Pyrene is a common petroleum contaminant. This compound is recalcitrant to biological degradation and persists long in contaminated environments. A microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate the degradation rate of pyrene in three different of soil : rhizosphere soil ; non-rhizosphere soil ; and sterilized soil. The degradation rate followed the order of rhizosphere soil)non-rhizosphere soil)sterilized soil. And the rate did not change significantly when organic acids commonly found in the rhizosphere were added to each soil but it seemed to be well related to the increase of the number of microorganisms. Overall, it appears that pyrene is degraded faster in the rhizosphere soil which has the higher microorganism density.

Quality changes of filter-sterilized Yakju were examined by filtration of Yakju through membranes followed by storing at $25^{\circ}C$ for 50 days. To evaluate quality changes of filter-sterilized Yakju, pH, titratable acidity, turbidity, and viable cell numbers of total bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast were measured. Titratable acidity, turbidity and viable cell numbers of non-sterilized Yakju increased, but pH profile decreased during the storage. In filter-sterilized Yakju, titratable acidity and turbidity did not change, while viable cells of total bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast were not detected during the storage. Addition of chitosan at the concentration of 0.1% (w/v) decreased the viable cell numbers significantly showing similar pH and titratable acidity profiles with non-sterilized Yakju.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of mouthrinses prepared by sterilized water-generating $device(Purister^{(R)})$ on the control of gingivitis and incipient periodontitis when it was used as a adjunctives to the mechanical plaque control. 40 healthy patients with gingivitis or incipient periodontitis were divided into two groups. Patients in the experimental group use mouthrinses prepared by sterilized water-generating $device(Purister^{(R)})$ after tooth brushing while patients in the control group do only tooth brushing for plaque control. All patients received scaling and tooth brushing instruction. 1 week after scaling was set as baseline. Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding on probing were scored at baseline, 4 weeks. Gingival index and plaque index were scored at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. The results were as follows: 1. In the experimental group, gingival index, plaque index, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level showed statistically significant decrease, but in the control group, significant increase(p<0.05). 2. There was no significant difference between the experimental and the control group in bleeding on probing, but significant decrease in the experimental group and Significant increase in the control group In a time-dependent manner(p <0.05). From these results, it can be concluded that regular use of mouthrinses prepared by sterilized water-generating $device(Purister^{(R)})$ as adjunctives of mechanical plaque control, may be effective to prevent and treat gingivitis and incipient periodontitis.

In this study, the healing changes of the implanted bone and its surrounding tissues were examined on the histopathologic basis following implantation of the freeze - dried and radiation - sterilized allogeneic bone in Rectus abdominicus of the rat. This study was performed to see the tissue recations after implantation of the freeze - dried and radiation - sterilized allogeneic bone and whether osteogenesis or osteo - induction or osteo - conduction is happened. And the results were as follows : 1. The shape of the implanted allogeneic bone of the 1, 2 - week group specimen was similar to that of normal bone in light - microscopic finding and the atrophy of cellular organells was found in trans - mission electron - microscopic finding. 2. The implanted allogeneic bone was surrounded with the dense fibroconnective tissues, and infiltration of the chronic inflammatory cells gradually became increased. 3. Hyaline degeneration was observed in the surrounding tissue at the 3, 4, 6 - week group specimen. 4. Light - microscopically the resorption of implanted bone became prominent after 4 - week group and the necrosis of allogeneic bone implant became severe with loss of cell components in lacuna. 5. Electron - microscopically, the osteoclast - like cells ere fond after, 2 - week group. It is summarized that the osteo - conduction potential of the bone is remained just after implanting the freeze - dried and radiation - sterilized allogeneic bone on Rectus abdominicus of the rat, but gradually it disappeared with the gradual increse of chronic inflammatory reaction and osteoclastic activity. So it is suggested that the antigenicity of the freeze - dried and radiation - sterilized bone is remained and it has little osteo - conductive activity when it is implanted in the muscle.

Dehiscence of ginseng seeds under the various conditions, growing experiment in the different soil conditions, and growing experiment with extracts obtained by water passed the pot of 4 year ginseng plants were performed. The results obtained are as follows: The survival rate of ginseng plants in the soil of ginseng field sterilized by MIYAZAWA's method was higher than that of the non-sterilized, but lower than that of the control. The survival rate of ginseng plants on the sterilized soil of ginseng field was lower than that on the surrounding soil. The growth of ginseng plants cultivated with the water passed through the pot-planted 4-year-old ginseng plants was strongly inhibited in comparison with the control. Besides biological cause, chemical products excreted from the root of ginseng plants might be the important factors of soil sickness in the successive cultivation of the same plants.

At present, quarternary ammonium salts(cationic surfactant) and Tego compounds (amphoteric surfactant) are used as germicidal agent. In this paper, it was investigated whether their germicidal activities are influenced or not by some suspending agents which are added to them 0.005% benzalkonium chloride aq. solution and 0.05% dodecyl diaminoethyl glycine aq. solution sterilized respectively against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli within a minute. The solutions aded acacia, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate solutions to make to 0.005% to above surfactants solution decreased the germicidal activity, not being sterilized bacteria for more than 2 hours however, the solutions decreased the germicidal activity by addition of suspending agents such as acacia, carboxymethyl cellose, sodium alginate and bacteria were survival for more than 2 hrs, 0.05% of benzalkonium chloride and 0.1% dodecyl diaminoethyl glycine respectively would be sterilized within 10 minutes, when added to 5% suspending agents. This result show that bactericidal action of dodecyl diaminoethyl glycine is affected by suspending agents less than that of benzalkonium chloride.

In order to examine the changes of commercial value during storage conditions and shelf-life of Chungkookjang, response surface methodology of SAS program was applied to monitor orgenoleptic properties and color changes to determine optimum storage conditions. Lightness (L) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang showed under the 1% significance probability with high influence in all conditions such as sterilized temperature, storage time and storage temperature. Redness (a) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang was increased during highly sterilized and storage temperatures, and was individually influenced. One of the generally packed sample also showed that significance value was influenced under 10%, during high storage temperature. Yellowness (b) value of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang showed the significance probability under 1% during storage time and temperature, and under 5% during sterilized temperature. Also, stational point showed saddle type in both packaging samples. In case of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang, compatibility of odor was influenced by sterilized temperature under 10% significance probability. But generally packed samples have an effect on storage time under 1% significance probability effect on storage time, and sterilized temperature under 5%. In case of vacuum-packed Chungkookjang, compatibility of taste was highly concerned with storage time under 1% significance probability, whereas generally packed samples were concerned with storage temperature under 5% significance probability. Overall palatability of vacuum-packed samples showed maximum value of 5.15 on sterilized temperature ($61.92^{\circ}C$), storage temperature ($6.79^{\circ}C$) and storage time (56.48 days) during storage.

We investigated the physicochemical quality characteristics of apple juice upon sterilization using hot water, and under various storage conditions. None of sugar content, acidity, or pH differed significantly among various sterilization conditions but chromaticity was considerably reduced in sterilized juice compared with control material. The chromaticity of non-sterilized juice decreased significantly after sterilization compared with material supplemented with vitamin C (0.1%, w/v). Fungi, yeast, and aerobic bacteria were detected in juice sterilized at $65^{\circ}C$ for 10 or 20 min, but no microorganisms were observed in juice sterilized by other procedures. Vitamin C content affected sterilization temperature to a greater extent than sterilization time. When juice was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks after application of different sterilization conditions, almost no change in acidity, sugar content, or pH was observed, regardless of sterilization mode or storage period. However, chromaticity decreased with longer storage. Vitamin C levels were reduced by higher sterilization temperatures. However, longer storage periods had the greatest effect on reduction of vitamin C levels, which tended toward lower values regardless of differences in sterilization and storage conditions. In sensory evaluation tests, all of taste, color, and overall preference were highest for juice sterilized at $75^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The ASC value was low at a storage temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ and at high sterilization temperatures, and a long storage period was associated with a greater ASC value. Thus, the quality of apple juice was excellent when juice was hot water-sterilized, with additional vitamin C, at $75^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, followed by storage at $4^{\circ}C$.
