In order to investigate the composition and monthly variation of extractive nitrogenous components in the laver Porphyra dentata cultured at the south coast of Korea, the fresh laver was analyzed separately for the amounts of free amino acids, combined amino acids, ATP and its related compounds, and quaternary ammonium basis in fresh laver were measured. The extractive nitrogen contents of fresh laver extracts were 760~870 mg/100g (dry basis). Twenty-seven to thirty-one kinds of free amino acids were detected in the laver extracts and their total amounts were 2,404~3,966 mg/100g (on dry basis). The laver extracts showed rich in free amino acids such as alanine, taurine, glutamic acid, glutamine and aspartic acid. Sixteen to twenty-three kinds of combined amino acids were detected in the extracts and their total amounts were 1,429~2,692 mg/100g (on dry basis). Proline, glutamic acid, glycine, phosphoserine, serine were the amin combined amino acids in the extracts. The amounts of ATP and related compounds were 73.3~94.4 mg/100 g (2.04~4.43 $\mu$mol/g, on dry basis). Homarine and trigonelline were detected in all specimens but $\beta$-alaninebetaine, ${\gamma}$-butyrobetaine were found in some. Small amounts of trimethylamine were detected in all samples. Free and combined amino acids were occupying almost 90% of extractive nitrogen. Most of free and combined amino acids showed a marked monthly variation with a maximum in January and March, and a minimum in February and April. The fresh laver P. dentata did not differ much from the fresh laver P. yezoensis in qualitative com-position of extractive components, but their contents were generally low level.

Soy sauce was prepared with the addition of Gorosoe and bamboos sap instead of tap water to make ordinary soy sauce, respectively. The changes of such compounds during fermentation as minerals, free sugars, organic acids and free amino acids were analyzed. Total mineral contents in the 90 days fermented soy sauce from Gorosoe and bamboos sap were increased by 2.0 and 4.4 times as compared with those of control samples, respectively. Especially the increase of calcium, potassium and magnesium in soy sauce of sapes were derived from those of saps. The sugars were found to be only glucose and galactose in control samples, but they were detected not only above sugar but also fructose and sucrose in soy sauce of saps. Butyric acid in detected organic acid were dominant in all stray sauce samples. In the free amino acid composition of control samples, leucine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, lysine and glutamic acid were abundant amino acids. Amino acid such as isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were decreased, the rest 11 kinds of amino acids containing phosphoserine were increased during the fermentation of control samples. Increasing and decreasing patterns of free amino acids during fermentation of sap soy sauce were similar to control samples. Total nitrogen, amino acid nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen were increased during their fermentation.

This study analyzed the taste components of dorsal muscle and fin muscle collected from olive flounder cultured with extruded pellet (EP) compared with those of olive flounder cultured with raw fish moist pellet (MP) as a control. The olive flounder in this study were cultured for 10 months with either the formulated extrude pellets (FEP), commercial extruded pellets (CEP) or the MP feed, and the average weight was 1.15 kg. The major nucleotides and related compounds in the dorsal muscles of the fish fed with MP, CEP and FEP diets were AMP and IMP. The fin muscle of the olive flounder contained the largest amounts of IMP($5.91{\mu}mol/g$). The K value of the dorsal muscle in olive flounder fed with MP, CEP and FEP showed 9.63%, 9.83% and 5.84%, respectively. The free amino acids in the dorsal muscle of olive flounder showed significantly differences in the composition depending on the feed, but the distribution of free amino acids showed similar patterns. Among free amino acids, taurine showed the highest content in all the experimental groups, and the asparagine and citrulline contents were significantly higher in the groups fed with CEP and FEP than in the group fed with MP. The significant differences were observed in the contents of specific free amino acids in dorsal muscle and fin flesh depending on the feed for cultured olive flounder.

Compositions of protein and amino acid in the muscle of crucian carp, Carassius carassius, and snakehead, Channa argus, were determined by amino acid autoanalyzer, and the protein subunits composed of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were also analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The crucian carp muscle contained about $14.7\%$ of protein, and the protein was composed of $32.6\%$ in sarcoplasmic, $62.0\%$ in myofibrillar, $4.9%$ in alkali soluble and $0.6\%$ in stroma protein. The snakehead muscle, on the other hand, contained about $16.1\%$ of protein, and $30.7\%,\;64.1\%,\;4.7\%\;and\;0.4\%$ in the above order. The sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were composed of 10 and 19 subunits respectively, in the crucian carp, and 12 and 18 subunits in the snakehead. The total amino acid compositions in the muscle of the crucian carp and snakehead were found to be very similar except lysine and glutamic acid. The major amino acids of their muscle protein were lysine, glutamic acid, arginine and aspartic acid in order. In free amino acid content of the crucian carp, histidine occupied $52\%$ of the total free amino acid, and glutamic acid, glycine and taurine did $85\%$ in case of snakehead.

This study was performed to provide the optimal conditions of quantitative analysis for free amino acid in fermented protein foods. The water extractable free amino acid from dairy fermented foods was extracted effectively at $75^{\circ}C$ for 40 min., while it were extracted from fermented soy products at $40^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. A close results of free amino acid content to those from amino acid analyzer were obtained using OPDA method with lysine standard after deproteinizing with 1% picric acid. 95% ethanol used as a deproteinizing reagent could give a comparable results to those from picric acid treatment in determining free amino acid content using OPDA method. Therefore, ethanol treatment was more recommendable than picric acid treatment which has some troubles in removing excess picric acid through Dowex resin column. The most desirable precipitation method for free amino acid determination using TNBS method was 95% ethanol treatment among the various deproteinizing procedure. The copper salt method was not suitable owing to its lacking reproducibility and pronounced discrepancy in determining free amino acid.
