The effect of duodenal infusion with feed oligo-peptide solution on portal absorption of amino acids was investigated in poultry under unanaesthetized conditions. Four peptide solutions were used in the experiment: enzymatic hydrolysates from fish meal, soybean meal, cottonseed meal and rapeseed meal proteins with average molecular weights less than 3,000 Da and 1,000 Da, respectively. Intestinal absorptions of these oligo-peptide solutions were compared by determining the concentration of free amino acid (FAA) in portal blood after the duodenal administrations of oligo-peptide solutions. Absorptive intensity and balance were used to estimate the intestinal absorption rate of amino acids. The absorptive intensities of amino acids were highest for the fish and soybean meal oligo-peptides. The ratios of amino acids absorbed in the portal blood from fish and soybean meal oligo-peptides were more similar to the composition of the infused amino acids than that observed from the cottonseed and rapeseed meal oligo-peptides. A positive correlation was found between absorption rate and proportion of PAA in the oligo-peptides. The higher absorption rate could be contributed to the higher proportion of peptide bound amino acids (PAA). The results suggest that fish and soybean meal protein are significantly more easily hydrolyzed into oligo-peptides (p<0.05) in the gastrointestinal tracts of poultry and as such can be utilized more effectively by body tissues.

Casein was hydrolyzed by alcalase to produce iron binding peptide (IBP). IBP was effectively separated from casein hydrolysates by immobilized $Fe^{3+}$ affinity chromatography and further purified by reverse phase chromatography. $25,\;50\;and\;100\;{\mu}g/mL$ of IBP solubilized $4.2,\;5.7\;and\;7.1\;{\mu}g$ of ferric at duodenum condition $(pH\;6,\;37^{\circ}C)$, respectively. According to the result of MALDI analysis, molecular weight of IBP was determined to 2,175 dalton. IBP was mainly composed of proline (24.5 mol%), lysine (15.7 mol%), and glutamine or glutamic acid (14.9 mol%) and its N-terminal sequence was Met-Ala-Pro-Lys-His. According to the information obtained from molecular weight, amino acids composition and N-terminal sequence of IBP, it was evident that IBP was from f102-119 of ${\beta}-casein$.

Amino acid composition of Makjang was determined by combined usage of ion exchanged resin and paper chormatography in the following states. a. A fraction soluble in water b. Hydrolysate of the whole Makjang c. Same as a. (p.p.t. formed by tungstic acid or trichloroacetic acid being removed) d. Hydrolysate of c. (T and TCA) By comparing amino acid composition of Makjang with that of its raw material, we found that decomposition of essential amino acids during brewing is slight. From the amino acid composition of a,b,c,d, we discussed the ratio of amino acid liberation during brewing and assumed that Makjang contains peptide-like substances composing of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

The biochemical properties of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and coat protein of the mild tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) mutant, Tw 333 are described. The molecular weight of the RNA calculated from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was $2.03\times10^6$ daltons. The molar ratio of the bases of the RNA was 25.4 guanine, 29.2 adenine, 17.5 cytosine and 27.9 uracil in moles. The hyperchromicity on Tw 333-RNA by thermal denaturation was $25.1\%$, indicating Tm value of $47^{\circ}C$. The virus coat protein migrated as a single component in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and had a molecular weight of 17,500 daltons. A total of 158 amino acid residues are present in the protein. Separation of the tryptic peptides by electrophoresis and chromatography yielded ninhydrin-positive compounds. The biochemical properties of RNA and coat protein of the mild mutant we very similar to those of wild type of TMV-OM strain, but some difference between the strains were observe in the base composition, hyperchromicity, amino acid composition and tryptic peptide map.

The large-scale preparation method for black soybean peptide (BSP; about 70% less than 10,000 Da; highly enriched with glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and arginine) was developed, and its effect on weight reduction and lipid profiles in rats was investigated. Sprague-Dawleymale rats were assigned to four dietary groups (high-fat diets containing 0, 2, 6, and 10% BSP) and fed four weeks to examine the effects of BSP. During the experiment, food intake was measured every two days and body weight was monitored two times a week. After the supplementation of BSP, liver and adipose tissues (epididymal, retroperitoneal and perirenal adipose tissue) in the rats were weighted and the lipid profiles in serum, liver, and feces were analyzed. At the results of body weight gain, liver and epididymal adipose tissue weight, BSP groups were more decreased than HF group (0% BSP), with greater decreases at higher BSP levels. The same patterns were shown in lipid profiles of serum, as BSP was increased, triglyceride and total cholesterol concentration decreased. The serum HDL-cholesterol level was increased with increasing at BSP levels. Total cholesterol concentration of liver and feces were decreased and increased, respectively, as BSP increased. The results confirm that BSP is involved in reducing the body weight and the improvement of lipid composition in serum and liver of rats and that BSP can be applied in weight reduction in the food products industry.

For the purpose of supplying the information to improve the acceptability of soy paste as the condi-ment, the changes of peptide were determined. The results were as follows; Average peptide length were decreased. It was 102 at 0 day, 15 at 10 day and 4.1 at 180 day. Peptide fraction were the same as in 60 day and 180 day. Low molecular weight peptide were not changed greatly during fermention. Peptide identified in 180 day fermentation were Ala-Ser, Gly-Glu, Glu-Ser, Asp-Glu, Asp- Tyr, Asp-Ala-Ser, Ala-Ser-Glu, Glu-Ser-Ala, and Ala-Lys-Met. In the characteristics of bitter peptide in 180 day fermentation, soy paste itself didn't show bitter taste', solvent extration fraction I'showed bitter taste. After gel chromatography, fraction I, fraction II and fraction III were obtained and fraction II were bitter peptide of low molecular weight. After gel chromatography', solvent extration fraction 2'(water extration) were divided into fraction IV, V, VI,VII and VIII. Fraction IV, V and VI showed bitter taste. Amino acids composition of the fractions showing bitter taste were like that; fr. 1: Glu- (Asp, Pro, Val, lie or Leu)-Met fr. II Pro-(Glu, Val, Phe)-lle or Leu fr. IV: Glu-(Asp, Ala, Tyr, Leu of lie)-Phe fr. V: Ala-(Met, Glu, Pro)-lle or Leu fr. VI: Asp-(Phe, Ser, fly)-Val.

Three strains of W isolated from tobacco, tomato and Pepper plants in Korea were characterized based on biological response, serological relationship, and peptide mapping of the capsid Proteins. The strains designated as TMV-common, TMV-Pepper, and TMV-tomato could be distinguishable by different visual symptoms on 3 varieties of tobacco, one variety of tomato and Pepper for each among 27 plant specieces. Serological relationships were examined by agar gel double diffusion test. Only traceable or weak reaction was observed in the incompatible antigen-antibody combinations. The Pepper strain, however, showed trace in reaction with other two antisera. Peptide maps of the capsid proteins digested by V8 protease or by trypsin were also distinguishable, suggesting differences in composition and/or sequence of the amino acids among the strains.

Chemical studies of nitrogen compounds of Panax ginseng seem relatively rare, Probably due to the isolation difficulties, subsequently the investigations of biological activities are little. The experimental conditions were established for highly complete extraction of peptides (basic, acidic and neutral) from Panax ginseng. This task was achieved by applying the follow isolation procedure: 1 , the sequential extraction with water, 0.1% TFA in 20% acetonitril and buffer pH 6.5 (water-pyridine-acetic acid 100:3:900) : 2, fractionation by ultrafiltration : 3, n-butanol extraction 4, cation- and anion-exchange chromatography : 5, chromato-electrophoresis. The comparison of red ginseng (xylem Sl pith part) and red ginseng inside white (xylem Sc pith part) was also provided. To analyze the peptide mixture the chromato-electrophoresis method of separation was applied. Optimal conditions for peptides mapping of sample were explored. Our experiments revealed the quantitative difference of peptide between xylem & pith and phloem & cortex part. We have also found the qualitative difference in the composition of polypeptides between normal red ginseng (xylem Sc pith part) and red ginseng inside-white (xylem St pith part)
