Alginates were extracted from the Laminaria religiosa, Undaria pinnatifida, and Hizikia fusiforme by using four different extraction methods and compared the yields of alginate. Acid-alkali soluble alginate (AASA) extraction method from Undaria pinnatifida resulted in the best yield of alginate among the seaweeds. The optimal condition for extracting alginate from Laminaria religiosa was 0.4 N H$_2$SO$_4$ and 3% NaCO$_3$ concentrations at the AASA extraction method. The alginate yields of hot water extractable material (HWEM) water soluble alginate (WSA), alkali soluble alginate (ASA) and AASA in Hizikia fusiforme were 18.6, 4.7, 22.5 and 26.5%, respectively. The alginates manufactured by the WSA extraction method showed more bright color than those of the ASA and AASA extraction methods. The alginate prepared by the ASA extraction method from Hizikia fusiforme showed the higher viscosity than that of the ASA extraction method. The molecular weight of the alginate from Hizikia fusiforme was 33.3 kDa to 121.6 kDa depending on the extraction method.

By the 505 chromotest which utilized Escherichia bolt PQ 37, Korean medicinal plants had been screened to Investigate the antimutagenic effect to aflatoxin B1(AFBl). Ikmocho(IMC, Leonurus sibiricus L.) was extracted with hot water. The extract was not found to be mutagenic in the Salmonella mutation test with or without metabolic activation, and the extract was showed to possess the antimutagenic properties towards AFB1-induced metation. The mutagenicity of AFB1 was inhibited by methanol soluble fracstion (IMC-MS) in dose-dependent. However, water-soluble fraction exhibited comutagenic activity. The greatest inhibitory effect of IMC-MS on AFB1 mutagenicity occurred when IMC-MS was first incubated, AFB1 followed by a second incubation with the cells and 59 mixture. Also lower inhibition was occurred when S9 mixtures were first incubated, with IMC-MS followed by a second incubation with AFBI. The results of the sequential incubation study support the probability that one mechanism of inhibition could involve the formation of chemical complex between IMC-MS and AFB1 rather than deactivation of S9 enzyme.

Mathematical models of the litter accumulation, decay and turnover in the grassland and forest ecosystems of equilibrium state of the annual litter production were established to analyse the decay rates of organic and inorganic constituents of the litter. Those models were validated by an application to a Phragmites longivalvis grassland in a delta of the River Nakdong. The decay constants of cold-water-soluble fractions, other carbohydrates, hot-water-soluble fractions, cellulose, crude fat, lignin and crude protein in the litter were 0.730, 0.583, 0.555, 0.505, 0.479, 0.331 and 0.310 respectively. The amount of mineral nutrients such as N. P. K. Ca and Mg returned annually to the soil were estimated to 7.09, 1.34, 2.36, 4.37 and 0.79g/m2 respectively.

The non-starch polysaccharides in the cell wall of rice, glutinous rice, and black rice, were analyzed. They were fractionated into fractions; water-soluble, hot writer-soluble, ammonium oxalate-soluble, sodium hydroxide-soluble, potassium hydroxide-soluble, and the alkali-insoluble, according to the solvent solubility. The dietary fiber contents were 5.4% in glutinous rice, 4.2% in rice and 7.5% in black rice. The sodium hydroxide soluble fibers were abundant in each kind of rice, especially 4.01% in black rice. The water soluble fibers were 80% of dietary fiber in glutinous rice, 66% in rice, 86% in black rice. It was supposed that the content of the water soluble fibers in rice was increased by pounding. Pectic substances in water soluble fibers, hot water soluble fibers, and ammonium oxalate soluble fibers fraction, were 2.4% in glutinous rice fraction,1.59% in rice, and 1.12% in black rice. Alkali soluble fibers were considered as hemicellulose. Black rice contained 5.80% of hemicellulose, which was more than twice as much as glutinous rice(2.58%) and rice(2.22%). Alkali insoluble fibers were considered as cellulose, which showed no considerable difference. Among samples content of uronic acid in glutinous rice, rice and black rice were 0.9%, 0.66%, 1.8% respectively. Uronic acid of black rice was twice more than other samples tested. The fraction of black rice that uronic acid was extracted at most was the fraction of sodium hydroxide. Mono saccharides of the fraction was the glucose, the arabinose, the xylose.

The contents and physicochemical properties of fiber in 15 kinds of vegetables being consumed commoly in Korea were investigated, and the effects of various cooking and Kimchi fermentation) on fiber were studied. Contents of total pechin in raw vegetables were 0.89-2.75g/100g, and most were 1-2g/100g, on dry weight basis. Considering each fraction of pectic substances, the content of HWSP of vegetables ranged in 0.33-0.98g/100g, HXSP, 0.29-0.81g/100g and HCLSP, 0.30-1.40g/100g. HCLSP of three pectic fractions showed the greatest variation according to the kinds of vegetables. Every vegetables showed similar contents of three pectic fraction. Cooking decreased total pectin content in all vegetables regardless of cooking methods and the greatest reduction was observed in boiling. Among three pectic fractions, hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) increased, and sodium hexamtaphosphate soluble pectin(HXSP) and HCL soluble pectin(HCLSP) decreased.

Determining the elution of water-soluble substances from herbal teas is an important factor in their efficient use in terms of taste, perfume, and content of health-related components. The antioxidant activity and content of catechins in commercial Chrysanthemum indicum (gamguk) teas were determined for optimum elution conditions. The water extract of gamguk teas did not differ significantly in yield compared to methanol extracts and showed stronger antioxidant activity. Catechin contents in gamguk teas were 8-18% of the extracts when individual peaks in high-performance liquid chromatography analysis were compared to standard catechin peaks. Gamguk teas exhibited faster release of antioxidants, and the antioxidant activity was positively correlated with the thermal treatments. Gukhwacha (GC) was the best tea for rapid release (30 sec) of antioxidants with the $50^{\circ}C$ treatment, whereas antioxidants in other teas were relatively slower released.
