Acid- and enzymatic hydrolysis properties of two fructans(inulin and levan) and their oligofructoses has been investigated. At pH 1, the initial fructose release rate differs and is rapidly hydrolyzed in the order of levan oligosaccharide and inulin oligosaccharide, levan, inulin. At pH 4.5, 7 and 14, no or little amount of fructose are found from four samples. At the presence of inulinase in the reaction mixture, the fructose is rapidly produced from all samples, whilst invertase treatments show low activities. The results allow the estimation of the fructose release rate in many foodstuff processing conditions.

Changes in chemical composition of the ethanolic extract of roasted Asparagi Tuber were investigated by HPLC. One dramatically increased peak $(t_R\;14.85 min)$ was isolated by silica gel column chromatograph and identified as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) by comparing its $1^H-NMR$ data with that of a commercial standard. HMF content reached its maximum level at $190^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes. Under these conditions, HMF contents in the roasted Asparagi Tuber was increased about thirteen times (9.26mg/g) over the not-roasted control (0.71 mg/g). No significant differences were found in macrophage-activating, prolyl endopeptidase-inhibiting, antioxidative (DPPH), anti-coagulating (activated partial thromboplastin times), and ACE-inhibiting activities between roasted and not-roasted Asparagi Tuber.

Fecal contamination levels of discharge water from inland pollution sources were investigated in Iwon-myeon (Taean-gun), South Korea. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated during the investigation and the antimicrobial resistance patterns of the isolates were examined to estimate their impact on the coastal environment. The ranges of total coliform and fecal coliform of 12 samples from four major inland pollution sources were 79-490,000 MPN/100 mL and 2.0-490,000 MPN/100 mL, respectively, with the highest level of fecal contamination at Station No. 3. A total of 137 strains (14 genus) were isolated, of which 86 strains (62.8%) were Enterobacteriaceae. The identified isolates were as follows: Pseudomonas spp. (35 strains), Klebsiella spp. (20 strains), Serratia spp. (20 strains), and Escherichia spp. (19 strains). The isolated Gram-negative bacteria showed the highest antimicrobial resistance to ampicillin (81.8%), followed by amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (64.2%), ceftiofur (61.3%), and cefoxitin (59.1%). Antimicrobials in which less than 10% of isolates showed antimicrobial resistance were ciprofloxacin (3.6%) and gentamicin (2.2%). Resistance to one or more antimicrobials was observed in 121 strains (88.3%) and 84 strains (61.3%) showed a tendency for multiple antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli were investigated. Strains were isolated from 310 shellfish, 36 crustaceans, and 12 fish collected off the West Coast of Korea from April 2019 to October 2020. Two hundred and ninety-five E. coli strains were isolated from shellfish, 100 from crustaceans, and 54 from fish. Strains isolated from shellfish showed the highest resistance to ampicillin (27.5%), whereas those from crustaceans were resistant to sulfisoxazole (30.0%) and those from fish were resistant to ampicillin (59.3%) and sulfisoxazole (59.3%). Ceftazidime resistance was observed in strains isolated from short neck and hard clams, whereas gentamicin resistance was observed in strains from fish. Multi-drug resistance was observed in 56 strains (48.7%) isolated from shellfish, 11 (28.2%) from crustaceans and 27 (73.0%) from fish. Depending on the source of isolation, the strains showed specific antimicrobial resistance tendency. Strains isolated from shellfish showed 12 different multi-drug resistance patterns, whereas those from crustaceans showed high resistance (59%) to a single antimicrobial agent and those from fish showed a broad trend of multi-drug resistance to more than eight antimicrobials.

We isolated and characterized Escherichia coli (E. coli) from oyster Crassostrea gigas and inland pollution sources on Yongnam-Gwangdo island and neighboring areas on the southern coast of Korea in 2014-2015. A total of 222 strains of E. coli were isolated from 132 oysters and 88 samples from inland pollution sources. These 222 isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 24 antimicrobial agents, and 221 isolates were found resistant to the tested antibiotics. Of these 99.5% and 70.7% of the isolates showed very high resistance to rifampin and cephalothin respectively, followed by tobramycin (23.4%), streptomycin (20.2%), tetracycline (19.4%), cefepime (18.9%), ceftazidime (18.9%) and nalidixic acid (16.7%). The resistance rate of E. coli isolated from oysters was higher than that from inland pollution sources. In addition, multiple resistance to at least four antibiotics were present in 73.2% and 26.5% of E. coli isolates from oysters and inland pollution source samples, respectively.

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are more popular than reverse osmosis (RO) membranes as they can be operated at much lower pressures for applications in treatment of wastewater from industries like food processing and pharmaceutical as well as municipal sewage water. The separation mechanism in case of NF membranes is based on solution diffusion as well as sieving, for which the crosslinking density of the thin film of the composite membrane is less then RO membrane. Unlike ceramic membranes, membrane fouling is one of the chronic problems that occur during the nanofiltration process in polymeric membranes. Membrane cleaning is done to get rid of reversible as well as irreversible fouling by treatment with sodium hypochlorite. Compared to polymeric membranes, ceramic membranes show higher stability against these agents. In this review different types of ceramic membrane applied wastewater treatment by NF process are discussed.
