To improve functional properties and enhance application of FPC in food industry, modified salmon FPC with enzyme treatment was produced and its general properties were investigated. Salmon FPC has over $84\%$ of protein and less than $0.18\%$ of lipid. Solubilities of FPC extracted with IPA and ethanol were very poor as less than $3\%$ in every pH range. In case of enzyme : substrate ratio of 1 : 100, degree of hydrolysis significantly increased until 4 hours and then slightly increased. No considerable differences were observed in general components of hydrolysates. Results of SDS-PAGE showed one unique band in each case and their molecular weight was less than 6,500. The flow properties of hydrolysates showed newtonian flow. Whiteness of hydrolysates were higher than that of salmon FPC as $5\~7$. There was no significant differences in the amount of peptide, but that of free amino acid slightly increased from 0.17 to 0.21 mg/ml.

Changes in proximate composition and meat weight of oysters cultured in shallow-water at Bukman bay of Tongyeong in Korea with Korean and Japanese spats were investigated. Protein content (dry basis) was rich in August and September, accounting for $70\~72\%$ in the oyster (Korean oyster) cultured with Korean spat and $75\~76\%$ in the oyster (Japanese oyster) cultured with Japanese spat. On the contrary to protein content, carbohydrate contents (dry basis) in the both oysters were poor in the both months, There was a negative correlation (r=-0.94, p<0.01) between protein and carbohydrate content during growing of the bath spats. Total lipid (TL) content was the poorest in August, which is known as spawning season, accounting for $1.4\~1.5\%$ in the both oysters. In addition, the korean oyster also showed the lowest level or TL content in october. Meat weights or the Korean and japanese oysterswere 4.2$\~$4.8 g/specimen and 7.5$\~$8.3 g/specimen, respectively, in the harvest season from November to December. Meat weight increased exponentially with TL content, $y=0,2081e^{1.5696x}$ (r=0.8856, p<0.001). These nutritional components per specimen were contained about two times more in the Japanese oyster than in the Korean one in the harvest period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of medicinal plants application as an edible functional food resource. This research was planned to apply Artesmisia capillaris, which is one of the most widely used oriental medicinal resource into beverages, and to evaluate the validity and the nutrients of the developed beverage with Artemisia capillaris. Following this plan, we analyzed contents of the general nutritional composition, mineral and amino acid contents. And to evaluate the improvement of blood circulation and the ability to recover from fatigue, we had a group of athletes to regularly take the beverage before and after exercise and checked the heart rates, and blood components before exercise and after exercise. Brix, pH and titratable acidity of develoued drink were 9.2%, 4.4 and 0.04%, respectively. The approximate nutritional composition of beverage was carbohydrate, 2.70%, crude protein, 6.00%, crude ash, 0.20%, and crude fat, 0.10%. And developed beverage contained essential amono acids and minerals (p, Ca, K, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn). Heart rates, lactic acid, glucose, creatinine, LDH, GOT, GPT and lipid concentratios in blood were decreased after taking the beverage with Artemisia capillaris for 6 weeks, both in stable condition and after exercise. Since the athletes who participated In our research were doing aerobic exercise regularly, we judged that this result was formed not only by aerobic exercise, but also by the function of developed beverage with Artemisia capillaris the athletes took for 6 weeks. We believe that taking the beverage regularly will help the improvement of the public health and the athleticism of the athletes. We hope that this result will be used as the basic resource in developing of the beverage with Artemisia capillaris in the near future.

The study was carried out to prepare spaghetti sauce with oyster (SSO) and the food components characteristics of the SSO were also compared to those of commercial spaghetti sauces (CSS). The optimal addition ratio of oyster for preparing SSO was 11% based on 100 g of SSO according to the results of organic acid content, Hunter color value, viscosity, and sensory evaluation. The reasonable $F_0$ value for the keeping storage of SSO was about 4 min. The proximate composition of SSO prepared under the optimal processing condition was 71.2% moisture, 2.8% protein, 6.9% crude lipid, and 3.2% crude ash. The results of sensory evaluation suggested that the quality of SSO was superior to that of CSS. However, there was no significant difference (p<0.05) in sensory evaluation on color between CSS and SSO. The total amino acid content (2,532.2 mg/100 g) of SSO was higher than that of CCS (2,305.7 mg/100 g). The contents of calcium and phosphorus of SSO were 25.7 mg/100 g and 48.7 mg/100 g, respectively. The calcium content/phosphorus content showed a suitable ratio for absorbing calcium. The total free amino content and the taste value were 1,040.2 mg/100 g and 151.26, respectively. The major taste-active amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

Nutritional compositions, volatile compounds, and sensory attributes of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were analyzed in order to examine its practical utilization as a food resource compared to commercial frozen mackerel. In the proximate analysis, lipid contents were $27.3{\pm}2.7%$ in grilled and fast-chilled mackerel. Palmitic acid was the most predominant fatty acid (20.68% and 18.88%), and the percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acid were higher than 40% in both. No benzopyrene was found in the grilled mackerel, and even grilling was employed at $260^{\circ}C$. For chemical stabilities, para-anisidine value (8.56 vs. 9.26) and acid value (2.96 vs. 3.35) in grilled mackerel were improved compared to those of commercial mackerel. Moreover, color index of grilled mackerel, a physiological property, showed greater lightness than commercial mackerel. Lastly, analysis of volatile compounds by gas chromatographic analysis and sensory tests by trained panels demonstrated higher potential for grilled mackerel as a highly marketable product compared to commercial mackerel. Taken altogether, the above results provide important preliminary results for utilization of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel as a quality food.

Gonadosomatic index (GSI), oogenesis and reproductive cycle of Glossaulax didyma were investigated by the cytological histological obserbations and morphometric data. Samples were collected monthly from the intertidal zone of Biin Bay, Seocheon, Korea, for one year. Monthly variations in the GSI showed similar patterns with gonadal development. In the early vitellogenic oocyte, the Golgi complex and mitochondria were invovled in the formation of lipid droplet and yolk precursor. In the late vitellogenic oocytes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and multivesicular bodies were involved in the formation of profeid yolk granules in the cytoplasm. A mature yolk granule was composed of three components: main body (central core), superficial layer, and the limiting membrane. The spawning season was from early June to late August, and the main spawning occurred between July and August when the seawater temperature was above $19^{\circ}C$. The female reproductive cycle can be classified into five successive stages: early active stage (December to February), late active stage (February to March), ripe stage (April to July), spawning stage (June to August), recovery stage (August to November). Fully mature oocytes were approximately $250-270{\mu}m$ in diameter.

Skin is the largest organ that protects the body from the external environmental factors such as smog, cigarette smoke, UV. Protective skin barrier is composed with keratinizational keratinocytes and intercellular lipids such as ceramides, cholesterols and fatty acids combined by the lamellar liquid crystal structure. In this research, we confirmed that the Jeju wild ginseng (JWG) extracts dose-dependently increased the expression of serine-palmitoyltransferase (SPT) protein which is associated with ceramide biosynthesis. In addition, emulsion containing 5% JWG extract was applied on skin of human volunteers for 2 weeks and then significantly reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) compared to that of control group. As a results, JWG extract increased the biosynthesis of ceramides that is the key components of the skin lipid through enhancing expression of SPT. In addition, JWG extract reduced TEWL resulting in improvement of skin barrier function. In this context, we suggest that JWG extract could be used as a skin barrier enhancer and moisturing agents in cosmetic fileds.

This study examined the neurotoxicity induced by lead acetate (LA) on cultured C6 glioma cells and the protective effects of Euphorbiae humifusae L. (EH) extract against LA-induced cytotoxicity. In this study, LA exhibited neurotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control, and was determined to be highly-toxic according to the toxic criteria. The $XTT_{50}$ value of LA was calculated at a concentration of $38.6{\mu}M$ after C6 glioma cells were incubated for 72 hours in the media containing $30{\sim}50{\mu}M$ of LA, respectively. In addition, LA-induced neurotoxicity was suggested to correlate with the level of oxidative stress because vitamin E, an antioxidant, increased the cell viability damaged by LA-induced cytotoxicity. The EH extract effectively prevented cell injury from LA-induced cytotoxicity via its antioxidative effects, such as inhibitory ability of lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase-like activity and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging activity. These antioxidative effects may result in components, such as polyphenol or flavonoids including gallic acid or quercetin. In conclusion, natural resources, such as EH extracts, may be a useful putative agent for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as lead neurotoxicity.

This study aimed to compare the quality characteristics of carrot juice based on different extraction methods such as centrifugation, single gear, and twin gear methods. Juice quality was evaluated based on extraction yield, nutritional components, and cloud stability. Twin gear extraction resulted in the highest extraction yield, and the highest mineral content. In addtion, ${\beta}$-carotene level higher than the recommended daily intake was obtained only in the carrot juice prepared using twin gear extraction of 100 g carrots. The minimum particle size was observed in twin gear extraction, followed by single gear extraction and centrifugation method. Therefore, twin gear extraction was selected as the optimal method, and changes in the antioxidant and metabolic activity of carrot juice were investigated using this method. Consequently, the carrot juice showed a higher lipid peroxidation inhibition rate than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (1 mg/mL), and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was increased upon digestion.

Objectives : Angelica Gigantis Radix is prescribed as the root of different Angelica species on the pharmacopoeia in Korea, Japan and China. Chemical components and their biological activities were also different according to their species. A study for the development of simple method to compare Angelica roots was needed. In order to classify them, the methods such as DNA sequencing analysis and taste sensor were applied to three Angelica species like Angelica gigas, Angelica acutiloba and Angelica sinensis. Methods : PCR amplification of intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region was performed using ITS1 and ITS4 primer from nine Angelica roots, and then nucleotide sequence was determined. Taste pattern of samples were measured using the taste-sensing system SA402B equipped with a sensing unit, which consists of artificial lipid membrane sensor probes of anionic bitterness, astringency, saltiness, umami, and cationic bitterness (C00, AE1, CT0, AAE, and AN0, respectively). Results : As a result of comparing the similarity of the ITS region sequences, A. sinensis was discriminated from the others (A. gigas and A. acutiloba). Equally this genetic result, A. gigas and A. acutiloba showed similar taste pattern as compared to A. sinensis. Sourness, bitterness, aftertaste of bitterness, astringency, and aftertaste of astringency of A. sinensis were significantly high as compared with A. gigas and A. acutiloba. In contrast, richness was significantly low. Conclusions : These taste pattern can be used as a way of comparison of Angelica species and this technic could be applied to establish a taste pattern marker for standardization of herbs in various purposes.
