The concentration of free fatty acids and fatty acid composition as well as cholesterol supersaturation in bile may be an important factor in the gallstone formation. Therefore, we simultaneously determinded 23 fatty acids in bile by selected ion monitoring (SIM) method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Biliary fatty acids were extracted by aminopropyl column and the extracts with (phospholipid fraction) or without (free fatty acid fraction) alkaline hydrolysis of phospholipid were derivatized with MSTFA/TMCS (N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyl-trifluoroacetamide/trimethylsilylchloride) mixture in order to be detected on the GC-MS. The recovery range of this method was 61.1-99.0% and the RSD value of within-a-day and day-to-day test were 3.1-25.6% and 3.8-27.0%, respectively. Using this method, biliary profile was investigated in the bile of normal controls and patients with gallstones. The amounts and their distribution of free and phospholipid fatty acids showed different pattern between normal subjects and patients.

Total lipid contents were 0.58∼3.00% in 9 kinds of brown algaes, 0.47∼2.16% in 5 kinds of red algaes and 0.55∼2.99% in 2 kind of green algeas, respectively. Fatty acid compositions of the algaes were determined by gas liquid chromatography. Total polyenes and n-3 polyenes of linoleic acid(18:3), stearidonic acid(18:4), eicosapentaenoic acid(20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid(22:6) were 3.88∼57.57% and 1.46∼25.67% in the brown algaes, 5.30∼39.75% and 1.17∼21.91% in the red algaes, and 7.76∼19.27% and 3.67%∼10.61% in the green algaes, respectirely. The fatty acid contents and compositions of total polyenes and n-3 polyenes were vary different in the algae groups and sepecies.

Andong Sikhe in Korea was prepared and fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ and the taste and flavor compounds were evaluated. Major flavor components were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer as camphene, sabinene, 1-(1, 5-dimethyl-4-hexyl)-4-methyl-benzene, alpha-zingibirene, farnesene, 2, 6-bis(1, 1-dimethylethyl)-4-metethyl-phenol, beta-sesquiphellandrene, calalene, tetradecanoic acid, and 9, 12-octadecanoic acid. The concentration of nonvolatile organic acid such as lactic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid were 18.10mg/100g, 1.04mg/100g and 1.37mg/100g, respectively, and those of other nonvolatile organic acid were a little. The pH and acidity of Andong Sikhe were 4.06 and 0.32 during fermentation and storage.

Green and black tea by-products, obtained from ready-made tea industry, were ensiled at $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $30^{\circ}C$. Green tea by-product silage (GTS) and black tea by-product silage (BTS) were opened at 5, 10, 45 days after ensiling. Fermentation characteristics and nutrient composition, including tannins, were monitored and the silages on day 45 were subjected to in vitro ruminal fermentation to assess anti-nutritive effects of tannins using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a tannin-binding agent. Results showed that the GTS and BTS silages were stable and fermented slightly when ensiled at $10^{\circ}C$. The GTS stored at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ showed rapid pH decline and high acetic acid concentration. The BTS was fermented gradually with moderate change of pH and acid concentration. Acetic acid was the main acid product of fermentation in both GTS and BTS. The contents of total extractable phenolics and total extractable tannins in both silages were unaffected by storage temperatures, but condensed tannins in GTS were less when stored at high temperature. The GTS showed no PEG response on in vitro gas production, and revealed only a small increase by PEG on $NH_3$-N concentration. Storage temperature of GTS did not affect the extent of PEG response to both gas production and $NH_3$-N concentration. On the other hand, addition of PEG on BTS markedly increased both the gas production and $NH_3$-N concentration at any ensiled temperature. It can be concluded that tannins in both GTS and BTS suppressed rumen fermentation, and tannins in GTS did more weakly than that in BTS. Ensiling temperature for both tea by-products did not affect the tannin's activity in the rumen.

Plasma carbon blacks of 20~30 nm diameter were synthesized by direct decomposition of natural gas using a hybrid plasma torch system with 50 kW direct current and 4 MHz of radio frequency. The insulating rector which inside diameter of 400 mm and length of 1500 mm, respectively was kept at 300~$400^{\circ}C$ during the preparation. The ultimate analysis of plasma carbon blacks reveals that the raw plasma carbon blacks contains a large quantity of volatile which is mainly consist of hydrogen. Therefore devolatilization of raw plasma carbon blacks were carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ for one hour under nitrogen atmosphere. The devolatilization leads to the decrease in electrical resistivity and surface oxygen functional groups of plasma carbon black significantly. In order to investigate the plasma carbon as a catalyst support, devolatilized plasma black at $900^{\circ}C$ (DPB) supported PtAu catalyst was synthesized by sodium boronhydride reduction method. Electrochemical measurements and direct formic acid fuel cell test indicated that catalytic activity of DPB supported PtAu catalyst for formic acid oxidation was similar to that of Vulcan XC-72 of commercial carbon black supported one.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding probiotic (Enterococcus faecium SF68, EF) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood characteristics and faecal noxious gas content in finishing pigs. A total of eighty [($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire$)${\times}Duroc$] pigs with an initial BW of $50.47{\pm}2.13kg$ were used in this 8-week experiment. Pigs were allotted to four treatments (4 replicates per treatment and 5 pigs per pen) according to a randomized complete block design. Dietary treatments were: 1) CON (control; basal diet), 2) CTC (control diet+0.1% antibiotic, chlortetracycline), 3) EF1 (control diet+0.1% probiotic, EF) and 4) EF2 (control diet+0.2% probiotic, EF). During weeks 0-4, ADG was not affected by the addition of antibiotic or EF (p>0.05). In weeks 4-8, ADG tended to increase in CTC and EF treatments compared to CON treatment (p<0.10). ADFI and gain/feed were not affected in each 4-week period and the entire experimental period (p>0.05). Digestibilities of DM and N were higher in EF supplemented treatments than in CON and CTC treatments (p<0.05). Blood characteristics of WBC, RBC and lymphocyte were not affected in pigs given diets containing EF (p>0.05). Supplementation of EF in the diet decreased faecal ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) and hydrogen sulphide ($H_2S$) concentrations (p<0.05). Faecal acetic acid concentration tended to decrease (p<0.10) while propionic acid and butyric acid concentrations were significantly lower on diets with EF supplementation than on the diet containing antibiotic (p<0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of EF can increase nutrient digestibility and decrease faecal $NH_3$-N, $H_2S$ and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations in finishing pigs.

Objective: The effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase enzyme on fermentation quality, microorganism population, chemical composition and in vitro gas production of sorghum silages were studied. Methods: Commercial inoculant Lactobacillus plantarum Chikuso 1 (CH), local selected strain Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) TH 14 and Acremonium cellulase (AC) were used as additives in sorghum silage preparation. Results: Prior to ensiling Sorghum contained $10^4LAB$ and $10^6cfu/g$ fresh matter coliform bacteria. The chemical compositions of sorghum was 26.6% dry matter (DM), 5.2% crude protein (CP), and 69.7% DM for neutral detergent fiber. At 30 days of fermentation after ensiling, the LAB counts increased to a dominant population; the coliform bacteria and molds decreased to below detectable level. All sorghum silages were good quality with a low pH (<3.5) and high lactic acid content (>66.9 g/kg DM). When silage was inoculated with TH14, the pH value was significantly (p<0.05) lower and the CP content significantly (p<0.05) higher compared to control, CH and AC-treatments. The ratio of in vitro methane production to total gas production and DM in TH 14 and TH 14+AC treatments were significantly (p<0.05) reduced compared with other treatments while in vitro dry matter digestibility and gas production did not differ among treatments. Conclusion: The results confirmed that L. casei TH14 could improve sorghum silage fermentation, inhibit protein degradation and decrease methane production.
