This study was conducted to investigate the effect of age on the contents of carnitine, free amino acid, and nucleotide-related compound in Holstein calf meat. Twenty calves were allocated into four age groups (3, 6, 9, or 12 mon of age; n=5/group), and ribeye (M. longissimus dorsi) and top round (M. semimembranosus) were excised from left side of each carcass on day 1 post-mortem. Carnitine contents for ribeye and top round were 0.79~1.16 and 0.65~1.26 mg/100 g, respectively, and those showed a tendency to be the highest in 3 mon group. The contents of majority of free amino acids were the highest (p<0.05) in ribeye and top round from 12 mon group. The contents of adenosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate, and inosine were the highest (p<0.05) in ribeye and top round from 12 mon group, but hypoxanthine content was the lowest (p<0.05) in those from 12 mon group. These findings suggest that age decreases the carnitine content but increases free amino acid and good taste-related nucleotides contents in Holstein calf meat.

Boiled-dried anchovy is one of nation-widely consumed dried fish foods in Korea. In this study, the taste compounds including nucleotides and their related compounds, free amino acids, trimethylamine oxide and total creatinine were analyzed, and their roles in tasting activity were investigated. IMP content in large size, middle size, small size and least size boiled-dried anchovy was $22.7{\mu}mole/g,\;18.6{\mu}mole/g,\;20.3{\mu}mole/g\;and\;4.0{\mu}mole/g$, respectively, and the ratio of IMP to the total nucleotides and their related compounds in each sample was $55.0\%,\;51.0\%,\;69.1\%\;and\;47.0\%$, respectively. In the free amino acid composition of the four size groups of boiled-dried anchovy, abundant amino acids were histidine, lysine, alanine and proline, and the sum of these amino acids occupied $69.0\%,\;67.7\%$. $66.8\%\;and\;45.9\%$ of the total free amino acid in each sample, respectively. Among these. histidine was the most dominant in all samples amounting to 589.0 mg/100g in lage size, 373.9 mg/100g in middle size, 437.8 mg/100g in small sire and 101.0 mg/100g in least size, while aspartic acid and methionine were poor in content. Among the organic bases, total creatinine was abundant, and its nitrogen content ranged from $21\%\;to\;39\%$ of the total extractive nitogen. From the results of omission test, the taste-active compounds of the boiled-dried anchovy are assumed to be IMP and free amino acids.

New drying method was tested comparison with a traditional one used for production of Kwamaegi, semi dry pacific saury in east coast area of Kyungbuk province. During 15 days of total drying period, change in nucleotides and free amino acids were measured in edible portion of pacific saury from different dry methods, natural(traditional) and artificial method. ADP and AMP detected in raw fish were decrease while IMP, inosine, hypoxanthine increased during drying period. K1 values expressed as(Hx+HxR$\times$100/Hx+HxR+IMP) increased gradually throughout drying period, indicating the decline of freshness by drying. Freshness judged by change in nucleotides and related compounds was better in samples from artificial drying than from natural one. Special flavors of Kwamaegi were regarded to be synergistic actions of IMP and some amino acids. Content of total free amino acids of raw fish comprised 2.9g by weight(100g) and sum of glutamic acid, aspartic acid and histidine was over 34% of total amino acid content. Glutamic acid content. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid contents were reduced rapidly from 3rd to 9th day more decrease by artifical drying than by natural drying. Lysine content were gradually increased under two different drying conditions and threonine didn't change by two drying conditions.

In order to investigate the composition and the actual status of extractive nitrogenous compounds in the fresh 'Gae-bul' (echiuroid), a kind of echiurida (Urechis unicinctus), the extract was analyzed separately into extractive nitrogen, free amino acids (FAAs), oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds, using specimens collected at fish market in April 1988. The extractive nitrogen of echiuroid was $601{\sim}610mg/100g$. Thirty-two kinds of FAAs were found, and the total of them in it was $2,437{\sim}2,609\;mg$. Glycine, alanine, taurine, and serine were the major FAAs in the echiuroid extracts. The large amount of glycine $(1,075{\sim}1,171mg)$ was noted in the extract. The sum of ATP and its related compounds was $3.04{\sim}3.12\;{\mu}mol/g$, and predominant compound was the AMP. Besides, CTP, GTP, UTP and their related compounds were also detected, and the total amount of them was $1.92{\sim}3.74\;{\mu}mol/g$. The lower homarine, trigonelline, TMAO, TMA, and creatine were detected in the extracts. The extractive nitrogenous constituents of medium size and large size echiuroid were almost the same level each other. The total nitrogens of the compounds analyzed for each samples accounted for more than 90% of the extractive nitrogen in this study.

핵이계조미료는 쇠고기와 송이버섯 등의 조미성분으로서 글루탐산나트륨과 함께 식품의 맛을 좌우하는 가장 중요한 정미성분으로 5'-IMP와 5'-GMP의 Na염을 말한다. 이미 일본에서는 1961년부터 이를 공업화하고, "기효공업의 첨단을 걷는 납술"이라고 전세계에 자랑하면서 극필기술로 지금까지 생산하고 있다.(중략)

Characteristics of brewing product, Mageoly mashes diluted by the same ratio of water was investigated for alcohol formation, pH change, acid formation nucleotide content and sensory evaluation stored at $3^{\circ}C\;or\;30^{\circ}C$ during 7 days. Each sample was mixed with lysozyme 270ppm and glycine 0.27%, or lysozyme 450ppm and glycine 0.45% on the secondary brewing process in Mageoly brewing. The brewing was not affected by addition of lysozyme and glycine mixture. When the lysozyme-glycine mixture was added during brewing, that resulted in a decrease in pH, a suppression of acid formation and an increase in IMP and inosine content Therefore ere was significantly improved in taste and palatability.

Abalone, Haliotis diversicolor japonica, is one of the most palatable sea foods in Jeju-Do, Korea : however relatively little is known about the characteristics of its taste. This study was undertaken to establish the basic data for evaluating the taste compounds in the extract of abalone including nucleotides and their related compounds, free amino acids, trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine and total creatinine. The amount of AMP was $2.21{\mu}mole/g$ while IMP and inosine was trace in content. In the extracts, taurine, arginine and glycine were abundant holding $39.9\%,\;25.4\%,\;14.0\%$ of total free amino acids content respectively, but tyrosine and phenylalanine was trace in content. TMAO, TMA and total creatinine were poor in content marking $5.4mg\%,\;1.0mg\%\;and\;5.0mg\%$. It was presumed that the characteristic flavor of abalone was mainely attributed to free amino acids. Organic acids, nucleotides and their related compounds played auxiliary role in the characteristic flavor of abalone.

We have examined to evaluate the taste compounds of damchi-jeotguk(concentrated sea mussel extract) which is a kind of traditional processed sea food in Korea. The contents of such compounds as free amino acids, nucleotides their and related compounds, non-volatile organic acid and fatty acid composition were analyzed. The content of total free amino acids was 10520.5mg/100g on dry basis and the major ones were glycine, arginine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid. These amino acids were resulted as 55.7% of total free amino acids in damchi-jeotguk. Hypoxanthine was the highest content($8.77\;{\mu}mole/g$, dry basis) of nucleotides and their related compounds. Free amino acid-N was the most abundant, resulting 53.3% of extractive nitrogen which was 3490.2mg/100g on dry basis and next ammonia-N, nucleotide-N and TMAO-N in order. The major non-volatile organic in damchi-jeotguk were succinic acid(125.5mg/100g, dry basis) and lactic acid 91.9mg/100g, dry basis). In this fatty acid composition of total lipid, polyenoic acid was abundant holding 45.5%. The major fatty acids were 16 : 0, 18 : 2, 22 : 6, 18 : 1 and 20 : 5. It was concluded from the omission test and chemical analysis that the major taste compounds of damchi-jeotguk were free amino acids and non-volatile organic acids.
