Carotenoids isolated from orange peels were determined physicocohemical properties with TLC, UV-spectrophotometer and HPLC etc., and the results were as follows . Maximum absorption wavelength of the isolated carotenoids was 415nm when the result was similar to $\beta$-carotene as 423nm. Eight spots were obtianed from TLC, and identified lutein, lycopene, $\alpha$-carotene and $\beta$-carotene with HPLC. The effect pH during the storage period of isolate carotenoids, the period when the amount of pigment retention was over 50% in pH 5, 6 and 7 , after 10 days . The amount of pigment retention was lower in control than in treatment of sugars such as fructose, glucose and sorbitol , but sucrose was similar to the control, Isolated carotenoids were stable to ascorbic acid, and the amount of pigment retention was over 70% after 10 days. The amount of pigment retention in the effect oforganic acid was higher in treated citric acid , lactic acid and tartaric acid than in control, but lower in treated maleic acid and succinic acid. Isolated carotenoids were stable at 50 $^{\circ}C$, and the amount of pigment retention was over 50% at 10$0^{\circ}C$.

Fatty acid, amino acid and organic acid contents were analyzed by gas chromatography, amino acid analyzer and high pressure liquid chromatography, respectively, in order to compare the chemical constituents of upland wasabi plant propagated by seed and auxiliary bud. Total fatty acid content and fatty acid composition of upland wasabi were not affected by the propagation methods. Generally, fatty acid content of leaf was higher than that of other parts such as enlarged stem, petiole, peduncle and root. In fatty acid composition, leaf had highest content of linolenic acid, 60-63%, in plant propagated by both seed and auxiliary bud, followed by palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid in the order. Similarly, total amino acid content was not influenced by propagation methods but plant propagated by seed had higher amount of amino acid content in enlarged stem, petiole and root than that by auxiliary bud -propagated plant. A total of 17 amino acids including 7 essential amino acids were identified in both seed and auxiliary bud propagations. Like total fatty acid content and fatty acid composition, leaf contained high amount of amino acids, especially glutamic acid, asparatic acid and leucine. Organic acid contents were similar in both propagation methods. The major organic acid in upland wasabi was acetic acid (60.0-78.2%), followed by succinic acid (9.9-29.7%) and malic acid (2.9-7.9%). Maleic acid content was least (0.5-2.6%). The result indicates that content and composition of fatty acid, amino acid, and organic acid in upland wasabi were not influenced by propagation methods.

Crosslink characteristics of maleic anhydride-grafted EPDM (MAH-g-EPDM)/zinc oxide composite were investigated by weight losses after dichloroacetic acid (DCA)/toluene cosolvent extraction at different temperatures and by measurement of crosslink densities. The chemical changes were analyzed using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The weight losses by extraction at high temperature ($90^{\circ}C$) were remarkably greater than those at room temperature and those by DCA/toluene cosolvent extraction were greater than those by toluene one by more than 5 times. The crosslink densities were measured after the solvent extraction, and the second crosslink densities were higher than the first ones. The first crosslink density was lower when the extraction temperature was high, and it was much lower for the toluene extraction than for the DCA/toluene cosolvent extraction. The second crosslink density of the sample extracted with DCA/toluene cosolvent was greater than that extracted with toluene. The extracted components were depending on the extraction solvents and temperatures, for example; only strong crosslinked networks were remained when extracting with DCA/toluene cosolvent at high temperature, while only uncrosslinked polymer chains were extracted when extracting with toluene at room temperature. Therefore, crosslink characteristics of the MAH-g-EPDM/zinc oxide composite can be analyzed by comparison of the extracted components according to the extraction solvents and temperatures and by measurement of successive crosslink densities.

Garlic was stored at 4, 8, and $12^{\circ}C$ to investigate the development of green discoloration. Green discoloration developed after 7 day of storage ar $4^{\circ}C$, while it developed after 15 day of storage at 8 and $12^{\circ}C$. The effect of maleic hydrazide fertilization on green discoloration of garlic was not observed. Green discoloration of garlic was accelerated by gamma-radiation treatment. The addition of cysteine did not prevent green discoloration, which decreased the commercial value of the garlic due to the presence of white specks on the surface. When 3% ascorbic acid was added to the garlic, green discoloration developed in 6 and 24 hr at room temperature and $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The tendency of garlic to discolor was also investigated at various storage temperatures. Discolored garlic stored for 30 day at low temperatures was conditioned at $20{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for 20 day. The green discoloration of garlic conditioned at 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ did not disappear in 20 day, but disappeared in 20 day when conditioned at $30^{\circ}C$. The L, a, and b values of garlic conditioned at 35, 40, and $45^{\circ}C$ for 4 day were similar to those of normal garlic. Conclusively, our results indicated that the best method for suppressing green discoloration was conditioning discolored garlic at $35^{\circ}C$ for 4 day.

The basic medium oil modified alkyd resin was synthesized from linseed oil fatty acid(LOFA), phthalic anhydride(PAA), maleic anhydride(MA) and trimethylol propane(TMP) by condensation polymerization at $230^{\circ}C$. MA/TMPTA modified water-reducible alkyd resins were synthesized with TMPTA graft copolymerization onto the basic resin at $180^{\circ}C$. Acid value of the resin was controlled by the addition amount of MA and N,N-dimethylethanol amine(DMEA) was used as a neutralizing agent to prepare of the water-reducible alkyd resin. The effect of TMPTA on the graft copolymerization of the resin was studied by measuring molecular weight glass transition temperature(Tg), viscosity, graft efficiency, and gel contents of melanin cured film. Heat resistance, UV resistance and water resistance of cured film of MA/TMPTA modified resin was compared to those of TMA/TMPTA modified alkyd resin. The molecular weight, viscosity gel contents and graft efficiency of water reducible alkyd resin were increased according to the TMPTA graft copolymerization, but Tg was decreased. The viscosity was lower when the solid contents reached 40% than that of 30% content and also and also became lower with the extent of neutralization ratio, The heat resistance, UV resistance and water resistance of the MA/TMPTA modified alkyd resis were better than those of TMA/TMPTA modified alkyd resin but the storage stability of the TMA/TMPTA alkyd resis was better than that of MA/TMPTA modified alkyd resin.

Polyester was prepared through the esterification reaction between watsepaper liquefied by ethylene glycol and carboxylic acid. Liquefaction was carried out at the previously determined condition of 100 minutes, $160^{\circ}C$, and 3% sulfuric acid, and the hydroxyl value of the liquefied product was 411 mg KOH/g. In order to remove bubbles produced during the curing step, the method to introduce a slight nitrogen stream into reaction vessel and/or the method to preheat a polyester film at $85^{\circ}C$ before curing step were used alone or in combination. But if curing temperature was $130^{\circ}C$, simple method to cure a film for 5 hours at $130^{\circ}C$ without using both methods was found to be most effective. The polyesters prepared with various carboxylic acids showed significant different physical properties, and maleic acid was best among them. Also, the effect of reaction time and temperature, C/H (carboxyl group/hydroxyl group) ratio, and type of additive on the crosslinkage of polyester was investigated. Lithium hydroxide or citric acid as additive was used to enhance the crosslinkage of polyester and citric acid was proved to be much more effective than lithium hydroxide. The effect of reaction temperature on the crosslinkage was marginal, but the crosslinkage decreased above $130^{\circ}C$. The crosslinkage was 86% when the polyester was prepared at an optimum condition such as $130^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes of reaction condition, 1.5 of C/H ratio, $130^{\circ}C$ and 5 hours of curing condition, and 10% addition of citric acid.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of in vitro studies comparing the effectiveness of QMix irrigant in removing the smear layer in the root canal system compared with other irrigants. Materials and Methods: The research question was developed by using Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and Study design framework. Literature search was performed using 3 electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCOhost until October 2019. Two reviewers were independently involved in the selection of the articles and data extraction process. Risk of bias of the studies was independently appraised using revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0) based on 5 domains. Results: Thirteen studies fulfilled the selection criteria. The overall risk of bias was moderate. QMix was found to have better smear layer removal ability than mixture of tetracycline isonomer, an acid and a detergent (MTAD), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and phytic acid. The efficacy was less effective than 7% maleic acid and 10% citric acid. No conclusive results could be drawn between QMix and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid due to conflicting results. QMix was more effective when used for 3 minutes than 1 minute. Conclusions: QMix has better smear layer removal ability compared to MTAD, NaOCl, Tubulicid Plus, and Phytic acid. In order to remove the smear layer more effectively with QMix, it is recommended to use it for a longer duration.

A pot experiment was carried out to find the effects of chemicals and its application time on the sterility and other agronomic characters of rice. Two rice cultivars, Samgangbyeo, a Tongil type, and Chuchungbyeo, a japonica type rice were treated with maleic hydrazide (6000ppm), ethephon (6000ppm) and GA3 (10ppm) at five different growth stages. The application times of chemicals were comprised of two different stages of stem elongation and booting and panicle emerging stage. Grain sterility and panicle length were measured for panicles per pot. Culm length was measured for pot basis. MH induced complete grain sterility in rice, but caused severe plant damage (phytotoxicity) ; restricted spike emergence and drying out of plant leaves, sheath and panicles. Ethephon induced 50-60% grain sterility in rice with the least in plant damage. GA3 was not effective in inducing grain sterility in rice, but it increased culm length. The earlier application of chemicals, the higher sterility was induced. Both MH and ethephon reduced culm length and grain yield. Also observed was the varietal response in the occurrence of to chemicals Samgangbyeo showed the higher response to chemicals than Chuchungbyeo.

Weight loss treatment of a fiber leads an improvement of its handle and drape properties. Hydrolysis of a fiber is commonly known as a method to reduce its weight of 5-40%. Most of the studies on the weight loss treatment are mainly based on polyester fibers and there has been almost no study on the weight reduction of nylon fibers. In this study, however, in order to develop a use of nylon 6 fiber for the industrial applications such as toothbrush, underwear, carpet and more, weight loss treatment of a nylon 6 fiber was carried out. Under various treatment conditions, morphological analysis were done to observe the change in the structure of the surface and analysis. From the observation of formic acid treated nylon 6 fiber, there were many etched and deformed morphologies. Thermal and crystalline properties were analyzed to find the changes in the crystal structure caused by the weight loss treatment. There were little differences in the crystalline properties of nylon 6 fiber by formic acid treatment. Tensile strength of nylon 6 fiber decreases with acid concentration. The FITR peak intensity of the amide bond decreases with formic acid concentration.

Naphthalene sulfonated condensate has been widely used as a superplasticizer for cement and concrete, but the application was limited due to its large slump loss with elapsed time. To complement this demerit of NSF, polycarboxylic acid copolymer from nlaleic anhydride and acryl~c acid(MA) was synthesized to retain the mobility of cement and concrete, and then mixed with NSF. The physical properties, such as fluidity, fluidityretention and rheology, were measured by applying these admixtures to cement paste as a function of elapsed time. And also compressive strength of mortar was measured with curing time. NIv-l and NM-2 containing 10, 20 wt% of MA respectively had a excellent fluidity and a fluidity- retention. In rheological property, the increases of shear stress and viscosity with elapsed time were delayed with the increasing of shear rate in cornparision with NSF only. The marked slump loss of cement paste could be controlled by these admixture. Also the added ainount of admixture and the ratio of water to cement affected these properties.
