This study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing(EO) water, electrolyzed oxidizing water with 0.5% citron juice and 0.1% aluminium potassium sulfate (APS) solution as the storing liquids to maintain quality and extend shelf life of peeled taro. Water content of peeled taro increased from 80.55% to 82.12∼84.24% after 25 days storage due to moisture absorption. However, there were no significant difference between treatments. In case of color value of peeled taro, L value was slowly decreased and a, b value was generally increased. Texture of peeled taro decreased from initial 4,520$\pm$75 g to 4,160$\pm$80 g after 25 days storage in EO water with 0.5% citron juice, which is the least reduction value in all treatments. Treatment of EO water with 0.5％ citron juice maintained 6.99 mg%(57%) of total vitamin C after 25 days storage which showed highest total vitamin C content between treatments. In most treatments, total sugar was decreased in fast rate for 15 days storage and slowly decreased after 15 days storage. Free sugar content was not changed significantly during storage. In case of sucrose content which is the major portion of free sugar, reduction continued until the midst of storage. and after that it increased to 1.5∼2 times of initial contents. However, there were no differences between treatments and storage days in contents of fructose, glucose and maltose. Major amino acids in peeled taro were aspartic acid and glutamic acid with 1,084.8 and 691.8 mg/100g respectively. At 25 days of storage, aspartic acid content in treatment of EO water was increased about 13.9%. Treatment of EO water with 0.5% citron juice was the most effective in respect to the reduction ratio of total amount of essential amino acids.

Glycine residue in N-X-glycylphenylalanine methyl ester(X = trifluoroacetyl or acetyl) was converted into aspartic acid derivative by a photoalkylation reaction. The reaction was induced with 350 nm lamp using a combination of diacetyl/di-t-butyl peroxide (DBP) as the photoinitiator, and acetic anhydride as the alkylating agent. In the thermal reaction with DBP and acetic anhydride, the same alkylation reaction of the dipeptide was observed. From this thermal alkylation reaction the photoalkylation reaction is also thought to undergo via free radical mechanism.

The enzymatic synthesis of conjugates of lysine and aspartic acid with D-glucose was studied. Optimase M-440 showed the very poor regioselectivity in the transesterification of $N{\alpha}$,$N'{\varepsilon}-di-t-Boc-L-Lys-OTFE$ and N-t-Boc-L-Asp-diOTFE with D-glucose. The acylation of glycosidic -OH and primary -OH of D-glucose occurred. However, Optimase M-440 catalyzed only the acylation of primary -OH group in the transesterification of $N{\alpha}$,$N'{\varepsilon}-di-t-Boc-L-Lys-OTFE$ and N-t-Boc-L-Asp-diOTFE with ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-methylglucopyranoside$ in high yields without any other transesterification. Optimase M-440 also discriminated carboxyl groups of N-t-Boc-L-Asp-diOTFE.

The changes in fatty acids and free amino acids of raw and salted-dried flatheads were determined during steaming, boiling and baking process. 1. Raw flathead was composed of 74.9% of moisture, 1.9% of ash, 0.9% of crude lipid, and 21.6% of crude protein. 2. The main fatty acids of raw and salted-dried flathead were palmitic acid (21.5%) and lignoceric acid (52.4%) which covered 73.9% of total fatty acid. The fatty acid contents of raw and salted-dried flathead were higher in the steaming than in the boiling and baking. 3. The main free amino acids of .aw and salted-dried flathead were aspartic acid (12.2%), glutamic acid(14.8%), leuicine (8.4%), Iysine (9.8%) and arginine (6.8%), which covered 52% of total free amino acids. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the contents of free amino acids between raw and salted-dried flatheads as well as among steaming, boiling and baking processes.

Variations of the seventeen amino acids(aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, cystein, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, histidine, lysine, arginine) were analyzed in human hair sample by amino acid auto analyzer(AAA). The effect of bleaching and permanent wave manipulation on the amino acid composition of hair were investigated. Hair samples were collected from 10 males in their thirties. Hair samples were treated with 10 mL of 6 N hydrochloric acid at $110^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and analysed by AAA. The results showed that the amino acid content of normal hair(73.9%) decreased to 71.5% and 69.3% after bleaching and permanent wave treatment, respectively. Furthermore, mean contents of lysine and tyrosine in amino acids showed obviously decreased about 25% by permanent wave and bleaching treatment. On the other hand, serine, cystein, leucine and histidine were not changed.

The differences of nutritive components in muscle and viscera of local and Israeli strains of common carp were examined. The crude lipid content in muscle was higher in the local carp than in the Israeli carp, but that in viscera was lower in the local carp than in the Israeli carp. There was no appreciable differences of crude protein and ash in viscera between local and Israeli carp. The distribution patterns of the total amino acid profiles for both local and Israeli carp were very similar. The principal amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and Iysine. They were 42 percent of total amino acids. Taurine and histidine were important part of free amino acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid content in the polar lipids were high in both strains.
