This experiment was conducted on relatively acid sandy loam soil at Choong-ju campus, Kon-kuk University aimed at clarifying the influence of urea and ammonium nitrate on the effect of potassium to Chinese cabbage in soils either limed or unlimed with calcium silicate. The results are summarized as follows: a. Calcium silicate application enhanced cabbage growth and under this condition, the difference in effect of urea and ammonium nitrate can hardly be observed. b. Without calcium silicate application, the response of Chinese cabbage to ammonium nitrate was more distinctive than that to urea. This was partially attributable to the greater use of soil born potassium at ammonium nitrate treatment. c. Added potassium was not only affective in increasing cabbage yield but also contributed in improving quality of cabbage by producing greater edible portion of the cabbage. Such K effect was particularly pronounced on the acid soil where calcium silicate application was neglected. d. Potassium was easily translocated from outer leaves to inner leaves and thus, the concentration of K content in outer leaves played as a limiting factor of cabbage yield. Less than 20 me/100gr of K content in harvested dried outer leaves resulted in a linear reduction of cabbage yield.

This study was conducted to identify the food components and nutrition value of major fish roes on the market in Korea. The proximate compositions of the roes were 60.02-82.85% moisture, 14.61-29.21% protein, 1.24-14.59% lipid and 0.88-1.78% ash. The major total amino acids in the roes were glutamic acid, leucine, aspartic acid, lysine, and alanine. The major fatty acids were 22:6n-3 (docosahexenoic acid, 9.37-32.68%), 16:0 (5.96-21.39%), 18:1n-9 (12.64-25.30%), and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, 3.79-16.99%). The mean major-mineral levels were phosphorus (291.63 mg/100 g edible portion), potassium (271.00 mg), sodium (175.86 mg), calcium (24.02 mg), and magnesium (22.15 mg). The mean trace-mineral levels were zinc (7.75 mg), iron (3.68 mg), and copper (0.81 mg). The results suggest that these fish roes are good sources of proteins, amino acids, n-3 fatty acids and minerals.

The proximate composition and mineral contents of 18 subtropical fish species caught off the coast of Jeju Island, Korea were determined. The mean moisture content was highest (78.0%) in the eight species of lean fish, lowest (72.6%) in the four species of medium-fat fish, and intermediate (75.4%) in the six species of low-fat fish. The lipid content was in the order of medium-fat fish > low-fat fish > lean fish. The protein content ranged from 17.7% to 18.9%. The mean macro-mineral contents in the 18 species were 290.2 mg/100 g edible portion K, 146.6 mg P, 113.5 mg Na, 67.2 mg Ca and 38.3 mg Mg. The mean value of micro-mineral contents were 2.1 mg Fe, 1.7 mg Cu and 1.5 mg Zn. These results suggest that subtropical fish from Jeju Island are good sources of protein, lipid and minerals.

For the use of antarctic krill as a fond protein source its compositional characteristics were investigated as the first part of the work includes other subjects such as processing of drill paste, concentrates, and fermented or seasoned product. In general composition of fresh frozen and preboiled frozen krill on board, the contents of crude fat and free amino nitrogen were higher in the former than in the latter which contained a high amount of ash. VBN was rather high as much as 37.6 and $26.4\;mg\%$ in both fresh frozen and preboiled krill. The pH of drill homogenates was 7.1 to 7.2 in both cases. Such a low pH might be attributed to a long term storage and temperature fluctuations during frequent transshipping. The amino acid competition of fresh frozen krill meat showed relatively high amount of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, proline, and leucine while methionine, histidine, serine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine were lower. Among the essential amino acids lysine and leucine were higher and methionine was lower. In tile composition of free amino acid proline, lysing, arginine, and alanine were higher comparatively to the contents of histidine, aspartic acid, serine, and threonine. It is noteworthy for nutritional qualification that tile essential amino acids particularly as lysine were abundant similarly to that of fishes. Heavy metal contents of krill meat 0.039 to 0.048 ppm as Hg, 0.06 to 0.11 ppm as Pb, less than 0.32 ppm as Zn, 0.008 to 0.012 ppm as Cd, 0.61 to 0.68 ppm as Fe, 0.87 to 1.37 ppm as Cu, and nondetective as Cr. A high Cu content seems to be resulted by tile blood pigment of crustacea. The ratio,1 of edible portion to non-edible portion were 37:63 in fresh frozen and 42:58 in preboiled frozen krill respectively. Release of drip after thawing was more in fresh frozen than in preboiled frozen drill marking $36\%$ and $24\%$ of both respectively.

This study investigated the characteristics of Korean Native Fowl (KW) to standarize the feeding regime and compared with those of broiler. The characteristics of KNF studied were meat productivities and carcass traits. The data were collected for 14 weeks from March to June, 1992, by recording from 200 birds(50 birds per each sex and 2 breed) were as follows ： 1. Average body weight at 14 weeks of age of Korean Native Fowl(KW) and broiler were 868.7g and 3,526.6g, respectively and were 26.6 times and 72.9 times of day old chicks weight averages, respectively. 2. The carcass yields during 9∼14 wks were 74.1∼78.5％ for KNF male, 73.g∼77.5％ for KW female, 72.2∼76.9％ for broiler male and 71.7∼76.4％ for female. It was shown that carcass yields of KNF was 2％ higher than that of broiler. 3. In edible portion, the yields of wings weight to carcass weight were 11.5∼12.4％ for KNF male, 11.5∼13.1％ for KNF female, 10.7∼11.9％ for broiler male and 10.7∼12.2％ for broiler female, it was shown that wings weight of KW was higher than that of broiler and wings weight of KNF during 9∼14 wks. 4. The portions of back and breast weight were higher than those of KNF during 9∼14 wks. The back portions in carcass weight were 15.4∼17.0％ for KW male 15.4∼16.8％ for KNF female, 17.2∼19.0％ for broiler male, and 17.2∼19.0％ for broiler female. The breast portions in carcass weight were 19.6∼22.0％ for KNF male, 20.2∼22.7％ for KNF female 23.S∼24.5％ for broiler male, and 25.1∼27.7％ for broiler female. 5. The portion of thigh and drumsticks weight in carcass weight of KNF was similar to that of broiler. They were 26.8∼28.0％ for KNF male, 25.5∼27.1％ for KNF female, 27.7％ for broiler male, and 26.9％ for broiler female, respectively. 6. For the weight of inedible portion during 9∼14 wks, feather weight of KNF was 5.3∼6.8％ of live weight and 3.8 ∼4.4％ in those of broiler. This result indicated that KNF has more rooms for improvement than broiler. 7. Abdominal fat weight was 2.42∼3.88g for KNF male and 1.84∼3.08g for KNF female, which was 0.5％ of carcass weight. But broiler has more abdominal fat than KNF as 39.4∼56.3 g for male, 33.3∼67.8 g for female which was 2.5 ∼3.0％ of carcass weight.

The Pacific saury, Cololabis saira Kwamaegi, is a traditional local food of the Eastern sea area, centered around Pohang. It is well-recognized as being both tasty and nutritious. Nevertheless, bacterial contamination, excessive dryness, and compositional changes render this fish edible only during the winter months. Thus, to improve its storage capabilities, this study assessed the effects of storage material, type, temperature, and duration on compositional changes in Kwamaegi. The assessed samples were Kwamaegi which had been naturally dried for 15 days. The storage materials included an A-film, a self- developed multi-film made of polyethylene, polyamide, EVOH, and polyethylene, and a B-film made of polyethylene, nylon, polyethylene, nylon, and polyethylene. The B films were utilized after pressing and lamination. The storage types included one whole fish(1G), or 2 divided fish(2G), to increase eating convenience. The 2G type was the muscle portion divided vertically after discarding the jowl, skin, and internal organs. The storage temperatures were 0, -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$, and the storage durations were 2, 4, and 6 months. Among the lipid rancidities, acid value and peroxide value showed the highest level of initial rancidity at a storage temperature of $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months. We noted no significant differences between storage materials. The lower the storage temperatures, the less acid and peroxide were generated. Between the storage types, 1G evidenced lower less acid values than 2G. The TBA values revealed a dramatic increase at a storage temperature of $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months, whereas this rapid progress was not observed at storage temperatures of -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$. Along with the acid value and peroxide value, the samples stored at 0, -15 and $-30^{\circ}C$ evidenced significantly lower TBA values. The B-film evidenced a slightly lower TBA value than was observed in the A-film, but no significant differences were observed.

This study was carried out to analyze the change of major nutrient components of spaghetti squash by boiling. The moisture, crude protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate contents in fresh squash were 94.2%, 0.6%, 0.1%, 0.7% and 4.4% respectively as against 95.1%, 0.5%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 3.8% in boiled squash. The decrease in protein and ash contents of the boiled sample were found to be significant. Major component of the minerals were potassium and the fresh and boiled squash had the contents of 330 mg and 256 mg, respectively. There were no differences of dietary fiber between the fresh and boiled squash. Beta-carotene contents of the fresh and boiled spaghetti squash were $0.69{\mu}g$ and $2.22{\mu}g$, respectively. The contents of tocopherol were decreased as like 4.3 mg and 2.0 mg. A total of 17 kinds of amino acids were isolated from squash and they were decreased by boiling and the high content of amino acids in order were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine, lysine, and leucine in raw squash. Particularly, total amino acid of fresh squash were 6,739.5 mg per 100 g edible portion and higher than that of boiled squash(4,820.3 mg). Total polyphenolic compound of the fresh squash from $297.3{\mu}g/mg$ was slightly decreased to $253.3{\mu}g/mg$ by boiling.

Free and bound lipids of both inner and outer part in the edible portion of 3 varieties of chestnuts(Castanea crenata) were extracted and fractionated into neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid, by silicic acid column chromatography. Fatty acid composition of each fraction was examined with gas chromatography. Lipid contents in chestnut on dry weight basis were 1.84% in inner part(1.26%-free lipid and 0. 58% bound lipid) and 1.95% in outer part (1.63%-free lipid and 0.32%-bound lipid). Free lipid content was $2{\sim}5$ times higher than bound lipid content and was more abundant in the outer part. Neutral lipid content of the free lipid in the inner part was 39.5%, approximately 10 times as much as that of the bound lipid, but in the outer part, the former was 56.6%. Glycolipid content was 22. 0% in the free lipid and 17.0% in the bound lipid. Phospholipid content was 6.9% in the free lipid and 10.5% in the bound lipid. The predominant fatty acids were linoleic acid, palmitic acid and linolenic acid in the free lipid, and palmitic acid, linoleic arid and linolenic acid in the bound lipid, Therefore, saturated fatty acid content in the bound lipid was 2 times higher than in the free lipid.

In this study, to provide basic information for design of a large-scale recycling system for fishery by-products, the food nutrient components, fertilizer components, and microbial composition of fertilizers and feed which were made of fishery by-products were analyzed before and after fermentation. The results of the analysis of the edible portion of fishery by-products indicated that calories per 100 g of crustaceans were the highest followed by those of fish and brown algae in order of precedence with values as follows; Korean Krill 94 Kcal, Portunus trituberculatus 65 Kcal, Lophiomus setigerus 58 Kcal, and Undaria pinnatifida 16 Kcal. As for changes in amino acids per 100 g of fishery by-products between before and after fermentation, calories per 100 g of P. trituberculatus decreased by 74.7% from 15.7 g to 4.0 g, that of L. setigerus decreased by 61.1% from 11.9 g to 4.6 g, that of Korean Krill decreased by 53.5% from 11.6 g to 5.4 g, and that of U. pinnatifida decreased by 49.4% from 1.7 g to 0.9 g. Among amino acids, those contained in fishery by-product fertilizers (liquid fertilizer) in large amounts were shown to be Glutaminic acid, Aspartic acid, Glycine, Lysin, and Leucine. The lipid content of Korean Krill decreased by 11.9% from 3.2 g to 2.8 g, that of L. setigerus increased by 2.0 times from 1.1 g to 2.2 g, that of P. trituberculatus increased by 4.5 times from 0.4 g to 1.7 g, and that of U. pinnatifida increased by 9.4 times from 0.2 g to 1.9 g. The ash (mineral) content of P. trituberculatus decreased by 82.5% from 26.2 g to 4.6 g, that of U. pinnatifida increased by 27.6% from 3.3 g to 4.2 g, that of Korean Krill increased by 21.9% from 3.1 g to 3.8 g, and that of L. setigerus increased by 88.7% from 1.2 g to 2.2 g. The microbial composition of liquid fertilizer using recycled fishery by-products was shown to be Bacteria, Actinomycetes, Fungi, Yeast, and Lactobacillus sp.

The proximate and fatty acid compositions of the edible portion of three species of cultured freshwater fish (common eel Anguilla japonica, rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss, and Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio) were compared between imports from China and domestically produced specimens. The lipid contents of cultured common eel and rainbow trout were rich in imported fishes (20.4 and 12.2%, respectively) compared with those in domestic ones (16.0 and 8.01%, respectively), while those of Israeli carp were rich only in the domestically produced specimens (8.06 and 3.07%, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the lipid and moisture contents in all fish samples (r =-0.86). The protein contents ranged from 16.6 to 21.3% in domestic fishes and 15.3 to 19.1% in imported ones. The most prominent fatty acids in the fishes were: saturated fatty acids, 16:0, 18:0 and 14:0; monounsaturated fatty acids, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-7; and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). The percentage of n-3 PUFA (e.g., DHA, 22:5n-3, EPA, and 18:3n-3) was higher in domestic common eel and Israeli carp than in imported ones, but similar in domestic and imported rainbow trout, and higher in domestic wild rainbow trout than in cultured ones. On the other hand, all of the cultured freshwater fishes contained a relatively large amount of 18:2n-6, which is a characteristic fatty acid in cultured fish lipids.
