These experiment were conducted to study the effects of various vitamins and amino acids upon the growth of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 and the results obtained were as follows. (1) As a growth factor, inositol, ribofavin, niacin and para amino benzoic acid were not required. (2) Though biotin, thiamin and Ca-pantothenate were adaptably required, vitamins required in absolute were not existed. (3) The growth rate of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 in the deficient group of biotin, thiamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin and Ca-pantothenate were more decreased on the media containing 26% of NaCl than containing none of NaCl in the earlystage of cultivation, while the growth rate showed the opposition tendency in the latter term of cultivation. (4) As an amino acid, methionine, tryptophan, serine, threonine, cystine, glycine, leucine and valine showed systematically the effects of addition in the compound media containing $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as a nitrogen sources. (5) The growth rate of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 in the addition group of histidine, lycine, arginine, aspartic acid, proline and tyrosine were somewhat decreased on the media containing higher concentration of NaCl comparison with none NaCl media in the early stage of cultivation, showing the similar or increasing tendency in the latter term of cultivation.

The changes in phenolic compounds and pectin content were investigated during the growth of 3 cultivars (Hosui, Niitaka and Chuwhangbae) of Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolria) fruits. The amounts of total phenolic compounds in peel, flesh and core was 20.61-22.98mg/g, 0.87-1.23mg/g and 6.39-37.96mg/g during early growth, respectively, and decreased with pear growth. Arbutin, chlorogenic acid and epicatechin were detected in each part of all three cultivars during early growth; of these, arbutin content was the highest. Caffeic acid, catechin and 4-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid were detected in the peel and core during the ripening process. The total pectin content in the flesh of Hosui, Niitaka, and Chuwhangbae cultivars decreased from 5.93mg/g, 5.99mg/g and 5.40mg/g to 1.07mg/g, 1.60mg/g and 1.63mg/g, respectively. Of the soluble pectins, the hydrochloric acid-soluble pectin content was the highest, 3.21-3.45mg/g, and decreased during growth.

In order to reduce energy input in direct ethanol production from raw starch by co-immobilized Aspergillus awamori(A) and Zymomonas mobilis(Z), A-Z 36 culture system which was changed to anaerobic after 36 h of aerobic fermentation without sterilization was investigated. This immobilized cell system can not be carried out under unsterile conditions because of growth of microbial contaminants from original medium. Among some food additives such as sorbic acid, benzoic acid, dehydroacetic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, Vantocil IB and Neupectin-L, Vantocil IB and Neupectin-L were a potent antibacterial agent in A-Z 36 culture cell system and were not affected in hydrolysis of substrate as compared with the case of control. Ethanol yield(6.9 g/l) in system of addition of 0.1% Neupectin-L was slightly higher than that in control(6.4 g/l). When 2% starch was fed five times in fed-batch culture with 0.1% Neupectin-L, ethanol yield and productivity were 34 g/l and 2.0 g/l/day, respectively.

Contents of isoflavone, phenolic acids, tocopherol, and anthocyanin in black soybean (Glycine max) were measured by HPLC. To compare antioxidative activities of main black soybean components, antioxidative effects of the same levels of commercial standard components were measured by Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay (TEAC). Most effective component was gentisic acid followed by anthocyanin, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, genistein, syringic acid, and daidzein. TEAC assay results revealed genistein in isoflavone, gentisic acid in phenolic acids, p-tocopherol in tocopherol, and anthocyanin showed highest antioxidative and synergistic acitivities, with anthocyanin showing strongest synergy effect.

In this study, we isolated aromatic compounds (lignin polymers) utilizing bacteria in humus layer of oak forest and investigated phylogenetic characteristics and correlation with major bacterial populations in the humus layer by pyrosequencing. Forty-two isolates using aromatic compounds such as p-anisic acid, benzoic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid were isolated and phylogentic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolates belonged to the genus Rhizobium, Sphingomonas, Burkhorlderia, and Pseudomonas. Among these, Burkhorlderia species which belong to Betaproteobacteria class occupied 83% among the isolates. The bacterial populations in humus layer of oak forest were characterized by next generation pyrosequencing based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The humus sample produced 7,862 reads, 1,821 OTUs and 6.76 variability index with 97% of significance level, respectively. Bacterial populations consist of 22 phyla and Betaproteobacteria were the major phylum consisting of 15 genera including Burkholderia, Polaromonas, Ralstoria, Zoogloea, and Variovorax. Approximately fifty percentage of them was Burkholderia. Burkholderia as the majority of population in the humus was considered to play a role in degrading lignin in humus layer of oak forest.

Comparison of the antioxidant potential and enzyme activities of the extracts of Rhus showed considerable differences. The antioxidative activities of Rhus javanica were the highest of three species tried (7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$). The highest activities showed in fraction No.3 of 12 fractions by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and the antioxidative activity showed, in purified extract of each stem,1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ (in Rhus verniciflua), 1.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ (in Rhus javanica) and 2.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ (in Rhus tricocarpa) respectively. These were identificated as phenolic compounds which are well known antioxidant compounds such as 2-propenoic acid (Caffeic acid), Benzoic acid (Gallic acid), 7-hydroxy- 6methoxy-2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one (Scopoletin). POD activities of stem were higher than leaf. Especially, POD activity in stem of Rhus javanica was 193 times higher than leaf. Rhus tricocarpa, however, showed very low POD activity. SOD activities of stem were higher than that of leaf in Rhus javanica and Rhus verniciflua but in Rhus tricocarpa, the activity of leaf was 25 times higher than that of stem.

We have synthesized some 2-(2-benzyloxybenzoyloxy)-and 2-(2,6-dibenzyloxybenzoyloxy)-acetophenones as intermediates for flavone synthesis. The reaction of polyoxygenated 2-hydroxyacetophenones with 2-benzyloxybenzoic acid or 2,6-dibenzyloxybenzoic acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and p-dimethylaminopyridine resulted in a good yield$(70{\sim}89%)$ of 2-(2-benzyloxybenzoyloxy)-acetophenones or 2-(2,6-dibenzyloxybenzoyloxy) acetophenones under milder conditions and in shorter time than the previous methods. This new methods using benzoic acids instead of benzoyl chlorides saves one reaction step of acid chlorination in comparision of the previous methods.

The preservatives in 32 commercial liquid preparations of crude drugs have been analyzed by using high performance liquid chromatography. Benzoic acid (BA) and p-hydroxybenzoates were separated with mobile phase of $MeOH-H_2O$ (70:30) (pH 7.0) at a flow rate of 0.9ml/min. BA, sorbic acid and dehydroacetic acid were separated with mobile phase of $MeOH-H_2O$ (40:60) (pH 4.5) at a same flow rate. In addition, the pH values of the preparations were investigated. It was found that BA was used in most of the preparations.

During the synthesis of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde via the SNAr reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with TBAF, it was found that an equivalent amount of TBAF could oxidize benzaldehyde to benzoic acid. The reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) gave 4-nitrobenzoic acid in high yield. Depending on the reaction conditions, other aromatic aldehydes produced acids with fewer amounts of alcohols. However, this type of oxidation has limited practical applications. Nevertheless, the mechanism is quite different from the Cannizzaro reaction because the amounts of the acid salt and alcohol formed were different.
