An in situ digestion trial (Experiment 1) and a lactation trial (Experiment 2) were conducted to determine the effects of replacing corn and wheat bran with soyhulls (SH) in lactating dairy cow diets on the extent and kinetics of digestion of DM and NDF, and lactation performance. In experiment 1, five mixed feeds consisting of mixed concentrate and roughages (50:50 on a DM basis) were formulated on isonitrogenous and isoenergetic bases to produce five levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of SH replacement for corn and wheat bran. SH had high in situ digestion (92 and 89% for potentially digestible DM and NDF) and fairly fast digestion rate (7.2 and 6.3 %/h for DM and NDF). Increasing level of SH replacement resulted in increased NDF digestibility (linear, p=0.001-0.04) and similar DM digestibility (beyond 12 h incubation, p=0.10-0.41). As level of SH replacement increased, percentage of slowly digestible fraction (b) of DM increased (linear, p=0.03), percentage of rapidly digestible fraction (a) of DM tended to decrease (linear, p=0.14), and DM digestion lag time tended to be longer (linear, p=0.13). Percentage of potentially digestible fraction (a+b) and digestion rate (c) of slowly digestible fraction of dietary DM remained unaltered (p=0.36-0.90) with increasing SH in the diet. Increasing level of SH for replacing corn and wheat bran in the diet resulted in increases in percentages of b (quadratic, p<0.001), a (linear, p=0.08), a+b (quadratic, p=0.001) and a tendency to increase in c for NDF (linear, p<0.19). It was also observed that there was a satisfactory fit of a non-linear regression model to NDF digestion data ($R^2=0.986-0.998$), but a relatively poor fit of the model to DM digestion data ($R^2=0.915-0.968$). In experiment 2, 42 lactating Holstein cows were used in a randomized complete block design. SH replaced corn and wheat bran in mixed concentrates at 0, 25, and 50%, respectively. These mixed concentrates were mixed with roughages and fed ad libitum as complete diets. Replacing corn and wheat bran with SH at 0, 25 and 50% levels did not influence (p=0.56-0.95) DM intakes (18.4, 18.6, and 18.5 kg/d), milk yields (27.7, 28.4 and 27.6 kg/d), 4% fat-corrected-milk (FCM) yields (26.2, 27.6, and 27.3 kg/d) and percentages of milk protein (3.12, 3.17 and 3.18%), milk lactose (4.69, 4.76 and 4.68%) and SNF (8.50, 8.64, and 8.54%). On the other hand, milk fat percentges linearly increased (3.63, 3.85 and 3.90% for SH replacement rates of 0, 25 and 50% in the diet, p=0.08), while feed costs per kg FCM production were reduced.

Agricultural and forest wastes were tested as substrate for the production of Flammulina velutipes. Among the meranti, pine tree, mixed sawdust, coffee waste and peanut hull tested, coffee waste was the best basal substrate for the production of basidiocarps. When various supplements, such as ricebran, brewer's grain, defatted corn flour, defatted soybean flour and defatted rapeseed flour were tested, defatted corn flour was chosen for the production of basidiocarps. Maximum yield of basidiocarps(129.38 g/bottle) was obtained from the mixed medium at 4 : 1 ratio of coffee waste and defatted corn flour.

Four types of straw, namely, soybean, wheat, corn, and rice, were investigated for use in lactic acid production. These straws were mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. After pretreatment with ammonia, the cellulose content increased, whereas the hemicellulose and lignin contents decreased. Analytical results also showed that the liquid enzymatic hydrolysates were primarily composed of glucose, xylose, and cellobiose. Preliminary experiments showed that a higher lactic acid concentration could be obtained from the wheat and soybean straw. However, soybean straw was chosen as the substrate for lactic acid production owing to its high protein content. The maximum lactic acid yield (0.8 g/g) and lactic acid productivity (0.61 g/(l/h)) were obtained with an initial reducing sugar concentration of 35 g/l at 30℃ when using Lactobacillus casei (10% inoculum) for a 42 h fermentation period. Thus, the experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of using a soybean straw enzymatic hydrolysate as a substrate for lactic acid production.

Stigmastanol, a functional agent of cholesterol-lowering in humans, was synthesized from stigmasterol. To investigate the usability as a raw material, the contents of sterol in vegetable oils and extract of soybean chaff were analyzed. The total sterol contents showed high values of 213.7 and 209.8 mg/100g in corn and soybean oils respectively. The extract of soybean chaff has played a good role as a raw material with high sterol contents. The kinetics of hydrogenation of stigmasterol was studied using a 5% Pd/AC catalyst in the temperature range of 30~$60^{\circ}$C. Increasing temperature showed a prominent decrease in conversion. The optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}$C for high yield of stigmastanol. The effects of $H_2$ pressure, agitation speed, catalyst loading, and stigmasterol concentration on reaction rate profile were also examined. From the power law model analysis using the initial rates of reaction, the reaction order was calculated as 0.705 for stigmasterol concentration and 0.147 for hydrogen pressure.

Mycelia of Pleurotus ostreatus, Phellinus linteus, Ganoderma lucidum and Lentinus edodes were cultured in the selected cereals to generate functionally active cereals. The optimum water contents for the mycelial growth were 50%(wt/wt) for brown rice, barley and soybean and 75% for wheat and corn, respectively. P. ostreatus grew well in the most cereals while the mycelial growth of P. linteus, G. lucidum and L. edodes in soybean were siginificantly retarded. The contents of β-glucan and glucosamine in the mycelial cereals were determined. Wheat cultured with mushroom mycelia showed high ß-glucan content. Especially, wheat with G. lucidum contained the highest value of 26.16%. Soybean cultured with G. lucidum showed two-fold increase in glucosamine content with 9.63% of total mass while wheat showed 7.91%. Overall, wheat cultured with G. lucidum was the best functional cereal in terms of β-glucan and glucosamine contents.

The 2,2-diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, which can be used to predict the oxidative stability of edible oils, was previously reported by our research group. Not only free radical scavenging antioxidants but also radicals from oxidized oils are capable of reacting with DPPH radicals, thereby reducing the absorbance of DPPH. In this study, the optimum sample size of edible oils for the DPPH method was determined, and the oxidation of the edible oils was monitored via DPPH, coupled with other conventional methods. The optimum sample size was determined as 1.5 g using soybean oil. Soybean, corn, virgin olive, and refined olive oils were thermally oxidized for 3 hr at $180^{\circ}C$ and analyzed via DPPH, conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) value, and p-anisidine value (p-AV) protocols. Soybean and corn oils were found to be more sensitive to thermal oxidation than virgin and refined olive oils, on the basis of the CDA value and p-AV measurements. The DPPH method can indicate the inherent radical scavenging activity of unoxidized samples, the time required for the depletion of antioxidants, and the rate of degradation of the antioxidants. The soybean and corn oils evidenced higher levels of free radical scavenging compounds, required more time for the consumption of inherent antioxidants, and also manifested steeper antioxidant degradation rates than olive oils, based on the results of DPPH analysis. The DPPH method, accompanied by other conventional methods, may prove useful in predicting the degree of oxidation of vegetable oils.

Objective: This study was to evaluate effects of mixed plant oils (identified as mixed oil 1 [MO1] and mixed oil 2 [MO2]) on performance, serum composition, viscera percentages, meat quality, and fatty acid deposition of broilers. Methods: A total of 126 one-day-old Arbor Acres male broiler chicks (weighing $44.91{\pm}0.92g$) were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 treatments with 7 replicate pens per treatment (6 broilers per pen). Dietary treatments included a corn-soybean basal diet supplemented with 3% soybean oil (CTR), basal diet with 3% MO1 (a mixture of 15% corn oil, 10% coconut oil, 15% linseed oil, 20% palm oil, 15% peanut oil and 25% soybean oil; MO1), or basal diet with 3% MO2 (a combination of 50% MO1 and 50% extruded corn; MO2). The trial consisted of phase 1 (d 1 to 21) and phase 2 (d 22 to 42). Results: Compared to CTR, broilers fed MO (MO1 or MO2) had greater (p<0.05) average daily gain in phase 1, 2, and overall (d 1 to 42), redness in thigh muscle, concentrations of serum glucose, serum albumin, saturated fatty acids (SFA) and n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ratio in breast muscle, while these broilers also showed lower ($p{\leq}0.05$) drip loss and concentrations of C18:3n-3 and PUFA/SFA ratio in breast muscle. Broilers fed MO2 had higher (p<0.05) liver percentage, while broilers fed MO1 had lower ($p{\leq}0.05$) feed conversion ratio in phase 1 and increased (p<0.05) contents of C18:2n-6, C20:5n-3, C22:6n-3, and n-3 PUFA in breast muscle compared to CTR. Conclusion: Mixed plant oils had positive effects on performance, serum parameters, meat quality, liver percentage and fatty acid deposition in broilers, which indicates they can be used as better dietary energy feedstocks than soybean oil alone.

For the purpose of improving the precooked frozen food, the processing conditions of sardine steaks and the effect of soybean protein and corn starch on quality of the products during frozen storage were investigated. Fresh sardines were purchased from Busan Central Whole Sale Market and filleted. And then sardine meats were separated from fillets by fish meat separator. The meats were mixed with 0.5% sodium bicarbonate, 1.5% of table salt and 0.2% of polyphosphate, monosodium glutamate, white pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg, respectively. The mixture was minced with the stone grinder and filled in polyvinylidene chloride film tube and then stored at $-3^{\circ}C$ for 36 hours prior to frozen storage. Sardine steaks containing 3% of soybean protein were superior to those of containing 3% of corn starch or without soybean protein and corn starch on texture and eating quality of them during the period of frozen storage. It is convinced that addition of 3% of soybean protein to the sardine steak was benefically effective for the control of free drip, oxidative rancidity and the improvement of texture. The quality of frozen sardine steaks, by sensory evaluation, were preserved in good eating quality for 90 days during frozen storage.

This experiment was performed to compare the techniques of the metabolizable energy determination and to, examine the problems associated with metabolizable energy determination of poultry feedingstuffs. The feedingstuffs evaluated herein, were corn, sorghum, barley. fish meal and soybean meal The results obtained were as followings : 1. When comparing AME and AMEn values of five feedingstuffs(measured) by Total Collection ana Index Methods there was no significant difference (P＞.05) between two methods except fish meal. 2. The AME$_{F}$ values of feedingstuffs were not different (P＞.05) from AME values. which implied that bioassay of AME$_{F}$ be applicable to rapid measure AME value of feedingstuffs for poultry and the problems connecting to AME$_{F}$ determination were discussed. 3. The AME$_{FC}$ and TME values of corn, sorghum and barley were significantly higher (P＜.05) than AME and AME$_{F}$ values but those of fish meal and soybean meal were similar or lower than AME and AME$_{F}$ values. This fact was indicative that the techniques measuring AME$_{FC}$ and TME has some depressing factors when fish meal and soybean meal were determined. 4. Comparing of TME, AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME values tile TME values of corn sorghum and barley were significantly higher(P＜.05) than AME$_{FC}$ and T- AME values. But that of fish meal and soybean meal was much lower(P＜ .05)comparing with AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME values. According]y, it night be concluded that the relationship among the values of TME. AME$_{FC}$ and T-AME was shown great variation according to the feedingstuffs, especially in the protein diets.

This study determined the effects of soybean oil$2\%$) and chitosan($1\%$) on the quality characteristics of Omija Jelly made of various starches (mungbean starch, cowpea starch and corn starch). RVA(Rapid Visco Analyzer) viscosity was measured for starches suspended in Omija aextract with $2\%$ soybean oil and $1\%$ chitosan. The color value, syneresis, texture(rupture test and TPA test) and sensory properties of the samples were measured. Gelatinization of cowpea starch was expedited by adding soybean oil and chitosan. Otherwise, gelatinization of mungbean starch and com starch was retarded by adding chitosan. The lightness(L) and the syneresis of Omija Jelly with soybean oil and chitosan were decreased, indicating the increased transparency and stability of Omija Jelly. Rupture stress and rupture energy of Omija Jelly were decreased by adding soybean oil. Rupture stress was increased and rupture energy was decreased by adding chitosan. The addition of soybean oil improved texture of Omija Jelly, indicating that the springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of Omija Jelly were increased and adhesiveness was decreased. By adding chitosan, the springiness and hardness of Omija Jelly were increased and the cohesiveness and adhesiveness were decreased. The overall acceptability of Omija Jelly made of $6%$ or $7\%$ cowpea starch and com starch was increased by adding soybean oil and chitosan, but the quality characteristics of Omija Jelly made of mungbean starch were not influenced by additives such as soybean oil and chitosan.
