Papain hydrolysate of fibroin was found to be mainly composed of several even-numbered peptides that can be produced at a large scale and can be used as a precursor for biological fine-chemicals such as peptide detergents. Thus, the hydrolysate was further modified to synthesize a peptide mixture of glyceryl esters using the identical enzyme for the production of such chemicals. Formation of glyceryl ester of each peptide was confirmed by identifying peaks of the nominal mass shift of +74 Da in mass spectrometry. Analysis of the mass spectra indicated that glyceryl esters of di- and tetra-peptides were the major constituents of the mixture and that alanylglycine was most preferentially esterified. It also suggests that papain prefers dipeptide to tetrapeptide and alanine to serine or tyrosine at $P_2$ position as substrate for glyceryl esterification. The glyceryl esters were recovered using ion exchange resin and the yield of glyceryl esterification recorded was 17.8% by weight.

Oil in water nanoemulsion of astaxanthin was prepared by high pressure homogenization. The emulsifying conditions including emulsifier type, concentration and astaxanthin concentration were optimized. Stability of nanoemulsion was measured using zetasizer, freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM), particle analyzer and colorimeter. The mean diameter of the dispersed particles containing astaxanthin ranged from 160 to 190 nm. Size distribution was unimodal and extended from 40 to 200 nm. The nanoemulsion prepared by glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate had smaller particle size and narrow size distribution. Stable incorporation of astaxanthin in nanoemulsion was performed and checked using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM). Physical stability of nanoemulsion was not significantly changed during storage at both light and thermal condition for a month with zeta potential value of -41 mV meaning stable colloid.

Unsaturated all-cis-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic(arachidonic), 7,10,13-hexadecatrienoic, 10, 13-octadecadienoic acid ethyl ester and a lot of chimyl alcohol were isolated along with common 9-hexadecenoic acid ethyl ester from marine mollusca Bullacta exarata collected from sangnackworl island in the Korea sea. In addition, cholesterol and its fatty acid ester were obtained. Their structures were deduced from $^1H-$and $^{13}C$-NMR, GC-ms, and FT-IR spectra.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) was produced from lipase by the catalyzed synthesis of soybean oil (SBO) and glyceryl monooleate (GMO) with Lipozyme TLIM (Thermomyces lanuginosa). Effects of reaction time, molar ratio and enzyme road were studied. When 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 (SBO:GMO) molar ratios with 20% Lipozyme TLIM were applied in a 1-hr reaction, the concentrations of DAG produced were 17.8, 20.0 and 20.4 g/100 g oil, respectively. Different amounts (2, 5, 10 and 20%) of Lipozyme TLIM were used at a 1:2 (SBO:GMO) molar ratio, and the concentrations of DAG produced in a 1-hr reaction were 10.8, 14.0, 16.9 and 20.4 g/100 g oil, respectively. During a 72-hr reaction, 10.8-22.7 g/100 g oil of DAG were produced under the reaction conditions in this study.

Recent research on the fatty acyl chains in the membrane lipids in Sarcina ventriculi has shown that unusually long chain bifunctional fatty acyl components are the major components of the total lipid. However, these studies did not yield any information on the complete structures of the lipid species containing these fatty acids. In this study, the structures of a new family of glucolipids containing bifunctional acyl chains are described. These structures were determined using NMR(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Spectroscopy, GC (Gas Chromatography)/MS (Mass Spectrometry), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy, and FAB (Fast Atom Bombardment) mass spectrometric studies. One of the major bifunctional acyl components of the $\alpha$-glucolipids was an $\omega$-formylmethyl ester indicating the presence of plasmalogen. The general structure of the lipid components was one in which the two head groups were separated by a membrane-spanning acyl species. One head group component is a glycerol moiety of each head group, and the other is a glyceryl clucoside. Two regular chain fatty acids, one on the glycerol moiety of each head group, are also present and meet in the middle of the membrane, roughly equidistant from each head group.
