The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Prunus mume supplementation on changes of energy substrate (glucose, FFA) and fatigue factors (lactate, ammonia, phosphorous) in the performance of exercise. The subjects of this study were 15 male university students. The exercise test was performed for 30 minutes at 75% $VO_2max$ on the treadmill and conducted both before and after administering Prunus mume for 6 weeks. Through Prunus mume supplementation, the accumulation of such fatigue factors as lactate, ammonia, and phosphorous along with concentration of glucuse decreased, but the concentration of FFA increased. From the study, it can be seen that Prunus mume plays a positive role for the use of energy substrates and accumulated fatigue factors.

Whey is by-product from natural cheese manufacturing process. For alcoholic fermentation, the initial lactose content and pH were adjusted to 4.5% and 4.2, respectively. Two strains of yeasts (Kluyveromyces marxianus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and seven strains of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus lactis, Leuconostoc cremoris, Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus) were examined for their alcohol production and sensory acceptability. Ethanol content in the whey fermented by lactose-fermenting K. marxianus was 2.8% at 4th day of incubation and that fermented by nonlactose fermenting S. cerevisiae was 0.2%. In case of mixed fermentation with yeasts and tactic acid bacteria (LAB being inoculated at 0 hr), the maximum ethanol production was obtained in the sample inoculated at 16 hr by s. cerevisiae, and in the sample inoculated at 24 hr by K. marxianus. The optimum temperature was $37^{\circ}C$ for alcohol production under static condition. The production of $CO_2$ gas was higher in the whey fermented by K. marxianus (1.88%) than by S. cerevisiae (0.04%). The titratable acidity of the whey gradually increased with fermentation time and its content was 0.39% at 4th day of fermentation by K. marxianus and 0.52% by S. cerevisiae. Among seven strain of latic acid bacteria tested, Lactococcus lactis exerted synergistic effect for acid production with K. marxianus. Therefore, overall results suggestd that the combination of Lactococcus lactis and K. marxianus was best choice in fermenting cheese whey for edible purpose.

To improve the storage method of Kimchi, optimum ripening Kimchi for an irradiation treatment(the time of around 0.3% in total acidity of Kimchi) was irradiated by doses of 1, 2, 3 kGy with Co-60 ${\gamma}-radiation$ and stored at $10^{\circ}C$. Total aerobic bacteria increased in the beginning of storage and then decrease slowly as the number of total lactic acid bacteria increased. Total lactic acid bacteria initially loaded by $10^8\;cells/ml$ in Kimchi shortly after irradiation reduced to $10^4-10^6\;cells/ml$ with 1-3 kGy doses and decreased gradually through the whole storage period. The initial load of yeast, $10^3\;cells/ml$, increased steadily during Kimchi storage and led to more than $10^4\;cells/ml$ after 30 days of storage. While it maintained tha the load in 2-3 kGy irradiated groups after 30 days of storage was less than that at the beginning of storage. pH, acidity and volatile acid in the nonirradiated group were 4.0, 0.7% and 0.06%, respectively at the 15th day after storage, but at the 30th day after storage, 2-3 kGy irradiated groups showed different values, 4.1, 0.58-0.63%, and 0.04-0.05%, respectively. The texture(firmness) of Kimchi reduced along with storage time, and 2 kGy irradiated group proved most favourable in its texture during storage. In the sensory evaluation of Kimchi, nonirradiated group was inedible after 15 days of storage, whereas 2-3 kGy irradiated groups could proling the storage-life of Kimchi over 2 times compared with the nonirradiated Kimchi, showing the good sensory quality even after 30 days of storage.

Aronia (Black chokeberry, Aronia melanocarpa) belonging to the Rosaceae family, is native to eastern North America. Aronia contain high levels of flavonoids, mostly anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, which are known as condensed tannins. The dominant proanthocyanidins in aronia are (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin. The concentration of proanthocyanidins in aronia is higher than in other berries, however due to the astringent taste it is not desirable for consumption. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of aronia on the reduction in tannins by yeast isolated from regional Jeotgal. We isolated strains of yeast with high ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity from Jeotgal, with the MTY2 strains exhibiting a reduction in final tannin concentration according to thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. MTY2 was confirmed as Kazachstania servazzii using an 18S rDNA sequence and named as K. servazzii MTY2. K. servazzii MTY2 showed most significant growth when K. servazzii MTY2 was cultured in a solution of 10% (w/v) glucose, 3% (w/v) tryptone and 0.1% (w/v) sodium chloride. According to the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, the (+) - catechin peak is present, but (-) - epicatechin peak was reduced at culture condition added with 10% glucose in medium.

The lignocellulytic enzymes including a-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), lignin peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.14), laccase (EC 1.10.3.2), xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8), ${\beta}$-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37), ${\beta}$-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) and cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) were extracted from spent mushroom compost (SMC) of Pleurotus eryngii. Different extraction buffers and conditions were tested for optimal recovery of the enzymes. The optimum extraction was shaking incubation (200 rpm) for 2 h at $4^{\circ}C$. ${\alpha}$-Amylase was extracted with the productivity range from 1.20 to 1.6 Unit/SMC g. Cellulase was recovered with the productivity range from 2.10 to 2.80 U/gf. ${\beta}$-glucosidase and ${\beta}$-xylosidase productivities showed lowest recovery producing 0.1 U/g and 0.02 U/g, respectively. The P. eryngii SMCs collected from three different mushroom farms showed different recovery on laccase and xylanse, cellulase. Furthermore, the water extracted SMC was compared to commercial enzymes for its industrial application in decolorization and cellulase activity.

The germination characteristics of Diplachne fusca (L.) P. Beauv. seeds were investigated under different seed storage conditions to find out reliable system for maintaining the seeds with high and uniform germination rate and thus for possible use of the seeds in herbicide screening with a continuous seed supply. When the seeds were stored under wet-low temperature($4^{\circ}C$) condition, the germination rate was 88% after 4-week-storage. The germination rate slightly declined after the storage for longer than 3 months. Dry seeds stored at room temperature exhibited very low germination rate. The wet-low temperature treatment was effective for inducing the germination of the seeds which had been stored under dry-room temperature condition for 4 months. The germination rate was 70% after 2-week- storage under the wet-low temperature condition. The germination rate was much higher under an alternate temperature condition than under a continuous temperature condition. The optimum temperature was 35/$25^{\circ}C$(14/10hrs). The seeds had a capability to germinate under NaCl-treated condition even at a concentration of 1.0%, whereas the germination of Echinochloa crus-galli seeds was completely inhibited by 0.5% NaCl. This result indicates that D. fusca has an advantage over E. crus-galli to survive in reclaimed 1and from the sea.

In this study, the effect of physico-chemical variables on sludge conditioning was determined to enhance dewaterability of effluent produced from the thermophilic anaerobic digestion of food waste. The gas production rate and methane content during the anaerobic digestion of food waste were $1.1m^3/kg$ VS and 63%, respectively, and the biodegradability of volatile solids was 87.5%. The concentrations of CODcr, TKN and TP of effluent from digestor were 18,500mg/L, 2,800mg/L, and 582mg/L, respectively. At the jar test to screen the flocculant for the dewatering of effluent from digestor, $FeCl_3$ and strong cationic polymer were effective on making flocs in the effluent. The condition of flocculation of effluent were 500mg/L of $FeCl_3$ and 50-100 mg/L of strong cationic polymer, respectively. As the result of measuring of dewaterability potential of effluent to determine the mixing ratio between $FeCl_3$ and polymer by capillary suction time(SCT), optimum condition was 500mg/L of $FeCl_3$ and 80mg/L of strong cationic polymer.

This study was performed to examine the availability of anaerobic digestion of the remainders caused by bacterial cellulose production process using food wastes. They maybe to be considered as others second pollution sources. Thus, this study was targeted to minimize content of organic material and to obtain more energy in those remnants using two-phase UASB reactor. The working volume of first hydrolysis fermentor was 35 L (total 55 L) and the second methane fermentor was 40 L (total 50 L). The organic loading rate of hydrolysis fermentor was 3 g-VS/L${\cdot}$day and 25,000 ppm of $COD_{cr}$ for methane fermentor. The hydraulic retention time was 18 days for hydrolysis reactor and 33 days for methane reactor. The hydrolysis reactor and methane reactor were performed at 35, 40$^{\circ}C$ respectively. For the efficient stable performance, the composition of organic wastes at each stage was as follow; Food waste with bacterial culture remnants (1 : 1), bacterial cellulose remnants, bacterial cellulose culture remnants with food wastes saccharified solids (1 : 1). When the anaerobic digestion was performed stably at each stage, the COD removal efficiency was 88, 90, 91 % respectively. At this time, methane production rate was 0.26, 0.34, $0.32m^3\;CH_4/kg-COD_{remove}$. As well as the values of anaerobic digestion at third stage were more higher than values of anaerobic digestion using food wastes. It is clearly to say that the food wastes zero-emission system constructed in our lab is more efficient way to treat and reclaim food wastes.

국내 염색가공업에 종사하는 중소기업은 약 1,700여개 업체로써, 평균 50억/년 매출을 하고 있으며, 생산의 대부분을 임가공에만 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이들 염색가공업체들은 섬유제품의 품질 향상 등을 위해 전처리, 염색, 가공이라는 섬유습식공정을 행하게 되는데 그 공정이 따로 분리되어 있어 임가공 업체 입장에서는 시간과 비용 차원에서 비효율적인 면이 존재하여 왔다. 따라서 공정합리화, 원가합리화를 위해 따로 분리되어 있는 위 공정을 통합하려는 시도를 많이 했지만 전처리/염색 공정의 통합에서 일부 성과가 있었을 뿐 효과면에서는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 가공이란 공정은 그사용 약제의 특수성에 따라 기존 Padding-Drying-Curing이라는 3 step process를 반드시 필요로 하고 있기 때문에 가공 공정의 통합은 시도조차 이루어지지 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 염색공정과 가공공정의 통합을 시도하기 위해서는 관련 약제 개발이 출발이라 할 수 있으며 그 첫 대상은 염색 공정의 소핑과 가공공정의 유연처리를 동시에 행할 수 있는 소핑유연제로 선정하려 한다. 즉 셀룰로오스계 섬유의 반응성 염색 후 소핑 공정에서 일액형 소핑유연제, 한가지 제품만을 간편하게 사용해도 소핑효과와 유연효과를 동시에 얻어 후속 유연처리 공정을 생략할 수 있는 것이다. 그렇게 되면 시간적으로나 비용적으로 큰 절감 효과를 가져와 임가공 업체의 부담을 덜어 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 공정 통합을 통해 배출되는 폐수의 양도 상당량 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구 결과, 폴리옥시에틸렌 트리데실 에테르 타입의 계면활성제와 개질된 디메틸폴리실록산 계열의 실리콘 오일, 그리고 이들의 상용성을 확보하기 위한 특수 용제 및 첨가제를 최적의 비율로 배합하여 안정한 일액형 복합 소핑유연제를 제조할 수 있었다. 제조된 소핑유연제는 유백색 반투명 액상의 외관을 가지며 pH(10%solution)는 $7{\pm}1$, 고형분은 $13.5{\pm}0.5%$이었다. 이 소핑유연제의 성능 평가결과, 소핑력은 기존의 소핑제와 동등 수준으로 세탁견뢰도 4급이상의 성능을 보였고, 유연성 면에서도 기존의 유연제와 동등 수준으로 평가되었다. 이로써 기존의 분리된 소핑 공정과 유연공정을 개발된 제품을 이용하여 통합할 수 있어 염색현장의 비용절감, 공정단축의 효과를 기대할 수 있게 되었다.
