Rubus coreanus is known as Korean black raspberry, native to Korea, Japan, and China. Preliminary studies evaluating their potential for cancer treatment in mammalian test systems are ongoing. In recent years, interest has been renewed due to their high levels of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins in black raspberry are important due to their potential health benefits as dietary antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compound, and as a chemopreventive agent. In the present study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae BA29 was isolated from black raspberry fruit and fruit juice as a biogenic amine non-producing strain for manufacturing of black raspberry wine, after which we investigated its characteristics: biogenic amine-producing ability, cell growth ability, alcohol-fermentation ability, and resistance to alcohol, glucose, and sulfur dioxide. Based on preliminary experiments, we optimized culture medium compositions for improving dried cell weight of S. cerevisiae BA29 by response surface methodology (RSM) as a statistical method. Design for RSM used a central composite design, and molasses with the industrial applicability was used as a carbon source. Through statistical analysis, we obtained optimum values as follows: molasses 200 g/L, peptone 30 g/L, and yeast extract 40 g/L. For the model verification, we confirmed about 3-fold improvement of dried cell weight from 6.39 to 20.9167 g/L compared to basal yeast peptone dextrose medium. Finally, we manufactured black raspberry wine using S. cerevisiae BA29 and produced alcohol of 20.33%. In conclusion, S. cerevisiae isolated from black raspberry fruit and juices has a great potential in the fermentation of black raspberry wine.

In the course of our investigation for chemical constituents in the ethyl acetate layer of Korean black raspberry wine, five compounds were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The isolated compounds were identified as ethyl succinate (1), vanillic acid (2), ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (3), furan-2-ol (4), and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2(S)-ol (5) based on the spectroscopic data of electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The presence of 2 in Korean black raspberry has previously reported. However, 1 and 3-5 in Korean black raspberry and its wine were isolated for the first time.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the amount of water added prior to fermentation on the quality of bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miq.) wine produced. Water was added at 0-fold (A), 1-fold (B), 2-fold (C), 3-fold (D), and 4-fold (E) of the fresh bokbunja weight (w/w), prior to fermentation. Although the amount of bokbunja wine obtained after fermentation increased in proportion to the amount of water added prior to fermentation, the total acidity of the bokbunja wine, adjusted for the weight of bokbunja used in the fermentation process, increased. Moreover, the total phenol and flavonoid content (mg) per weight (g) of bokbunja, in (B), (C), (D), and (E) were 2.86-4.42 and 2.58-3.01 times higher, respectively, than those in (A). These data suggest that different types of bokbunja wines can be produced and different contents of total phenol can be obtained by simply changing the amount of water added prior to fermentation.

This study aimed to develop eel dipping sauce adding bokbunja(Rub coreanus Miquel) vinegar and investigated the physicochemical and quality properties of eel dipping sauce for optimization. To accomplish the objective, eel dipping sauce was created by adding bokbunja vinegar. The findings are as follows. Among the composition, moisture and crude fiber content increased as more bokbunja vinegar was added. As for crude protein and crude ash, however, their content decreased as more bokbunja vinegar was added. In terms of crude fat, there was no difference between the control group and addition group. As for pH, the content decreased as more bokbunja vinegar was added. Also. the following properties declined as more bokbunja vinegar was added: titratable acidity; sugar content; salinity; viscosity. In terms of chromaticity, however, the brightness(L), redness(a), and yellowness(b) all increased. The overall acceptability was as follows: 0% < 5% < 10% < 20% < 15% Therefore, the proper content of bokbunja vinegar to add in eel dipping sauce is approximately 15~20%.

Silk fibroin is a structural protein from Bombyx mori and can be sulfated to provide biofunctional polypeptides showing antiviral and anticoagulating activities. However, the sulfated fibroins have not been characterized enough to present their compositions and structures. In this report, sulfation reaction was investigated by varying the reaction temperature and sulfuric acid concentration and analysis of the resulting peptides were carried out. The degree of sulfation was proportion to sulfuric acid concentration but the maximum product yield was obtained at $60^{\circ}C$ and 5% of sulfuric acid concentration. FT-IR spectrum, UV absorption and NMR spectrum support that o-sulfate ester was formed at the hydroxyl group of serine and tyrosine residues. Size exclusion chromatography identified that sulfated fibroin was composed of a highly hydrolyzed polypeptide mixtures and peptides of relatively higher molecular weight.

In spite of diverse applications of chitin derivatives, commercial use of chitin has been limited due to highly resistance to chemicals and the absense of proper solvents. One of methods to reduce such high resistance to chemicals is to make microcrystalline chitin(MCC) by hydrolysis of chitin. Presently, MCC is produced mainly by using high concentration of acid, but this treatment requires an extensive posttreatment to remove or recover acid. An alternative process for MCC production was developed by using dilute hydrochloric acid with ultrasound and hydrogen peroxide. The major parameters for this process were found to be acid concentration, swelling time and temperature, and irradiation time and frequency of ultrasound. The effects of these parameters on MCC molecular weight were investigated. The molecular weight of MCC produced at a typical condition was around 30,000 which was approximately 1/8 of that of chitin and approached to a constant value. This phenomenon was explained by introducing the model of molecular arrangement of cellulose. SEM analysis showed that both chitin and MCC had a fibrous shaped morphology and the fibril size of MCC was much smaller than that of chitin.

Polyamide 12 (PA12) oligomers (oPA1) were prepared by dispersion polymerization of ${\omega}$-amino carboxylic acid and dibasic acid in a dispersion medium, thermally stable hydrocarbon liquid paraffin, YK-D130 (a step polymerization). The molecular weight and various properties of other oligomeric PAs (oPA2) obtained by bulk polymerization without the medium were compared with those of oPA1s. The oPA1s showed lighter white color and narrower molecular weight distribution than oPA2s at the same molecular weight. Moreover elastomeric poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA)s were synthesized with oPA1 and oPA2 as hard segments and poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) as a soft segment. The molecular weight distribution, and mechanical property of the PEBA originated from the both oligomeric PAs were characterized.

Polypyrrole is a typical electrical conducting polymer, which has an excellent charge transport property. Cyclodextrins are a group of toxic-free and cyclic oligosaccharide molecules, capable of capturing low molecular weight chemicals. Considering these advantages, hybrid materials of polypyrrole and cyclodextrin can be used to detect hazardous compounds. Cyclodextrin molecules can accommodate toxic chemicals by the formation of host-guest complexes and generate electric signals, which are effectively delivered by polypyrrole backbone. In this study, the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid material was prepared using a facile wet method and included into a hydrogel. Subsequently, it was applied to a simple sensor system with a gold-patterned electrode for the detection of potentially hazardous material, methyl paraben. Compared with pristine polypyrrole, it was found that the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid showed an improved performance. This study can be an example of using environmentally benign conducting polymer/cyclodextrin hybrids as sensing media.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding various amounts of ingredients on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Bokbunja-jelly. The proximate composition of Bokbunja-jelly was 19.0% for the moisture and 0.8% for the crude protein. The Hunter L-values of Bokbunja-jelly prepared by adding 10 g RME or 120 g sucrose were higher than that of Bokbunja-jelly prepared by adding 20 g RME or 100 g sucrose. The Hunter b-values of Bokbunja-jelly prepared by adding 20 g RME or 120 g sucrose was higher than that of Bokbunja-jelly prepared by adding 10 g RME or 120 g sucrose. The hardness and chewiness were increased with decreasing Rubus coreanus Miquel extracts. According to the results of the sensory evaluation, no significant differences in flavor, sweetness, hardness, elasticity and overall qualities were found. According to the results of physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation, the optimal recipe for preparation of Bokbunja-jelly was determined to be 240 g water, 120 g sugar, 110 g glucose syrup, 4 g agar, 20 g Rubus coreanus Miquel extracts and 0.3 g Rubus coreanus Miquel flavor.
