This study was performed to develop and evaluate functional prepared with optimum mixing of mulberry leaf and fruit powder using response surface method (RSM). In order to develop the optimized functional Nokdujukr using RSM, mulberry leaf powder (MLP:X1) and mulberry fruit powder (MLF:X2) were set as independent variables, and pH (Y1), sweetness (Y2), viscosity (Y3), L (Y4), a (Y5), b (Y6), color (Y7), flavor (Y8), taste (Y9), overall quality (Y10), TPC (Y11), and DPPH radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$)(Y12) were set as dependent variables. The optimum mixing ratio of MLP and MLF was determined to be 3.88 g of MLP and 6 g of MLF. The values of color, flavor, taste, overall quality, TPC, and DPPH radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$) of optimized Nokdujuk were 5.20, 5.85, 6.00, 6.22, 330.99 mg TAE/g and 650.10 g/mL, respectively. In conclusion, this study has led to the development of an improved version of Nokdujuk that has antioxidative properties and good sensory evaluation and, will likely serve as a functional meal replacement for the busy modern world.

${\alpha}$-Galactosidase from Aspergillus niger as a possible enzyme for removal of flatulence factors in soybean foods was produced the highest in 120 hours in either Czapeck-Dox liquid medium or wheat bran solid medium. The most efficient carbon and nitrogen sources in Czapeck-Dox medium were raffinose and sodium nitrate, respectively, whereas the addition of the sources showed negative effects in wheat bran. pH optima for enzyme activity and stability were 4.0-5.0 and 3.5-6.5, respectively, and optimum temperature for stability was $40-50^{\circ}C$. Upon reaction on p-nitrophenyl-${\alpha}$-D-galactoside, Michaelis constant was 0.42 mM and maximum velocity was 152 ${\mu}moles$ substrate/minute/kg solid medium. Mercuric chloride acted as a strong noncompetitive inhibitor and p-chloromercuribenzoate, even in low concentration, acted as a competitive inhibitor. Crude ${\alpha}$-galactosidase hydrolyzed raffinose and stachyose completely, giving spots of monosaccharides only on thin-layer chromatogram.

The enzymatic properties of pectin esterase from Aspergillus sp. were studied. The optimum conditions for the enzyme reaction were pH 4.2 and temperature of $45^{\circ}C$. The crude enzyme was very stable at pH range of $2.2{\sim}4.6$, but about 20 percent of activity was lost at the range of pH $5.4{\sim}8.0$. The crude enzyme was very stable at $50^{\circ}C$ for one hour, however almost 100 percent of enzyme activity was lost at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The pectin esterase activity of crude enzyme was greatly inhibited by addition of sodium chloride at lower pH range. That is, the inhibition rates of enzyme activity at pH 3.0 and 4.0 were 47% and 28% in concentration of 1M sodium chloride, respectively. The enzyme activity was not affected by sodium chloride at pH 7.0 at different concentration of sodium chloride. Although the enzyme activity was not affected by addition of sucrose, it was slightly inhibited at higher concentration of sucrose.

Direct conversion of starchy materials to single cell protein of Sporobolomyces holsaticus FRI Y-5 was investigated. Effect of yeast extract concentration on its cell growth showed that it could utilize more of starch in the medium containing 2.5 g/l of yeast extract. In case of jar fermentor culture, the specific growth rate and cell yield of Sp. holsaticus on soluble starch were calculated to be $0.14\;hr^{-1}$ and 0.425, respectively and its maximum cell concentration was 13.4 g/l. After 80 hr of incubation time, 45.96% of starch was consumed and 45.1% of relative blue value was decreased. Reducing sugars in the starch medium seemed to increase from 4.06 g/l to 6.08 g/l and then to decrease. During fermentor culture, pH of medium was almost not changed in the range of $pH\;7.0{\pm}0.5$. The optimal temperature and pH of Sp. holsaticus amylase activity were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5, respectively. It was shown from the effect of Tapioca starch concentration on the cell growth that the optimal concentration of Tapioca starch for Sp. holsaticus was lower than that of soluble starch. FRI Y-5 cells settled much slower than Sp. holsaticus IFO 1032 cells and the viscosity vs cell concentration relationship was related to be linear.

As a part of investigation for utilizing of canned tuna processing by-products as a food resource, we examined the processing conditions and characteristics (extraction methods and ashing condition) of a calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone. Among ashing, autoclaving, and shaking methods for extraction of calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone, ashing method was superior to other methods on the aspect of fish odor, white index, and calcium recovery of calcium powder. Based on the results of white index and soluble calcium ratio, the optimal ashing temperature and time for preparation of a calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone was at $900{\circ}C for 15 min$. Cohesive ratio of calcium powder by shaking at pH 7.0 was increased up to 16 hrs, but after that almost unchanged. Cohesive ratio of calcium powder by shaking for 24 hrs was increased at neutral and alkaline conditions (pH 6-8 and pH 9-11), but almost unchanged at acidic conditions (pH 2-5). For the effective utilization of the calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone, a suitable treatment is needed for improvement of calcium solubility at neutral condition.

Gluconacetobacter hansenii TF-2, an isolate from black tea fungus, was statically cultivated to ferment cellulose gel from citrus juice. The juice prepared by press filtering of peeled citrus fruit contained 135.5 mg of total sugar/mL, 1.23% of total acid, and average pH of the juice was 3.98. The bacterium produced cellulose gel optimally on the surface of culture broth containing 17% of citrus juice and 10$^{\circ}$Brix of total sugar. The optimum temperature was 3$0^{\circ}C$ for producing acetic acid and gel formation. The bacterium could not produce acetic acid on gel formation at 4$0^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH was 3.0∼4.0 but was not significantly different between pH 3.0∼4.0. The cultivation for 18 days under optimal conditions produced gel as 14.2$\pm$0.6 mm of thickness and acids equivalent to 1.90$\pm$0.22% of acetic acid. The pH of culture broth was stabilized at 2.6∼2.8 during the cultivation. Remaining sugar content was 27.1$\pm$4.2 mg/mL of total sugar and 6.9 mg/mL of reducing sugar. The gel productivity was 137.8$\pm$9.7 g/L.

Purification of hyaluronic acid produced by Streptococcus equi was carried out to obtain clinical grade hyaluronic acid. The removal method of the bacteria was selected as filtration because filtration was the most effective method in removing impurities such as protein and nucleic acid of the fermentation broth. The removal efficiencies of protein and nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid solution were increased to 75% and 67%, respectively, by filtration with adding 0.6% of activatied carbon and 1.0% colite. Hyaluronic acid solution was precipitated by mixing with 2 volumes of ethanol. Effects of pH and conductivity on ethanol preciptation of hyaluronic acid were investigated. Protein and nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid were remained almost constant regardless of pH and conductivity, and the recovery of hyaluronic acid was optimum as about 85% at pH 7 and l00mS of conductivity Protein of hyaluronic acid was completly removed by three serial filtration and ethanol precipitation, however, nucleic acid was not removed. Hyaluronic acid solution was passed through a column of Duolite A7 to remove its nucleic acid, where 65% of nucleic acid was removed at pH 7 and 40mS of conductivity. The residual nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid solution was completly removed by treatment of 0.2% hydroxyapatite and the clinical grade hylauronic acid could be obtained.

This study was conducted to establish the optimal electrolyte and bismuth concentrations using bismuth film electrode in laboratory and to confirm the possibilities of using this operational condition for heavy metals monitoring in field. In lab test, heavy metal measurement was not accurate more than 600 ppb when heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Zn) range 100~1,000 ppb was measured with bismuth 2,000 ppb. So, bismuth and heavy metal was reacted about 1:1 with ASV method. In electrolyte test, 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 4.5), 0.1 M chloroacetate buffer (pH 2.0), 0.1 M HCl (pH 2.0), 0.1 M $HNO_3$ (pH 2.0) was tested. As a results, 0.1 M acetate buffer was most suitable in ASV measurement with bismuth film electrode. In field application, Pb, Cd and Zn was measured respectively 36~45 ppb, 84~91 ppb, 90~98 ppb when heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Zn) 100 ppb was spiked in field sample. These results were identified of matrix effect in field sample, So relationship between heavy metal measurement and matrix effects will be studied.
