As an ozone contactor, we newly adopted HJLR (High-performance Jet Loop Reactor) for the decolorization of Reactive black 5 and the mineralization of oxalic acid, which has been applied exclusively in biological wastewater treatments and well-known for high oxygen transfer characteristics. The ozonation efficiency for organic removals and ozone utilization depending on the mass transfer rate were compared to those of Stirred bubble column reactor, which was controlled by varing energy input in the HJLR and Stirred bubble column reactor. The results were as follows; first, the decolorization rate of Reactive black 5 in the HJLR reactor was nearly proportional to the increasing $k_La$. When the $k_La$ was increased by 25 % from $13.0hr^{-1}$ to $16.4hr^{-1}$, 30 % of the k' (apparent reaction rate constant) was increased from 0.1966 to $0.2665min^{-1}$ (Stirred bubble column; from 0.1790 to $0.2564min^{-1}$). Ozone transfer was found to be a rate-determining step in decolorizing Reactive black 5, which was supported by that no residual ozone was detected in all of the experiments. Second, the mineralization of oxalic acid was not always proportional to the increasing $k_La$ in the RJLR reactor. The rate-determining step for this reaction was OH(OH radical) production with ozone transfer, because residual ozone was always detected during the ozonation of oxalic acid in contrast with Reactive black 5. This result indicates that the increase of $k_La$ in the HJLR reactor is beneficial only when there are in ozone transfer limited regions. In addition, regardless of $k_La$, the mineralization of oxalic acid was nearly accomplished within 60 minutes. It was interpreted as that the longer staying of residual ozone by whirling liquid in the HJLR reactor contributed to an high ozone utilization(83-94%), producing more OR radicals.

The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data necessary for making a nuruk salt by comparing and analyzing the ingredients of various nuruk salts, and to select a nuruk salt that meets the users' needs. We selected the types of nuruk as the ihwaguk, miinguk, baekguk, and koji to identify the characteristics of the nuruk, and then analyzed the chemical characteristics after manufacturing the nuruk salts under the same conditions of fermentation, such as material ratio and temperature. In the manufacture of nuruk salt, the pH level dropped from 6.2~6.5 before fermentation to 6.1~6.2 three days after fermentation. The Acidity increased from 0.16~0.18 before fermentation to 0.22~0.25 after fermentation and there was no difference between the nuruk. The sugar content has risen since fermentation, and nuruk salt made by koji showed the largest increase in the sugar content. The salinity of the nuruk salt was raised to 37~44 after fermentation from 30~32 before fermentation and indicated largest increase in nuruk salt made by koji. Organic acids of nuruk salt were detected in the order of acetic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid. The oxalic acid of the baekguk salt was found to be 0.77 mg/mL, 2.3 times more of the koji, and the succinic acid was also found to be the highest with 1.19 mg/mL. Malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid were found to have the highest amount of koji salt at 0.29 mg/mL, 1.48 mg/mL, and 0.12mg/mL, respectively, making it a better taste to be soft than other nuruk salt.

Six reagents (water, citric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, acetic anhydride and maleic anhydride) were evaluated for their effectiveness is degumming rice bran oil. All chemical reagents tested were found to be significantly more effective than water in removing phosphatides from crude rice bran oil. Especially acetic anhydride and phosphoric acid were effective in reducing phosphorous levels (92.5% and 93.3% removeal, respectively). Nonhydratable phospholipids, lysophosphatidyl choline, were removed more effectively by the chemical reagents than by the water degumming. The major phospholipid(PL) components were phophatidyl choline. Oleic, linolieic and palmitic acids were the major fatty acids of PL in rice bran acetone insolubles(AI). The AI recovered by acetic anhydride degumming produced the most stable emulsions. However, the AI obtained from phophoric acid or oxalic acid treatments had very poor emulsifying properties.

In this study, we investigated the kinetics of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of xylan over a 60 min at $120^{\circ}C$. Sulfuric, oxalic and maleic acids were used as acid catalyst for hydrolysis. The calculated degradation rate constants ($k_1$) showed a correlation with the acid concentration, meaning that the stronger the acid, the higher the xylan degradation rate. Among sulfuric, oxalic and maleic acid catalyzed hydrolysis, the xylan degradation rate to xylose was highest with sulfuric acid. At equivalent solution pH, acid catalyzed hydrolysis was proportional to $H^+$ concentration. The $k_1$ of dicarboxylic acid such as oxalic and maleic acid was higher than that of sulfuric acid at same pH values during hydrolysis.

UV/VIS spectrophotometer interfaced with HPIC(High Performance Ion Chromatography) has been applied to the determination of lanthanide elements. The separation of lanthanide elements with HPIC helped to avoid erroneous analytical results due to interferences. Individual lanthanide elements at ppm level were separated on a HPIC CS5 column using pyromellitic acid and oxalic acid. The individual lanthanide elements were detected at 520nm following post-column reaction with PAR. Sm, Eu, Gd, Y, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Tb, and Lu were separated by pyromellitic acid. La, Ce, Pr and Nd were separated by oxalic acid. Appropriate pH of pyromellitic acid for separation was at pH 2.99.

Composition of organic acids and fatty acids in three edible mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinus edodes and Agaricus bisporus were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and compositional differences of these components depending on species, sizes and portions (pileus and stipe) were investigated. Lactic, oxalic. fumaric. citric and pyroglutamic acid were identified in each of the three mushrooms and the major organic acids were malic, citric and pyroglutamic acid, respectively. The total organic acid contents were in the range of 2.4-4.0% in Pleurotus ostreatus, 1.7-3.6% in Lentinus edodes and 1.9-3.1% in Agaricus bisporus. Especially oxalic and pyroglutamic acid in Pleurotus ostreatus, malic and citric acid in Lentinus edodes and fumaric acid in Agaricus bisporus were higher in pileus than stipe. The total organic acid contents decreased as the size of pileus developed and especially the decrease of citric acid were marked. On the other hand, the major fatty acids in three mushrooms were linoleic, palmitic and oleic acid. But fatty arid compositions were not significantly different depending on species, sizes and portions.

Nonvolatile organic acids were determined in raw Chinese cabbage, Kimchis fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ and at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. Total acids were isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and quantitative determination of individual acids was performed by silicic acid partition column chromatography. Acids were identified qualitatively by paper chromatography. Palatability of Kimchis was evaluated by nine pannels. Results were as follows: Maleic, fumaric, lactic, succinic, malonic, oxalic, glycolic, malic, citric, tartaric, sulphuric and phosphoric acid were found in raw Chinese cabbage. Kimchis fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, and at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. In raw Chinese cabbage, most of organic acids were in salt form and malic acid was highest in amount. In Kimchi fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, the amount of lactic acid and succinic acid was higher than that in Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$, and, tartaric, oxalic, malic, malonic, maleic, glycolic and fumaric acids were less than those in Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. Kimchi fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ had a more flavorous sour taste than Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. It is assumed that large amount of lactic acid and succinic acid in Kimchi fermented st $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ have a connection with flavorous sour taste.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of ginseng on the acceptability of kimchi for 9 days at $20^{\circ}C$. Kimchi was analyzed for the measurement of acidity, pH, saltiness, reducing sugar, hardness by Instron and organic acids by HPLC. Ten highly trained panelists were involved in the sensory evaluation. The data analysis revealed followings; 1. While saltiness was maintained at around 2.3% level during the entire fermentation periods, kimchi containing 2% and 4% ginseng showed higher pH, reducing sugar, hardness by Instron, and lower acidity than without ginseng. 2. Results from analysis of organic acids contained by HPLC revealed that all three groups contained relatively high concentration of oxalic acid, lactic acid and malic acid. It was also found that, as fermented progressed, the amounts of lactic acid and acetic acid increased, and those of tartaric acid and malic acid decreased while the concentration of oxalic acid did not change significantly. 3. A result of sensory evaluation revealed that kimchi containing 2% and 4% ginseng was higher in hardness, savory taste and carbonated taste, and lower in sour taste, moldy off flavor than kimchi without ginseng, thus scoring high in overall eating quality. Considering all results obtained throughout this experiments, it can be concluded that the addition of small amount of ginseng to kimchi improve overall acceptability and retard rancidity, thus increasing the period during which is eatable.

In chlorine dioxide delignification and bleaching the formation of chlorate is undesirable because it does not react with lignin and is harmful to the environment. Chlorate is mainly formed from the in-situ generated hypochlorus acid which is also the main reason for AOX formation. In previous literature scavengers of hypochlorous acid such as sulfamic aicd, DMSO, and hydrogen peroxide have been added to bleaching stages to reduce AOX formation but less attention has been paid to chlorate reduction. This paper thus focuses on the reduction of chlorate content caused by the following additives, sulfamic acid, DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, and oxalic acid. The results show that only sulfamic acid and DMSO reduce chlorate formation under our chlorine dioxide prebleaching conditions. Results by UV spectroscopy and pH adjustment show that scavengers react with hypochlorous acid much faster than with chlorine. Hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid react with HClO/$Cl_2$much slower than DMSO and sulfamic acid do. The reason for the ineffectiveness of hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid is ascribed to their slow reaction rates with HClO compared to that of chlorate formation. The fact that only 30-35% of the chlorate can be reduced by sulfamic acid and DMSO when charged in same mole ratio to chlorine dioxide, suggested that the reaction rate of DMSO and sulfamic acid with hypochlorous aicd are of the same magnitude as that of chlorate formation.
