As the studies on effective utilization of polyunsaturated lipids in sardine (Sardinops melanosticta), the conditions of deacidification, decoloring, and deodorization for processing of refined sardine oil were investigated In the process of refining, phosphoric acid treatment was not effective in removing phosphatides, and optimal condition to neutralize the crude sardine ill was treating for 30min at $40^{\circ}C$. with $0.5\%$ excess of 3M NaOH solution. Decoloring was optimized by adding $5\%$ bleaching earth and treating for 20min at $50^{\circ}C$ under vacuum, and deodorizing was done by steam destillation at $180^{\circ}C$ under 3 torr of vacuum. When deodorizing temperature exceeded $200^{\circ}C$, some changes occured in fatty acid composition and artifacts were appeared on GLC chromatogram.

Purpose: Poly-N-acetyl glucosamine(PGlcNAc) nanofiber-based materials, produced by a marine microalga, have been characterized as effective hemostatic and angiogenic agents. The similarity between PGlcNAc patch and the natural extracellular matrix allows it to support new healthy tissue growth in an injured area and to encourage fluid absorption. In this study, we hypothesized that a poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fiber patch(PGlcNAc patch) may enhance wound healing in the db/db mouse. Methods: PGlcNAc patches were applied on one square centimeter, full-thickness, skin wounds in the db/db mouse model. Wounds(n=15 per group) were dressed with a PGlcNAc nanofiber patch for 1 hour(1 h), 24 hours(24 h) or left untreated(NT). After the application time, patches were removed and wounds were allowed to heal spontaneously. The rate of wound closure was evaluated by digital analysis of unclosed wound area in course of time. At day 10, wounds(n=7 per group) were harvested and quantified with immunohistochemical markers of proliferation(Ki-67) and vascularization (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, PECAM-1). Results: Wounds dressed with PGlcNAc patches for 1 hour closed faster than control wounds, reaching 90% closure in 16.6 days, nine days faster than untreated wounds. Granulation tissue showed higher levels of proliferation and vascularization following 1 h treatment than the 24 h and NT groups. In addition to its hemostatic properties, the PGlcNAc material also appears to accelerate wound closure in healing-impaired genetically diabetic mice. Conclusion: This material, with its combination of hemostatic and wound healing properties, has the potential to be effective agent for the treatment of complicated wounds.

This experiment was carried out to elucidate the sugar composition of polysaccharides and the structural features of water-soluble polysaccharides(WSP) isolated from Korean oak mistletoe, Loranthus yadoriki Sieb. The 48-hours ball-milled meals of extractive-free dried mistletoe sawdusts were extracted with distilled water for $24hrs{\times}2$ at room temperature. The extracts poured into 95% ethyl alcohol to precipitate. The separated precipitate of WSP, in form of yellowish white powder by lyophilization, was fractionated into four subfractions of WSP-1, WSP-2, WSP-3 and WSP-4 by anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose column. The sugar composition of WSPs was analyzed by GLC in form of their glycitol acetates, and the structure of polysaccharides in Fractions WSP-1 and WSP-2 was determined by FT-IR and GC-MS after methylation through and acetylation. The sugars of WSPs from Korean oak mistletoe, Loranthus yadoriki, are majorly arabinose and galactose in stem, galactose in leaves very high in content and showed difference in composition and monomeric units between stems and leaves. D-galactose, D-glucose and L-arabinose are the simple sugars consisting of polysaccharides in WSP-1. ($1{\rightarrow}3$)-Linked galactan is the bakcbone with side chain of ($1{\rightarrow}5$)- -L-arabinofuranosyl residues and ($1{\rightarrow}6$)- -D-galactopyranosyl residues, and ($1{\rightarrow}4$)-linked glucan also presents. ($1{\rightarrow}4$)-Linked rhamnogalacturonan and ($1{\rightarrow}4$)- and ($1{\rightarrow}3$)-linked galactan present in WSP-2.

Fatty acid patterns were determined for 11 and 19 brands of household margarines from the local markets in Korea in 1983 and 1984, respectively. Gas-liquid chromatographic analyses on OV-275 column showed that the average content of total trans fatty acids was 18% ranging from 6.2 to 35.5% for the margarines produced in 1983. The prototype of trans fatty acids was trans-octadecenoic acid. There was a small amount of c, t-or t, c-octadecadienoic, whereas there were practically no t, t-octadecadienoic acid. Trans fatty acids was increased in proportion to linoleic acid contents. For the margarines produced in 1984.. percentage of trans fatty acids tended to decrease, while that of linoleic acid was increased as compared with the corresponding values for the 1983 products. Thus, the P/S ratio was increased markedly in the soft type margarines produced in 1984. However, Korean margarines contained seemingly less linoleic acid than that contained in Japanese margarines.

Fatty acid composition of domestic margarines (summer 12, winter 12 kinds) and foreign margarines (U.S.A. 4, Japan 8, Denmark 2 kinds) for home use were determined. The major fatty acids were palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) in all of the margarines. P/S ratios of winter products were $0.40{\sim}l.74$, those of summer products were $0.21{\sim}l.82$ in domestic margarines. Therefore degree of polyunsaturate in winter product was higher than that in summer product. P/S ratios of foreign margarines were $0.82{\sim}2.91$ irrespective of type.P/Sratios of stick and soft type in foreign margarines were similar as $0.82{\sim}2.59,\;0.90{\sim}2.67$, respectively Those of PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) type and LFS (low fat spread) were 2.91, 2.70, respectively.

Studies were made on the sugars composition in dried lavers (Porphyra yezoensis Ueda) and changes in the contents of sugars during the storage under a dry and a humid conditions respectively. 1) No notable difference was observed in the glucose content between those dried lavers samples, which were stored under dry and humid conditions. Galactose content showed little change under a dry condition, but under a humid condition rapidly increased to a maximum of about ten times of its initial amount and then decreased gradually. 2) The content of floridoside rapidly decreased under a humid condition while slowly decreased under a dry condition, of which tendency is a contrast to that of galactose. 3) One of the unidentified components, which is deduced to be isofloridoside, showed a fluctuation pattern, which bears resemblance to that of floridoside.

A chitinase was purified from the culture supernatant of Paenibacillus illinoisensis KJA-424 by protein precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex anion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The molecular weight of the purified chitinase was 54 kDa on SDS-PAGE and activity staining. Optimal pH and temperature were pH 5.0 and 60$^{circ}$C, the presence of 10 ruM Ag$^{+}$ and Hg$^{2+}$ inhibited the activity by $92.1/%$ and $97.7/%$, and the K$_{m}$ and V$_{max}$ values were 1.12 mg chitin mrl and 1.48$\mu$mol GlcNAc min$^{-1}$, respectively. The enzyme hydrolyzed tetramer to dimer, pentamer to dimer and trimer, and hexamer to dimer, trimer and tetramer, indicating an endo-splitting mechanism. The chitinase had no hydrolytic activity toward dimer and trimer. The chitinase inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani, suggesting an antifungal property.

This experiment was conducted to detect the presence of allelopathic substances in the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. Water extracts from G. biloba leaves which collected at different season markedly inhibited the germination and growth of O. sativa, E. crus-galli, D. sanguinalis, and L. sativa, indicating the presence of biological substances. Linolenic and palmitic acid were the major fatty acids of G. biloba leaves. The biochemical substances such as salicylic arid, p-coumaric acid, catechol, hydroquinone, orchinol, ferulic acid, phloroglucinol, and umbelliferone etc., belonging to the phenolic, compounds were, detected in a large amount, which may be responsible for exhibition inhibitory effects. The common phenolic compounds were detected in the early-harvested and late-harvested G. biloba leaves were salicylic and p-coumaric acid. All these compounds were related to the allelopathic activities in G. biloba leaves.
