Autohydrolysis at different temperature levels was applied as industrial hemp pretreatment technique for glucose generation. Main structural components removed by autohydrolysis was xylan, which is more sensitive in acidic hydrolysis condition than cellulose or lignin. Higher temperature reaction conditions promoted more biomass components (xylan) removal than lower temperature, which led to better respond to enzymatic saccharification of residual biomass after autohydrolysis. With $185^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, saccharification degree was 53.0% of cellulose in hemp woody core biomass.

We investigated a potential for glucose production from cellulose material using two kinds of hyperthermophilic enzymes, endocellulase (EG) and beta-glucosidase (BGL). Two BGLs, from hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus and mesophile Aspergillus aculeatus, were compared with P. horikoshii endocellulase (EGPh) for complete hydrolysis of cellulose. The combination reactions by each BGL enzyme and EGPh could produce only glucose without the other oligosaccharides from phosphoric acid swollen Avicel (PSA). The combination of both the hyperthermophilic cellulases, BGLPf and EGPh, will be adaptable to a high efficiency system to produce glucose at high temperature.

This study was conducted to produce oligosaccharides from buckwheat hull by using commercial enzymes. Yields of oligosaccharides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions were 132.37 and 393.04 g/kg, respectively. Xylose, glucose, fructose, xylobiose, xylotriose, cellobiose, and cellotriose were detected in the hydrolysate produced from buckwheat hull. Antioxidant activity of oligosaccharide from cellulose fraction (OSC) reduced with increasing hydrolysis time; however, the antioxidant activity of oligosaccharide from hemicellulose fraction (OSF) increased as the hydrolysis time was prolonged. OSF and OSC showed higher increase in viable counts compared to the control. As a result, oligosaccharides produced from buckwheat hull by enzymatic hydrolysis showed antioxidant activity and prebiotic effects. It is suggested that utilization of oligosaccharides produced from buckwheat hull as functional food materials may be improved when hydrolysis time and conditions are controlled for this purpose.

Rice Straw was delignified by autoclaving with 1％ NaOH solution at $121^{\circ}C$ for one hour and was disintegrated by a Wiley mill to 60 mesh. This substrate was saccharified with cellulase produced by Trichoderma viride T04 in solid culture me-dium. The rate and extent of hydrolysis were both increased when high enzyme concentration and low substrate concentration were employed. The original cellulose was treated with 0.19 FPA unit for three hours and followed by the second treatment for the same period with the same concentration of enzyme after washing. By doing this the hydrolysis rate at the second stage could increase four folds of that unwashed. The same experiment with 0.32 FPA unit yielded two folds suggesting an end-product inhibition on the recaction system. The extent of hydrolysis however, could not be in-creased by this process.

Penicillium sp.-L4, a causative fungus of rot in citrus fruits, was isolated and its mode of hydrolytic enzyme production was investigated. Carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase), polygalacturonase(PGase), extra- & intra-cellular $\beta$-glucosidase and cellobiase were produced drastically by addition of substrates in minimal media. Production of the hydrolytic enzymes were induced efficiently by cellobiose and cellooligosaccharides which were the products of cellulose hydrolysis, but repressed by addition of mono-saccharide such as glucose, raffinose, galacturonic acid. The relative activity of p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(PNPG) hydrolysis was higher than that of cellobiose hydrolysis in extracellular enzymes, and reverse is true in intracellular enzymes. Intact enzyme production of P. sp.-L4 on lemon peel lesion was sequential. $\beta$-Glucosidase and CMCase were produced first and followed by PGase. The enzyme productivities and pH in lesions were coincident with optimal pH of each enzyme activities.

The mushroom cultured waste(MCW) from cork oak was evaluated as the raw material for bioethanol production. For enzymatic hydrolysis, cellulase cocktails (Celluclast 1.5L and Novozym 188) was used for polysaccharides to monosaccharides conversion. Compared with sound cork oak woodmeal, woodmeal from MCW showed higher cellulose to glucose conversion. To improve polysaccharides to monosaccharides conversion, pretreatment by sodium hydroxide was applied. Even though more xylan and lignin were removed in woodmeal of MCW than that of cork oak, concentration of glucose was higher from sodium hydroxide treated cork oak woodmeal (51.3 g/L) than treated MCW woodmeal (41.6 g/L).

In this paper, the saponin enzymatic hydrolysis of ginsenoside Rg3 was studied. The $ginsenoside-{\beta}-glucosidase$ from FFCDL-48 strain mainly hydrolyzed the ginsenoside Rg3 to Rh2, the enzyme from FFCDL-00 strain hydrolyzed Rg3 to the mixture of Rh2 and protopanaxadiol (aglycon). The $ginsenoside-{\beta}-glucosidase$ from FFCDL-48 strain was purified with a column of DEAE-Cellulose to one spot in the SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. During the purification, the enzyme specific acitvity was increased about 10 times. The purified $ginsenoside-{\beta}-glucosidase$ can hydrolyze the Rg3 to Rh2, but do not hydrolyze the $p-nitrophenyl-{\beta}-glucoside$ which is a substrate of original exocellulase such as ${\beta}-glucosidase$ of cellulose. The molecular weight of $ginsenoside-{\beta}-glucosidase$ was 34,000, the optimal temperature of enzyme reaction was $50^{\circ}C,$ and the optimal pH was 5.0.

Soybean hull is an attractive feedstock for glucose production. To increase the glucose conversion in acid hydrolysis, a pretreatment method combined steam explosion with alkali pretreatment for soybean hull was studied. For first step pretreatment, steam explosion conditions (log Ro 2.45) were optimized to obtain maximum solid recovery and cellulose content. In the second step pretreatment, the conditions for potassium hydroxide pretreatment of steam exploded soybean hull were optimized by using RSM (response surface methodology). The optimum conditions for minimum lignin content were determined to be 0.6% potassium hydroxide concentration, $70^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature and 198 min reaction time. The predicted lignin content was 2.2% at the optimum conditions. Experimental verification of the optimum conditions gave the lignin content in similar value with the estimated value of the model. Finally, glucose conversion of pretreated soybean hull using acid hydrolysis resulted in $97.1{\pm}0.4%$. This research of two-step pretreatment was a promising method for increasing the glucose conversion in the cellulose-to-glucose process.

The strain FJ1 isolated from a rotten wood showed high activity to hydrolysis of cellulosic materials. The strain produced largely enzymes related in hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose, such as CMCase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$ , and avicelase. The culture conditions(pH, temperature, inoculation concentration) and substrate specificity to various cellulosic materials were examined to elevate productivity of the enzymes. The enzyme activities of CMCase and xylanase were 13.5U/ml and 24.3U/ml in agitation culture using Mandel's medium, respectively. The high activity of the enzymes was earned when mixed cellulosic materials of rice straw, sawdust, and pulp as substrates, indicating that the strain FJ1 could use crystalline substrates.
