Biodiesel is manufactured from vegetable oils, etc. in reaction with methanol so that the product of biodiesel may be dangerous due to the methanol remained of it. The risks of methanol remained in biodiesel were studied by measuring flash points and dynamic viscosity to some samples of biodiesel by adding methanol to a certain percentage of. The results of flash points of biodiesel are decreased in accordance with increasing of methanol in biodiesel and also decreasing the dynamic viscosity. It was shown that the risks of explosion of biodiesel are significantly high due to lower flash points resulted from methanol remained in biodiesel fuel as a reactant or adding to biodiesel for reduction of viscosity.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers are found naturally in foods, such as milk, milk products, beef and others, from biohydrogenation of vegetable oils. They are heterogenous group of isomers of linoleic acid in the family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among the isomers of linoleic acid cis9, trans11- CLA (c9, t11-CLA) and trans10, cis12- CLA (t10, c12-CLA) are found to be biologically active isomers. These biologically active isomers either individual or combined found to be health beneficial in various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and atherosclerosis, conclusive participation in physiological processes are necessary. This review focused on the current study of CLA in prevention of disease, such as cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis, and their effective function in body fat reduction, improvement of bone and muscle mass at a cellular, clinical and systematic level.

In these days, there has been increased focus on global warming and the exhaustion of resources caused by the heavy consumption of fossil resources. In order to resolve these problems, biomass is increasingly gaining international attention as a source of renewable energy. Biodiesel fuel produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats is expected to be one of the eco-friendly biomass based alternatives to petrodiesel. This article reviews some of the research for effective of biodiesel production.

식물유, 어유 및 축산 폐기물을 포함한 동식물성 기름은 어느 연료든지 기관의 연료로서 사용 가능하지만, 이들 연료는 점도가 높고, 저휘발성이어서 착화지연기간동안에 가연성혼합기 생성이 어려워 저 NOx이며, 정숙한 운전이 사능할 뿐 아니라 경유정도의 열소비율 및 배기 매연농도로 디젤기관의 대체 연료로서의 충분한 가능성이 있는 연료임을 확인하였다. 그러나, 고점도에 의한 분무 특성의 악화에 기인한 분무입자의 증대로 미연소분에 의한 carbon deposit 및 piston ring stick 등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 그러나, 이같은 문제점의 해결책으로 경질유와의 혼합, 에스테르 변환 및 연료의 가열등 여러 해결책을 제시하였고, 배기가스분석결과도 양호함을 확인하였다. 이같은 biomass 연료 일종인 식물유가 아무런 변화없이 이용되기 위해서는 고과급화, 단열 및 연소실의 적절한 설계가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 현재의 실황을 생각한다면 기존기관을 특별하게 개조함이 없이 사용을 전제로 할 때 식물유의 이용은 local 에너지로서, 생산, 전환 또는 이용기술의 개발과 동시에 화석에너지의 보충적인 에너지로 고려하는 것이 유효할 것으로 생각된다.

Novel surfactants have been synthesized by catalytic chloropropoxylation reaction of carboxylic acid fractions of sunflower, olive, cottonseed, soya-bean, castor and corn oils with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane. Colloidal-chemical parameters as well as petroleum-collecting and petroleum-dispersing capacities of the synthesized chloropropoxylate esters having heterochain of various lengths have been determined. Influence of carboxylic acid fractions composition and length of chloroxypropylene chain on petroleum-collecting and dispersing capacities has been revealed.

The laboratory quench method used in this study is based on plunging a silver cylinder heated to 800.deg. C in to mineral oil and vegetable at given temperature. Experimental apparatus and measuring method followed Korean Industrial Standard. Colling curves at the boundary of the cylinder measured by a silver-alumel thermocouple is recorded throughout the quenching period. Using the cooling curves, the coolingability of the quenching oils at various temperatures were compared and discussed.

This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity capacity of extracted seed oils by pressure method using domestic plant resources as a cosmetics material. Four type of oil were extracted from pumpkin seed, camellia seed, red pepper seed, peanut. The extracted seed oils were analyzed for fatty acid composition by GCMS, The antioxidant activity evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical cation decolorization activity. Pumpkin seed oil(PSO), camellia seed oil(CSO), peanut oil(PO) showed higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acid than saturated fatty acid. After heat treatment, the content of unsaturated fatty acids was higher than that of saturated fatty acids except for red pepper seed oil(RSO). In the result of DPPH, ABTS antioxidant activity, RSO were the highest 87.84%, 76.72% at the $200{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$, PSO, PO and CSO were the highest antioxidant activities at the $1000{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$. Compared with the positive control olive oil, DPPH radical scavenging activity of RSO, PSO and PO showed higher than the control. ABTS radical cation decolorization activity of RSO and PSO is stronger than the control. After heat treatment, the antioxidant activity capacity showed a slight difference, four type of oils is expected as having potential to be useful as a cosmetic material.

The purpose of this study was to provide the fundamental information for establishing the database needed to estimate total intakes of trans fatty acids in Korea. The amounts of trans fatty acids contained in 164 samples including 25 samples of margarines, 21 samples of shortenings, 19 samples of vegetable salad and cooking oils, 53 samples of confectionery products, 18 samples of bakery products, 19 samples of dairy products, and 9 samples of animal fats and meats were analyzed by capillary gas liquid chromatography. The average amounts of trans fatty acids in those foods were calculated and expressed as gram per one serving. Then, the average daily intakes of trans fatty acids per capita were estimated using the analyzed amounts of trans fatty acids and the amount of yearly production for those foods. The amounts of trans fatty acids per 100 g of lipids were $2.11{\sim}33.83%$ (14.66% on average) in margarines, $1.47{\sim}44.48%$ (14.21% on average) in shortenings, $0.18{\sim}3.82$ (1.54% on average) in vegetable salad and cooking oils, $0{\sim}45.81%$ (10.92% on average) in confectionery products, $0{\sim}18.32%$ (7.87% on average) in bakery products, $0.90{\sim}4.54%$ (2.27% on average) in dairy products, and $0.61{\sim}6.07%$ (2.24% on average) in animal fats and meats. Major isomers of trans fatty acid in the sample foods were $C_{18:1}$ and $C_{18:2}$. As a result, the korean average daily intake of trans fatty acids in korea was estimated to be 2.3 g per capita. The amounts of trans fatty acids consumed from each selected food were as follows: 0.35 g from margarines, 0.57 g from shortenings, 0.11 g from vegetable salad and cooking oils, 0.65 g from confectionery products, 0.07 g from bakery products, 0.14 g from dairy products and 0.21 g from animal fats and meats.

Fatty acid composition of sesame oil could be distinguished from that of rapeseed oil and soybean oil by the content of linolenic acid. The relative composition of each fatty acid revealed the clear difference between sesame oil and other vegetable oils except corn oil. Ricebran oil was different from sesame oil in the relative composition of palmitic acid with respect to stearic acid and cottonseed oil in oleic acid to linoleic acid. ${\delta}^{13}C$ of corn oil was $19.40%_{\circ}$, in oleic acid and $-17.11%_{\circ}$, in linoleic acid, while that of sesame oil was $-27.60%_{\circ}$ in oleic acid and $-27.70%_{\circ}$ in linoleic acid. Therefore, most adulterant could be detected by comparing the ratio of fatty acids in vegetable oils except corn oil. It could, however, be detected by comparing carbon isotope ratio in the case of corn oil.

Sesame oils are partially mixed with other vegetable oils due to high price in a Korean market. To find out authentic sesame oil, a mass spectrometer-based electronic nose (MS-based E-nose) was used. Sesame oil (Se) was blended with soybean oil (So) or corn oil (Co) at the ratio (Se:So, Se:Co) of 97:3, 94:6, 91:9, 88:12 and 85:15, respectively. Intensities of each fragment from sesame oil by MS-based E-nose were completely different from those of soybean oil or corn oil. The obtained results were used for discriminant function analysis (DFA). Volatile organic components (VOC) of soybean oil or corn oil were similar to those of fresh air and DFA plot indicated a significant separation of pure sesame oil and pure other oil. The group of the mixed oil was seperated with that of sesame oil in DFA plot and the added amount of soybean oil to sesame oil was correlated with discriminant function first score (DF1). MS based E-nose system could be used as an efficient method to investigate the purity of sesame oil.
