This study was conducted to investigate the nutrient components and physicochemical properties of general ('Superior') and colored potato. Proximate composition, reducing sugar, free sugars, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals were analyzed, and Hunter color values were measured in the study. 'Rose' and 'Blue' (colored potatoes) contained high levels of reducing sugar, and total free sugar content was greatly different according to varieties. Glutamic acid, arginine and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid were detected to be the three major amino acids in colored potato, and the major organic acids of general potato were oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and citric acid. All potato contained high level of potassium, calcium and magnesium. The Hunter 'L' value was the highest in 'Jaseo'; Hunter 'a' value was high in 'Blue' and 'Jasim'; Hunter 'b' value was the highest in 'Haryoung'. Overall, colored potato had higher amount of nutrients and physicochemical properties than 'Superior'. Therefore, colored potatoes are expected to be highly valuable items for the development and applications of a functional food. In addition, these results will provide fundamental data for improving sitological value, breeding of new cultivar and promoting of roughage usage.

Soy sauce was prepared with the addition of Gorosoe and Kojesu saps instead of tap water to make ordinary soy sauce, respectively. The changes of free sugar, organic acid, mineral, amino acid and nucleotides and other compounds during the fermentation of soy sauce were assessed. The free sugar were found to be fructose, glucose, galactose and sucrose in soy sauce of saps but sucrose was not detected in ordinary soy sauce. Galactose contents were dominant free sugar in all samples. The contents of butyric acid were dominant among 7 kinds of organic acid while fumaric acid was trace amount during the fermentation of soy sauce. The contents of potassium and phosphorus among 13 kinds of minerals were dominant during the fermentation of soy sauce. In the amino acid composition of soy sauce, dominant amino acid was glutamic acid(185.6${\pm}$1.0 mg/100 ml above), but proline and arginine were not detected. AMP detected above 7.5${\pm}$O.2 ${\mu}$mol/100 ml was dominant while inosine was not detected during the fermentation of soy sauce. The results of sensory evaluation in the fermented soy sauce of Gorosoe was 'liked more' than that of soy sauce of Kojesu and control.

This study was investigated the difference in the quality characteristics of the fermented soybean roasted with different conditions for making chungyukjang. Roasted condition of soybean was decided by pre-test, which was on $140^{\circ}C$ for 21 min, $180^{\circ}C$ 9.5 min, and $220^{\circ}C$ 6 min. Fermented soybean with different roasted condition and conventionally made cheonggukjang were measured for proximate composition, color, pH, amino nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, free sugar and amino acids. The lightness and yellowness of soybean fermented by conventional method was higher than those of the fermented soybean with roasted soybean. The contents of free sugar of fermented soybean roasted on $220^{\circ}C$ for 6 min (FS220) was the highest among the group and followed by fermented soybean roasted on $180^{\circ}C$ for 9.5 min (FS180), $140^{\circ}C$ 21 min (FS140) and conventional cheonggukjang (FS0). The contents of total free amino acid was highest on fermented soybean roasted on $140^{\circ}C$ for 21 min (FS140) and followed by fermented soybean roasted on $180^{\circ}C$ for 9.5 min (FS180), $220^{\circ}C$ 6 min (FS220) and conventional cheonggukjang (FS0).

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the taste components of cheonggukjang made with germinated soybeans, which is produced by the addition of a smoking process. The total organic acid content of smoked cheonggukjang made with germinated soybeans (SCGS) was four times higher than that of non-smoked cheonggukjang made with non-germinated soybeans (NCNS). The total organic acid content of SCGS was lower than that of non-smoked cheonggukjang made with germinated soybeans (NCGS). The total free sugar content of NCGS and SCGS was approximately three times higher than that of NCNS. The total free amino acid content of NCGS was significantly decreased compared with that of NCNS, whereas the total free amino acid content of SCGS was 1.2 times higher than that of NCGS. The essential amino acid content of SCGS was significantly increased compared with that of NCGS. The ratio of glutamic acid to the total free amino acid in NCNS and SCGS was 19.6%. Similarly, the ratio of glutamic acid to the total free amino acid in NCGS was 19.1%. There were no significant differences in the total fatty acid content of NCNS, NCGS, and SCGS. The sensory evaluation of appearance, aroma, taste, and overall quality of SCGS was significantly increased compared with that of NCNS and NCGS. These results suggest that smoked cheonggukjang made with germinated soybeans could be utilized for the development of a novel fermented food.

The soluble solid of red pepper was extracted by water in order to investigate changes of soluble solid content by different extraction temperature $(4{\sim}90^{\circ}C)$ and time $(1/2{\sim}3\;hrs)$, and the contents of carotenoid, capsaicinoids, free sugar, organic acid, free amino acid in soluble solid were measured. Most of soluble solid in red pepper was extracted within the first 2 hrs and $93{\sim}98%$ of total soluble solid was extracted during the first 30 min. The contents of carotenoid increased by increasing extraction time and temperature, but decreased by increasing extraction time at $60^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. ${\beta}$-carotene content was sharply decreased after 2 hrs at $90^{\circ}C$. The content of capsaicinoid was sharply increased between 1 hr and 2 hr. Fructose and glucose in red pepper were extracted in the range of $83.8%{\sim}96.4%$ and the contents of free sugar gradually increased by increasing extraction time and temperature. The content of organic acid was gradually increased by increasing extraction time and temperature and the greatest amount of organic acid was extracted during the first 30 min of extraction time. The content of free amino acid was decreased by increasing extraction temperature.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of the mixed application of chemical fertilizer (CF) and liquid swine manure (LSM) on the agronomic characteristics, dry matter yield, amino acids, minerals, and free sugars in cultivating Sorghum ${\times}$ Sudangrass hybrid (SSH) on paddy soil. The field experiment was designed in a randomized block design with three replications and consisted of CF 100% (C), CF 70% + LSM 30% (T1), CF 50% + LSM 50% (T2), CF 30% + LSM 70% (T3), and LSM 100% treatment (T4). The application of LSM was based solely on the nitrogen. Plant length, leaf length, leaf width and number of leaf were significantly higher in T4 (p<0.05), but stem diameter did not show significant differences among treatments. Stem hardness increased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate decreased, but sugar degree decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate decreased. Fresh yield, dry matter yield and TDN yield were the highest in T4, whereas the lowest in T2 (p<0.05). Crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were the highest in C, T4 and T2, respectively (p<0.05). However, NDF and ADF did not show significant difference among treatments. Crude fiber decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. The total mineral content was decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. Total amino acid content was higher in the order of T1> C> T3> T4> T2 (p<0.05). Free sugar content increased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. The analysis of all the above results suggests that the application of liquid swine manure is very effective, considering the yield performance and the content of sugar degree and free sugar. In addition, liquid swine manure may be possible to grow Sorghum ${\times}$ Sudangrass hybrid without chemical fertilizer.

The study investigated the effect of diets supplemented with different levels (0 and 2.5%) of yuza (Citrus junos Sieb ex Tanaka) on the nutritional characteristics of eels (Auguilla japonica). Fish ($9.8{\pm}1.3g$) was fed to apparent satiation twice daily for 8 months. There were no significant differences in proximate composition among the treatment groups, except for the ash and carbohydrate contents (P<0.05). The vitamin C content of eel muscle in the yuza-added group was two-times higher than in non-added groups (P<0.05). Among eight organic acids in eel muscle, lactic acid was predominant, followed by citric acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, and acetic acid. Eels fed a 2.5% yuza diet had the highest lactic acid content in all groups. Six sugars were found in all groups and glucose was the major sugar. Glucose and maltose were the dominant sugars in the yuza-added group. The abundant fatty acids in the yuza-added group were C18:1 n-9, C16:0, and C16:1 n-7, which comprised over 80% of the total fatty acids. The major amino acids in samples were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and leucine. There were few differences in the free amino acid compositions among the groups. However, histidine was the predominant amino acid and constituted over 53% of the total free amino acids.

low grade leaves of flue-cured (N.C. 2326) and air-cured (Br 21) have been heated at $140^{\circ}C$ for 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. As heating duration increased, each contents of nicotine, total nitrogen, total sugar and free amino acid decreased in both leaves. The result obtained from this experiment are as following 1. Nicotine content decreased in both leaves. Heating for 10 and 20 minutes showed respectively nicotine decrease of 13.2% and 21.6% for Br 21 and 8.2% and 13.2% for N.C.2326. Decrease of total nitrogen and total sugar was inversely proportional to the heating duration. N.C. 2326 in the decrease out numbered Br.21 by the ratio 2: 1 for 10min.-heating, and 5:4 for 20 min.-heating. 3. Total free amino acid was decrease by 17.1% and 13.85 for N.C. 2326 and Br 21, respectively when heated for 10 min., and 25.6% and 26.5% respectively when heated for 20 min. When sucrose was added to Br 21, th decrease ratio of total free amino acid of Br.21 was increased. It is suggested that the addition of sucrose could promote the browning reaction in Br 21 leaves.
