  • The antithiamin activity(ATA) and tannin content were determined for 10 kinds of herbal teas popular in Korea, also on the urinary thiamin excretion and growth rate of rats provided with certain of these teas replacing water. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The tea bag and IT-A had higher ATA (mg thiamin destroyed/g tea), while GT-A and Omiza-tea had lower activity. Different brands of the teas refulted in extremelw different ATA ana tannin content. 2) The body meight gain in the feeding groups of GT-B and GE-B were a little lower than that of the feeding groups of water, LT and IT-A, but these differences were not significant. 3) The food consumption, the food efficiency and the drink consumption of all groups for the total feeding term were not significant. 4) The thiamin excretion was higher in the LT, GT-B groups but lower in the If-A group -when compared to the water group, none of these results were significant.

  • 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.

  • Nutritional requirements for the growth of Flammulina velutipes were studied. Mannitol, glutamic acid and ammonium nitrate were chosen for the maximum mycelial growth when various carbon and nitrogen sources tested. Optimum C : N ratio for the mycelial growth was 20 : 1. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was selected among the phosphate sources. Magnesium sulphate and thiamine HCl stimulate mycelial growth. Final compositions of optimized chemically defined medium were 1.5% mannitol, 0.082% $NH_4NO_3$, 0.312% glutamic acid, 0.25% $KH_2PO_4$, 0.06% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;and\;0.3\;{\mu}g/l$ thiamin HCl. This medium not only support mycelial growth but also induce fruit body formation.

  • BACKGROUNDS/OBJECTIVES: The effects of malnutrition on growth of toddlers and preschoolers by socioeconomic status are not well known. This study aimed to examine the effects of dietary intake on growth outcomes in toddlers and preschoolers by household income level. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study population was a total of 1,687 children aged 1 to 5 years that participated in the KNHANES from 2009 to 2011. Growth of children was assessed by height for age (HFA) and weight for height (WFH). Children were classified into three groups according to children's HFA and WFH compared to the $10^{th}$ and $90^{th}$ percentiles of the 2007 Korean Children and Adolescent Growth Standard. Average monthly household income was divided into quartile groups. Dietary intake data were obtained by using the one day 24-hr recall method. Risks of inadequate intake of nutrients and unfavorable growth were estimated by using a multiple logistic regression model adjusted for sex, age, region, and energy intake. RESULTS: The low HFA group (<$10^{th}$ percentile) had significantly lower intakes of energy, carbohydrate, and thiamin as compared with the high group (${\geq}90^{th}$ percentile). For WFH status, vitamin C intake was lower in the low group than in the high group. Household income level was related to WFH status but not HFA. Children from lower income households were more likely to have high WFH than those from higher income households (P for trend = 0.038). Household income status was also significantly related with risk of inadequate intake of micronutrients such as thiamin (P for trend = 0.032) and vitamin C (P for trend = 0.002), showing higher odds of inadequate intakes in children from lower income households. CONCLUSIONS: Children from lower income households were prone to be overweight and to have inadequate intakes of micronutrients such as thiamin and vitamin C. To reduce nutritional and health disparities, collective action in the public sector is required from early life.

  • These experiment were conducted to study the effects of various vitamins and amino acids upon the growth of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 and the results obtained were as follows. (1) As a growth factor, inositol, ribofavin, niacin and para amino benzoic acid were not required. (2) Though biotin, thiamin and Ca-pantothenate were adaptably required, vitamins required in absolute were not existed. (3) The growth rate of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 in the deficient group of biotin, thiamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin and Ca-pantothenate were more decreased on the media containing 26% of NaCl than containing none of NaCl in the earlystage of cultivation, while the growth rate showed the opposition tendency in the latter term of cultivation. (4) As an amino acid, methionine, tryptophan, serine, threonine, cystine, glycine, leucine and valine showed systematically the effects of addition in the compound media containing $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as a nitrogen sources. (5) The growth rate of Saccharomyces rouxii T9 in the addition group of histidine, lycine, arginine, aspartic acid, proline and tyrosine were somewhat decreased on the media containing higher concentration of NaCl comparison with none NaCl media in the early stage of cultivation, showing the similar or increasing tendency in the latter term of cultivation.

  • The effects of cook-chill and sous-vide upon the vitamin retention and acceptance of soybean sprout muchim and soybean sprouts soup were evaluated. When the sous-vide packaged soybean sprout muchim was stored at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 1, 3, and 5 days, the contents of thiamin, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid were not changed. However, the nutrient contents were changed in sous-vide packaged soybean sprouts soup stored at the same conditions at each storage time up to 5 days. The contents of thiamin, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid showed the lowest level at 5 days after storage. Regarding customer's acceptance of sous-vide packaged soybean sprout muchim compared to the freshly cooked one, the former had a higher score in taste and color than the latter. Overall acceptability of the sous-vide soybean sprout muchim had a lower score than that of the freshly cooked one, but the sensory characteristics did not show any significant difference between them. The freshly cooked soybean sprout soup had higher scores in taste, flavor, color, texture, appearance, and overall acceptability than the son-vide packaged soybean sprout soup. The former, however, had a significantly higher score in color (p<0.05) and the overall acceptability (p<0.01) than the latter.

  • Objective: Information regarding the vitamin content of silage is limited. This study investigated the changes in the vitamin content of alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages with or without a lactic acid bacterial inoculant. Methods: Alfalfa at the early flowering stage and Chinese leymus at the full-bloom stage were harvested. The treatments for each forage type were control (deionized water only) and $1{\times}10^6$ colony-forming units Lactobacillus plantarum (LP)/g fresh matter. After 45 days of ensiling, all silages were sampled for evaluating the vitamin content, fermentation quality and chemical composition. Results: The LP inoculant decreased the pH value and ammonia nitrogen content of the alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages and significantly (p<0.05) increased the lactic acid, acetic acid concentrations and Flieg's points. Prior to ensiling, the levels of five B-group vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine) and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in alfalfa were significantly (p<0.01) higher than those in Chinese leymus. Ensiling decreased the levels of the five B-group vitamins in both alfalfa and Chinese leymus while increasing the ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content of Chinese leymus. The thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid levels in the LP-treated silage were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those in the untreated silage for the alfalfa and Chinese leymus. The ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content in the LP-treated alfalfa silage was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that in the untreated alfalfa silage. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in pyridoxine content between the untreated and LP-treated silages for both forages. Conclusion: With or without LP inoculation, the levels of the five B-group vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine) in alfalfa and Chinese leymus decreased after 45 days of ensiling, while the ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content of Chinese leymus increased. The LP inoculant improved the fermentation quality of both the alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages but increased the thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid loss in the two forages after fermentation.

  • This study was performed to assess the nutrient intakes and diet quality of rural middle school students provided with and without the national school lunch program(NSLP). The data on dietary intakes were obtained by using food record method questionnaires which were collected from 340 rural middle school students provided with(n=177) and without (n=163) NSLP. Diet quality was accessed by NAR(nutrient adequacy ration), MAR(mean adequacy ration), and INQ( index of nutritional quality). Total energy intakes of the boys were 2123 kcal with NSLP and 1857 kcal without NSLP. Total energy intakes of the girls were 1913 kcal with NSLP and 1814 kcal without NSLP. Phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin intakes were above the RDA in the NSLP group. For those without NLSP, phosphorus, vitamin E, thiamin intakes were above RDA, however, calcium, iron vitamin A, vitamin $B_6$ were less than the RDA. The mean adequacy ration(MAR), an index of dietary quality was 0.69(with) 0.62(without) for males and 0.62(without) for females The indexes of nutritional quality(INQ) were over 1 for most nutrients except calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$ and zinc. The study showed that total daily energy and nutrient intakes were significantly higher in students provided with than those without school-lunches. Thus, the school-lunch program is recommenced and necessary to improve the nutritional status of middle school students.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the thermal stability of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins dissolved in water and milk by various heat treatments. Vitamin samples were prepared by dissolving them in water and milk at various concentrations, and were heat treated for 30 min at 65$\^{C}$, 15 sec at 85$\^{C}$, 5 sec at 100$\^{C}$, 121$\^{C}$ at 15 min, the levels of residual vitamin were measured by using HPLC. Milk samples were fortified with vitamins before and after UHT treatment. As heating over 100$\^{C}$, riboflavin in water were destructed more than 92% but fortified in milk showed less than 20% destruction, suggesting that riboflavin was protected by milk components. Also retinol heated ever 100$\^{C}$ was more stable in milk than in water. L-Ascorbic acid and cholecalciferol(D$_3$) showed a similar destruction rate in water and in fortified milk. L-ascorbic acid was easily destructed by UHT treatment. Destruction of thiamin and tocopherol was increased in fortified milk. Among tour capsulated water-soluble vitamins, L-ascorbic acid was much more stable compared with powder form. Nicotinic acid and folic acid either in capsule or powder form showed a slight destruction by heat treatment. The results suggested that the fortification of unstable vitamins such as L-ascorbic acid, thiamin, tocopherol and cholecalciferol(D$_3$) should be made in milk after heat treatment.
