Hydrolysis of EFB (empty fruit bunch) derived from oil palm was studied using crude enzyme from Aspergillus terreus IMI 282743 along with commercial enzymes from Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger. Hydrolysis at $40^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ with $\alpha$-cellulose or EFB gave significantly lower yield when commercial enzymes of T. reesei and A. niger were used and the hydrolysis time extended beyond 10 h. After 24 h of hydrolysis at $40^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, the filter paper activity (Fpase) from A. terreus retained as much activity as A. niger and it was significantly higher than T. reesei. Glucose concentration of 0.25% and 0.5% caused significant inhibition in the crude enzyme, but in regards to the commercial enzymes it only showed a slight effect. Crude enzymes from A. terreus could produce the highest reducing sugars when compared to commercial enzymes from T. reesei or A. niger. Nevertheless, low yield of sugar was observed for EFB for all treatments.

Lysozyme was treated with digestive enzymes and the production of interleukin 8 (IL-8) was measured in Caco-2 cell with the peptides from lysozyme upon stimulating with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to investigate the overall anti-inflammatory activity of lysozyme when it is in digestive tracts. Lysozyme reduced IL-8 production, and the peptides from pepsin hydrolysis of lysozyme had the similar effect. The products of trypsin digestion of lysozyme had no effect on the reduction of IL-8 production while those of pepsin-trypsin hydrolysis did. The effectiveness of lowering IL-8 production was not different by time of the peptide addition. When Caco-2 cells were pre-incubated with peptides for 24 hr, the reduction effects were observed from the peptides from pepsin hydrolysis, indicating that some of the peptides are still remaining in the cells. Therefore, it can be concluded that the IL-8 reduction effect of lysozyme against LPS still remained even after the pepsin and trypsin hydrolysis.

Effect of polyphenols-rich cacao extract (CE) on lipid hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase was investigated by pH-stat digestion. Two types of substrate (oil vs. emulsion) prepared from soybean oil and CE were studied as types I and II. In the case of type I, addition of CE did not show retardation of lipid hydrolysis, showing that pancreatic lipase was not inhibited. Final digestibility rate (${\Phi}$ max, %) and initial rate (mM/s) of the 24-h aged control (52.31%, 0.03 mM/s) were similar to those of the CE-added sample (58.88%, 0.03 mM/s). However, in the case of typeII, the hydrolysis rates of the control and CE-added emulsion showed distinct differences as aging time increased to 43 days, showing lower digestion in the CE-added emulsion than the control. After 43 days, ${\Phi}$ max values of the control and CE-added emulsion were 92.13% and 77.68%, respectively.

Alkaline treatment gives Sea-Island type yam to produce microfiber and silk-like touch. But this treatment have some problems in dyeing and finishing process. To solve some problem occurred in dyeing and finishing of polyester fabric, the ultrasonic treatment technique was used recently. This study was carried out to confirm the effect of the ultrasonic treatment on alkaline weight loss finishing of polyester fiber under general alkaline treatment conditions; NaOH concentration 2, 3, 4, and 5％, treatment time 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, treatment temperature 70, 80, 90, and 99'E, respectively. On the other hand, the three way lay out method was used to test of significant obtained data from alkaline treatment. It was found that weight loss increased with increasing the NaOH concentration, temperature, and time. Also, in case of PET/Co-PET fabrics by ultrasonic, weight loss and dissolution of microfiber were superior to PET/Co-PET fabrics without ultrasonic. Tensile strength and modulus decreased with increasing NaOH concentrations and hydrolysis time. Therefore, the effect of alkali hydrolysis by ultrasonic application was better than that of the conventional method.

Oyster is a nutritionally good food ingredient. Also, oyster is used to make source for taste and flavor. This study tried to investigate optimal condition of hydrolysis of oyster and oyster cooking drip for better amino acid content to make good taste and flavor. And then this study characterized hydrolysate of oyster and oyster cooking drip. Enzymes are Acalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, and Protamax. The optimal condition for the highest enzyme activity is given by the company. Under the best condition of each enzymes, they react with the homogenized oyster and oyster cooking drip for 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 hr. The degree of oysters’ hydrolysis is 13.2±0.1%. But, in the case of using enzyme, the rate of hydrolysis sharply increased as time went on during 2 hr. After 8 hr, the rate is 36.9~40.5%. Protamax showed 27.4±0.4% of hydrolysis rate in 2 hr. And the degree of oyster cooking drop hydrolysis is 42.7±0.1%. The highest of hydrolysate concentration is 72.1±0.1% using protamax. In the case of oyster, it has a similar tendency of all enzymes. Otherwise, the hydrolysate of oyster cooking drip had a difference among the enzymes. Composition of free amino acid of hydrolysate using protamax was investigated how much time showed highest rate of hydrolysis to find best amino acid composition. Hydrolysis using Protamax during 6 hr is selected for best condition.

Physical and chemical barriers, caused by the close association of the main components of cellulosic biomass, hinder the hydrolysis of cellulose to fermentable sugars. Since the main goal of pretreatment is to increase the enzyme accessibility improving digestibility of cellulose, development of an effective pretreatment process has been considered to be important. In this study, SAA (Soaking in Aqueous Ammonia) was chosen as pretreatment because this is the simple and low-cost method. Rice straw of which the production is outstandingly high in domestic agriculture residues in Korea was chosen as raw material. SSA pretreatment with various reaction time of 3 h to 72 h was tested. The enzymatic hydrolysis and SSF (Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation) were performed at three different temperature (30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$) to investigate performance of SSF upon various pretreatment conditions. As a result, this SAA treated-rice straw was found to have great potential for effective enzymatic hydrolysis and SSF with lower enzyme dosage at lower temperature ($30^{\circ}C$) than its conventional SSF. In SAA addition, SAA reduced fermentation time to 24 h owing to increase the initial hydrolysis rate substantially.

In this work, we investigated 20 kinds of ionic liquids as catalyst during the hydrolysis of Saccharina japonica. Three kinds of ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, n-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, and n-methylmorpholine [$HSO_4$], are selected, and then investigated the effect of reaction temperature, catalyst amount and reaction time. The hydrolysis of S. japonica was increased by the increasing of reaction temperature and ionic liquid amount. Also, the hydrolysis presented the linear increase by the increasing of reaction time. After 90 min of reaction, the concentrations of reducing sugar of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, n-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, and n-methylmorpholine [$HSO_4$] are reached to 6.2 g/L, 6.4 g/L and 6.0 g/L, respectively. As an overall result, we obtained the possibility of hydrolysis of marine biomass using ionic liquids.

The biologically active compounds raphasatin and sulforaphene are formed during the hydrolysis of radishes by an endogenous myrosinase. Raphasatin is very unstable, and it is generated and simultaneously degraded to less active compounds during hydrolysis in aqueous media. This study determined the hydrolysis conditions to maximize the formation of raphasatin and sulforaphene by an endogenous myrosinase and minimize their degradation during the hydrolysis of radish roots. The reaction parameters, such as the reaction medium, reaction time, type of mixing, and reaction temperature were optimized. A stability test for raphasatin and sulforaphene was also performed during storage of the hydrolyzed products at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The formation and breakdown of raphasatin and sulforaphene in radish roots by endogenous enzymolysis was strongly influenced by the reaction medium, reaction time, and type of mixing. The production and stabilization of raphasatin in radishes was efficient in water and dichloromethane with shaking for 15 min at $25^{\circ}C$. For sulforaphene, the favorable condition was water as the reaction medium without shaking for 10 min at $25^{\circ}C$. The maximum yields of raphasatin and sulforaphene were achieved in a concurrent hydrolysis reaction without shaking in water for 10 min and then with shaking in dichloromethane for 15 min at $25^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the yields of raphasatin and sulforaphene were maximized at 12.89 and $1.93{\mu}mol/g$ of dry radish, respectively. The stabilities of raphasatin and sulforaphene in the hydrolyzed products were 56.4% and 86.5% after 10 days of storage in water and dichloromethane at $25^{\circ}C$.

Biological conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals requires hydrolysis of the polysaccharide fraction into monomeric sugars. Hydrolysis can be performed enzymatically, and with dilute or concentrate mineral acids. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid used as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of rapeseed straw. The purpose of this study is to optimize the hydrolysis process in a 15ml bomb tube reactor and investigate the effects of the acid concentration, temperature and reaction time on the hemicellulose removal and consequently on the production of sugars (xylose, glucose and arabinose) as well as on the formation of by-products (furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and acetic acid). Statistical analysis was based on a model composition corresponding to a $3^3$ orthogonal factorial design and employed the response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the hydrolysis conditions, aiming to attain maximum xylose extraction from hemicellulose of rapeseed straw. The obtained optimum conditions were: acid concentration of 0.77%, temperature of $164^{\circ}C$ with a reaction time of 18min. Under these conditions, 75.94% of the total xylose was removed and the hydrolysate contained 0.65g $L^{-1}$ Glucose, 0.36g $L^{-1}$ Arabinose, 3.59g $L^{-1}$ Xylose, 0.51g $L^{-1}$ Furfural, 1.36g $L^{-1}$ Acetic acid, and 0.08g $L^{-1}$ 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Anchovy homogenates with or without salt were autolyzed at various pH and temperature conditions. In the initial hydrolysis during 20 hours, the highest autolysis of anchovy homogenate was achieved at pH 4 and $50^{\circ}C$. However, the addition of 20% salt changed the optimum condition to pH 6 and $50^{\circ}C$. When the digestion time was prolonged to 8 days, the most favorable temperature for the autolysis of salted anchovy was lowered to $40^{\circ}C$ compared with $50^{\circ}C$ of initial hydrolysis while the optimum pH was unchanged. Under the best conditions described above, 60.5% of anchovy nitrogen was converted to TCA-soluble nitrogen in 20 hr-incubation without salting, but it was reduced to 49.8% with salting. In the 8 days hydrolysis of salted anchovy, as much as 83.1% of total nitrogen was transformed into TCA-soluble nitrogen. Slight increase in the degree of hydrolysis up to 89.6% was occurred during subsequent ripening period of 52 days at ambient temperature.
