The studies was carried out to investigate ripening degree and functional properties of EMC produced with pancreatic protease and palatase ML. During production of EMC, the amounts of free amino acid and free fatty acid were increased with increasing the reaction time. The amount of total nitrogen(T-N) and water soluble nitrogen(WSN) were increased with increasing time. EMC had contents of 1.79eA T-N and 0.52o WSN at 60 min of hydrolysis time. SRI and FRI value had also a similar correlationship. On the gel filtration, 2 kinds of soluble proteining capacity was also shown in alkali solution. Furthermore the foaming stability had the same result as that of the solubility. The water absorption of EMC showed the highest level at pH 4.0 and 5.0.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of enzymatic modification of milk protein with protease on functional properties. The selected functional properties were solubility, emulsifying activity (EA), emulsion stability(ES), foam expansion(FE), and foam stability(FS). These properties were measu-red from pH 3.0 to pH 8.0. The proteases used in this study were iaolated from Meju(fermemted soybean) and had specific activity of 250 units/㎎ protein at pH 7.0, 1600 units of pretense was used for 1gr. of skim milk protein. Skim milk showed 30.5％ degree of hydrolysis for 1 hr. and 36.4% degree of hydrolysis for 3.5 hrs. of protease treatment at pH 7.0. Solubility of native skim milk, control, 1 hr. and 3.5 hrs. groups were 3.37, 3.64, 10.21, 14.34％o at pH 4.0 respcetively. The emulsifying activity of native skim milk, control, 1 hr. and 3.5 hrs. groups were 38.8,42.0,43.0,46.7ft at pH 4.0, respectively. Enzymatic modification resulted in the increase of solubility and emulsifying activity at pH 4.0. However at pH 5.0 emulsifying activity of 1 hr. and 3.5 hr. group were lower than native skim milk and control groups. 1 hr. protease treatment was found to be most effective way of increasing foam expansion at pH 4.0 to 6.0. It was supported that, protease treated skim milk can be used to improve solubility, emulsifying activity, foam expansion at acid pH. meju protease. skim milk, solubility, emulsion, foam.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) with high degree of hydrolysis of above 98% was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), and the shear viscosity was measured up to $C{\simeq}0.14\;g/mL$ in the semi-dilute solution regime. Next, as probe particle, polystyrene(PS) latex was introduced into this matrix system and its delayed diffusion due to polymer concentration was investigated by means of dynamic light scattering. When the solution viscosity of PVA/DMSO was plotted against the reduced concentration $C[{\eta}]$, which is scaled by the intrinsic viscosity, the molecular weight dependence was strongly appeared at C$[{\eta}]$ >2. Some heterogeneties in polymer solution were considered as its source. Contrary, the diffusion of probe particle in the matrix solution was observed as a single mode motion at whole concentration range but its ratio of its diffusion coefficient at solution to that at solvent, D/Do did not show any molecular weight dependence at all. However, the application limit of the stretched exponential function was disclosed at C$[{\eta}]$ >2.5.

To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented sardine, Sardinops melanostictus sauce during 18 months fermentation, various chemical properties were examined at 2$\~$3 months intervals. The degree of hydrolysis increased sharply until 5 months of fermentation and showed the gentle increasement after that. On the other hand, the contents of total and amino nitrogens, total ATP related compounds increased gradually during 18 months of fermentation. The hypoxanthine and uric acid were abundant in ATP related compounds, ranging from $75\%$ to $87\%$. The contents of inosine+hypoxanthine and uric acid were crossed at 13.9 months of fermentation. After 18 months of fermentation, sauce was rich in free amino acids, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, alanine, threonine in that order.

In this work, we studied the degree of hydrolysis of ion exchanger in $NH_4OH$ solution and sorption characteristics of $NH_3$ by potentiometric titration curves with using carboxylic acid ion exchanger Fiban K-4. We knew that the theoretical pH values agreed with the experimental pH values on the $NH_4OH$ concentrations in various concentrations of supporting electrolyte $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. The sorption values of $NH_3$ using the ion exchanger can be calculated from equivalent sorption curves for various pH. Also, the degree of hydrolysis increased with decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte and pH. In order to obtain the mono ion form below 0.01 M as the decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte, the pH values should be increased. From these results, therefore, the concentrations of supporting electrolyte and pH values were determined.

The marsh calm soup was prepared with 2 volumes of boiling water and heated for 0, 5, 10, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. As the boiling time prolonged, water content decreased gradually, while protein content increased. Free amino acid content was the highest with 30 minutes of boiling showing 103.1 mg/100g, and decrease showly thereafter. Among the free amino acids, alanine was the most abundant followed by proline, glutamic acid and glycine. Degree of protein hydrolysis increased as boiling prolonged. In the non-volatile organic acids, succinic acid was the highest(137.08 mg/100g with 30 minutes of boiling), followed by oxalic acid, magic acid and lactic acid. The optimum boiling time for marsh calm soup was evaluated to be 30 minutes.

To enhance application of FPC in food industry, salmon FPC hydrolysates were produced and their functional properties were investigated. Hydrolysates of salmon FPC showed high solubilities ranged from approximately $80\~95\%$. Emulsifying activity index (EAI) values of hydrolysates were higher than that of egg white, however sugar ester showed the highest EAI value of 32.5. Though sugar ester had the best emulsifying stability value $({\Delta}EAI)$ of 9.65, hydrolysates showed better ${\Delta}EAI$ value than that of egg white. Foam Activity of hydrolysates was predominantly better than those of controls and also foam stability value showed similiar trend. Osmolality of hydrolysates was increased with the increase of degree of hydrolysis (DH) and concentration of protein, but it showed very lower osmolality than that of NaCl. Flow property of hydrolysates showed different upward-downward curves, and hysteresis loop increased with the increase of DH. ACE inhibitory activity showed similiar value ranged from $21.1\~24\%$ at all DH values.

Cellulose nanofibers from microfibril cellulose (MFC) was prepared by hydrobromic acid (HBr) treatment at different concentrations. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films at various loading level of nanofibers were manufactured by a film casting method. The analysis of degree of polymerization (DP), crystallinity ($X_c$) and molecular weight ($M_w$) of cellulose after acid treatment was conducted. The mechanical and thermal properties of the cellulose nanofibers reinforced PVA films were characterized using tensile tests and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The DP and $M_w$ of MFC by HBr hydrolysis considerably decreased, but $X_c$ showed no significant change. After acid hydrolysis, the diameter of cellulose nanofibers was in the range of 100 to 200 nm. The thermal stability of the films was steadily improved with the increase of nanofiber loading. There was a significant increase in the tensile strength of PVA composite films with the increase in MFC loading. Finally, 5 wt.% nanofiber loading exhibited the highest tensile strength and thermal stability of PVA composite films.

With the goal of transforming rice protein from an insoluble to a soluble form to increase the industrial utilization of rice wine meal (RWM), RWM was derivatized using commercial proteases and the RWM hydrolysates were characterized. Eight commercial proteases were used individually or in combination for hydrolysis of RWM. The degree of hydrolysis was assessed by determining the soluble protein in supernatant using the Lowry assay, protein in precipitates using a semimicro Kjeldahl procedure, and gravimetrically by the weight difference before and after hydrolysis. Protamex, Alcalase and Protease N proteases were most effective for hydrolysis of RWM. Although these assessment methodologies displayed some variation, they generally showed a similar pattern. When the aforementioned three proteases were simultaneously used to treat RWM, no significant difference was observed between the three assays (p<0.05) indicating an absence of enzymatic synergy.
