In cotton fabric sizing the domestic material is normally starch finds itself more frequent uses than the PVA size does. In this study we have examined the effects of ironing temperature and washing temperature on the removal of sized PVA by washing and have got following temperature on the removal of sized PVA by washing and have got following results: 1. the removal of PVA is related approximately to the reciprodal of the ironing temperature. 2. the higher the ironing temperature, the lower is the removal of PVA; and if the ironing temperature is higher than $140^{\circ}C$ the removal of PVA decreases abruptly even if the washing temperature were still high. 3. The most appropriate washing temperature should be at least $75^{\circ}C$when the ironing is carried out at 10$0^{\circ}C$ the same holds for $80^{\circ}C$to $120^{\circ}C$and $90^{\circ}C$to $120^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Hulled oat (Chohan) and naked oat (Choyang) flours were analyzed according to particle size to investigate nutritional components and physicochemical properties. Particle size of naked oat flours was larger than that of hulled oat flours. As the mesh of the crushed ones decreased, particle sizes increased in value. The content of total ${\beta}$-glucan was highest in hulled oat flour (4.23%) with 60 mesh and in naked oat flour (4.26%) with 100 mesh. Most total ${\beta}$-glucan was soluble ${\beta}$-glucan in both flours (over 76%). Total starch of hulled oat flours (63.64~69.82%) was higher than that of naked oat flours (52.45~63.71%). Whereas amylose contents showed a negative correlation with total starch contents. Contents of free amino acids increased according to particle size, and each component was dependent on each type of amino acid. Moreover, while fatty acid composition was not significant, the content of most naked oats was higher than that of hulled oats. Besides, the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid and linoleate) in both types of oat flours was relatively higher than that of other grains. The pasting properties of peak viscosity, trough, and breakdown showed the highest value in both oats with 100 mesh. Further, the values of final viscosity and the setback were higher with relatively larger particle size. In addition, peak time exhibited a lower value with larger particle size, whereas it showed the opposite value for pasting temperature. Starch digestibility did not show any specific trend according to particle size, whereas expected glycemic index of hulled oats was lower than that of naked oats. Moreover, lower values were investigated at larger particle sizes. The results of this study provide basic useful information for processing of oat products to improve consumption of oats grown in Korea.

For the development of $^{99m}Tc-labelled$ antimony sulfide colloid and hydroxyethyl starch, various experiments such as preparation of colloid, control of the distribution of particle size, establishment of labelling conditions, determination of labelling yield and radiochemical purity, examination of stability, and organ imagings of rabbits etc. were carried out. 1) Antimony sulfide colloid was readily prepared by the reaction of aqueous solution of antimony potassium tartrate with hydrogen sulfide generated by treating ferrous sulfide with dilute sulfuric acid. The colloid could be stabilized by adding small amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone. 2) Electron microscopy analysis exhibited the distribution of colloid size in the range of $1\sim15nm$ with a major portion of 9 m. The colloid solution was sterilized by membrane filtration $(0.2{\mu}m)$ and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$. This sterilized colloid was so stable that it was usable at least for one year. 3) The antimony sulfide colloid was labelled by adding sodium $pertechnetate-^{99m}Tc$ solution to the reaction vial, followed by adding hydrochloric acid and then boiled for 30 min. The optimal pH of the reaction mixture was found to be in the range of $1.3\sim1.4$. Instant thin layer chromatography (ITLC) analysis showed high labelling yield of above 99.5%. This labelled colloid maintained high radio-chemical purity of above 99% until 10 hours after labelling. 4) Animal studies showed high uptake of $^{99m}Tc-Sb_2S_3$ colloid at lymph vessels and nodes indicating a suitable agent for lymphoscintigraphy. Satisfactory results were also abtained in other clinical studies. 5) Hydroxyethyl starch (HES $0.6\sim1.0%$) was labelled with $Na^{99m}TcO_4$ in the presence of $SnCl_2$ with high labelling yield of above 99.5%. The optimal pH of the reaction mixture was in the range of $1.8\sim2.0$. $^{99m}Tc-HES$ maintained high radiochemical purity of above 99% until 10 hours after labelling. 6) Animal studies showed that $^{99m}Tc-HES$ migrated more rapidly from the injection sites into the lymph vessels than $^{99m}Tc-Sb_2S_3$ colloid while less amount of the former was uptaken at lymph nodes than that of the latter. Similar phenomenon was also observed in other clinical studies. As a result, $^{99m}Tc-Sb_2S_3$ colloid was found to be more effective lymphoscintigraphic agent than $^{99m}Tc-HES$.

The objectives of this study was to determine whether a new physically modified cornstarch by ultra-fine- or nanoscale pulverizer to reduce particle size offers better bioactive function than native cornstarch in weanling Sprague-Dawley rats. Male weaning Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing native cornstarch (NAC), ultra fine pulverized cornstarch (UFC) or nano-scale pulverized cornstarch (NSC) for 4 weeks. In vitro rate of starch hydrolysis, growth performance, organ weight, intestine length intestinal proliferation and the fermentation by Bifidobacterium of rat cecum were evaluated. The diet with reduced particle size (UFC or NSC) significantly increased body weight gain and organ weight. Feed efficiency was increased in NSC fed rats and was not affected in UFC fed rats. Intestinal proliferation was decreased in NSC group. Reduction of particle size also increased cecal short chain fatty acid concentration and the growth and acidifying activity of Bifidobacterium. It is concluded that a reduction of particle size of starch granules by physically modification may increase growing performance and gut function.

To investigate the effect of soaking and particle sizes on the properties of rice flour and gluten-free rice bread, wet-milled (WRF, dried at $20^{\circ}C$) and dry-milled rice flours (DRF) were passed through sieves (45 or 100 mesh). Soaking of the rice grains affected the particle size distribution of flour passed through the same size screen. The L and b values of WRF were higher than those of DRF and were not changed with decreasing particle sizes, but DRF increased L and decreased b values. The initial pasting temperatures and setback viscosities of both flours decreased with decreasing particle sizes. The swelling powers at $100^{\circ}C$ increased with decreasing particle sizes in DRF, but maintained in WRF. Starch granules were observed on the surface of flour particles in WRF. The apparent viscosity of WRF paste exhibited 3-5 times higher than that of DRF. Thus, wet milled rice flour with smaller particle sizes (${\phi}<150\;{\mu}m$) showed better properties for making gluten-free rice bread.

A study was carried out to determine a suitable light intensity and inoculum size for the growth of Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain B1. The pollution reduction of sago effluent using free and immobilised R. palustris cells was also evaluated. The growth rate in glutamatemalate medium was highest at 4 klux compared to 2.5 and 3 klux. The optimal inoculum size was 10% (v/v). Both the COD and BOD of the sago effluent were reduced by 67% after three days of treatment. The difference in biomass production or BOD and COD removal with higher inoculum sizes of 15 and 20% was minimal. This could be attributed to limited nutrient availability in the substrate. The use of immobilised cells of R. palustris reduced the pollution load 10% less compared to pollution reduction by free cells. Hence, there was no significant difference in using free or immobilised cells for the treatment of sago effluent.

Characteristics of regrowth and starch degradation in perennial weed rhizomes were investigated in a greenhouse. Cyperus serotinus started regrowth at 24 days after treatment of 1.25 g ai/ha of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl. The regrowth of Sagittaria trifolia, Eleocharis kuroguwai, and S. pygmaea required $30{\sim}39$ days, and Potamogeton distinctus regrew at 55 days after treatment of 1.25 g ai/ha of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl. However, all of 5 perennial weeds hardly regrew until 45 days after treatment more than 5 g ai/ha of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl. Regrowth of C. serotinus 4-node rhizomes was 2 times higher than 2-node rhizomes, and $1{\sim}1.5g$ of E. kuroguwai large tubers regrew faster than $0.3{\sim}0.5g$ of small tubers treated with bensulfuron-methyl. Regrowth of C. serotinus was enhanced with delayed application of bensulfuron-methyl, however, 2-leaf stage of E. kuroguwai plants regrew better than 3 leaf stage of plants when treated with equal volume of bensulfuron-methyl. The critical periods of S. trifolia and E. kuroguwai growth depending upon the rhizome detachment were 12 and 18 days after sprouting, respectively. The starch stacked in the S. trifolia and E. kuroguwai tubers were exhausted at 18 and 27 days after sprouting, respectively. The highest level of sugar contents was showed at 9 days after sprouting in S. trifolia, and 18 days after sprouting in E. kuroguwai.

Cultivated varieties of sweet potato were from dry texture type to tender texture type on the basis of consumer preferences. There are many differences in the quantity of sweet potato, starch content, pigment, and sugar content depending on the cultivation season and area, even in the same variety. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to establish optimum time of harvesting through growth characteristics and variation in component like starch, sugar, polyphenol and flavonoid. Four sweet potato varieties were used in this experiment. Among them, Jinhongmi (JHM) & Yulmi (YM) were as dry texture type and Pungwonmi (PWM) & Hogammi (HGM) were as tender texture type. Sweet potatoes were transplanted on 23 May, 2016 and were investigated storage root weight and component contents every 20 days from 60 days to 120 days and surveyed yield at 110, 120, 130 days after transplantation. Result revealed that storage root weight of YM, JHM, and HGM were 30.1, 38.9, 20.8 g respectively in 60 days after transplanting. Storage roots of PWM gerw faster with the weight of 88.2 g. In 120 days after transplanting, storage root weight varied from 88.3 to 118.7 g, HGM was the smallest, and PWM was the largest. Sugar contents of sweet potato ranged from 21.0 to $23.8Brix^{\circ}$ in 60 days after transplanting and from 27.5 to $30.78Brix^{\circ}$ in 120 days after transplanting. In particular, the sugar content of HGM was the highest over $30Brix^{\circ}$ after 80 days. The starch content of dry texture type (YM, JHM) increased from 15.5% to 20.4% and tender texture type (PWM, HGM) increased from 11.0% to 17.3%. Starch content tended to be high in dry type sweet potatoes. The content of polyphenol and flavonoid were highest in 60 days after transplanting and was reduced according to cultivation period. The total yield of PWM was high as 3,154 kg/10a and large storage root of over 250 g accounted for 47.4% in 110 days after transplanting. Storage root (YM, JHM, HGM) of 81~150 g accounted for 34.9% ~ 43.2% in 120 days after transplanting. These are the most marketable. Because consumer in Korea prefers small, round and about 100g size sweet potato. The ratio of large storage root (over 250 g) were increased in all varieties at 130 days after transplanting. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to harvest PWM at 110 days and YM, JHM, HGM at 120 days after transplanting, which planted in late May.

This study was conducted to know the influence of air temperature and sunshine duration on yield, chemical component, pigment color difference and starch characteristics of two colored rice cultivars in the plain area of Yeongnam province in Korea. The $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ value of brown rice in Hongjinju and Josaengheugchal rice cultivars was significantly different at continuous cultivated years, 2015 and 2016. The $L^*$, $b^*$ value of two colored rice was significantly increased in 2016 compared to 2015. The $a^*$ value of Josengheugchal rice cultivar was also significantly higher at 2016 than at 2015. It can be noticed the $a^*$, $b^*$, $L^*$ values in Josaengheugchal varied more than those in Hongjinju. Air temperature during ripening period in 2016 was higher than 2015, especially minimum temperature was too high to proper maturation for rice quality. In Josaengheugchal rice cultivar, sunshine duration after heading was longer in 2016 than in 2015. On the contrary, Hongjinju rice cultivar was ripened under condition of insufficient sunshine duration in 2016. The short growing duration by high temperature and long shiny duration made the lack of pigment for Josaengheugchal brown rice. In Hongjinju rice cultivar, shorten sunshine duration and higher night temperature were the source of the pigment deficiency. The grain size of rice which produced in 2016 was bigger than that of 2015 in both rice cultivars. The 1,000 grain weight of rice from 2016 was also bigger than that of 2015. Head rice ratio was high in the rice cultivars produced in 2015. Protein of milled rice in 2016 was more decreased than that of 2015 in Josaengheugchal rice cultivar, it showed reverse result in Hongjinju rice cultivar. Amylose contents of milled rice in 2016 were more decreased than that of 2015 in Hongjinju rice cultivar. Branch chain length distribution of amylopectin was shown a distinct difference between Josaengheugchal and Hongjinju rice flours by each produced year. Josaengheugchal rice cultivar produced in 2015 had a higher amount of short chains than that of 2016 rice starches. In Josaengheugchal rice cultivar, the pasting temperature and peak, trough, breakdown, final viscosity increased in rice flour which produced at 2016, whereas the setback viscosity and peak time showed lower value than those of rice from 2015. The most pasting properties (except of setback viscosity) of rice starch in Hongjinju rice cultivar grown in 2015 were higher than those of rice cultivar produced in 2016.
