The levels of reducing sugars, organic acids and fatty acids, known as precursors of major flavors induced from dried sellfish, were analyzed to investigate their behaviors during drying process. Free reducing sugar contents were markedly decreased in all samples by boiling, Its content in Blue mussel and Short-necked calm samples significantly decreased after drying process. Among the eight different organic acids from blue mussel, Short-necked calm and Pacific oyster samples, succinic acid in blue mussel and short-necked calm samples was measured with $74.9\%\;and\;67.4\%$, respectively. In the sample of Pacific oyster, succinic acid content was found to be $38.4\%$, but pyroglutamic acid content was the highest level with $41.6\%$. Contents of organic acids with exception succinic acid were significantly reduced in all three samples of sun-dried or hot-air dried. The content of succinic acid in the samples of sun-dried and hot-air dried pacific oyster reduced to $53.0\%\;and\;44.2\%$, respectively, but relatively small decrease $(29.0\%\;and\;10.0\%)$ was observed in sun-dried and hot-air dried short-necked calm samples, respectively. Content of polar lipid with the major fatty acids profile of C16:0, C16:1, C20:5 and C22:6 was consisted of $59.1\%,\;66.7\%\;and\;42.4\%$, respectively, in blue mussel, short-necked calm and pacific oyster samples and the content of polyene fatty acids was appeared to be $40.5\%,\;48.6\%\;and\;48.9\%$, respectively. Relatively high peroxide value in all boiled-dried products samples was found to be $41.64\~86.80\;meq/kg$ sample. Carbonyl value in boiled-dried products samples was found to be $15.55\~27.99\;meq/kg$, but its value in broiled products samples was significantly high level of $127.6\~136.5\;meq/kg$.

Soybean has been favored by many Thai people and it has been prepared by numerous different methods. Collected samples are as follows: Thua-nao paste from Chiangrai province, dried Thua-nao for Jatujak Market, Bangkok, 3 types of commercial soybean paste, soybean sauce and 2 types of fermented soybean curd cakes with other ingredients. Moisture contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 68.5 and $7.6\%$, respectively; therefore the shelf-life of dried Thua-nao can be extended to 1 year with proper packaging. The remainder of the soy foods had moisture contents of 55.4 to $64.4\%$. Fat contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 7.4 and $19.7\%$, respectively, whereas other samples contained less than $3\%$. Dried Thua-nao had the highest CHO (carbohydrates) content $(37.4\%);$ in contrast, soybean sauce contained only $4.5\%$. Calcium content was highest in dried Thua-nao followed by fresh Thua-nao; the other fermented soy foods had less than 44.7 mg/l00 g. Salt was added to samples other than Thua-nao resulting in high Na contents. Free and total daidzein contents of dried Thua-nao were 355 and 676 ug/g; similarly free and total genistein contents were 293 and $616.5\;\mug/g$, respectively.

Dried alaska pollack is one of the representatives among dried marine fish and shellfish products in our country. This study was performed to obtain the basic data about the effect of drying method on the formation of N-nitrosamine and its precursor to ensure the safety of dried alaska pollack. The contents of nitrate and nitrite were detected 1.5 and <1.0 mg/kg in raw samples, and $3.0\~4.2,\;1.4\~2.7mg/kg$ in dried products, respectively. There was no significant change of betaine contents during drying while TMAO decreased, TMA and DMA increased in alaska pollack during d교ing. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was only detected in alaska pollack and its dried products, and recovery from above samples spiked with $10{\mu}/kg$ for N-nitrosodipropylamine was $87.2\~107.4\%$. The levels of NDMA were found to be $2.8{\mu}/kg$ on an average in raw samples, but the levels of NDMA increased remarkably during drying of alaska pollack and its content in dried products was $8.7\~51.4{\mu}g/kg$. Regardless of drying methods, NDMA tend to increased in dried products, and its contents were 15.5 times higher in hot-air dried than raw samples, 9.0 times in sun dried and 4.4 times in freeze dried products. less NDMA was produced in the freeze dried products, so it is believed that freeze drying method is effective to decrease the NDMA levels in the dried products of alaska pollack.

The quality of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by cold osmotic dehydration using a high osmotic pressure resin during storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ was evaluated. The moisture contents in salted and semi-dried mackerel decreased in. range of 4 during storage. The brown pigment formation content and peroxide value of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by osmotic dehydration were more lower than those of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by traditional drying methods such as sun-drying, hot-air drying and cold air drying. The viable cell count and histamine contents of cold osmotic dried products were much lower and revealed a tendency to increase during storage, but even these values after storage of 15 days showed that the salted and semi-dried mackerel was safety in respect of food sanitation. The ratio of saline soluble nitrogen to total nitrogen in cold osmotic dried products were higher than that of traditional dried products during storage. Judging from the results of chemical and sensory evaluation, shelf-life of salted and semi-dried mackerel by cold osmotic drying were more longer than that of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by traditional drying.

This investigation was designed to determine the influence of drying methods on the free amino acids and free sugars in red pepper and to study the browning mechanism of brown-colored red pepper. Three different drying methods were employed: 1) Sun-drying at $25{\sim}28^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, 2) Drying in oven at $60^{\circ}C$ for 49 hours, and 3) Drying in oven at $90^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours. Dried and ground peels were used for the analysis of free amino acids and free sugars. The results were as follows; 1. Sixteen kinds of amino acids i.e. asparagine, methionine, and cystine etc. were identified. Total amino acid content of the sun-dried sample was not different from that of the fresh sample, but the samples dried at $60^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ in the oven were decreased to 24.9% and 67.4% respectively. Of amino acids identified, methionine, lysine and aspartic acid were decreased in all treatments. Especially, methionine ana aspartic acid were decreased rapidly to 71.8% and 73.3% , respectively. 2. Three kinds of free sugars i.e. glucose, fructose and sucrose were identified. The total content of free sugars was significantly decreased in each treatment. Among the reducing sugars, glucose was rapidly decreased; 65.9% for the glucose of sample dried at $90^{\circ}C$ in the oven. 3. At the higher drying temperature, the darker red color was found. Brown-color appeared at $90^{\circ}C-drying$ showed appreciable losses in carotenoid content, but the major color seems to be due to the large increase in browning compounds. 4. It was assumed that increased browning compounds of red pepper were due to the Maillard reaction which is a nonenzymatic browning process.

In the present work, the quality stability of sun-dried Alaska pollack, Theragra chalcogramma, was discussed in the aspects of non-enzymatic discoloration as a function of relative humidity during storage at room temperature$(20^{\circ}C)$. Frozen Alaska pollack was dressed, filleted, dried for 48 hours in the open air, and finally stored in cylindrical acrylic chambers which contained saturated specific salt solutions proposed by Rockland(1960) for humidity control. The color development of the product was analyzed by spectrophotometry at 10 day-intervals during the storage. Lipid oxidation was measured as TBA value at wavelength of 538nm. And browning pigments were extracted, divided into two fractions and measured at 460nm: one was chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v)soluble fraction attributed to lipid oxidation, and the other was water dialyzed fraction caused by so called Maillard reaction. The TBA value showed a maximum on 30 day storage, hereafter, intended to decrease gradually. On the other hand, the rate of brown pigment development in water dialyzed fractions as well as in chloroform-methanol soluble fractions was lower at 34 to 45%RH than at any other case, and propagation of lipid oxidation was also diminished at the same levels of humidity. From the facts described previously, it is recognized that storage at 34 to 45%RH provides higher quality stability for sun-dried Alaska pollack.

In order to study the optimal conditions of processing and storage for boiled and dried anchovy (Engraulis japonica) with high protein digestibility, the contents of trypsin indigestible substrate (TI) and in vitro apparent protein digestibility were determined. Peroxide value (PoV), TBA number and nonenzymatic brown pigments, that accounted for important antinutritional factors, were also measured and confirmed the relationship between those factors and formation of TI or in vitro protein apparent digestibility. The results were as follows; Samples boiled for 5 minutes showed the lower content of TI than the other samples boiled for 0.5 min. or 1 min. Hot air dried products had a lower TI content in comparison with the other dried ones such as sun dried or freeze dried products. It was revealed that the lower temperature ($8{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) did not affect to a great degree of forming TI and falling in vitro digestibility comparing to high temperature ($26{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) during storage. The lowest TI content (0.173 mg/g solid) was noted in the samples for 5 minutes and then sun drying after 56 days storage at $9{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. A rapid decrease of in vitro protein digestibility occurred within 0.5 min. of boiling and showed the value $85.3\%$. Freeze dried samples possessed the highest in vitro protein digestibility ($85.9\%$), when compared to sun dried or hot air dried products. Fat oxidation and nonenzymatic browning were proceeded with the various boiling times, drying methods and storing temperatures. It was noted that boiling for 5 minutes and freeze drying accelerate the fat oxidation significantly. More nonenzymatic brown pigments was developed in samples boiled for shorter time (0.5 min.) and that stored at high temperature ($26{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) than the other products. Therefore, fat oxidation and nonenzymatic browning assumed to be a major inhibitory reaction in enzyme digestion and those might be an important role in forming TI in boiled and dried anchovy products during processing and storage.

The properties of lipids in cap and stalk of 'Koshin' (Shiitake, Lentinus edodes, withxpanded cap) were studied. It was also carried out that the characteristics of lipids in fresh 'Donko'(unexpanded cap) and the changes of lipids in those samples by various drying process. The total lipid (TL) content in the cap and stalk of 'Koshin' were 4.58% and 2.65% respectively. It was found that the contents of neutral lipids (NL, $46.7{\sim}48.8%$) and phospholipids (PL, $42.0{\sim}43.8%$) were high, while that of glycolipids(GL, $9.2{\sim}9.5%$) was low. The main lipid in NL was triacylglycerol (TG, $58.0{\sim}58.5%$) followed by sterolester (SE, $16.9{\sim}17.4%$), sterol (ST, $15.6{\sim}16.4%$), diacylglycerol (DG, $5.8{\sim}6.0%$) and monoacylglcerol (MG, $1.1{\sim}1.3%$). The main lipids in PL was phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE, $58.3{\sim}6.02%$) followed by phosphatidyl choline (PC, $17.3{\sim}19.5%$), cardiolipin (CA, $12.8{\sim}14.0%$) and lyso-phophatidyl choline (LPD, $4.8{\sim}6.6%$). Fatty acid composition was significantly different among TL, NL, GL and PL contained in cap and stalk. The main fatty acids was $C_{18:2}$ followed by $C_{16:0}$ and $C_{18:1}$ acids. The TL contents in cap and stalk of fresh 'Donko' were 3.7% and 2.5%. The changes of TL contents, PoV by drying were not almost observed. AV(acid value) of TL in the sun dried samples was a little lower than those of the fresh and hot air dried samples, on the contrary NL content in TL of the former was a little higher than those of the latters. The main lipid in NL of the three samples was TG followed by SE, ST, DG, MG and free fatty acid (FFA). In the above lipids, FFA contents in NL of the sun dried sample was a little higher than those of the fresh and hot air dried samples, but TG content in NL of former was a little lower than those of the latters. The main lipid in GL of the three samples was digalactosydiglycerol (DGDG) followed by acylsterylglucoside(ASG), sterylglucoside (SG), monogalactosyldiglycerol (MGD) and cerebroside (CER). Influence of drying on these lipid content were nol almost recognized. The main lipid in PL of the three samples was PE followed by PC, CA, LPC and phosphat idyl serine (PS). In the above lipids, PE and PC contents in PL of the sun dried one were a little lower than those of the fresh and hot air dried ones. The main fatty acid in TL, NL, GL and PL of the three samples was $C_{18:2}$ followed by $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1}$. The $C_{18:2}$ acid contents of the sun dried sample was a little lower than those of the fresh and hot air dried ones, while $C_{16:0}$ content of the former was a little higher than those of the former was a little lower than those of the latters.

In this study, we investigated maximum yield of radical scavenging activity (RSA) using each of various extraction solvents and procedure from noni friut (Morinda citrifolia). Noni fruits were either sun-dried (FS) or hot-air dried (FO) at $60^{\circ}C$ after steam blanching. For optimum aqueous extraction, noni fruits should be sun dried and autoclave extraction time should not be over 30 min to produce extraction with high RSA with low cost. In case of 50% ethanol extraction, reflux extracts of FS and FO resulted in $IC_{50}$ of 1.92 mg/mL and 3.06 mg/mL at 8 hr. When $IC_{50}$ values were lower than 5 mg/mL, coefficient of correlation was 0.71 indicating that 71% of the phenolic antioxidants in noni fruits were accounted for the activity by scavenging free DPPH. However, coefficient of correlation significantly decreased to 0.63 over $IC_{50}$ values of 5 mg/mL. Autoclave extraction contained chlorogenic acid of $14.69 \;{\mu}g/mL$ and scopoletin of $3.86 \;{\mu}g/mL$. Reflux extraction showed all three compounds, chlorogenic acid ($26.19 \;{\mu}g/mL$), quercetin ($19.59 \;{\mu}g/mL$), and scopoletin ($17.4 \;{\mu}g/mL$). Therefore, the result of this study indicated that the potential antioxidant activities and functional values were obtained significantly with reflux extraction from noni fruit.
