Optimum conditions of the cellulose-hydrolysis reaction with mixed enzymes(cellulase extracted from Penicellium funiculosum mixed with $\beta$-glucosidase extracted from Almod) were investigated to increase the production of glucose from cellulose. Experimental result showed that optimum conditions fro pH, activity ratio of $\beta$-glucosidase to cellulase, concentration of mixed enzymes, concentration of cellulose as a substrate, and temperature range were 4.2, 0.4, 0.8, U/mL, 40 g/L, and 37$\pm$3$^\circ C$, respectively. In these conditions, quantities of glucose productions by using mixed enzymes were larger than those by using cellulase at optimum conditions.

In order to reuse inulinase effectively, a method for immobilizing both endo- and exoinulinase to vinylsulfone activated agarose via covalent bond was investigated. The immobilized enzyme preparation had, respectively, 400 U for exoinulinase activity and 80 U for endoinu- Iinase activity per gram gel. A thermal stability by immobilization had increased in the case of exoinulinase. Optimum pHs for two immobilized enzymes were 4.4 to 5.0. Synergistic effect which depends on mixed ratio of two immobilized enzymes was the best when the mixed ratio of endo/exo lay between 0.1 and 0.5, and its activity of the mixed enzyme increased 1.7 times as compared to that of each immobilized enzyme. Inulinase activities of both of the immobilized enzymes did not change during 20 times experimental runs in a batch reactor.

A 12-week feeding trial was conducted with 87 g rainbow trout to evaluate the effects on growth performances, feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility of adding ${\beta}$-mannanase and ${\alpha}$-galactosidase enzymes, solely or in combination. Seven diets were prepared by adding ${\beta}$-mannanase, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase and mixed enzyme at two different levels (1 g/kg and 2 g/kg) to control diet (without enzyme) including soybean meal. Mixed enzymes (1 g/kg, 2 g/kg) were prepared by adding ${\beta}$-mannanase and ${\alpha}$-galactosidase at the same doses (0.5+0.5 g/kg and 1+1 g/kg). At the end of the experiment, addition of ${\beta}$-mannanase, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase and mixed enzyme to diet containing 44% soybean meal had no significant effects on growth performance and gain:feed (p>0.05). In addition, adding ${\beta}$-mannanase, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase and mixed enzyme in different rations to trout diets had no affect on nutrient digestibility and body composition (p>0.05).

This paper was carried out to investigate changes in cell wall, cell wall polysaccharides, pectic substances extracted from cell wall of persimmon fruits treated with polygalacturonase and $\beta$-galactosidase in vitro. Degrading degree of cell wall treated with cell wall-degrading enzymes were higher in order polygalacturonase, polygalacturonase+$\beta$-galactosidase and $\beta$-galactosidase. Contents of soluble pectic substances in cell wall treated with cell wall-degrading enzymes showed as the same order as degrading degree of cell wall, while contents of insoluble pectin lower. Contents of versene-soluble pectin and total pectic substance were not affected by cell wall-degrading enzymes. Contents of uronic acid and hexose in soluble material isolated from cell wall treated with polygalacturonase and mixed enzyme were higher than those of untreatment and $\beta$-galactosidase treatment.

Nicotine, the main alkaloid of tobacco, showed different effect according to the enzyme. Among investigated enzymes, protease was inactivated remarkably by nicotine and the mode of inhibition was examined. $\alpha$-amylase and $\beta$-amylase were not affected, and cellulase and glucoamylase were inactivated partially when the concentration of it was over 1.0% , but protease was inhibited powerfully by nicotine The inhibition of protease by nicotine was performed almost in the initial stage of reaction, and was not so much affected by temperature, and was reversible. The inhibition type of protease by nicotine appeared as a Mixed-type inhibition.

To extract insoluble proteins from abolished soybean meal, the meal was treatesd with phytase and protease produced by Aspergillus sp. SM-15 and Aspergillus sp. MS-18. The extraction of insoluble soybean protein was increased at alkaline range more than pH 5 in case of phytase, pH 7 to 11 in case of protease and pH 5 to 12 in case of the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease. The optimum extraction temperature of insoluble protein was 5$0^{\circ}C$ for phytase and the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease, and 6$0^{\circ}C$ for protease. The optimum treatment time for extraction of protein was 9 hrs for phytase, 11 hrs for protease and the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease and optimum unit of enzyme for extraction of protein was 600 unit, 40 unit and 900 unit＋60 unit in case of phytase, protease, phytase and protease, respectively. The treatment of mixed enzyme showed higher extracton rate of protein than single enzyme treatment. The foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity, and emulsion stability of soybean meal protein by the treatment of the enzymes increased at all pH range. Further more oil absorption as well as water absorption capacities by the treatment of the enzymes were also increased. The functional properteis of the soybean meal protein treated by the mixed enzyme were higher than those of soybean meal protein treated by the single enzyme.

Objective: This study investigated the association of enzyme-producing microbes and their enzymes with starch and hemicellulose degradation during fermentation of total mixed ration (TMR) silage. Methods: The TMRs were prepared with soybean curd residue, alfalfa hay (ATMR) or Leymus chinensis hay (LTMR), corn meal, soybean meal, vitamin-mineral supplements, and salt at a ratio of 25:40:30:4:0.5:0.5 on a dry matter basis. Laboratory-scale bag silos were randomly opened after 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days of ensiling and subjected to analyses of fermentation quality, carbohydrates loss, microbial amylase and hemicellulase activities, succession of dominant amylolytic or hemicellulolytic microbes, and their microbial and enzymatic properties. Results: Both ATMR and LTMR silages were well preserved, with low pH and high lactic acid concentrations. In addition to the substantial loss of water soluble carbohydrates, loss of starch and hemicellulose was also observed in both TMR silages with prolonged ensiling. The microbial amylase activity remained detectable throughout the ensiling in both TMR silages, whereas the microbial hemicellulase activity progressively decreased until it was inactive at day 14 post-ensiling in both TMR silages. During the early stage of fermentation, the main amylase-producing microbes were Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (B. amyloliquefaciens), B. cereus, B. licheniformis, and B. subtilis in ATMR silage and B. flexus, B. licheniformis, and Paenibacillus xylanexedens (P. xylanexedens) in LTMR silage, whereas Enterococcus faecium was closely associated with starch hydrolysis at the later stage of fermentation in both TMR silages. B. amyloliquefaciens, B. licheniformis, and B. subtilis and B. licheniformis, B. pumilus, and P. xylanexedens were the main source of microbial hemicellulase during the early stage of fermentation in ATMR and LTMR silages, respectively. Conclusion: The microbial amylase contributes to starch hydrolysis during the ensiling process in both TMR silages, whereas the microbial hemicellulase participates in the hemicellulose degradation only at the early stage of ensiling.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of n-6 linoleic acid and n-3 linolenic acid on lipid peroxidation and the activities of enzymes defending against oxidation, which are involved in the tumor promotion, and histolOgical changes of hepatocarcinogen treated rat liver. In this study, weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed one of three diets, containing 15% (w/w) of beef fat (BF), com oil (CO) or perilla oil (PO), for 11 weeks. During the 3rd week, experimental groups were injected with 2-AAF (50 mg/kg of BW) intraperitoneally 3 times. Findings show that the com oil diet group has greater liver MDA content than the beef fat and perilla oil diet groups. Also, it is observed that the perilla oil diet group has lower MDA content than beef fat and com oil diet groups, even though perilla oil is more desaturated than beef fat and com oil. In terms of activity, mixed-function oxidase activity is not Significantly affected by the different dietary fats and 2-AAF treatment. GSH-peroxidase, GSH-reductase and GSH-Stransferase activities are significantly higher in the CO+AAF group than those of the other groups. GST and GSH-Px are activated by 2-AAF treatment in the com oil diet group only. The hepatocytes of the BF+AAF group were the most severely degenerated, the second was the CO+AAF group and the least was the PO+AAF group. It was also found that dietary com oil increased lipid peroxidation and activated defense enzymes against oxidation in liver, but dietary perilla oil did not, or supressed defense enzymes. Therefore it is concluded that dietary n-3 linolenic acid in perilla oil inhibits lipid peroxidation and carcinoenesis in rat liver following 2-AAF treatment.
