Antifungal activities of domestic plants were examined to develop natural anti-microbial agents, able to protect onion from spoiling microorganisms during their storage. A fungus was isolated from spoiling onion and identified to Penicillium sp. ON-211, based on the morphological characteristics of conidiophore and conidia. Chloroform extracts of Juniperus chinesis Linnaeus, Juniperus. chi. var. horizontalis, water extract of Thujs orientalis Linnaeus' seed and the n-hexane extract of Juniperus. chi. var. horizontalis N. showed remarkable antifungal activties against this fungus.

Formation of the complexes of barium, strontium and calcium ions with dibasic organic acid ions in dilute solution was studied at room temperature, utilizing the equilibrium exchange technique which involved the uses of radioactive alkaline earth metal ions and cation excbange resin. The organic acids used in this study were succinic and tartaric acids, and the solvents used were water, 20 % acetone-water and 20 % ethanol-water. The pH of the solutions was controlled to 7.2∼7.4, and the ionic strength of the solutions was kept at approximately 0.1. The experimental results indicated that the alkaline earths formed one-to-one complexes in solution with the dibasic acids examined, and that the relative stabilities of the complexes increased in the order: $Ba^{++}; succinic

Trace amount of cadmium was quantitatively extracted with 1% Aliquat 336-MIBK from 0.2M KSCN and 0.01M-HCl. Test tubes with a screw cap stopper were used for extraction in place of conventional separating funnels and organic solvents used were less dense than water. In this analysis, 22 times concentration effect was achieved with higher selectivity without interference. The detection limit of cadmium was 0.7ppb, therefore trace cadmium was easily analyzed by this method. The proposed method was applied to the determination of cadmium in blood serum and extraction mechanism was elucidated.

For determination of separated pesticides by using GC and HPLC, liquid-liquid extraction(LLE) and solid phase extraction(SPE) have been carried out to separate and concentrate the organophophorous pesticides such as Diazinon, Fenitrothion, Phosmet, Phosalon and EPN in environmental water samples. ln determination of pesticides by HPLC/UV, SPE has resulted in higher recovery and more precision than LLE, while in determination of pesticides by GC/FPD, vice versa. HPLC/UV after the pretreatment process of sample by solid phase extraction (SPE-HPLC/UV) has suggested the possibility of determination of pesticides ppb level. ln comparison of detection limit, both SPE-HPLC/UV and LLE-GC/FPD are reasonably suitable for analysis of residue pesticides. ln the respect of the rapidity and the solvent required, SPE-HPLC/UV method has proven to be superior to LLE-GC/FPD.

A pectic substance from citron peel was extracted with different methods to establish the optimum extraction conditions. The extraction yields of pectin with HCl, citrate and tartrate (concentration : 0.1 N, extraction ratio : 1 : 20) were 17.9%, 15.6% and 11.4%, respectively. Six times of 65% ethanol washing step was followed after first ethanol precipitation of acid extract for pure pectin. The degree of esterification (DE) of pectins was in the range of 43.0~47.6% and intrinsic viscosity was in the range of 0.94~2.63 (η$_{sp}$ /C (dL/g)). The sugar compositions such as rhamnose, xylose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, galactose and glucose were little different in three kinds of pectins except for the content of arabinose.

The monoamine oxidase (MAO, EC 1.4.3.4) plays a central role in the metabolism of many amines including the neurotransmitter monoamines. MAO is a flavoprotein found exclusively in the mitochondrial outer membrane, occuring in the MAO-A and MAO-B subtypes. MAO-A deaminates serotonin and noradrenaline much better than phenethylamine (PEA) or benzylamine (BA), and is preferentially inhibited by clorgyline, whereas MAO-B prefers PEA and BA as substrates and is preferentially inhibited by deprenyl. MAO inhibitors were among the first drugs used in the treatment of depression, and it is known to be the inhibition of MAO-A which is important for the antidepressant effect of MAO inhibitors. For the purpose of evaluating MAO inhibitory activities from natural resources, three kinds of edible mushrooms were screened by tracing the inhibitory activities against rat brain mitochondrial MAO-A, utilizing serotonin as a substrate and rat liver mitochondrial MAO-B utilizing benzylamine as a substrate. Among the tested mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidium and Lentinus edodes showed the weak inhibitory activities against MAO-B.

Lipases are well known as the enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds combining aliphatic chains and glycerol on mono-, di- and triglycerides. Their reactions are characterized by be-ing heterogeneous and catalyzing the water-insoluble substrates. This property has been one of the Hurdles which delayed the application of lipases in fats and oils industry, However, with the development of biological reaction system of which organic solvent is introduced in part or whole as the reaction media, enzymatic manipulation of fats and oils is attracting increasing attention from the academic and industrial sectors. Trials in two-phase system and reversed micellar system to produce fatty acids through enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides preyed to be efficient in respect to volumetric productivity, fat hydrolysis rate, product separation, etc. In organic solvent system lipases have been found to have the ability to catalyze aminolysis, transesterification, esterification, thiotransesterification and oximolysis that are virtually impossible to catalyze in water. The organic solvent system is being extensively used in interesterifying glycerides to produce a fat with the modified physical and chemical nature.

The capacity factor of fifteen phenol derivatives was determined with respect to the concentration of ${\alpha}$- or ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin [CD], the type as well as the content of organic solvent in the mobile phase, and the temperature. The effect of the inclusion complex formation between solutes and ${\alpha}$- or ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin on their retention and selectivity has been investigated. The inclusion effect of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin was the most effective in aqueous methanol, whereas only a poor effect was observed in aqueous tetrahydrofuran and aqueous acetonitrile. A plot of the reciprocal of the capacity factor against $[CD]_T$ gives a straight line and the dissociation constant, $K_D$ of the inclusion complex can be calculated from the slope. It was possible to estimate the $k_D$ values in 100% water from a linear plot of $pK_D$ vs. water content in the solution by extrapolation. The separation factor, ${\alpha}$, of two compounds has been found to be affected not only by the $[CD]_T$ but also by their $K_D$ values. Under optimum conditions, some mixtures of phenol derivatives were able to separate successfully.

In order to increase the surface area of electrodes for electrosorption, porous carbon electrodes were fabricated by a wet phase inversion method. A carbon slurry consisting of a mixture of activated carbon powder (ACP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent was cast directly on a graphite sheet. The cast film was then immersed in pure water for phase inversion. The physical and electrochemical properties of the electrodes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), porosimetry, and cyclic voltammetry. The SEM images verified that the pores of various sizes were formed uniformly on the electrode surface. The average pore sizes determined for the electrodes fabricated with various NMP contents ranged from 64.2 to 82.4 nm and the size increased as the NMP content increased. All of the voltammograms showed a typical behavior of charging and discharging characteristic at the electric double layer. The electrical capacitance ranged from 3.88 to $5.87F/cm^2$ depending on the NMP contents, and the electrical capacitance increased as the solvent content decreased. The experimental results showed that the solvent content is an important variable controlling pore size and ultimately the capacitance of the electrode.

The mort commonly available substrate material is glass in the display fibrication process. However, glass is not desirable due to its heaviness and fragility. Recently, plastics such polysulfone (PSF), polyethesulfone (PES), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and cyclic olefin polymers (COP) have been investigated to replace glass as a substrate material for display fibrication. Plastic substrates are advantageous in that they are lightweight, huh impart resistance, flexibility, and ability for roll to roll manufacturing process. But many plastics have poor chemical resistance in organic solvent. The chemica resistance is also lequired because they are exposed to solvents for various chemical treatments din the manufacturing process. So, we have an interest in the chemical modification of PSF to improve chemical resistance. We introduced crosslinkable imide moieties using chloromethylation method for the modification of PSF which could be overcome above shortcomings for display substrate based on plastic film. We prepared the cross-linked polysulfone films which were represented chemical resistance in HeOH, THF, DMSO and NMP. The thermal properties were measured by TGA, DSC and TMA. As the results, we have confirmed to enhance of the thermal property. They had low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) which decreased to 15% and had increased $T_g\;from\;180^{\circ}C\;to\;252^{\circ}C$. Cross-linked polysulfone films with imide side-chain had good optical properties and chemical resistance so that they could be used as flexible display substrate.
