Bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced by Gluconacetobacter hansenii PJK (KCTC 10505 BP) strains using the waste of beer fermentation broth. It contained more C and N than a basal medium with a small amount of S and more than 4％ ethanol. The amount of BC produced in a shaking culture using the waste of beer fermentation broth was nearly the same as that of a basal medium. The production of BC decreased in a shear stress field in a jar fermenter although the conversion of cellulose producing ($Cel^+$) cells to non-cellulose producing ($Cel^-$) mutants was not severe. This study showed that the waste of beer fermentation broth is an inexpensive carbon, nitrogen source with ethanol and thus a worthy substitute for the conventional medium for BC production.

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) or Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has been used to reduce the use of raw pulp and to improve paper strength. The problem of MFC preparation is high manufacturing cost. In this study, it was carried out to prepare MFC after enzyme beating and estimated properties of MFC. Endo-D was the best beating efficiency among three type of endo-glucanase. As the grinder pass number increased, the viscosity and the fines of MFC suspension increased while the crystallinity and the porosity of MFC sheet decreased. Also enzyme beating MFC was higher value in the crystallinity and lower value in the viscosity than non-enzyme MFC. In addition, the aspect ratio of MFC was the highest at 5 pass. MFC addition improved the handsheet strength and the air permeability but worsened the drainage.

The catalytic pyrolysis of cellulose was carried out over SAPO-11 for the first time. Pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy was used for the in-situ analysis of the pyrolysis products. The acid sites of SAPO-11 converted most levoglucosan produced from the non-catalytic pyrolysis of cellulose to furans. In particular, the selectivity toward light furans, such as furfural, furan and 2-methyl furan, was high. When the catalyst/cellulose ratio was increased from 1/1 to 3/1 and 5/1, the increase in the quantity of acid sites led to the promotion of deoxygenation and the resultant increase of the contents of light furan compounds. Because furans can be used as basic feedstock materials, the augmentation of the economical value of bio-oil through the catalytic upgrading over SAPO-11 is considerable.

For the development of the environment-friendly insulating composite materials, natural cellulose (wood chip and sawdust) was used as a core material and activated Hwangtoh was used as a binder. Various specimens were prepared with the water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. The physical properties of these specimens were then investigated through compressive and flexural strength test, absorption test, hot water resistance test, thermal conductivity, measurement of pore distribution and observation of micro-structures using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results showed that the absorption ratio increased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio but decreased remarkably with the increase of polymer/binder ratio. The compressive and flexural strength development varied appreciably with the increase of water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. On the other hand, thermal conductivity decreased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio and polymer/binder ratio. Through SEM, it was found that activated Hwangtoh that reacted with water formed a hydrate crystal leading to the compact structure and the total pore volume of the specimen using activated Hwangtoh was smaller than that of the non-activated Hwangtoh.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of oxidized cellulose that had been selectively oxidized with TEMPO(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine oxoammonium ion), NaBr and NaOCl substituting for 10% of the wheat flour in a yellow layer cake formula. Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of a cake containing oxidized cellulose were compared with a control cake and a cake containing non-oxidized cellulose(CNC). The cake sample with oxidized cellulose(COC) had smaller L and a values and greater b value than the control, with a greater cake volume. Results of sensory evaluation showed that grittiness of COC was about the same as that of the control, but weaker than that of CNC, and COC was more moist and less hard than the control. These observations indicated the possibility that the oxidized cellulose could be used as a dietary fiber in a cake without causing detrimental effect on textural characteristics.

This experiment was carried out to study fractionation and physicochemical characteristics of caprine casein. Acid caseins obtained from caprine colostral and normal milk were analyzed by chymosin treatment and fractionated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography with linear gradient and electrophoresis. Protein, fat and lactose of caprine normal milk were 2.70${\pm}$0.27%, 3.82${\pm}$0.51%, and 4.10${\pm}$0.29%, respectively. More non-protein nitrogen(NPN) was released by chymosin treatment from caprine colostral casein than normal casein. The electrophoretic pattern of caprine casein was not similar to that of bovine casein, Caprine normal casein was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography with a 0.08${\sim}$0.18 M NaCl linear gradient into 5 pes with the proportion of 5.27%, 26.07%, 25.97%, 30.40% and 12.29%, respectively. In order to identify the pure fraction, the chymosin-treated caprine normal casein was fractionated by DEAE-cellulosecolumn chromatography with a 0.08${\sim}$0.18 M NaCl linear gradient into 6 peaks with the proportion of 17.06%, 9.10%, 17.85%, 20.11%, 27.03% and 8.85%, respectively.

The effects of resistant starch (RS) and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) addition on the properties of hard wheat flour were investigated. Total dietary fiber (TDF) levels of various NSP ranged from 78.3-100.0%, but TDF and RS levels of autoclaved RS3 and cross-linked RS4 were 16.1 and 35.0% and 13.2 and 90.9%, respectively. DF-supplemented flour increased swelling power, but RS4-supplemented flour exhibited the lowest it. Solubility increased with the addition of pectin and RS3, but decreased with the addition of cellulose and RS4. RS-supplemented flour had increased lightness (L), but decreased values of redness (a) and yellowness (b). RS3 and pectin increased the dough development time, but RS4, cellulose, and chitosan decreased it. The water absorptions of pectin- and RS4-supplemented flours increased, however the dough stability decreased. The initial pasting temperatures of RS- and NSP-supplemented flours increased regardless of amount added, but the maximum peak viscosity decreased for all except the pectin-supplemented flour.

Since the 1930's, a rapid development of resin processing has contributed to making our clothing life convenient and rich. Wrinkle considered as the largest defect of cellulose fiber is generated from fixation of molecules which are divided by compression or crookedness. It can be protected by building a bridge between the molecules the joint combination of the inside of the fiber. The formaldehyde reactive resin which is used in processing resin is a chemical compound with more than 2 N-methylol or N-alkoxymethylol group and a chemical compound with N-methylol shows the property of W.W and D.P through the very complex bridge-bonding reaction under the OH group of cellulose and acid catalyst. However, if the processing is excessively carried out, resin-processed textile emits the formaldehyde when the bridge bonding agent reacts to amine type under the acid condition or the formaldehyde remains in the condition of non-reaction or the resin combinates by itself, or the methylol group of non-reactive resin is hydrolyzed due to the insufficient themomagnetic treatment.

A thin and porous non-flammable wiper was prepared by phosphorus acid solution treatment and subsequent oven annealing. The H₃PO₃ treatment improved flame retardancy of wiper paper to nonflammable level. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that residues increased to 50% at 700℃, which means this treatment helps dehydration of the cellulose chain and promotes the formation of char-like structures during the burning. FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that some of the added H₃PO₃ could react with the functional groups of the cellulose chain. The reacted H₃PO₃ components promote dehydration of the cellulose components and the formation of a char-like structure and improve the flame retardancy of the wiper paper.

Bacillus lichemiformis Kll, a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium was reported as a producer of auxin, siderophore, as well as antifungal cellulase under some culture conditions. In vitro test, B. licheniformis Kll represented excellent antagonistic ability against Fusarium oxyspoum (KACC 40037), and showed broad spectrum against other phytopathogenic fungi. B. licheniformis Kll had cellulolytic activity toward not only carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC) but also insoluble cellulose, such as fungal cell wall cellulose, filter paper (Whatman No. 1), and Avicel. In addition, we confirmed antifungal substance production by butanol-extract methods. The strain produced optimally the antifungal substance when it was cultivated at pH 9.0, 30${\circ}$C for 4 days on nutrient medium. The biological control mechanisms of B. lichemiformis Kll were caused by antifungal substance, cellulase and siderophore against phytopathogenic fungi.
