The effects of pretreatment on the lipid oxidation of korean geoduck muscle during storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were investigated. In the lipid compositions of geoduck muscle, neutral, glycolipid, and phospholipid contents were $46.1\%,\;4.5\%\;and\;49.5\%$, respectively. And the content of phospholipid decreased to $39.9\%$ by blanching. In the fatty acids composition, $C_{16:0},\;C_{20:5}\;and\;C_{22:6}$ fatty acids were major portions and their contents showed, respectively, $10\%$ of total fatty acids amount or more. $C_{18:0},\;C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{14:0}\;and\;C_{20:1}$ fatty acids were also important fatty acids and their amounts were so much as $5\%$ or more. The polyunsaturated fatty acid contents were relatively high as $39.25\%{\sim}42.60\%$. POV in RM and VM samples increased gradually and showed 3.72meq/kg, or 3.00meq/kg after 90 days storage, respectively. However, in case of samples pretreated by blanching, there was slightly increase of POV throughout storage. From the results above, it was suggested that the pretreatment of blanching was effective in retardation of lipid oxidation for the longterm storage.

Marine organisms were investigated to identify the marine actinomycetes that produced noble bioactive compounds. Microorganism counts range from $2.1{\times}10^3\;to\;1.2{\times}10\;CFU/g$ of marine organisms. Actinomycetes constituted 0.01 to $0.5\%$ of culturable microbial community. We identified the marine actinomycetes that produced novel bioactive compounds. During the course of screening for bioactives from the marine microorganisms, we found that the strain in sponge had antimicrobial activities. From the morphological, cultural and various physiological characteristics, this strain was identified for Actinomycetes No. 101. The optimal compositions of culture medium for Actinomycetes No. 101 were starch 30g/l as carbon source, casamino acid 10g/l as nitrogen source. The optimal pH of medium and fermentation temperature were $6.5{\sim}7.0$ and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Fermentation has been conducted in the marine broth at $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 hour. The yield of fermentation got about 3g as dry weight(per liter of broth). The distribution of antimicrobial activity of Actinomycetes No. 101 was screened by paper disc. The extract of cultured cell and broth inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, but the inhibition action was week against yeast and mold.

The granitoids in the Mt. Geumjeong, Busan can be divided into granodiorite, hornblende granite, adamellite, tonalite, biotite granite and micrographic granite. The geochemical characteristics of the Mt. Geumjeong granites indicate that they were crystallized from a calc-alkaline series and that they belong to Ⅰ-type granitic rocks which evolved from granodioritic magma into hornblende granite, adamellite, biotitie granite, and finally micrographic granite through fractional crystallization of plagioclase. The crystallization pressures and temperatures of the minimum melt compositions of the granitic rocks were estimated to about 1∼5 kbar and 720∼700℃. The trace element composition and REE patterns, characterized by a high LILE/HFSE ratio and enrichments in LREE, indicate typical continental margin arc calc-alkaline rocks produced in the subduction environment. The Rb-Sr isotopic data for the Mt. Geumjeong granites define a well-defined isochron yielding as age of 69.6±1.9 Ma with an initial Sr isotopic ratio of 0.70503.

Sphene U-Pb ages were determined for the granodiorites from Gimcheon, Seongju and Anui areas of the middle Yeongnam massif. The determined ages were in the narrow range of 195.7±2.4∼200.8±1.9(2σ) Ma that are approximately coincident with the boundary between Triassic and Jurassic. Even though the studed plutons are aerially separated, they reveal quite similar major element compositions and almost identical ages, suggesting that they were generated from the similar source materials under the identical tectonic environment and thus they can be considered to form a single suite. Considering the age and spatial distribution of the Triassic to Lower Jurassic plutons of the Yeongnam Massif and Okcheon Belt, it seems that there were episodic changes in tectonic environment in both areas with relatively short intervals. In general, the compressive environment of active continental margin was prevailed. However, the tensional environment of within-plate was also appeared several times intermittently. In conclusion, Yeongnam Massif and Okcheon Belt experienced distinct tectonic environments during Triassic to Lower Jurassic, providing important clue to reveal the crustal evolution of the Korean Peninsula.

Hornblende geobarometry has been applied to estimate the emplacement depth of the Jurassic Yeongiu, Andong, and Gimcheon granites in the Yeongnam Massif. Geobarometry was determined from the twenty two samples of the Yeongiu granite, ten samples of the Andong granite and twelve samples of the Gimcheon granite, using the composition of hornblende rims coexisting with the mineral assemblage required for pressure determination. Amphibole compositions in the three granites vary from edenite to ferropargasite with the increase of pressure. According to the equation of Schmidt(1992), the pressures of emplacement of the Yeongiu, Andong, and Gimcheon granites are 5.6 to 7.9 kb, 5.5 to 7.5 kb, and 4.1 kb to 5.3 kb, respectively. The emplacement depth in the Yeongiu granites increase systematically from about 6 kb in the northwest to about 7.5 kb in the southeast. Andong granite shows no systematic change of the pressure estimates. The Gimcheon granite shows almost consistent pressure distribution. The pressure difference of about 1.5 kb across the Yeongiu granite may be explained by a model combining late postemplacement upsurge of a deeper part of the pluton in the south with tilting of the batholith by Yecheon shear zone.

This study analyzed ancient documents and established petrological database through extensive field investigation of provenance sites to presume stone source areas of the Seoul City Wall. By summarizing the ancient documents, the rampart stone was mostly supplied from a stony mountain adjacent to the City Wall in the early Joseon period, whereas the stone was provided from fixed quarry outside the City Wall in the late Joseon period. As a result of the petrological investigation based on quarries recorded in the ancient documents, pinkish granite and leucogranite were distributed as a whole, and the granitoid rocks are similar in mineralogical compositions and geochemical behavior characteristics. However, the pinkish granite with magnetic-series show that the magnetic susceptibility increased from the north slope of Namsan Mountain to Bulamsan Mountain. The leucogranite with ilmenite-series mainly occurred along the boundary between granite and gneiss from Yongmasan Mountain to Inwangsan Mountain. Consequently, the important petrological indicators for presumption of stone source areas are the rock color and the magnetic susceptibility. In addition to the petrological features, the reliability for provenance interpretation should improve considering stone quantities in the quarries, transportation distance and technical skills.

Precambrian granitic gneisses and Cambrian meta-sedimentary rocks are prevalently distributed in the eastern part of the Taebaegsan region, and biotite granitic batholith of the Jurassic period (?) is found in the southern part of Uljin-si. But small scale leucocratic granitic stocks which commonly found here and there have been rather neglected in the previous studies. The presence of leucocratic granites could be differentiated from the older granitic rocks and biotite granite through the outcrop characteristics, mineral species and geochemical compositions. For the effective comparison between the older granitic rocks and leucocratic ones, pale gray to gray coloured Hongjesa granitic gneiss with granular texture was selectively chosen. The Hongjesa granitic gneiss and biotite granite usually have rather plenty of coloured minerals such as biotite and chlorites. But the leucocratic granites often show sericitic alteration due to the albitization and greisenisation during the post-magmatic alteration, and shows rather bright appearance because of poor amount of coloured minerals. Since all of granitic rocks passed rather high degrees of magmatic differentiation, they belong to calc-alkalic and peraluminous in their characters. Among the alkali elements of the leucocratic rocks $K_2O$ shows higher increase than those of the other granitic rocks, and $Na_2O$ only represents slight decrease than those of the Hongjesa granitic gneiss and Uljin granite. On the other hand, CaO and total Fe content are clearly decreased than those of the Hongjesa granitic gneiss and Uljin granite.

The chemical components and anti-oxidant activities of black currant were investigated. The pH, soluble solid and total acidity values were 3.36, 15.11 $^{\circ}Brix$, and 1.65%, respectively. The Hunter L, a, and b values were 18.20, 5.13, and 1.08, respectively. The proximate compositions were as follows; moisture, 77.64%; nitrogen free extract, 17.41%; crude fiber, 3.08%; crude protein, 1.28%; crude ash, 0.31%; and crude lipid, 0.28%, respectively. The mineral elements were K (177.36 mg/100 g), P (54.74 mg/100 g), and Ca (26.45 mg/100 g). The free sugar components were glucose (7.71%) and fructose (5.88%). The amino acid contents of the black currant were very rich in glutamic acid (105.73 mg/100 g) and deficient in cystine (5.29 mg/100 g). The ascorbic acid and total phenolic contents were 112.19 mg/100 g and 34.48 mg GAE/g, respectively. The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity levels were 99.48% and 89.03% at the 10 and 1.25 mg/mL concentrations. The reducing power and FRAP of the black currant were dose-dependent. Thus, black currant can be an effective source of functional food substances, i.e., natural anti-oxidants.

In recent years, polyphenol-rich herbs, fruits and processed foods, which are made of plant origin, have attracted much attention due to their potential health benefits. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important source of bioactive compounds and has been used to treat diseases because of its medicinal properties. This research was focused on characterizing Korea's national cultivar and a similar product from California, USA. To evaluate their bioactive compounds and pharmacological activities, their anti-oxidation and cancer inhibition properties, as well as their organic acid and free sugar contents, were investigated. The national cultivar had low total sugar and high organic acid contents, contrary to the imported product. The results showed that the peel of national cultivar had high polyphenol and ellagic acid contents compared to imported product. The free radical scavenging capacity was evaluated via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and its positive correlation with the total polyphenol contents was found. The anti-cancer activity of methanol extracts revealed growth inhibition against the prostate cancer cell. These results signify that while pomegranate, national cultivar, is more sour than the imported product, its health benefits could be excellent. Also, the polyphenol compound content of the non-edible part (such as the peel and the seed) was higher than that of the juice. Thus, it is suggested that the byproduct of the juice extraction could be potentially used in other fields such as medicine or dietary agents.

A series of acrylic copolymers containing perfluoroalkyl acrylate were synthesized by 2-step emulsion polymerization of variety of acrylate monomers (ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate) with perfluoroalkyl ethyl acrylate (PFA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) monomers. This study focused on effects of monomer compositions (the kind of acrylate monomer, contents of PFA and GMA) and composition of surfactants [(sodium dodecyl sulphate/nonylphenol 10mole ethoxylate (NP-10)] and initiator content on the contact angles and surface free energy. It was found that the copolymer having an optimum composition (BA : 87 wt%, GMA : 8.7 wt% and PFA : 4.3 wt%) was shown to be quite surface active [surface free energy : 19.89 mN/m and contact angles : $103.5^{\circ}$ (water) and $78.7^{\circ}$ (methylene iodide)] in the solid state. This result suggests that the optimal copolymer containing fluorinated monomer synthesized in this study have high potential as a low surface energy material, which may have high oil- and water-repellent surface and have been proposed as acrylic syntan for leather and also as soil-resistant/oil and water repellent coating for textiles and wood etc.
