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.

In this study, we investigated the possibility of using hydrolysates of lignocellulosics (rapeseed straw, barley straw, rice straw) and marine macro-algae (Undaria pinnatifida, Laminaria japonica, Enteromorpha intestinalis, and Gracilaria verrucosa) to cultivate Chlorella saccharophila. The growth of C. saccharophila was inhibited by 7 hydrolysates without active carbon treatment. In contrast, hydrolysates treated with active carbon increased the cell growth and product (oil and chlorophyll) formation by C. saccharophila. The oil contents of C. saccharophila treated with each hydrolysate were $41.26{\pm}0.69%$ (glucose), $22.06{\pm}1.21%$ (rapeseed straw), $28.65{\pm}1.08%$ (barley straw), $31.15{\pm}0.76%$ (rice straw), $31.50{\pm}2.12%$ (U. pinnatifida), $31.49{\pm}4.53%$ (L. japonica), $29.63{\pm}3.93%$ (E. intestinalis), and $26.15{\pm}1.99%$ (G. verrucosa), respectively. Lignocellulosics and marine macro-algae may be useful resources for improving the mass cultivation of C. saccharophila.

Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel which can be obtained from the transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats and waste cooking oil. The objective of this study is to evaluate the properties of biodiesel obtained from different feedstocks (soybean, waste cooking, rapeseed, cottonseed and palm oils). The biodiesel derived from different feedstocks was analyzed for FAME (fatty acid methyl esther) content, kinematic viscosity, flash point, CFPP (cold filter plugging point) and glycerin content. The quality of biodiesel was tested according to the Korean and European standard (EN14214, requirements and test method for biodiesel fuel). The biodiesels derived from soybean, waste cooking, rapeseed and cottonseed oils contain high amount of unsaturated fatty acid, while palm biodiesel is dominated by saturated fatty acid. The fuel properties of biodiesel, such as low temperature performance, kinematic viscosity and oxidation stability are correlated with the FAME composition components in biodiesel.

To develop new varieties of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), the seeds of three varieties 'Naehan', 'Tammi', and 'Halla' were treated with proton ion beams and gamma rays (0~2,000 Gy), and then the characteristics of the mutants induced were examined up to $M_5$ generation to select the lines with fixed useful traits. In $M_5$ generation, we had selected several lines that were highly fixed for some useful traits such as plant height, maturity and flower size; one line with both earlier maturity and shorter stem than wild type, one line with only earlier maturity, two lines with shorter stem, one line with large flower, and one line with chlorophyll mutation. Among them, NP600-1-1-198-2 (induced from variety 'Naehan' was treated with proton ion beams 600 Gy) was superior for its distinction from the original variety, uniformity and stability. The unique characteristics of NP600-1-1-198-2 were dark green leaves, green stem, yellow flower, and black seed coat. Its flowering date was April 14, eight days earlier than its original variety, while seed maturity date was June 16 (five days earlier) and plant height 105 cm (shorter by 10 cm). NP600-1-1-198-2 has 52 silique per panicle, 6.2 cm silique length, 23 seeds per silique, 4.2 g per 1000 seeds and 45.9% oil content. The seed oil contained 67.8% of oleic acid, 16.7% of linoleic acid and 7.3% of linolenic acid but no erucic acid.

The objective of this study was to know the herbicidal activity of the essential oil from amyris (Amyris balsamifera). In a seed bioassay experiment, the amyris essential oil inhibited the growth of rapeseed (Brassica napus) by fifty percent at 8.8 ${\mu}g\;g^{-1}$. And in a greenhouse experiment, sorghum, barnyard grass and Indian jointvetch, which was applied in above-ground parts, with the amyris essential oil at 4,000 ${\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$ showed visual injuries of 90, 70, and 70, respectively (0, no damage; 100, total damage). However, soil application of the essential oil did not show such herbicidal injuries. In a field experiment, foliar application of the amyris essential oil at 5% controlled effectively weeds such as barnyardgrass, shepherd's purse, and clover in 24 hours. Our results indicated that the amyris essential oil had herbicidal activity. To understand the composition of the amyris essential oil, the oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectometry with solid-phase micro-extraction apparatus. There were 15 organic chemicals in the oil and the major constituents were calarene, elemol, ${\gamma}$-eudesmol, curcumene, ${\beta}$-sesquiphellandrene, zingiberene, selina-3,7(11)-diene, 1,3-diisopropenyl-6-methyl-cyclohexene, ${\beta}$-bisabolene, and ${\beta}$-maaliene. Overall results suggest that the amyris essential oil had a herbicidal activity with fast, contact, and non-selective mechanism.

In this study, biodegradable base Li-greases were prepared by using Li-soap thickener and vegetable oils such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, castor oil and synthetic ester. Also, EP-greases were formulated by blending base Li-greases, anti-wear additives, EP additives, anti-oxidants and corrosion inhibitor etc. And EP-greases were characterized by analysing physical properties such as worked penetration, dropping point, 4-ball wear, extreme pressure, thermal properties etc. Biodegradability of base Li-greases and EP-greases were evaluated by CEC-L-33-A-93 method using several inoculums of domestic sewage treatment plant. As the results, biodegradability of vegetable oils were shown at the range of 97.1 to $98.4\%$. And biodegradability of base Li-greases and EP-greases were $86.2\%\;\~\;89.3\%\;and\;83.4\%\;\~\;90.0\%$ which were lower value than those o( vegetable oils due to effect of Li-soap thickener, respectively. Therefore, the EP-greases prepared in this study were easily biodegraded by microorgnism.

For the encapsulation of flavor compounds, maltodextrin (MD), gum arabic (GA) alkenylsuccinated modified starch (MS) and gellan gum were chosen for wall materials and their combination was optimized. Five fruit flavor compounds having boiling point of $90{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ were selected as core materials and their mixture was incorporated with rapeseed oil (flavor mixture to oil = 1 : 4). Flavor compound mixture to wall material ratio of 1 : 4 was selected, and the amount of maltodextrin was fixed to 30% of the wall material mixture. Gellan gum was selected as an additional wall material to increase emulsion stability. The optimum combination ratio of the wall material mixture for maximal total oil retention and minimal surface oil content is : 30.0% MD ; 26.4% GA ; 39.6% MS ; 4% gellan gum.

We investigated the physicochemical and functinal properties of rapeseed(Brassica napus var. Youngsan) protein prepared by combining various soluvent and purification procedures, such as ultrafiltration (UF) concentration and acid-washin. The lightness value(YCIE) of each protein was greadully improved and its hydrophobicity increased by the degree of purification. The analysis of each protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-plyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) had nine bands revealed without difference, the considerable portion of which were of $1.96~1.59{\times}10^4$ dalton molecular weight. The content of amino acid increased a little more in the other processed proteins than in the control, and decreased considerably in the proteins extracted by the mixed solvent of 1% sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP) and 0.25M ethlene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The better proteins were purified, the lower the kinematic viscosities were in their values. The water absorption and foaming properties were scarcely different according to the processes. The oil absorption and the emulsion activity index normally increased according to the degree of purification. The properties of heat coagulation revealed high values only in the proteins processed by EDTA while they showed considerably low values the other proteins.

In deep-fat frying, the fats and oils are used over and over again, and moisture and air are mixed in to the hot oil. Many reports related to these fats and oils have been established that thermal and oxidative decomposition products and polymers formed under the conditions of deep fat frying are harmful to health. This work was carried out with 3 domestic frying oils and 6 used oils commercially, and that there were difficulties in finding a good definition between fresh oil and used oil with adding unheated oil. As starting materials, commercially used soybean oil and rapeseed oil already passed over induction period in the lipids oxidation standard. From the qualitative point of view, they were inferior to domestic frying oils. Free fatty acid and peroxide value of heated oils were increased gradually by the time pass whereas iodine value were decreased. After adding unheated oil to the heated oil, these values were restored to that of initial levels. On the other hand, content of polar components in the heated oil were directly related to the heating time. This result showed that polar compounds may be a clear indicator of used oils. Fatty acid composition in the used oils, unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid decreased while saturated fatty acid content increased with heating.
