In this study, the potential of biomass, which is generated from oil palm cultivation and crude palm oil (CPO) production of Indonesia was assessed in the aspect of energy content. The types of oil palm biomass were classified on the basis of the cultivation stage and the CPO production stage. In the cultivation stage, biomass is considered to be produced from its' root, trunk and frond. Other possible biomass resources such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm kernel shell (PKS) and fiber were included in the CPO production stage. As results, total biomass from damaged plantation area of Indonesia was estimated to be annually from 3 million to 16 million tons in 2011. From CPO mills, approximately 49 million tons/yr of biomass residues were estimated to be annually occurred. Their total energy content from each biomass source in cultivation stage was analyzed to be from 593,000 to 3,197,000 TOEs in terms of gross calorific value. In the case of CPO mills, around 22.7 million TOEs was estimated to be potential energy producible by biomass based on gross calorific value of dry basis. If moisture content considered, net calorific value was analyzed to be decreased to 16.3 million TOEs. Based on the results, the total energy contents of all oil palm biomass were estimated to be up to 25,919,000 TOE in terms of gross calorific value. CPO : Crude Palm Oil, EFB : Empty Fruit Bunch, FFB: Fresh Fruit Bunch, PKS : Palm Kernel Shell, OPF : Oil Palm Frond, PKOC : Palm Kernel Oil Cake, ISPO : Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil Commission, TOE : Tone of Oil Equivalent.

Efficient use of low rank coals (LRC) have been investigated as a method to cope with recent high oil price. Among the coals used in industry, lignite and sub-bituminous coals are belong to the LRC, and have abundant deposit and are distributed worldwide, but high moisture contents and self ignition properties inhibits their utilization. In this paper, chemical coal cleaning to produce ash-free coal from LRC has been investigated. Two technologies, that is, UCC(Ultra Clean Coal) process removing ash from coal and Hyper Coal process extracting combustibles from coal were compared with. UCC process has merits of simple and reliable when it compared with Hyper Coal process, but the remaining ash contents werehigher than Hyper Coal. Hyper Coal has ash contents under the 200ppm when raw coal is treated with appropriate solvent and ion exchange materials to remove alkali materials in extracted solution. The ash-free coal which is similar grade with oil can be used as alternate oil in the industry, and also used as a high grade fuel for IGCC, IGFC and other advanced combustion technology.

Studies were conducted to evaluate spent bleaching clay as a feed resource. Raw spent bleaching clay from the soybean refining process in a rotary reactor is rich in crude fat (26.0%) and crude ash (68.3%) but low in moisture (5.2%) and crude protein (0.5%). The peroxide value of spent bleaching clay was significantly higher than soybean oil (P<0.05). Also the acid value of spent bleaching clay and soybean oil were 9.72 and 0.001, respectively, it was significantly different(P<0.01). It is possible that the acidification of spent bleaching clay was prevented by artificial method. On the feeding experiment, 2.0 to 4.0% of dietary spent bleaching clay were improve body weight gain, feed intake and feed/ gain. Results indicate that spent bleaching clay may be used at 2.0 to 4.0% for broiler diets without deleterious effects on performance.

This research was studied to optimize the recipe of rice pound cake with two concentrations of Euonymus alatus and grape seed oil, using central composite design (CCD). The mixing condition of rice pound cake was optimized by subjecting it to sensory evaluation and mechanical and physicochemical analysis, using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of the mechanical and physicochemical analysis showed significant values for color (lightness, redness, yellowness), texture (hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness), loss rate, volume, specific volume, sweetness, saltiness, moisture content and pH (p<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation showed significant values for color, flavor, taste, softness, appearance and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimized compounding ratio was found to be 4.28 g of Euonymus alatus and 33.18 g of grape seed oil.

Recently, there have been attempts to claim the hair moisturizing effect for a hair care product, however there has not yet been an official evaluation method because heating temperature for hair has not been established. This study was conducted to establish a quantitative evaluation for hair water content. In order to observe the behavior of water inside hair, heat was applied to hair with various temperatures using thermogravimetric dry residue. As the heating temperature increased, the amount of moisture released from the hair increased. As a result of evaluating hair using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), a unique phenomenon in which a rapid endothermic reaction occurs around 75 ℃ was observed. This phenomenon was also observed in different ethnic hair. In hair that damaged the hair cuticle barrier with oxidation and heat, this rapidly rising endothermic reaction temperature occurred at 77 ℃, which was slightly higher, and 73 ℃ was observed when this hair was applied with polar oil, conditioning polymer, or keratin protein. To determine how this reaction affects the hair surface, friction test was performed using an atomic force microscope. When heated above 75 ℃, cuticle friction increased, however when heated above 90 ℃, there was no change in hair cuticle friction. Finally, it was confirmed that around 75 ℃ is the critical temperature at which desorption of water bound to the hair occurs. It is suggested that a heating temperature of 75 ℃ is the optimal temperature for detecting and quantifying the moisture content of hair, and that approximately 10% detected at 75 ℃ can be a standard value for hair moisture content.

In order to elucidate the temperature and pressure effect on the oil expression of perilla seed, recovery of expressed oil (REO) and volumetric strain of both roasted and unroasted perilla seeds were observed at different temperature, pressure and for different periods of press. In this experiment, moisture content of perilla seed was adjusted to 2.5% and temperature used were 30, 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$. Pressure applied were 10, 30, 50 and 70 MPa, and periods of press were 5, 7, 9 and 11 min. As temperature and pressure were increased or periods of press was lengthened, REO and volumetric strain of pressed cake were increased. Maximum REO of unroasted perilla seeds were found to be 85.59% and those of roasted perilla seeds be 85.30%, at 70 MPa, $60^{\circ}C$, and for 11 min. Viscosity of expressed oil were exponentially dependent on temperature and REO were increased as viscosity was decreased. From statistical analysis between effects of expression factors and REO and volumetric strain of pressed cake, importance of their effects was decreased in the order of pressure, temperature, $temperature{\times}pressure$ and periods of press. The multiple regression equation between REO(Y) and temperature (T), pressure (P), and periods of press (D) were as follows; $Y=7.95+36.85P+1.12T^2-0.55TP-5.08P^2\;r^2=0.97$ for unroasted perilla seed (p<0.01), $Y=4.50T+39.23P+0.83T^2-1.71P-5.07P^2\;r^2=0.99$ for roasted perilla seed (p<0.01).

In this study, physicochemical properties and the antioxidative activity of whey protein isolate(WPI) for com germ oil were measured. The pH of WPI was 6.26, and the titrable acidity was 0.18%. The WPI’s moisture content was 5.2% and each of the other element content such as lactose, crude protein, crude ash and crude fat was found to be 0.8%, 90.7%, 2.7% and 0.6%, respectively. The amounts of active SH group in WPI 9 ${\mu}$ M-g and total colony counts of bacteria was 5.9 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ CFU-g. ${\alpha}$-Lactalbumin, ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin and bovine serum albumin(BSA) were shown in WPI as major protein by electrophoresis. The antioxidative effect of WPI and other antioxidants on com germ oil used as substrate was determined by peroxide value(POV) and conjuqated dienoic acid value(CDV). By these results, the order of antioxidative effects could be defined as BHT 0.02%>ascorbic acid 0.1%>WPI 0.1%>WPI 0.02%>ascorbic acid 0.02%>control>tocopherol 0.02%>tocopherol 0.1%, respectively. Also the induction period of com germ oil added with WPI was longer by 1.6 times than that of control(none added any antioxidant). Therefore the fact suggested that WPI could be utilized as a good antioxidative agents.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of grape seed oil on quality characteristics of pressed ham. Five different treatments were tested based on differences in the amount of grape seed oil added to the pressed ham. As a control, 10% back fat was added without any grape seed oil. For the first treatment, 10% grape seed oil replaced a portion of the lard component added to the pressed ham. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4th treatments, 20%, 30% and 40% of grape seed oil were substituted for lard, respectively. Pressed ham manufactured with grape seed oil was vacuum packaged and stored for 1, 7, 14,21 and 28 d at $4^{\circ}C$. Samples were analyzed for chemical composition, physico-chemical properties (pH, color) and texture characteristics. Typical chemical composition characteristics (crude protein, crude fat, crude ash) were not significantly different between control and grape seed oil treatment groups. Moisture content of grape seed oil treatment groups (GSO 30% and 40%) was significantly lower than that of controls (p<0.05). There was a not clear difference in pH between control and grape seed oil treatment groups. In the 21 d of storage, pH values of all treatments were significantly higher than those of other storage days. Meat color $(CIEL^*\;and\;b^*)$ of grape seed oil treatment group (GSO 40%) was significantly higher than that of control. Whereas meat color a value of GSO 40% treatment was significantly lower than that of control. It was not clearly changed as storage time increased. There was no significant difference in texture between control and grape seed oil treatment groups, and appeared to be unaffected by storage length. Based on these findings, we conclude that the chemical composition and texture characteristics of manufactured pressed ham were not affected by grape seed oil addition. These results also indicate that high-quality pressed ham can be manufactured with increased polyunsaturated fatty acid content.
