Pipethanate*HCl reacts with ammonium cobaltothiocyanate to form a stable ion pair which has an absorption maximum at 626nm. The reaction product was insoluble in water but freely soluble in most organic solvents. 1, 2-Dichloroethane was the best extracting solvent among the several organic solvents. Pipethanate*HCl can be determined not only by the spectrophotometry but also inderectly by estimation of cobalt in the organic phase by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Linear relationship was found between absorbance and concentration in the range of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}~4.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ by spectrophotometry and $1.5{\times}10^{-4}~4.0{\times}10^{-4}M$ by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. With this method it was possible to determine pipethanate$\cdot$HCl in the pharmaceutical preparations.

A photometric probe that can be immersed in liquid has been prepared by sealing a phototransistor with a collimating lens in a glass tubing water tight. Due to the directional sensing property of the probe, it has been successfully used in photometric titrations. Thus, when the probe is immersed in the titrand solution vertically and a light source is placed underneath the beaker containing the titrand, the relative absorbance of the solution can be measured without shielding from the room light.

For the fabrication of the microscale memory or electrical devices, Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method is the most possible candidate. N-Alkylquinolium-TCNQ compounds were synthesized. The structure of the compounds were identified by the NMR spectroscopy and the purity were checked to be good by the elemental analysis. The surface pressure($\pi$) was measured at the air-water interface. The isotherm showed two transitions at 30mN/m and 45mN/m. The LB films were deposited by the home-made Kuhn type apparatus. The transfer ratio($\tau$) of the deposition was more than 0.95 for the up-stroke and less than 0.4 for the down-stroke. The absorbance peaks of the LB films appear at around 420nm and 700-820nm.

Cordyceps militaris (CM) is one of the most important medicinal mushrooms known to possess various biological activities. Cordycepin (CP) is a bioactive compound present in the fruiting bodies of CM and is known to have anti-tumor, anti-metastatic immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we aim to analyze CP quantitatively under various CM extraction conditions. CP was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography, quantified using a reversed phase column using a gradient elution system of water and acetonitrile, and detected with a UV absorbance wavelength of 260 nm. The CP content of CM was the highest in 100% ethanol extract of the fruiting bodies and 60% ethanol extract of the mycelium. This study provides an efficient analysis method to determine the optimal extraction conditions for CP that can be used as a basis for developing functional foods and pharmaceutical products derived from CM.

The concentrated red ginseng extract (RGE) which was prepared from water extract of red ginseng tails was investigated for its changes in color intensity, sugar contents and during storage at various temperatures. In order to evaluate the color of RCE, a spectrophotometric measurement in ultraviolet and visible range was applied. The concentrated RGE was divided into three fractions of aqueous, butanol and benzene layers. It was found that : (1) Increase in RCE color during heat treatment was considered to be due to nonezymatic browning reaction. Water soluble layer showed approximately 100 times higher color intensity than those of organic solvent layers (2) The RCE stored at 8$0^{\circ}C$ showed an increase in fructose and glucose content while a rapid decrease was resulted at 10$0^{\circ}C$. (3) A rapid increase in absorbances at 400 and 460nm was shown at 90 and 10$0^{\circ}C$ after an initial induction period and slowed down after 50 hours . (4) A significant relationship was found between decrease in sugar content and increase in color intensity. (5) Absorbance ratio of 400nm/460nm indicated that benzene layer has about two times higher value in violet color than those of butanol and aqueous layers.

To investigate the effects of preheating treatment on the properties of salt-preserved cucumber, cucumber were heated in the warm water to 40, 60, and 75$^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Thereafter, cucumbers were cooled and the ratios of cucumbers: water was adjusted to 1:1.2(w/w) and salt was added to have final salt concentration of 12%. The group which was heated to 6$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest scores on hardness followed by 4$0^{\circ}C$, no-heat, and 75$^{\circ}C$ treated groups after 60 days of salt-preservation. The yellowness on the surface of cucumber peels was getting intense as temperature was increased during heat treatment, which resulted in the most intense yellowness in no-heat and 4$0^{\circ}C$ treated groups. The intensities of greeness and redness of the groups also differed according to different temperature applied during heat treatments. Regardless of heat treatment, no difference in the absorbance of isopropyl alcohol extracts were found. Activities of pectinesterase were the highest in 6$0^{\circ}C$ treated group followed by 4$0^{\circ}C$, 75$^{\circ}C$, and no-heat treated group until 60 days of preservation, while activities of polygalacturonase in 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 6$0^{\circ}C$ treated groups were lower.

A Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is shown in the present investigation to be effective of phenol degradation in the aqueous solutions in batch reactor with continuous air bubbling. Removal of phenol and effects of various parameters on the removal efficiency in the aqueous solution with high-voltage streamer discharge plasma are studied. The effect of 1st voltage (80 ~ 220 V), air flow rate (3 ~ 7 L/min), pH (3 ~ 11), electric conductivity of solution (4.16 ${\mu}S$/cm, deionized water) ~ 16.57 mS/cm (addition of NaCl 10 g/L) and initial phenol concentration (2.5 ~ 20.0 mg/L) were investigated. The observed results showed that phenol degradation was higher in the basic solution than that of the acidic. The optimum values on the 1st voltage and air flow rate for phenol degradation were 140 V and 6 L/min, respectively. It was considered that absorbance variation of $UV_{254}$ of phenol solution can be use as an indirect indicator of change of the non-biodegradable organic compounds within the treated phenol solution. Electric conductivity was not influenced the phenol degradation. To obtain the removal efficiency of phenol and COD of phenol over 97 % (initial phenol concentration, 10.0 mg/L), 80 min and 120 min were need, respectively. Phenol and COD degradation showed a pseudo-first order kinetics.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italia) florets were extracted with 80% methanol and the extract was sequentially fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and distilled water. The extract and the fractions were evaluated for total phenolic content, sulforaphane content, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The total phenolic content and sulforaphane content of the ethyl acetate fraction (EF) were 35.5 mg gallic acid equivalents/g and $620.2{\mu}g/g$, respectively. These values were higher than those of the 80% methanol extract and organic solvent fractions. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity of the EF [$1,588.7{\mu}M$ Trolox equivalents (TE)/mg] was 11-fold higher than that of the distilled water fraction ($143.7{\mu}M\;TE/mg$). The EF inhibited nitric oxide release from LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ activation in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. In conclusion, the EF of broccoli florets exerted potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study was planned to prepare the high strength hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing isocyanate group and nanoparticles. HDI with carbon nanoparticles were used as additives for the basic combination of HEMA, MA and MMA, and the materials were copolymerized with EGDMA as the cross-linking agent and AIBN as the initiator. The mixture was heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for an hour to produce the high performance hydrogel ophthalmic lens by cast mold method. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the produced material showed that the refractive index was in the range of 1.4027~1.4600, water content 25.21~44.01%, contact angle $54.18{\sim}72.94^{\circ}$, visible light transmittance 53.03~92.09%, and tensile strength 0.1024~0.2359 kgf and breaking strength was 0.0872~0.2825 kgf. The results showed an increase of refractive index while the decrease in water content. And also, the breaking strength was highest when the addition ratio of HDI was 5%(wt). As a result of the absorbance measurement, no significant difference was observed in all the samples, so it can be judged that the stabilization of nanoparticles in the polymer was maintained.
