Physical properties and compositions of dietary fiber sources (DFS) from peels of Asian pear fruit, Hosui, Niitaka and Chuwhangbae, were examined at different growth stages, young, unripe, and ripe fruits, to investigate their use as functional ingredients. Total dietary fiber (TDF) contents of DFS prepared from peels of three cultivars at three stages were high, 74.00-88.38%, with most being insoluble dietary fiber. Total phenolic compound contents of DFS were 1.64-4.46mg/g, with those of Niitaka and Chuwhangbae increasing with growth stages. Density of DFS from young fruit was significantly lower than those from unripe and ripe fruits (p<0.05), because particle size of DFS increased with growth stages within cultivars. Water-holding capacity (WHC) and oil absorption were 3.11-6.03g water/g solid and 1.98-2.57g oil/g sample, respectively. Young fruits, which showed lowest WHC value, had highest oil absorption value. Particle size of DFS had significant correlation with density, WHC, and oil absorption (p<0.05). Physical properties of DFS were mainly influenced by cellulose and uronic acid.

An analytical method for determining phenol considered priority pollutants of the US EPA and precursor of toxic phenolic compounds by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high performance liquid chromatographic systems (HPLC) equipped with fluorescence and mass selective detectors have been developed. The SPE process for sample preconcentration was performed on a commercially available Oasis HLB cartridge packed with polymeric sorbents. The effect of pH, elution solvent, and elution volume on the recoveries of the analytes were investigated with HPLC/FLD. Average recovery of >87.0% was achieved with 60 mg sorbents using 5 mL of methanol as an elution solvent at pH=3.

The heavy use of petroleum products in modern livings has brought ubiquitous environmental contaminants of aromatic compounds, which persist in aquatic and geo-environment without the substantial degradation. The persistence and accumulation of the aromatic compounds, which include xylene, phenol, toluene, phthalate, and so on are known to cause serious problems in our environments. Some of soil and aquatic microorganisms facilitate their growth by degrading aromatic compounds and utilizing degrading products as growth substrates, the biodegradation helps the reentry of carbons of aromatic compounds, preventing their accumulation in our environments. The metabolic studies on the degradation of aromatic compounds by microoganlsms were extensively carried out along with their genetic studies. A Rhodococcus sp. isolated in activated sludges has shown the excellent ability to grow on phenol as a sole carbon source. In the present study investigated a gene encoding phenol-degrading enzymes from a Rhodococcus sp.

The present study was conducted to evaluate relationship between nonylphenol uptake rate and clearance rate of Ruditapes philippinarum, Corbicula japonica and Mytilus edulis. Variation of the temperature and body size of the bivalves was used to modulate clearance rate and nonylphenol uptake rate in this experiment. Clearance rate and nonylphenol uptake rate experiments were determined for two different size classes of the bivalves (R. philippinarum: 0.35, 0.73 g, C. japonica : 0.047, 0.1000g, M. edulis: 0.30, 0.37 g; mean flesh dry weight) and three different temperature regime (5, 13 and $18^{\circ}C$). Weight-specific clearance rate in all animal size and temperature ranges increased in the order of R. philippinarum, C. japonica and M. edulis. The weight-specific nonylphenol uptake rate did not show specific trend among species. The clearance rate and nonylphenol uptake rate generally decreased with animal size and increased with water temperature. For all three species nonylphenol uptake rate had a strong relationship with clearance rate. For a given clearance rate ranges, the nonylphenol uptake rate was in the order of R. philippinarum > C. japonica > M. edulis. The results suggest that water ventilation capacity of filter-feeding organisms is an important physiological factor controlling uptake rate of dissolved nonylphenol.

Phenolic compounds, which are products of secondary metabolism, have been demonstrated to be widespread growth substances in plants. The objectives of this study were to identify the phenolic compounds in common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior) by HPLC and to evaluate their effects on germination and seedling growth of three weed species. Under controlled conditions in Petri dishes at $25^{\circ}C$, $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$ M solutions of phenolic compounds were evaluated in seed germination tests. Four phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, O-coumaric acid, ${\rho}$-coumaric acid and ferulic acid) in common ragweed plant were identified and their concentration was increased from the stage before flowering through full flowering stage. Treatment of O- and ${\rho}$-coumaric acids delayed the seed germination of Digitalia ciliaris, while the treatment of caffeic acid delayed the seed germination of Echinochloa crus-galli. In time to 50% germination ($T_{50}$), phenolic compounds at $10^{-4}$ M promoted in Cyperus microiria and E. crus-galli but the level of $10^{-3}$ M delayed the $T_{50}$ of those weeds. The O-coumaric acid inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of the tested weeds and especially it perfectly inhibited the root growth of E. crus-galli.

In this study, we investigated the ozone nanobubble process in which nanobubble and ultrasonic cavitation were applied simultaneously to improve the dissolution and self-decomposition of ozone. To confirm the organic decomposition efficiency of the process, a 200 mm × 200 mm × 300 mm scale reactor was designed and phenol decomposition experiments were conducted. The use of nanobubble was 2.07 times higher than the conventional ozone aeration in the 60 minutes reaction and effectively improved the dissolution efficiency of ozone. Ultrasonic irradiation increased phenol degradation by 36% with nanobubbles, and dissolved ozone concentration was lowered due to the promotion of ozone self-decomposition. The higher the ultrasonic power was, the higher the phenol degradation efficiency. The decomposition efficiency of phenol was the highest at 132 kHz. The ozone nanobubble process showed better decomposition efficiency at high pH like conventional ozone processes but achieved 100% decomposition of phenol after 60 minutes reaction even at neutral conditions. The effect by pH was less than that of the conventional ozone process because of self-decomposition promotion. To confirm the change in bubble properties by ultrasonic irradiation, a Zetasizer was used to measure the bubbles' size and zeta potential analysis. Ultrasonic irradiation reduced the average size of the bubbles by 11% and strengthened the negative charge of the bubble surface, positively affecting the gas transfer of the ozone nanobubble and the efficiency of the radical production.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of Rosa rugosa extract and to identify which of its components are responsible for these properties. Reactive oxygen species play an important role in diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease as a consequence of increased metabolic rates, gene mutations, and relative hypoxia. Therefore, the antioxidant effect of R. rugosa extract was confirmed by HPLC, HPLC-MS/MS, the total polyphenol content, the total flavonoid content, and the radical scavenging activity. HPLC and HPLC-MS/MS analyses were conducted to identify and quantify the main components of the R. rugosa extract. Gallic acid and epigallocatechin gallate were identified as the main components, with 17.4 and 4.35 mg/g dry matter (DM), respectively. The antioxidant activity of R. rugosa extract was evaluated based on its total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and radical scavenging activity, which were 72.3 mg gallic acid equivalent/g DM, 11.2 mg quercetin equivalent/g DM, and 87.9%, respectively. The radical scavenging activities of the main components, gallic acid and epigallocatechin gallate, were 80.5% and 89.7%, respectively. Therefore, R. rugosa has a high polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, and it can be used as a natural antioxidant in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

The oxidation stability of samples prepared by blending samples reported previously with diesel oil and diesel oil with additives(alkyl benzene and phenolic type of materials), was tested to study the mechanism of thermal oxidation stability of the regenerated lubricating oils. It was found that the improvement of thermal oxidation stability of such oils was caused by the formation of aromatic compounds, especially phenolic type of organic materials.
