This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatment and extraction methods on the water extraction yields of sugar, protein and phenolic compounds, and the antioxidative activity of extract from Ganoderma lucidum. The herb was ground, sifted, and treated for 10 min with microwave (2,450 MHz) and ultrasound (20 kHz), and then extracted by boiling underatmospheric pressure and pressured boiling. Particle size $(0.8\~2.4\;mm)$, extraction time (2 hr) and solvent/solid ratio (20:1) were selected as optimal conditions for extraction.. Microwave and ultrasound treatment increased the extraction yields of total sugar, protein and phenolic compounds and the radical scavenging activity of extract. In comparison with microwave treatment and ultrasound treatment, microwave treatment was more effective than that of ultrasound treatment. The yields of all three compounds and the radical scavenging activity of extract were higher in pressured boiling extraction than in boiling underatmospheric pressure. The results showed that microwave radiation and sonication prior to extraction, and pressured extraction could be utilized for improving the extraction efficiency of G. lucidum.

Solubilization phenomena of a protein in a reversed micellar solution were investigated and a hollow fiber membrane extractor was tested for reversed micellar protein extraction equipment. Alkaline protease was used as a model protein compound and the reversed micellar solution was consisted of AOT and isooctane. It was found that protein solubilization was strongly influenced by ionic strength and pH. The distribution coefficient of the protease between the aqueous solution and the AOT/isooctane solution was also observed to be as high as 4.0 within the scope of this experiment. A hollow fiber membrane extractor was constructed and tested for the protein extraction. The overall mass transfer coefficient at a typical experimental condition of this study was observed to be $6.7{\times}10^{-5}cm/s$. It was also found that the mass transfer resistance on reversed micellar solution was the dominant resistance for the protein transfer.

A comparative study of pretreatment and extraction methods was conducted to investigate their effects on nutritional and bioactive components during hot-water extraction of Acanthopanax senticosus. The herb samples, ground and sifted $(8\~20\;mesh)$ were pretreated with ultrasound (20 kHz), microwave (2,450 MHz) or roasting $(180^{\circ}C)$ for 10 min, and then extracted by a boiling $(180^{\circ}C)$ under atmospheric pressure or a pressured boiling $(121^{\circ}C)$ for 2 hr. In general, the pretreatments improved the extraction efficiency and the DPPH radical scavenging activity of extract. Particularly, the extraction yields of soluble solids, total sugar and phenolic compounds were increased in microwaving methods, and the protein yield and the radical scavenging activity were higher in roosting pretreatment. Yields of soluble solids, total sugar, protein and phenolic compouds in pressured extraction were higher than those in nonpressured extraction. These results suggested that pretreatment including microwave radiation, sonication and roasting and pressured extraction can be utilized for improving the extraction efficiency of A. senticosus.

To find the possibility in utilizing the fish meat processing by-products, protein nutritional quality and textural properties of crucian carp extraction residue (CCER, feeze dired) incorporated into cookies were investigated. Moisture, ash and protein contents in cookies were increased with the higher residue treatments, but lipid contents were similar within all levels (3%, 9% and 15%). Major constitutional amino acids were revealed as glutamic acid, proline, leucine and arginine, and the sum of those amino acids was about 50% of total amino acid contents. Cookies with residue (CCER) had higher (80.74~84.50%) in vitro protein digestibility than standard cookies (83.32%), while slightly lower trypsin indigestible substrate (TIS) contents were showed in CCER containing cookies than control. CCER treatments resulted the decreased protein nutritional quality in C-PER (computed protein efficiency ratio) value from 2.41 (standard) to 1.15 (cinnamon flavored. 9% CCER), and those C-PER of all cookies were lower than ANRC casein (2.50). Lipophilic browning was developed steadily till 60 days storage and a significant (p<0.05) changes of browning ws not noteed between 60 days and 90 days storage. Color of cookies, expressed as L, a and b value, was significantly (p<0.05) lightened with the increased CCER. Similar trends by treatments were noted for hardness. Cookies containing 9% CCER were similar to control regarding textual and sensory properties.

This study investigated the optimum pH conditions for efficient extraction of protein from defatted Tenebrio molitor (TM) larvae. We examined the anti-inflammatory effect of protein derived from defatted TM larvae obtained by an alkaline extraction method. Six extraction pH values (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) and three precipitation pH values (2, 4, and 6) were used. The protein content, browning degree, and recovery yield of the protein obtained under each pH condition were determined. For efficient extraction of protein from defatted TM larvae, a combination of an extraction pH of 9 and precipitation pH of 4 resulted in a 32.4% recovery yield based on the extraction value and degree of browning. To determine whether the protein ameliorated inflammation by inhibition of macrophage activation by lipopolysaccharides (LPS), we measured nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in LPS-stimulated raw 264.7 macrophage cells. The protein markedly inhibited the production of NO without cytotoxicity and reduced the expression level of COX-2 and iNOS protein through the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) signaling. These results suggested that protein derived from TM larvae could have potential applications in anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents and protein supplements.

Velvet antler (VA) is a historically traditional medicinal supplement and is well known in Asian countries for its pharmaceutical and health benefits. The objectives for this study were to optimize the hot water extraction (HWE) of VA for the Korean VA industry, and to determine the most effective pretreatment method among microwave (MW), ultrasonication (US), and enzymatic (EZ) techniques. Using response surface methodology, optimum extraction temperatures and times were determined by central composite design configuration based on extraction yield and sialic acid content. Various quality parameters of VA extract including yield, soluble solid, protein, and sialic acid contents were also compared with the conjunction of HWE and pretreatment. The yield and sialic acid content of VA extract were determined to be 40% and 0.73 mg/g, respectively, under an optimum temperature of 100℃ at 24 h of extraction time. The yields from VA extracts pretreated with MW, US, and EZ were 17.42%, 19.73%, and 29.15%, respectively. Among the tested commercial enzymes, pepsin was the most effective proteolytic enzyme and led to the highest yield (47.65%), soluble solids (4.03 °brix), protein (1.12 mg/ml), and sialic acid (3.04 mg/ml) contents from VA extract.

This paper introduces a novel way to leverage convolution parse tree kernel to extract the interaction information between two proteins in a sentence without multiple features, clues and complicated kernels. Our approach needs only the parse tree alone of a candidate sentence including pairs of protein names which is potential to have interaction information. The main contribution of this paper is two folds. First, we show that for the PPI, it is imperative to execute parse tree pruning removing unnecessary context information in deciding whether the current sentence imposes interaction information between proteins by comparing with the latest existing approaches' performance. Secondly, this paper presents that tree kernel decay factor can play an pivotal role in improving the extraction performance with the identical learning conditions. Consequently, we could witness that it is not always the case that multiple kernels with multiple parsers perform better than each kernels alone for PPI extraction, which has been argued in the previous research by presenting our out-performed experimental results compared to the two existing methods by 19.8% and 14% respectively.

In the protein macro array image, it is important to find out the feature of the each protein chip. A decision error by the personal sense of sight occurred from long time observation while making an experiment in many protein chip image. So the feature extraction is needed by a simulator. In the case of feature analysis for macro array scan image the efficiency is maximized. In the fluorescence scan image, the response for each cell have been depend on R, G, B distribution of color image. But it is difficult to be classified as one color feature in the case of mixed color image. In this paper, the response color of a protein chip is classified according to the fuzzy integral value with respect to fuzzy measure as the user desired color. The result of the experiment for the macro array fluorescence image with the Scan Array 5000 shows that the proposed method using the fuzzy integral is important fact to be make decision for the ambiguous color.

To extract insoluble proteins and improve physical properties of proteins, the sesame meal proteins was irradiated with $5\;kGy{\sim}20\;kGy$ at room temperature. The highest extraction rate of sesame meal protein was showed at irradiation dose of 5 kGy. The foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability of gamma irradiated sesame meal protein (GISP) were all increased as compared to those of the non-irradiated protein. Water absorption capacity of GISP was similar to that of non-irradiated protein and oil absorption capacity of GISP was decreased after treatment by gamma irradiation.
