This work was conducted to investigate the manure excreta and chemical compositions of layers. Two hundred 1-d-old ISA Brown layers were used in this work, and ten of 200 layers were selected for measurement of manure excreta with feeding phase. Means of the manure excreta per bird, the moisture content of poultry, and the dried manure were $124.7\;{\pm}\;27.5\;g$/bird/day, $76.9\;{\pm}\;1.9%$, and $29.1\;{\pm}\;3.9\;g$/bird/day, respectively. N, $P_2O_5$, and $K_2O$ of manure (55 weeks) were $1.39\;{\pm}\;0.139$, $0.62\;{\pm}\;0.11$ and $0.68\;{\pm}\;0.09%$, respectively. pH, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, and suspended solids (SS) were $8.19\;{\pm}\;0.71$, $50,266\;{\pm}\;621\;mg/L$, $62,832\;{\pm}\;803\;mg/L$, and $121,725\;{\pm}\;16,165\;mg/L$, respectively. Heavy metal contents in the manure were $0.003\;{\pm}\;0.0013\;ppm$ for Hg and $0.008\;{\pm}\;0.0012\;ppm$ for Pb, the latter of which was highly low compared with the standard (150 ppm), but no Cd was detected. The results of this work show the average excretion amounts and chemical compositions of layer's manure, which is used as an organic fertilizer.

Using the skins of conger eel, Astroconger myriaster, and hagfish, Eptatretus burzeri, from fillet manufactory, the optimum conditions of skin glue processing were investigated and physical ana chemical properties of the product were also determined. The yields of conger eel and hagfish skin to the total body weight were $10.6\%$ and $11.4\%$, respectively. The optimum processing conditions for conger eel skin glue were the extraction of skins which were previously tinted with $0.3\%$ calcium hydroxide solution for one hour, in water at pH 5.5 and $60^{\circ}C$ for four hours. The additional water was six times sample weight. In case of the hagfish skin glue, the liming time with $0.3\%$ calcium hydroxide solution was suitable for three hours, and the skins were extracted with water as much as nine times sample weight at pH 5.0 and $60^{\circ}C$ for three hours. The contents of crude protein of conger eel and hagfish skin glue were $91.5\%$ and $90.2\%$, respectively. The content of crude lipid was slightly higher than that of chemical grade gelatin. Relative viscosity, melting point, gelation temperature and jelly strength of conger eel skin glue were 13.6, $15.2^{\circ}C$, $6.2^{\circ}C$ and 13.0g respectively and those of hagfish skin glue were 12.9, $14.8^{\circ}C$, $4.3^{\circ}C$ and 23.3g respectively. The turbidity of conger eel skin glue and hagfish skin glue were slightly superior to those of dry glue.

The physicochemical properties of starch isolated from two kinds of waxy barley were investigated. The average diameters of starch granules of Changyoung and Smire were 13.6 and 16.6 microns, respectively, and most of starch granules were round shape. X-ray diffraction patterns of two samples were A-types and amylose contents of two waxy barley starches were 4%, blue values and alkali numbers of Changyoung and Smire were 0.22 and 0.18, 5.2 and 4.0, raising powers of them were 167 and 173, respectively. The optical transmitance of 0.1% suspension of waxy barley starches increased rapidly from $51^{\circ}C\;to\;75^{\circ}C$. Amylogram data on 5% of Changyoung and Smire starch solutions showed the gelatinization temperature of 63 and $62^{\circ}C$, maximum peak hight of 920 and 900 B.U., respectively. Waxy barley starches had higher swelling powers than non waxy barley starch. The starch pastes prepared from waxy barleys retrograded much slower than that of non waxy barley.

Morphology, physicochemical properties, pasting properties in the presence of various anionic ions and aging of gels of Akibare (Japoica type) and Milyang 23 (Indica type) rice starch were studied, Both starches. were polygonal with length in the range of $3{\sim}6{\mu}m$. Starch granules of Akibare were somewhat smaller than those of Milyang 23. X-ray diffraction study demonstrated that peak shape and intensity were significantly different between the two starches. Akibare and Milyang 23 rice starch had amylose content of 18.5 and 19.5% and water binding capacity of 106 and 100%, respectively. Milyang 23 rice starch had a higher swelling power than Akibare starch. A relationship between percent solubility and swelling power implied that bonding forces within the granules of the both starches were different. The optical transmittance of 0.1% suspension of the two starches increased rapidly from $60^{\circ}C$. In the range of $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, the two starches showed a single gelatinization pattern. Amylograms of the two starches in the presence of various anionic ions showed that pasting temperature and peak temperature were progressively increased in the order of SCN-${SO_4}^=$. SCN- and I- ions increased the peak height of Akibare rice starch while only SCN- ion was effective for Milyang 23 rice starch. There were no differences in the rates of retrogradation of 45% gels of the two starches stored at $21^{\circ}C$.

In order to analyze the composition of fatty acid in the seed oil. and amino acid in the seed protein of wild thornless chinese pepper tree; Zanthoxylum schinifolum var. inermis Nakai. GLC method and amino acid autoanalyzer were applied. respectively. while the general composition of the seed and physico-chemical properties of the seed oil were also determined by A. O. A. C. method. The results obtained were summarized as follow The content of oil, protein and ashes were 47.05%, 20.14% and 3.1%, respectively. The content of sulfur and cyan compound in the seed were 0.02% and 0.00005%, respectively, which were far below than allowed guantity by food regulation. Therefore, it is considered to be safe for edible purpose. The iodine absorption number obtained was 145.2, which might be belonged to drying oil. The physico-chemical properties of the seed oil such as acid value, saponification number and refractive index showed the characteristics of an unsaturated high molecular fatty acid compound. The seed oil was composed of 34.8% of oleic acid, 25.1% of linoleic acid and 26.1% of linolenic acid, which accounts for more than 80% of essential fatty acid. Therefore, it could be used as an edible oil. Seventeen kinds of amino acids were anayzed from seed protein. Among them comparatively high content of threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were observed. As a non-essential amino acid, glutamic acid was found as high as 4.985%. From these results the seed of thornless Chinese pepper would be good for oil and protein source.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of different ratios of sawdust to poultry manure as an earthworm feed on the change of physico-chemical characteristics and earthworm viability during composting, and further to provide the basic information for an efficient vermicomposting using the manure of livestock. Experimental earthworm used in this study was Eisenia foetida and the ratio of sawdust and poultry was determined to 100:0(A), 80:20(B), 70:30(C), 60:40(D) and 50:50(E) on the basis of volume. The results are summarized as follows. Earthworm appeared after 6 wk of aging period, and it was possible for the earthworm to survive in treatments of C. D and E including 30 $^{\sim}$ 50% of sawdust. C/N ratio was significantly higher (P<0.05) in treatments of sawdust mixture (B, C, D, and E) than poultry manure alone (A treatment).Appropriate C/N ratio for earthworm survival was the range of 16.9 to20.7. During period of aging, pH value and electrolyticconductivity (EC) were the highest in the treatment of poultry manure alone. However, as the inclusion of sawdust was increased, pH showed decreasing tendency. Appropriate pH and EC for earthworm survival were 7.69 to 7.79, and 2.77 to 2.87mS/cm, respectively. The results from this study indicated that the mixing of poultry manure with sawdust more improved physico-chemical environment for earthworm growth in comparison with poultry manure alone, and sawdust showed the sufficient possibilityas a bulking agent for an efficient vermicomposting of poultry manure.
