The sulfating reaction of coal fly ash with ammonium sulfate and the microwave extraction of aluminum ions from the resultant materials using sulfuric acid have been investigated. The (NH$_4$)$_3$Al(SO$_4$)$_3$ formed by the reaction of coal fly ash and ammonium sulfate decomposed to NH$_4$Al(SO$_4$)$_2$ at $\geq$ 350$^{\circ}C$. The maximum efficiency of aluminum ions extracted from the sulfating reaction product (400$^{\circ}C$, 120 min) by microwave heating (90$^{\circ}C$, 240 min) using 1 M H$_2$SO$_4$ was 84％ (based on Al content in coal fly ash) but 77％ by conventional heating at same condition.

In order to optimize the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) conditions of volatile components from the strawberry, we conducted an evaluation of the sample preparation and SFE operating conditions. The analysis of the volatile components extracted by a variety of sample preparation protocols led to the identification of 30, 26, 30, and 34 volatile components in fresh, freeze-dried, 30% celite and 70% celite treatments, respectively. The 70% celite treatment was the most effective in extracting the volatile components from strawberry via SFE. Analysis of the volatile components extracted by a variety of SFE operating conditions yielded identifications of 34, 35, 34, and 35 volatile components at 3,000 psi (40, $50^{\circ}C$) and 6,000 psi (40, $50^{\circ}C$), respectively. The extraction yield of alcohols and acids, and the total volatile component contents, were highest under conditions of 3,000 psi and $55^{\circ}C$. Volatile components from the strawberry were extracted via SFE, simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE), and solvent extraction (SE). The analysis of the volatile components extracted via different extraction methods resulted in the identification of 56, 34, and 32 volatile components in the SDE, SFE, and SE extracts, respectively. The total volatile component contents identified in the SDE, SFE, and SE extracts were $20.268{\pm}1.144$, $21.627{\pm}1.215$ and $2.476{\pm}0.177\;mg/kg$, respectively. The SFE extract evidenced higher contents of sweet flavors such as 2-methylbutanoic acid, 2-methylpropanoic acid, and hexanoic acid than the SDE and SE extracts. SFE proved to be the most appropriate method for the extraction of fresh volatile components from the strawberry.

Polyphenol oxidase in apple (Golden Delicious) was extracted, partially purified and its properties were found as follows; Polyphenol oxidase showed optimum pH for activity at 6.5 and optimum temperature at $30^{\circ}C$ and high affinity to o-diphenol compounds. Cysteine, ascorbic acid and sodium metabisulfite appeared to be most effective inhibitors. EDTA showed a slight inhibition. During the enzyme was kept in test tube at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ for a week, polyphenol oxidase activity decreased sharply during the first four days at $20^{\circ}C$, then decreased slowly as the storage was prolonged. At $4^{\circ}C$, the polyphenol oxidase activity appeared to be relatively stable during the first two days before activity began to decline sharply. Polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis indicated four bands with polyphenol oxidase activity. Three bands and one band of the active bands were observed after heating for 1hr at $60^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$ respectively. The enzyme activity was observed 40% after treatment at $60^{\circ}C$ and 5% after treatment at $70^{\circ}C$. Therefore, no difference in the thermal stability was observed between active bands and the enzyme activity.

Fucoxanthin has been concentrated efficiently using supercritical carbon dioxide. First, fucoxanthin was extracted from Ecklonia cava using solvents. Three solvents, such as medium chain fatty acid (MCFA), medium chain fatty acid ethyl ester, and fatty acid from coconut oil were tested, and MCFA was selected as a suitable solvent to extract fucoxanthin from Ecklonia cava. The concentration was conducted at various pressures and temperatures. In order to concentrate fucoxanthin from extracts, MCFA was eliminated from the extract using supercritical carbon dioxide, and fucoxanthin was concentrated successfully in residue. Optimal conditions for concentrating the fucoxanthin from fucoxanthin extract were $40^{\circ}C$ at 9.7 MPa, $45^{\circ}C$ at 11.0 MPa, and $50^{\circ}C$ at 12.4 MPa, respectively. The density of carbon dioxide affected the concentration of fucoxanthin from fucoxanthin extract. In this optimal conditions, the density for concentrating the fucoxanthin was 600 g/L.

Supercritical carbon dioxide was used as a solvent in the extraction of freeze-dried Pandanus odorus leaves. Analysis of the extract with GC-MS showed that Pandanus odorus leaves contain nutritional constituents such as ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ (Vitamin E) and squalene. The contents of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and squalene extracted from freeze-dried ground Pandanus odorus leaves at pressures ranging from 80 to $200\;kg\;cm^{-2}$ and temperatures between 40 to $80^{\circ}C$ were $134{\sim}300\;ppm$ and $750{\sim}1,200\;ppm$ respectively. The highest yield was obtained at $200\;kg\;cm^{-2}$ and $40^{\circ}C$. Other major components identified were hexadecanoic acid, 9,12,15-octadecatrien-1-ol, campesterol, stigmasterol and ${\beta}-sitosterol$.

Vinblastine, an anticancer agent was produced by chemical coupling of two different monomeric indole alkaloids, vinblastine and catharanthine in the presence of ferric ion. Vindoline was efficiently extracted from the leaves of vinca (Cafharanthus roseus) by using supercritical carbon dioxide, whereas catharanthine was chemically extracted from the in vitro cultured hairy roots. The extracted crude monomeric precursors were purified by a two-step preparative TLC. The coupling reaction was carried out in the 0.1M glycine buffer(pH 2.0, 5ml) containing 40mM FeC13 with purified vindoline(0.3mg) and catharanthine(0.3mg) at 4$^{\circ}C$. The production yields (weight %) of vinblastine and 3', 4'-anhy-drovinblastine in the products were 23.2 and 26.0, respectively. The produced vinblastine was confirmed by FAB-MS.

In this study, wild sesame leaf aromas (WSLA) were extracted and the extracted aromas were entrapped in porous potato starch micelles. The entrapped aromas did not evaporate, even by heated water treatments, and remained until a physical treatment such as chewing. Thus, the entrapped WSLA starch was used to make precooked instant noodles in order to mask or/and reduce an unpleasant raw flour flavor. The efficiencies of the flavor entrapment were analyzed using gas-chromatography equipped with solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), as well as by sensory evaluation. The highest yield of the porous potato starch was shown as 82.4% at an inlet temperature (IT) of $170^{\circ}C$, an exhaust temperature (ET) of $90^{\circ}C$, and a feeding rate (FR) of 40 mL/min. In the porous starch made by IT at $200^{\circ}C$, ET at $100^{\circ}C$, and FR at 50 mL/min, the entrapment efficiency was 68% by GC analysis; this starch also had the highest WSLA and consumer acceptability, but the lowest raw flour flavor, according to the sensory evaluation results.

A squid viscera oil contains a high content of EPA, DHA, and other valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. The extractions of squid viscera oil by supercritical carbon dioxide both with/without $3\%$ (v/v) ethanol were performed in a semicontinuous flow extractor at 8.3 to 13.8 MPa and 25 to $50^{\circ}C$. When ethanol was added to $SC-CO_2$, the extraction ratio of lipid increased. The extracts contained high content of unsaturated oils like DHA and EPA. The highest extraction yield of lipid from squid viscera oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide was obtained at 12.4 MPa and $40^{\circ}C$ with/without entrainer. The main fatty acids of squid viscera oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide were myristric acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1), oleic acid (18:1), arachidic acid (20:0), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5), and docosahaxaenoic acid (22:6).

An invistigation was carried out to study the effects of heat treatment of garlic and storage temperature of garlic extracts on functional properties of garlic extracts. The garlic was heated at 40, 60, 80, 100, $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and extracted with 50% ethanol. The extracts were stored at 4, 25 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 days, and then electron donating ability(EDA), nitrite-scavenging effects(NSE) and total thiosulfinates contents were determined. Among the functional properties, total thiosulfinates were rapidly reduced as the heating and storage temperature increased. The total thiosulfinates in the extracts were not detected for those heat-treated at 100 and $120^{\circ}C$. The EDAs were also decreased to almost half of their initial level by heat treatment of garlic at higher temperature than $80^{\circ}C$ while NSE was decreased a little. As the storage temperature increased, EDA and thiosulfinate contents decreased. Particularly the thiosulfinates were ditected none after 11 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. Therefore, mild heat treatment of garlic at lower temperature than $60^{\circ}C$ and storage at refrigerated condition are recommendable for preparation and storage of garlic extracts.
