The human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) was produced from cell suspension culture of transgenic tobacco which was transformed by using Agrobacterium harboring the hGM-CSF gene. To improve the production of hGM-CSF in batch culture system, the effects of initial sucrose concentration and inoculum size were investigated. The results show that the hGM-CSF production was not affected by small inoculum size in medium containing either low or high concentration of sucrose. However, the production of hGM-CSF was increased under increasing of the inoculum sizes and sucrose concentration. Under the combination of inoculum and sucrose concentration, the maximum hGM-CSF production of 720 $\mu$g/L was obtained at 90 g/L of initial sucrose concentration and 110 g/L of inoculum size.

This study was undertaken to find out the effect of eeg albumen concentration and addition of sugars on the functional properties of egg albumen before and after heat treatment at $60^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes. The turbidity was decreased until 8.3% protein concentration but increased as diluted and decreased again below 3.32% protein concentration before and after the heat treatment. The foaming power was peak at 8.3% protein concentration but decreased as diluted before and after the heat treatment. The foam stability was decreased as diluted before and after the heat treatment. The turbidity was not changed by addition of sucrose before the heat treatment and decreased after the heat treatment. The foaming power was decreased by addition of over 5% sucrose before the heat treatment and decreased by addition of over 2.5% sucrose after the heat treatment . The foam stability was increased by addition of over 5% sucrose before the heat treatment and increased by addition of sucrose after the heat treatment.

A qualitative study was made on the mechanism of dextran synthesis by dextransucrase. Enzymatic synthesis of dextran was experimentally studied with initial sucrose concentration from 50g/$\ell$ to 150g/$\ell$. The molecular weight distribution of synthesized dextran was measured by using on-line gel Permeation chromatographic system Sucrose was observed not to work as a primer within the range of concentration tested. At the initial sucrose concentration of 50g/$\ell$, dextran with molecular weight of medium range ($10^4-2{\times}10^6$) was synthesized due to the mass transfer limitation of sucrose. The amount of the dextran of medium range decreased with the initial sucrose concentration. Dextran was likely to be synthesized by radical chain polymerization mechanism since the dextran of medium range was not produced at higher sucrose concentrations.

The effects of sucrose concentration and nitrogen source on shoot growth and in vitro formation of garlic (Allium sativum L. cv Seosan) bulblet were investigated in order to systematize propagation of high quality garlic through a shoot apical meristem culture. Shoot differentiation was not affected by sucrose concentration and nitrogen source, but plantlets which contain medium of NH$_4$- N or NH$_4$ + NO$_3$ were vigorous and healthy in .appearance. Shoot growth was vigorous in changeing of nitrogen source. The best quality of in vitro bulblets was obtained in culture on the medium containing 8% sucrose and NH$_4$ - N, and the formation of bulblet was more effective when plantlets were subjected to cold treatment before use. NH$_4$-N was a major factor for shoot growth and bulblet development, but NO$_3$-N was not and suppressed $K^{+}$absorption. The level of ethylene production was not affected by different nitrogen sources, however this production was enhanced in medium containing a higher concentration of sucrose.e.

To further our understanding of sugar accumulation in 'Shiranuhi' mandarin [(C. unshiu ${\times}$ C. sinensis) ${\times}$ C. reticulate], we investigated the patterns of sugar uptake in juice sacs exposed to different concentrations of sucrose, fructose and glucose in vitro. Data was also collected on the change in weight and shape of the in vitro juice sacs over time. Soluble solids content, sugar content and acidity content were highest at 20% sucrose, fructose and glucose solution content; while fructose content was highest at 5% sucrose concentration. Furthermore, the juice sac's fresh weight was highest at 5% sucrose and lowest at 20% fructose content. The shape of the juice sacs also differed in different sugar concentration and type. Overall, sucrose, fructose and glucose content in juice sacs increased with the sugar concentration. These results suggest that sugar translocation into juice sacs is actively induced by high sugar concentration in the medium. Thus, it can be concluded that sugar and acid accumulation in juice sacs increased with sugar concentration in vitro culture.

The effects of ethylene glycol, DMSO and glycerol as cryoprotectants and the effect of concentrations(0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0M) of sucrose in the diluent on the viability of the aggregated morulae frozen rapidly in liquid nitrogen$(LN_2)$ vapour were examined. The morulae were produced by aggregation of ICR and CBA mice embryos at 8-cell stage. Before freezing the embryos were equilibrated in 1.5M cryoprotectants+0.25M sucrose in oae-step or in 3.0M cryoprotectants+0.25M sucrose in two-steps. The embryos were pipetted into the freezing medium fraction of 0.25ml plastic straws. The straws were frozeu by directly transfer into $LN_2$ vapour(about lcm above $LN_2$) for 2 minutes, and then plunged into $LN_2$. After thawing the cryoprotectants were diluted with 0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose solution. The post-thawed in vitro viability of the aggregated embryos was significantly dependent on the type and concentration of cryoprotectants in the freezing medium and also on the concentration of sucrose in the diluent. When the aggregated embryos were equilibrated in 1.5M cryoprotectants +0.25M sucrose in one-step and diluted with 0.5M sucrose after thawing, the survival rate of the embryo5 was significantly(p<0.05) higher in DMSO(62.5%) or ethylene glycol(52.2%) than in glycerol(33.3 %). In the case that the concentration of the cryoprotectants was raised to 3.0M in two-steps, thc higher survival rate of the embryos was obtained in ethylene glycol or glycerol than in DMSO followed by diluting them with 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose after thawing(p<0.01).

This study investigated the changes in textural characteristics that occurred by adding maltose syrup, dextrin, and sucrose to whole egg gels, by assessing coagulation after cooling. It also examined the optimal NaCl and sucrose concentrations for whole egg gels sensory evaluations, and then studied how the addition of sucrose effected gel formation and textural characteristics under optimal NaCl concentration. The additions of maltose syrup, dextrin, and sucrose, presented some color changes. The greater the addition of maltose syrup or dextrin, the lower the L, a, and b values of the whole egg gel and whole egg liquid, and ultimately the color turned dark bluish green. With increasing additions of sucrose, maltose syrup, and dextrin, the viscosity of the whole egg liquid increased slightly. In terms of the mechanical texture characteristic of the gel, the texture was most elastic with the 0.8% addition of sucrose, and hardness decreased by increasing the ratio of added sucrose. Increasing amounts of maltose syrup resulted in less hardness and SF. And for dextrin, the SF increased up to 2.5 and then decreased, and hardness decreased with increasing amounts of dextrin. Based on sensory evaluations, the 0.8% addition of NaCl was significantly preferred(p<0.05), in terms of salty taste. The overall preference scores indicated that the whole egg gel made with 0.3% sucrose and the optimal NaCl concentration(0.8%) was most preferred, and each sample was significant(p<0.05). Under the optimal 0.8% NaCl concentration increasing the sucrose concentration resulted in a darker egg gel color, in terms the L value. SF, NF, and hardness, which are mechanical texture parameters, were when 0.8% sucrose and the optimal NaCl concentration of 0.8% were added to whole egg liquid, in preparing the whole egg gel.

Production of human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) by Nicotiana tabacum cell suspension culture was studied in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with sucrose as a carbon source, ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate as nitrogen sources, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate hydrate as phosphate sources, respectively. Optimum concentrations for carbon, nitrogen, phosphate was determined to enhance the production of hGM-CSF. Cell growth was better at high initial sucrose concentration (60 g/L), high initial nitrogen concentration (121.04 mM). Maximum cell density (18.28 g/L) was obtained at 60 g/L of sucrose after 14 days. Cell growth was not so good at low initial sucrose concentration 00 g/L), but the highest hGM-CSF production was obtained at the latter half of exponential phase. hGM-CSF production increased about 3 fold at initial phosphate concentration of 4.96 nM

Aureobasidium pullulans produced high concentration of polyols extracellularly in the media of sucrose, glucose and mannose as sole carbon source. Mannitol was the main polyol produced during the late exponential and stationary phases of growth together with small quantities of glycerol. Sucrose and glucose were rather rapidly metabolized to mannitol among carbon sources examined where the initial glucose concentration showed no difference in the amount of mannitol. In contrast 20%(w/v) of sucrose was the most appropriate concentration tested. However, the yield of mannitol based on substrate used($Y_{p/s}$) was independent on the initial concentration, and the mean value of mannitol yield in 10% glucose and sucrose media was 0.144 and 0.188, respectively. Mannitol production was reduced in response to an elevated water stress imposed by salts within the range from 0.25 to IM of NaCl or KCl as stress solutes. However, glycerol contents and its ratio to mannitol were increased at the conditions of high salinity. Based on the results, extracellular mannitol produced by A. pullulans probably resulted partly from osmoregulation(in case of glycerol) and mainly from, as known to occur in most of fungi, enzymatic reduction of the corresponding hexoses through phosphate pathway.

In this study, glucose, sucrose, and dextrin were found to be better carbon sources for the production of pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans HP-2001. Maximal production of pullulan with 200 g/l sucrose as a carbon source was 54.2 g/l. The highest yield of pullulan from sucrose was 0.40, when the sugar concentration was 100 g/1. Optimal conditions for the continuous production of pullulan by A. pullulans HP-2001 in a 7-1 bioreactor were determined by studying the effects of composition of feed solution, dilution rate, and concentration of sucrose in the feed solution. Pullulan concentration and productivity with 100 g/l glucose and 2.5 g/l yeast extract were 38.1 g/l and 0.53 g/l h for 72 h, respectively, in a batch culture of A. pullulans HP-2001. When the substituted medium contained 100 g/l sucrose, 2.5 g/l yeast extract, and mineral salts, which is the same composition as the medium for the production of pullulan, the pullulan concentration and productivity were 74.9 g/l and 0.55 g/l h for 120 h, respectively. The production of pullulan at the steady state increased with a dilution rate up to 0.015/h, and its concentration was 78.4 g/l with a weight average molecular weight ($M_w$) of $4.0{\times}10^5$. Unlike a batch culture, however, the decline of the $M_w$ and the number average molecular weight ($M_n$) of pullulan was not found in the continuous culture of A. pullulans HP-2001. When the concentration of sucrose in the feed solution was 200 g/l, 113.5 g/l of pullulan was obtained at the steady state. The steady state was maintained longer in the continuous culture fed with the feed solution containing 200 g/l sucrose than when fed with the feed solutions containing either 100 or 150 g/l sucrose.
