Germination of sweet and super sweet corn is lower than normal corn due to the higher sugar and lower starch contents of kernels. Sweet corn seeds are easily deteriorated in the field under the unfavorable condition, therefore it is important to identify the optimal harvesting time for seed production. This trial was conducted to investigate the responses of germination percentage of shrunken-2(sh2), brittle(bt), sugary(su), and sugary enhancer(se) hybrids in relation to harvesting dates. Eight hybrids of four different gene sweet corns were harvested at 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 days after silking(DAS). Germination test was performed using paper towel method. Mean germination percentages across eight hybrids showed the highest value at 45 DAS. There were significant differences among genes and within gene for germination. Shrunken-2 hybrid Mecca was higher than su hybrids for germination, indicating that sh2 would not be poorer than su Late harvesting beyond the optimal harvesting date might not be desirable because of more lodging and ear rots. Theoretical optimal harvesting date estimated from the regression equation was 40.9 DAS, however, practical date for harvesting would be a few days later than the estimated date if seedling vigor might be considered. Kernel dry weight per ear showed similar response to germination. Regression equation showed the highest kernel dry weight at 40.7 DAS. Significant correlations between kernel dry weight and germination were observed, impling that kernel dry matter accumulation would be an important factor for germination.

The objective of this experiment was to study the influence of feed moisture content on the degree of enzymatic hydrolysis of com starch in a twin screw extruder and the saccharification yield of the dried extrudate. The feed moisture content was set at 25, 30, and 35% and ${\alpha}$-amylase solution was directly injected into the feed section at a barrel temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ and screw speed of 250 rpm. Amyloglucosidase was used for the saccharification of the dried extrudate at a concentration of 0.055%(w/w). Expansion ratio and swelling factor of extrudates decreased with increasing the feed moisture content. Addition of ${\alpha}$-amylase during extrusion process raised reducing sugar content of extrudates which also increased with the feed moisture content. The saccharification yield of dried extrudate was higher for the extrudate with lower feed moisture content.

A study for the dangerous properties measurment of dust explosion was attended by the various dust concentration on Anthraquinone, Sodiumbenzoic acid, Corn starch, soy sauce powder, and cheese powder. As the result, maximum explosion pressure, the maximum rate of pressure rise, autoigntion temperature, and the water content of dust on lower limit explosion concentration was obtained as follows 1. The lower limit explosion concentration on soy sauce powder with the humidity of 65 to 90% increased by increasing the con tent of moisture, and the effect of dry air and moisture air decreased better in make of dry air. 2. The effect of a various dust concentration on autoigntion temperatures is investigated, If the vessel of dust explosion is small size and the easiness of autoignition was controled by air within the vessel, because it was better decreased air with increasing of dust concentration 3. The maximum explosion pressures of Anthraguinone, sodiumbenzoic acid, com starch, soy sauce powder, and cheese powder were 1.0g/$\ell$, 1.0g/$\ell$, 1.5g/$\ell$, 1.5g/$\ell$, and 1.5g/$\ell$, respectively, and the maximum rate of pressure rise were 0.5g/$\ell$, 0.5g/$\ell$, 1.0g/$\ell$, 1.0g/$\ell$, and 1.0g/$\ell$, respectively.

Sucrose첨가가 옥수수 전분호액의 레올로지 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 평가하였다. 전분호액은 sucrose 첨가에 관계없이 전단담화 비뉴턴 거동(n=0.37-0.58)을 나타내었으며, 또한 sucrose의 농도가 증가함에 따라 점조도지수$(K,\;K_h)$, 겉보기 점도$({\eta}_{a,100})$값은 크게 감소하였고 항복응력$({\sigma}_{oc},\;{\sigma}_h)$도 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 전분호액의 겉보기점도에 대한 온도의존성은 Arrhenius식에 의하여 높은 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 활성화에너지는 각각 10.80-15.59 kJ/mole을 나타내었고 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 적용된 주파수$({\omega})$ 범위에서 저장탄성률(G#)의 수치가 손실탄성률(G@)보다 높게 나타났으며 sucrose의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하여 탄성 및 점성 성질을 감소시켜 주었다. 이들 동적데이터로부터 전분호액은 sucrose 첨가에 의해 더욱 약한 겔과 같은 구조적 성질을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 sucrose 첨가는 전분호액 내의 입자들의 재회합을 방해하여 전분호액의 레올로지 특성을 변화시킨다. Sucrose 30%를 첨가한 옥수수 전분호액을 제외한 모든 시료들은 이동인자$(shift\;factor,\;\alpha)$를 사용함으로써 Cox-Merz 중첩 원리에 잘 적용되었다.

Effect of microwave radiation on physico-chemical properties of cor'n starches was studied. Waxy com, com and high amylose com starches of varying moisture content(20～35%) were subjected to microwave processing(2450MHz) at $120^{\circ}$ and the experimental starch samples were examined by a X-ray diffractometry, rapid viscosity analyzer(RVA) and. with the samples in temperature was observed and the peaks of high amylose com starches at $2^{\circ}$=5.0, 15.0 and $23.0^{\circ}$, were disappeared indicating the melting of crystallines while those of com and waxy com had not changed. A change in gelatinization pattern was observed in the case of corn starches from type A with nearly no peak-viscosity and breakdown to type C. Except a decreased viscosity, no change was observed in those of waxy com starches.

A maltogenic amylase gene from Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC33323 (LGMA) was expressed in Lactococcus lactis MG1363 using the P170 expression system. The successful production of recombinant LGMA (rLGMA) was confirmed by the catalytic activity of the enzyme in liquid and solid media. The N-terminal amino acid sequencing analysis of the rLGMA showed that it was Met-Gln-Leu-Ala-Ala-Leu-, which was the same as that of genuine protein, meaning the signal peptide was efficiently cleaved during secretion to the extracellular milieu. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of rLGMA ($55^{\circ}C$ and pH 5, respectively) and enzymatic hydrolysis patterns on various substrates (${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, starch, and pullulan) supported that rLGMA was not only efficiently secreted from the Lactococcus lactis MG1363 but was also functionally active. Finally, the branched maltooligosaccharides were effectively produced from liquefied com starch, by using rLGMA secreted from Lactococcus lactis, with a yield of 53.1%.

Yolk index (In, Haugh unit (BU) and weight loss of quail egg were measured to evaluate the effect of composite film (SPI/corn starch). Also, the effect of composite film was investigated to extend the shelf-life of sandwich foods. The quality characteristics of sandwich food was measured by the weight increment The weight reduction ratio for quail egg coated with composite film showed $8\%$ increment after 20 day storage. Yolk index and Haugh unit were significantly different between the uncoated and coated quail eggs with composite film solution. Sandwich coated with composite film showed the less weight increase for 12 hour storage compared to controls.

To investigate lactic acid bacterial population in Korean traditional rice wines, biotyping was performed using cell morphology and whole-cell protein pattern analysis by SDS-PAGE, and then the isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. Based on the morphological characteristics, 103 LAB isolates were detected in wine samples, characterized by whole-cell protein pattern analysis, and they were then divided into 18 patterns. By 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the isolates were identified as Lactobacillus paracasei, Lb. arizonensis, Lb. plantarum, Lb. harbinensis, Lb. parabuchneri, Lb. brevis, and Lb. hilgardii when listed by their frequency of occurrence. It was found that the difference in bacterial diversity between rice and grape wines depends on the raw materials, especially the com position of starch and glucose.

Culture conditions and nitrogen sources were optimized for production of erythritol, a natural sweetener, by Candida magnoliae M26. The optimal culture conditions were found to be culture temperature of $28^{\circ}C$, initial pH of 7, aeration of 1 vvm and agitation speed of 500 rpm in a 2.5 1 jar-fermentor. Glucose was chosen as the best carbon cource bsed on cell growth and erythritol productivity. Kight steep water(LSW) and corn steep liquor (CSL) which are by-products in starch processing from corn were tested as a nitrogen source substitute for yeast extract. The use of either LSW or CSL did not change the fermentation performance. The experimental results using LSW and CSL showed 1.5 times higher in cell growth and almost the same value in erythritol productivity com-pared with the control fermentation using yeast extract as a nitrogen source. These results suggested that either LSW of CSL could be used as a nitrogen source in a large-scale fermentation for erythritol production.

The dissolution characteristics of DDB were markedly enhanced by preparing solid dispersions of drug with polyethylene glycol 6000. Solid dispersions of various weight fraction were formed by a melting method. And various tablets$(A{\sim}E)$ were prepared from these solid dispersions with excipients (lactose, com starch, Avicel and PVP) by wet granulation method. There were no significant differences in dissolution rates between physical mixture and DDB alone. But dissolution rates of solid dispersions were $1.4{\sim}2.0$ times greater than that of DDB alone and $1.2{\sim}1.8$ times greater than those of a commercial tablet.
