In India, Gymnema sylvestre due to the unique property of the plant to antagonize the sweet taste is known as 'Gur-mar'. It has several ethnomedicinal values as various tribals/traditional communities and rural peoples of India find diverse medicinal uses viz. antidiabetic, stomachic, diuretic, and is useful in cough and throat troubles. Besides, it has strong effect on reducing blood sugar. The present communication deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of the aerial parts of G. sylvestre collected from three places of the country-Varanasi (U.P), Panchmarhi (M.P), Salem (Tami Nadu) and commercial sample procured from local market. The botanical and physico-chemical parameters of all the samples were quite similar though little variations were observed in foaming index, alcohol and water soluble extractives of local sample. The microscopic characteristics of the drug are horse shoe shaped petiole with 3 amphicribal vascular bundles, sieve tubes well developed; anomocytic stomata only on the abaxial surface of the leaf, the fan shaped amphicribal vascular bundle, presence of intraxylary phloem. The TLC fingerprint profile of all the samples was more or less similar only the quantity of some of the compounds varied.

It is required to use substantial amount of wet strength resin for producing multi-functional mulch papers since these paper products shold maintain its strength properties when they exposed to outdoor weather for several months. While producing mulch papers it is usual to observe significant amount of foam at white water silo. Thus it is imperative to use defoaming or antifoaming agents. In this study diverse defoaming and antifoaming agents have been tested for their effective-ness in eliminating foams that produced. It was shown that combined use of a silicone type defoamer and a fatty acid type anti-foaming agent was msot effective in eliminating foams. These chemicals were used in trial production of mulch papers and their influence on paper-making wet end system was examined including one pass retention cationic demand con-ductivity pH etc. It was found that the defoaming agents were very effective for removing foams in trial production. Tensile strengths of the mulch papers produced were significantly greater than commericial mulch papers produced in Japan.

Polyurethane specimens were mainly composed of polyol, MDI, silicone surfactant, and water. The effects of ethylene glycol on the cell size, forming magnification, cream time, gel time, take free time, final free rising height, and reactive temperature were investigated. The cyclopentane was used for PU foam as a physical blowing agent. The components were hand-mixed at about 5000 rpm within 4 seconds at room temperature. The mixtures with various ethylene glycol contents were foamed in the wood mold. When the index of isocyanate was fixed, as the amount of ethylene glycol increased, cell size and thermal conductivity were decreased by about 5.1% and 14%, respectively.

In this study the rheological properties of Jeung-pyun prepared with soybean protein isolate (SPI) were investigated. SPI Jeung-pyun samples were manufactured with 3% whole protein, 7S protein, or 11S protein (w/w). In terms of moisture content the Jeung-pyun samples prepared with soybean flour had greater moisture contents than the control group. With the addition of SPI water binding capacity solubility and swelling power increased. Dough pH decreased during the fermentation, but increased after steaming and the SPI Jeung-pyun samples presented higher pH levels han the control group. Foaming ability was significantly strong in the 7S, 11S and whole protein groups. The surface structures of the 7S, 11S and whole protein Jeung-pyun samples displayed small uniform pores when examined by SEM. Overall, the results suggest that SPI can contribute to quality improvements in Jeung-pyun through effects on dough fermentation.

Fabric fibrous filter has been used in various industrial applications owing to the low cost and wide generality. However, the basic properties of fabric materials often limit the practical utilization including hot gas cleaning. This study attempts to find new coatings of porous fibrous filter media in order to overcome its insufficient thermal resistance and durability. Teflon was one of the plausible chemicals to supplement the vulnerability against frequent external thermal impacts. A foaming agent composed of Teflon and some organic additives was tentatively coated on the glass fiber mat. The present test Teflon foam coated filter was fount to be useful for hot gas cleaning, up to $250^{\circ}C$-$300^{\circ}C$. Close examination using XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and Contact angle proved the binding interactions between carbon and fluorine, which implies coating stability. The PTFE/Glass foam coated filter consisted of more than 95% (C-F)n bond, and showed super-hydrophobic with good-oleophobic characteristics. The contact angle of liquid droplets on the filter surface enabled to find the filter wet-ability against liquid water or oil.

In this study, fabrication method of inorganic insulation were studied to reduce $CO_2$ from buildings. Main materials for inorganic insulation were used cement, blast furnace slag and aluminum powder as foaming agent. Mixing ratio of cement and slag was controlled and physical properties of inorganic insulation were analyzed. When inorganic insulation was fabricated using cement and slag, expanded slurries were not sunken and hardened normally. Pore size was 0.5 - 2 mm; mean pore size was about 1mm in inorganic insulation. Compressive strength of inorganic insulation increased with curing time and increased slightly with cement fineness. However, specific gravity decreased slightly with curing time; this phenomenon was caused by evaporation of adsorptive water. When inorganic insulation was dried at $60^{\circ}C$, compressive strength was higher than that of undried insulation. The highest compressive strength was found with a mixture of cement (50%) and slag (30%) in inorganic insulation. Compressive strength was 0.32 MPa, thermal conductivity was 0.043 W/mK and specific gravity was $0.12g/cm^3$.

In recent years, the construction industry has also applied the dry method that can be assembled in the field by industrialization and factory production, which is free from climatic effects and can reduce the cost due to mass production and simplify the work in the field. Among the building materials used in this dry method, ALC products are made by mixing calcium oxide, gypsum, cement, and water in silica and putting them in an autoclave to create voids in the interior through steam curing at high temperature and pressure. But it requires curing cycle conditions of warming, isothermal, and temperature curing. It depends on the performance of the product depending on the curing conditions, the economical efficiency due to high oil prices, the emission of greenhouse gases by the use of fossil fuels. Experiments were conducted to select an appropriate animal protein foam for lightweight foamed concrete block which was cured by applying a prefilling method to replace existing ALC products. As a result of investigating the characteristics of lightweight foamed concrete by type of animal protein foam, it is considered that FP3 is most suitable for manufacturing lightweight foamed concrete block.

In this study, soybean is used to produce soymilk according to various extracting methods and heating time. Specifically, the soy slurry is being filtered before being heated, or heated before being filtered. Following that the soymilk produced is freeze-dried to be powdered, and then, the quality characteristics of the powdered soymilk are mutually compared to determine the applicability of various food additives. The freeze-dried soymilk powder shows 2.03~6.35% of moisture content, and in terms of unit quantity, retained more proteins, which suggests that the ratio of protein extraction is higher than any other nutrients. Accordingly, the protein coefficient is significantly higher in soymilk powder being heated and processed than in raw soybeans. In particular, protein coefficient is the highest in the soymilk which is heated for 20 minutes before being filtered (SHBF20). The longer the heating time was, the trypsin inhibitor (TI) tended to be far less active. Such an inactivation seems to be more apparent in the "SHAF" soymilk powder than "SHBF" soymilk powder. Because protein had to be denaturated by heating for soymilk, the nitrogen solubility index (NSI) of soymilk powder is decreased considerably, while the protein digestibility, water absorption, emulsification and foaming activity all increase. Oil absorption tends to decrease slightly. As discussed above, the soymilk heated for 10 minutes after being filtered (SHAF10) and the soymilk heated for 20 minutes before being filtered (SHBF20) show optimum processing conditions for soymilk powder.

Although the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) is a promising alternative protein source, the effects of processing conditions on functional properties are unclear. In this study, a protein extract of yellow mealworm larvae (PEYM) was subjected to different heat temperature ($55^{\circ}C$, $75^{\circ}C$, and $95^{\circ}C$) with different time (20, 40, and 60 min) to evaluate the functional properties and protein oxidation. Different heat temperature treatment significantly affected the exposure of surface hydrophobicity of the proteins and protein molecule aggregation, which reached maximum levels at $95^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. Protein oxidation was inversely proportional to the temperature. Both the highest carbonyl value (1.49 nmol/mg protein) and lowest thiol value (22.94 nmol/mg protein) were observed at $95^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. The heating time-temperature interaction affected several functional properties, including solubility, emulsifying potential, and gel strength (GS). Solubility decreased near the isoelectric point (pH 5 to 6). As the temperature and heating time increased, emulsifying properties decreased and GS increased. The oil absorption capacity and foaming properties decreased and the water absorption capacity increased. These results confirmed that PEYM is a suitable source of proteins for processing and applications in the food industry.

The importance of surface conditions of nucleate boiling is well recognized and it has been known that the heat transfer to boiling liquid is closely related to the bubble population density. The bubble population density should depend on various factors such as heat flux, surface roughness, surface contamination, properties of liquid, etc. In this paper the effect of surface conditions on heat transfer in nucleate boiling is treated. The experiments were carried out with distilled water boiler, on the horizontal heating surfaces, sintered with various bronze particle, under atmospheric pressure. In addition, experimental investigation for the polished bronze surface was performed. By studing a coefficient Xb defined by eq. (9), which represents the bubble foaming ability of heating surface, generalized fomula on the heat transfer in the nucleate toiling were expressed. The coefficient $X_b$, determined empirically, is not constant and indicates a major influence of the sintered metal surfaces on the $\Delta$, necessary to sustain nucleate boiling at any given heat flux. In this study, the main results are obtained as follows; (1) At low temperature difference, the coefficient $X_b$ of sintered metal surface was found to he higher than the polished surface throughout the full range of experiments. (2) The optimum sintered structure showing the maximum coefficient $X_b$ has been confirmed to exist and it is encountered when particle diameter is $256{\mu}$.
