Barley koji was made in order to investigate the lipid contents of barely koji during preparation. Diethyl ether extracts and 85% methanol extracts were extracted and purified. The lipid components were classified. The individual neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were fractionted, quantified and fatty acid compositions of the three lipids were determined. Total lipid contents of diethyl ether and 85% methanol extract of barley koji increased during preparation. Neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid contents in diethyl ether extract increased, however, neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid contents in 85% methanol extract decreased during koji preparation. TG content of the neutral lipid in diethyl ether extract decreased. Conversely, DG, FS, FFA and ES contents increased. But TG, DG and FS contents of the neutral lipid in 85% methanol extract decreased. LPC, (PC+PS), PI, PG and PE contents of the phospholipid on diethyl ether extract increased. But LPC, (PC+PS), PE and PI contents in 85% methanol extract decreased during koji preparation. Palmitic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid of neutral lipid in diethyl ether extract decreased, however, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic acid in 85% methanol extract decreased. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid of glycolipid in diethyl ether extract increased, but in 85% methanol extract they decreased except oleic acid. Palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoeic and linolenic acid of phospholipid in diethyl ether extract increased during koji preparation. On the other hand palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid in 85% methanol extract decreased but stearic and linoleic acid increased.

The 117 soybeans seeds were collected from the nine provinces of Korea, and protein and lipid contents, and fatty acid composition levels were evaluated to investigate their relationship. The 100-seed weights of the black soybeans were varied $27.7{\sim}33.1g$, while the 100-seed weight of yellow soybeans were varied $24.6{\sim}36.6g$. Protein and lipid content of the 117 soybean seeds was 38.3% and 17.8%, respectively Protein contents of the 59 black soybean seeds (38.6%) were significantly higher than those of the 58 yellow soybean seeds (37.9%). However, lipid contents of the black soybean seeds (17.6%) were lower than those of the yellow soybean seeds (18.1%). Linoleic and oleic acid composition levels of the 117 soybean seeds were 53.75% and 22.08%. Unsaturated fatty acid levels of soybean seeds showed a statistically significant variability among the nine provinces of Korea, however, the differences were not found in the linoleic (18:2) and oleic acid (18:1) levels. Therefore, it was considered that the significant variability of unsaturated fatty acid were mainly due to the variations of linolenic acid (18:3) level. The composition levels of linoleic, oleic, palmitic (16:0), and linolenic acid in the yellow soybean seeds were 53.43%, 22.73%, 12.23%, and 8.24%, while those of the black soybean seeds were 54.13%, 21.48%, 12.47%, and 8.31%. Obtained results suggested that fatty acid composition levels were varied and possibly influence by the phenotype of seed coat colors. Oleic acid, mono-saturated fatty acid, showed the most remarkable variability between yellow and black soybean seeds, and the composition levels were higher in the yellow soybean seeds. Relationship between unsaturated fatty acid levels and 100-seed weights in the yellow soybean seeds showed a negative correlation (r=-0.513, P<0.01), but no relationship $(r=0.154^{ns})$ was observed in the black soybean seeds.

In this paper, magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on micro-sized iron particles dispersed in silicone oil are presented. The iron particles are modified by adding different ratios of oleic acid and lauric acid as surfactants to the suspensions. Lauric acid was found to reduce the stability of the MRFs, and more lauric acid results in a higher rate of sedimentation. Further study showed that the formation and structure of lauric acid may result in the sedimentation of micrometer-sized particles. Meanwhile, the electro-resistance of MRF in this paper shows a decrease from beyond $6000M{\Omega}$ to $190{\Omega}$ with an increase in the external field from 0 mT to 400 mT.

Fatty acid composition of sesame oil could be distinguished from that of rapeseed oil and soybean oil by the content of linolenic acid. The relative composition of each fatty acid revealed the clear difference between sesame oil and other vegetable oils except corn oil. Ricebran oil was different from sesame oil in the relative composition of palmitic acid with respect to stearic acid and cottonseed oil in oleic acid to linoleic acid. ${\delta}^{13}C$ of corn oil was $19.40%_{\circ}$, in oleic acid and $-17.11%_{\circ}$, in linoleic acid, while that of sesame oil was $-27.60%_{\circ}$ in oleic acid and $-27.70%_{\circ}$ in linoleic acid. Therefore, most adulterant could be detected by comparing the ratio of fatty acids in vegetable oils except corn oil. It could, however, be detected by comparing carbon isotope ratio in the case of corn oil.

This study was conducted to develop a fast and efficient screening method to determine the quantity of fatty acid in peanut oil for high oleate breeding program. A total of 329 peanut samples were used in this study, 227 of which were considered in the calibration equation development and 102 were utilized for validation, using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). The NIRS equations for all the seven fatty acids had low standard error of calibration (SEC) values, while high R2 values of 0.983 and 0.991 were obtained for oleic and linoleic acids, respectively in the calibration equation. Furthermore, the predicted means of the two main fatty acids in the calibration equation were very similar to the means based on gas chromatography (GC) analysis, ranging from 36.7 to 77.1% for oleic acid and 7.1 to 42.7% for linoleic acid. Based on the standard error of prediction (SEP), bias values, and $R^2$ statistics, the NIRS fatty acid equations were accurately predicted the concentrations of oleic and linoleic acids of the validation sample set. These results suggest that NIRS equations of oleic and linoleic acid can be used as a rapid mass screening method for fatty acid content analysis in peanut breeding program.

For the purposes of clarifying the changes of fatty acid content in seeds of korean mung bean during the ripening process, samples ranging in five stages-10.15,20,25 and 30 days after blooming were collected and analyzed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC). The results obtained were as follows; The content of crude fat increased as ripening. Fatty acids detected in all stages were myristic acid palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Myristic acid and palmitic acid were not almost detected above the 3rd stage. Linoleic acid was the largest and the content of oleic acid and linolenic acids was similar. The saturated and unsaturated fatty acid ratio during the ripening process was 16-19/81-84%.

Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merill] are a rich source of antioxidants and other phytonutrients. Soybean sprouts contain many biologically active secondary metabolites and are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. In the present study, two soybean cultivars, Hosim, with high oleic acid (- 80% in total seed oil), and Pungsannamul, with normal oleic acid (- 23%) in seed, were examined for changes in the content of crude protein, crude oil, total flavonoids, total phenolics, and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) during the sprouting duration of 5 days. The protein content in both the varieties was found to increase by the days of sprouting. The crude oil content of Pungsannamul sprouts was found to be maximum on day 1 (16.9%, w/w) and decreased thereafter to reach to the level of 14.8% on day 5. No significant differences in the crude oil content of Hosim sprouts from day 1 to 5 were observed. Flavonoid content was found to increase up to day 4 and then dropped on day 5, in both the cultivars. Total polyphenol content showed a tendency to increase up to day 3 and started to decrease significantly from day 4. DPPH activity was found to increase up to day 5 in both the varieties. All the components studied in the high oleic acid soybean sprouts showed a change in content during the sprouting process similar to the change that would occur in normal oleic acid soybeans. The study showed that the contents of antioxidant, flavonoid, and polyphenol significantly increase during the sprouting.

We experimented with the effect of oleic acid and its appropriate concentration to prevent powdery mildew eco-friendly in a cucumber greenhouse cultivation. 'Baekbongdadaki' (Nongwoo Bio. co. Korea) was treated in the plastic greenhouse at Sangmyung University. We treated four levels of concentration of oleic acid, which were 0, 2000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 ppm. There were investigated diseased severity, diseased leaf area, control value, and pesticide injury. The degree of control values by oleic acid treatments was investigated at 3 days after treatment. The recurrence of powdery mildew was checked for 55 days. The day and night temperature in the greenhouse were controlled to 23 and $15^{\circ}C$ respectively. The humidity inside the greenhouse was not controlled to prevent outbreak of the disease. From the experimental results, oleic acid was very efficient to control powdery mildew. 2000 ppm of oleic acid was shown to be the most control efficiency without any pesticide injury. The recommended method to treat it was to spray three times every 3 weeks.

Flavobacterium sp. strain DS5(NRRL B-14859) was used to convert oleic acid to 10-ketostearic acid(10-KSA) via 10-hydroxystearic acid(10-HSA). Increase in cell concentration by centrifuging, collecting cells grown in two flasks, and resuspending in one flask, improved 10-KSA production to 6.5 g/L from 3.5 g/L in a usual flask culture. Tween-80 addition to the culture did not greatly affect the production of 10-KSA and 10-HSA. When culture broth was centrifuged after fermentation, it was observed that pellets were separated into two parts(yellow and white). Gas chromatography analysis showed that 10-KSA and 10-HSA were detected only in a white pellet, suggesting that the bioconversion products of strain DS5 are extracellularly produced and can be easily recovered from cells by a simple centrifugation step.

Unlike resistant cells, persister cells resist antibiotics due to a decreased cellular metabolic rate and can transition back to normal susceptible cells when the antibiotic is removed. These persister cells contribute to the chronic symptoms of infectious diseases and promote the emergence of resistant strains with continuous antibiotic exposure. Therefore, eliminating persister cells represents a promising approach to significantly enhance antibiotic efficacy. Here, we found that Coicis Semen extract reduced Staphylococcus aureus persister cells at a concentration of 0.5 g/L. Linoleic acid and oleic acid, the major components of Coicis Semen extract, exhibited a comparable reduction in persister cells when combined with three antibiotics: ciprofloxacin, oxacillin, and tobramycin. Conversely, these effects were nullified in the presence of the surfactant Tween 80 (1%), suggesting that the hydrophobic characteristics of linoleic acid and oleic acids play a pivotal role in reducing the number of S. aureus persister cells. Considering the concentration-dependent effects of linoleic acid and oleic acid, the persister-reducing activity of Coicis Semen extract was primarily attributed to these fatty acids. Moreover, Coicis Semen extract, linoleic acid, and oleic acid increased the cell membrane permeability of S. aureus. Interestingly, this effect was counteracted by 1% Tween 80, indicating a close association between the reduction of persister cells and the increase in cell membrane permeability. The identified compounds could thus be used to eliminate persister cells, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy and shortening treatment duration. When used in conjunction with antibiotics, they may also mitigate chronic symptoms and significantly reduce the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
