The whole body of three species of fishes, raw anchovy (Engraulis japonica), big eyed herring (Harengula zunasi), and northern sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) catched at the south adjacent coast of Korea, were analyzed for extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, combined amino acids, ATP and its related compounds quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds using specimens collected in May and July 1991, and the composition of these nitrogenous components were compared with each other. The contents of extractive nitrogen in anchovy, big eyed herring, and northern sand lance were 633 mg, 601 mg, and 455 mg/100 g, respectively. Thirty-one or thirty-two kinds of free amino acids were found in the extracts of the three species of fishes. Histidine, taurine, alanine, leucine, carnosine, glutamic acid, and lysine were the major free amino acids in every sample. The composition of the major extractive components such as free amino acids, combined amino acids, ATP and its related compounds, TMAO, and creatine in the extracts were similar to each other, but their contents were some different individually.

In order to investigate the food quality of Korean chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) the composition of extractive nitrogenous components including the free amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, guanidino compounds, and quaternary ammonium bases were analyzed. The extractive nitrogen from the muscle ranged from 478 to 649 mg/100 g with little discrepancies by sex, sampling seasons and areas. The large amount of anserine was noted with fairly low level of taurine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid and lysine in each extract. After Hydrolysis of the entracts remarkable increases were found in $\pi-methylhistidine,\;\beta-alanine$ from anserine and carnosine. The sum of nucleotides and related compounds of the muscle was $3.32\~9.22\;{\mu}mol/g$, and predominant compound was the inosine 5'-monophosphate. The lower glycinebetaine, $\beta-alaninebetaine$ and homarine were also found in some samples. The trimethylamine oxide content of the muscle was ranged from 107 to 148 mg, and the trimethylamine content was no move than 11 mg in all the collections. The concentrations of creatine in the muscle extracts ranged from 477 to 642 mg, and $8\~11mg$ for creatinine, respectively. The total nitrogens of the compounds analyzed for each samples accounted for more than $90\%$ of the extractive nitrogen in this study.

The extracts of toha, a kind of freshwater shrimp (Caridina denticulata denticulata) being cultivated in Naju district, Chonnam of Korea and jeotsaeu, a kind of seawater shrimp (Acetes japonicus) being caught in Shinan district, Chonnam of Korea, were analyzed for the taste constituents-extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds-using specimens collected from December in 1994 to November in 1995. The content of extractive nitrogen. free amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds in toha extract was higher than that in jeotsaeu extract. On the contrary, the amount of homarine, trimethylamine oxide and trimethlamine in toha extract was lower than that in jeotsaeu extract. But in case of creatine and creatine both species showed almost the same level. Arginine, lysine, glutamine, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, leucine, alanine, asparagine and glycine were the major amino acids in toha extract, while arginine, glutamic acid, proline, glutamine, lysine, leucine, glycine, alanine and taurine were the major amino acids in jeotsaeu extract. Methionine, glutamine, valine were almost the same level between the two species. As for nucleotides and related compound, AMP was the principal constituent in toha extract, and inosine was the principal constituent in jeotsaeu extract. In conclusion, the content of major nitrogenous constituents in toha extract was more abundant than that in jeotsaeu extract. So toha was more excellent raw material than jeotsaeu.

The nitrogenous compounds in the muscle extracts of cultured and wild olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceous, were analyzed. The analyzed coumpounds were extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, ATP and its related ompounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds. The distribution pattern of these compounds in cultured and wild fish was found to be very similar. Although the ATP and its related compounds and creatine in the muscle of cultured fish were slightly abundant than those in the muscle of wild one, the extractive nitrogen, total free amino acid, oligopeptides, and TMAO were found to be slightly rich in the muscle of wild fish than those in the muscle of cultrued one. The moisture content of cultured fish was relatively lower but the protein and fat contents of cultured one were higher than those of wild fish. However the differences in the proximate composition, extractive nitrogen and nitrogenous compounds between two fishes were not significantly different.

Sulfur content of diesel fuel has been cut down to under 10 ppm ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) level by environmental regulation with the aim of reducing exhaust emissions. This review discusses the methods and principles of sulfur reduction in diesel and presents an overview of new approaches for ultra-deep desulfurization. The deep HDS (hydrodesulfurization) problems of diesel streams is exacerbated by the inhibiting effect of co-existing aromatics, nitrogen compounds and $H_2S$. The new approaches to deep desulfurization includes non-HDS type processing schemes such as adsorptive, extractive and oxidative desulfurization.
