This study was designed to develop a conceptual framework for the curriculum and develop the details of the learning content for the education of Community Health Practitioners (CHPs). Since education programs for CHPs started 10 years ago, concepts related to CHP services have changed because of changes in society. The objectives of the study were as follows : 1) to analyse the usefulness of the present education program for CHPs, 2) to analyse the Job performance and self -confidence of the CHPs, 3) to identify the health needs of the clients served by the CHPs and the community problems related to health. 4) to develop a conceptual framework for the curriculum, for the education of CHPs, 5) to develops details for the learning content of the education program for CHPs. Phase I of the study was conducted by questionnaires to 150 CHPs who have worked in remote rural areas for more than 2 years. Among them, 147 responded. Data was collected from August 16, to August 25, 1990. In order to identify the health needs of the community people, research within the last five years was reviewed and analyzed. The data on 1, 842 communities gathered by the WHO Nursing Collaborations Center of the College of Nursing, Yonsei University was utilized to identify community problems related to health and the self - confidence in job performance of the CHPs. Psase II of the study consisted of a workshop with 13 professionals including Community Health Practitioners to evaluate the existing education program and a conceptual framework of the curriculum for the job education of CHPs. The results of the study are Summariged below : 1. The only 26 among 45 content items of the education program related to job skills was used by 80% of the responding CHPs. The knowledge of $\ulcorner$Networking community organization$\lrcorner$ was used by only 53.7% of the respondents. Educational content about $\ulcorner$Mental disease$\lrcorner$ was used by less than 50% of CHPs because of a knowledge deficit. 2. The CHPs reported that their activities concentrated on clinical services during the last six months. The survey showed that they seemed to neglect the activities for health promotion and disease prevention. Thus, $\ulcorner$Education for community loaders$\lrcorner$(15.9%), $\ulcorner$Activity for eavironmental health$\lrcorner$(16.3%) and $\ulcorner$Social work for needey people$\lrcorner$(23.3%) were done by less than 30% of CHPs. 3. More than 90% of CHPs reported being self - confident for the activities of $\ulcorner$Health education and counselling$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$Medicine prescription$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$Immunization$\lrcorner$. But 50% of CHPs reported that they were not have self - confident in $\ulcorner$Management of water and environmental health$\lrcorner$ and only 25.6% of CHPs could insert an IUD independently. 4. It was identified that respiratory diseases and the gastrointestinal diseases were most common problems for the community people, followed by musculoskeletal and skin problems. 5. The community problems were classified into eight categories : physical environmental problems, environmental hygiene, health problems, health behavior, social problem, lack of resources, financial problem and the problems of the cultural and value system. 6. The conceptual framework consisted of the target population and their health status, nursing process working site and primary health care services such as health promotion, disease prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. 7. The contents of curriculum of education program for CHPs were formulated from the results of this study.

The aim of this work was to analyze the effects of salt and NaNO2 on weight loss, proximate compositions, chemical parameters and texture characteristics of dry-cured ham processed using Korean methods. Four different treatments were considered: The H8 group of 3 hams (11.30 kg) was salted with 9.2 g/kg salt (w/w) (high salt batch), the HS+NaNO2 group of 3 hams (10.65 kg) was salted same as HS group and added 100 ppm NaNO2. The LS group of 3 hams (11.42 kg) was salted with 6.2 g/kg salt (w/w) (Low salt batch), the LS+NaNO2 group of 3 hams (10.62 kg) was salted same as L8 group and added 100 ppm NaNO2. The highest weight losses took place at the drying stage (27.46, 28.25, 26.99, and 28.42%). However, there were no significant differences in the weight losses between treatments (p>0.05). The moisture content was significantly affected with addition of NaNO2 (p<0.05), the L8 hams had significantly higher moisture content than HS + NaNO2 and L8 + NaNO2 (p<0.05). The level of salt and NaNO2 did not affect the fat, protein and ash contents. The hardness and chewiness in biceps femoris muscle from L8 hams were significantly lower than in the muscles from HS + NaNO2 hams (p<0.05). The NaNO2 did not affect the texture characteristics of dry-cured hams. The processing conditions significantly affected the chemical parameters of biceps femoris muscle (p<0.05). The water activity in biceps femoris muscle from L8 hams was significantly higher than in muscles from HS and H8+NaNO2 hams (p<0.04). The salt content in biceps femoris muscles from LS + NaNO2 hams was significantly lower than in the muscles from HS and HS + NaNO2 hams (p<0.05). The NaNO2 treatment did not affect the NaNO2 content in biceps femoris muscles (p>0.05). The processing conditions did not significantly affect the lightness (L), redness (a), and $h^{\circ}$ of biceps femoris muscles (p>0.05). The yellowness (b) and chroma in biceps femoris muscle from HS + NaNO2 hams were significantly higher than in the muscles from HS and LS hams.

The effect of far-infrared (FIR) irradiation on the antioxidant activity of extracts from grape seed (GS) was evaluated. GS (5 g) were placed in Pyrex petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) md FIR irradiated at 150$^{\circ}C$ for 10, 20, 30, 40 or 60 min with a FIR heater. After FIR irradiation, water extract (WE) (1.0 g/10 mL), methanol extract (ME) (1.0 g/10 mL) and 70$\%$ ethanol extract (EE) (1.0 g/10 mL) of GS were prepared, and total phenol contents (TPC) and radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the extracts were determined. The antioxidant activities of GS extracts increased as FIR irradiation. For example, FIR irradiation of GS at 150$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min increased the TPC and RSA of WE from 0.95 mM to 1.84 mM and 33,87$\%$ to 58.55$\%$, respectively, compared to non-irradiated control. In the case of ME at the same conditions of FIR irradiation (150$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min), the TPC and RSA also increased from 3.4 mM to 4.52 mM and 76.55$\%$ to 89.41$\%$, respectively. The TPC and RSA of EE increased from 2.65 mM to 4.82 mM and 66.89$\%$ to 84.62$\%$, too. According to the GC/MS analysis, several low-molecular-weight phenolic compounds such as vanillic acid and 3,4-hydroxy benzoic acid were newly formed in the EE after FIR irradiated at 150$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. There were slight differences in the kinds of phenolic compounds between EE of non irradiated control and FIR irradiated samples. These results indicated that FIR irradiation onto GS could enhance antioxidant activities of its extracts with increasing the amount of phenolic compounds.

For the effective utilization of mackerel as a food sauce, the processing conditions of the frozen seasoned mackerel meat and the changes in taste compounds during its frozen storage were investigated. To prepare the frozen seasoned mackerel meat, the mackerel was headed, gutted manually, washed with tap water and deboned with the meat seperator. Then it was mixed with additives such as emulsion curd(32.1%, w/w), table salt(0.5%, w/w), sugar(2.0%, w/w), sodium bicarbonate(0.4%, w/w), polyphosphate(0.2%, w/w), monosodium glutamate(0.2%, w/w), onion powder(0.3%, w/w), garlic powder(0.1%, w/w), ginger powder(0.1%, w/w), soybean protein(3.0%, w/w) and sodium erythorbate(0.1%, w/w). This seasoned fish meat was frozen with contact freezer, packed In a carton box, and then stored at $-25^{\circ}C$. The moisture and lipid contents in the products were 70.8-71.7% and 10.9-11.3%, respectively. The taste compounds of the frozen seasoned mackerel meat were free amino acids(1625.0-1692.0mg/100g), nucleotides and their related compounds(316.6-366.8 mg/100g) as well as total creatinine(270.2-311.8 mg/100g), and small amount of betaine and TMAO. In free amino acids, the predominant ones were histidine, lysine, glutamic acid and arginine. It was supposed from the results that principal taste compounds of frozen seasoned mackerel meat were free amino acids, and that total creatinine, TMAO, TMA and betaine as well as nucleotides and their related compounds also played an assistant role.

In order to investigate the effect of dietary protein and energy on growing female and male rats, Sprague-Dawley 90 female rats and 54 male rats of 3 weeks old weighing approximately 70-80g and 65-75g, respectively, were subjected to feeding trials for 8 weeks and then subsquently to metabolic trials for 2 weeks. Three dietary energy levels (3200, 3600, 4000 kcal ME/kg) were employed and each energy level contained three protein levels (15, 25, 35% of 3600 kcal ME/kg) and three fat levels (10, 20, 40% of 3600 kcal ME/kg) by addition of an appropriate amount of carbohydrate and the following results were obtained. The body weight gain of female rats was highest for LPHE ration but that of male rats was highest for LPME ration. The weight gains both of female and male rats were not affected by the level of protein. Food efficiencies both of female and male rats was affected by the level of protein, whereas that of male rats was not. Protein efficiencies of female and male rats were highest at low protein level and tended to decrease as the level of protein increased, but that of female rats was highest at high energy level, while that of male rats was highest at medium energy level. The analysis of the body composition after feeding trials for 8 weeks has shown that the contents of body water and protein were not affected by protein level both in female and male rats. The content of body fat increased remarkably as the protein and energy levels increased in case of female rats, but it was not affected by the protein and energy levels in case of male rats. From the above-mentioned experimental results it may be con eluded that the best formula of diet of growing female rats may be composed of low protein (13%) and high energy levels (4000 kcal/kg) whereas that for male rats may be composed of low protein (13%) and medium energy levels (3600 kcal/kg), since all the efficiencies of food, protein and energy have shown to be best at these levels.

This study was performed to develop a more simple and convenient heat treatment process for increasing heating temperature than the traditional 9-times steaming process for Rehmanniae radix Preparata (R. radix P.). The R. radix was heated to various temperatures (110, 120, 130, 140 and $150^{\circ}C$) for different lengths of time (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hr). Chromaticity, free sugar, amino acid, catalpol and 5-HMF (5-hydroxy-methyl-2-furaldehyde) content of water extracts of R. radix P. were analysed. With increasing heating temperature and time, the L, a and b-value of samples gradually decreased. Fructose and glucose contents were increased to $120^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr (5.21 and 6.67%, respectively) with no changes afterward. Sucrose content was not detected after $130^{\circ}C$. Total amino acid was increased to $140^{\circ}C$ and decreased afterward. The maximum total amino acid content was 4,172 mg/100 g at $140^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr (R. radix L.: 3,029 mg/100 g). The catalpol was decreased to $130^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr and not detected afterward. The 5-HMF content increased with increasing heating temperature and time. The maximum content of 5.HMF was 2.5% in $150^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. Hence, it can be suggested that the heat treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr or more is the most optimum processing conditions, instead of the traditional 9.times steaming process.

To develop natural flavoring substances. optimal hydrolysis conditions for two stage enzyme hydrolysates (TSEH) using low-utilized shellfishes such as purplish clam and frozen oyster stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The optimal conditions for TSEH method were revealed in temperature at $50^{\circ}C$ 3 hours digestion with alcalase (Aroase AP-10, $0.3%$ w/v, pH 8.0) at the 1st stage and $45^{\circ}C$ 2 hours digestion with neutrase (Pandidase NP-2, $0.3\%$ w/v, pH 6.0) at the 2nd stage. Among water extracts, autolytic extracts and 4 kinds of enzyme hydrolysates tests, TSEH method was superior to other methods on the aspect of yields, nitrogen contents, taste such as umami and control of off-flayer formation, and transparency of extracts. From the results of chemical experiments and sensory evaluation, we may conclude that TSEH from low-utilized marine products is more flavorable compared the conventional enzyme hydrolysates, it could be commercialized as the seasoning substances.

Long line suspended culture of oysters has been started commercially in Hansan-Koje Bay since 1969. However, its Annual production has been decreased and culturing periods extended in recent years. So, we investigated environmental parameters and food organisms to identity the causes of poor fatness of oysters in Hansan-Koje Bay from February to November, 1994. As the result, the Water quality of Hansan-Koje Bay was found to be good for culture. For example, the mean concentration of COD was $1.35mg/\ell$, phosphate phosphorus was $0.30{\mu}g-at/\ell$ and dissolved inorganic nitrogen was $4.68{\mu}g-at/\ell$. However, the Hwado island and the inner part of the Hansan-Koje Bay were found to be eutrophicated due to various contaminants transported by land-based activities. But in the central pan of the Hansan-Koje Bay where the oyster farms Have been developed densely, the level of nutrient concentration was very low. During the study period, the dominant species of phytoplankton was Chaetoceros spp. with the percentage of $72.6\%\~87.8\%$ and the mean values of Chlorophyll-a concentration and phytoplankton standing crops were $2.05mg/m^3\;and\;188ind./m\ell$, respectively. The distribution of these parameters also showed similar trends those of nutrients. Especially, chlorophyll-a contents was very low with the concentration of below $0.5mg/m^3$ at central part of the Bay, Juklimpo. The fatness of oysters and the eutrophic index in this area were $18.1\%$ and 0.54, respectively. These values were lower than those of other culturing farms in the southern coastal areas in Korea. Therefore, we estimated that the insufficient food supply due to the low level of nutritional status was the major factors affecting the poor fatness of the Pacific oysters in Hansan-Koje Bay.

In order to evaluate the marine mollusc muscle as foodstuff not only from the biochemical aspect but also from the view point of food science, we have analyzed the protein and amino acid compositions of the echiurid (Urechis unicinctus) and sea hare (Aplysia kurodai) muscle. The protein quality of the muscles was also investigated using in vitro methods based on in vitro digestibility, predicted digestibility, computed PER (C-PER) and discriminant computed PER(DC-PER). The remarkable feature of the protein compositions of the both muscles was that water soluble protein occupied a large amount of the muscle protein with fairly lower contents of the salt soluble protein. From the analysis of SDS-PAG electrophoresis, the sarcoplasmic proteins in the echiurid and the sea hare muscles were composed of 15 and 10 subunits, respectively. The free amino acid compositions of the total amino acids in the echiurid and sea hare muscle were characterized with $75\%$ of glycine and alanine, and with $78\%$ of taurine, respectively. The amino acid anaylsis of both muscle proteins showed that the echiurid muscle was rich in glycine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine and lysine, but was poor in cysteine, while the sea hare muscle was rich in glycine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine, but was negligible in cysteine and tryptophan. In the total amino acid profiles of the freeze dried muscles in echiurid and sea hare, there was not found a significant difference compared to the amino acid compositions of the muscle proteins. Predicting the protein quality of the echiurid and sea hare muscles using the in vitro method, it was apparently low compared to the muscle protein of fishes.

This study was designed to compare the lipid components between wild and cultured snakehead, Channa argus. The lipid components of cultured snakehead were analyzed and compared with that of wild snakehead. In both edible portion and viscera, the lipid content in cultured, snakehead was higher than that in wild one. In the fatty acid composition of neutral lipid in edible portion, percentages of $C_{14:0},\;C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{22:5}\;and\;C_{22:6}$ in cultured snakehead were higher than those in wild one, while percentages of $C_{18:0},\;C_{16:1},\;C_{18:2},\;C_{18:3},\;C_{20:4}\;and\;C_{22:4}$ lower. In the case of phospholipid in edible portion, percentages of $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1}\;and\;C_{22:6}$ in cultured snakehead were higher than those in wild one, while percentages of $C_{16:1},\;C_{18:2},\;C_{18:3},\;C_{20:4},\;C_{22:4}\;and\;C_{22:5}$ lower. The unsaturation (TUFA/TSFA) and w3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content (w3 HUFA) of neutral lipid in cultured snakehead were higher than those in wild one, while those of phospholipid lower. The essential fatty acid contents (TEFA) of both neutral and phospholipids in wild snakehead were higher than those in cultured one. In the ratio (A/B) of fatty- acid content (A) in cultured snakehead to that (B) in diet, the A/B ratios of $C_{18:2\;w6},\;C_{18:3\;w3},\;C_{20:5\;w3}\;and\;C_{22:6\;w3}$ were 0.3 to 2.5 times, and it is considered to be related to the biosynthesis of polyenoic acids and growth rate of cultured snakehead.
