Fermented anchovy pickle isone of the favorite sea food in Korea made from anchovy (Engraulis japonica) and salt. Lipid oxidation and proteolysis in the salted anchovy were rapidly occured at the early stage of ripening and the rate of proteolysis seemed to be sligtly delayed with the ripening. The major fatty acids in the raw anchovy were saturated of acids $C_{16:0}$, $C_{18:0}$ and $C_{14:0}$ while most of unsaturated acids were $C_{22:6}$, $C_{18:1}$and $C_{16:1}$ and they marked 30.8% ana 48.7% to the total fatty acids, respectiyely. When the pickle was ripened for 91 days, $C_{14:0}$$C_{16:0}$ acids were greatly increased, whereas $C_{22:6}$, $C_{20:5}$ and $C_{20:1}$acids were decreased. The main fatty acids of lipids of the anchovy pickle were $C_{16:1}$ and $C_{18:1}$ (30%). Amino acid composition of the HCl hydrolysates of raw anchovy showed big·her contents of glutamic acid, Iysine, aspartic acid, leucine and alanine while the contents of tryptophan, methionine, tyrosine, serine and phenylalanine were the lower. In free amino acid composition, the raw anchovy contained much of histidine, alanine, leucine, Iysine and arginine, and the anchovy pickle ripened for 91 days showed higher levels in the contents of lysine, leucine, glutamic acid, alanine and aspartic acid. In the ripened anchovf pickle aspartic acid, glycine, glutamic acid, isoleucine and valine incressed whereas thistidine decreased.

Fatty Acid contents of entomopathogenic nematodes(EPNs) were examined by various types of nematodes and culture methods. Seven different types EPNs cultured by in vivo did not contain same fatty acid contents, but similar compositions. It was also found that Steinernema carpocapsae among EPNs cultured by in vivo and in vitro contained not only different fatty acid contents, but also revealed distinctive motilities in a soil. The addition of olive oil in the in vitro culture medium resulted in similar fatty acid contents of S. carpocapsae to in vivo and greatly improved the pathogenicity of nematodes compared to that of soy oil in the medium.

Supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide was used to investigate the effects of its temperature and density on the distribuion coefficients of fatty-acid esters composing fish oil. The distribution coefficient of fatty acid ester was greatly different from each other according to the temperature and density of the supercritical fluid. The possibility of separation of a certain fatty acid from the mixture of fatty acids was tested. The density of the supercritical fluid showing the great differences ofthe distribution coefficients among the fatty acid esters ranged from 0.3 g/mL to 0.4 g/mL. The retrograde condensation took place at high densities of the supercritical fluid.

Response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with a 17-run central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the non-catalytic hydrolysis of lard using subcritical water to produce fatty acids (FA). The effects of three variables including temperature, molar ratio of water to oil and time, and their relationship on FA content were investigated. A quadratic regression model was employed to predict the FA contents. Optimum reaction conditions for maximizing the FA content were obtained as follows: reaction temperature of $288.5^{\circ}C$, molar ratio of water to oil of 39.5 and reaction time of 29.5 min. Under the optimum conditions, the predicted and experimentally obtained FA contents were 97.06% and 96.99%, respectively.

In this study, the most preferred trans fatty acid analysis methods, AOAC 996.06 and the Korea Food and Drug Administration official method, were reviewed and modified to apply to dairy products and dairy products imported into the Republic of Korea for evaluating trans fatty acid (TFA) content. The Rose-Gottlieb method for total fat analysis was validated with accuracy and precision parameters by analyzing infant formula standard reference material provided by the National Institute for Standards and Technology. The accuracy and precision data satisfied the CODEX guidelines. TFAs were analyzed with a resolution of 1.5 for 45 min using the modified oven temperature program. This modified method was applied to 45 dairy products from 11 countries. Average TFA contents in these imported dairy products ranged from 0.1 to 5.4 g per 100 g product. The majority of dairy products imported into the Republic of Korea were cheeses. TFA contents in the cheeses were 0.1 to 2.4 g per 100 g cheese. TFA contents in other dairy products were 1.7 to 5.4 g per 100 g product. These TFAs content variations can be explained by the trans fatty acids naturally present in ruminant milk formed by bacterial bio-hydrogenation in the rumen of cows and the different vegetable fat used as ingredients in the final products.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of trans-unsaturated fatty acid (TFA), saturated fatty acid (SFA) and general unsaturated fatty acid (USFA) on serum lipid levels in ICR mice. Male ICR 8-week-old mice were divided into six groups; the control group (C) fed with normal diet, the TFA-1 group fed with 10% trans-unsaturated fatty acid, the TFA-2 group fed with 30% trans-unsaturated fatty acid, the TFA-3 group fed with 50% trans-unsaturated fatty acid, the SFA group fed with 50% saturated fatty acid, and USFA group fed with 50% general unsaturated fatty acid. The serum total cholesterol of TFA-3 and SFA was higher than those of other fat groups and C. The serum triglyceride (TG) of TFA-3 and SFA showed the highest levels among all of diet groups. Also the serum HDL cholesterol levels of TFA-3 showed the lowest. LDL cholesterol and atherogenic indices (AI) were remarkedly increased in TFA-3 and SFA, as compared with other fat fed groups and C. Taken together with results, the TFA-3 group showed serum lipid levels similar to the SFA and different from the USFA. These results suggest that intake of high level of trans-unsaturated fatty acid increased serum triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and atherogenic indices, which may affect risk on serum lipid level for lipid metabolism syndrome.

This work was carried to evaluate effect of different raising periods on fatty acids and amino acids properties of Korean native commercial ducks. Korean native ducks (n = 90) from National Institute of Animal Science (RDA, Korea) were divided into 6 groups (15 birds/group) and were fed with meat-type duck diets for 8 wk old. When ducks grew at specific wk (6, 7 and 8 weeks), 2 ducks per group were slaughtered at 6, 7 and 8 wk old. Myristic acid (C14:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) of saturated fatty acid (SFA) were the highest and arachidonic acid of unsaturated fatty acid (USFA) was the lowest at the age of 6 weeks old (P<0.05) at the age of 6 weeks old among treatments. Stearic acid of SFA was the highest at the age of 7 weeks old among treatments. There was no significant difference on other fatty acids among treatments. SFA and USFA have significant difference at the age of 8 weeks (P<0.05). Histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine and threonine of essential amino acid increased with passing weeks (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on isoleucine and valine (P>0.05). Every non-essential amino acids were the highest at the age of 8 weeks among treatments (P<0.05). In conclusion, fatty acid contents and amino acid contents increased until the age of 8 weeks old, but further research was needed because of deficiency of data to suggest the correct shipping time.

This study was carried out to estimate mineral contents of some underground vegetables including potatoes, sweet-potatoes, carrots, radishes, onions, and garlics produced in Korea using ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). According to the measurements, the contents of Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, and P in Korean underground vegetables were variable depending upon producing areas and individual plants. Compared with other underground vegetables, the contents of Na in carrots and lotus roots were quite high. The contents of Cd, Ag Co. and Sr appeared to be below hazard levels. It is expected that this study can be used to calculate the mineral intake from underground vegetables.

The composition of free sugar were sucrose, maltose in the chestnut flowers and sucrose, glucose, fructose in the chestnut leaves. The contains of tannin were 0.16% in the chestnut flower and 1.98% in the chestnut leaves. In fatty acids case, the linoleic contents were significantly high in the chestnut leaves and flowers. The organic acids showed high composition to succnic and citric acid in the chestnut leaves. The ammo acid compositions showed high contents to aspatic acid, proline, glutamic acid, glycine and methionine in the chestnut leaves and flowers. The total amino acid showed significantly higher in the chestnut leaves than flowers. The major minerals contained in the chestnut leaves and flowers were K, Ca, Ng, Fe, Mn and Al. Ascorbic acids were detected highly in the chestnut leaves and flowers.

Eicosanoids are a group of C20 oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). To monitor biosynthetic precursors of these PUFAs, this study extracted fatty acids from different tissues of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, and assessed their compositions using GC/MS. Fifth instar larvae were dissected to isolate different tissues of gut, fat body, hemocytes, and integument. From each tissue, total lipids were extracted and fractionated into neutral lipid (NL), glycolipid (GL), and phospholipid (PL). Most tissues contained palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2), and linolenic acid (18:3). However, their compositions were different among tissues and lipid types. Fat body and hemocytes possessed other type of fatty acids such as myristic acid (14:0) and three unknown fatty acids. Among lipid types, PL contained relatively high levels of linolenic acid than NL and GL, while it had lower saturated fatty acids. Total unsaturated fatty acid composition was varied among tissues and lipid types. PL was rich in unsaturated fatty acids in fat body, gut, and hemocytes. There was a significant influence of calcium-independent phospholipase $A_2$ ($iPLA_2$) on maintaining fatty acid composition because RNA interference of $iPLA_2$ expression significantly modified fatty acid compositions in NL and PL. However, this study did not detect arachidonic acid, a main eicosanoid biosynthesis precursor, in all tissues. This suggests an alternative biosynthesis of eicosanoids in insects, which is distinct from the biosynthetic pathway of mammals.
