The objective of this research was to characterize fucoidans isolated from Laminaria religiosa and Undaria pinnatifida in Korea to obtain basic data for Production of soluble dietary fiber materials with biological functionality. Fucoidans were successively extracted 3 times at $65\%$ for 1hr with arid solution of pH 2.0, and cetylpyridinium chloride was used for partial purification. The yields of partially purified fucoidans were $2.71\%$ for L. religiosa, $6.65\%$ for sporophylls of U. pinnatifida and $0.40\%$ for blade of U. pinnatifida. The yield from sporophylls of U. pinnatifida was highest among the sample tested, whereas the yield from blade of U. pinnatifida was lowest. It appeared that the fuconidans content in different parts of U. pinnatifida varied. Partially purified fucoidans were separated into 3 fractions by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 ion exchange column and the maior fractions were refractionated with tractional precipitation with ethanol. $60-70\%$ ethanol precipitated fractions of 1. religiosa and sporophylls of U. pinnatifida turned out to be homogeneous by cellulose acetate electrophoresis and gel filteration chromatography. The molar ratios of fucose, galactose, and sulfate in the purified fucoidans(ethanol precipitated fractions) were 1 : 0.31 : 2.43 for L. religiosa and 1 : 0.97 : 1.99 for sporophylls of U. pinnatifida. The averaged molecular weights of the purified fucoidans from L. religiosa and sporophylls of U. pinnatifida were 31,000 and 38,000, respectively.

In order to study the effects of probiotic and antibiotic on the performance of the chickens and the population of microfloras in the intestine, a feeding trial was conducted for a period of seven weeks. One hundred eighty hatched male chickens of layer attain were fed one of the following three experimental diets; nonmedicated control, antibiotic supplemented diet(virginiamycin 5 ppm) and probiotic supplemented diet. Birds fed probiotic supplemented diets were heavier and consumed more feed than those fed other diets but the differences were not statistically significant. Antibiotic supplemented group showed significantly (P〈0.01) better feed efficiency than other groups. Availabilities of dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, NFE, Ca and P were not significantly different between treatments but antibiotic supplemented group showed significantly(P〈0.05) lower availability of crude fiber than other groups. The weight of small intestine of the birds fed antibiotic supplemented diet was significantly (P〈0.05) lighter than those of other groups. The population of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacilli in the intestinal content of the birds fed probiotic supplemented diet were significantly (P〈0.01) larger than those of other groups. On the other hand, the population of Coliforms in the probiotic group were significantly (P〈0.01) smaller than those in the nonmedicated control group.

This study was conducted to use fundamental data about functional foods based on pigmented rice varieties-2 types of normal rice, 6 types of black rice-to analyze changes in chemical component activity during germination. The results are summarized as follows: Germination rates of the pigmented rice varieties were the highest at $30^{\circ}C$. There was a tendency for crude protein contents to increase under the influence of germination periods, and the crude protein contents were the highest on the $6^{th}$ day. Crude fat contents were the highest on days 6-8. Nevertheless, the crude fat contents in pigmented rice decreased during the first 2 days, and subsequently, the contents increased steadily. Crude fiber contents were the highest on the $8^{th}$ day. However, there was no meaningful tendency. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose contents in the pigmented rice increased during germination. In normal rice, glucose content increased up to the $8^{th}$ day. It was higher than that of brown rice. However, sucrose and fructose contents showed no meaningful tendency. There was a general tendency for GABA, alanine, glutamic acid, asparagine, aspartic acid, and lysine contents in the pigmented rice to increase under the influence of germination periods. Aspartic acid and asparagine contents were shown to decrease, compared with that in pre-germinated normal rice. In all varieties, lysine was detected from the second germination day onwards, and on the $6^{th}$ day after germination, its contents were 6.24 mg/100 g and 15.58 mg/100 g in normal rice and pigmented rice, respectively.

This experiment was carried out to find out the dormancy physiology, method of softening culture and evaluation of nutritional value of wild garlic, Ulrung-native Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum. In March, a new bulbs, the shoot and bulbs began to develop until the bulbs showed their complete dormant states in late August. The bulbs renewed to another one in every years. When shoots germinated about $1{\sim}2\;cm$ from mother bulbs, the soft tissues in the mother bublbs was degenerated and finally remained as only fiberous tissues unlike the other bulbaceous plants. There was a high inhibiting activities like ABA in the bulbs. This is believed that this inhibiting substance like ABA in the bulbs is related to the dormancy of wild garlic. Although the immatured bulbs, harvested at May and June, was treated with chilling for 90 days, it didn't germinate their shooting, but the matured bulbs, harvested at July and August, could germinate their shooting over 1 cm in 75 and 60 days chilling treatment, respectively. The shoot elongation was promoted by the longer chilling periods, the later harvesting day and the dark condition. The crude fiber content of leaf and stem increased at more expanded leaf and higher light intensity condition. Since the shoots, grown from germinating to leaf expanding time, had a good quality for food stuff and had less crude fibers, we supposed this period is to be most appropriate for harvesting time.

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate agronomic characteristics, forage quality and dry matter yield of Korean native wild hairy vetch(Vicia villosa Roth) and introduced vetch(Vicia) cultivars from Australia. Seeds were sown on 29 August 1998 and 29 September 1999 at the Livestock Experiment Farm, Keimyung College, Kyeongsan, Kyeongbuk. Vetch plants were harvested on 14 November 1998 and 5 May 1999 and 29 April 2000. 'Haymaker plus' and 'Cappelo woolly pod' (Vicia villosa ssp. dasycarpa(Ten.) Eav.) were higher than 'Namoi' (Vicia villosa ssp. dasycarpa(Ten.) Eav.) in winter survival and 'Popany' (Vicia benghalensis L.) and 'Victa' (Vicia sativa L.) did not overwinter from 1998 to 1999. 'Haymaker plus', 'Cappelo woolly pod', 'Namoi', Korean native wild hairy vetch and Chinese milk vetch were overwintered from 1999 to 2000, except 'Aneto common' (Vicia sativa L.). Fifty percent flowering was observed 23 April for 'Namoi', 24 April for 'Cappelo woolly pod' and 26 April for 'Haymaker plus' from 1998 to 1999. In 1999~2000, fifty percent flowering was observed 12 April for 'Namoi' and 'Cappelo woolly pod', 14 April for 'Haymaker plus', 23 April for Chinese milk, 30 April for 'Aneto common' and Korean native wild hairy vetch. Dry matter yield per hectare was significantly higher(p<0.05) for 'Haymaker plus', 'Cappelo' and 'Namoi' than 'Popany' and 'Vicata' from 1998 to 1999. In 1999-2000, dry matter yield per hectare was higher(p<0.05) for 'Namoi', 'Haymaker plus', 'Cappelo woolly pod' and Korean native wild hairy vetch than Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.) and 'Aneto common'. CP content was relatively high, but Chinese milk vetch and 'Aneto common' were lower than other cultivars. ADF(acid deterguent fiber) was low in Chinese milk vetch, but between the other cultivars were similar. According to the results obtained from this study, it is suggested that 'Haymaker plus' would be recommendable for fall sown vetch for dry matter production.

Barley has nutritional benefits due to its high dietary fiber content; therefore, the intake of whole barley grains is recommended. However, barley is often consumed in the fermented form because of the improved texture and digestibility. The present study was designed to elucidate the intracellular signaling pathway for macrophage activation by the polysaccharide BF-CP from fermented barley. BF-CP is a neutral polysaccharide, composed of neutral sugars, including glucose (70.7%), xylose (11.4%), and arabinose (9.0%). BF-CP exhibited macrophage-stimulatory activity by inducing the production of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$, and nitric oxide in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Further, BF-CP treatment strongly increased the IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ gene expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Signal transduction experiments using immunoblotting showed that BF-CP phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such as c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38, and nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$, in RAW 264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that BF-CP activates the macrophages via MAPK and $NF-{\kappa}B$ pathways, and also induces an increase in the production of cytokines.

In this study, the characteristics of various raw hairs used for traditional Korean brushes were examined; further, the characteristics and deterioration patterns of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese brushes were compared, with a quantitative evaluation to assess the brush performance. The tensile strength was generally found to be higher with a greater fiber thickness. Among the hairs examined, the back and flank hair of goat was more damaged than that in other parts, and the tensile strength was low. Higher elasticity of the brush made with hair of high cysteine content was measured. Owing to deterioration by use of the brushes, artificial drying brushes had a higher yellowness index and lower tensile strength than natural drying brushes. Further, it was confirmed that brushes with good absorbency exhibited good consistency, but not good elasticity. Thus, the performance of the brush can be influenced by the kind of material used and the brush usage pattern. In addition, it is possible to identify the material science characteristics of brushes which have been produced only by experience; therefore, the results of this study could provide basic data for manufacturing brushes employed in conservation treatment, in the future.

To investigate the delignification behaviour in solvolysis pulping process, Populus alba ${\times}$ glandulosa H. and Pinus Kuraiensis S. et Z. were cooked with p-cresol and vater solvent(2:8, 5:5, 8:2 v/v) at $175^{\circ}C$ for 9 cooking time levels(20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, min). Pulp yield, residual lignin content, de lignification rate, decarborhydration rate were determined. Delignification behaviours were analyzed by TEM. 1. The p-cresol-water solvent cooking of P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa showed good delignification at the solvent system which the mixture ratio of p-cresol and water were 2:8(v/v), while the cooking of P. koraiensis with the p-cresol and water mixture ratio of 5:5 was no good. 2. P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa showed three step-delignification phenomena at the solvent system which the mixture ratio of p-cresol and water were 2:8(v/v) anti 5:5(v/v). But P. koraiensis showed a first order delignification reaction at the same mixture ratio of p-cresol and water solvent system. 3. In TEM micrograph obtained for the solvent system which the mixture ratio of p-cresol and water was 5:5(v/v), the partial delignification of the cell corner of P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa and P. koraiensis were observed at 60min. of cooking time. Complete delignification at the cell corner of P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa was observed at 160min. and that of P. koraiensis was observed of 180min. of cooking time. 4. In optical microscopic observation, fiber separation of P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa occured at 120min. and that of P. koraiensis began at 140min. of cooking time. 5. At the solvent system which the mixture ratio of p-cresol and water was 5:5(v/v), middle layer on secondary wall($S_2$) and cell corner of P. alba ${\times}$ glandulosa were more selectively delignified than primary wall(P) and outer layer on secondary wall($S_1$). However P. koraiensis did not showed any difference in delignification between cell wall layers and cell corner.
