The debranching enzyme of Nostoc punctiforme (NPDE) is a novel enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,6-glycosidic linkages in starch, followed by the sequential hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,4-glycosidic linkages. The debranching activity of NPDE is highly specific for branched chains with a degree of polymerization (DP)>8. Moreover, the rate of hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,4-linkages by NPDE is greatly enhanced for maltooligosaccharides (MOs) with a DP>8. An analysis of reaction mixtures containing various starches revealed the accumulation of maltooctaose (G8) with glucose and maltose. Based on the novel enzymatic properties of NPDE, an MO mixture containing more than 60% G8 with yield of 18 g G8 for 100 g starch was prepared by the reaction of NPDE with soluble starch, followed by ethanol precipitation and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The yield of the G8-rich mixture was significantly improved by the addition of isoamylase. In summary, a 4-step process for the production of a G8-rich mixture was developed involving the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch by NPDE.

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality properties of high quality rice. Seven rice varieties, Dabo, Daebo, Samkwang, Sindongjin, Sukwang, Jinsumi, and Haiami, were investigated for proximate contents and physicochemical characteristics. Moisture content was highest in the Jinsumi (13.13%). Protein and lipid content was highest in the Haiami. The amylose content of the rice cultivars was 20.15~22.51%. The degree of amylopectin polymerization (DP) was analyzed, and in all cultivars, DP 13-24 content was found to be highest, at more than 53%, whereas DP ${\geq}37$ content was lowest, at less than 5.81%. With regard to free sugar, maltose content in rice was the highest (${\geq}46%$). Toyo value of rice was highest in Samkwang, Daebo, and Jimsumi. Palatability characteristics were highest in Daebo and Jimsumi. Thus, the results of this study suggested that Samkwang, Daebo, and Jinsumi can be effectively used as processed cooked rice, though further studies should be required regarding changes in the quality of rice after cooking.

Sand casting 3D printing uses a binder jetting method to produce a mold having complicated shape by spraying a binder on sand coated with activator. Appropriate heat treatment process in sand mold fabrication can increase the degree of polymerization to improve flexural strength. However, long heat treatment of over 24 hours decreases flexural strength and reliability due to chemical bond decomposition through thermal degradation. The main role of the activator is to control the reaction rate between the polymer chains. As a result, when the activator composition is increased from 0.15 wt% to 0.25 wt%, the flexural strength is increased by 218 N/㎠. However, excess activator (0.40 wt%) has been shown to decrease reliability without increasing flexural strength. The main role of the binder is to control the flexural strength of the specimen. As the binder composition is increased from 2.00 wt% to 4.00 wt%, the flexural strength increases to about 255 N/㎠, indicating the maximum flexural strength increase. Finally, the reliability of the flexural strength of the fabricated specimens is evaluated by a Weibull plot. Weibull modulus calculations are used to evaluate the flexural strength reliability of the specimens, and maximum reliability value of 11.7 is obtained at 0.20 wt% activator composition. Therefore, it is confirmed that this composition has maximum flexural strength reliability.

Brown rot fungus, Tyromyces palustris, has been reported to cause the loss of strength accelerated by oxalate, a non-enzymatic low molecular weight acid, with minute weight loss of decaying wood in early stage. The production of oxalate in relation to wood decaying and the presence of oxaloacetase. an oxalate producing enzyme, were identified during the process. Tyromyces palustris produced the largest amount of oxalate among brown rot fungi. In order to find out the cleavage of pulp fiber, we submerged pulp fiber in oxalate solution and the results showed that the number of short pulp fiber was highly increased, compared with control solution. The pH of decaying wood was decreased to 1.77 which was close to that of saturated oxalate solution, pH 1.2, Thus, the oxalate was thought to be accumulated in the decaying wood, The oxaloacetase which accelerates production of oxalate was derived from fungus, and the production of oxalate by the enzyme was determined by using on UV/Vis spectrophotometer. Therefore, the oxalate was found to be produced by oxaloacetase during decay. The oxalate may cause the acid-hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose. The oxalate was thought to reduce the degree of polymerization and increase the enzyme activity, which resulted in rapid loss of strength in early stage-an identical feature of brown rot fungus.

Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)의 감염에 따른 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 변화에 대한 실험을 수행한 결과, HSV-1이 Vero 세포에 감염한 후 4시간째에 세포내 칼슘농도가 최대로 감소한 것을 알았으며 이러한 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소는 감염성 바이러스의 양에 따라 커지며, 유전자 발현 억제제의 처리나 바이러스의 불활성화에 의해 극복되었다. 따라서 바이러스의 유전자발현이 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소에 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 Vero 세포에 바이러스를 감염시키고 미세소관 안정제인 taxol을 처리하여 4 시간째의 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소가 극복된다는 사실로부터 바이러스이 유전자 물질의 이동에는 미세소관이 관여한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로부터 Vero 세포에서 HSV-1에 의해 유도되는 세포내 유리칼슘 농도의 감소는 HSV-1 증식과 밀접한 관계를 가진다고 생각된다.

The intention of this study is to investigate the properties of polymer blend, NBR/PVC vulcanizates and blending procedures such as roll-mixing temperatures and sequences for polymer blending of NBR and PVC(resin type). The results obtained are as follows: 1. The roll temperature applied for polymer blending is around $150^{\circ}C$. At this temperature region, the degradation of rubber stock, which may be caused by heat, can be minimized and mill processing in practical application in industries can also be facilitated. 2. It is obviously necessary that a small amount of plasticizers should be added to the stock for improving processibility of roll mixing and physical properties. 3. On roll-mixing sequence, it is more effective that PVC compounded with plasticizer is added to NBR milled on hot roll. 4. The vulcanizates of the blends with different degree of polymerization of PVC ale similar to one another in properties. 5. NBR/PVC(70/30) blends shows the better physical characters than eve,-made foreign latex blend except abrasion-resistance. 6. As PVC addition ratio is increased, the physical properties such as resistance to ozone, tear, heat and oil and tensile strength, modulus, hardness have also improved, on the other hand, tension set and rebound character decreased. 7. The curve of ultimate elongation have point of inflection at the ratio of $30\sim40$ part of PVC. 8. While CR is blended, the physical properties such as brittle point, rebound and resistance to oil in high temperature have improved. 9. Polymer blend of NBR and domestic PVC is applied for the industrial utility such as rubber sole and heel, electric wire cover and oil-resistant packing, coating and gasket, printing roll, film for food packing etc.

Prebiotic isomaltooligosaccharide preparations contain $\alpha$-D-glucooligosaccharides comprising isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) and non-prebiotic maltooligosaccharides (MOs). They are both glucose oligosaccharides characterized by their degree of polymerization (DP) value (from 2 to $\sim$10), linkages types and positions (IMOs: $\alpha$-(1$\rightarrow$2, 3, 6 and in a lower proportion internal 1$\rightarrow$4) linkages, MOs: α-(1$\rightarrow$4) linkages). Their structure is the key factor for their prebiotic potential. In order to determine and elucidate the exact structure of unknown IMOs and MOs, unambiguous assignments of $^{13}C$ and $^1H$ chemical shifts of commercial standards, representative of IMOs and MOs diversity, have been determined using optimized standard one and two-dimensional experiments such as $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, APT and ${^1}H-{^1}H$ COSY, TOCSY, NOESY and <$^1H-{^{13}}C$ heteronuclear HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY, and HMBC. Here we point out the differential effect of substitution by a glucose residue at different positions on chemical shifts of anomeric as well as ring carbons together with the effect of the reducing end configuration for low DP oligosaccharides and diasteroisotopic effect for H-6 protons. From this study, structural $^{13}C$ specific spectral features can be identified as tools for structural analysis of isomaltooligosaccharides.
