To optimize the processing conditions of fermented ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi, fermentation at low temperature with different salt contents, the effect of enzymes added, and the quality changes during fermentation were investigated. As the quality factors, changes in such components as free amino acid, volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), amino nitrogen, total creatinine, total carotenoid, extents of browning, reducing sugar and glycogen were determined. The quality was also evaluated organolatically by pannel test. Fresh deshelled and sliced ascidian were fermented for 50 days at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ with different salt contents of 5, 10, $15\%$ (w/w) with enzyme contents of papain $0.1\%$ and protease-A $0.1\%$ VBN increased gradually during the 50 days of fermentation and showed $30{\sim}40mg/100g$ at 30, 35 and 45 days in case of salt contents 5, 10 and $15\%$ added with $0.1\%$ papain and protease-A, respectively. Amino nitrogen and the total creatinine increased until 20 days, hereafter tended to decrease gradually. Total carotenoid and glycogen also decreased during the fermentation. The results of sensory evaluation of fermented ascidian at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ added $0.1\%$ papain or protease-A showed that the peculiar taste and flavor of ascidian was sustained for $30{\sim}40$ at least 20 days with $5\%$ NaCl and $35{\sim}45$ days of fermentation with 10 and $15\%$ NaCl.

This work was carried to evaluate effect of different raising periods on fatty acids and amino acids properties of Korean native commercial ducks. Korean native ducks (n = 90) from National Institute of Animal Science (RDA, Korea) were divided into 6 groups (15 birds/group) and were fed with meat-type duck diets for 8 wk old. When ducks grew at specific wk (6, 7 and 8 weeks), 2 ducks per group were slaughtered at 6, 7 and 8 wk old. Myristic acid (C14:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) of saturated fatty acid (SFA) were the highest and arachidonic acid of unsaturated fatty acid (USFA) was the lowest at the age of 6 weeks old (P<0.05) at the age of 6 weeks old among treatments. Stearic acid of SFA was the highest at the age of 7 weeks old among treatments. There was no significant difference on other fatty acids among treatments. SFA and USFA have significant difference at the age of 8 weeks (P<0.05). Histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine and threonine of essential amino acid increased with passing weeks (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on isoleucine and valine (P>0.05). Every non-essential amino acids were the highest at the age of 8 weeks among treatments (P<0.05). In conclusion, fatty acid contents and amino acid contents increased until the age of 8 weeks old, but further research was needed because of deficiency of data to suggest the correct shipping time.

This work was carried out to investigate effects of the freezing/thawing method on duck meat kept in a freezer for a month. The meats used were breast muscle collected from Korean native ducks (KND) that were fed for 8 weeks (2.8 kg of live weight). Forty-five samples were used after being frozen in storage for one month and were then divided into 5 treatments (3 replications/treatment, 3 samples/replication). Five treatments (CON, FFFT, FFST, SFFT and SFST) were control groups (CON) and four were experimental groups, using $2{\times}2$ complex factors with two freezing methods (fast freezing, FF, $-50^{\circ}C$ in a deep freezer; slow freezing, SF, $-20^{\circ}C$ in a common freezer) and two thawing methods (fast thawing, FT, 5 h $12^{\circ}C$ with flow water; slow thawing, ST, 24 h $5^{\circ}C$ in a refrigerator). Lightness of KND meat in FF and FT groups was lower than that of control (P<0.05). Yellowness of KND meat of the ST group was higher than that of control (P<0.05). Cooking loss (CL) and water holding capacity (WHC) of KND meat in the control were lower than those of the freezing and thawing groups (P<0.01, P<0.05), but shear force (SF) of the control was higher than that of other groups (P<0.01). Moisture content of the ST group was higher than that of the FT group (P<0.05), and protein content of the FF group was higher than that of control (P<0.05). Stearic acid (C18:0) of the SF group was higher than that of the FF group (P<0.05). Arachidonic acid (C20:4n6) of control was higher than that of the SF and ST groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). Alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, and tyrosine content of the control were lower than that of the freezing and thawing groups (P<0.05). These results show that freezing and thawing methods affect meat color, shear force, cooking loss, and WHC-related water content.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary Flammulina velutipes mycelium (FVM) on physico-chemical properties and nutritional components of chicken meat. Ninety-six broiler chicks (HanHyup No. 3, Korea) were divided into four groups: control (basal diet), T1 (supplemented with 1% FVM), T2 (3%), and T3 (5%). Broiler chicks in each group were slaughtered at 7 weeks of age, and their breast and thigh meat were collected. Lightness ($L^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) in the T2 and T3 groups were higher than in the control group (p<0.05). The loss of breast meat during cooking was increased in the T1, T2, and T3 groups, and the water-holding capacity of the breast meat was also decreased in these three groups (p<0.05). The water-soluble protein solubility was lower in the T1, T2, and T3 groups than in the control group (p<0.05), but the salt-soluble protein solubility in these three groups was higher than that in the control group (p<0.05). The crude fat content of the breast meat was decreased and that of the thigh meat was increased as the level of FVM was increased (p<0.05). The unsaturated fatty acid content of the breast meat was higher in the T2 and T3 groups than in the control group (p<0.05). The free amino acid content was high in the T1, T2, and T3 groups compared to the control. In conclusion, these results showed that feeding with 3% and 5% FVM increased the L and b values in thigh meat, improved the salt-soluble protein solubility, and increased the content of unsaturated fatty acids and free amino acids.

The Merit variety of soybean (Glycine max L.), harvested in 1971 was germinated in the dark at $21{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The soybean sprout were divided into cotyledons and seedling axis and subjected to the determination of lipoxygenase activity and fatty acid composition of triglycerides, free fatty acids, phosholipids and crude fat fractions at two-day intervals during the germination periods. The results are summarized as follows 1) The lipoxygenase activity in cotyledons declined sharply after second day, but the activity in seedling axis inclined slightly after second day. However, the decrease of lipoxygenase activity in cotyledons coincided with decrease of linoleic and linolenic acids in cotyledons and increase of lipoxygenase activity in seedling axis coincided with increase of those acids in seedling axis. 2) The iodine value of neutral fat in cotyledons decreased continuously, but the iodine value of the neutral fat in seedling axis remained almost constant. iodine value in cotyeldons was greater than in seedling axis. 3) In the fatty acid composition of triglycerides in cotyledons, palmitic acid did not changes significantly, stearic acid increased continuously, oleic acid changed irregularly, linoleic and linolenic acids continuously decreased significantly. But in the fatty acid composition of triglycerides in seedling axis, palmitic acid remained unchanged, linoleic and linolenic acids slightly increased continuously, stearic and oleic acids changed irregularly. 4) Composition of free fatty acids in cotyledons and seedling axis changed irregularly, suggesting that all fatty acids produced by hydrolysis of triglycerides by lipase are used(or either biosynthetic Purpose or energy Production at random. 5) Fatty acids with odd-numbered carbon chain were not detected in the triglycerides and free fatty acid fractions during the germination periods, suggesting that all fatty acids are utilized as $C_2$-unit in degradation and biosynthesis. 6) The changes of fatty acids composition of Phospholipid in cotyledons and seedling axis during the germination were similar to these of triglyceride fraction.

This study was attempted to establish the basic data for evaluating taste compounds in fermented entrails of Clupanodon Osdeckii. The changes of such compounds as amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds, betaine, TMAO and TMA during fermentation were analyzed. IMP, AMP, ADP and ATP were decreased, while hypoxanthine was increased during the fermentation. The content of hypoxanthine in fermented entrails of Clupanodon Osdeckii after 50 days was increased to about 2 times of that in raw entrails. In the free amino acid composition of raw entrails, abundant amino acids were lysine, glutamic acid, valine, alanine, threonine, serine, leucine and glycine in order. Such amino acids as arginine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were lower than 2.0% of total free amino acid, and proline and cysteine were detected in trace amount. The changes in free amino acid composition of the extract in entrails of Clupanodon Osdeckii during fermentation were not observed. Such amino acids as lysine, glutamic acid, valine, serine and leucine were especially abundant in both raw and fermented products. The content of total free amino acids in fermented entrails of Clupanodon Osdeckii after 50 days were increased to about 12 times of that in raw. The content of betaine nitrogen were about 14.5 (moisture and salt free base) after 50 days of fermentation. TMAO nitrogen was decreased during the fermentation. It is believed that lysine, glutamic acid, valine, serine, leucine and hypoxanthine play an important role as taste compounds in fermented entrails of Clupanodon Oseckii.

The food components and quality characteristics of two kinds of boiled-dried anchovies (Engraulis japonica) in the Korean market such as the Jukbang-Myoel (JM) and Kwonhyunmang-Myeol (KM) were investigated. KM was higher in moisture content, and lower in crude protein and lipid contents than JM. Volatile basic nitrogen was higher in KM than in JM, whereas TBA value showed higher levels in JM. Total combined amino acid contents of KM and JM were 41.9∼46.6 g/100 g and 42.0∼49.2 g/100 g, respectively, and large sized boiled-dried anchovies revealed higher contents than small sized ones in both samples. Their major amino acids were Glu, Asp, His, Leu, Ala and Arg. Total lipids of KM and JM were consisted of 55.4 ∼ 68.4%, 53.0 ∼ 68.0% neutral lipid and 31.6∼44.6%,32.0∼47.0% polar lipid, respectively, and their major fatty acids were 14:0, 16:0, 16:1n-7, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3. In taste compounds of boiled-dried anchovies, free amino acid contents of Km and JM were 953.7 ∼ 1,044.8 mg/100 g and 968.8 ∼ 1,306.4 mg/100 g, respectively, and main free amino acids were Tau, His, Ala, 1-methyl his, Lys, Glu and Gly. The contents of other taste-active components such as IMP, total creatinine, TMAO and inorganic ions were not significantly different between KM and JM. The results of sensory evaluations for organoleptic characteristics, small sized JM showed no difference in sensory qualities, whereas large sized JM showed good qualities for appearance, taste and odor compared with KM.

Growth of soybean sprouts(Glycine Max L.) and amounts of some chemical components were measured when they were exposed to blue light (120lux, 3hrs/day) during their growth. Hypocotyl length of irradiated soybean sprouts exceeded slightly that of control (dark) soybean sprouts, but the tfresh weight of whole sprouts as well as each part of the sprout showed no difference between the two groups. Chlorophyll content of cotyledon under blue light increased significantly with the lapse of days (3.57 and $8.45\;{\mu}g/100g$ fresh weight on the 3rd and 7th day). Bluelight irradiated sprouts contained more vitamin C than control sprouts (21.7% and 30.8% higher for the cotyledon and hypocotyl). Total amount of protein was not affected. Hypocotyl protein content was 8% of that in original soybean. Blue light did not affect the activity of trypsin inhibitor of sprouts. Similar activity of the inhibitor was observed in the cotyledon whereas hypocotyl showed activity corresponding to 23.7% of original bean. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretogram for the protein showed 10, 9, and 11 bands in the original bean. 5th day cotyledon and hypocotyl respectively. Especially, band 3 of low Rm value was major protein component for the hypocotyl. Band 5 and 11 could be seen only in the protein of hypocotyl from bluelight irradiated sprouts, whereas no effect of blue light on the electrophoretogram was observed for the cotyledon.

This study was to investigate the chemical content and antioxidant activity by the part of Salicornia herbacea as part of using Salicornia herbacea as materials of functional foods. On a basis of the materials, this study was to clarify the nutritional excellence, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity of Salicornia herbacea. From the result of this research above, it may be summed up as follows.The Salicornia herbacea used in the experiment contained the moisture and crude fiber in the stalks a lot, and the protein, fat, and ash in the branches more. As to the content of free amino acid, the content of arginine took in the branches and stems most. Then, it contained threonine, glycine, tryptophan, valine, isoleucine, and lysine, etc. in the branches a lot. Also, it contained threonine, glutamic acid, tyrosine tryptophan alanine, and isoleucine in the stalks a lot. It was shown to be contained of essential amino acids like isoleucine, leucine, threonine, valine, methionine, lysine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan in the branches and steams more. As to the content of fatty acid in Salicornia herbacea, it found out that it contained the unsaturated fatty acid more than the saturated fatty acid. It took the content of eicosenoic acid(20:1) in the branches and stalks most. And then, it contained linoleic acid(18:2), pehtadecenoic acid(15:1), palmitic acid(16:0), and oleic acid(18:1), etc. a lot. As to the antioxidant activity in Salicornia herbacea using the DPPH radical, it was shown to be existed in the largest antioxidant activity when the concentration of methanolextract from Salicornia herbacea was 1 mM. There was higher antioxidant activity than 100 ppm BHT used as control plot when the concentration of methanol extract from the stalks was $100{\mu}M$. From the result of experiment above, Salicornia herbacea contained the essential amino acid a lot. It will be possible to be used as natural antioxidants because it has excellent antioxidant effect. Therefore, this researcher concludes that it will be available in using it as materials of functional foods.
