Microcapsules have been widely used in cosmetics and pharmacology as controlled delivery devices of various active materials. Chitosan is the second most plentiful natural biopolymer with biocompatibility and nontoxicity. The chitosan microcapsules were prepared by the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion method using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. Span80 was used as an emulsifier, and mineral oil was used as a medium material. Perfectly spherical microcapsules were obtained in the size range of $2{\sim}10{\mu}m$. The effects of emulsifier concentration and stirring speed on the average particle size and distribution were investigated. Encapsulation and release behavior of the microcapsules with different amount of the crosslinking agent (glutaraldehyde), different chitosan contents and different emulsifier concentration conditions were also investigated. The release rate of riboflavin was controlled by the crosslinking density of the chitosan and amount of emulsifier in the preparation of the microcapsule.

Cultural conditions for $\alpha$-D-Glucosidase Inhibitor production from Streptomyces sp. YS-221-B isolated from soil arid identified as Streptomyces flauovirens or a subspecies of it were investigated. When the strain was cultured in a flask containing 2% glucose, 0.3% asparagine, 0.0002% riboflavin, 0.05% $K_2$HPO$_4$, 0.1% MgSO$_4$.7$H_2O$, 0.05% NaCl, pH 8.0 at 3$0^{\circ}C$, maximum production of the inhibitor was obtained after 8-9 days of cultivation. Sugar alcohols such as mannitol, i-inositol, erythritol as carbon sources, asparagine and beef extract as nitrogen sources were favorable for inhibitor production. Among vitamins, riboflavin, p-aminobenzoic acid, pyridoxamine and folic acid promoted the production of inhibitor, but depressed by the addition of hesperidine, and also depressed by cobalt, lithium and ferrous salts.

Effect of ripening methods and harvesting time on vitamin content of 5 tomato varieties was investigated in 1978 and 1979. Ascorbic acid content in the breaker ripened tomatoes was significantly higher than that in the vine ripened tomatoes, and the result was consistent for two consecutive years. Ascorbic acid content in the vine ripened tomatoes markedly increased as the season progressed, early harvested tomatoes containing significantly less ascorbic acid. Carotene content was not significantly affected by the ripening method. Higher carotene content, however, was observed for tomatoes harvested in the late season. This result could indicate the effect of temperature for carotenogenesis around the harvest time. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in the vine ripened tomatoes were significantly higher than those in the breaker ripened tomatoes in the 1978 season, but these differences were not observed in the 1979 season. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in the vine ripened tomatoes decreased considerably as the season progressed. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in tomatoes harvested in the early season were significantly higher than those in the mid and late seasons.

This study was conducted to develop semi-solid infant foods using pumpkins. Purees were made from pumpkin and sweet-pumpkin, and were manufactured with blending, steaming or blanching. The moisture content of sweet-pumpkin puree was lower than pumpkin puree, but viscosity, Hunter\`s L, a, b values, $\beta$-carotene and riboflavin contents were higher. Steaming puree from sweet-pumpkin had the highest score in overall-preference and was selected as the ingredient far infant foods. In amylogram, gelatinization temperature was decreased and amylograph viscosity was increased, as the content of modified starch became high. Semi-solid infant floods were prepared with steaming puree from sweet-pumpkin, modified corn starch, rice powder and dairy products such as milk, whole milk powder and skim milk powder. After sterilization of infant foods, Hunter\`s color values were little changed. And the viscosity of infant foods were increased generally, but kept in 3% modified starch group. Sensory evaluation results showed that sweet-pumpkin puree 40%, rice flour 7%, skim milk powder 3% and water 50% was optimum ratio of infant foods.

The composition of each diet was indicated in Table 3. The allowance' of each nutrient per head per day in each diet were as follows. a) In the rice diet; protein:139.5 g (animal source:64.6 g, vegetable source:74.9 g), fat:25.3 g (animal source:11.3 g, vegetable source:14.0 g), carbohydrate: 644.0 g, calcium:982.3 mg, phosphorus: 2369.2mg, thiamine:2.1 mg, riboflavin: 1.6 mg, and 3211 Cal. b) In the general mixed diet; protein: 97.4g (animal source: 10.5 g, vegetable source: 86.9 g), fat:40.3 g (animal source:7.1 g, vegetable source:33.2 g), carbohydrate:620.7 g, calcium:887.1m g, phosphorus:2200.8m g, thiamine: 1.8m g, riboflavin:1.9m g, and 3158 Cal. c) In the high animal protein diet; protein: 135.6 g (animal source:68.8 g, vegetable source:66.8 g), fat:32.5g (animal source:17.9 g, vegetable source:14.6 g), carbohydrate:930.9 g, calcium: 626.0 mg, phosphorus: 1998.9 mg, thiamine: 1.5 mg, riboflavin: 1.5 mg, and 3194 Cal. The absorption rates of protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phospherus, thiamine and riboflavin in each diet were observed. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The absorption rates of protein and fat in the rice diet were 88.t % and 71.3.%. 2. The absorption rates of protein and fat in the general mixed diet were 83.4% and 86.4%. 3. The absorption rates of protein and fat in the high animal protein diet were 86.8% and 82.4%. 4. The nitrogen balances in the rice, the general mixed and the high animal protein diet groups were +5.7g, +2.3g and +4.0g respectively. 5. The absorption rates of carbohydrate in each diet were all above 95 % and so seemed to be almost completely absorbed except the cellulose in the diets. 6. The calory utilization rates in each diet were all above 93 %. 7. The minimum absorption rates of protein, fat and calory were 83.8%, 63.3%, and 89.7% in the rice diet, 80.0%, 80.9% and 85.9%, in the general mixed diet and 83.6%, 75.7% and. 89.3 % in the high animal protein diet respectively. Therefore, it is assumed that these data might be significant in practical use. 8. The protein absorption rates of the rice diet (88.1 %) was better than that of the general mixed diet (83.4 %). 9. The fat absorption rates of the general mixed diet and the high animal protein diet (86.4% and 82.4%) were signficantly better than that of the rice diet (71.3%). 10. The calcium absorption rates of each diet, rice diet, the general mixed diet and the high animal protein diet were 41.6%, 36.0%, and 27.7%, respectively. 11. The phosphorus absorption rates of each diet were 51.4%, 56.0% and 52.3%, respectively.12. The phosphorus absorption rate seemed better than that of calcium. 13. The thiamine absorption rates of each diet seemed 27.0 %, 42.9 % and 29.5 %, respectively. 14. The riboflavin absorption rates of each diet seemed above 30.6%, 27.1%, and 39.3% respectively. 15. The excretion amounts of thiamine or riboflavin were much more than the amounts ingested of the both vitamins. Therefore, the certain amount of both vitamins seemed to synthesize in the intestine.

This study was done to evaluate the nutritional status and the desirable time and period for making dietary records in male high school Taekwondo athletes. Nutrient and flood intake was investigated using dietary record method during usual training (UT, for 29 days) and special training (ST, for 17 days) periods in nine Taekwondo athletes. Nutrient intake by 7-d and 3-d dietary record were compared to the standard nutrient intake, which was computed from dietary record during total period of UT or ST. Total mean energy intake was 2278 kcal, 84% of RDA, and mean intakes of riboflavin, Ca and Fe were less than 77% of RDA. Mean intakes of energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, cholesterol, thiamin, riboflavin, and P decreased during ST (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Mean intakes of vegetables and grains ware the highest in the two periods and following were beverages and instant floods in UT, and meats and fruits in ST. During ST, mean intakes of mushrooms, meats and their products, and instant floods decreased, and sugars and sweets increased (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). The contribution of grains and their products, instant floods, and meats and their products to mean intakes of energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat were high. In snacks, the contribution of instant floods, breads and confections and beverages was high. During UT, cholesterol intake at weeks 1 and 3, and intakes of protein, fat, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin at week 4 by 7-d dietary record were different from their standard intakes (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Intakes of VA, Ca and Fe at week 1, and intakes of carbohydrates, cholesterol rind crude fiber at week 4 by 3-d dietary record were different from their standard intakes (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). During ST, VC intake at week 5, and energy intake from carbohydrate and cholesterol intake at week 6 by 7-d dietary record were different from their standard intakes (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Cholesterol intake at week 7, and energy intake from carbohydrates and fat, and intakes of protein, fat, cholesterol and riboflavin by 3-d dietary record were different from their standard intakes (p < 0.05 o. p < 0.01). In conclusion, empty-calorie floods can be a main source of diet and snacks for Taekwondo athletes, and education about desirable nutrients and floods intakes is needed to help them control their weight. When investigating the nutritional status of Taekwondo athletes in the future, the 7-day or 3-day dietary record is desirable provided they are conducted in the milddle of each period artier distinguishing UT from ST period.

This study was conducted to investigate the differences in daily nutrient intakes, dietary habits and nutrition knowledge between male and female college students. Male undergraduate students 004 subjects) and female undergraduate students (229 subjects) , enrolled at H University in Daejeon, were recruited for this study. The mean age of the subjects was 22.9 year in male and 20.4 year in female students. Daily intakes of energy and nutrients were calculated from the records of one day of dietary food intakes by 24-hour recall method, and general information, dietary habits and attitudes, food intake frequency and food preferences and knowledge for food and nutrition were surveyed through a questionnaire. About $70.1\%$ of male and $66.1\%$ of female students were in the normal range of BMI (18.5 - 23), and $25.2\%$ of male students were over-weighted in contrast to $27.7\%$ of female students were underweight. Males and females were taking $77.2\%$ and $77.9\%$ of RDA for energy, respectively, and $54.8\%$ of male and $48.0\%$ of female students were taking energy under $75\%$ of RDA. Many of them showed deficient intakes of calcium, iron, vitamin A and riboflavin. Average of MAR was 0.75 in male and 0.72 in female students. NAR for calcium, iron, vitamin A and riboflavin in male students were 0.55, 0.69,0.75 and 0.61, respectively, compared to 0.53, 0.51, 0.70 and 0.67 in female students. The nutrients, which have INQ less than 1, were calcium and riboflavin in male, compared to calcium, iron, and riboflavin in female students. There were no gender differences in meal regularity and meal skipping rates, but female students showed higher rates of skipping dinner than males (p < 0.001) About $50.8\%$ of female students were ingesting snacks 1 - 2 time/day, compared to $27.1\%$ of male students. For the food intake frequency, fruit group was significantly eating more for female than male students (p< 0.001) Though female students got higher scores for nutritional knowledge test (p < 0.001) than male students, they did not show better dietary habits or dietary attitudes than male students actually. Therefore, a more active and actual education program accustomed to the different genders and ages with focus on real changing of dietary behaviors needs to be developed and run in schools and local departments.

Korean Paldal variety rice, harvested November and hulled into polished and unpolished forms in April, 1969, packed in the straw bags and the kraft paper bags. Being irradiated with 10, 30 and 50 krad ${\gamma}-ray$, the samples were stored at room temperature for testing infestation, uric acid content, fat acidity, riboflavin content and panel test. The results are as follows. 1. The kraft bag lot with polished rice or unpolished rice manifested the apparent disinfestation with $30{\sim}50$ krad irradiation. On the other hand, in the straw bag lot the irradiation effects on disinfestation were weakened through summer on account of the second contamination. 2. The changes of uric acid content in rice were proportional to the state of infestation. 3. Fat acidity, which has a close relation with the rancidity of fat in rice, increased during storage and showed some increasing tendency in the irradiated lot with $30{\sim}50$ krad. 4. In comparison with the control lot, riboflavin content was not affected by 50 krad irradiation. 5. With 10, 30 and 50 krad dose, the irradiated lot should have no significant difference in taste, odour, color and viscosity for the panel test.
