Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the non-enzymatic antioxidants stabilities in dentifrices by ascorbic acid and tocopherol according to the chemical condition. Methods: For the analysis of two antioxidants, HPLC UV detector system was used. HPLC was performed using sodium sulfate, acetonitrile(ACN), methanol(MeOH) and measuring absorbance at 240-295 nm. To confirm general pH reaction of two compounds, buffer solution was prepared for the analysis. The dentifrice was titrated by pH so as to examine the change of elapsed time in dentifrice. Linearity of calibration curve of two antioxidants was measured. Results: Each compound showed good linearity at optimized wavelength as well as showing good precision. General pH reaction of two antioxidants was examined. Ascorbic acid showed the highest residue(63.23%) at pH 10 and the lowest residue(2.77%) at pH 4. Tocopherol showed the highest residue(55.70%) at pH 7 and the lowest residue(3.31%) at pH 4. As a result of changing elapsed time of antioxidants in dentifrice by pH, components were remained stably at low temperature($39.2^{\circ}F$) and pH 7. Conclusions: It is necessary to keep dentifrice including ascorbic acid and tocopherol, and non-enzymatic antioxidants at pH 7 and low temperature for improving chemical stability.

This study evaluated the storage stability of a variety of sauce products in the Korean market, determined primary quality indices for three typical products, and proposed functional relationships that are useful for determining shelf life at different temperatures. Most of the products examined were found to combine hurdles of low pH, low water activity, and the use of heat processing as methods for producing the required storage stability while maintaining the sensory quality of the products. For a meat extract solution produced for cold noodles (pH=4.3; $a_w=0.98$), the primary quality change determining shelf life was lipid oxidation, determined here by the TBA value. The primary quality index of a soybean paste seasoning mix (pH=4.0; $a_w=0.78$), which had a microbial load of 2.8 log (CFU/g), was a decrease in its pH. The primary quality index for a sandwich spread (pH=4.0; $a_w=0.88$) was changes in its surface color. The temperature dependence of changes in the primary quality indices can be described by the Arrhenius equation, which can estimate the shelf life at any arbitrary limit as a function of temperature. The activation energies for changes in the primary quality indices of the meat extract solution, the soybean paste seasoning, and the sandwich spread were 20.3, 27.2, and 43.5 kJ/mol, respectively.

Whole cell penicillin amidase of Escherichia coli was immobilized by entrapment in gelatin followed by extrusion and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized engyme preparation demonstrated the recovery yield of activity up to 70% and good stability during storage and operation. The half life of activity decay during the operation was estimated to be about 50 days. The optimum pH and temperature for both of immobilized and soluble enzyme are 8.5 and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. No significant change was demonstrated in the effect of pH and temperature, but the increase in heat stability at high temperature was observed in the case of the immobilized enzyme. It was found that the plug flow reactor could be operated favorably since the pH drop along the column path due to tile reaction product was minimized by employing substrate solution with moderate buffer strength. The optimal condition of reactor operation was discussed with regard to the effect of substrate concentration and the residence time on the conversion efficiency and productivity.

The oxidative degradation of BPA with laccase from Trametes versiclor was conducted in a closed, temperature controlled system containing acetate buffer for pH control. The effects of medium pH, buffer concentration, temperature and mediator on degradation of BPA were investigated. The inactivation of the enzyme by temperature and reaction product was also studied. The optimal pH for BPA degradation showed about 5. Buffer concentration did not affect BPA degradation. On the other hand, the enzyme stability was higher at low concentration buffer(25 mM). Temperature rise increased the degradation rate of BPA up to 45$^{\circ}C$. The valuable mediator of laccase for BPA was ABTS. Elevated temperature and reaction product irreversibly inactivated the enzyme.

The production of lac case by the funguson various media was studied. The characteristics of the enzyme were also studied regarding to the optimum pH, stability, Km value, and inactivation. The maximum activity of laccase reached the 40 days of incubation and the barley straw extract appeared to be a strong inducer for laccase. The enzyme showed stability at wide range of pH with optimum pH of 6.6. Temperature stability of the enzyme was high. Laccase was not inactivated by the organic solvents used for the precipitation. The enzyme, how­ever, was completely inactivated by trichloroacetic acid and sodium azide.

A bacterium producing pullulanase was from soil, and was identified Bacillus cereus and named as Bacillus cereus JK36. The optimal culture conditions for the efficident production of pullulanase from B. cereus JK36 was obtained by cultivating with the medium composed of 1% pullulan, 1% teast extract, 1% bactopeptone, 0.1% NaH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 2H$_{2}$O, 0.02% MgSO$_{4}$\ulcorner7H$_{2}$O at 40$\circ$C, initial pH 6.5 for 70 hours. Using the culture supernatant as crude enzyme, the optimal pH and temperature of the pullulanase of this strain were 6.5 and 50$\circ$C. In effect of pH and temperature on the stability of the enzyme, the enzyme was stable in the range of pH6.0$\sim$9.5 and up to 40$\circ$C, respectively. The hydrolysis product on pullulan was mainly maltotriose.

Protein function of ovotransferrin with various pH and temperature, and its antimicrobial characteristics were determined. Foaming ability of ovotransferrin was high in alkali condition (pH 11), then diminished as time follows. In acidic condition (pH 3.0), very little amount of foam was produced and disappeared promptly in 30min. However, neutral condition (pH 7.0) was revealed as the best area for foam production and foam stability of ovotransferrin. Temperature effect on foam stability of ovotransferrin showed that the highest foam was produced at 60℃. Ovotransferrin was shown weak antimicrobial activity against E. Coli, S .typhi, P. aerug and Candida albicans at dose of 12.5mg/ml and 25mg/ml. Anti-microbial effect of ovotransferrin with either lysozyme or albumine on pathogenic bacteria and fungi shows that the most effective dose was 25mg/ml, especially on S. typhi and C. albicans.

In this study, the stability of cream containing 1% of cannabidiol (CBD) with more than 99% extracted from domestic Cannabis sativa was evaluated. The pH, hardness, content, and chromaticity were measured at intervals of 2 weeks under storage conditions for each temperature for 12 weeks (4 ℃, 25 ℃, 37 ℃, and 45 ℃). The pH of the experimental group containing 1% of CBD tended to decrease more than that of the control group. As a result of measuring the change in the content of CBD in the cream under each temperature for 12 weeks using HPLC, the difference in the amount of decrement according to temperature was confirmed. It was confirmed that as a result of measuring the chromaticity using color difference meter, the yellowness of the cream containing CBD increased according to the increase by the storage period and temperature compared to the control group. From the above results, it was confirmed that the content decrease and color change according to the temperature of the pH 5 ~ 6 cream formulation containing CBD. When CBD is applied to medicine and cosmetic formulations in the future, it is considered that research and development should be conducted in consideration of the change in the quantity and physicochemical quality of CBD under the temperature.

The maximum yield of biosurfactant was obtained by pH ; 3.0-3.5, and temperature ; 25$\circ $C. The degree of emulsification of syntesized biosurfactant was increased clearly by increasing concentration of biosurfactant and it's stability was maintained for a long time. The surface tension of biosurfactant was varied with pH, especially it was showed that the surface tension was high at acidic pH.
