To develop natural food preservatives, antimicrobial effect of the ethanol extract of leaf mustard against E. coli and S. aureus were examined in terms of compositions and leakage of cellular materials in the microorganisms treated with the extract. No effect of the concentration of ethanol extract on the fatty acid composition of E. coli and S. aureus at logarithmic phase was showen, but the content of palmitic and palmitoleic acid of E. coli slightly increased and decreased, respectively, and the content of palmitic and margaric acid of S. aureus slightly increased, when compared to each control. Ethanol extract did not affect most of the amino acids E. coli and S. aureus at logarithmic phase ; however, some of them(proline, glycine, valine and histidine of E. coli and proline, methionine and histidine of s. aureus) were elevated and some other amino acid(aspartic acid, glutamic acid, tyrosine and arginine of E. coli and aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine and lysine of Staph. aureus) found to be decreased. The amount of cell body protein leaked from E. coli and S. aureus increased to 1.02 and 0.22mg/g cell weight, respectively, as compared to controls. Similarly, the substances with absorbance at 260 nm from E. coli and s. aureus increased to 0.12 and 0.06mg/g cell weight, respectively.

The effect of gamma-ray on yeast cells Sacch. cerevisiae, and the leakage of cellular constituents such as carbohydrates, ribose, amino acids, inorganic phosphates and organic phosphates have been studied. The samples of yeast cells washed throughly and starved intensively, radiation effects were compared with those of control (un-starved), the irradiation dose rates are in the range from 24 Kr. up. to 480, Kr. The loss of 260m$\mu$. absorbing material, are also observed. Mechanisms of membrane damage by gamma-irradiation are discussed corelating to permeability changes and loss of substances, then active and passive transport process are also under considerations in discussion. The experimental results are as follows, 1. Carbohydrates of yeast cell leak out by gamma-irradiation, and amounts of loss increase proportionally as the increasing of radiation dose, curve of carbohydrates loss in starved cells is parallel with those of non-starved cells. 2. Ribose leak out less than that of carbohydrate from irradiated cell, the dose response curve of loss is straight and proportional to the increasing of radiation doses, slope of the curve is much lower than of carbohydrates. 3. Amino acids also leak out and the curve of losses to radiation is not proportional, it is revealed that there are little losses from yeast at lower doses of irradiation. 4. The losses of inorganic phosphates increase unproportionally to the increasing of irradiation doses, there are little leakage at the lower doses of irradiation. The losses of organic phosphates increase proportionally to the increasing of irradiation doses, and the amount of losses are much more than that of inorganic phosphate at lower doses of irradiation. 5. Leakage from irradiated yeast cells was shown to be due to passive transport process not an energy requiring process of ion transport. 6. Loss of 260 m$\mu$. absorbing material is little more than that of control yeast by the gamma-irradiation dose of 120K.r. and 240K.r.

MCPs means Micro Cellular Plastics. The micro-cells are generated in the products by the difference of dissolution through the pressure drop after super critical fluid of CO2 or N2 dissolves into polymer. We have developed injection molding process adopting MCPs and applied it to a broad range of injection molded thermoplastic materials and applications. It can prevent the leakage of impact strength and increase the thermal conductivity, moreover regulate the thermal conductivity. Then we can develop the high strength foaming plastics. Also, it can be gained a competitive advantage by utilizing its processing benefits, e.g. the lightweight products and significant reductions in material consumption.
