  • Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the family Urticaceae. It was used in folk remedies for diuretic or anti-pyretic purposes and as an hepatoprotective, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammation agent. In this study, we investigated the composition of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol contents in parts of ramie (root, stem, and leaf) and different harvest areas (10 areas). Overall, free sugars were found as sucrose, glucose, fructose, and galactose at concentrations ranging from 24.5 to 1173.8 mg/g. Amino acids lysine, threonine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and histidine were detected at concentrations of 33.8 to 3735.3 mg/g. Major fatty acids were linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid at concentrations of 7.3 to 364.4 mg/g. In organic acids, the concentration of malic acid was highest of all with 672.2 mg/g. The content of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol was higher in leaves than in roots and stems. In contrast, the total polyphenol content was higher in roots with 33.7 - 219.4 mg/g than in leaves or in stems. As seen in collecting region, the contents of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol of Bn-33, 39, 55, 65, and 90 were higher than other samples. Chemical compositions of different parts of ramie are important factors to consider in manufacturing functional foods. The results of this study provide fundamental information on the chemical compositions of ramie parts and would help develop new functional foods from ramie leaves or the whole plant.

  • The amino acid composition of human and cow's milk represents a standard of reference in infantnutrition. The amino acid compositions determined by automatic amino acid analyzer, Yanagimote Model LC-5. Protein in the human and cow's milk were found to be hydrolyzed to yield free amino acids. Qualitative data for free amino acids in the milk are as follows: 1) Amounts of acidic amino acids such as glutamic and aspartic acid in cow's milk were obserbed to be about 2 times compared with human milk and it is considered that the abundance in these amino acids may contribute significantly to the specific flavor of cow's milk. 2) It is much interesting that in the human milk the contents of sulfur-containing amino acids were high comparatively better than cow's milk; cystine was found to be 3 times ana methionine, 2 times. 3) In the human milk a high content of some essential amino acids such as threonine, isoleucine and leucine was demonstrated and a specific flavor sweet amino acids. 4) Large amounts of basic amino acid such as histidine was found to occur in human milk and arginine in cow's milk.

  • The contents and the compositions of total free amino acids were investigated in the rice(Oryza sativa L. cv. Chuncheong) seedlings under low temperatures. Activities of some enzymes associated with the markedly changed amino acid content were also investigaetd. Under low temperature, the contents of soluble protein and the total free amino acids increased, while the content of total nitrogen decreased. Although asparagine+glycine were the most abundant amino acid speceis in the rice seedlings at the control temeprature, low temperature treatment for 3days brought about the decrease in their amount to about 60% level of the control plants. On the other hand, alanine showed the highest increase in the content among all the free amino acids, though glutamine, proline, asprtic acid, valine and tyrosine also increased after low temperature treatment. To eludicate the decrease of asparagine+glycine level under low temperature, the activities of asparagine aminotransferase and asparaginase which metabolize asparagine were investigated in the rice seedlings under low temperature. The activity of asparaginase increased markedly, while that of asparagine aminotransferase decreased under low temperatures. Therefore, it was suggested that asparaginase metabolizes asparagine predominatly in the rice seedlings under low temperatures.

  • This study was performed to investigate the changes of amino nitrogen, total amino acids, free amino acids, and cole. of traditional Korean soybean paste (doen-jang) during the ripening and storage for 12 months. All of the preparation methods for soybean paste followed the recommendations of the Korea Food Research Institute. The components of soybean paste were analyzed at 0, 6, and 12 months. The content of amino nitrogen of soybean paste was significantly higher than that of soybeans or meju (soybean cakes) at the initial stage of storage (p〈0.05), and decreased during the storage. The composition of total and free amino acids and their ratios of soybean paste were changed during the storage. The ratios of free to total amino acids of soybeans, meju, and soybean paste were 0.8%, 17.3%, and 20.4∼32.9%, respectively. Glutamic acid, which represents the savory taste, was detected the most abundantly in soybean paste during the storage. The ratios of free to total amino acids of glutamic acid were 21.1∼41.5% in soybean paste. Lightness, redness and yellowness of Hunter color of soybean paste decreased over time (p〈0.05). The results of this study indicate that the ratios of fee to total amino acids of soybean paste were much higher than those of soybeans, although its contents of total amino acids were much lower than those of soybeans. The results also indicate that this comes from the preparation and fermentation of meju. It was suspected that the organoleptic quality of soybean paste derived from these three components might be inferior over 1 year of storage time.

  • In order to investigate the composition of extractive nitrogenous components in the diploid and the triploid oysters, Crassostrea gigas, cultured at the south coast of Korea, the whole edible part (whole body) was analyzed into extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, ATP and its related compounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds using specimens collected from April to May of 1992. The major free amino acids in the diploid and the triploid were taurine, proline, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid hypotaurine, glutamine, arginine, aspartic acid, and $\beta-alanine$. There was no conspicuous difference in the constituents of free amino acids between the diploid and the triploid. A lot of hypotaurine was detected in the diploid and the triploid of oyster and the contents of them were 107 mg and 123 mg/100g, respectively. The compounds, glycinebetaine, homarine and trigonelline were found in both the diploid and the triploid. Among them, glycinebetaine was the most prominent in all the samples. The amount of protein, glycogen, extractive nitrogen, oligopeptides, ATP and its related compounds, and free amino acids in the triploid was higher than that of the diploid (p<0.10)

  • In this experiment, the contents of free amino acids, and nucleotides and their related compounds of dried cod products were analysed by amino acid autoanalyzer and HPLC. Proline, histidine, lysine and alanine were dominant amino acids in raw extracts, having $65.4\%$ of total free amino acid contents, but the contents of aspartic acid, serine, isoleucine and phenylalanine were low, and methionine, tyrosine and arginine were detected in trace amount. In free amino acid composition of dried products, abundant amino acids were glycine, histidine, lysine, proline and alanine. Such amino acid as aspartic acid, methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were poor. In extracts of storage sample, most free amino acids were increased in both sun dried products and hot air dried products, and glycine, histidine, lysine, proline and alanine were abundant amino acid, such amino acid as methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were poor. In raw cod, inosine and IMP were dominant contents which 18.5, $10.0{\mu}mole/g$ on dry base, respectively, but the contents of ATP, ADP, hypoxanthine and AMP were detected less than $3.2{\mu}mole/g$. ATP and ADP were decreased while IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine were increased during drying and storage of cod.

  • Two kinds of gangliosides contained in deer horns were determined by integrating the peaks of TLC densitometry. Japanese deer horn originated from China showed the highest gangliosides among tested samples and the upper parts in deer horns showed higher gangliosides than the lower parts. In the case of graded samples, the best grade A showed the highest content and the worst grade E did the lowest content. Sixteen kinds of free amino acids were analyzed by auto amino acid analyzer. The lower region the deer horn was, the more the total content of free amino acids was and several kinds of amino acids were contained quite regularly.
