The autoclaving assisted by an irradiation pretreatment method was developed without toxic chemicals to produce fermentable sugars for their conversion to bioethanol. In the first step, electron beam irradiation (EBI) of rice straw was performed at various doses. The electron beam-irradiated rice straw was then autoclaved with DI water at $120^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. A total sugar yield of 81% was obtained from 300 kGy electron beam-irradiated rice straw after 72 h of enzymatic hydrolysis by Cellulase 1.5L (70 FPU/mL) and Novozyme-188 (40 CbU/mL). Also, the removal of hemicellulose and lignin was 32.0% and 32.5%, respectively. This result indicates that the environmentally-friendly pretreatment method of rice straw by an electron beam irradiation could be applied for bioethanol production in plant.

This study was investigated in optimum condition of pulping of ramie and the mechanical properties of non-woven fabric for the performance of ramie/cotton panty liner. The result of pulping condition on ramie was most suitable for type I (mixed NaOH with $Na_2CO_3$ in 30%:70%). The sample (I) was showed yield value of 68.2% and the best fibrillation and lignin removal rate. The non-woven fabrics of ramie/cotton were made in range of ramie content of 0, 15 and 30%. As ramie content increased, so were increased in air permeability, compressive strength and compression recovery rate. But surface roughness and compressional energy were decreased. Therefore, the non-woven fabrics of ramie/cotton are very suitable in hygienic goods for female panty liner. The ramie panty liner showed a little decrease in absorption and strength, as increasing the amount of ramie. But the performance of ramie panty liner was appeared beyond standard values used by usual panty liner.

The present work explores the potential of wet air oxidation (WAO) for pretreatment of mixed lignocellulosic biomass to enhance enzymatic convertibility. Rice husk and wheat straw mixture (1:1 mass ratio) was used as a model mixed lignocellulosic biomass. Post-WAO treatment, cellulose recovery in the solid fraction was in the range of 86% to 99%, accompanied by a significant increase in enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose present in the solid fraction. The highest enzymatic conversion efficiency, 63% (by weight), was achieved for the mixed biomass pretreated at $195^{\circ}C$, 5 bar, 10 minutes compared to only 19% in the untreated biomass. The pretreatment under the aforesaid condition also facilitated 52% lignin removal and 67% hemicellulose solubilization. A statistical design of experiments on WAO process conditions was conducted to understand the effect of process parameters on pretreatment, and the predicted responses were found to be in close agreement with the experimental data. Enzymatic hydrolysis experiments with WAO liquid fraction as diluent showed favorable results with sugar enhancement up to $10.4gL^{-1}$.

본 연구에서는 감마선 조사가 떫은감 과육의 세포벽변화, 수렴성 및 경도변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 감마선 조사 결과 떫은감 과육 중의 가용성 탄닌 함량의 변화는 대조구의 $181.04{\pm}1.72{\mu}g/g$에 비해 처리 방사선의 양이 5~20 kGy로 증가할수록 $146.31{\mu}g/g$에서 $128.09{\mu}g/g$으로 과육내의 가용성 탄닌의 양이 감소하는 것이 확인되었다. 감과육의 경도는 방사선을 조사하지 않은 대조구에 비해 방사선 조사한 감과육의 경도가 감소하였다. 세포벽 성분의 변화는 알콜불용성 물질의 경우 대조구의 39.3 mg/g에 비해 방사선 처리의 경우 37.2 mg/g로 낮아졌다. 수용성 물질의 함량은 대조구의 경우 11.4 mg/g이었으나, 방사선 조사의 경우 13.9 mg/g로 높아졌으며, 세포벽 성분의 함량은 대조구의 경우 26.6 mg/g였으나, 방사선 조사의 경우 23.1 mg/g로 낮아져, 떫은감 과육이 방사선조사에 의해 숙성이 일어나 세포벽성분의 함량이 감소하고 수용성물질의 함량이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 세포벽 구성다당류 중 lignin의 함량과 pectin질의 함량은 대조구의 0.82 mg/g, 3.56 mg/g에 비교해 방사선 조사의 경우 0.77 mg/g, 3.14 mg/g로 감소하였다. 산가용성 hemicellulose의 함량은 lignin과 pectin처럼 방사선 조사에 의해 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 알칼리 가용성 hemicellulose와 cellulose는 방사선조사에 의해 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 감과육에 존재하는 세포벽 분해 및 연화효소인 polygalacturonase, pectinesterase와 $\beta$-galactosidase의 활성의 경우 방사선 조사에 의해 모든 효소활성이 증가하였다. 방사선 처리감의 관능검사 결과 수렴성은 대조구의 경우 매우 떫은 것으로 나타났으나 방사선처리 후에는 거의 떫지 않게 느껴졌고, 과육의 경도에 대한 관능검사 결과 대조구는 딱딱한 것으로 나타났으나 방사선처리 후에는 약간 물렁해 지는 것으로 나타나 방사선처리에 의해 탄닌의 중합이 일어나며 과육의 숙성도 동시에 발생하였다. 따라서 감마선 처리는 떫은 감의 수렴성 제거와 숙성기간을 단축시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Effects of aqueous ammonia soaking treatments to yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) were investigated to focus on chemical compositional changes and enzymatic hydrolysis characteristics changes by this treatment. Treatment temperature and time were main variables. At 3 different levels of aqueous ammonia soaking temperature and time ($145^{\circ}C$ -1 h, $90^{\circ}C$ -16 h and $45^{\circ}C$ - 6 days), lower temperature and longer soaking time led to more xylan removal based on carbohydrate compositional analysis. However, at higher temperature treatment led to more enzymatic saccharification of cellulose to glucose by commercial cellulose mixtures (Celluclast 1.5L and Novozym 342 from Novozyme, Denmark). Cellulose hydrolysis was gradually increased with increasing enzymatic hydrolysis time but xylan hydrolysis was leveled out at early stage (less than 10 h) of enzymatic hydrolysis.

Pretreatment of cellulosic biomass is necessary before enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined aqueous ammonia-dilute sulfuric acid treatment on cellulosic biomass. Miscanthus was pretreated using aqueous ammonia and dilute sulfuric acid solution under high temperature and pressure conditions to be converted into bioethanol. Aqueous ammonia treatment was performed with 15 %(w/w) ammonia solution at $150^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 20 minutes of reaction time. And then, dilute sulfuric acid treatment was performed with 1.0 %(w/w) sulfuric acid solution at $150^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 10 minutes of reaction time. The compositional variations of this combined aqueous ammonia-dilute sulfuric acid treatment resulted in 68.0 % of cellulose recovery and 95.7 % of hemicellulose, 81.3 % of lignin, 89.1 % of ash removal respectively. The enzymatic digestibility of 90.5 % was recorded in the combined pretreated Miscanthus sample and it was 14.7 times higher than the untreated sample. The ethanol yield in the Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation was 90.4 % of maximum theoretical yield based on cellulose content of the combined pretreated sample and it was about 98 % compared to the ${\alpha}$-cellulose ethanol yield.

Kenaf fiber can be obtained by decortications of the kenaf plant stem. The properties of the kenaf fiber treated by alkali (NaOH) were investigated by spectrocolorimeter, SEM, X-ray diffractometer, FT-IR and TGA. The kenaf fibers treated by alkali became darker and their Munsell color values changed from Y (yellow) to YR (yellowred) according to an increased NaOH concentration. SEM observation of the kenaf fibers showed that their crimps were developed and their surfaces were cleaned by the removal of protruding ends and impurities after alkali treatments. In the x-ray diffraction analysis, the structures of the fibers were found in the form of cellulose I when treated with a 0-16% alkali concentration and cellulose II when treated with over 20%. It was also confirmed that the crystallinity was lowered according to an increased NaOH concentration. The change of fiber compositions was investigated in FT-IR analysis. Strong band of $1,738cm^{-1}$ and asymmetrical stretching strong bands of $1,630-1,600cm^{-1}$ in spectrum (which represent pectin) were not found in the samples because the pectin was removed by the alkali treatment. Weak bands of $1,728-1,730cm^{-1}$ and peaks of $1,245-1,259cm^{-1}$ (which represent hemicellulose) and peaks of $1,592cm^{-1}$, $1,504cm^{-1}$, $1,462cm^{-1}$ and $1,429cm^{-1}$ (which are related to lignin) were not found or reduced in the samples treated with a concentration over 20%. TGA indicated that the kenaf fiber had the better hydrophilic properties by alkali treatment. The higher Tmax in TGA and the higher thermal stability when treated by alkali with the higher concentration. The fibers treated with an alkali concentration over 30% did not show any changes in Tmax.

The distribution of anionic groups in the fibers, the fines, the colloidal fraction and the dissolved fraction, respectively, of thermomechanical pulp (TMP) suspensions was determined and peroxide bleaching of spruce TMP were also studied. Spruce TMP was extracted with hexane, treated with alkali, or bleached with peroxide. Suspensions made at pH 5.5 were fractionated into long fibres, large fines, small fines, a colloidal fraction and a dissolved fraction. The charge of the fractions was determined using polyelectrolyte titration. To determined the origin of the charges, the contents of fatty acids, resin acids and acidic units in hemicelluloses in the different fractions were determined by has chromatography. Extraction of TMP with hexane prior to fractionation increased the measured charge of the fibres. The removal of the wood resin probably uncovered some carboxyl groups on the fibre surfaces, or improved th e penetration of polybrene into the pores of the fibres. The charge of the fines and the colloidal fraction was lower when the wood resin had been removed. Alkaline treatment of the TMP increased the charge of the fibres and fines, mainly because of demethylation of pectins. Alkaline treatment increased the charge also of the dissolved fraction, because of the release the charge also of the dissolved fraction, because of the release of pectic acids into the water phase. Alkaline peroxide bleaching further increased the charge of fibres and the dissolved fraction, most likely because of lignin oxidation. The charge of the colloidal fraction, consisting mainly of wood resin, was only slightly affected by alkaline treatment and peroxide bleaching. The anionic groups in TMP suspensions were mainly free uronic acids in the hemicelluloses. The contribution from the fatty and resin acids was substantial only for the colloidal fraction.

내분비장애물질은 분해가 매우 어려워 자연계에서 먹이그물을 통하여 사람에게 농축 전달된다. 이들은 정상적인 내분비계에 혼란을 일으키며, 특히 성호르몬의 작용에 많은 피해를 준다. 이를 효율적으로 분해하고 이들의 에스트로겐 활성을 제거하고자 백색부후균의 하나인 아교버섯(Phlebia tremellosa)을 활용하여 4가지 내분비계 장애물질의 분해에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 아교버섯의 manganese peroxidase (MnP) 활성을 높이기 위하여 구름버섯의 MnP 유전자를 아교버섯에 도입하여 형질전환체를 확보하였으며 이들은 유전적으로 MnP 활성을 안정되게 나타냈다. 내분비 장애물질을 분해하는 조건에서 내분비장애 물질에 따라 30${\sim}$45%의 분해율을 보인 야생형에 비하여 이 형질전환체들 중 T5는 70${\sim}$88%의 분해율을 보였으며 에스트로겐 활성의 제거에도 약 2배 향상된 능력을 보였다.
