This study was conducted to determine the response of main growth characters, yield and chemical composition of Jeju native soybean based on the difference between phosphate rates (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250kg/ha) from May 11 to September 10 in 2002 in Jeju island. Days to flowering was delayed from 92 days to 97 days as the increasing of phosphate rate. Also plant height grew longer from 109cm to 124cm. The number of branches and leaves, stem diameter, root length and weight of root grew powerful as phosphate rate increased from 0 to 250kg/ha. Fresh forage yield was 26.5MT/ha in the nonphosphate plot and then was 36.9MT/ha as phosphate rate increased to 250kg/ha. And the difference between 200kg/ha and 250kg/ha in phosphate rate was not significant. Dry matter, crude protein and TDN yield increased 6.0∼7.9MT/ha, 0.9∼1.4MT/ha and 3.4∼4.9MT/ha respectively, as the increasing of phosphate rate. Also crude protein, crude fat, NFE and TDN content increased 15.5∼18.3%, 2.2∼3.3%, 42.5∼43.5%, and 56.7∼61.9% respectively. In contrast with this, crude fiber and crude ash decreased 32.1∼28.1% and 7.7∼6.8% respectively. To reach the climax of forage yield was estimated optimum phosphate rate to be 200kg/ha.

This study was carried out to select superior soybean cultivars for forage production for soybean forage production in Jeju. The results obtained are summarized as follows; Eighteen soybean cultivars were grown from May 11 to September 11 in 2002 in Jeju to select superior cultivars for forage production. Days to flowering was shortest(58 days) for Seokryangkong and Keunolkong, and longest(93 days) for Danpaheukdu. Days to flowering for other cultivars ranged from 65 to 69 days. Pureunkong and Namhaekong had greater heights(129.3 and 124.6 cm, respectively) while Keunolkong, Hwaeomkong and Seokryangkong had shorter heights. The number of branches per plant was gratest for Sobaekkong, Manrikong, Pungsankong, Kwangankong and Geumgangkong. The number of leaves per plant was geatest for Sobaekkong, Iksankong and Namhaekong. Rueunkong and Jangmikong had thicker stems. Fresh forage yield was greatest for Iksankong, Sobaekkong and Namhaekong(39.5, 39.3 md 38.0 MT/ha respectively). DM yield of forage was featest for Baekunkong, Hnrunkong and Danpaheukdu. Danwonkong, Dawonkong, Seokryanfong and Pungsankong had ueatest forage crude protein content. Duyukong and Kwangankong had featest forage crude fiber content. Jangmikong and Keunolkong had feater crude fat content, while Sobaekkong and Kwangankong had greater crude ash content. Namhaekong, Seokryangkong, Keunolkong and Jinpumkong had greater NFE contents ranging 40.0 to 43.5 and TDN was featest in Keunolkong, Danpaheukdu, Namhaekong and Seokryangkong had greater NFE contents ranging from 59.8 to 60.9％. The best cultivars in Jeju for forage soybean appear to be Namhaekong, Danpaheukdu md Baehukong on the basis of crude protein, TDN, and dry matter yields.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of seeding date on growth, characteristic yield and chemical composition of Italian millet (Setaria italica) from April 20 to May 30, 2003(April 20, May 1, May 20 and May 30) in Jeju. A local variety was seeded on days to heading were lessened as seeding date was delayed. The plant height was longest when seeded on 1 May(131cm) than at the other seeding dates. Stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width had the similar trend with plant height. SPDA reading values were greater at earlier seedings. Fresh forage yield was greatest (43.28MT/ha) at 1 May seeding and decreased gradually before or after this seeding date. Dry matter yield, crude protein yield and total digestible nutrient (TDN) yield had nearly the same tendency with fresh forage yield. Crude protein, crude fat, NFE and TDN contents were greatest at 30 May seeding and then decreased earlier seedings. Crude ash and crude fiber content tended to decreased as seeding was delayed. Based on the these findings, optimum seeding date for forage production of Italian millet seems to be early May in Jeju island.

Jeju native soybean was grown at five plant densities(30${\times}$30cm, 30${\times}$25cm, 30${\times}$20cm, 30${\times}$15cm, 30${\times}$10cm) from May 11 to September 10 in 2002 in Jeju island to determine the optimum plant density. Days to flowering was delayed from 94 days to 98 days as increasing of plant density. Plant height was 103cm at 30${\times}$30cm plot, as plant density increased, was 117cm at 30${\times}$10cm plot. As plant density increased, the number of branches and leaves, stem diameter, weight of plant, root length and weight of root grew low. As plant density increased from 30${\times}$30cm to 30${\times}$15cm, fresh forage, dry matter, crude protein and TDN yield increased 23.3∼36.5MT/ha, 5.1∼8.0MT/ha, 0.8∼1.4MT/ha and 2.9∼4.8MT/ha respectively, but decreased at 30${\times}$10cm plot. As plant density increased, crude protein, crude fat, NFE and TDN content increased 16.2∼17.9%, 2.7∼3.7%, 37.6∼40.7% and 56.1∼60.0% respectively. In contrast with this, crude fiber and crude ash decreased 34.9 ∼30.8% and 8.6∼7.2% respectively. To reach the climax of forage yield was estimated optimum plant density to be 30${\times}$15cm.

The objective of this study was carried out to investigate nutritional characteristics and biological activities effects of Korean leaf of Rosa davurica Pall. in vitro. They were extracted with methanol and then further fractionated to n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl-acetate, n-butanol and water from methanol extracts. Methods of the antigenotoxic used in this experiment were UVA/UVB absorption property and DPPH radical scavenge. The proximate compositions of leaves of Rosa dauvrica Pall were 67.5％ of crude Moisture, 0.7％ of crude fat, 6.8％ of crude protein, 6.1％ of crude ash, and 20.8％ of crude fiber. The major minerals were K (1637.2 mg％), Ca (219.5 mg％), P (182.1 mg％), and Mg (135.1 mg％). Most of the fractions of methanol extract which leaves of Rosa dauvrica Pall. have strong absorbency at UVB region (308 nm) and UV A region (350nm). These fractions have a good absorbency property as synthetic filter and could be served as substitutes for synthetic UV sunscreen agents. All fractions (n-hexane, ethyl-acetate, n-butanol and water) from methanol extracts except chloroform fraction exhibited DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC$\_$50/ of 35.3, 6.0, 14.0, and 18.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

The objective of this study was to verify the stability of nutrient composition by using herbal medicine by-products as an alternative food source and to examine the growth effect on Protaeria brevitarsis seulensis larvae. As a result of comparing the nutritional components of food source, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash content, except crude fiber content, was high in both non-fermented and fermented medicinal herbal by-products. Especially, crude protein content was highest. Cadmium, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals were not detected and thus stability as alternative food was confirmed. The growth comparison based on the feeding sources showed no significant difference between the fermented oak sawdust fed control group and the herbal medicine by-products fed laboratory group from week 1 to week 3. The weight of a 4 week larva was 0.137 g in the control group and 0.671 g in the laboratory group and so began to reveal differences at a significant level (p<0.05). As a result of comparing weights of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae according to the level of herbal medicine by-product addition, HMB40 recorded the heaviest weight in week 7. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in each body weights of HMB40 and HMB80 at week 5 (p<0.05). These results indicate that if the shipping date of an edible insect is a third instar larva, it arrives at the time of shipment at week 5. Thus feeding HMB40 and HMB80 at the 5th week is the most effective.

The aim of this experiment was to determine the chemical composition of six commonly utilized fodder trees and shrub species in Turkey, namely Glycrrhiza glabra L, Arbutus andrachne, Carpinus betilus, Juniperus communis, Quercus libari L and Pistica lentiscus and its relationship with gas production and estimated parameters when incubated with rumen fluid in vitro. There were significant (p<0.001) differences between leaves in terms of crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), total condensed tannin (TCT), bound condensed tannin (BCT) and soluble condensed tannin (SCT). Crude protein contents ranged from 5.74% (Juniperus communis) to 12.59% (Glycrrhiza glabra L). Acid detergent fiber contents ranged from 25.14% (Glycrrhiza glabra L) to 39.23% (Juniperus communis). Total condensed tannin (TCT) contents of leaves ranged from 4.34% (Quercus libari L) to 20.34% (Juniperus communis). Acid detergent fiber (ADF) and total condensed tannin contents of leaves were negatively correlated with gas productions and some estimated parameters. Potential gas productions (A) of Glycrrhiza glabra L, Arbutus andrachne, Quercus libari L and Pistica lentiscus were significantly (p<0.001) higher than those of Carpinus betilus and Juniperus communis whereas gas production rate (${\mu}_{24}$) of Pistica lentiscus was significantly (p<0.001) higher than the others. Time (h) to produce 50% of total gas pool size ($T_{50}$) of Juniperus communis was significantly (p<0.001) lower than that of Carpinus betilus whereas time (h) to produce 90% of total gas pool size ($T_{90}$) of Juniperus communis was significantly lower than the others except for Pistica lentiscus. The metabolizable energy (ME) contents of leaves ranged from 8.86 to 10.39 MJ $kg^{-1}$ DM. The results obtained in this study suggested that browse species had a significant effect on chemical composition, gas production and estimated parameters of leaves. Leaves from Glycrrhiza glabra L with a considerable amount of CP had a high rank value in terms of ME. Therefore leaves from Glycrrhiza glabra L may have a high potential value for small ruminant animals in terms of rumen and whole digestibility. Leaves from other species studied require protein supplementation when they are the only feed consumed by ruminant animals.

The contents of carbohydrate, crude protein, crude lipid and ash are 67.76%, 19.87%, 4.61% and 7.76%. And the calories of Flos Sophora japonica Linne was 318.32 Kcal. Total dietary fiber was 25.35% of total carbohydrates. The percentages of water soluble dietary fiber to insoluble dietary fiber were 1.80 % and 23.56 %, respectively. The protein were contained total 18 different kinds of amino acids. The contents of non-essential and essential amino acids were 4,898.78mg and 5,953.51mg. The K was the largest mineral followed by Ca, P and Mg, which means Flos Sophora japonica Linne is alkali material. The contents of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids were 29.69%, 34.93% and 35.38%. Therefore, the amount of the total unsaturated fatty acid was higher than that of any other plant. The content of vitamin C in Flos Sophora japonica Linne was higher than that of any other plant, which suggest that it could increase blood elasticity. The content of rutin, which is responsible for capillary vessel permeability, was 22.60%. The contents of water soluble antioxidative materials in 1 mL of water-extracted Flos Sophora japonica Linne were 3.9 ${\mu}$g which is comparable to 1233.0 mmol of vitamin C in antioxidant effect. The general nutrients and other antioxidatant bioactive materials in Flos Sophora japonica Linne were also potential materials for good health food. It is expected that follow up study of Flos Sophora japonica Linne through developing processed food and evaluation of their functional properties would provide useful information as a source of medicinal foods.

This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of dietary fibers on serum and liver lipids of cholesterol-fed rats. Forty-two male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighed $145{\pm}10\;g$ were divided into 6 groups, each group receiving a different diet for 6 weeks, i.e., basal diet, basal diet plus 0.5% cholesterol without fiber, basal diet plus 0.5% cholesterol and 5% pectin, basal diet plus 0.5% cholesterol and 5% agar, basal diet plus 0.5% cholesterol and 5% pectin plus tannic acid mixture and basal diet plus 0.5% cholesterol and 5% tannic acid. The lowest net weight gain and digestibility were found in 5% tannic acid-containing group. The weight of kidney, heart and lung was significant by different, however, those of liver and spleen was not significantly different among the groups tested. GOT and GPT of serum were significantly higher in 0.5% cholesterol-containing group without fiber, whereas those of 5% pectin-containing group were significantly lower. Highest total serum protein content was found in 0.5% cholesterol-containing group without fiber. However, albumin and A/G ratio were not significant. The content of total lipid and cholesterol in serum were not significant by different among the groups studied, whereas crude lipid contents of liver in 5% tannic acid and pectin plus tannic acid-containing groups were significantly lower. Cholesterol content in the liver was significantly lower in 5% tannic acid-containing group. Crude lipid and sterol content of feces were significantly higher in 5% pectin-containing group.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of using Kalopanax pictus leaf as natural health food source. The contents of proximate and antioxidative nutrients of Kalopanax pictus leaf were measured. The contents of carbohydrate, crude protein, crude lipid and ash were 41.42%, 45.23%, 3.29% and 10.07%, respectively. The calories of Kalopanax pictus leaf was 401.52 kcal/100 g and total dietary fiber was 30.37%. The percentages of water soluble dietary fiber to insoluble dietary fiber were 9.16% and 21.21%, respectively. The protein contained a total of 18 different kinds of amino acids. The contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were 10.51 g/100 g and 17.69 g/100 g. The K was the largest mineral followed by P, Ca, and Mg, which means Kalopanax pictus leaf is alkali material. The contents of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids were 1.56 g/100 g, 0.11 g/100 g and 1.84 g/100 g, respectively. The antioxidant activity of 70% ethanol extract and fractions of the Kalopanax pictus leaf has been determined by the scavenging of the stable radical DPPH; the result showed that the ethyl acetate fraction was the most active, as the amount required for 50% reduction of DPPH after 30 mins ($RC_{50}$) was $105.7\;{\mu}g$, followed by 70% ethanol extract ($247.3\;{\mu}g$), hexane fraction ($120.7\;{\mu}g$), chloroform ($107.3\;{\mu}g$), butanol fraction ($110.1\;{\mu}g$) and aqueous fraction ($491.9\;{\mu}g$).
