A new chiral derivatization agent with sugar moiety, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GATC) was synthesized. Several ${\beta}-blockers$ were investigated for the possible separation of the enantiomers by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization with this new chiral derivatization agent (GATC). GATC was reacted readily with ${\beta}-blockers$ at room temperature and the reaction mixture could directly be injected into the HPLC system. The corresponding diastereomers were well resolved on an ODS column with acetonitrile-ammonium acetate buffer as a mobile phase and monitored at UV 254 nm. The optimization of the derivatization procedure (concentration of GATC, reaction temperature and time) and HPLC conditions (pH and ionic strength of mobile phase) were investigated and compared with GITC.

Cabbage contained high peroxidase activity among tested plant sources. The cabbage peroxi-dase can replace horseradish peroxidase to assay glucose with glucose oxidase. The amount of glucose can be determined quantitatively by glucose oxidase-cabbage peroxidase. The opti-mum pH and temperature for enzymatic glucose determination by glucose oxidase-cabbage peroxidase were 6.0 and 35-45$^{\circ}C$ respectively. The glucose assay was inhibited by addition of various metal salts such as mercuric chloride lead acetate silver nitrate ammonium molyb-date sodium tunstate and cupric sulfate. The relationship between absorbance and amount of glucose was linear up to 8.33 mM glucose in the assay mixture under the assay conditions.

The synthesis of common skeleton of podosporin A and aureol was studied through cationic olefin cyclization as a key step. The generation of thermodynamic silyl enol ether or enol acetate under known conditions gave regioselectivity of 88:12. The enolate alkylation of 2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone with 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl bromide at the more substituted site via lithium enolate gave poor yield. In this case an organozincate or an ammonium enolate also proved to be ineffective or not practical in terms of yield. Side chain elongation of the substituted cyclohexanone 13 through Grignard reaction, Wittig reaction, or Shappiro reaction did not proceed because of steric hindrance and side reactions. However, Stille coupling reaction via enol triflate produced the desired product 18 in high yield. The advanced intermediate 22, which was efficiently synthesized from 18, produced 24 instead of the desired product under a cationic olefin cyclization condition, indicating that the cyclization occurred in a stepwise mannervia the organomercury intermediate 23.

Exchangeable cations are often overestimated especially in salt-affected soils due to the presence of high levels of soluble ions in soil solution. Thus, quantitative analysis of the soil exchangeable cation based on ammonium acetate extraction method {(Exch. Cation)$_{total}$} requires additional process to remove the free ions (pre-washing) in soil with distilled water or alcohol {(Exch. Cation)$_{pw}$} or subtraction of the soluble ion contents from the total exchangeable cations {(Exch. Cation)$_{ref}$}. In this research, we compared the three different methods for the determination of exchangeable cations in soils affected by different types of salt accumulation such as the soils from upland, plastic film house, and reclaimed tidal land. In upland soils, non-saline and non-sodic soils, the regular ammonium acetate extraction method did not have any problem to determine the content of exchangeable cations without any additional process such as the pre-washing method or the subtraction method. However, the contents of exchangeable cations in the salt-affected soils might be determined better with the pre-washing method for the plastic film house soils and with the subtraction method for the reclaimed tidal land soils containing high Na.

By using the ${\beta}$-tyrosinase of Citrobacter freundii KCT2006, which was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) was synthesized efficiently from pyrocatechol, sodium pyruvate, and ammonium acetate. Optimal temperature and pH for the reaction were determined to be about 18$^{\circ}C$ and 8.5, respectively. The effects of substrate concentrations were also examined at different concentrations of ammonium acetate, sodium pyruvate, and pyrocatechol. Ammoniumacetate and sodium pyruvate increased the reaction rate until the concentrations reached to 300mM and 50mM, respectively. Although pyrocatechol showed the optimal concentration at 20mM, it was controlled between 20mM and 50mM to avoid the depletion of substrate during the enzymatic synthesis. Meanwhile the synthetic rate was improved about 20% when ethanol was included in the reaction solution. Based on above results, a reaction medium for the productin of L-DOPA was prepared and incubated with 1 unit/ml of ${\beta}$-tyrosinase. Pyrocatechol and sodium pyruvate was added to the reaction solutin intermittently to avoid the substrate depletion during the enzymatic reaction. After 24 hour of reaction, 31.6g/l of L-DOPA was accumulated in the reaction solution as soluble and precipitated ones and the conversion yield was about 85.2%.

A strain of yeast (Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120) was cultivated by using the soybean whey with supplement of blackstrap molasses (4%) and ammonium acetate (0.5%). By the cultivation continued for 48 hours, 8.1g of dry cell was produced. The cell was consisted of carbohydrate 39.3%, protein 40.5%, lipid 3.9%, nucleic acid 9% and ashes 6%. The protein was analyzed to contain 18% of glutamic acid and 10% of lysine. Other amino acids showed a content near that of FAO reference protein except Methionine. Total lipid content was varied by nutritional condition especially by the kind of carbon source, however it showed a content 1.7 to 2.5 times higher than that of Saccaromyccs cerevisiae. The lipid contain 48% of oleic acid, 17% linoleic acid and 4% linolenic acid. The content of linoleic and lonolenic acid was higher than that of S.cerevisiae by 9 and 24 times, respectively.

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of nine quinolones (QNs) namely, marbofloxacin, norfloxacin(IS), ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, difloxacin, oxolinic acid, and flumequine in flatfish and egg was developed and validated using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FD). The samples were extracted using a traditional liquid-liquid extraction process; deproteinization was accomplished by the addition of trichloroacetic acid and acetonitrile (ACN), and defatting was performed with hexane. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase C8 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase of 200 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and ACN. The proposed method was validated according to the CODEX guideline. Mean recoveries of QNs from flatfish and egg were 89.6-106.5% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 15% at three different concentrations of 50, 100 and $500{\mu}g/kg$. Linearity was obtained with a correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.9989-1.0000. The LOD for the investigated QNs was $1-16{\mu}g/kg$ depending on flatfish and egg. The present method can be applied simultaneously to determine QNs in muscle of flatfish and egg.

As a primary study for SCP production from soybean curd waste water, selection of yeast and optimum cultivation condition of selected yeast on soybean curd waste water were investigated. Eighteen strains of the genus Candida and Saccharamyces were tested to compare their abilities to grow on soybean curd waste water. Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 grew most successfully. Optimum pH and optimum temperature of the basal medium for growth of the two strains were $6.0{\sim}6.5$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum culture medium of the two yeasts was soybean curd waste water supplemented with molasses 2.5% (as total sugar), ammonium acetate 0.1-0.3% (as nitrogen), $KH_2PO_4$ 0.1-0.2% (as phosphorus), and $K_2HPO_4$ 0.05% (as phosphorus). But yeast growth was not affected by metal salts. Under the optimum cultivation condition, the maximum cell weights of Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guillfermondii KFCC 35120 were 1.313g and 1.322g/100ml of culture broth respectively after 48 hr of cultivation. The cell yields of Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 were 68.4% and 74.2%, respectively, based on utilized sugar. On the other hand, crude protein of dry yeast produced by Candida utilis YUFE 1508 and Candida guilliermondii KFCC 35120 under optimum condition was 54.0% and 56.8%, respectively.

To develop a selective medium for the isolation and the detection of leuconostocs from the various samples including fermented vegetables, ten strains of leuconostocs and seven strains of lactobacilli were tested for their sensitivity to various antibiotics. The basal-medium containing 5 ${\mu}g/ml$ of novobiocin inhibited the growth of lactobacilli completely, but not that of leuconostocs. On the basis of this result, a new selective medium was developed and to be named NLS medium. This medium contains 1% Tryptone (Difco), 0.1% Yeast Extract (Difco), 2% sucrose, 0.1% Beef Extract (BBL), 0.5% sodium acetate, 0.2% ammonium sulfate, 0.01% magnesium sulfate, 0.2% dipotassium phosphate, 0.05% sorbic acid, 75 ppm sodium azide (Sigma), 0.1% (vol/vol) Tween 80, 30 ${\mu}g/ml$ of Vancomycin (Sigma), 5${\mu}g/ml$ of Novobiocin (Sigma), 0.5${\mu}g/ml$ of cysteine HCI, and 1.5% Agar (Difco). All of the eighty six isolates obtained from some foodstuffs were identified as members of the genus Leuconostoc. Comparative counts with the MRS, PES, LUSM, and NLS medium indicated that the recovery percent was lower than other selective media. Therefore, this result suggested that NLS medium was suitable for the isolation of leuconostocs, but not for counting or enumerating.
