This study was carried out to investigate the changes of physical and chemical properties and the usability of long-term stored leaf tobacco. The physical chemical properties of the flue-cured and burley leaves produced in 1993, processed in 1994 were analysed from Nov. 1996 to Nov. 1999. The pH and moisture content in leaf decreased slowly until 4 years’storage after processing, while those of leaf changed little thereafter. However, total sugar content continuously decreased until 5 years after processing. The filling capacity increased and shatter resistance index decreased in long-term stored leaf. The sensory test, cilia stasis and the chemical components of cigarette smoke had no significant differences between short and long-term stored leaves. When the processed leaves were stored till 5 years after processing, there were no deteriorative effects on quality and usability of leaf tobacco. Therefore, it is considered that the processed leaf may be stored for 5 years or more under the inevitable situation.

The physicochemical properties of deodeok (Codonopsis lanceolate) was investigated in relation to the different steaming time and cycles of steaming and drying (S/D). Additionally, the quality characteristics of Makgeolli with different amount (0-0.45%) of steaming and drying deodeok (SD) were measured comparison to non-steaming and drying deodeok (NSD). L⁎ values of deodeok tended to decrease as the number of S/D cycles and steaming times increased, while BI showed the opposite trend for L⁎ values. Reducing sugar increased significantly from 1 to 3 S/D cycles and decreased thereafter (p<0.05). Also, processed with steaming for 4 h and 5 S/D cycles had the highest antioxidant properties. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the S/D process notably influenced the properties of deodeok. Quality characteristics of Makgeolli showed that 0.45% SD resulted in higher antioxidant properties than control or NSD.

The high costs for ethanol production with lignocellulosic biomass as a second generation energy materials currently deter commercialization of lignocellulosic biomass, especially wood biomass which is considered as the most recalcitrant material for enzymatic hydrolysis mainly due to the high lignified structure and the nature of the lignin component. Therefore, overcoming recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass for converting carbohydrates into sugar that can subsequently be converted into biobased fuels and biobased products is the primary technical and economic challenge for bioconversion process. This study was mainly reviewed on the research trend of the enhancement of enzymatic hydrolysis for lignocellulosic biomass after pretreatment in bioethanol production process.

This study investigated the current status and needs for nutrition education to help reduce children's sugars intake at the Center for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFM, n=115), and Child Care Facilities (CCF, n=646) through an online survey conducted from October $5^{th}$ to $30^{th}$ 2015. A total of 14.8% of CCFM respondents and 31.9% of CCF respondents provided nutrition education on sugars intake to young children as a main topic (p<0.001). A higher percentage (CCFM 47.8%: CCF 42.4%) delivered nutrition education on sugars intake to young children as a sub-component (p<0.001). Over 90% of the CCFM and CCF participants agreed on the necessity of providing nutrition education on sugars intake to children. The most common reasons given for delivering nutrition education on children's sugar intake were "there are many more urgent nutrition education topics" for CCFM, and "insufficient nutrition education information and materials" for CCF. The percentage of nutrition education on children's sugar intake provided to the children's parents was low showing about 20% in the both groups. The percentage of CCFM participants providing nutrition, education on children's sugar intake to the teachers in CCF was also low, showing about 14.8%; however, 68.0% of the CCF participants wanted to received teacher's education on guiding children's sugar intake. Regarding ideas about a nutrition education program on children's sugar intake for young children, most respondents in both groups answered "sugar intake and dental cavities or obesity" for appropriate education contents, "story telling or puppet show" for appropriate education methods, and "dietitian from CCFM and class teacher together" for appropriate educator. For appropriate education time, there was a significantl difference between the CCFM responses (average 2.7 times) and the CCF responses (average 4 times). Based on the above results, we found that implementing nutrition education on children's sugar intake at the CCFM and CCF, was low; however, awareness of the need for nutrition education on children's sugar intake and the program development and supply was very high. Also, the opinions of CCFM and CCF participants about a nutrition education program on children's sugar intake for young children can provide foundation data to develop and implement the CCFM-based nutrition education program.

Hot-water extract, Fr. 1, of Phellinus linteus mycelium was fractionated into Fr. 2, 3, 4, and 5 by the difference of solubility in ethanol. The polysaccharide fractions were studied for their immunostimulating activity on in vitro T-independent polyc1onal antibody response to trinitrophenyl-haptened SRBC (sheep red blood cell). The Fr. 4 with the highest immunostimulating activity was subjected to DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and gave five fractions, 4-I, II, III, IV, and V. The in vitro immunostimulating assay of the five fractions showed that 4-I and 4-III had a similar activity to that of LPS but the other fractions had low activity. By analyses of chemical composition and HPLC, all fractions obtained were found to be heteropolysaccharide-protein complex. The molecular weights ranged from 9, 000 to 15, 000. Sugar analyses showed that glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, and xylose were main component. Uronic acid and amino sugar were also detected in the fractions. It should be noted that the molecular weight (15, 000) of 4-III was very small and the structure of 4-III may be different from the known immunostimulating branched $\beta$-(1longrightarrow3)-glucan.

The effects of biological pretreatment on the Japanese red pine Pinus densiflora, was evaluated after exposure to three white rot fungi Ceriporia lacerata, Stereum hirsutum, and Polyporus brumalis. Change in chemical composition, structural modification, and their susceptibility to enzymatic saccharification in the degraded wood were analyzed. Of the three white rot fungi tested, S. hirsutum selectively degraded the lignin of this sortwood rather than the holocellulose component. After eight weeks of pretreatment with S. hirsutum, total weight loss was 10.7%, while lignin loss was the highest at 14.52% among the tested samples. However, holocellulose loss was lower at 7.81 % compared to those of C. lacerata and P. brumalis. Extracelluar enzymes from S. hirsutum showed higher activity of ligninase and lower activity of cellulase than those from other white rot fungi. Thus, total weight loss and changes in chemical composition of the Japanese red pine was well correlated with the enzyme activities related with lignin- and cellulose degradation in these fungi. Based on the data obtained from analysis of physical characterization of degraded wood by X-ray Diffractometry (XRD) and pore size distribution, S. hirsutum was considered as an effective potential fungus for biological pretreatment. In particular, the increase of available pore size of over 120 nm in pretreated wood powder with S. hirsutum made enzymes accessible for further enzymatic saccharification. When Japanese red pine chips treated with S. hirsutum were enzymatically saccharified using commercial enzymes (Cellulclast 1.5 L and Novozyme 188), sugar yield was greatly increased (21.01 %) compared to non-pre treated control samples, indicating that white rot fungus S. hirsutum provides an effective process in increasing sugar yield from woody biomass.

Microorganisms were isolated from Dongchundang(wooden cultural heritage) with PDA medium culture. Nineteen species shows the cellulolytic activity. Methylobacterium sp. was the most active in cellulose degradation. The growth curve and pH were measured during incubation of the microorganism for 72 hours. The pH was increased with the increasing of microbial growth. The degree of cellulose degradation was determined with the amount of reducing sugar by use of dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The amount of reducing sugar was decreased after 45 hours. As a results, It should suggested that wood component were deteriorated by Methylobacterium sp..
