Screening was performed on edible natural sources to examine superoxide radical scavenging activities by using the method of superoxide dismutase assay. Among 47 kinds of samples, the extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris showed a potent superoxide radical scavenging activity of 11.6 unit / mg solid and was selected for further studies. In order to select optimal extraction solvent system, Cappella bursa-pastoris was extracted with various solvents and the electron donating abilities and inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid were measured. Among them, the ethanol extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris possessed the highest level of activities. The ethanol extract of Cappella bursa-pastoris was found to have an inhibitory effect on autoxidation of soybean oil at 5$0^{\circ}C$ from peroxide value, conjugated diene value and refractive index. In the soybean oil containing 0.2% of ethanol extract, induction period was increased 2 times in comparison with control.

The study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative effect of various extracted propolis. After addition of those extracts to soybean oil at the same level, their antioxidative effects were compared by Rancimat test. The control without added antioxidant showed the shortest Antioxidative Index(AI). The AI of the general Water Extracted Propolis(GWEP) and boiling WEP(BWEP) added to soybean oil were 4.51 and 5.02, respectively. The oxidation period in the BWEP was longer than the ascorbic acid and the GWEP. This result indicated that BWEP had more antioxidative effect than GWEP.

Edible films were prepared from proteins extracted from soybean curd residue by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation. Effects of film forming solution pH and plasticizers on mechanical and barrier properties of edible films were studied. films were formed within pH $7{\sim}11$ with tensile strength (TS) of $2.9{\sim}3.3$ MPa. Films produced under pH 10 had the highest TS and Elongation (E) (3.3 MPa and 60.1%) but no significant difference was observed among water vapor permeabilities (WVP) of film. Glycerol, sorbitol and its mixture (1:1, w/w) were added as plasticizers. The concentration and mixing ratio of plasticizers also affected the TS, E and WVP of films. TS of films decreased from 15.0 MPa to 2.9 MPa as plasticizer concentration increased from 0.4 to 0.8 g plasticizer/g protein. At a plasticizer concentration, the highest TS was observed when sorbitol was used whereas the highest E was measured when mixture of glycerol and sorbitol was used as plasticizer WVP of films increased as the plasticizer concentration increased. Films plasticized with glycerol showed the highest WVP among the films with the same plasticizer concentrations. Edible films prepared from soybean curd residue protein showed very low oxygen permeabilities ($29.5{\sim}61.1aL{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$) and oil resistance at all plasticizer concentration level tested.

Lipolytic enzyme-producing bacteria were isolated from edible oil mill effluents on tributyrin agar medium. The shake-flask-scale studies yielded a promising isolate and it was identified as Pseudomonas sp. An OME using various microbiological observations such as cultural, microscopic, and biochemical tests was undertaken and confirmed using PIBWIN bacterial identification software. Lipolytic enzyme production was screened with oils such as sunflower, caster, coconut, tributyrin, and olive. Amongst these, olive oil showed an increased lipase production 6.1 U/ml. In view of the highest lipolytic enzyme production with olive oil, further optimizations were carried out using olive oil as a carbon source. Lipolytic enzyme production was optimized by a conventional 'one variable at a time' approach and the significant factors were further analyzed statistically using response surface methodology (RSM). The effect of physical factors such as incubation time, temperature, initial medium pH, and nutritional factors such as concentration of olive oil and yeast extract were examined for lipase production. Lipolytic enzyme secretion was strongly affected by three variables (incubation time, concentration of yeast extract and olive oil). Therefore, the interaction of these three factors was further optimized using response surface methodology. The optimized conditions of lipase production using response surface methodology yielded a maximum of 9.62 U/ml with optimum conditions for incubation, yeast extract and olive oil concentrations were found to be 48 hr, 0.3 g. and 0.9 ml. respectively.

A novel process has successfully been developed by overcoming major difficulties through the elimination of number of process steps involved in the Classical Transesterification reaction during the preparation of Fatty Acid Methyl/Ethyl Ester (FAME.FAEE) called biodiesel. The Classical process with cost intensive process steps such as the utilization of excess alcohol, needing downstream distillation for the recovery and reutilization of excess alcohol/cosolvent, unrecoverable homogenous catalyst which consumes vast quantity of fresh distilled water during the purification of the product and downstream waste water treatment before its safe disposal to the surface water body. The Novel Process FAME/FAEE is produced from any vegetable oil irrespective of edible or inedible variety using sonication energy. The novelty of the finding is the use of only theoretical quantity of alcohol along with a co-solvent and reduced quantity of homogeneous catalyst. Under this condition neither the homogeneous catalyst goes to the FAME layer nor is the distillation needed. The same ester also has been prepared in high pressure high temperature reactor without using catalyst at sub critical temperature. The quality of prepared biodiesel without involving any purification step meets the ASTM standards. Blended Biodiesel with Common Diesel Fuel (CDF) and FAME is prepared, characterized and used as fuel in the Kirloskar make CI Engines. The evaluation of the engine performance result of pure CDF, B05 biodiesel, B10 biodiesel of all types of biodiesel prepared by using the feedstock of Soybean (Glycine max) and Karanja (Pongamia pinnate) oil along with their mixed oil provides useful information such as brake power, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, etc, and established it as ideal fuel for unmodified CI engine.

In this study, the characteristics of the dust emission according to the presence or absence of operation of the gas stove were analyzed by particle size analysis and density estimation while the mackerel was cooked while the fan was placed on the gas stove used in the home. The experiment was carried out using 20 mackerel of normal size at home. Commercially available canola oil was used as edible oil. In order to understand the characteristics such as particle size distribution of fine dust, light scattering measurement method which can be measured at intervals of several seconds was used. Particles generated by combustion of gas stove, particles formed by heating cooking oil, and particles generated by heating mackerel fish meat are judged to be nano size particles smaller than $1{\mu}m$. Therefore, it is necessary to use precise measurement method rather than the measurement method using the filter which is currently being measured in the measurement of the particles discharged from the fuel combustion or food cooking in the future. Analyzing the particle size and density of the dust emitted from the cooking stove is expected to contribute technically to the reduction of dust emissions from the cooking process of gas and fuel facilities at home and commercial facilities.

Citrus junos seeds (CS) have been traditionally used for the treatment of cancer and neuralgia. They are also used to manufacture edible oil and cosmetic perfume. A large amount of CS shells without oil (CSS) are discarded after the oil in CS is used as foods or herbal remedy. To efficiently utilize CSS as a by-products, it needs to be studied through chemical analysis. Therefore, we developed an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-diode array detection (DAD) method for simultaneous determination and quantitative analysis of five components (two flavonoids and threes limonoids) in CSS. A Waters Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column C18 (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 ㎛) was used for this separation. It was maintained at 40 ℃. The mobile phase used for the analysis was distilled water and acetonitrile with gradient elution. To identify the quantity of the five components, a mass spectrometer (MS) with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source was used. The regression equation showed great linearity, with correlation coefficient ≥ 0.9912. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) of the five compounds were 0.09 - 0.13 and 0.26 - 0.38 ㎍/mL, respectively. Recoveries of extraction ranged from 97.45% to 101.91%. Relative standard deviation (RSD) values of intra- and inter-day precision were 0.06 - 1.15% and 0.19 - 0.25%, respectively. This UPLC-DAD method can be validated to simultaneously analyze quantities of marker flavonoids and limonoids in CSS.

Elimination of residual captan during the storage and cooking process was investigated. The concentration of residual captan after sticking and drying fo captan on spinach was 2.938ppm. During storage of 5, 10, 15 and 20 days at 15$^{\circ}C$, the amount of residual captan decreased to 73.18, 80.80, 89.99 and 98.40% of the initial amount, respectively. When spinach was stored at 3$^{\circ}C$, the concentration of residual captan decreased to 58.20, 61.37, 72.84 and 76.31% and the storage was carried out at -17$^{\circ}C$, residual captan amount decreased to 7.18, 22.67, 34.58 and 40.91% of the initial amout, respectively according to the storage period. In the case of the residual captan of seasoned spinach, the storage of 2, 24 and 48 hours at 15$^{\circ}C$, the amout of residual captan decreased to 0.772(39.69%), 0.661(77.50%) and 0.063ppm(97.86%) of the initial amount, respectively. When spinach was stored at 3$^{\circ}C$, the amount of residual captan decreased to 2.344 (20.22%), 1.021(65.25%) and 0.329ppm(88.80%) and the storage was carried out at -17$^{\circ}C$, residual captan amount decreased to 2.428(17.36%), 1.520(48.26%) and 0.726ppm(75.29%) of the initial amount, respectively according to the storage period. In the case of the residual captan of spinach cooked with edible oil for 2, 4 and 6 minutes and then cooking oil was discarded, each decreasing rate of the captan sticked to thespinach was 96.29, 97.86 and 99.18%, respectively. The rate of removed the captan sticked to the spinach with oil was 73.32, 86.32 and 87.13%, respectively. From these results, the storage in room temperature and the addition of seasoning to the spinach could lead to decrease in the concentration of the residual captan, furthemore the cooking could inhance decreasing of residual captan.

Carthamus tinctorius L. (known as safflower) is a valuable oil plant whose importance is increasing rapidly in the world due to its high adaptation to arid regions. The seeds of this unique plant are especially used in edible oil, soap, paint, varnish and lacquer production. Its flowers are used in vegetable dye production and medicinal purposes beside its features as a coloring and flavoring in food. After the oil is removed, the remaining pulp and plant parts are used as animal feed, and dry straw residues are used as fuel. Beside all these features, its usage as a herbal medicinal plants for various diseases has gained importance on recent years. In this study, it was designed a plant metabolomic approach which transfers all the recent data processing strategies of untargeted metabolomics in clinical applications to the present study. Q-TOF LC/MS-based analysis of the extracts (70% ethanol, hexane, and chloroform) for both seed and flowers was performed using a C18 column (Agilent Zorbax 1.8 µM, 100 × 2.1 mm). Differences were observed in seed and fruit extracts and these differences were visualized using principal component analysis (PCA) plots. The total number and intersections of the peaks in the extracts were visualized using peak count comparison graph. Based on the experimental results, the number of the detected peaks for seeds was higher than the ones for the flowers for all solvent systems to extract the samples.
