Using milled barley of four varieties Olbori, Youngsan-bori, Sacheon 6, and Suwon 228, the barley proteins were fractionated by the Osborne method and the modified Osborne method. Two fractionation methods were compared. There was a steady increase in the amount of nitrogen extracted as NaCl concentration increased, reaching a maximum at 0.5M NaCl and the extraction of nitrogen by 0.5M NaCl reached a maximum at $22^{\circ}C$. Alcohol-soluble fraction was least extracted by 70% (v/v) ethanol at $4^{\circ}C$ and most by sequential extraction with 50% (v/v) propan-1-ol alone followed by 50% (v/v) propan-1-ol plus 3% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol. Nitrogen was least extracted between pH 4 and 6 and most extracted at higher pH than 10. The modified Osborne fractionation of the protein complex in the four barleys showed that the salt-soluble nitrogen accounted for 21,4% to 24.1%, hordein-I varied from 30.4% to 43.4%, hordein-II varied widely from 9.3% to 19.5% and borate buffer-soluble glutelin content ranged from 17.1% to 23.7%.

We scaled up a covalent immobilization system of urokinase to the activated Sepharose and used it repeatedly to cleave a fusion protein consisting of human growth hormone and GST fragment. After scale up from 6 ml to 250 ml, the column system still demonstrated basically the same performance in terms of urokinase immobilization and fusion protein cleavage. When the column was washed with 6M guanidine HCl after the cleavage reaction. the immobilized urokinase showed no activity probably because it was fully unfolded. However. as the denaturant was gradually removed from the column the immobilized urokinase fully regained its bioactivity. which indicated it was properly refolded into its native conformation as covalently attached to the solid matrix. After 20 cycles of this 'solid-phase unfolding/refolding', the immobilized urokinase maintained approx. 80% of the initial bioactivity. This method provides an efficient protocol to apply the solid-phase refolding technique to improve the longevity of immobilized enzyme columns.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Garaedduk with regard to the amount of added whole soybean curd (Chun-Tofu). Whole soybean curd was added in amounts of 0, 3, 6 and 9%. Whole soybean curd Topokki dduk was stored at room temperature for 48 hours. The moisture contents had no significant difference for increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. The L value and b values of Garaedduk increased significantly with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Texture characteristics of Garaedduk measured with a texture analyzer revealed that hardness and cohesiveness decreased significantly for different amounts of whole soybean curd, and hardness increased significantly and cohesiveness and chewiness decreased with increase of storage time. As for sensory characteristics, samples with 9% added whole soybean curd rated higher in overall acceptability compared with other samples. In regard to cooking properties, water absorption increased and solid contents decreased with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Therefore, Garaedduk containing 9% whole soybean curd was most preferable.

In this study it was focused that if the chrome could be removed in the shaving dust, the reusable protein resource could be recycled from the shaving dust. As the chrome forms a Cr-collagenate by cross linking of collagen in the shaving dust, the dust was steeped for swelling and plumping by $Ca(OH)_2$ solution and then chromium in dust was resolved out by $H_2SO_4$ solution in the first stage process. In the second stage one, dust was swelled and plumped by NaOH solution and then the chromium in dust was oxygenated to a hexavalent chrome, which has high solubility in $H_2O_2$ solution. And then the chromium was removed byt he steeping of $H_2SO_4$ solution as the last process. The first stage process was consisted of the sequential steeping of 3%-$Ca(OH)_2$ and $0.8%-H_2SO_4$. In the second stage the total chrome was effectively removed by the sequential steeping of 0.1%-NaOH, $3%-H_2O_2$ and $1%-H_2SO_4$. In the completely dechromated dust, the humidity was measured as 10.68% and the crude protein was contained by 79.81%. Steeping solutions were reused 3 times for chrome removal process, the chrome was entirely removed in shaving dust.

As a basic study to develop low-salted fermented anchovy, rates of salt penetration into anchovy muscle, patterns of protein degradation and changes in water activity and transfer was analyzed after brining at various salt (NaCl) concentration. The salt penetration curves followed first order. kinetics. The rate constant (k) increased from 0.018 (10% NaCl solution) to 0.051 (saturated). Water activity was reduced from 0.93 (10% NaCl solution) to 0.77 (saturated). Protein degradation during brining was Somewhat occurred in 10% NaCl solution but not in satutrated solution. Water content of anchovy muscle were 74% (w/w), 65% and 58% when 10%, 20% and saturated NaCl solution were used, respectively. This result indicated that as NaCl content of brining solution was increased, the amount of water transfer also occurred. Weight of anchovy increased at 10% NaCl solution and decreased at 20% and saturated NaCl solution. The loss of anchovy solid mash during brining was calculated as 30% after 36 hr brining.

Stage 1 sleep provides important information regarding interpretation of nocturnal polysomnography, particularly sleep onset. It is a short transition period from wakeful consciousness to sleep. Lack of prominent sleep events characterizing stage 1 sleep is a major obstacle in automatic sleep stage scoring. In this study, we attempted to utilize simultaneous EEC and EOG processing and analyses to detect stage 1 sleep automatically. Relative powers of the alpha waves and the theta waves were calculated from spectral estimation. Either the relative power of alpha waves less than 50％ or the relative power of theta waves more than 23％ was regarded as stage 1 sleep. SEM (slow eye movement) was defined as the duration of both eye movement ranging from 1.5 to 4 seconds and regarded also as stage 1 sleep. If one of these three criteria was met, the epoch was regarded as stage 1 sleep. Results f ere compared to the manual rating results done by two polysomnography experts. Total of 169 epochs was analyzed. Agreement rate for stage 1 sleep between automatic detection and manual scoring was 79.3％ and Cohen's Kappa was 0.586 (p＜0.01). A significant portion (32％) of automatically detected stage 1 sleep included SEM. Generally, digitally-scored sleep s1aging shows the accuracy up to 70％. Considering potential difficulties in stage 1 sleep scoring, the accuracy of 79.3％ in this study seems to be robust enough. Simultaneous analysis of EOG provides differential value to the present study from previous oneswhich mainly depended on EEG analysis. The issue of close relationship between SEM and stage 1 sleep raised by Kinnariet at. remains to be a valid one in this study.

Effect of storage temperature fluctuation on quality of frozen breaded raw shrimp was studied. Storage experiments were undertaken as follows; First, after storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 20 days or 40 days, storage temperature of materials were raised to $-15^{\circ}C\;or\;15^{\circ}C$, and then stored at these temperatures, And second, by repeating for 5, 10 and 15 times by 3 conditions ($-20{\rightarrow}-15^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}-20^{\circ}C,\;-20{\rightarrow}-10^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}-20^{\circ}C\;-20{\rightarrow}-5^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}-20^{\circ}C$) with temperature fluctuation during storage. Quality changes were measured by determining extractability of salt-soluble protein, volatile basic nitrogen, thiobar-bituric acid, pH and microbiological changes at regular intervals. Rise in storage temperature from $-20^{\circ}C\;to\;-15^{\circ}C$ had not caused significant change on it's quality, but rise up to $-5^{\circ}C$ caused some change in quality without relationship with storage period before temperature rise. Fluctuation of storage temperature from $-20^{\circ}C\;to\;-15^{\circ}C$ of frozen breaded raw shrimp did not cause noticeable changes on it's quality. But temperature fluctuation from $-20^{\circ}C\;to\;-10^{\circ}C\;or\;-5^{\circ}C$ caused remarkable changes of it's quality, according to the increase of fluctuation times and temperatures.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the difference of seed vigor according to seed size, and the physiological aspects and physico-chemical phenomena related with seed vigor in soybean cultivars. Portion of seed coat and radicle to entire seed was much higher in cultivars with small seed than with large. Seed coat rate ranged 7.9% to 9.9%, and radicle 2.5% to 3.3% in small seed group, Whereas in large seed, seed coat rate did 5.5-6.4% and radicle, 1.5 to 2.1%. After accelerated aging treatment, there are significant difference in germination ability between seed size. The germination rate after aging ranged 47 to 80% in cultivars with small seed, but in large seed, only 14 to 24%. After seed was carried out dehydration in incubator at 25 after soaking for 6 hours, the moisture content of seed in drying for 12 hour was 25.5% in small seed, while it was 51% in large seed. Electrical conductivity, leaching soluble nitrogen and sugar content were higher in large seed cultivars. Besides, cotyledon damage after soaking was occurred frequently in large seed cultivars, and seed vigor within same cultivars was higher in small seed than large.
