The composition of amino acids and the related compounds of nucleotides in the dorsal muscle of sweet fish Hemibarbus labeo, Mandarin fish Siniperca scherzeri and read fish Gobius similis was analyzed by amino acid autoanalyzer and high performance liquid chromatography. The result showed that IMP was dominant in the nucleotides of all the dorsal muscle of the fishes and a less amount of UMP, hypoxanthine and AMP was detected. In the free amino acid composition, the important amino acids were taurine and histidine in sweet fish, taurine, glycine and histidine in cornet fish, taurine, histidine and alanine in mandarin fish, taurine, proline and threonine in read fish, respectively, and in all the dorsal muscle of fishes, taurine was the dominant amino acid. In the amino acid compositions of the muscle protein, glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid and lysine were reached to 44.0% of total amino acids in sweet fish, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and glycine were 43.5% in cornet fish, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and leucine were 43.3%, 43.5% of total amino acids in mandarin fish and read fish, respectively. Glutamic acid was the dominant amino acid in all the fresh fishes.

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality properties, fatty acid composition and amino acid composition of major Korean inbred lines and hybrids of maize for corn breeding. Protein content of $F_2$ seeds was 9.0%, which was slightly lower than those of inbred lines, 11.4%, and $F_1$ seeds, 10.9%. in hybrid maizes. Lipid content of $F_2$ seeds of hybrid maizes was 4.2%, slightly higher than those of inbred lines, 3.3%, and $F_1$ seeds, 3.6%. However, there was no significant difference in ash content. The amount of linoleic acid in inbred lines, $F_1$ and $F_2$ seeds of hybrid maizes was highest among all fatty acids and followed by oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and linolenic acid. The composition of saturated fatty acid of $F_2$ seeds was 17.6%, similar to $F_1$ seeds but it was lower than that of inbred lines. The composition of unsaturated fatty acid of $F_2$ seeds was 82.4%, similar to $F_1$ seeds but was higher than inbred lines. The content of leucine of $F_2$ seeds was lower than inbred lines and $F_1$ seeds. The content of valine, serine, threonine, cysteine, aspartic acid, lysine, arginine, histidine of $F_2$ seeds was higher than inbred lines and $F_1$ seeds. MMA (monoamino monocarboxylic acid) in inbred lines, $F_1$ and $F_2$ seeds of hybrid maizes was highest among all amino acids and followed by DMA (diamino monocarboxylic acid) and AAA (aromatic amino acid).

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of different drying methods on free amino acids and dipeptide contents, Warner-Bratzler shear force and sensory property of beef jerky products. The drying methods used for this study were sun-drying, shade-drying and hot air-drying methods. The sun-dried beef jerky had the highest free amino acids (277.45 mg/100 g) followed by shade-dried (206.43 mg/100 g) and hot air-dried (111.88 mg/100 g) ones, whereas the amount of dipeptides were the highest in the shade-dried beef jerky followed by sun-dried and hot air-dried ones. The fatty acid composition of the beef jerky was not shown any difference among the beef jerkies with 3 different drying methods. The color $L^*$-value of the beef jerky was lower in the hot-air dried, while the $a^*$-value was higher in the sun-dried one. The shade-dried jerky showed a lower $b^*$-value. The shear force of beef jerky was lower when it was either sun-dried or shade-dried than when it was hot air-dried. Sensory evaluation revealed that hot air-dried beef jerky scored lower than the sun-dried and shade-dried ones (p<0.05). Therefore, using either the sun drying or shade drying methods is more desirable than using the hot air drying method when manufacturing beef jerky for superior physicochemical qualities.

Cellulosic single cell proteins produced from rice straw by three strains of cellulolytic bacteria were analysed for their composition and for their amino acid patterns. It was showed that they contains 52.2∼70.3％ of crude Protein, 11.6∼13.9％ of crude fat and 11.5∼18.1％ of ash. The sulphur containing amino acids and threonine were analysed to be the limiting amino acid in the cellulosic SCP. The protein scores were calculated as 80.0 for Cellulomonas flavigena KIST 321, 78.00 for Cellulomonas fimi and 61.8 for Cellulomonas aurogena KIST 11. The nutritional value of the cellulosic SCP is discussed from the results.

The composition of muscle proteins and free amino acids in the mudskipper (hibernant fish) were investigated before and after hibernation (maturity period: August, hibernation period: November thru. April). It was found that crude proteins were 17.6% in August, 17.5% in November and 16.9% in April, while among the muscle proteins, sarcoplasmic proteins were constituted up to 19.2～20.4%, 58.8～61.3% for myofibrilla proteins, 11.2～13.2% for intracellular proteins and 7.5～8.3% for stroma proteins. Composition changes of the muscle proteins were hardly noted until November but during the hibernation(from Nov. to Apr.) the amount of the sarcoplasmic proteins and the myofibrillar proteins decreased pronouncedly. As for the sarcoplasmic proteins, 14 subunits were found and among them, the amount of 30 kDa and 46 kDa subunits were found to increase slightly in April compared with those in November, while the amount of 35 kDa and 65 kDa subunits were decreased slightly. As for the myofibrilla proteins, 13 subunits were found and detectable changes in their composition were not observed until November but in April the amount of myosin heavy chain was increased by 3%, while the amount of actin decreased by 3% when those are compared with the results in November. The composition of amino acids in the muscle proteins was hardly changed during the observation period. But there were considerable changes of composition of free amino acids. Glycine and alanine were found to be the major free amino acids. The most striking feature was the changes in the glycine and arginine content: the former, which is a dominant free amino acid, was increased by two-fold in April compared with that in August and the latter was increased by two-fold in November and by four-fold in April. It was also found that the amount of essential amino acids (i.e., lysine and histidine) and others (alanine, glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid and valine) increased significantly during the hibernation period.

Separation of the optical isomers of free amino acids by a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography has been studied by adding a copper(II) complex of L-proline or L-proline derivatives (hydroxy-L-proline, N-benzyl-L-proline, p-xylenyl-L-proline, p-xylenyl-hydroxy-L-proline) in the mobile phase. An OPA postcolumn detection system was used for the detection of amino acids. The chromatographic properties for the free amino acids were discussed in terms of the pH, the kinds and concentration of chelate or organic modifier. The retention behaviors of the free amino acids were considerably different from, those of DNS-amino acids or DABS-amino acids. The enantioselectivity of the free amino acids was better than that of derivatized amino acids. The enantioselectivity between the optical isomers observed by use of the Cu(II)-p-xylenyl-L-proline chiral cheleate was the best among the several copper(II) chelate. A separation mechanism could be illustrated not only by the hydrophobic interaction of the diastereomer with stationary phase but also by the steric effect of the ligand exchange reaction between the free-amino acids and copper chelate.

Nutritional factors affecting the urinary excretion of acid-soluble peptides(ASP) in rats were studied using protein-free diet, gluten diet, casein diet, and gluten supplemented with lysine and threonine(GLT) diet. The content of urinary ASP was lowest in protein-free diet group among the four kinds of diets above. But the amino acid pattern of urinary ASP in the four dietary groups were similar each other, suggesting that urinary ASP is mainly from endogenous origin under these nutritional conditions. The efficiency of dietary protein utilization was significantly lower in gluten diet than that of casein diet or GLT diet. Those findings suggest that the rate of urinary excretion of ASP-form amino acids can be employed as an index of protein metabolism, particularly as a simple index in the assessing the status of protein nutrition.
