    Konjak membrane was made from 1% aqueous solution of purified Konjak mannan and insolubilized with calcium hydroxide. The membrane potential and permeability coefficient of the Konjak membrane were measured and compared with those of lens capsule of bovine eye, a positively charged membrane, and Visking cellotube, a negatively charged membrane. On the basis of the membrane potential measurements, it has been concluded that Konjak membrane carries negative charge very slightly, the electric charge being about 1/50 of that of cellulose membrane. As the result, the permeability coefficient of Konjak membrane did not decrease even when the electrolyte concentration became fairly low. It has also been concluded that the permeability coefficient of Konjak membrane is about three times larger than that of cellulose membrane, and that no specific interaction is found between K+, Na+, Ca2+ or H+ and Konjak membrane.

    Cell membrane was isolated from porcine ventricles and its Ca2+ binding and ATPase activities were investigated. The cell membrane (heart sarcolemma) exhibits Na+-K+activated ATPase and Ca2+ stimulated. Mg-ATPase activities which suggest the presence of “Ca-pump”system.
    Ca2+ binding to the cell membrane was dependent on Ca2+ concentration and analysis of binding curve revealed that the existence of two kinds of binding sites (high and low affinity sites). Mg2+ increased Ca2+ binding at the high affinity site whereas Na+ decreased it. These actions of Mg2+ and Na+ may be physiologically important for the maintenance and transient change of intracellular Ca2+ concentration at rest and excitation of the membrane

    This work was undertaken to obtain some fundamental data for the concentration of citrus juice by reverse osmosis using acethylcellulose membrane. Some amounts of acid in citrus juice can be permeated through the membrane. This permeation of acid may be advantageous for Japaaese juice making, because citrus juices in Japan are often too acid.
    Organic acids in juice can be separated in membrane permeation to different extents under the operating condition used. The permeation is generally in the order monocarboxylic acid>dicarboxylic acid>hydroxycarboxylic acid. Organic acid retention depends upon the chemical nature of the molecule, and the order indicates that an increase in the polar functional groups in the molecule results in higher preferential sorption for water, and hence higher seperation in membrane permeation. Further, when the degree of dissociation of the acid molecule is increased, its separation also increased.
