The acrylic monomers were graft-polymerized to starch as matrix polymer by emulsion polymerization. Viscosity and particle size of the emulsion were increased with starch contents due to interaction with water and particle swelling toward the water phase by hydroxy group of starch. Chemical stability of the emulsion was also increased with enhancement of starch, but water and alkali resistance were reduced with increasing starch contents because of the increasement of hyrophilicity. Opacity of the starch-acrylic emulsion compound containing calcium carbonate was decreased with contents of starch by its intrinsic color. The film of starch-acrylic polymer showed more clear appearance with increasing starch contents owing to enhancement of amorphous state.

This study was conducted to determine the changes of nitrogen compounds in lamina and midrib during the curing process with the different curing methods, such as priming and stalk-cut curing. After KB 108 burley tobacco was cultivated by the different fetilization levels such as standard and 20% higher, only the tips and leaf were harvested. Though the contents of total alkaloid and total nitrogen were similar in lamina, midrib showed a very low contents of those components by the different curing method and fertilization levels. The content of nitrate-nitrogen in lamina increased during a middle of curing process, and then these compound was decreased during an end of curing process by stalk-cut curing method. Nitrate-nitrogen contents in the lamina by the priming curing showed a high level caused by rapid drying process during an end of curing process. That component in midrib was 5-6 times higher than that of lamina. The contents of ammonia-nitrogen in the lamina and midrib were increased during a curing process. Though those amount in tips showed a similar by a different fetilization and curing method, midrib of stalk-cut curing showed a slow increasing during a curing process.

The metabolic transit of three samples( 14C glycine-glyucose melanoidin, glycine-glucose melanoidin and soybean sauce ) were studied on rats. The radioactivity of various organs and excreta intubated 14C glycine-glucose melanoidin on rats at various intervals(1, 3, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs were detected . And the brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities in the excreta which is obtained from three samples were detected during the 7 days after intubated. The total amount of 14C excreted in the fecese were 53% meaning that the rest of 47% melanoidin seemed to be retained in the body or metabolized . The radioactive compound showed a small retention in the liver and kidney. The brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities in the urine and feces increased proportionally to the activity of 14C. When the soybean sauce and glycine glucose melanoidin were intubated, the brown pigment contents excreted in the feces were found to be the highest after 1 st day of intubation. In the urine, the model melanoidin was excreted mostly after 3 days of intubation. The brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities of three samples of excreta agreed with each other. The soybean sauce retained longer than model melanoidin in the body is telling that it might have antioxidative activity in vivo.

As regulations on greenhouse gas emission have strengthened globally, the demand for improved fuel efficiency in automobiles continues to rise. In response, the tire industry is actively conducting research to improve fuel efficiency by enhancing tire performance. In this study, silica-filled epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)/butadiene rubber (BR) blend compounds were manufactured according to ENR types and silica contents, and their physical properties and vulcanizate structure were evaluated. ENR-50, which has a higher epoxide content than ENR-25, exhibited stronger filler-rubber interaction, resulting in superior abrasion resistance. In addition, because of its high glass transition temperature (T_g), the wet grip performance of ENR-50 improved, even though the rolling resistance increased. Increasing the amount of silica had little effect on the abrasion resistance due to the increase in filler-rubber interaction and decrease in toughness. In addition, ENR-50 exhibited better wet grip performance; however, the rolling resistance increased. The results indicated that truck bus radial (TBR) tire tread compounds can be designed by applying ENR-50 to improve wear resistance and wet grip performance. In addition, by applying ENR-25 and reducing the silica contents improve fuel efficiency.

The experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of a compound fertilizer for application of potato plants (Sumi) which were prepared by the Kyonggj Chemical LTD. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Comparing with the plot of 12kg/10a muriate of potash plot, the potato yield of compound fertilizer, double rate of potassium sulfate and normal rate of potassium sulfate plots were increased in order to 44%, 7% and 6% respectively. The yield of potato at the compound fertilizer were significantly higher than that of double rate of potassium sulfate, but the latter yield was lower that of control. 2. The yield of potato were to exeeding of final tuber on June 25, which was twelve day earlier than the actual harvest the application of the compound fertilizer may make possible to harvest potato eariler than normal season and benefit fammers which better economic return. 3. Manufacturing it with granular form at diammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate as majour source materials and having little urea contents, the compound fertilizer raised higher the emergence rate of potato plant than the other fertilizer were promoted the early plant growth, and kept potato plants comparatively healthier than the other fertilizer even at later stage of plant growth.

To develop an active material for skin darkening, we examined the effect of 300 plants on tyrosinase activity and found only Caesalpinia sappan has an ability to increase tyrosinase activity highly and melanin contents in B-16 melanoma cells. A compound increasing tyrosinase activity and melanin production was isolated from Caesalpinia sappan Lignum. Brazilin was identified as a new active agent. Brazilin increases the tyrosinase activity and malanin production of B-16 melanoma cells. In conclusion, it seems that brazilin cal be used as a new sunless tanning agent.

The quality characteristics of commercial fermented vinegars made with different ingredients were compared. The pH levels of the persimmon, fig, and brewing and rice vinegars were 3.60, 3.37, and 2.62, respectively. The total acid contents of the brewing, apple, and plum vinegars ranged from 6.33 to 6.57%. The free amino acid contents were detected in the following order: brewing vinegar (521.05 mg/100 g) > fig vinegar (358.89 mg/100 g) > persimmon vinegar (353.02 mg/100 g) > rice vinegar (122.31 mg/100 g) > plum vinegar (103.52 mg/100 g). The free amino acid contents of the commercial fermented vinegars were 56.85~358.89 mg/100 g, and their gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) contents, 0.21~27.22 mg/100 g. In particular, the GABA content of the fig vinegar was 1.3- to 100-fold higher than those of the other vinegars. The total polyphenol compound and total flavonoid contents were detected in the following order: persimmon vinegar > fig vinegar > brewing vinegar > rice vinegar. Hence, the results of this study can provide a new alternative for making functional vinegars containing organic acid and GABA.

Recently, consumer demand for functional cosmetics containing natural ingredients has been greatly expanded. To develop the natural cosmetic materials, we selected 3 plants, Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich (CZ), Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton var. acuta Kudo (PF), and Rosa multiflora Thunberg (RM) which showed high total flavonoid contents (TFC), total polyphenol contents (TPC), and strong DPPH radical scavenging effect. We determined astragalin, chlorogenic acid, and rosmarinic acid as a marker compound for quantitative analysis of the content of each material and standardization of the quality standards and manufacturing standards through LC/MS analysis. HPLC-DAD was used to simultaneously analyze these marker components of three natural product complexes (Mix) and to validate the analytical method through experiments such as linearity, accuracy and precision. The detection wavelengths were set at 210, 265, and 330 nm. The detected 3 compounds from extract of CZ, PF, RM showed significant linearity ($R^2${\geq_-}$0.9947). The limit of detection (LOD) of chlorogenic acid, astragalin and rosmarinic acid were $8.29{\mu}g/ml$, $2.28{\mu}g/ml$, and $27.00{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of chlorogenic acid, astragalin and rosmarinic acid were $25.11{\mu}g/ml$, $6.92{\mu}g/ml$, and $81.83{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The contents of the three indicators of Mix were 19.82-24.71 mg/g of chlorogenic acid, 43.80-46.02 mg/g of astragalin, and 46.33-48.57 mg/g of rosmarinic acid.
