To obtain basic data for the development of domestic tea manufacture, the physico-chemical properties were analyzed. The content of crude fiber in domestic black tea was abundant of 50%, as compared with those in Sri-Lanka's black tea, while the contents of tanin and caffeine were lower than those of Sri-Lanka's Products. The quantities of mineral in Sri-Lanka's products were determined as 300ppm P, 15,000ppm K, 1,400ppm Mg, 4,000ppm Ca, 22ppm Cu, 21ppm Cr and 45ppm Zn. These contents were higher than those of domestic products. Al content was 4,100ppm in domestic products. Pb and Cd were not detected in two kinds of black tea products. In Sri-Lanka's black tea, 8 kinds of organic acids were identified and the major organic acids were shikimic, citric and quinic acid, while 6 kinds of organic acids were identified in domestic products and were quinic and gallic acid, as the major organic acids. The content of sucrose was higher than that of Sri-Lanka's product and theaflavin, thearubigin and theobromine were abundant, as compared with those in domestic products.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of fermentation and quality of Cheongju prepared by mashing using rice Nuruk inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae. Mashes were prepared by fermentation for 30-50 days using different amounts of fermenting agent, brewing water, milling ratios and fermenting temperatures. Adding fermenting agent at 15% resulted in slow fermentation, but a final alcohol content of 17% (v/v), similar to other samples tested. Addition of higher amounts of Nuruk resulted in increased amounts of citric acid, tartaric acid and malic acid, but low levels of succinic acid. Incomplete fermentation occurred when the ratio of brewing water was low, but the alcohol content (17%) of all samples was similar. When the amount of brewing water was high, the organic acid was levels were high. The speed of saccharification and fermentation was low when fermentation was conducted at $10^{\circ}C$, but the final alcohol content was the highest at this temperature. However, the content of n-propanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol and organic acid was low at low temperature. At this time, the content of citric acid and malic acid was low, but the content of succinic acid was high. A higher milling degree resulted in a lower content of alcohol, organic acid and higher alcohols, with 10% milling resulting in a significantly higher content than the other samples.

In this present study, Aspergillus niger NRRL 567 was cultivated on an inert support material and the effects of various fermentation parameters including temperature, nutrient solution pH, inoculation level, and moisture content were observed and optimized by one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) and response surface methodology (RSM), sequentially. It was found that the incubation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ with 75% moisture content, nutrient solution pH of 7.1 and inoculation level of $4.0{\times}10^6$ spores/ml were the most favorable. Again, fermentation parameters were optimized using RSM. The determined optimum condition is $26.5^{\circ}C$, pH 9.9, 75.1%, and $6.0{\times}10^6$ spores/ml. Under this optimized condition, A. niger NRRL 567 produced 118.8 g citric acid/kg dry peat moss at 72 hr. Maximum citric acid production of optimized condition by RSM represented a 1.6-fold increase compared to that obtained from control experiment.

The present study was conducted to know the physicochemical properties of non fermented tea and fermented teas with the fermented time of 0 hr (non fermented tea), 10 hrs, 17 hrs (semi-fermented tea), 24 hrs (black tea), respectively The moisture content of non fermented tea, semi fermented, and black tea was 3.01% ~ 3.29%. The contents of reducing sugar, crude lipid, crude protein were increased and that of ascorbic acid was decresed with fermentation. The total contents of those increased as tea was more fermented. The contents of the citric acid and the malic acid were increased with fermentation, but the content of the succinic acid was decreased. However, the total content of organic acid was generally increased with fermentation. The total content of the amino acid was increased with fermentation. In non fermented tea, Thr+theanine, the Asp, and the Glu, were determined in order of content. In semi-fermented tea and black tea, Ter+theanine, Glu, and Asp were determined in order of content. The rate of essential amino acid in the total content of free amino acid was increased with fermentation. The content of theanine was 1.21% in non fermented tea and 1.50% in black tea. The contents of theanine were increased as tea was more fermented. The content of caffein was 3.57% in non fermented tea and 3.55 ~ 3.60% in semi-fermented tea and black tea. These results were inconsistent in the content of caffein. Five kinds of catechin, that is, cathechin, epigallocathechin, epicathechin, epigallocathechin gallate, and epicathechin gallate were extracted. The content of catechin was 14.18% in non fermented tea, but decreased sharply as tea was more fermented.

Coated citric acid as an acidulant was prepared to be used as a stable food additive. Sensory evaluation of chocolate products with the coated acidulant additive was performed to improve sensory preference tendency in chocolate product. When the ratio of coated acidulant was varied on the preparation of dark (0, 1, 2 wt%), milk (0, 1, 2 wt%) and white (0, 2, 4, 6 wt%) chocolate, 1 wt% (dark and milk) or 2 wt% (white) addition showed better preference than that of 0% sample in overall acceptability. Under the condition of the same coated acidulant content (1% or 2%), the white chocolate showed best sensory evaluation result in sweet, sour taste and overall acceptability.

G $d_{0.2}$C $e_{0.8}$ $O_{1.9}$(CGO) for electrolyte and L $a_{0.5}$S $r_{0.5}$Mn $O_3$(LSM50) for cathode in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells(SOFC) were synthesized by citrate process. Specimens were prepared with sintering temperatures at 110$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$ and 130$0^{\circ}C$, which were fabricated by slurry coating with citric acid contents. Interfacial resistance was measured between cathode and electrolyte using AC-impedance analyzer. With various citric acid content, the degree of agglomeration for the initial particles changed. Also sintering temperature changed the particle size and the degree of densification of cathode. Factors affecting the interfacial resistance were adherent degree of the electrolyte and cathode, distribution of TPB(three phase boundaries, TPB i.e., electrolyte/electrode/gas phase area) and porosity of cathode. By increasing the sintering temperature, particle size and densification of the cathode were increased. And then, TPB area which occurs catalytic reaction was reduced and so interfacial resistance was increased.sed.sed.d.

Carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(ethylene glycol) (CMC/PEG) hydrogels crosslinked with citric acid (CA) are synthesized to evaluate the effect of CMC molecular weight (Mw), PEG and CA concentration on the optical property, swelling rate (SR), degradation rate (DR), and cytotoxicity and cell proliferation of hydrogels. For crosslinked CMC/PEG hydrogels, the FT-IR peak intensity associated with hydroxyl groups decreases due to PEG intercalation (esterification crosslinking) between CMC chains in a similar manner as the concentration of CA crosslinker increases. Crosslinked CMC (Mw = 90,000)/PEG hydrogels with 10 % CA dissolve regardless of PEG content. However, the SR of the CMC (Mw = 250,000)/PEG hydrogels decrease from 4923 % to 168 % with increasing PEG and CA concentrations from 0 to 20 % and from 0 to 25 %, respectively. As the Mw of CMC increases, the DR of the hydrogel is greatly improved. CMC (Mw = 250,000)/PEG10 hydrogels with 10 % CA exhibit the optimum properties of high absorbing capacity (3,200 %) with moderate DR (54 %), stiffness (1.39 ± 0.19 GPa), and cell viability (94.8 ± 1.3 %). CA-crosslinked CMC/PEG hydrogels are highly suitable for wound dressing or personal care applications due to their non-toxicity, good cell proliferation, SR, and mechanical properties.

Effect on iron dissolution from iron sauce pans treated with the acetic, malic, citric acid and concentration(0. 0.02. 0.04. 0.1, 0.2, 0.4. 1.0, 2.0, 4.0%) of acidity, boiling times(0, 10. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60mins.) and temperature(5, 20, 40. 60, 80, 10$0^{\circ}C$) of acidity solution and in new and used sauce pans was investigated. As acetic acid concentration increases, iron content has increased. Iron dissolution concentration from iron sauce pan for boiling in malic acid increased more than that of acetic acid and citric acid. At above 6$0^{\circ}C$, as temperature increases, concentration of iron dissolved from iron sauce pan has increased. As boiling time increases, concentration of iron dissolved from iron sauce pan has also increased. Concentration of iron by repeated use has increased. And iron concentration has dissolved in large amount from new pan rather than used pan. Concentration of iron with distilled water by repeated use has increased only slightly. But 1% acetic acid has dissolved in large quantities.

Physicochemical properties of Gugija-sugar leaching were investigated by adding sugar ratio on Gugija (Lycii fructus) raw fruit. Gugija were prepared by parboiling ($40{\sim}50$ sec at $85^{\circ}C$) and unparboiling. Gugija-sugar leaching were leached after preserving (5 months at $5^{\circ}C$) Gugija-sugar mixture (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% sugar based on raw Gugija). The yield increased with UPRGSL-4 (Gugija-sugar leaching adding 80% sugar) having the highest yield at 77.5%; in contrast, total acidity decreased with increasing ratio of sugar. The main organic acids of raw Gugija are tartaric acid (0.63%), citric acid (0.57%), malic acid (0.54%) and succinic acid (0.3%). Citric acid and succinic acid decreased with increasing ratio of sugar but malic acid and tartaric acid increased on Gugija-sugar leaching. Polyphenolics and betaine content of unparboiling Gugija-sugar leaching decreased as increase ratio of sugar but in term of used Gugija amount, betaine content of each Gugija-sugar leaching was equal to raw Gugija. Also, parboiling Gugija-sugar leaching decreased quickly with increasing ratio of sugar, especially PRGSL-4 and PRGSL-5 (parboiling Gugija-80 and 100% sugar leaching, respectively) was not determined. 15 types of free amino acids were detected in raw Gugija; the total content was 601.6 mg/100 g and the highest amino acid among them was serine, 218.1 mg/100 g. In PRGSL-4 prepared by parboiling, 9 kinds of free amino acid were detected and the total content was 383.3 mg/100g. Also, in UPRGSL-4 (unparboiling Gugija-80% sugar leaching), all 17 kinds were detected and its total content was 705.7 mg/100 g.
