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 genetically-engineered Escherichia coli strain, DPD2540, which contains a fabA:::luxCDAbefusion gene, gives a bioluminescent output when membrane fatty acid synthesis is needed. For more pactical application of this strain in the filed as biosensor, freezedrying was adopted. A 12% surcrose solution with Luria-Bertani (LB) broth, as determined by the viability after freeze-drying, was found to be most most effective composition for lyophilization solution among various compositions testitons tested. Rapid freezing with liquid nitrogen also gave the best viability after freeze-drying as compared to samples frozen at-7$0^{\circ}C$ and -2$0^{\circ}C$. The biosensing activities of the cells showed a greater sensitivity when the cells from the expontial phase were freeze-dried. Finally, the optimum temperature for use of the freeze-dried cells in the biodencor field was determined.

중량 평균 분자량이 1.22$\times$106이고 다분산도가 8.90이며 수분과 아밀로오스 함량이 각각 9.35%, 27%인 도토리 전분에 sucrose를 첨가하여 동적 유변학적 특성에 대한 온도와 농도의존성을 고찰하였다. AS(acorn starch)-sucrose 계의 점도는 전단속도가 증가하면 감 소하는 전단담화 현상을 나타내며 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 점도가 증가하였고, Casson 식에 의해 얻어진 항복치는 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 증가하였다. 저장영률과 손실영률은 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 단일하게 증가하였고 손실 탄성률은 온도가 증가하면 감소하였다. DSC 측정자료를 zipper model에 적용시켜 본 결과 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 zipper의 수 와 junc-tion zone의 수는 증가했으며 크기는 감소하였다. Sucrose는 전분과 수소결합을 형 성하여 용액내에서 가소제처럼 거동함을 알수있었다.

뽕잎의 지금까지 박ㄹ혀진 생리활성은 중금속 흡착과 해독효과, 황산화 효과, 혈중지질 억제효과 및 혈당강하 효과를 들 수 있는데, 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 뽕잎이 Cd과 Pb같은 중금속에 대한 흡착 및 해독작용에 미치는 영향을 조사해 본 결과, 납중독으로 인하여 감소된 Hb와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎 투여로 증가되었고 특히 gpa합성에 관여하는 DALAD효소 활성을 증가시켰다. 또한 뇨로의 Pb의 배설 효과가 뽕잎 투여로 증진되었으며 각 조직으로의 Pb축적을 감소시켰다. Cdwndehr으로 중독시킨 흰쥐에서도 감소된 Hd와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎투여로 증가되었고, 특히 간조직 중의 Cd축적을 61%로 감소시켜 유의성있게 감소시켰다. 또한 뽕잎투여로 인하여 변으로의 Cd의 배설효과는 38%였고 이는 녹차투여 효솨보다는 낮은 수준이었다. 2)뽕잎의 향산화 효과는 녹차와 거의 비슷하였고 특히 혐기 처리함으로써 그 활성이 증가하였다. 또한 뽕잎중의 황산화 활성 성분은 10여종 flavonoidfb 이었고 그 중 quercetin이 가장 높은 황산화 활성을 나타냈다. 특히 dlavonidfb 화합물 중 kaempferol계열의 화합뭉이 황산화 효과가 높음을 알수 있었다. 3) 뽕잎의 고지혈 억제작용에 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과 뽕잎은 혈중 총 콜레스테롤이 차지하는 비율을 보였고 특히 혈중 중성지질 함량을 감소시킴으로써 정상의 80%수준까지 회복시켰다. 또한 콜레스테롤 생합성에 관여하는 효소활성을 뽕잎의 메탄올 추출물 중 물분획뭉이 59.9%수준으로 억제시켰고 지방분해효소 활성은 유의적인 수준은 아니었지만 16% 증가시켰다. 4) 뽕잎의 혈당강하 효과는 뽕잎을 질소가스를 이용하여 혐기처리하는 경우 유의적으로 그 효과가 증강되었다. 또한 뽕잎은 대조약물인 acarbose의 10배 용량에서 대조약물보다 23% 이상의 혈당강하 효과를 나타냈다. 이들의 혈당강하 효과는 같은 농도에서 인슐린 함량을 27%회복시켰으며 특히 surcrose와 maltose와 같은 이당류를 부하시켰을 때 혈당 강하 효과는 유의적이었다. 이는 뽕잎의 혈당강화 효과는 인슐린생합성 증가에 의한 것보다는 glucosidase의 활성을 억제시키는 기전이 더 많이 관여하는 것으로 판단할수 있었다. 또한 뽕잎 중의 혈당강하 성분으로 알려진 1-deoxynojirimycin 함량은 혐기처리로 인하여 그 함량이 5%정도 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 뽕잎의 생리활성 결과에 기초할 때, 뽕잎은 고지혈증을 포함한 성인병 질환의 예방과 회복에 관련되는 조절기능을 생체에 충분히 발휘할수 있는 기능성 식품의 중요한 자원으로 이용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Changes of principal components of crude green tea were determined after 30 min. of heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$, l15$^{\circ}C$, 14$0^{\circ}C$, 16$0^{\circ}C$. Four kinds of free sugars(sucrose, fructose, glucose, raffinose) and an unidentified sugar compound were separated in green tea by using High Performance LiQuid Chromatography (H.P.L.C.). 26-34 peaks were isolated as aroma compounds of green tea by means of Gas Liquid Chromatography(G.L.C). The typical aroma component of green tea such as linalool, furfural, benzyl alcohol and 13 other substances were identified. Contents of most compounds were decreased by heat treatment. Especially contents of free amino acids, free sugars, vitamin C and tannins were decreased remarkably, while those of total nitrogen and soluble nitrogen were hardly changed. The effect of heat treatment on organoleptic quality of tea extracts were examined by sensory evaluation of which result indicated the most favorable tea was produced at 115$^{\circ}C$. The Percentages of loss in contents of total sugars, reducing sugars, vitamin C, free amino acids and tannins at 115$^{\circ}C$ were 17%, 16%, 36%, 12% and 15% respectively, while those were 38%, 53%, 55%, 74% and 23% at 16$0^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to develop the propagation system using in vitro induced- microtubers of yams (Dioscorea alata L.). Effects of kinds of media, mineral composition, sucrose concentration (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10%), photoperiod (0, 8, 12, 16, 24h), and growth regulators (NAA, IAA, ZR, JA-Me, ABA) on the development of microtubers, roots, and shoots in nodal stem segment cultures of D. alata L. were evaluated. Microtuberization in nodal stem segment occurred on all the media supplemented with growth regulator and sucrose. Among basic media, 1/2MS medium was the best in microtuber induction. NAA was shown to be the most effective among the growth regulators. Optimal NAA concentration was 1mg/l. The microtuberization was the highest at the concentration of 6% sucrose. When the nodal stem segment were cultured under darkness, the tuberization was increased markedly compared to those cultured under light condition. It was also noticeable that the culture in medium with NAA produced only microtubers and roots, but no shoots, in nodal segments. In this study, the optimal medium composition for microtuberization in nodal stem segment was found to be 1/2MS medium supplemented with 1mg/l NAA and 6% sucrose under dark condition at $25^{\circ}C$.

To improve the productivity of peroxidase (POD) of cell line SP-47 derived from cell suspension cultures of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam.cv White Star), we optimized culture conditions including the composition and concentration of plant growth regulators and carbon source, and the cell inoculum size. When one g (fr wt) of cells was inoculated into 50 mL TL medium supplemented with l mg/L 2,4-D and 30g/L sucrose in 300 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 25$^{\circ}C$ in the dark (100rpm), the POD activity per g cell dry wt was maximized to be about 6,800 units after 25 days of subculture, which was about 30 times higher than that of intact roots of horseradish plants grown in the greenhouse, but the cell growth was maximum after 15 days of subculture. The protein content per g cell dry wt maintained almost plateau and after 25 days of subculture decreased as culture Proceeded further whereas the POD specific activity (unit/mg protein) was about two times higher after subculture and continuously increased from 12 days to the end of cultures (40 days). The POD isozyme patterns showed almost the same regardless of cell growth stage, but some acidic isozymes were slightly increased after 25 days of subculture. These results indicate that POD activity in suspension cultures of sweet potato is closely associated with cell growth and stresses derived from cell culture renditions and medium depletion. Due to its high POD activity the SPL47cell line seems to be suitable for the mass production of POD.

Along with the increased necessity for an efficient utilization of Korean wild edible plants growing in fields and mountains, attempts were made to investigate the patterns of flavor changes accompanied hy various conditions of dispersion medium. The effect of various pH values and concentration of sucrose or NaCl of dispersion medium on volatile flavor patterns was investigated to evaluate the applicability of flavor components extracted from Capsella bursa-pastoris for food industry. Essential oils from this wild plant were isolated by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) method using diethyl ether as solvent. Concentrated samples were analyzed s chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Most volatile flavor components of Capsella bursa-pastoris showed good recovery when steam distilled at pH 7 by SDE method. Increasing concentration of sucrose and 15% by NaCl, resulted in greater numbers of identified flavor components from Capsella bursa-pastoris.
