The mackerels, Scomber japonicus (HOUTTYN), for this study were caught by purse sein net in Korea. In this paper, the seasonal variations of the oil content and Vitamin A concentration in oil in different parts of the mackerel, the distribution of the Vitamin A of viscera of that and physical and chemical constants of oil were discussed. The results are summarized as follows: 1. In the beginning of June, the liver weight increased rapidly and reached the maximum. In this period, the gonad weight was also maximum. It seemed that this phenomenon has influenced on the nutritional and physiological aspects of the spawning stage. 2. The Vitamin A concentration of liver oil reached the maximum value in the middle of July. In the most case, it was proportinate to the oil content in liver inversely. 3. The Vitamin A concentration of pyloric caeca oil reached the maximum Value in the late of July. It showed the tendency of being proportionate to the oil content in pyloric caeca inversely. And the Vitamin A concentration of intestine oil reached maximum value in the beginning of July. 4. The distribution average ratio of Vitamin A in liver, pyloric caeca, intestine, stomach and contents of stomach and gonad to the total Vitamin A in whole viscera were 60.8, 29.4, 5.7, 2.2, and 1.9 percentage. The seasonal variation of the distribution of Vitamin A in pyloric caeca to the amount of total Vitamin A in whole viscera was proportionate to that of liver inversely. 5. It seemed that there were no any corelation between the Vitamin A content and seasonal variation of the physical and chemical constants of viscera oil. But when the Vitamin A concentration was high, the refractive index, the amount of unsaponifiable matter and iodine value of viscera oil were also high. 6. On the extracting vitamin oil of viscera of mackerel, it is the most suitable period from the end of May to the middle of October. The liver, pyloric caeca and intestine of mackerel are valuable and the other parts of vicera are worthless as vitamin oil resources. It is probable that the whole viscera oil could also be utilized as vitamin-rich oil, if it were concentrated.

Inventories of soluble elements in the gap and grain boundaries of domestic used PWR fuel pellets were measured to estimate the quantities of radionuclides that are liable to be rapidly released into the groundwater of a disposal site. The gap inventory of cesium for the pellets in the used fuel with a burn-up range of 45 to 66 GWD/MTU showed 0.85 to 1.7% of its total inventory, which was close to 1/6 to 1/3 of the fission gas release fraction (FGRF). However, the amounts of cesium released from the gaps of the pellets below 40 GWD/MTU of a burn-up and less than 1% FGRF were so erratic that the gap inventory could not be defined by ie FGRF. Strontium inventories in the gap and grain boundaries of the pellets in the same rod were not significantly varied, and the iodine inventory in the gap of the used PWR fuels was estimated to be less than or the same as the FGRF.

Physicochemical properties, gelatinization and retrogradation characteristics of surfactant added sweet potato starches were investigated. Three different surfactants, SSL (sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate), Dimodan (mono/diglyceride) and SE1670 (sucrose fatty acid ester 1670) were used. Shapes and crystallinities of starch granules were not changed by the addition of surfactants. Total lipid contents increased and the amylose content decreased by the addition of surfactants and the order was as follows: SE1670>SSL>Dimodan. The swelling power and solubility at $80^{\circ}C$ decreased in the surfactant added starches. By amylograph, initial gelatinization temperature of untreated sweet potato starch was $72.5^{\circ}C$, and did not change by the addition of surfactants, but SE1670 or Dimodan added starch showed the peak viscosity. The peak temperature of gelatinization and enthalpy of untreated starch by DSC were $53.9^{\circ}C$ and 1.3cal/g, respectively. The peak temperature increased by the addition of surfactants, while the enthalpy decreased. In gelatinization by alkali, the viscosity was lower in surfactant added starches than in untreated starch at concentration. The degree of retrogradation by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method was a lower in SSL and SE1670 added starches than untreated starch and the enthalpy by DSC also decreased in surfactant added and retrograded starches.

The effects of different types of additives(sucrose fatty acid ester(SE), oligosaccharide and alum) on 40% nonwaxy rice starch gels stored at $20{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ were investigated by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method, X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry. The addition of SE retarded the retrogradation of gels throughout storage period and the antistaling effect of SE was increased with increasing concentration. Oligosaccharide(0.1%) inhibited the retrogradation, but oligosaccharide(0.1% or 0.5%) retarded the retrogradation at early stage of storage, and stimulated the retrogradation after 3 days. Alum of 0.1% level retarded the retrogradation, but 0.3% level activated the retrogradation after 24 hours and 0.5% level did after 12 hours. The effect of additives on the retrogradation of rice starch gels showed the different tendencies at the level of additives. On 0.1% level, the effect of those was similar but on 0.5%, the degree of retardation increased in order of oligosaccharide, SE1170, alum, no addition for up to 2 days of storage and SE1170, no addition, oligosaccharide, alum for 3 days of storage.

The physicochemical properties of starch isolated from Yullmoo (Coix lachrymajobi var. mayuen stapf.) and Yeomjoo (Coix lachryma-jobi L.) were investigated. The average diameters of starch granules of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo were 12.0 microns, both of all, and the shape of these starch granules were hexagon, octagon and round. X-ray diffraction patterns of two samples were A-types and amylose contents of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo starch were 0% and 23%, respectively, iodine affinities of these were 0.08% and 4.2%, respectively, blue values and alkali numbers of these were 0.13 and 0.43, 2.4 and 7.2, and raising power of these were 280 and 20, respectively. Yullmoo starch had higher swelling power than Yeomjoo starch. The increase in optical transmittance of 0.1% suspensions of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo starches occurred at $60^{\circ}C$ and continued up to $75^{\circ}C$ for Yullmoo, $85^{\circ}C$ for Yeomjoo. Amylogram data on 5% of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo starch suspensions showed that gelatinization temperatures and maximum peak heights of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo were $68.5^{\circ}C\;and\;78^{\circ}C$, 920 and 310 B.U., respectiyely. Intrinsic viscosities of Yullmoo and Yeomjoo starches were 1.49 and 1.77, respectively, and interaction coefficients of the two starches were 0.57 and 0.56, respectively The extent of retrogradation determined at $2^{\circ}C$ showed that retrogradation occurred slowly with Yullmoo starch paste tut little with Yullmoo.

In order to investigate structural properties of Chindo black rice(grown in Chindo, Chonnam) starch and its amylopectin, Chindo black rice was investigated in comparison to Shinsun waxy rice. The maximum absorbance wave and intrinsic viscosity of Chindo black rice starch and Shinsun waxy rice starch were 523 nm, 521 nm and 183 ml/g, 178 ml/g, respectively. ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit(%) of Chindo black rice and Shinsun waxy rice starch were 62.8% and 60.3%, respectively. Chindo black rice was determined to be a waxy rice due to the results of iodine reaction and elution profile on Sephroce CL-2B. The chain of amylopectins in Chindo black rice distributed fraction 1$(F_1)$ of above degree of polymerization$({\overline{DP}})$ 55, fraction 2$(F_2)$ of ${\overline{DP}} $40{\sim}50$ and fraction 3$(F_3)$ of ${\overline{DP}} $15{\sim}20$, and the ratio of $F_3$ to $F_2$ for Chindo black rice was higher than that for Shinsun waxy rice. The super long chain of amylopectin in Chindo black rice was consisted much more than that of Shinsun waxy rice. ${\beta}-limit$ dextrins in Chindo black rice amylopectin distributed $F_1$ of above ${\overline{DP}} 55, $F_2$ of ${\overline{DP}} $30{\sim}45$ and $F_3$ of ${\overline{DP}} $10{\sim}20$. Little difference was shown between elution patterns of the pullulanase treated ${\beta}-limit$ dextrins of Chindo black rice amylopectin and Shinsun waxy rice amylopectin. These results suggest that Chindo black rice starch was similar to Shinsun waxy rice starch.
