Adsorption experiments of Acid Yellow 14 dye using activated carbon were carried out as function of adsorbent dose, pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm model. The experimental data were best represented by Freundlich isotherm model. Base on the estimated Freundlich constant (1/n=0.129~0.212) and Langmuir separation factor ($R_L=0.202{\sim}0.243$), this process could be employed as effective treatment method. The heat of adsorption of Temkin isotherm model was 5.101~9.164 J/mol indicated that the adsorption process followed a physical adsorption. Adsorption kinetics experimental data were modeled using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. It was shown that pseudo-second-order kinetic equation could best describe the adsorption kinetics. Base on the negative Gibbs free energy (-4.81~-10.33 kJ/mol) and positive enthalpy (+78.59 kJ/mol) indicate that the adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic process.

Yellow sea bream, Branchiostegus japonicus, has been one of the widely consumed food fish in Jeju-Do, Korea. This study was attempted to establish the basic data for evaluating changes of taste compounds of the yellow sea bream during dehydration. The free amino acids were analysed by amino acid autoanalyser. The free amino acid composition of the raw yellow sea bream, abundant amino acids were lysine, alanine, threonine and arginine and then taurine, serine, proline, glycine, glutamic acid, leucine in order. Such amino acids as valine, methionine, tyrosine, isoleucine, phenylalanine were poor in content. The changes of free anino acid composition in the extract of the yellow sea bream during dehydration was not found. In the extract of dried product, lysine, alanine, glutamic acid and arginine were dominant holding $18.4\%,\;14.7\%\;8.0\%\;and\;7.3\%$ and $7.3\%$ of total amino acids respectively. The amount of total free amino acids of the yellow sea bream increased to more than 1.4 times during dehydration process, that of raw sample especially aspartic and glutamic acids increased to more than 2.9 times and 2. 1 times whereas taurine and histidine decreased ranging $40-50\%$ of the original content. It is presumed that the characteristic flavor of dried yellow sea bream was attributed to such amino acids like lysine and alanine known as sweet compounds, glutamic acid as meaty taste and TMAO known as plain sweet taste.

Antioxidant activity and antimutagenic activities with and without simulated gastric digestion of hot water extracts from white and yellow onions were investigated as compared to BHT and ascorbic acid as control Contents of total phenol and flavonoid in hot water extract of yellow onion were higher than those of white one. The scavenging activity of hydrogen peroxide of both extracts were increased in direct proportion to added their concentration. Antioxidant activity and reducing power of the hot water extract were elevated through analysis of $\beta-carotene-linoleate$ system and were lower than those of BHT and ascorbic acid. Antimutagenic activity after simulated gastric digestion of hot water extract of white and yellow onions was observed against mutagen IG and MNNG on Salmonella typhimurium TA80 and TA100. Extract of yellow onion was higher in antimutagenic activity than that of white one. In conclusion, these results suggested that phenol and flavonoid in hot water extract from yellow and white onions may play an important role in the antioxidant and antimutagenic activities.

As part of our research on phytochemicals that exert protective effects against diseases related to reactive nitrogen species, we have evaluated the scavenging activity of the yellow leaves of Ginkgo biloba on $ONOO^{-}$. The methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction obtained from yellow leaves of G. biloba evidenced a marked scavenging activity on authentic $ONOO^{-}$. Repeated column chromatography of the active ethyl acetate soluble fraction on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-18, resulted in the purification of 15 known compounds, including sciadopitysin (1), ginkgolide B (2), bilobalide (3), isoginkgetin (4), kaempferol (5), luteolin (6), protocatechuic acid (7), bilobetin (8), amentoflavone (9), ${\beta}-sitosterol$ glucopyranoside (10), kaempferol 3-O-rhamnopyranoside (11), kaempferol 3-O-glucopyranoside (12), kaempferol $3-O-[{6^{'}-O-p-coumaroyl-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranoside]$ (13), kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (14), and 6-hydroxykynurenic acid (15). Among the compounds isolated, flavonoids (5, 6 and 11-14), protocatechuic acid (7), and 6-hydroxykynurenic acid (15) all exhibited marked scavenging activities on authentic $ONOO^{-}$. The $IC_{50}$ values of 5-7, 11-14 and 15 were as follows: $2.86{\pm}0.70,\;2.30{\pm}0.04,\;2.85{\pm}0.10,\;5.60{\pm}0.47,\;4.16{\pm}1.65,\;2.47{\pm}0.15,\;3.02{\pm}0.48,\;and\;6.24{\pm}0.27\;{\mu}M$, respectively. DL-Penicillamine ($IC_{50}=4.98{\pm}0.27\;{\mu}M$) was utilized as a positive control. However, the other compounds (1-4, 8-10) exerted no effects against $ONOO^{-}$.

Changes of chemical and nutritional composition were investigated in low salt-dried Yellow corvenia muscle during frozen storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. Moisture contort of Yellow corvenia was not significantly changed until after 5 months frozen storage. Salinity was $0.28\%$ in fresh Yellow corvenia and $2.30\%$ in the salted sample. Acidity of the fish muscle was increased in excess of 5 months storage. TBA value was increased by a little amount untel 1 month of storage and significantly incraeased in 3 months of storage. Free fatty acid was increased during frozen storage with rapid increase up to 1 month storage. VBN was increased after 1month storage and amino type nitrogen was increased in 5 months of storage. Major free amino acids were glutamic acid, alanine, glycine and lysine, and composition ratio of most free amino acids were not changed untel after 5 months storage. Polyenoic acid contents were decreased after storage and major fatty acids were palmitic acid (16 : 0), stearic arid (18 : 0) and major fatty acids were palmitic acid (16 : 0), stearic acid (18 : 0) and docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6). From the results of chemical experiments, low salt-dried yellow corvenia would not be stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for more than 5 months.

We propose a novel stripping solution containing acids (HCl and HNO₃), an oxidant [(NH₄)₂S₂O₈], and complexing agents (NaCl and citric acid) to remove surface passivation layers from 14K gold alloys fabricated using an investment casting process. The optimized solution employing only HCl acid is determined by varying molar fractions of HCl and HNO₃ on 14K yellow gold samples. Stripping properties are also identified for red and white gold alloy samples under the optimized stripping conditions. The removal of passivation layers, weight loss, and microstructure evolution are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, a precision scale, and optical microscopy. The proposed stripping solution effectively removes passivation layers more rapidly than conventional cyanide stripping. Weight loss increases linearly for up to 5 min for all 14K gold alloys. Red gold exhibits the greatest weight loss, followed by yellow gold and white gold. The results of microstructural analysis reveal that the conformal stripping occurs according to time. These results imply that the proposed oxidative chloride stripping might replace conventional cyanide stripping.

Safflower, a draught and salt tolerant oil seed crop of Compositae family, has been cultivated around the world mainly as source of edible oils and dyes, where India, the USA, Mexico, Australia, and Ethiopia contributing about 85% of the production altogether. In this study we have characterized some selected morphological properties of safflower plant and determined the the total phenolic content (TPC) and fatty acid composition in seeds of 237 genetic resources. All the seed coats were white colored while the petals had red, yellow and white pigments. The yellow was the predominant petal color being recorded in 182 accessions followed by red occurring in 49 accessions. The petal color of 47 of the accessions changed with development while the 190 accession showed no change of color. The leaves are ovate to obovate, mostly with dentate (21 moderate and 205 weak) and few smooth (11) margins. The plant length, leaf length, and leaf width were ranged between 65.7 and 160.8 cm, 14.3 and 37.0 cm, and 3.3 and 12.1 cm, respectively. The TPC was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu method and fatty acid compositions were evaluated using gas chromatography. The TPC content ranged from 23.71 to 132.72 µgGAE/mg dried extract (DE). The seeds of safflower genetic resources accounted an average crude fat content of 26.25% (14.84 to 41.70%). The total fatty acid is mainly comprised of 71.72% linoleic acid (18:2) and 20.08% oleic acid (18:1) on average, the remaining palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0) and linolenic acid (18:3) contributing 5.84, 2.23 and 0.15 %, respectively. The fatty acid composition of safflower seeds has shown great variability, where oleic and linoleic acid have a wide range of variation, from 9.23 to 83.35% and from 10.46 to 82.62%, respectively

The isothermal adsorption, dynamic, and thermodynamic parameters of Acid black (AB) and Quinoline yellow (QY) adsorption by activated carbon were investigated using the initial concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH of the dyes as adsorption parameters. The adsorption equilibrium data fits the Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, and the calculated Freundlich separation factor values found that activated carbon can effectively remove AB and QY. Comparing the kinetic data showed that the pseudo second order model was within 10% error in the adsorption process. The intraparticle diffusion equation results were divided into two straight lines. Since the slope of the intraparticle diffusion line was smaller than the slope of the boundary layer diffusion line, it was confirmed that intraparticle diffusion was the rate-controlling step. The thermodynamic experiments indicated that the activation energies of AB and QY were 19.87 kJ mol^-1 and 14.17 kJ mol^-1, which corresponded with the physical adsorption process (5 ~ 40 kJ mol^-1). The adsorption reaction was spontaneous because the free energy change in the adsorption of AB and QY by activated carbon was negative from 298 to 318 K. As the temperature increased, the free energy value decreased resulting in higher spontaneity. Adsorption of AB and QY by activated carbon showed the highest adsorption removal rate at pH 3 due to the effect of anions generated by dissociation. The adsorption mechanism was electrostatic attraction.
