In a borate buffer solution, the growth kinetics and the electronic properties of passive film on cobalt were investigated, using the potentiodynamic method, chronoamperometry, and single-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found out that the unstable passive film ($Co(OH)_2$) and CoO of Co formed in the low electrode potential changes to $Co_3O_4$ and CoOOH while the electrode potential increases. And the composition of the passive films was varied against the applied potential and oxidation time. The oxide film formed during the passivation process of cobalt has showed the electronic properties of p-type semiconductor, which follow from the Mott-Schottky equation.

Tyrosinase has two types of enzymatic activities, cresolase catalyzing the hydroxylation of monophenol and catecholase catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenol. Gradual inactivation of the enzyme during the reaction is a barrier to be overcome for the commercial application of the enzyme. Tyrosinase was stabilized by modifying the lysine residue of the enzyme using glutaraldehyde. In addition to that, tyrosinase was also stabilized by adapting the continuous reactor system. In packed bed reactor quinone could be easily removed, so the stability of tyrosinase increased. Borate buffer retarded the reaction rate of catechol to quinone and consequently decreased the tyroslnase inactivation. Tyrosinase immobilizer on controlled pore glass showed significantly enhanced stability in a packed-bed reactor.

In a borate buffer solution, the growth kinetics and the electronic properties of passive film on aluminum were investigated, using the potentiodynamic method, chronoamperometry, and multi-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion of aluminum was heavily influenced by the degree of oxygen concentration because of the increasing reduction current. The oxide film formed during the passivation process of aluminum has showed the electronic properties of n-type semiconductor, which follow from the Mott-Schottky equation. It was found out that the passive film (Al(OH)₃) of Al formed in the low electrode potential changes to Al₂O₃ while the electrode potential increases. The growth kinetics data as measured by chronoamperometry suggests a mechanism in which the growth of the film of Al₂O₃ is determined by field-assisted transport of ions through the film.

A suituable choice of supporting electrolyte medium for trace level determinations of chromium(VI) by differential pulse polarography is described. A comparative study suggests that sodium borate buffer is superior to ammonium acetate, ammonium tartrate, and especially to NaF which was recently known to be one of the most proper medium for the purpose. With 0.01 M borate, the best combination of high sensitivity, well-defined base line, and freedom from common interferents was attained. With $5.0{\times}10^{-7}$M Cr(VI), tenfold excesses of Cu(II) and Fe(III), and a five hundred-fold excess of $Cl^-$ do not change the peak current by more than about 1%. And the detection limit was $5.0{\times}10^{-8}$M Cr(VI).

The composition of four rice protein groups is greatly affected by the extraction conditions. The extraction amounts of albumins and glubulines primarily depended on the temperature rather than the method of extraction. The total amount of glutelins, the major components of rice storage proteins, could be extracted by a successive extraction processes, extraction with 0.5% SDS-0.1M borate buffer(pH 8.3) followed by extraction with 0.5% SDS-0.6% ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol-0.1M$ borate buffer(pH 8.3). The extracted amounts of glutelin with these solvents were 54.1 and 45% respectively. The further purification of SDS soluble glutelins was achieved by Sephadex G-150 gel column chromatography. The molecular weight of the components in four protein groups has been estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with or without ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol.$ The comparison of albumins and globulins by starch gel electrophoresis at pH 3.1 permitted us to identify seven rice varieties. However, at pH 8.95, the specific bands for Japonica type rice varieties were observed.

In this study, ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid, porphobilinogen, glycine and levulinic acid were succesfully separated by capillary electrophoresis(CE). We established the separative conditions of the mixture containing four components by CE. The borate buffered solution was used for CE electrolyte, and its pH was adjusted to $9.25{\sim}9.42$. Under constant current or constant voltage, higher concentraion of borate produced better resolution of four components, but adversely affected migration rates , resulting in longer analysis time. While migration time was faster with increase in applied voltage, but adversely affected resolution. Each component was separated well in borate buffer of 30mM at the applied voltage of 20kV.

Protein fractionation was evaluated from whole crop silages of rye (RS), wheat (WS), triticale (TS), oat (OS), barley (BS), and rice straw silage (RSS), and in vitro trial was carried out to examine the effect of silage and extraction of soluble protein on fermentation characteristics, total gas production and degradation. Soluble protein of silages was extracted with borate-phosphate buffer, and fermentation characteristics, gas production and degradation of silages were estimated by incubating anaerobically the mixed solution of strained rumen fluid and artificial saliva (1:1, v/v) containing dried and ground silages placed in nylon bag at $39^{\circ}C$ up to 48h. Soluble protein (SP) content was lowest for RSS as 2.11% in total CP compared to those for other silages. Highest A fraction (NPN) was observed from RS (74.33% of total CP) while those from TS and RSS were relatively low (48%). B2 fraction was relatively higher for RS, RSS and WS than for TS and BS. $B_3$ fraction was lowest in WS among silages. C fraction (27.07) in RSS was higher than in other silages (1.40~9.93%). pH in incubation solution was increased (P<0.01~P<0.001) for extracted silages up to 12h but decreased (P<0.01) at 48h for non-extracted ones. Contents of ammonia-N (P<0.001) and total VFA (P<0.01~P<0.001) were higher for non-extracted silages than for extracted ones. Acetate proportion was increased (P<0.001) in buffer extracted silages while those of propionate and butyrate were decreased (P<0.001) up to 24h incubation. Increased (P<0.001) total gas production was obtained from non-extracted silages up to 12h while gas production was increased (P<0.01) in extracted ones thereafter. In vitro degradation of dry matter and CP was increased (P<0.001) in non-extracted silages but that of neutral detergent fiber was increased (P<0.001) in extracted ones without difference among silages. Difference in mean values of degradability for each silage prior to- and post extraction with borate buffer, however, was not found among silages. It may be concluded that high NPN content of silages may reduce the protein availability in silages and borate buffer soluble components in silages can stimulate the early stage of fermentation.

This study was performed to clarify various conditions on the test of lipoxygenase-l and to establish the application of new test method for varietal improvement of soybeans in order to decrease beany flavors. Potassium borate and Tris were used as buffer and O.1M potassium borate solution showed the best result for the lipoxygenase-l test. In the range of pH 8.5~9.0 of the buffer, 2mM linoleic acid as substrate was effective. For color development, 100$\mu$l of two solutions(KI and starch) were added to the half soybean seed, successively. The substrate solution included linoleic acid was stored safely for 10 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ in refrigerator and for 4 days at room temperature. The best result was as follows; the 1ml of substrate solution[0.1M potassium borate(pH 9.0), 0.1％ Tween-20, 2mM linoleic acid] was added to the chipped half soybean seed in l.5ml plastic tube, waited for 15 minutes, and 100$\mu$l of color development solutions(5％ saturated KI in 15％ acetic acid, 1％ starch) were added to the tube, successively. After 4 hours, the purple color was observed in the upper phase of the plastic tube in the presence of lipoxygenase-1 and milky color in absence of lipoxygenase-1. The purple color was stable from 4 to 24 hours. There was no interfering effect by lipoxygenase-2 and -3. The plastic tube should be placed in the tube stand without shaking during the lipoxygenase-l test.
