Optimum conditions for hydrolysis of sunflower seed by pepsin and for plastein formation by pepsin were determined. The optimum conditions for hydrolysis of sunflower seed were pH 1.5, $45^{\circ}C$, enzyme concentration 2%, substrate concentration 2%, and hydrolysis time 24hr. The optimum conditions for sunflower seed-plastein formation were 50% substrate, pH 4.5, $50^{\circ}C$, 0.25% pepsin and 18hrs reaction time. To verify plastein fromation from concentrated prptic hydrolysate of sunflower seed, thin layer chromatography was performed. The TLC pattern of concentrated peptic hydrolysate of sunflower seed was different from that of its plastein. The TLC pattern of concentrated peptic bydrolysate of sunflower seed and at of its plastein indicated that plastein was different material from the hydrolysate.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk with different ratios of sunflower seeds (0, 3, 6, 9, 12%), stored over 3days. As amount of sunflower seed content increased, moisture contents decreased $41{\sim}36%$. The L-value decreased with increasing seed content, while a- and b-values increased. Mechanical evaluation revealed that hardness was highest at 0% and lowest at 12% seed content during the storage period. Adhesiveness was highest at 0% seed content, decreasing with increasing seed content on the first day, while cohesiveness did not show significant differences with or without seed content. Springiness increased with increasing seed content, while gumminess and chewiness decreased with increasing seed content. Results of sensory evaluations showed that color and flavor increased with addition of sunflower seed, with softness, moistness, chewiness and overall-acceptability being highest at 6% seed content. In conclusion, results prove that Sulgidduk with 6% of sunflower seed content is the best.

A study to compare the effects of supplementing Delonix elata, Grewia similis, Tamarindus indica and sunflower seed cake on intake and growth rate of dual-purpose goats fed low quality Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) hay was carried out. Twenty-eight male goats aged five to seven months (mean weight 12.93${\pm}$3.94 kg) were randomly allocated to four dietary groups in a completely randomised design. The diets were hay plus Grewia similis, hay plus Delonix elata, hay plus Tamarindus indica and hay plus sunflower seed cake. All diets were supplemented with maize bran. The experimental period was 90 days. Voluntary dry matter intake of the supplements was higher for Tamarindus indica (275.5 g/day) and Grewia similis (201.8 g/day) and lowest for sunflower seed cake (81g/day). Goats supplemented with Grewia similis had the highest hay intake (183.8 g/day) while those supplemented with sunflower seed cake had the lowest hay intake (98.9 g/day). Animals fed browse supplements gained significantly more weight (p<0.001) than those with sunflower seed cake. There were no significant differences in live weight change between goats fed the different browses. However, those fed Tamarindus indica gained an average of 20.79 g/d which was slightly higher than the gains for those on Grewia similis and Delonix elata while those fed sunflower seed cake lost weight. Correspondingly, goats supplemented with browse leaf meals had higher feed conversion ratios than those supplemented with sunflower seed cake and required 23.91 to 35.06 g DM of feed to produce one g of weight gain per day. In a separate study, the DM disappearance pattern indicated that Grewia similis and Delonix elata were highly degradable compared to Tamarindus indica. At 24 h of incubation, DM degradability was 627, 588 and 345 g/kg DM for Grewia similis, Delonix elata and Tamarindus indica, respectively. In another study in vivo DM digestibility ranged from 46.1% (for hay alone) to 56.2% (for hay plus Grewia similis). It was concluded that the addition of Tamarindus indica, Grewia similis and Delonix elata leaf meals to Cenchrus ciliaris hay resulted in increased total DM intake, in vivo digestibility and growth rate. Therefore, leaf meals of indigenous browses particularly Tamarindus indica and Grewia similis could be used as supplementary feeds for small ruminants grazing on poor quality roughages during the dry season rather than use of expensive, less effective and intermittently available sunflower seed cake.

$\beta$-1,4-Mannotriose was prepared b he enzymatic hydrolysis of white copra meal (WCM) and the subsequent elimination of monosaccharides from the resultant hydrolysate with a yeast. The enzyme system from sunflower seed hydrolyzed WCM and produced monosaccharides and $\beta$-1,4-mannotriose without other oligomers at the final stage of the reaction. WCM(50g) was hydrolyzed at 5$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.5 for 24 hr with crude enzyme solution (500 mL) from sunflower seed. By the elimination of monosaccharides from the hydrolysis products with a yeast (Candida glaebosa), 8.1 g of crystalline mannotriose was obtained without the use of chromatographic techniques. After 48hr of yeast cultivation, the total sugar content decreased from 4.6% to 3.5%, whereas the average degree of polymerization increased from 2.3 to 3.1.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the feeding mixture of linesed oil, rich in n-3 PUFA and the sunflower seed oil, rich in n-6 PUFA on the lipid metabolism in the dietary hypprlidemic rats. After male Sprague-Dawley rats were induced hyperlipidemia by feeding the diet containing lard, butter, and cholesterol for 3 weeks, then they were fed with the diet containing lard 3.0% and butter 12.0% for control, the mixture in different proportion of both linseed oil and sunflower seed oil, and antihyperlipidemic durgs for 2 weeks. Analysis of the lipid component and the fatty acid composition of the liver showed following results. Concentration s of the total cholesterol and phospholipid in liver were significantly higher in group 2 (olive oil 12.0%) and lower in the other groups than in the control group, especially lower in groups 3 (cholestyramine 2.0%) and 9 (sunflower seed oil 12.0%) . Concentration of triglyceride was lower in the other groups except group 4 (liparoid), especially lowe rin group 9 than in the control group. In the fatty acid composition of liver lipids, C18:2 was the major fatty acid. Contents of n-6 PUFA increased , while those of n-3 PUFA decreased in groups composition of the test lipids. From the data on concentration s of total cholesterol. Phospholipid and triglyceride in liver, we concluded that the feeding mixed with 3.0% lard and 12.0 % sunflower seed oil were most effective for the improvement of the live lipids. The fatty acid composition in liver lipids were affected by the fatty acid composition of the test lipids.

Including crude fat content, triacylglycerol species, tocopherols and phytosterols were analyzed in 8 kinds of nuts (sunflower seed, cashew nut, walnut, pistachio, pumpkin seed, ginkgo, hazel nut and pecan). The extracted crude fats showed 0.63~39.60 wt%, among which hazel nut showed the highest amount of fat content. Oleic acid (C18:1) was major fatty acids at sn-2 position in cashew nut, pistachio, hazel nut, and pecan while sunflower seed, walnut, and pumpkin seed showed linoleic acid (C18:2) as a major fatty acids at sn-2 position. Especially, ginkgo contained 10.72 wt% of vaccenic acid (C18:1-n7) at sn-2 position. The TAG species of 8 kinds of nuts were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC, from which PN value ranged 40~52. Among the analyzed nuts, higher content of tocopherols were observed in ginkgo (48.57 mg/100 g), sunflower seed (38.35 mg/100 g), and pumpkin seed(31.43 mg/100 g). Total phytosterols were observed with the range of 88.60~947.20 mg/100 g.
