To achieve detection, monitoring and automation of starch graft copolymerzation, the investigation is being made according to the specifity of free radical luminescence produced in the reaction. The investigation on the fluorescence spectra and its characteristics of starch-water suspension induced by ultraviolet light contribute to study the characteristics and mechanisms of free radical coming into being, emitting and disappearing. In comparison with fluorescence spectra of tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran whose molecular structures are both epoxy, it is further verified that this fluorescence comes from the transition from nonbonding n electrons in the hetero-atom (O) of the functional group (C-O-C) called ether linkage to the antibonding orbitσ*.

 In this paper, L-Cysteine was discovered to have a strong inhibition on potato polyphenol oxidase activity. The existence of L-Cysteine resulted in prolonging the lag time of the enzyme reaction, while the steady-state rate of the enzyme activity decreased with the increase of concentration of L-Cysteine. The IC50, inhibitor’s concentration leading to 50% activity lost, was estimated to be 100μmol/L. The inhibition kinetics and mechanism of L-Cysteine on the potato PPO activity have been studied. The results showed that inhibition of L-Cysteine on the enzyme is an irreversible reaction. It has a direct effect on the enzyme activity, which inhibit the production of o-quinones to stop the enzymatic browning of potato.

In the paper, several microvinification trials were conducted with Cabernet Sauvignon to assess effects of pre- fermentation thermomaceration with no SO2 addition on red wine, and a wine control was made by adding SO2 and no thermomaceration vinification. The main parameters studied were the heating temperature (60℃ and 70℃)and the length of pre- fermentation thermomaceration (6, 12 and 24h).The results showed that the pre-fermentation thermomaceration increases the reducing sugar obviously and reduces the total acid contents in the grape must. After thermomaceration, the grape materials ferment smoothly. The wines obtained by this technique show considerably better color and higher phenol than the corresponding control wines. Pre-fermentation heating at a temperature of 60℃ lasting from 6 to 24h or 70℃lasting from 6 to 12h has good effects on the quality of red wine.

The process of decreasing methanol in apple spirit, containing ethanol 60.1%(V/V) and methanol 0.85g/L, by packed distilling column was studied in this paper. The results showed that the methanol moved faster and faster to the top with a result of reducing methanol in the bottom boiler simutaniously accompanied with the same changes of ethanol since the beginning of distilling. Whereas, when the ethanol in the boiler is lower than 50%(V/V) the content of methanol in the top liquid of the column shifted to reducing, and the content of the ethanol in the boiler decreased faster. The more the reflux ratio was, the better the methanol was disparated. When reflux ratio arrives at 100:1 for 35min distilling and the methanol in the bottom decreased by 52.9% of its original value, the result met the requirement of qualified spirit according to National Standard. The methanol became lower when reflux ratio of 90:1 or 100:1 was adopted for 50min. Another experiment of reducing methanol with the absorption of 4A molecular sieve was conducted. It showed that the reducing rate by immersing absorption was higher than that by flowing absorption through column. A maximum value was obtained with 30min immersing absorption to reach 61.8% accompanied by a extremely low loss of ethanol. This method is practicable for production.

In this work, based on the results of one–factor-at-a-time-technique method, a three-level Box-Behnken factorial design was employed combining with response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the extraction conditions for the yield of Grifola frondosa polysaccharides (GFPS). A mathematical model was then developed to show the significant effect of each factor and their interactions on the yield of GFPS. Canonical analysis was used to estimated that a maximal yield of polysaccha- rides (10.62%) could be obtained when the extraction conditions of temperature, time and ratio of water to material were set at 89.7℃, 2.48h and 31.1:1, respectively with two-time extraction. These predicted values were also verified by validation experiments.

In order to exploit and utilize the fruit of camphor tree(Cinnamomun camphora(L.)Presl), and provide basis for looking for a new colorant of natural fruit, The extraction methods and stability of red pigment from camphor trees’ fruit by technical conditions such as pH, temperature and time. The results showed that the optimal technical conditons are with the ratio of material to solution is 1:25, pH, temperature and time are 60℃ and 90min respectively. The most apparent absorption wavelength of the pigment is 509nm among the visible spectrums. With pH of 1 its A509nm is obvious, and its colour is bright, but it is not stable to temperature, so the effect from pH is apparent. When pH is 5, its A509nm is lower, but it is stable to temperature. When pH is higher than 8, the pigement color changes. Its stability to metal ion is high such as: Fe3+ can change its color, Cu2+ can add its color but expedite degradation, while Ca2+ can also degrade it and Mg2+ and Na+ cannot badly affect it at all. Food additives such as VC and citric acid can add its color, while sodium benzoate can decrease its color, but sucrose and starch can affect it little, and reductant-oxidant can destroy it.

Tea polysaccharide was purified by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, and its purity and molecular weight (Mw) were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC). The GPC elution behavior of tea polysaccharide on UltrahydrogelTM 500(7.8×300mm)column was studied by using mobile phase with various concentrations of NaCl. Dextran T- system was found to be unsuitable as Mw calibration standards in GPC because the Mw of tea polysaccharide was changed with the change of ionic concentration in the mobile phase. Thus, the purified tea polysaccharide obtained in this study was standardized to be used instead as the calibration standards for the determination and comparison of tea polysaccharides in tea samples collected from different geographic locations and species varieties. The GPC was run at 35℃on an UltrahydrogelTM 500 column(7.8× 300mm)with a refractive index(RI) detector. Distilled water was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6ml/min. The calibration curve was linear over the tea polysaccharide concentration range of 0.604~6.04mg/ml, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.9997. The tea polysaccharide mass recovery ranged from 80.4% to 93.2% with a RSD of 5.42%. The assay method developed in this paper is found to be simple, reproducible and reliable, and thus ideally suitable for the quality control of tea polysaccharide derived products and raw materials.

Resistant starch (RS) is defined as "the sum of starch and starch degradation not absorbed in the small intestine of healthy individuals". This physiological definition of RS raises a difficulty in proper analytical quantification of RS. The present review described main methods to measure RS both in vivo and in vitro. The in vitro method needed imitation in vivo conditions and to be directly validated by in vivo methods. The simple and reliable method of McCleary et al. is the only method accepted by the AOAC(AOAC method 2002.02)for determining the amount of RS in foods.
