Phytoestrogens, especially soy-derived isoflavones, are receiving great scrutiny as a food supplement for preventing hormone dependent disease such as postmenopausal osteoporosis. Their beneficial effects are derived from aglycone form of isoflavones, such as daidzein, genistein or glycitein. In contrast to the common usage of soybean, black bean (Rhynchosia Molubilis : Yak-kong) has been used as a supplement for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis in oriental medicine. To investigate the effects of the saliva, artificial stomach fluid, and digestive enzymes on the conversion of glycosidic isoflavone to aglycone form, soybean and black bean were extracted with 70% methanol and freeze-dried. The recovery yield of methanol extracts of black bean was 14.1% which was higher than that of soybean, 13.5%. In terms of total isoflavones, we routinely obtained larger amount of isoflavones from black bean than those from soybean. By incubating methanol extracts of soybean and black bean with IN HCI for 180 min, the proportions of aglycones relative to the total isoflavone were significantly increased (32.4% and 52.4%, respectively). In vitro conversion, digestive enzymes ($\beta$-glucosidase and $\alpha$-glucosidase) may hydrolyze glycosidic bond of isoflavone more effectively than saliva or artificial stomach fluid did. It seems to say that the activity of $\beta$-glucosidase was higher than those of $\alpha$-glucosidase. The rate of conversion of glucoside form to aglycone form in black bean and soybean was low in physiological condition (pH) tested, although the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucoside was active. These results demonstrated that the composition of aglycone in food may be the important factors in terms of the bioavailability of isoflavones. (Korean J Nutrition 36(1): 32-39, 2003)

CuO/ZnO, CuO/SiO,sub>2, and CuO/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared for investigating the support effects on methanol dehydrogenation. It was found that the conversion of methanol was proportional to the copper surface area on Cu/ZnO cat alysts and was independent on that on Cu/ZrO2 and Cu/SiO2. The highest copper surface area was obtained with the Cu/ZrO2 (9/1). The unusual deactivation of the Cu/ZnO, which showed the highest selectivity among the catalysts tested, was observed. Pulse reaction with methanol indicated that the lattice oxygen in ZnO could be removed by forming CO2 in the catalytic reaction, supporting that the ZnO reduction was responsible for the severe deactivation of the Cu/ZnO.

탄화수소로의 메탄올 전환반응에 대한 헤테로폴리산 화합물의 역할과 적용성에 관하여 연구하였다. 탄화수소의 수율과 저급 올레핀의 선택도를 높히기 위하여 반응온도, 메탄올 분압 및 접촉시간 등 반응조건의 영향과 촉매의 이온교환 효과를 조사하였다. 그들의 산의 세기는 치환된 금속이온의 종류에 따라 달라졌고, 탄화수소의 수율과 프로판에 대한 프로필렌의 선택도는 상대 금속이온의 전기음성도와 밀접한 관계를 보여주었다. 다른 헤테로폴리산 화합물과는 달리 암모늄염은 상당히 높은 촉매활성과 저급 올레핀에 대한 파라핀의 높은 선택도를 보여 주었다.

SAPO-34 촉매상에서 DME(dimethyl ether) 또는 메탄올로부터 경질 올레핀(에틸렌, 프로필렌, 부텐)을 제조하는 반응을 수행하여, 각각의 올레핀들과 CO, $CO_2$와 같은 부 생성물의 수율을 반응온도와 시간의 흐름에 따라 비교해서 관찰하였다. DME 전환반응은 메탄올 전환반응과 비교하여 볼 때 촉매의 비활성화가 급격히 진행되었다. 물을 첨가할 경우, 올레핀의 수율을 증가와 함께 코크 생성에 의한 촉매의 비활성화가 감소하여 촉매의 수명이 길어짐을 확인하였다.

In different approaches ginsenosides were extracted from Korean ginseng roots by ammonia and for comparison with methanol-water and water. The extracts have been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to evaluate yield and selectivity of extractions of ginsenosides. Water supplied the lowest yield. The yields of extracts with liquid ammonia were higher than those with methanol-water. However, this is partly due to the conversion of malonyl ginsenoside to normal ginsenosides by ammonia. It was proved by HPLC that malonyl-ginsenosides $m-Rb_1,\;m-Rb_2,$ m-Rc and m-Rd were converted to the corresponding neutral ginsenosides. Furthermore, ginsenosides from ginseng roots were extracted by alkaline methanol-water $(60\%)$ solutions. Alternatively, the extracts of the methanol-water $(60\%)$ extraction were treated with sodium hydroxide solution. Both methods also convert the malonyl-ginsenosides to neutral ginsenosides.

보로실리케이트와 HZSM-5 제올라이트 및 이들의 골격에 철이 일부 치환된 촉매를 제조하여 메탄올의 전환반응에서 촉매성질을 조사하였다. 산점의 세기와 양이 생성물 분포에 미치는 영향을 암모니아의 승온 탈착곡선으로부터 얻어진 산성도와 연관지어 고찰하였다. 강한 산점이 적은 보로실리케이트 촉매에서는 프로필렌 선택도가 높았으나, 강한 산점이 많은 HZSM-5 제올라이트 촉매에서는 방향족 화합물의 선택도가 높았다. 약한 산점이 전환반응에 기여하는지 여부는 확인되지 않았으나, 생성물 선택도는 강한 산점의 양과 관련지어 설명할 수 있었다. 철의 치환으로 약한 산점이 많아졌으나, 전화율이나 올레핀 선택도에는 영향이 없었다.

Al-SBA-1(Si/Al = 40, 80 and 120) and Al,Mg-SBA-1 (Si/(Al+Mg) = 40 and 80) molecular sieves were synthesized and characterized. Acetalization of n-heptanal with methanol was studied under autogenous pressure between 80 and $150^{\circ}C$. Since protonation of n-heptanal was fast, addition of methanol to the same to formed hemiacetal slowly whereas conversion of hemiacetal to acetal was fast. The catalysts exhibited nearly similar conversion irrespective of their difference in acidity, and all of them showed more than 80 % conversion either at 80 or $100^{\circ}C$. Hence it is evident that the difference in acidity is not so important in differentiating the activity of the catalysts. The large pore size and hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties are suggested to be the main factors that control acetalization.

Methanol is a liquid fuel which could also be produced from renewable energy sources and has appreciably high energy density. In this work, we investigated the application of $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-x}$ supported Cu and Ni catalysts for hydrogen production via methanol steam reforming. Catalysts were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis. The prepared catalysts with various active materials and Cu loading amounts were tested in a reactor at $200-300^{\circ}C$, 0-5 barg range and steam to methanol molar ratio was 1.5. The catalytic properties of Cu and Ni were compared, and the catalytic performance was shown to depend on the amounts of metal loading and operating conditions such as reaction temperature and pressure.

We developed a water-selective ceramic composite membrane for use as a dehydration membrane reactor for dimethylether (DME) synthesis from methanol. The membranes were modified on the porous stainless steel support by the sol-gel method accompanied by a suction process. The improved membrane modification process was effective in increasing the vapour permselectivity by removal of defects and pinholes. The optimized alumina/silica composite membrane exhibited a water permeance of 1.14${\times}$10$^{-7}$ mol/$m^2$.sec.Pa and a water/methanol selectivity of 8.4 at permeation temperature of 25$0^{\circ}C$. The catalytic reaction for DME synthesis from methanol using the membrane was performed at 23$0^{\circ}C$, and the reaction conversion was compared with that of the conventional fixed-bed reactor. The reaction conversion of the membrane reactor was much higher than that of the conventional fixed-bed reactor. The reaction conversion of the membrane reactor and the conventional fixed-bed reactor was 82.5 and 68.0%, respectively. This improvement of reaction efficiency can last if the water vapour produced in the reaction zone is removed continuously.
