In this study, wild sesame leaf aromas (WSLA) were extracted and the extracted aromas were entrapped in porous potato starch micelles. The entrapped aromas did not evaporate, even by heated water treatments, and remained until a physical treatment such as chewing. Thus, the entrapped WSLA starch was used to make precooked instant noodles in order to mask or/and reduce an unpleasant raw flour flavor. The efficiencies of the flavor entrapment were analyzed using gas-chromatography equipped with solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), as well as by sensory evaluation. The highest yield of the porous potato starch was shown as 82.4% at an inlet temperature (IT) of $170^{\circ}C$, an exhaust temperature (ET) of $90^{\circ}C$, and a feeding rate (FR) of 40 mL/min. In the porous starch made by IT at $200^{\circ}C$, ET at $100^{\circ}C$, and FR at 50 mL/min, the entrapment efficiency was 68% by GC analysis; this starch also had the highest WSLA and consumer acceptability, but the lowest raw flour flavor, according to the sensory evaluation results.

A total of 40 pigs were used to investigate the feeding effects of supplementary wild grape wine by-product on pork quality of American Berkshire breed in the swine farm of Hamyang area. Treatments were C that was basal diet, and T that was treated by dietary wild grape wine by-product(5%) were added in feed. About 70 kg pigs were bred a period of 88 days, and slaughtered. The pork quality characteristic were measured in pork loin. In chemical composition, moisture and crude fat were not significantly different between C and T, but T were lower(p<0.05) than C. There were no difference in crude protein and crude ash(p<0.05). pH and water holding capacity(WHC) were not significantly different between C and T, whereas the cholesterol and fat shear force of T were lower(p<0.05) than C. There were no different in the meat color, but the Hunter’s L* and W value of T were higher(p<0.05) than C. Oleic acid(C18:1), linoleic acid(C18:2, n-6), arachidonic acid(C20:4, n-6), Essential fatty acid(EFA), and EFA/unsaturated fatty acid were significantly(p<0.05) different between C and T, in the fatty acid compositions of loins. Also, the total amino acid composition of pork were not significantly different between C and T, but essential fatty acid of T was significantly higher(p<0.05) than that of C. This observation suggests that wild grape wine by-product supplements may have some beneficial effects on improving backfat color, shear force, cholesterol and essential fatty acid content of pork loin.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary lycopene supplementation on meat quality in Longissimus Muscle of Korean native pigs. Meat samples were obtained from pigs which had been fed with finishing pig diets containing basal diets(C), 200 ppm lycopene (T1), 400 ppm lycopene (T2), and 800 ppm lycopene(T3). Longissimus muslce pH was not influenced by feeding lycopene. Total microbial counts of treatments were significantly lower than those of control at 0 day of storage (p<0.05). Counts of lactic acid bacteria and coliform of T2 and T3 were significantly lower than those of control and T1 at 0 day of storage(p<0.05). Regardless of packaging, microbial counts increased as the storage period increased(p<0.05). While water-holding capacity (WHC) values of the treatments were lower than those of control, cooking losses values of treatments were higher than those of control (p<0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that Korean native pigs fed lycopene supplemented diets affect the microbial counts and meat quality (volatile basic nitrogen, WHC and cooking loss) compared with conventional ones. These results may show a fundamental data on production of Korean native pork.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of feeding illite(yellow soil component) on meat quality of pork. 40 pigs were fed with commercial formulated feed (control group) and 1% illite added feed(treatment group). Pigs grown up to 100~110kg of weight were slaughtered in commercial abattoir. After chilling for 24hours, samples were collected from M. longissimus dorsi muscle, and stored at $4\pm$$1^{\circ}C$ for analyses. The physico-chemical properties was determined during storage days as follows. Ultimate pH was not significantly different between control and treatment(pH 5.58 and 5.60, respectively). Water-holding capacity measured using filter paper press method of the treatment group was slightly higher than that of the control group. Cooking loss of treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group at 1 and 7 days(p〈0.05). Shear force between control and treatment group was not different. L*- and a*-value were not significantly different between the two groups(p〉0.05), but b*-value of treatment group was lower than that of the control group(p〈0.05). The drip loss of all samples was increased with storage days, and that of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control at 1 and 3 day storage. Meat color measured using NPPC pork quality standards was not significantly different between the two groups(p〉0.05), but marbling content of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(p〈0.05). Sensory characteristics of, flavor taste and tenderness did not show significant differences(p〉0.05), but juiciness of the treatment group showed higher value than that of the control group(p〈0.05)

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Melandrii Herba (MH), Akebia Quinata Decaisne (AQ), and Tetrapanax Papyriferus (TP) on milk secretion and aquaporin (AQP) expression in lactating mice. Methods: For the experiment, the mice were divided into three groups, which were orally administered MH (2,720 mg/kg), TP (400 mg/kg) and AQ (2,800 mg/kg) extracts respectively for 3 weeks from Day 1 after the birth, compared with the control group (C group), which was administered distilled water. A group consisted of six infantile mice per postpartum mouse. For comparison with the C group, non-pregnant SKH-1 mice were used as the virgin group. Results: 1. When it comes to the immunohistochemical staining for prolactin receptors in the mammary glands, the AQ and MH groups showed a strong immune response to the secretory epithelial cells constituting the mammary alveoli, while the TP group represented a weaker immune response. 2. In the immunohistochemical staining for AQP in the mammary glands, AQP1 showed a strong immune response in the walls of capillaries and venules around the mammary alveoli, and AQP3 in the epithelial cells constituting the mammary alveoli, and AQP5 in some tissues between the mammary alveoli. AQP1 was expressed in the order of TP group>AQ group=C group>MH group, and AQP3 was MH group and AQ group>TP group=C group, and AQP5 was MH group>C group>AQ group and TP group. 3. In the Western blot, AQP1 was expressed in the order of TP group>AQ group>C group>MH group, and AQP3 was MH group>AQ group>C group>TP roup, and AQP5 was MH group>TP Group>C group>AQ group. All of AQP1, 3, 5 expression were significantly higher in the C group than in the Virgin group. Conclusions: The administration of Akebia Quinata Decaisne, Tetrapanax Papyriferus and Melandrii Herba have the effect of improving prolactin levels in postpartum mice and increasing the expression of prolactin receptor and AQPs in the mammary glands, suggesting that lactation might be enhanced by the development of the mammary glands.

The diet food used in this test was composed of the total 16 kinds, such as refined water, herb extract, pomegranate extract, polydextrose and isomalto-oligosaccharide etc. Edible fiber as a major component in dietary food was contained to 2.60%(w/w) level. But the calorie was 104.57kca1/100g, contrast of control domestic saengshick product was 368.06kca1. As a result, calorie of dietary food sample was very low level. Vitamin and mineral as a minor component were determined 5, 6 kinds, respectively. On the other hand, dietary effect of body weight loss was determined about 14%(w/w) at animal test result used for rats during 4 weeks. The reason of dietary effect could confirmed from change of plasma neutral lipids, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentration. Increasing ratio of these in the general diet and dietary diet feeding groups during 4 weeks were 10.55, 6.90, 9.82% and 6.11, 3.85, 6.11%, respectively. from these results, decrease reason of body weight could confirmed the relative relationship with plasma lipids and cholesterol concentration. But plasma plasma glucose and insulin concentration have not positive relativity.

The results were obtained from pigs which had been fed finishing pig diets containing 5% beef tallow(C) as control and 2% perilla seed oil(Tl), 3% beef tallow and 2% squid viscera oil(T2), 3% beef tallow and 2% CLA(conjugated linoleic acid, T3). All porks were stored at 1$^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. pH value of control group was higher than other treatments. Water holding capacity(WHC) did not show any significant difference among treatments, however, WHC of C and T3 was increased as storage days increased. Protein solubility of T3 was higher than the other treatments, but that of all groups increased up to 14 days of storage and then decreased. The a* value of C was higher than the others, but b* value was low on 28 days of storage. Volatile base nitrogen(VBN) value of T3 showed the highest level, but that of Tl was the lowest. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) of T2 and T3 were' higher than those of C and Tl. In sensory analysis, meat color and overall acceptability of C were higher than those of the other treatments in raw meat, and meat appearance was higher than level in Tl.

Carrying capacity model focused on interactions between the filter-feeder growth and their environments is presented, and differences among existing various carrying capacity models are reviewed. For carrying capacity modeling of shellfish system, we constructed a new numerical model coupled oyster growth model with an ecosystem model (EUTRP2). Physical and biological processes such as water transport and mixing, primary production, feeding and growth of the cultivated oyster, Crassostrea gigas and benthic-pelagic exchange were included in the model, Simulated results for validation showed that the more phytoplankton biomass decreased, the more oyster meat weight and nutrients increased, suggesting a powerful tool for reasonable management of shellfish aquaculture. The model was sensitive to parameters controlling the primary production. Among the ecosystem compartments, the oyster growth is highly influenced by small changes in the physiological parameters of phytoplankton and oyster. This sensitivity analysis indicated the importance of experimental data on biological parameters for calibration of the model.

This feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of various additives on growth performance, hematological parameters, fatty acid composition, gene expression and histopathological changes in juvenile olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Eleven isonitrogenous (49% crude protein) and isolipidic (10% crude lipid) experimental diets were formulated: no additives (Con); 5% kelp meal (Ke); 10% krill meal (Kr); 1% garlic powder (Ga); 1% citrus meal (Ci); 3% onion powder (On); 1% ginger powder (Gi); 1% mugwort powder (Mu); 1% licorice powder (Li); 1% wasabi powder (Wa); and a mixture (Mix) of these additives. Three replicate groups of juvenile flounder (average weight of 8.5 g) were fed one of the experimental diets to visual satiety twice a day for 15 weeks. The dietary inclusion of additives did not affect survival, weight gain, specific growth rate feed efficiency, daily feed intake, daily protein intake, protein efficiency ratio, hepatosomatic index and visceralsomatic index of the fish. Plasma triglyceride levels were significantly lower in fish fed the Ke, Ga, On, Gi, Mu, Li, and Mix diets than in fish fed the control diet. Plasma glucose, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and total cholesterol did not differ among dietary treatments. No significant difference was observed in fatty acid composition and lipid content of the dorsal muscle in fish fed the experimental diets. Myosin gene expression did not differ significantly among treatments after 5 weeks but was significantly lower in fish fed the Kr, Ci, Li, and Mix diets than in control group after 15 weeks. Histopathological analysis showed mild gill hyperplasia and mild necrosis of liver parenchymal cells in several individuals of each experimental group. These conditions were also observed in the control group and were not thought to be related to the inclusion of feed additives. The present findings indicate that the dietary inclusion of additives did not affect growth performance, fatty acid composition, gene expression, and histopathological changes in juvenile flounder. However, plasma triglyceride content may be reduced by supplementation with 5% kelp meal, 3% onion powder, 1% garlic powder, 1% ginger powder, 1% mugwort powder, and the additive mixture.
