Dust samples collected from air in metropolitan areas of Busan and Ulsan were analyzed by phase contrast microscopy, phase contrast dispersion microscopy and SEM. Asbestos concentration in dust samples was lower than detection limit. Many fibrous materials were observed in dust samples, but most of them were organic fibers. Inorganic fibers such as rock fiber, ceramic fiber and gypsum were contained in the samples and non-fibrous minerals such as quartz, calcite and feldspar were also occasionally observed. Domestic law requires that asbestos in air dust is mainly analyzed by phase contrast microscopy. From this study, however, precise analysis of asbestos was almost impossible by this method only. As indicated in JIS method of Japan, therefore, count and identification of asbestos were more efficient by dispersion staining method after removing organic materials in samples by low temperature incinerator.

The compositions of non-volatile organic acids, mineral, fiber and fatty acids of leaf mustard were investigated. Non-volatile organic acid contents were higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Of non-volatile organic acids assayed malic acid was the most abundant in both leaf (79.1 mg%) and leaf stalk (46.4mg%), followed by L-ascorbic, oxalic, citric and succinic acids. Mineral contents were also higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Both leaf and leaf stalk contained calcium most, followed by magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc and copper. It has also been found that leaf mustard contains more iron than any other Cruciferous vegetables reported. The major fatty acid of total lipid was $\alpha$-linolenir acid (63.2% in leaf, 55.3% in leaf stalk). The ratios of polyun-saturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (P/S ratio) were 4.1 in leaf and 2.9 in leaf stalk. The content of pectic substances, in terms of alcohol-insoluble solid, of leaf was 9.4% which was 1.4-fold higher than that of leaf stalk. Of pectic substances, hot soluble pectins (HWSP) were present most and followed by sodium hexametaphosphate soluble (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectins (HSP). Total dietary fiber content of mustard leaf was 2.68% and in general, higher content of total dietary fiber than leaf had. Neutral detergent fiber content was higher than acid detergent fiber, and cellulose was higher than hemicellulose by 2.1-fold in leaf stalk.

Proximate compositions, minerals and protein fractions of the roots of cultured and wild Codonopsis lanceolata of different age groups were examined as the basic research for the study of their source of processed foods. The most abundant proximate composition of the roots of C. lanceolata was observed to be total sugars and next come crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and ash in descending order irrespective of cultured and wild ones. The richest mineral contained in the roots was noticed to be K and followed by Mg and Ca. Generally increased tendency of crude protein, fat, ash, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Zn, Cu and P contents were observed with older roots, however, decreased total sugars and Fe content. Lead and cadmium content was far bellow the authorized tolerance limits. The quantitative fractionation of the protein of the roots ranked albumin the highest content, followed by globuin, prolamin and glutelin. Decreased albumin content was observed with the older age roots, while increased globulin, prolamin and glutelin content. The minimum solubility of the soluble protein of the roots was found to be at pH 4.0 and maximum, at pH 10.0. Disc gel electrophoresis of the soluble protein of C. lanceolata roots showed almost similar patterns and numbers of bands. The molecular weight for main band protein was estimated to be about 90,000.

당뇨병환자의 가장 큰 고통 중 하나가 먹고 싶은 음식을 마음대로 먹지 못한다는 것이다. 특히 과일은 맛이 좋고 간편히 먹을 수 있는 간식이지만 당분이 많아 혈당상승에 대한 우려로 자유롭게 섭취할 수 없다. 그렇다고 과일이 무조건 먹지 말아야 하는 음식은 아니다. 과일은 지방이 거의 없고 섬유소와 비타민, 무기질 등을 공급할 수 있어 건강증진에 좋은 신품이다. 또한, 과일 속의 섬유소는 소장으로부터 포도당 흡수를 방해하는 역할을 하여 혈당조절에 약간의 기대를 할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

In this study, proximate composition, crude fiber, reducing sugar, free sugars, organic acids, minerals and amino acids of Platycodon grandiflorum seeds were analyzed to evaluate its nutritional value. Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and carbohydrate contents of seeds were 6.97, 26.05, 27.46, 3.78 and 35.74%, respectively. Crude fiber of 6.31% and reducing sugars of 1.54% were also determined. Sucrose(1,661 mg/100 g) and lactic acid(1,224 mg/100 g) were most abundant free sugar and organic acid, respectively. Both phosphorus and potassium were main minerals that contained more than 700 mg in 100 g seeds. Amino acids analysis of 100 g seeds showed that glutamic acid(3.45 g), arginine(2.51 g), aspartic acid(1.66 g), leucine(1.29 g), lysine(1.10 g), alanine(1.05 g) and glycine(1.04 g) were abundantly contained in order, while others were less than 1 g.

Nutritional components, such as approximate compositions, and amino acid, mineral, vitamin, sugar, and fatty acid contents, of artificially cultivated Pleurotus ferulea were analyzed. Contents of carbohydrates, crude lipids, dietary fibers, crude proteins, total amino acids, particularly essential amino acids, minerals, water-insoluble and-soluble vitamins, glucose, and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid of P. ferulea were higher than those of P. ostreatus and P. eryngii. Results indicate P. ferulea has abundant essential nutrients and thus is good source of functional healthy food.

Approximate composition and physicochemical properties of 2 cultivars of plum (P. salicina), Humoosa and Daeseok, were examined. The contents of crude fat and N-free extract were different between 2 cultivars. Total mineral contents of Humoosa and Daeseok were 30.00 and 17.99% respectively, and S, K and Mg were major minerals in both cultivars. Humoosa has higher contents of fructose whereas Daeseok has higher contents of sucrose. Major organic acid in flesh was malic acid. While citric acid was major organic acid in the peel of Humoosa, malic acid was major in the peel of Daeseok. Glutamic acid, alanine and ${\gamma}-aminoisobutyric$ acid were major free amino acid in both cultivars and their total contents were about the same.

The aim of our study was to investigate the chemical composition of the Asian ginseng seed (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and the American ginseng seed (Panax quinquifolium L.) grown in Korea (3 years, KGS3; 4 years, KGS4), China (4 years, CGS4), and USA (4 years, AGS4). AGS had the heaviest 100-seed weight ($4.21{\pm}0.31g$). The approximate compositions of the ginseng seeds were 13.66-17.00% crude protein, 2.21-8.65% crude ash, 19.06-24.06% crude lipid, and 43.21-47.49% crude fiber. The mineral contents of the ginseng seeds were greater in order of K>P>Ca>Mg>Fe>Na>Zn >Cu. The unsaturated fatty acid content was 96.71-96.94%, and the major fatty acids oleic acid and linoleic acid were present. Total sugar content was 15.00-26.17 mg glucose/g. The acidic polysaccharide content was 0.56-0.80 mg ${\beta}$-Dgalacturonic acid/g. These results showed the differences in the physicochemical characteristics of ginseng seeds with respect to cultivation location, cultivation year, and species.

Iron and zinc were bound by neutral detergent fiber (NDF) obtained from 15 kinds of vegetables being consumed commonly in Korea. Binding capacity of Fe and Zn of NDF ranged from 37.8% to 85.5% and from 81% to 25.5%, respectively showing higher binding capacity of Fe to NDF than of Zn. Both Fe and Zn binding capacity of NDF increased as pH increased and reached to a maximum at pH 7 In all vegetables. The amount of mineral (Fe and Zn) bound to NDF increased as mineral concentration Increased.

The effect of concentration as factor in cytotoxicity, protein synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity was compared for pulpotomy medicaments (formaldehyde, formocresol, paraformaldehyde, ferric sulfate) Human pulp fibroblasts were exposed to a range of concentrations(0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, $1.00{\mu}l/ml$) of each agents, for period of 24hrs. The cell activities were evaluated by MTT assay, protein assay and alkaline phosphatase activity examination. The results as follows : 1. After 24hrs culture, pulp fibroblasts adding formaldehyde, formocresol and paraformaldehyde were suppressed cell activities with concentration increasing, but, no depression of cell activities by ferric sulfate. No significant difference was in formaldehyde, formocresol and paraformaldehyde. 2. Protein synthesis by pulpotomy agents were not significant difference in pulp fibroblasts but protein synthesis were a little decreased by paraformaldehyde. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity was a little decreased by pulpotomy medicaments.
