials. ${\pi}-A$ curve is one of the most important, criteria to determine the optimum pressure. In this paper, we obtained that the optimum pressure is $20{\sim}50(mN/m)$ from ${\pi}-A$ curve of the stearic acid. In our experiments, it was known that LB ultra thin film is deposited beat at 30(mN/m) by checking the characteristics of LB film.

The kinetics of the interesterification of triolein and stearic acid catalyzed by immobilized Rhizopus delemar lipase were studied in a batch operation. In order to clarify the mechanisms of this reaction, three models are discussed under various conditions in terms of the ratio of triolein and stearic acid. The rate constants involved in the proposed model were determined by combining the numerical Gauss-elemination method, and the trial-and-error method so as to fit the calculated results with the experimental data. The accuracy of the obtained rate constants was confirmed after they were substituted for simultaneous differential equations and the equations simulated using an adaptive step-size Runge-Kutta method. Finally, the model which agrees with the calculated results and the experimental data was selected.

The electrical characteristics of Stearic acid Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films were investigated to develop the gas sensor using LB films. The deposition status of LB films were verified I-V characteristic which was increased with an applied voltage for the number of layers and decreased as increasing the distance of electrode. The conductivity of Stearic acid LB films was $10^{-8}[S/cm]$, which is typical of semiconductor. The conductivity of LB films were increased as the temperature was increased. The activation energy was about 1[eV].

This study deals with the effectiveness and its reaction of stearic acid, ethyl silicate and ethylene glycol as grinding aids in grinding of Hwasun flint clay by dry ball milling process. Results are follows ; 1) It was effective that stearic acid and ethyl silicate act as the grinding aids in grinding of Hwasun flint clay. Also, it was proven that addition of stearic acid and ethyl silicate was the most effective in 1.0 and 0.75wt%, respectively. 2) The addition of ethylene glycol below 0.5wt% showed better result than none, but when added more than 0.5wt% it behaved as the inhibitor of grinding process. 3) It was investigated that grinding aids increased the ability of the particle dispression by reducing the strong chhesive forces which is caused by extensive surface tension of water.

The use of ZnO and stearic acid is very well known in sulfenamide accelerated sulfur vulcanization of diene elastomers. Zn-ion coated nano filler has been developed and tested, in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as sulfur vulcanizing activator cum reinforcing filler. In this study Zinc oxide has been replaced by the Zn-ion coated nano silica filler with an aim to study the dual role of this nanofiller in SBR. The presence of Zn-ion on the nano silica filler surface activates the sulfur vulcanization by involving Zn++ in to the sulfurating complex formed with thiazole from sulfenamide. The increase of Zn-ion, on the nanofiller, decrease the scorch safety of the elastomer compound but increase the tensile strength, state of cure and tear strength and attain maximum at its 10% level. The presence of stearic acid increases the rate of vulcanization. Replacement of stearic acid with mono-stearate, however, increases the vulcanization rate but decrease the ultimate state of cure. A mechanistic scheme involving dual function of this nanofiller has been suggested.

In order to investigate the information for effective detection and developing of latent fingerprints, we identified fatty acids composition of latent fingerprints on non-porous evidence surface and the chemical changes of latent fingerprint residue after print deposition during 7 months. Fingerprints from eight Korean male donors (aged 29-50 years) and one female donor (aged 36 years) were collected. All fingerprints were found to contain lauric acid (C12:0), myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), elaidic acid (C18:1n9t), oleic acid (C18:1n9c), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidic acid (C20:0), linolenic acid (C18:3n3), erucic acid (C22:1n9) and docosadienoic acid (C22:2) and primarily palmitic acid (35.45-48.37%), oleic acid (14.84-28.49%), stearic acid (9.71-24.96%) and linoleic acid (7.68-18.8%) occupied 75% of total fatty acids. When the fingerprints were deposited at dark room for 7 months, total fatty acids components decreased about 12-25%. It can be explained that significant degradation of long-chain fatty acids such as elaidic acid (C18:1n9t), arachidic acid (C20:0), linolenic acid (C18:3n3), erucic acid (C22:1n9), and docosadienoic acid (C22:2) resulted in the generation of myristic acid (C14:0), myristoleic acid (C14:1) and pentadecanoic acid (C15:0).

The essential fatty acid composition of evening primrose seed at 3 natural habitats in Korea was investigated by means of capillary column gas-chromatography. The content of essential fatty acid components was palmitic acid 6.19-6.73%. stearic acid 1.84-1. 99%, oleic acid 6.73-9.10%. linoleic acid 74.41-75.53%. Particularly. gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which is a precursor of prostaglandin was 9.14% in Cheong-ju. 9.32% in Che-cheon and 8.31% in An-dong. Based on the GLA content evening primroses in Korean natural habitats seem to be very promising and useful for GLA production.

1,2,4,5-tetraoxane, mono and dinitrate glycerol carbonate ester derivatives of stearic acid were synthesized along with the known 9(10)-keto methyl sterate, methoxy mono-nitrate and dinitrate of methyl stearate. Their cetane numbers (CNs) were investigated to evaluate their viability for use as CN improvers. The CN performances of tetraoxane and all of the nitrate derivatives were investigated at 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations and compared to that of a traditional CN improver 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN). The experimental results suggest that all derivatives evaluated in this study showed better CN improvement than base diesel fuel. Specifically, the 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane derivative of stearic methyl ester was superior to all derivatives studied, also being superior to 2-EHN. We also discussed the correlations between the observed CN trends and thermo-analytical data resulted from thermo gravimetric analysis curves (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
