Solvent extraction experiments have been performed to separate Nd and Sm from chloride solution with PC88A. The effect of the saponification of PC88A on the extraction and separation of the two metals were studied. In the experimental ranges conducted in this study, the distribution coefficients of Sm were higher than those of Nd and separation factor between them increased with the equilibrium pH of aqueous solution. Saponification of PC88A enhanced the distribution coefficients of Sm and Nd and the separation factor. A chemical model was developed to predict the distribution coefficients of metals and separation factor from the initial extraction conditions. The measured distribution coefficients of Nd and Sm with PC88A and saponified PC88A agreed well with those calculated in this study.

Vinyl acetate(VAc) was dispersion-polymerized using supercritical carbon dioxide that has many environmental advantages. To get poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) of larger molecular weights from conventional emulsion polymerization, VAc was polymerized at temperatures between 333.15 and 343.15 K and pressures between 20 and 40 MPa with initiator (0.5 ~ 5% of monomer) and silicone-based stabilizer (1 ~ 10% of monomer) for 2 ~ 50 hr. The resulting PVAc was analyzed to see the variations in the yield and the molecular weight. The final product of this research, PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)), was prepared from PVAc by saponification. The effect of saponification conditions on the yield and the molecular weight of polymer were also studied.

In this study, the separation of samarium to neodymium with Karr column was investigated. Separation properties of Sm/Nd binary system was estimated with experimental parameters such as flow rate, initial pH of aqueous phase, saponification of PC88A in organic phase and agitation speed. The extraction rate and distribution coefficient increased with increasing initial pH of aqueous phase at 16.5 ml/min(retention time 10 minute) of flow rate of organic and aqueous phase, and equilibrium pH of aqueous phase after extraction was maintained at 1.5 by saponified PC88A. Also, the extraction rate and distribution coefficient were drastically increased with increasing saponification degree of PC88A and agitation speed, and optimal saponification degree was $40\%$. Extraction rate of Nd and Sm was $19.6\%$ and $72.5\%$ respectively at retention time 10 minute, initial pH 1, saponification degree $40\%$ and agitation speed 120 rpm.

Alkaline hydrolysis to improve the hand of PET/acetate union fabric was studied in relation to skin saponification and retarding effect of salts on the alkaline hydrolysis of cellulose acetate fiber, accelerating effect of salts on the alkaline hydrolysis of PET fiber, and changes of total hand value(T.H.V) of PET/acetate union fabric treated with alkali/salt solution. It was found that the rate of saponification of acetate was delayed by the addition of salts such as LiCl, NaCl and CH$_{3}$COONa into NaOH solution below 10 minutes. The rate of shrinkage of acetate fabric treated with 5g/l NaOH solution at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and 60 minutes showed 20 % but it was decreased 8% by. the addition of 120g/l Concentration of inorganic salts. We could know that the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of filament yarn treated with alkali solution at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and 60 minutes was delayed about 3 % using 2,000T/M of hard twist yarn, especially acetate filament treated with alkali solution at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and 10 minutes was delayed about 10%. T.H.V. of PET/acetate union fabric was increased from 2.77 to 3.04~3.18 by the addition of salts into alkali solution.

Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/montmorillonite (MMT) clay nanocomposite microspheres with a core/shell structure have been developed via a suspension polymerization approach. In order to prepare the PVAc/ MMT and PVAc/PVA/MMT nanocomposite microspheres, which are promising precursor of PVA/MMT nanocomposite microspheres, suspension polymerization of vinyl acetate with organophilic MMT and heterogeneous saponification were conducted. A quaternary ammonium salt, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, was mixed with the MMT in the monomer phase prior to the suspension polymerization. The rate of conversion decreased with an increase in MMT concentration. The incorporation of MMT into the PVAc was verified by FT-IR spectroscopy. Organic vinyl acetate monomers were intercalated into the interlayer regions of organophilic clay hosts and followed by suspension polymerization. Partially saponified PVA/MMT nanocomposite microspheres with a core/shell structure were successfully prepared by heterogeneous saponification.

Malachite green (MG) has been used world-widely in aquaculture as a parasiticide or fungicide. Although MG performed successfully, it has not been permitted for use in aquaculture from European Union, USA, and Canada because of its carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. We developed a sensitive and specific method to determine MG and its principal metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), respectively by isotope dilution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS). To enhance the extraction recovery of MG and LMG from fish tissue, an additional step, saponification, was introduced in sample preparation process to remove fat in sample extract, which hampered the performance of SPE columns. The residue of MG and LMG in fish was analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode by monitoring at m/z 329 and 334 for MG and $d_5$-MG and at m/z 331 and 337 for LMG and $^{13}C_6$-LMG, respectively. This method was validated by comparing with the value of the reference material provided by Laboratory Government Chemistry (LGC). The results agreed within the measurement uncertainty and the accuracy was much improved than the provided reference value by LGC.

To develop mil fat fractions with desirable physico-chemical properties, anhydrous milk fat (AMF) was fractionated by one- and two-stage extractions using supercritical $CO_2$(SC-$CO_2$). Tow-stage extraction of AMF was performed by first producing tow fractions, an extract and a residue at 4$0^{\circ}C$/241bar, which were subsequently used as the feed for an extraction at 6$0^{\circ}C$/241bar and 4$0^{\circ}C$/345bar, and separated into five and four fractions, respectively, based one extraction time. These fractions were quantified and analyzed for fatty acids and physico-chemical properties. SHort-chain (C4~C8) fatty acids in extract fractions from an extract were 200~150% compared with those of the original AF. Long-chain (C14~C18) fatty acids in extract fractions from a residue were 118~141%. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids in the residue fraction was 131%. Melting point ranged from 22 to 43$^{\circ}C$, iodine value 21.8 to 36.9, and saponification value 255 to 221 in the extract and residue fractions. SC-$CO_2$ fractionation of AMF by two-stage extraction offers the possibility of developing ractions with discrete fatty acid compositions and physico-chemical properties such as melting point, iodine value and saponification value.

An isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was developed as a primary method for the quantitative analysis of cholesterol in infant formula. Cholesterol-d₄ was used as an internal standard and spiked into the infant formula sample. In order to release cholesterol out of cholesteryl ester, which is cholesterol bound to fatty acids in infant formula, saponification was carried out. Saponification conditions were optimized with heating temperature, reaction time and the concentration of KOH. The optimum conditions were as follows; heating temperature was 70 ℃, reaction time was 180 min and the concentration of KOH was 0.8 mL of 8 M KOH for about 0.1 g infant formula sample. Extraction of cholesterol out of sample solution was carried out with hexane uisng liquid-liquid extraction. Chromatographic analysis was carried out using Phenomenex Kinetex C₁₈ column. Mobile phase was 0.1% acetic acid in methanol/water (v/v, 99/1) and flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. Cholesterol and cholesterol-d₄ were monitored at mass transfer m/z 369/259 and 373/263 respectively. Reproducibility of the method was evaluated to be 0.23% of the measurement result. The expanded uncertainty of the measurement result of cholesterol in infant formula was approximately 1.9% at a 95% confidence level. NIST standard reference material having certified values of cholesterol in infant formula, was analyzed in order to verify this method. The ID-LC/MS/MS results were well agreed with the certified values of NIST SRM within the uncertainty.

The objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant activities of rice bran extracts by three different extraction methods. Rice bran was extracted by solvent extraction, saponification extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. The antioxidant activities of the rice bran extracts were determined based on ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities, reducing power, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity. The unsaponifiable matter (USM) extracted by the saponification method showed higher ABTS (671.7 mg Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)/g) and DPPH (330.7 mg TEAC/g) radical scavenging activities as well as reducing power ($A_{700}=1.14$) than those of the solvent extract (ME) and supercritical fluid extract (SFE). Inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation was higher in USM (68.7%) and SFE (75.4%) compared to ME (47.8%). USM indicated relatively higher antioxidant activities compared with those of SFE and ME. These results show that the saponification method for extraction of USM from rice bran extracted was the most effective method for enhancement of antioxidant activity. In addition, these extracts from rice bran could be used as functional ingredients in the food industry.
