The processing conditions and quality of sardine surimi were examined: Raw sardine meat was separated, washed in 0.2% $NaHCO_3$ and 0.15% NaCl solution, and then dewatered by centrifuge. The dewatered sardine meat was chopped, mixed with 20% emulsion curd (soybean protein : water : refined sardine oil=1:5:2.6), 4% sorbitol, 4% sucrose, 0.2% polyphosphate and 0.1% sodium erythorbate by stone mortar. The mixed sardine meat was frozen with contact freezer, packed in carton box and then stored at $-25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The moisture, crude protein and lipid contents of the sardine surimi product was 73.3%, 15.0% and 6.9%, respectively. Fatty acid composition of product consisted of 28.8% of saturates, 24.3% of monoenes and 47.7% of polyenes and the major fatty acids were 16:0, 20:5, 18:1, 22:6 and 16:1. The results of changes in POV, TBA value, fatty acids, texture and sensory score of products during frozen storage showed that lipid oxidation and freeze denaturation of product could be retarded, and flavor enhanced by addition 20% emulsion curd and 0.1% sodium erythorbate. In an attempt to apply sardine surimi in producing surimi-based product, it was concluded that pollack surimi could be substituted with sardine surimi up to 40% without showing any significant changes in texture and taste of surimi-based product.

In order to utilize Kumquats as a processed products, a Citrus varieties produced in Cheju island, physicochemical properties of Kumquats, sensory evaluation of frozen Kumquats, sensory evaluation and texture parameter of Kumquats processed foods were investigated. Fruit size, weight, peel ratio, peel thickness, and Brix/acid ratio of Youngpa Kumquats cultivated in green house were 29.5 mm, 16.10g, 4.63 mm and 20.0 respectively, and it was suitable for as raw-eating and processing materials. Kumquats juice consisted of 58.27% citric acid, 32.49% malic acid, 9.14% tartaric acid and 0.08% maleic acid of total organic acids. Organic acid contents of Kumquats juice was very different from Citrus unshiu juice in malic acid content. Sensory evaluation on frozen Kumquats stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 6 month was good for appearance, taste and texture as summer commodity. Vitamin C content of frozen Kumquats was 74.94 mg/100g, and its content was decreased slightly during fronzen storage. Hardness on Kumquats jam was lowered from 1,294 to 355 g-force as the ratio of Kumquats juice content was increased, but the changes of other texture parameter were not so large. Kumquats jam contained $40{\sim}60%$ orange juice was evaluated as superior to orange jam for panelists.

Whitefish(Coregonus clupeaformis) and Burbot(Lota iota) muscle was filleted, treated with dipotassium phosphate(pH 8.0) by means of high pressure injection method, and finally stored at $-l2^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. Factors, the pH, moisture content, and total amount of collagen were analyzed on the samples before and after the frozen storage. The pH of the sample showed substantially higher values in the phosphate treated muscles than the controls and decreased after 3 months storage in all of the whitefish and burbot samples, there was no significant differences in the moisture content between the control and treated but some reduction occurred during frozen storage. The amount of total collagen in the tail sections of burbot was significantly high comparing with head sections and hardness of the tail section also showed high values which indicated that total collagen might be related to the texture of fish muscle. However, in the case of whitefish the effect was not apparent. The effects of these factors on the hardness determined by Instron texturometer were analyzed through standardized multiple regression. A specific factor was not apparent to the texture of white fish while pH showed the highest correlation to the hardness of the burbot muscle.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of dietary xanthophylls(lutein and apocarotenoic acid ethyl ester) supplementation on the antioxidation of broiler meat. The broilers fed with 10 ppm or 20 ppm xanthophylls were raised for 6 weeks and then slaughtered. The broiler meats were stored at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 9 days and frozen at -18$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months until analysis, respectively. The pH of all treatments significantly(p<0.05) increased during the storage periods. The pH of the thigh was higher than that of the breast. TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and POV(peroxide value) were higher in thigh than breast. All meats from broiler fed with lutein and apocarotenoic acid ethyl ester(apo-ester) had greater antioxidant properties during the storage period than control meat(p<0.05). Antioxidant activity of dietary xanthophylls supplementation was more effective in thigh than breast, and in broiler meats during frozen storage than chilled storage. The higher concentration of xanthophylls in feed, the more inhibition of lipid oxidation in meat during storage. The meat from broiler fed with 20 ppm of lutein showed the highest antioxidant property during both refrigerated and frozen storage although there was no significant difference between lutein and apo-ester(p>0.05). Consequently, this results indicated that the antioxidant activity of dietary xanthophylls(lutein and apocarotenoic acid ethyl ester) supplementation was more effective.

Obtaining mutant animals is important for studying the function of a particular gene. A chemical mutagenesis was first carried out to generate mutations in C. elegans. In this study, we used ultraviolet-activated 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen to induce small deletion mutations. A library of mutagenized worms was prepared for recovery of candidate animals and stored at $15^{\circ}C$ during screening instead of being made into a frozen stock library. In order to isolate deletion mutations in target genes, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based screening method was used. As a result, two independent mutants with deletions of approximately 1.0 kb and 1.3 kb were isolated. This modified and improved reverse genetic approach was proven to be effective and practical for isolating mutant animals to study gene function at the organismal level.

It was attempted in this study to assess the vitamin $B_{1},\;B_{2}$, and $B_6$ status in tissue by determination of erythrocyte transketolase (TK), glutathione reductase (GR), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities, and their activation by their respective coenzymes, thiamine pyrophosphate, flavin-adenine dinucleotide, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The activities of erythrocyte enzymes were stable for more than 30 days when erythrocyte had been stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ and affirmed that the enzyme activities were more stable in the case of deep frozen sotrage of erythrocytes rather than hemolysates. The assay procedures involving ultraviolet kinetic analysis with continuous monitoring for each of enzymes have good within-batch and between-batch precisions and will be avalable in the routine laboratories for the nutritional and clinical surveys. Activity coefficient of TK, GR, and AST was studied in healthy medical students (fifteen men and twelve women, between 21 and 30 years old) on an unrestricted diet. The mean activity coefficient of TK, GR, and AST were 1.18, 1.35, and 2.01 for men, and 1.14, 1.33, and 1.83 for women, respectively. And the upper limit of normal (mean+2SD) were 1.52, 1.69, and 2.61 for men, and 1.50, 1.61, and 2.37 for women, respectively.

This study was intended to investigate the rheological properties of the development formula of infant foods and the results are summarized as follow ; 1) Consistency of starch solutions measured by Brabender Anylograph and Brookfield viscometer showed that waxy rice and riece with malt had lower consistency and more rheological stability.The flow type of tested raw materials and formula was found to ？ pseudoplastic, as judged by n-value of 0.332 -0.692, and no yield value. 2) The influenced of temperature on consistency could be accounted for by the equation, In (n) = K(1/T) + const. this relationship indicated that consistency of tested sample increased as temperature decreased. The consistency of waxy rice, rice with malt and formula A were less affected by the temperature change. 3) Infant foods with malt(formula A ) ad with waxy rice maintained better freeze-thaw stability in terms of consistency and starch aggregation indicating that this infant food could be stored for a long term in the freezer section of the home refrigeratory without adverse effect on the product quality. 4) From the above experiments, it would necessarily follow that infant food can be easily made at home the food-stuffs generally available around us, and that the easiest and safest way to store them lies in making them into semisolid state, and in keeping them in frozen state.

Umbilical cord blood has been recently considered an attractive potential alternative as a source of stem cell transplantation to curing diseases such as leukemia, cancers, immune disorders. Normally the stored system of the umbilical cord blood specimen is equipped with a computer-controlled robotic arm that enables the samples to locate the identification places in liquid nitrogen tank at regulated temperature as about $-196^{\circ}C$. As the half of robotic arm is in the air and the rest part is submerged in liquid nitrogen, the temperature of robotic arm varies from ambient to liquid nitrogen temperature. In this study the temperature variation of upper part of arm above tank lid was thermally analysed by using the commercial code of Ansys. The result of analysis was that the upper part of robotic arm was seriously frozen due to heat transfer from liquid nitrogen as low as -$120^{\circ}C$. In order to solve the frost problem of robotic arm, small PTFE tube block as resistance material was introduced into the lower part of tank lid instead of the whole stainless steel(SUS) robotic arm. The results showed that the temperature of robotic arm above the lid was higher enough, and this method would be one of the very effective measure to solve the problem.
