This study was performed to understand the behavior of protein mobility and intensity of enzymatic hydrolysis according to crosslinking of sodium caseinate, whey protein isolate, skim milk and whole milk powders with or without transglutaminase (TGase, w/w = 200 : 1) at $38^{\circ}C$. Whey protein was limited to crosslinking and skim milk was relatively more increased in high molecular polymer than whole milk. The degree of crosslinking decreased in the order of sodium caseinate>skim milk>whole milk>whey protein isolate. The SDS-PAGE results indicated that main bands of TGase treated samples had a high mobility and formed bands of molecular weights below 15 kDa by hydrolysis with pepsin after 10 min of reaction time. However, ${\beta}-lactoglobulin$ showed remarkable stability against pepsin hydrolysis treated with and without TGase. The high molecular polymers were easily hydrolyzed with digestive enzymes in vitro experiment. These results suggested that novel dairy products using TGase would have no special digestive problem in human body.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mud flat bacteria origin protease supplementation by crude protein level on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, total protein and BUN (blood urea nitrogen) concentration in broilers. A total of four hundred eighty broilers were randomly allocated into four treatments with six replications for five weeks. Dietary treatments included 1) high crude protein diet, 2) high crude protein diet + 0.1% protease, 3) low crude protein diet and 4) low crude protein diet + 0.1% protease. During the entire experimental period, weight gain and feed/gain were improved in treatments of high crude protein diets and low crude protein diet added protease compared with treatment of low crude protein diet without protease (P<0.05). Similarly, DM digestibility was also improved in treatments of high crude protein diets and low crude protein diet added protease compared with treatment of low crude protein diet without protease (P<0.05). N digestibility was improved in treatment of high crude protein diet added protease compared with low crude protein diet without protease (P<0.05). Total protein concentration in blood was increased in treatment of high crude protein diet without protease compared with other treatments (P<0.05). In conclusion, mud flat origin protease was effective in improving weight gain, feed/gain and nutrient digestibility, and influenced blood total protein in broilers.

To confirm the application of a newer in vitro assays to determining the nutritional value of marine crustaceans (mainly shrimps and crabs), which have been considered to be highly nutritive depending on their levels of the essential amino acids and digestibility, their C-PERs and DC-PERs were determined and studied the factors influencing their in vitro results. Four species of seawater shrimps and 2 species of seawater crabs were used in this experiment. The in vitro digestibilities showed $83{\sim}86\%$ for raw shrimps and the trypsin indigestibile substrate content (TIS) was ranged from 1.32 to 3.33 mg/g solid expressed quantitatively as mg of purified soybean trypsin inhibitor. The smaller size of shrimps revealed a greater in vitro digestibility and a lower contents of TIS. It was noted that the in vitro digestibility of raw blue crab meat was around $85\%$ while boiled tenner crab meat showed $86\%$ or above, and the leg meat had the greatest in vitro digestibility in the various parts of crab meats. The poor in vitro digestibilities for shrimp's and crab's meat, compared with that of the other seafoods as noted in previous reports, suggest that the drop in pH, due to the change in their freshness during harvesting and frozen storage, resulted in underestimating their digestibilities using four-enzyme digestion technique. The lysine contents in all samples were higher than that of ANRC casein but they contained a slightly lower sulfur-containing amino acids than those in ANRC casein. But the other EAA, such as valine, tyrosine and phenylalanine, were found to be a half as little as that in casein and played a key-factor in calculation of C-PER or DC-PER. It was observed that the value of C-PER and DC-PER for all samples ranged from 2.1 to 2.4, and the predicted digestibilities showed $90\%$ or above in all samples. It was a different results from the fact that the animal proteins bear a higher values and predicted digestibilities than those of C-PER values. The lack of correlation between C-PER and DC-PER values is attributable to the fact that the lower content of valine, tyrosine and phenylalanine, and drop in pH owing to the changes of freshness in marine crustacea proteins. Therefore, if a newer in vitro digestion technique-which are taken into account the pH drop before digestion, TIS content and released free amino acids and/or peptides-developed, C-PER assays can provide more advantages in assessing the protein nutritional value of marine crustacea than any other in vitro assays.

In order to investigate the utilization efficiency of dietary protein in the rat body and effects of dietary fat on its protein metabolism, 51 Sprague-Dawly rats of 6 weeks old weighing approximate)y 106g were subjected to feeding trials for 4 weeks and then subsequently to metabolic trials for 3 weeks using six different diets composed of three different levels of protein (10%, 20% and 30%) with low (20%) and high (40%) fat content for each protein level, total energy being fixed at 4000 Kcal/kg by addition of an appropriate amount of carbohydrate, and the following results were obtained. 1) The body weight gain increased in the low fat diets with increasing protein level whereas it decreased in the high fat diets. Food efficiency also increased in the low fat diets with increasing protein level, but no do deffinitive trend was observed in the high fat diets. The protein efficiency was generally higher at low protein level and tended to decrease as the protein level increased, regardless of the amount of fat intake. 2) As the protein level was increasing, digestibility of dry matters and carbohydrate were decreasing whereas that of protein was slightly increasing. On the other hand, digestibility of fat was always very high regardless of the amounts of dietary protein and fat. 3) The gross energy intake was affected both by protein and fat contents in the diets: The energy metabolism efficiency was decreasing with increasing protein level and at the same protein level the energy utilization was considerably higher in the low fat diets than in the high fat. 4) From the above-mentioned experimental results it may be concluded that the best formula of diet for growing rats is probably composed of 20% protein, 20% fat and 60% carbohydrate.

Present review is to introduce an omasal sampling technique in rumen proteolysis and to consider some information on the omasal sampling technique with particular emphasis on methodological aspects. Use of the omasal sampling technique provides a new opportunity for accurate estimation of rumen metabolism with overcoming limitations of previous in vivo, in vitro and/or in situ methods. The potential advantages of the present technique compared with post-ruminal sampling techniques include following points; 1) only rumen cannulated animals are required, 2) less endogenous nitrogen (N) is contaminated in omasal digesta and 3) omasal digesta are devoid of exposure to acid peptide hydrolysis occurring in the abomasum. Estimates of soluble non-ammonia N (SNAN) in omasal digesta indicate that the assumptions underlying the in situ method that rapidly degradable N fraction can be degraded at an infinite rate and only insoluble dietary N escapes the rumen may be not valid. Quatitatively higher peptide concentration rather than free amino acid and soluble protein in escapable SNAN suggests that hydrolysis of peptide to amino acid may be the rate-limiting step in rumen proteolysis.

To determine the optimal level of cryoprotectant on the denaturation of pollock surimi produced in Korea, the relative cryoprotective effects of crystalline sorbitol alone and in combination with sucrose were assessed. Freeze induced protein denaturation was also studied as affected by polyphosphates and maltodextrin during frozen storage at $-25^{\circ}C$ for 16 weeks. Variables evaluated included salt extractable protein, drip loss and in vitro protein quality. The best cryoprotective effect was achieved from sucrose/sorbitol 1:1(w/w) mixture at $8\%$ with $0.2\%$ sodiumpyrophosphate and sodiumtriphosphate(1:1, w/w) in surimi by measurement of salt extractable protein and drip loss. Those cryoprotectants had little effect on surimi protein quality during frozen storage as measured by trypsin inhibitor(TI), protein digestibility and computed protein efficiency ratio(C-PER). Protein digestibility of surimi was not changed significantly by polyphosphate and maltodextrin at various levels(p<0.05), with the exception of 4 or $6\%$ sorbitol and $10\%$ sucrose alone which resulted in a higher digestibility. $8\%$ sorbitol/sucrose (5:3, w/w) treatment without polyphosphates showed the highest cryoprotective effectiveness from digestibility assay.

Cookies, muffins and baguettes were formulated with Korean wheat flour and compared with those made from imported wheat flour in terms of total phenol content, antioxidant activity, and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD). Chunnyencho and Honghawsi were added to improve quality of the bakery products. Addition of Chunnyencho did not show any significant improvement, whereas Honghawsi increased total phenol content of cookies. Total phenol content in 80% ethanol extract of muffins prepared with Korean wheat flour was 1.5 times higher than those made from imported wheat flour, whereas total phenol content was 1.2 times higher in the 80% methanol extract of baguettes prepared with imported wheat flour compared to those made with Korean wheat flour. Overall, total phenol content of Korean wheat flour was higher than that of imported wheat flour because total phenol content was higher in 80% ethanol extracts than in 80% methanol extracts. Antioxidant activity was not significantly different between ethyl acetate extracts of bakery products from imported wheat and Korean wheat, whereas antioxidant activity of 80% methanol extract of muffins with Korean wheat was 2.4 times higher than that from imported wheat. IVPD was not significantly different in any bakery products made from imported wheat or Korean wheat but was higher in baguettes than cookies or muffins. Conclusively, bakery products made from Korean wheat had higher total phenol content and antioxidant activity than imported wheat.

his study has been carried out to investigate amylase activity of digestive juice in the 5th day of the 5th instar influenced by the dietary composition (quantitative ratio between carbohydrate and protein) and the rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. The larvae grew on three kinds of semi-synthetic diets. The A-diet has more carbohydrate than the others, the B-diet has carbohydrate in 1 : 2 with protein, and the C-diet has more protein than the others. All the diets were kept at 16$^{\circ}C$, 25$^{\circ}C$ and 32$^{\circ}C$ during the 4th moulting period. Amylase activity of digestive juice at the 5th day of the 5th instar was analyzed by Fuwa's method. The results were as follows. 1. Both A and C-diets were worse than B-diet in the larval growth and development. 2. The dietary composition influencing amylase activity of digestive juice was not related to the rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. Amylase activity was stronger in C-diet, B-diet and A-diet order. 3. It was found that amylase activity at 32$^{\circ}C$ was stronger than that at 16$^{\circ}C$ in all kinds of diets. 4. There was an inter-action in amylase activity of male larval digestive juice between the dietary composition and the rearing temperature during 4th the moulting period.

Casein or soybean protein was subjected to the reaction with caffeic acid-tyrosinase system at $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ pH 6.8 with aeration for 5 hr. The effects of the modified proteins on male Wistar rats were studied by pair-feeding of a cholesterol-free diet for 2 weeks. Significant decrease in protein digestibility for the rats fed with the modified proteins was observed. The feeding of modified protein from casein caused an enlargement of caecum. The concentration of serum cholesterol and triglyceride in the rats fed with modified proteins were mostly unchanged against the rats fed with untreated proteins. These results suggest that the decrease in protein digestibility induced by enzymic browning-reaction did not cause the decrease in concentration of serum cholesterol.
