Inactivation by UV-C irradiation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated onto washed carrots was examined. Carrot samples were inoculated with 6-7 log CFU/mL of E. coli O157:H7 or L. monocytogenes, treated with doses of 0, 1, 3, 5, or $10\;kJ/m^2$ UV-C, and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 8 d. The populations of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes significantly decreased with increasing irradiation dose (p<0.05). In particular, E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes populations fell significantly by 2.35 and 2.38 log CFU/g at $10\;kJ/m^2$, respectively, compared to control values. UV-C irradiation inhibited color changes and decreased the whiteness index in carrot during storage, compared to controls. Sensory evaluation results showed that UV-C-treated carrots had better sensory characteristics than did the control. Therefore, the results suggest that UV-C irradiation could be useful to improve the microbial safety and sensory qualities of fresh-cut carrots during storage.

$C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was synthesized by reacting $C_9H_7NH$ with chromium (VI) trioxide. The structure of the product was characterized by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The oxidation of benzyl alcohol by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in various solvents showed that the reactivity increased with increasing dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}$) in the following order: DMF (N,N'-dimethylformamide) > acetone > chloroform > cyclohexane. The oxidation of alcohols was examined by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in DMF. As a result, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was found to be an efficient oxidizing agent that converts benzyl alcohol, allyl alcohol, primary alcohols, and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones (75%-95%). The selective oxidation of alcohols was also examined by $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ in DMF. $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ was the selective oxidizing agent of benzyl, allyl and primary alcohol in the presence of secondary ones. In the presence of DMF with an acidic catalyst, such as $H_2SO_4$, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$ oxidized benzyl alcohol (H) and its derivatives ($p-OCH_3$, $m-CH_3$, $m-OCH_3$, m-Cl, and $m-NO_2$). Electron donating substituents accelerated the reaction rate, whereas electron acceptor groups retarded the reaction rate. The Hammett reaction constant (${\rho}$) was -0.69 (308K). The observed experimental data were used to rationalize hydride ion transfer in the rate-determining step.

Treatment with electron beam irradiation was investigated for the elimination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 which has been linked to outbreaks of foodborne illness on undercooked and raw meat. Before treatment, the maximum populations were observed at 16 hr when E. coli O157:H7 was incubated in TSB at $37^{\circ}C$. Incubation at $4^{\circ}C$ did not influence survival and growth of the strain. The numbers of E. coli O157:H7 were present about $10^{7}\;CFU/mL$ in the log $(6\;hr\;at\;37^{\circ}C)$ and stationary phase $(16\;hr\;at\;37^{\circ}C)$ of cells, respectively. Freezing $(24\;hr\;at\;-18^{\circ})$ had a more marked lethal effect. The $D_{10}$ value at $-18^{\circ}C$ of E. coli O157:H7 contaminated in frozen beef was 0.45 kGy, and inactivation factor were $6.67{\sim}11.11$ at the radiation doses of $3{\sim}5\;kGy$. Therefore, electron beam irradiation was an effective method to eleminate of E. coli O157:H7.

The crystal structure of the title compound consists of discrete 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium, $C_{16}H_{19}N_2$, and tosylate, $C_7H_7SO_3$, dimer. The 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium molecule has a trans conformation at the central C=C double bond: the dihedral angle between the phenyl and the pyridyl rings is $5.7(2)^{\circ}$ and the whole molecule is planar within $0.138(8){\AA}$. Tosylate molecules display hydrogen-bonded dimers with the O-H...O distances of 2.855(9) and $2.899(8){\AA}$, respectively. The shortest intermolecular contact is the distance $3.10(1){\AA}$ between O(3) and C(16).

Effects of incubation temperature and pH on chlamydospore germination of Cylindrocarpon destrcutans (isolate CY-9802) causing root rot of Panax ginseng were studied. Germination rate of the chlamydospores on Czapek solution agar(CSA) was higher than on potato dextrose agar(PDA) at the incubation temperatures tested. The chlamydospores were able to be germinated at range of 5$\^{C}$ to 30$\^{C}$ after 48 hours incubation on CSA. Germination rate was 53.2∼6.27% at range of 15$\^{C}$ to 25$\^{C}$, and the optimum temperature was 20$\^{C}$, whereas they were very low at 30$\^{C}$ on PDA. Germination rate was 43.6% to 47.9% at range of 10$\^{C}$ to 20$\^{C}$, and the optimum temperature was 20$\^{C}$ as well. They were able to be germinated at pH of 5.2 to 8.1 on CSA and 5.2 to 7.2 on PDA. Optimum pHs for the germination on CSA and PDA were from 6.4 to 8.2 and from 5.2 to 6.0, respectively. Mycelial color of the fungus on CSA was pale brown at pH from 5.2 to 6.0 and white from pH 6.4 to 8.1, while it was typical dark brown ar range of pH 5.2 to 7.1 and brown at pH 7.2 on PDA after 21 days incubation.

Good yield synthetic routes for the production of new B-alkyl-dithiaborane clusters are reported. The syntheses of the B-alkyl-dithiaboranes are based on the use of Fischer-type carbene reagents to activate the B-H bonds of dithiaborane for alkyl-addition reactions and are the first examples of transition-mediated reactions of dithiaborane to be reported. Thus, reactions employing arachno-$S_2B_7H_8$- and $(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2}$ (M = Cr, W; $R_1 = CH_3,\;C_6H_5;\; R_2 = OCH_3,\;SC_6H_5)$ were found to yield the intermidiate anions I, $[(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2S_2B_7H_8}]^-$, which upon protonation gave the corresponding neutral, air-sensitive cluster arachno-4-$RCH_2-6,8-S_2B_7H_8(R=CH_3,\;IIa;\;C_6H_5,\;IIb)$ range from 30 to 35% yield. Complexes IIa and IIb are isoelectronic with arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$ and, on the basis of the spectroscopic data, are proposed to adopt a similar arachno cage geometry in which an $RCH_2$ units are substituted to 4 position boron atom of the arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$.

This study was attempted to obtain the efficient milk-clotting enzyme from microorganisms as a rennet subtitute. Fungi which showed the formation ability of the milk-clotting enzyme were selected out from samples of soil hay and wastes etc. Among these isolated fungi, strain no. C-7 which had presented higher value in the ratio of milk-clotting activity to proteolytic activity was selected. The hyphae of this strain was white to gray and no septa. A single sporangiophore which stand erectly above growing hyphae was monomucor type without branching. A globose sporangium was developed at the tip of each sporangiophore. The suitable temperature and pH for the growth of no. C-7 was 20-$30^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0-8.0 respectively. These morphological and physiological characteristics implied that strain no. C-7 was Mueor mucedo.

The isolated products from the reactions of $Rh(ClO_4)(CO)(PPh_3)_2$ (1) with CH_2$ = $CHCO_2C_2H_5$ (2) and trans-$CH_3CH$ = $CHCO_2C_2H_5$ (3) contain 80∼ 90% of $[Rh(CH_2 = CHCO_2C_2H_5)(CO)(PPh_3)_2]ClO_4$ (4) and [Rh(trans-$CH_3CH = CHCO_2C_2H_5(CO)(PPh_3)_2]ClO_4$ (5), respectively where 2 and 3 seem to be coordinated through the carbonyl oxygen. It has been found that complex 1 catalyzes the isomerization of $CH_2 = CH(CH_2)_8CO_2C_2H_5$ (6) to $CH_3(CH_2)_nCH = CH(CH_2)_{7-n}CO_2C_2H_5$ (n = 0∼7) under nitrogen at 25$^{\circ}C$. The isomerization of 6 is slower than that of $CH_2 = CH(CH_2)_9CH_3$ to $CH_3(CH_2)_nCH$ = $CH(CH_2)_{8-n}CH_3$ (n = 0∼8), which is understood in terms of the interactions between the carbonyl oxygen of 6 and the catalyst. It has been also observed that complex 1 catalyzes the hydrogenation of 2, 3, 6, trans-$C_6H_5CH = CHCO_2C_2H_5$ (7), $CH_3(CH_2)_7CH = CH(CH_2)_7CO_2C_2H_5$ (8) and $CH_2 = CH(CH_2)_9CH_3$ (9), and the isomerization (double bond migration) of 6 and 9 under hydrogen at 25$^{\circ}C$. The interactions between the carbonyl oxygen of the unsaturated esters and the catalyst affect the hydrogenation in such a way that the hydrogenation of the unsaturated esters becomes slower than that of simple olefins.

This study was carried out to measure the antibacterial effect of lactoperoxidase/ thiocyanate/hydrogen peroxide system (LP system) against E. coli 0157:H7. When the initial inoculum levels (($10^{2},\;10^{4},\;10^{7}cfu/ml$), concentration of LP (10 ppm, 20 ppm, 30 ppm), culture media (TSB-YE, UHT milk, raw milk) and storage temperatures ($5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,$15$^{\circ}C$) were set up differently for the experiment and the antibacterial effect was compared, the highest antibacterial effect of LP system was shown at $10^{2}cfu/ml$ of initial inoculum level, 10 ppm of LP concentration and $5^{\circ}C$ of incubation temperature.
