The purpose of this study was to characterize the reaction of Cu surface with Cu slurry and CMP performance as a function of additives in CMP slurry. The polish rate of Cu was dependent on the kind of organic acids added in slurry. It was considered that polish rate of Cu was dependent on the concentration of carboxylates and mean particle size. When the etchant and oxidant were added in slurry, the highest removal rate and lower etch rate were measured at neutral pH. The addition of etchant, oxidant and pH adjustor played key roles of CMP ability in slurry. As the pH increased, polish rate of Cu was increased by the enhanced the mechanical effects due to effective dispersion of slurry particles. Alumina abrasives was more desirable for 1st step slurry because of high removal rate of Cu and high selectivity ratio among TaN and Cu.

Cheongkukjang was prepared by addition of medicinal herb powder (from Lentinus edodes, Codonopsis lanceolata BENTH et HOOK, or Houttuynia cordata THUNB) to improve Cheongkukjang quality and functional properties. Redness and yellowness (measured using Hunter’s color values) increased with increasing amounts of medicinal herb powder, whereas lightness (the third Hunter's color value) and pH decreased. Crude protein and lipid levels of Cheongkukjang decreased with increasing amounts of added medicinal herb powder, whereas powder addition did not affect either the moisture or crude ash content of Cheongkukjang. The major organic acids of Cheongkukjang were lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, and citric acid, and acid levels increased as the proportion of medicinal herb powder in the Cheongkukjang preparation increased. The major amino acids of Cheongkukjang were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, arginine, and lysine and the principal fatty acids were linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid. Addition of medicinal herb powder to Cheongkukjang increased both crude saponin and quercetin contents. Sensory scores of Cheongkukjang containing 2% (w/v) medicinal herb powder were optimal in terms of both quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.

Aged garlic has been reported to possess beneficial pharmacological activities, including anti-stress and anti-fatigue properties, and to exert protective effects on the cardiovascular system and liver. Pine needles are widely used in folk medicine and as food additives owing to their pharmacological properties such as anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. It has long been known that combining certain phytochemicals with other phenols or organic acids can produce synergistic effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an optimal formula of aged garlic with added pine needle powder for improved antioxidant activity using the statistical technique of response surface methodology. The antioxidant activities of aged garlic mixed with pine needle powder were confirmed by measuring oxygen radical absorbance capacity and total polyphenol content. An optimized antioxidant formula was identified that contained 5.08 g aged garlic and 1.97 g pine needle powder. The antioxidant activities of the mixture prepared using this optimal formula were significantly higher than the predicted values according to an additive model. Hence, this study confirms that the addition of pine needle powder to aged garlic can improve its antioxidant activity. This study demonstrated an optimal mixing ratio to produce an aged garlic product with improved functionality through the addition of pine needle powder that could be successfully employed by the food industry to prepare functional foods.

The effects of maesil extract addition on the palatability and quality of kochujang, a traditional Korean condiment, were investigated in terms of the microbial characteristics, enzyme activities, and taste components during 100 days of fermentation. Viable cell counts of bacteria and yeast in maesil extract-added kochujang (maesil kochujang) were increased in proportion to added maesil extract from 1 to 5% during fermentation, up to 80 and 20 days, respectively and maintained $5.0{\sim}14.5{\times}10^6$ CFU/g. Activities of α-amylase, $\beta$-amylase, and protease were also increased in proportion to added maesil extract up to 20, 20, and 60 days, respectively and were higher than those of control during the aging process. The major organic acids in maesil kochujang were citric and malic acid. Composition and content of free sugar were not changed remarkably in general by the addition of maesil extract except maltose. The major free sugars of maesil kochujang were in the order of glucose>sucrose>maltose, and glucose content decreased significantly as the ratio of maesil extract increased, while maltose content increased significantly (p<0.05).

Reaction of organic chlorine containing ester, alcohol, and acids with metallic tin and zinc in dimethyl formamide solvent gave a good yield of organo metallic complex. The same reaction under a mixed U.V. irradiation could not give an appreciable yield of the complex except in the case of an elevated reaction temperature. The solvation effect of dimethyl formamide of the metallic complex formation was markedetly increased as compared to the reaction in toluene and cyclohexane. In case of chlorine containing carboxylic acid, the formation of organo chloro zinc complex of the salt was observed. The reaction of organo zinc complex with a carbonyl precursor gave the addition product together with a dimerized product. Especially the aldehyde species enhanced the formation of zinc complex. The addition reaction was simple and convenient, but the yield was not high.(30-40% for the acid, 73% for the ester, 14.6% for alcohol). The result was discussed on basis of solvent effect and the procedures were described.

This study was conducted to prolong the edible period of Kimchi by adding chitosan (0.25, 0.5%) and sodium salts of various organic acids(0.01~0.04M citrate, malate, lactate) . The edible period was estimated by measuring changes in pH. titratable acidity(TA), PH/TA ratio, ascorbic acid content and pectin fraction during Kimchi fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$. The results were compared by estimating the maturity of Kimchi fermentation. Kimchi with the chitosan showed higher pH and titratable acidity throughout the fermentation period than that without chitosan. The pH decreased during the fermentation in the order of control, 0.25% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan+Na-citrate, 0.5% chitosan+Na-malate and 0.5% chitosan+Na-lactate. But the titratable acidity increased in the order of control, 0.5% chitosan+Na-malate, 0.25% chitosan. 0.5% chitosan+Na-citrate, 0.5% chitosan and 0.5% chitosan+Na-lactate. The PH/TA ratio decreased in the order of control, 0.25% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan+Na-malate, 0.5% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan+Na-citrate and 0.5% chitosan+Na-lactate. Ascorbic acid content in Kimchi was the highest at the 3rd day and then decreased during fermentation. Ascorbic acid content in Kimchi containing 0.5% chitosan and organic acid salts was higher than others. Alcohol insoluble solids( AIS ) in Kimchi decreased during fermentation in the order of control, 0.25% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan, 0.5% chitosan+Na-palate. 7.5% chitosan+Na-lactate and 0.5% chitosan+Na-citrate. During fermentation, hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) of control increased, whereas HCI soluble pectin (HCISP) decreased. By addition of chitosan, however, the results became reverse. Chitosan addition appeared to be effective in improving preservation quality of Kimchi during fermention. The edible period become extended by using chitosan plus organic acids instead of using chitosan only. Overall. addition of 0.5% chitosan+Na-lactate seemed most effective in prolonging the edible periods during Kimchi fermentation.

Physicochemical characteristics of kochujang prepared with meju, koji and mixture of meju and koji were analyzed during fermentation in order to improve quality of traditional sikhe kochujang. Amino nitrogen content, an index of kochujang quality, was remarkably higher in kochujang prepared with p-2 koji, p-1 koji, mixture of p-2 koji and meju. Titratible acidity of kochujang slightly increased and pH of kochujang increased until 40 days of fermentation and then decreased there after. Citric acid was found as a major organic acid followed in decreasing order by malic, oxalic, succinic, acetic and lactic acids. As a free sugar, maltose, glucose and fructose were detected. Free sugar content was higher in kochujang prepared with p-1 koji than the others. The major free amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, phenylalanine and arginine, and total free amino acid content was higher in kochujang prepared with koji, and mixture of meju and koji than the one with traditional meju only. In sensory evaluation, all tested groups did not show a significant difference. This result indicates that addition of koji to sikhe kochujang influences on taste components like free sugars and free amino acids, but decisively not on the sensory properties.

Stabilities of purple sweet potato (PSP) anthocyanin pigment on pH, sugars, organic acids, metal ions, ascorbic acid and light were investigated to provide the basic information for utilization of PSP as a potential source of anthocyanin pigment. pH has a marked influences on the color of the PSP anthocyanin solution; i.e., at low pH the color of PSP was more intense and stable. It showed characteristic bathochromic shift as the pH of the solution increased. Among the sugars tested, glucose showed a protective effect on the color of PSP pigment to raise the color intensity and stability, while sucrose and fructose showed an adverse effect. Addition of organic acids greatly increased the stability of PSP anthocyanin pigment. Citric acid was found to be the most effective followed by malic. tartaric, and succinic acids. Most metal ions except $Al^{3+}$ and $Cd^{2+} were found to be detrimental effect on the stability of PSP pigment. Ascorbic acid degraded PSP pigment considerably, and had a synergistic effect with oxygen on the pigment degradation. The effect of light on PSP pigment was found to be very deleterious. The pigment degradation can be minimized by shielding the light from the pigment solution.

The fermentative conversion of food wastes into feed was investigated by seeding of mixed inoculum YM (Youngjin Environmental co.), and thermotolerant yeast Kl. marxianus. For 6 days' fermentaion, the fermentation method of 2 days' aerobic followed by 4 days' anaerobic was better for the production of organic acids and increasing total microbial population than 6 days' continuous aerobic or anaerobic fermentation. By seeding YM, the total microbial count increased about 100 times of the control group. In addition, Kl. marxianus seeding together with YM increased total viable cell count, but did not increase yeast count significantly.
