Isoflavone was extracted with various concentration of aqueous methanol using whole hypocotyls as the starting material. Whole hypocotyls were preferred as the raw material because the residue could be easily removed from the solvent after the extraction process. Extraction yield was almost constant at the methanol concentration of $20-80\%$. Most of the isoflavone was extracted within 1 hr, and the extraction yield remained almost constant thereafter. When the concentration of methanol was $80\%$, the content of total solid was reduced due to the reduced extraction of contaminating protein as the result of protein insolubilization. Among resins tested, Diaion HP-20, Amberlite XAD-16, and Amberlite IRC-50 showed the highest capacity to absorb the compound. Open column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 showed that $80\%$ aqueous ethanol was most efficient as the eluting solvent with final recovery of the phytochemical being more than $95\%$. Maximum adsorption of the phytochemical occurred at the acidic pH 2-4. When the spatial velocity was increased to 15 and more, the degree of adsorption was decreased, whereas below spatial velocity of 15, the adsorption capacity of isoflavone to the resin was almost constant. The purity of the isoflavone purified by column chromatography was $78\%$.

Interest in plant-derived food additives has increased recently, with efforts to identify natural antioxidant sources to replace synthetic antioxidants. This study evaluated the antioxidant effects of organic solvent fractions of 80% methanol extracts from Pediastrum duplex and Dactylococcopsis fascicularis microalgae. Among the solvent fractions tested, the ethyl acetate and n-hexane fractions from P duplex effectively scavenged 79.8% and 74.5% of DPPH free radicals, respectively. The chloroform fraction from D. fascicularis showed the strongest $H_2O_2$ scavenging ability (49.7%). The greatest scavenging of hydroxyl radicals (73.1%) was exhibited by the 80% methanol extract from P duplex. Aqueous residue and ethyl acetate fraction from P duplex provided the strongest nitric oxide scavenging (57.7%) and metal chelating effect (82.1%), respectively. Chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions from P duplex and n-hexane fraction from D. fascicularis exhibited significantly greater inhibition of lipid peroxidation than the commercial antioxidants. These results suggested that P duplex and D. fascicularis microalgae having potential anti oxidative compounds with various properties could be utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

In order to characterize the hydrophobic parameters of N-acetyl amino acid amides in 1-octanol/water, a theoretical calculation was carried out using a solvation free energy density model. The hydrophobicity parameters of the molecules are obtained with the consideration of the solvation free energy over the solvent volume surrounding the solute, using a grid model. Our method can account for the solvent accessible surface area of the molecules according to conformational variations. Through a comparison of the hydrophobicity of our calculation and that of other experimental/theoretical works, the solvation free energy density model is proven to be a useful tool for the evaluation of the hydrophobicity of amino acids and peptides. In order to evaluate the solvation free energy density model as a method of calculating the activity of drugs using the hydrophobicity of its building blocks, the contracture of Bradykinin potentiating pentapeptide was also predicted from the hydrophobicity of each residue. The solvation free energy density model can be used to employ descriptors for the prediction of peptide activities in drug discovery, as well as to calculate the hydrophobicity of amino acids.

인삼시료에 있는 quintozene, tolclofos-methyl 그리고 procymidone 등의 농약성분을 추출하기 위한 방법으로서 microwave를 이용할 수 있을 지의 여부와 인삼을 가공제품으로 만들기 전에 microwave를 이용하여 잔류농약 성분을 신속히 추출하여 제거시킬 수 있는지 알고자 하였다. 인삼분말 시료에 hexane을 추출용매로 이용한 microwave 추출의 최적 조건은 power 150 watts, 추출시간 2분이었고 그 추출 효율은 Soxhlet으로 7시간 동안 가열 환류 추출한 결과를 지수 100으로 하였을 때 quintozene 100, tolclofos-methyl 92, procymidone 100으로 거의 동일한 수준으로 나타났다. 그리고 microwave 추출법을 사용함으로써 실제 Soxhlet 추출법에서 사용된 용매양의 최소 7배 이상 감소시킬 수 있었고 추출 시간 또한 7시간에서 2분으로 훨씬 단축되었다. 인삼 엑기스 제조 전 잔류농약 성분의 제거 실험에 있어서 45%나 60% ethyl alcohol을 용매로 사용하고 microwave로 power 150 watts 추출시간 2분 이내로 1회 추출하여 quintozene 100%, tolclofos-methyl 69%, procymidone 83%정도의 제거효과를 얻었다.

초산, 질산, 인산이 함유된 폐혼산으로부터 인산을 분리하여 재활용하기 위한 방법으로 용매추출법을 이용하였다. 폐혼산에서 초산과 질산을 선택적으로 분리하고, 추출 잔류액에서 인산을 회수하고자 하였다. 주요 실험 변수로는 추출제 농도, 교반시간, 교반속도 등의 변화에 따른 초산, 질산, 인산의 추출거동을 조사하였다. 또한, McCabe-Thiele diagram으로부터 초산, 질산 성분의 추출 및 탈거에 필요한 이론적 단수를 조사하였다. 실험결과 인산염계 추출제를 사용할 경우 초산과 질산을 선택적으로 분리 추출이 가능하였으며, 추출제의 함량은 유기상의 50%가 적합하였다. 교반속도와 교반시간의 영향은 크게 없었으며, 상비(A/O)=1/3, 6단에서 초산과 질산을 완전히 추출 분리하여 인산을 추출잔류액에서 회수가 가능하였다.

To study the cleaning effects and post-treatment stability assessment of various methods of cleaning textiles with metal thread, six naturally-soiled historical textiles with metal thread were investigated at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Prior to the cleaning of fabricated gold, silver, and copper thread that had been glued onto a paper substrate, the artificial deterioration was carried out in a controlled environment with light(UV and daylight), and temperature and humidity factors which would weaken and damage the samples. A synthetic soil mixture was applied to the samples to imitate soil found on the historic and archaeological textiles with metal thread; the cleaning effect and post-treatment assessment were investigated by use of three textile cleaning methods: mechanical cleaning, wet cleaning, and solvent cleaning. While investigating the naturally-soiled textiles with metal thread, it was determined that the soil colors and sizes of contaminating particles of each textile were different due to the diversity of original environmental factors and conditions. After cleaning with kneaded rubber, Stoddard solvent, n-decane or n-hexane, a bright, clean effect was apparent. Kneaded rubber was successful in picking up both large and small particles, but its stickiness caused some of the metal leaf to peel off. Stoddard solvent produced a good cleaning effect, but after use of n-hexane and n-decane in the cleaning process, a white layer of residue remained on the textile's surface. Wet cleaning was not effective and the rapid humidity changes between wet and dry conditions caused the edges of the paper substrate to lose their original shape.

A new inhibitor for peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) has been isolated from Ganoderma lucidum and purified to homogeneous state by organic solvent extraction. The purified PPIase inhibitor (GPI) is assumed to be a membrane-associated glycoprotein. GPI inhibits specifically the bovine brain PPIase, a cyclophilin, and has no effect on the FKBP activity. The results of our chemical modification study of GPI indicate the presence of Lys residue(s) at or near its binding site. Like CsA-cyclophilin complex, GPI-bovine brain PPIase complex strongly inhibits the calcineurin activity in vitro, suggesting the possible involvement of GPI in immunomodulating pathway by the formation of PPIase-inhibitor-calcineurin complex.

Melamine is a chemical intermediate to manufacture amino resins and plastics, which cannot be used as food additive since it can cause kidney stones. A qualitative determination method of melamine residue in powdered and liquid milk was developed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic technique. The calibration sets consisted of 21 standard melamine solutions, in which 1% trichloroacetic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile (3:1, v/v) were used as solvent. The model was validated using 10 standard melamine solutions which were unused to build up the calibration set. Infrared (IR) absorbance peaks specific to almost all chemical groups in melamine molecule were shown in the spectral range between 1,100 and 1,800/cm. Combined partial least squares (PLS)-$2^{nd}$ derivative calibration model coupled with mean centering (MC) mathematical enhancement showed the highest correlation coefficients ($R^2$>0.99). In brief, the FTIR technique can be used for quantitative analysis of melamine in milk samples.

Tetraaza Schiff base macrocyclic ligands, $L^1$,$L^2$ and their transition metal chelates have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic, EPR and $^1H$ NMR spectra, TGA and magnetic measurements. The molar conductance of one milli-molar solution of the complexes measured in DMF indicates that the divalent metal complexes are nonelectrolyte while those of trivalent metal ion, are 1:1 electrolytic in the same solvent. The reduction of Racah parameter from the free ion value confirms the presence of considerable covalence of metal ligand sigma bond in the Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes. The EPR spectra of Cu(II) complexes at room temperature shows axial symmetry indicating a $d_x{^2}_{-y}{^2}$ ground state with significant covalent character. The thermal analysis suggests that the complexes do not contain water molecules because only the metal is left as residue.

A sequential copolypeptide with repeating unit sequences, in which a glycyl residue is flanked progressively by two ${\gamma}$-benzyl-L-glutamyl residues, has been synthesized by poymerizing p-nitrophenyl ester of ${\gamma}$-benzyl-L-glutamyl-${\gamma}$ -benzyl-L-gutamyl-glycine. Polymers obtained were characterized by viscosity and infra-red spectral data. The highest molecular weight obtained was 21,000. Molecular conformation in solid state was found to be a mixed form of and |${\beta}$-structure. Polymers obtained were insoluble in the most of the organic solvents except in a strong acid like dichloroacetic acid, but in binary mixtures of solvents such as dichloroacetic acid-ethylene dichloride or dichloroacetic acid-chloroform, they were soluble within certain ranges of solvent compositions.
