Changes in the physicochemical characteristics and triglyceride molecular species of corn oil under the following condition of hydrogenation; temperature $180^{\circ}C,\;H_{2}$, pressure $2.0{\pm}0.3bar$, the amount of Ni catalyst 0.048%(Ni/oil by wt.) and agitation speed 300 rpm. The rate of hydrogenation, expressed as the reduction rate of the iodine value with respect to time, is first order and high (K>0.01). When the reduction rate of the iodine value was 39.9%, hydrogenation time was 30 min, 18:1 was highest(77.06%), thereafter that was decreased and 18:0 increased. In the triglyceride composition, OLL, LLL were reduced markedly in 10 min, thereafter reduced slightly. And PLO, PLL, OLO were eliminated in first 30 min. On the other hand, POO, PLS(CN52) and OOO, SLO(CN54) were increased sharply, and then that showed little change. The melting point(MP) of hydrogenated corn oil were $27.8^{\circ}C\;and\;44.1^{\circ}C$ after 20 min and 60 min, respectively. Trans isomer content increased to 46.8% during 40 mins of hydrogenation and then decreased insignificantly. The solid fat content were linearly increased with hydrogenation time. Accordingly, it is confirmed that this condition of hydrogenation was selective, preferential elimination of polyunsaturated fatty acid went stepwise and trans isomer was formed promotedly. These results suggest that fat modification techniques can be used for practical application.

The study was carried out to investigate interrelationships among the acid, peroxide, iodine, thiobarbituric acid values, and changes of fatty acid compositions of some vegetable oils added to soybean milk. A storage temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ was used for the oxidation of the oils, and to determine of variation of the chemical properties and changes of the fatty acid composition, all the samples were carried out in every 8 hours for 40 hours. The changes in fatty acid compositions of the vegetable oils were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The results obtained were as follow; 1. The acid values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.05, 0.12, and 0.06, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 0.08, 0.18, and 0.09, respectively. 2. The peroxide values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.3, 1.0, and 0.3, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 1.1, 1.1, and 0.9, respectively. 3. The iodine values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 132.7, 124.1, and 57.0, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 127.3 108.3, and 52.0, respectively. 4. The thiobarbituric acid values of fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.18, 0.05, and 0.02, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 0.25, 0.19, and 0.07, respectively. 5. The percent content of the major fatty acids of the soybean, corn, and palm oils freshly added to the soybean milk were 2.3%,2.5%,and 25.2%for palmitic acid, 3.2%,3.2%,and 4.8%for stearic acid, 39.7%, 40.7%, and 59.3% for oleic acid, 49.9%, 53.0%, and 10.5% for linoleic acid, and 4.7%, 0.4%, and 0.7% for linolenic acid, respectively. Those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 2.9%, 4,5%, and 36.7% for palmitic acid, 8.5%, 6.8%, and 7.0% for stearic acid, 37.8%, 38.8%, and 49.2% for oleic acid, 46.2%, 49.5%, and 5.8% for linoleic acid, and 4.2%, 0.1%, and 0.1% for linolenic acid, respectively. The fatty acid compositions changed significantly: the amounts of the unsaturated fatty acid decreased considerably. The rsults of the present study demonstrated greater stability of the palm oil as compared with the stability of soybean oil and corn oil added to the soybean milk.

Soybean sauce fermented with soybean and wheat, has been a major condiment of Korean diets from centuries ago. Melanoidin, a brown pigment generally found in various food systems, is a final product produced in amino-carbonyl reaction during soybean sauce processing. Antioxidative activities of soybean sauce and melanoidin were investigated in vitro system using linoleic acid emulsion. Soybean sauce and glucose-lysine model melanoidin showed the stronger antioxidative effect than control by ferric thiocyanate and conjugated diene assays. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging effect of soybean sauce was higher than melanoidin, which was ascribed to soluble peptide and low molecular protein existing in soybean sauce. To ascertain antioxidative effect of dietary soybean sauce and melanoidin in vivo, the male Wister rats were fed 10% soybean sauce or 10% glucose-lysine model melanoidin with corn oil or fish oil for 5 weeks. Fatty acid compositions in liver and plasma were influenced by oil source. Therefore, EPA and DHA contents of fish oil group were higher than those of corn oil group. When the inhibitory effect of soybean sauce and melanoidin on lipid peroxidation using TBARS methods was measured, fish oil group (FC) showed higher malondialdehyde (MDA) content than corn oil group (CC). However, supplementation of soybean sauce and melanoidin to fish oil group attenuated MDA formation. In the levels of phosphatidyl choline hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in liver and plasma by CL (chemiluminescence)-HPLC method, PCOOH in FC group was significantly higher than that of CC group both in liver and plasma. Supplementation of soybean sauce to fish oil groups significantly inhibited the formation of PCOOH in plasma and liver, while melanoidin suppressed hepatic PCOOH formation. Based on these results, it can be suggested that soybean sauce possesses stronger antioxidative potential than melanoidin.

The study analyzed the lipid patterns and fatty acid compositions of serum and liver tissues in groups of Sparague-Dawley rats. Some of the groups were fed with an basal diet, which contained com oil (C), grape seed oil (GSO), or perilla oil (P), and the others were fed with a high fat diet, which had cholesterol (1%) and lard (10%) mixed with corn oil (CHF), grape seed oil (GSHF), or perilla oil (PHF). The amount of dietary intake was higher for the basal diet groups than the high fat diet groups. And diet efficiency was significantly low in the group of rats fed with the basal diet mixed with perilla oil. From the analysis of the serum lipid patterns, a significant decrease in total lipid concentration was observed in the group of rats fed on the basal diet mixed with perilla oil and the high fat diet group. The levels of triglyceride and phospholipid were significantly low in the basal diet group when perilla oil or grape seed oil was involved. The ordinary diet groups showed significantly higher in HDL-C than the high fat diet groups. There was no significant difference among the basal diet groups, whether the diet was mixed with grape seed oil, perilla oil, or com oil. However, a significant increase in HDL-C was observed in the group of rats fed with the high fat diet containing perilla oil. For LDL-C, there was a significant difference between the high fat diet groups and the basal diet groups. LDL-C was especially low in the group of rats fed with the high fat diet to which perilla oil was added, and the grape seed-added high fat diet group showed a decreasing tendency in LDL-C. The content of total fat, total cholesterol, and triglyceride was the lowest in the group of rats fed with the perilla oil-containing basal diet, and this group was followed in order by the grape seed oil-containing diet group and com oil-containing diet group. In the analysis of the fatty-acid composition in liver tissue, the high fat diet groups showed an increase in saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, but a decrease in mono unsaturated fatty acids when compared to the basal diet groups. The composition ratio of fatty acids varied according to which type of oil the diet contains. Our finding suggest that grape seed oil was an apparent diet effect on the fatty-acid composition.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of n-3 fatty acids and dietary protein levels on renal function. Fifteen-month old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 diet groups. Two-month old rats were used as a control group. The experimental diets contained either a% or 25% casein and lipid levels of the diets were 20% by weight. For the control group, the lipid was composed of beef tallow and corn oil on a 1:1 basis, and fish oil was comprised 75% of the fat mixture for the fish oil group. Rats were fed the diets ad libitum for 8 weeks. GFR and urinary protein excretion were higher in high protein groups, while fish oil exhibited no effects. Renal medulla TXB$_2$and PGE$_2$ concentrations tended to be higher in high protein groups and lower in fish oil groups. Light microscopic examinations showed that glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, tubular cast, interstitial inflammation and interstitial fibrosis fended to be higher in aged rats and in high protein groups and lower in fish oil groups. Serum levels of total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol were higher in aged rats and lower in fish oil groups while serum HDL-cholesterol level was higher in young rats and in fish oil groups. However, dietary protein level had no effect on serum lipid levels. Serum TBARS concentration was higher in aged rats and in fish oil groups. In conclusion, fish oil caused changes in serum lipid concentrations and eicosanoids metabolism. The effect of fish oil on renal function was less obvious than dietary protein. However, fish oil seemed to be effective in lessening deterioration of renal function due to aging and/or high protein diets through changes in lipid and eicosanoids metabolism.

In the previous reports, we selected 80% MeOH extract of 7 herbs including Scutellariae Radix(SR), Paeoniae Radix Rubra(PRR), Moutan Cortex(MC), Angelicae Gigantis Radix(AGR), Crataegi Fructus(CF), Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam(BCT) and Cinnamomi Ramulus(CR), which exhibited the inhibitory effect on HMG-CoA reductase and DPPH free radical scavenging effect in vitro, and antihyperlipidemic effects on antihyperlipidemic rats induced by Triton WR 1339 in vivo. Among them, SR, MC, AGR and BCT showed significant suppression of elevated serum LDL-cholesterol level, and AGR and CF showed significant liver weight increase on high cholesterol diet induced hyperlipidemic mice. And, SR, PRR, AGR, BCT and CR significantly suppressed the elevated serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels on corn oil induced hyperlipidemic rats. Then, in order to research new antihyperlipidemic agents from the oriental medicinal herbs, we chose SR, AGR, CR and BCT which have the antihyperlipidemic effect in vitro and in vivo, and those herbs were systematically fractionated with organic solvent. EtOAc fraction of SR, hexane fraction of BCT, AGR and chloroform fraction of CR exhibited remarkably inhibitory effect on HMG-CoA reductase activity.

This study was designed to observe the effects of the fish oil and some seed oils on the improvement of the lipid composition in rats. In order to induce the triglyceridemia in the rats of the Sprague-Dawley, 12% coconut oil and 3％ each of olive oil, lard, fish oil, perilla oil, corn oil, red pepper seed oil and evening primrose oil were administered to the rats for tweets. Total cholesterol concentrations of serum were lower in the fish oil, perilla oil and corn oil groups and by for higher in the red pepper seed oil and evening primrose oil groups than in the olive oil group(control group). HDL-cholesterol concentrations were a little higher in the red pepper oil and evening primrose oil groups. In the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentrations to total cholesterol concentrations, all groups were higher percentage than the control group. Cholesteryl ester concentrations of serum were high in n-6 PUFA rich red pepper seed oil and evening primrose oil group. In the ratio of cholesteryl ester concentrations to total cholesterol, all groups(70.0~74.4%)were higher than the control group(62％). Phospholipid concentrations of serum were low in the fish oil and perilla oil groups and triglyceride concentrations were remarkably lower in the fish oil and evening primrose oil groups than in the control group. LCAT activities of serum were higher in the lard group than in the control group, but lower in the other groups.

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of deodorizing temperature on physicochemical characteristics, fatty acid and triglyceride (TG) composition, and to estabilish the optimal deodorizing conditions in corn oil. Acid value (AV) of $240^{\circ}C$ treating group was showed 0.065 as the lowest level, the AV range was $0.08{\sim}0.09$ at $250{\sim}270^{\circ}C$. Lovibond total color was 24 as the lowest level, peroxide values (POV) were zero at $240{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ range. But POV was showed 0.42 meg/kg oil at $235^{\circ}C$, according to the optimal deodorizing temperature for the complete removal of peroxides was required more than $240^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, inclose of deodorizing temperature was conducted to the increase of saturated fatty acid content as myristic, palmitic, stearic and arachidic acid etc. Change of TG composition at treated group more than $250^{\circ}C$ was reliable, $S_3$ type TG was appeared. As a result, high temperature deodorizing was induced the undesirable influence at the physicochemical properties in deodorized corn oil.

This research was aimed to manufacture the cholesterol free Mozzarella cheese with corn oil that contains high unsaturated fatty acid helping the reduction of serum cholesterol. Cheese stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ was evaluated with general analysis, volatile free fatty acid, cholesterol, meltability, stretchability, color, rheological properties, and sensory evaluation. Moisture contents decreased during cheese storage period, whereas protein contents and pH value increased significantly (P < 0.05), but fat contents did not show any significant change. Linoleic acid was tile main volatile free fatty acid in a fat of cheese, and cholesterol contents were measured 4.34$\pm$ 0.04 mg/100 g in cheese. The meltability of cheese gradually increased during ripening, while the stretchability decreased. The color of cheese showed translucent yellow. Hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness increased significantly up to 21 days of storage. Compared to control cheese made by conventional way, QDA scores of shiny, oiling off, and melting of cholesterol free cheese were significantly different. These results suggested that health-oriented cholesterol free Mozzarella cheese would be made by addition of the corn oil.

The long-term effects of vegetable and animal high fat diet on the lipid metabolism were investigated in male weaning rats. The rats were fed one of four semipurified diet ad libitum : control diet supplied 12% of calories as fat(control group), low fat diet supplied 3% of calories as fat(3% F group), 45% corn oil diet supplied 45% calories from corn oil(45% C group) and 45% butter fat diet supplied 45% calories from butte. fat(45% B group). The weights of liver, content of triacylglycerol(TG), total cholesterol and phospholipid(PL) in liver were investigated. The weight of liver of rats, fed 45% corn oil at 12 weeks and fed 45% butter fat for all period of diet were higher than that of control group. The contents of TG in liver of rats, fed 45% corn oil from 8 weeks and fed 45% butter fat for all period of diet were higher than that of control group. The levels of TG in liver of rats fed 45% butter fat were higher than those of rats fed 45% corn oil. The contents of total lipid and cholesterol in liver of rats were increased with similar trend of TG level, but contents of PL in liver had no relation with the levels and types of dietary fat and feeding periods. The liver of rats were observed histochemically by light microscope. Mild to severe level of fatty changes in liver of 45% C and 45% B group were observed at 8 and 12 weeks of diet. The liver of rats in control group appeared to be healthy and normal electron-microscopically, but in fatty degenerated hepatocytes of 45% C and 45% B group, nuclear membranes were irregular and a great number of intracytoplasmic fat vacuoles in cells were variable in size and low in electon density. The numbers of lysosome were increased and secondary lysosomes among them were observed on electron microscope.
