Solid-liquid phase change (i.e. melting or solidification) occurs in a number of situations of practical interest. Some common examples include the melting of edible oil, metallurgical process such as casting and welding, and materials science applications such as crystal growth. Therefore, due to the practical importance of the subject, there have been a large number of experimental and numerical studies of problems involving phase change during the past few decades. Also, this study presented the effective way to enhance phase change heat transfer.

Experiments were carried out in order to compare the sesamol contents in the methanol extracts and unsaponifiable matters from raw and baked seeds of Korean sesame and perilla by thinchrography. The oil and sesamol contents of sesame seeds were higher than those of perilla seeds. The contents of sesamol in raw and baked sesame seeds were 0.22 and 0.096% respectively in methanol extracts and 0.41 and 0.29% respectively in unsaponifiable matters. The sesame contents in raw and baked perilla seeds were 0.0022 and 0.0043% respectively in methanol extracts and not detected in unsaponifiable matters.

The Louisiana crawfish industry comprises the largest concentration of crustacean aquaculture in the United States. Processing plants throughout the culture region annually generate as much as 80 million pounds of peeling waste during recovery of the 15% (by weight) edible tail meat. A commercial oil extraction process for recovery of carotenoid astaxanthin from crawfish waste has been developed. Crawfish pigment in its various forms finds applications as a source of red intensifying agents for use in aquaculture and poultry industries. Crawfish shell, separated in the initial pigment extraction step, is an excellent source of chitin. Applicable physicochemical procedures for isolation of chitin from crawfish shell and its conversion to chitosan have been developed. Crawfish chitosan has been demonstrated to be both an effective coagulant and ligand-exchange column material , respectively, for recovery of valuable organic compounds from seafood processing wastewater.

This study presents experimental work on phase change heat transfer, in order to increase heat transfer rate, ultrasonic vibrations were introduced. Solid-liquid phase change occurs in a number of situations of practical interest. This study reveal that ultrasonic vibrations accompany the effects like agitation, acoustic streaming, cavitation, and oscillating fluid motion. Such effects are a prime mechanism in the overall melting process when ultrasonic vibrations are applied. Some common examples include the melting of edible oil, metallurgical process such as casting and welding, and materials science applications such as crystal growth. Therefore, this study presented the effective way to enhance phase change heat transfer.

The submersion monitoring system based on a reflective side-polished optical fiber submersion sensor with an optical fiber mirror was shown to be an effective alarm system with remote monitoringwhen the drainage capacity of a common utility duct is exceeded due to heavy rainfall. The proposed sensor was connected to an existing installed optical fiber network at a height of 250mm in a common utility duct, and then tested under sample materials(distilled water, river water, sea water, foul water, muddy water, petroleum, edible oil) at a distance of 1km from the sensor for remote sensing. In experiments, the proposed real-time sensor system reduced maintenance cost and improved monitoring efficiency by using a reflection-type side-polished optical fiber submersion sensor efficient for remote monitoring of a common utility duct.

High quality rapeseed cultivars including Nojeokchae, Yeongsanyuchae Halla-yuchae and Tamrayuchae have been released and recommended as a zero erucic acid variety to Cheju farmers for 13 years, where is a major rapeseed production area in korea. However, rapeseeds produced in Cheju island in 1992 and 1993 contained 47.7% and 37.0% of erucic acid respectively resulting in poor quality oil being not adequate for edible oil. It was considered that the zero erucic acid varieties did not have an opportunity to be cultivated in Cheju island by farmers living in the Island. Thus, the new rapeseed varieties without erucic acid should be bred and recommended to the farmers of southern area of Korea as a multiple cropping crop just after rice harvest, and for large scale mechanized and labour-serving rapeseed culture. The change of rapeseed breeding goal would be desirable for fatty acid composition improvement of rapeseed to develop varieties adaptable to southern part of Korea, and to produce rapeseed oil directly used as an edible oil safely.

This study investigated the physiochemical characteristics of Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed oil. Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed oil was extracted by supercritical fluid extraction (420 atm, $50^{\circ}C$), hexane extraction and heat-pressed extraction ($160^{\circ}C$, $180^{\circ}C$). Acid values and peroxide values were evaluated, as well as the degree of lipid oxidation. The heat-pressed ($160^{\circ}C$) extraction gave a $53.5{\pm}2.5%$ higher yield of oil, compared with the other extraction methods. The acid values from the super critical fluid extraction were the highest, while peroxide values were highest from the heat-pressed extraction at $160^{\circ}C$ (3.10 meq/kg). The contents of linolenic acid and oleic acid were 38.63~41.13% and 26.29~26.85%, respectively. Contents of stigmasterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol were 6.01~6.49 mg/100 g and 58.19~59.85 mg/100 g, respectively. These results indicate that Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed oil can possibly serve as new edible oils.

Effects of green tea seed oil intake on the serum cholesterol, the thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) formation of liver and inflammatory markers of plasma and macrophage in cholesterol fed mice were investigated, comparing to the intakes of corn oil and olive oil. C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups and fed the experimental diets: supplemented corn oil, green tea seed oil and olive oil to cholesterol diet, respectively, at the level of 10% for 9 weeks. The increased levels of serum cholesterol of green tea seed oil group were significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of corn oil group until 6 weeks. The TBARS formation in liver of green tea seed oil and olive oil groups were significantly (p<0.05) reduced than those of corn oil group. The contents of inflammatory markers ($LTB4,\;TNF-{\alpha},\;PGE2,\;NO$) in plasma and macrophage did not show significant differences among the experimental groups. These results showed that green tea seed oil could exert the activity of decreasing serum cholesterol and the antioxidative activity in cholesterol fed mice liver. Therefore, we suggest that green tea seed oil might be developed as a high quality edible oil.

This study was carried out to classify the regional folk plants in Gyeongsangnam-do. According to the survey results from 293 survey sheets of 60 residents at 52 places of 17 counties and cities from March to October, 2009, the folk plants in Gyeongsangnam-do consisted of a total 182 taxa; 73 families, 157 genera, 168 species, 2 subspecies, 11 varieties, and 1 form. The use by its usage was: 129 taxa; edible, 41 taxa; medicinal, 3 taxa; dye, 2 taxa; aroma, 2 taxa; spice, 2 taxa; ornamental, 6 taxa; fiber, 2 taxa; oil, 25 taxa; others, respectively, so the edible use was the highest. The most useful part was the leaf, followed by all parts, fruit and root.

The volatile concentrate obtained from the edible Korean dureup plant (Aralia elata Seem.) by a distillation-extraction system was separated into hydrocarbon and oxygen-containing fractions, and the latter was further separated into nine subfractions by silica gel column chromatography. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) were utilized to identify 167 volatile compounds in the fractions. The volatile compounds included 72 hydrocarbons, 31 alcohols, 23 aldehydes, 16 esters, 10 acids, 6 ketons, 3 furans, 2 phenols, 1 indole, 1 oxide, 1 sulfide, and 1 lactone. ${\beta}-Caryopyllene$, a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, was the most abundant volatile compound identified in Korean dureup (19.53%). Dureup oil was found to possess a woody or herbaceous aroma following sensory evaluation of each fraction and individual volatile component using a GC-sniff apparatus.
