In order to investigate the composition and the actual condition of extractive nitrogenous constituents in Tohajeot (a salted and fermented freshwater shrimp, Caridina denticulata denticulata) and in seasoned Tohajeot which were sold in the markets, the extract was analyzed separately into extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds, using specimens collected at the fish markets of Yosu and Naju cities in 1994 and 1995. The salinity of Tohajeot was very high $(23.6{\sim}25.1)%$, but seasoned Tohajeot was relatively low $(8.4{\sim}11.4%)$. The extractive nitrogen in the extracts of Tohajeot and seasoned Tohajeot was $311{\sim}531\;mg\;and\;256{\sim}429\;mg$, and the total of free amino acids in them were $1,159{\sim}2,584\;mg\;and\;1,012{\sim}1,672\;mg$ respectively. Glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, histidine, alanine, ornithine, and tyrosine were the major amino acids in Tohajeot extract, and glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, histidine, leucine and alanine were the main amino acids in seasoned Tohajeot. As for nucleotides and related compounds in them were $2.64{\sim}4.82\;{\mu}mol\;and\;1.08{\sim}1.93\;{\mu}mol$ respectively. Homarine, trigonelline, glycinebetaine and ${\beta}-alaninebetaine$ were detected in them. Homarine was the most abundant, ranging from 18 mg to 86 mg, but the others were very low. The content of major nitrogenous constituents in Tohajeot extract, such as extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, and betaines, was more abundant than that in seasoned Tohajeot extract. But the nitrogenous constituents of Tohajeot extract were poorer than those of anchovy sauce which was sold in the markets. Possibly, the extractive nitrogenous components, which consisted of total betains, total free amino acids, and phenylalanine might be recommended as the quality indices of standardizing Tohajeot and seasoned Tohajeot.

To furnish basic data for the utilization of leaf mustard as a raw material of salted and fermented vegetable food, major chemical compositions of Dolsan Leaf Mustard (DLM) were investigated. The moisture and ash contents of DLM were 87.5% and 1.4%, respectively. Compared with other Korean traditional or Japanese leaf mustard, DIM contained more crude protein (3.8%) but less crude fat (0.3%) and crude fiber (1.3%). As an alkali food, leaf and leat stalk had pH of 5.7 and 5.8, titratable acidity of 687 and 318mg/100g and alkalinity of 2.5 and 5.2, respectively. The major free sugar in DLM was glucose and fructose was also detected in a small amount. The contents of total and reducing sugar in leaf and leaf stalk were 574, 352, 820 and 538mg%, respectively. Total amino acid contents of leaf and leaf stalk were 8.0 and 2.5% on wet basis. Although the amino acid compositions of leaf and leaf stalk were different each other, glutamic acid and proline were the major amino acids in both of the leaf and leaf stalk. Significantly higher amount (ca.10.3-fold) of free amino acid was present in leaf (3074mg%) than in leaf stalk (298mg%). Glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the major free amino acids and essential amino acid contents in leaf and leaf stalk were 869 and 68mg% being 22.9 and 28.3% of total free amino acids.

The effects of gamma-irradiation on the nutritional components of some Korean soybean-based fermentation foods were studied. Doenjang (soybean paste), kochujang (red pepper paste) and chungkukjang were prepared, irradiated at 0, 5, 10 and 20 kGy, and their compositions of free amino acid, free fatty acid and organic acid were determined. Compositions of free amino acid and free fatty acid in gamma irradiated sample were stable compared to non-irradiated control. Content of citric acid and succinic acid increased, while that of malic acid decreased in the gamma irradiated chungkookjang, but there were no significant changes in organic acid composition in organic and kochujang.

For the purpose of supplying the imformation to improve the acceptability of soy paste as the condiment, the changes of enzyme activity, general component and flavor compounds (Free amino acid, Nucleic acid related compounds, and peptide) during improved soy paste fermentation were determined. The results were as follows; 1. The protease activity during fermentation were increased continuously, but amylase activity were decreased in 45 day fermentation. Cellulase activity were slowly increased until 45 day, and then slowly decreased. 2. Total nitrogen contents were almost constant during fermentation, but amino nitrogem were increased rapidly. Reducing sugar were not constant, but increased in the end of fermentation. PH were decreased to pH 4.97. 3. Total contents of free amino acid as flavor compound were rapidly increased in 10 day fermentation, but were constant in $30{\sim}60$ day. Aspartic acid contents were increased continuously, but glutamic acid were increased slowly until 30 day fermentation and were almost constant. IMP and GMP contents showed increasing pattern during fermentation.

In order to investigate the composition of dried layer, Porphyra yezoensis cultured at the south coast of Korea, the dried laver was analyzed separately for extractive nitrogen, free and combined amino acids, ATP and related compounds and quaternary ammonium basis using specimens collected monthly from January to April 1998. The extractive nitrogen contents of dried layer extracts were $976\~1,196\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). Twenty-eight to thirty-one kinds of free amino acids were found in the dried laver extracts and their total amounts were 5,648-6,845 mg/100 g (on dry basis). The extracts were rich in free amino acids such as alanine, glutamic acid, taurine, phosphoserine and aspartic acid. Eighteen to twenty-two kinds of combined amino acids from oligopeptides were found in the extracts and their total amounts were $1,194\~1,406\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). The amounts of ATP and related compounds were $111.6\~195.5\;mg/100\;g\;(3.30\~6.00{\mu}mol/g$ on dry basis). Homarine was detected in all samples but glycinebetaine, $\beta$-alaninebetaine and $\gamma$-butyrobetaine disappeared during processing, TMAO was detected in all samples but low TMA was found in some. During processing of dried layer, P. yezoensis, free amino acids, ATP and its related compounds were increased but the other constituents such as combined amino acids, TMAO and TMA and betaines were decreased in all specimens.

The damaging effect of peroxidized lipid on amino acid was studied in rice bran by determining the free amino acid content in abiological system. The content of free amino acid in the rice bran stored in the controlled atomsphere of $35^{\circ}C$ with relative humidity of 65% for 180 days, increased during the first 60 days of storage, and then decreased as the lipid peroxidation proceeded. The content of free amino acid in the sample exposed to the air of $25-30^{\circ}C$ with relative humidity of 70-90% for 100 days decreased rapidly in the beginning period of the storage. The lipid oxidation developed much faster in the rice bran exposed to the air than in the rice bran stored in the controlled atmosphere. The correlation coefficients between the total content of free amino acid and degree of peroxidation for the samples of both conditions were above -0.8, which is significant(p<0.05). The changes in the concentration of serine, glutamic acid, proline, methionine, lysine, histidine, and arginine were significantly correlated with the degree of lipid oxidation(p<0.05) for the samples stored in the controlled atmosphere and the open air. It was observed that peroxidized lipid has damaging effects on protein in the bilogical system of rice bran.

The aim of this study was to investigate physicochemical properties of porcine blood hydrolyzed by proteases under various conditions for utilization as a food source. Five kinds of proteases (Alcalase, Neutrase, Protex-40L, PTPF-1430, and KMFP-15) were tested at different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3%, w/v) during hydrolysis at 55 for 4 hr. Hydrolysis with $^{\circ}C$ KMFP-15 showed the lowest pH by 7.3. The highest soluble solid ($24.3^{\circ}Brix$) and free amino acid (4,944 mg%) contents were obtained by hydrolysis with KMFP-15 (w/v) at 0.2% addition level, which was not significantly different from the sample hydrolyzed at 0.3% level. Under the optimal condition of KMFP-15 at 0.2%, porcine blood was hydrolyzed at 60 up to 8 hr. The $^{\circ}C$ free amino acid content reached the highest at 4 hr, and then decreased with longer hydrolysis time. Under the optimal hydrolysis conditions, porcine blood hydrolysis powder had plenty of crude proteins, amino acids, and minerals, including iron, potassium, and zinc. The results showed that porcine blood could be utilized as an useful source of food supplement. The optimum conditions of hydrolyzing porcine blood, using 0.2 KMFP at $60^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr, can be used in the commercial production of protein supplements, amino acid sources, and iron fortifying agents.
