This study was undertaken to analyze proximate compositions, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids of Angelica keiskei Koidz. The contents of raw leaf and stem juice were compared with those of aerial whole plant. The aerial whole plant was relatively rich in crude fiber. The leaf juice was rich in lipid, protein, minerals, vitamins and amino acids whereas the stem juice was rich only in sugar and some kinds of fatty acids.

Dendropanax morbifera Lev. leaves were collected during different seasons to analyze the chemical components. In proximate composition the leaves collected in spring had the highest moisture content and in winter had the lowest. Lipid, ash and fiber contents gradually increased from spring to winter and in winter had the highest. Protein content decreased until summer and then it increased. All of free sugars detected have gradually increased during the growing season. Unsaturated fatty acids content was higher than that of the saturated fatty acids and the major saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were arachidic acid and cis-13,16-docosadienoic acid. respectively. Fifteen free amino acids detected with arginine content being the highest regardless of season and amino acid content gradually decreased during the seasons. The highest content of mineral elements was potassium in leaves collected in spring, with calcium was the highest in leaves picked in other seasons. Vitamin C content was gradually decreased over the growing season and soluble tannin content increased notably.

In this study, fire resistance performance of high strength concrete specimen with fireproof gypsum board was investigated for possible use in upgrading fire-resistant performance of the existing building and repair of fire damaged structures. Fire test of eight identical high strength concrete columns were carried out for 180 minutes in accordance with ISO-834. The temperature distributions in longitudinal reinforcement and concrete temperature at various depths were recorded. The fireproof performance of gypsum board and explosive spalling of concrete were observed. The specimens with 15 mm thick twoply fireproof gypsum board spalled after gypsum board crumbled regardless of fastening methods. However, when the thickness of fireproof gypsum board was more than 30 mm, it was possible to prevent the explosive spalling and control the rebar temperature. Although the effect of cover thickness could not be compared because the explosive spalling occurred, there seemed to be no difference in insulation efficiency.

To accept basic data of utilizing of Comus of officianalis as a raw material of new food and industrial products, major chemical components were investigatied. Comparing proximate composition of flesh and seed of Cornus officianalis, seed contained higher crude ash, crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber, with less moisture and reducing sugar. The main components of free sugars in flesh and seed were fructose. The main components of organic acid in fresh and seed were malic and citric acid. Analysing total amino acids, 18 kinds of components were isolated from Cornus officianalis. The total amino acid contents of flesh and seed were 230.41 mg% and 883.81 mg%, respectively. Although the amino acid compositions of flesh and seed were different, glycine, leucine, histidine and lysine were the major components in both portion. The total amount of free amino acid were less than those of total amino acids. As a results of mineral analysis, the content of K was much higher than those of Fe, Zn and Cu. The contents of linolenic and linoleic acid were higher than those of oleic, palmitic and stearic acid.

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.
