Chemical composition of barley leaves of four varieties (Olbori, Suwon 298, Suwon 311 and Milyang 60) grown under the same environmental conditions at the same location was investigated. Barley leaf samples were collected on two weeks before heading period. The barley leaves contained $25{\sim}29%$ crude protein, $9.3{\sim}9.9%$ crude lipid, $9.3{\sim}11.2%$ ash, $1.3{\sim}1.8%$ ${\beta}$-glucan on dry matter basis. Chlorophyll contents of Olbori, Suwon 298, Suwon 311 and Milyang 60 were 951 mg%, 885 mg%, 866 mg%, 826 mg%, respectively. Mineral contents of barley leaves were not significantly different each other and potassium content was found to be the highest among all the minerals observed. Vitamin C contents of Olbori, Suwon 298, Suwon 311 and Milyang 60 were 328 mg%, 266 mg%, 278 mg% and 269 mg%, respectively. Free sugar contents of barley leaves were somewhat different and the glucose content was the highest among the free sugars, ranging from 5.70% to 8.35%. Besides glucose, fructose, sucrose and raffinose contents were also relatively higher than the other free sugars. In other oligosaccharides, 1-kestose($GF_2$) content was between 0.26% and 0.39% and a slight amount of 1-nystose($GF_3$) was also detected. Although aspartic acid, glutamic acid and serine were relatively higher content than the other free amino acids, the values were not consistent in different varieties.

This study was performed to produce quality vinegar using different types of nuruk, which is the most effective in making traditional brown rice vinegar. The vinegar was produced with 20% vinegar starter, and pears were added to reduce the nuruk aroma. Three different types of Nuruk that were prepared were rice, wheat, and a rice+wheat (1:1) combination. The total acidities of brown rice pear vinegar made from rice-nuruk, wheat-nunuk, and rice+wheat-nuruk were 8.1%, 7.5%, and 6.4%, respectively. Free sugars, including glucose, galactose, and fructose, were highly detected from all three vinegar samples. Acetic acid and lactic acid were the major organic acids in all three vinegar samples. For free amino acids, alanine, glutamic acid, and arginine were mainly detected in all three vinegar samples. Total phenolic compounds were higher in brown rice pear vinegar made of rice-nuruk than in that made of wheat-nuruk, whereas total flavonoids showed the opposite pattern. DPPH-radical scavenging activity was higher in brown rice pear vinegar made of wheat-nuruk than in that made of rice-nuruk.

Characteristics of six commercial samjangs were analyzed such as proximate composition, free amino acids, organic acids and free sugars. Also color, taste and odor were evaluated by 36 panelists. They were composed of moisture content 41.4-48.4%, crude protein 9.2-10.4%, crude fat 2.2-3.4%, pH 5.3-5.7, amino nitrogen 194.0%-375.6 mg% and sodium chloride 7.7-9.1%. Total free amino acids of samjangs were 975.89-2304.98 mg%. Glutamic acid was the highest amino acid among free amino acids as 231.7-788.01 mg%. Proline, arginine, alanine and lysine were higher than other free amino acids while histidine, cystine and methionine were lower than other. Eleven free amino acids including glutamic acid were the highest in samjang (B) which contained more doenjang than any other makers did. Total organic acids were 401.01-640.27 mg%. 69.65-269.07 mg% of succinic acid was the highest among organic acids. Lactic acid was the highest in samjang (F) which was home made. Total free sugars was the highest in samjang (A) which contained more wheat flour than any other makers did it. Glucose was 9.30-23.99% and fructose was nd-2.69%. The result of proximate composition showed a different pattern comparing with that sensory evaluation. Samjang (A) which contained less salt showed the highest overall acceptability while samjang (F) which contained more dark color, more salt was the lowest one among the samples.

The effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on the mycelial growth and sporulation of microconidia and chlamydospores of five isolates of Cylindrocarpon destructans (Zinssm.) Scholten causing root rot of Panax ginseng were studied. For the carbon sources, fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose in Czapek-Dox broth showed good mycelial growth of 178∼201 mg in dry weight compared with 64 mg of the control. The best carbon sources tested for conidial formation were sucrose and maltose with 2.75 and 3.03 log conidia/ml, respectively. For the nitrogen sources, aspartic acid, NaNO3, KNO3, arginine, threonine, and leucine increased mycelial growth of the fungi to 208∼231 mg in dry weight without significant difference (p=0.05) among them. Meanwhile the growth with cystine was poor (26.3 mg dry weight), and no conidium and chlamydospore were formed. Maximum microconidial formation was observed in the media with NaNO3 and KNO3 as 3.37 and 3.35 log conidia/ml, and for the chlamydospore formation the (NH4)2SO4-containing medium and the nitrogen-absent medium were the best as 3.40 and 3.57 log chlamydospores/ml, respectively. No conidium was found in the medium without nitrogen sources, in which chlamydospore formation increased 6 times more than in the nitrogen-amended medium. However, deletion of carbon source in the medium did not affect on the formation of conidia and chlamydospores of C. destructans.

This study examined the changes of chemical components in Dongchimi when ginseng and pineneedle were added 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively. Those were fermented at room temperature for the first day and at 4$^{\circ}C$ from the second to 29th day. The contents of reducing sugar was significantly increased during fermentation, and showed the highest content in Dongchimi added pineneedle. The contents of proteins were also increased in the Dongchimi with pineneedle during 8 days of fermentation, while the others increased throughout 29 days of fermentation. The contents of non-volatile organic acids were 2.79~4.80 mg/100 ml at the end of fermentation, and the content of lactic acid was the highest among them. Free sugars of the Dongchimi were composited sucrose, glucose and fructose, and the contents of those were in the range of 227.4~247.0 mg/100ml in 8 days of fermentation, then increased to 705.2~943.7mg/100ml in 29 days. the Dongchimi contained 17 kinds of free amino acids except lysine, arginine were the majority of them, and sarcosine, $\beta$-aminoisobutyric acid and ${\gamma}$-aminoisobutyric acid were the major portion of amino acid dervatives.

Analysis of leaf exudates of Vicia faba using paper chromatography to identify individual amino acids and sugars qualitatively was investigated. The results revealed that the number of identified amino acids detected in the leaf exudates of the susceptible plants was more than those of resistant plants. The results also showed an increase in the number of amino acids exuded by infected leaves, but no marked difference in sugars of infected and non infected plants. Lithium chloride application led to decrease in amino acid and sugar contents. The number of amino acids and sugars was also decreased with leaf age. Botrytis fabae and the selected fungal species(Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger) were used to show the effect of individual amino acid and sugar on their spore germination. It was observed that all amino acids stimulated the fungal spore germination except serine which inhibited its spore germination. In case of A. alternata, spore germination was stimulated by all amino acids except serine, alanine, glutamic acid, arginine and methionine which caused the inhibition. In case of F. oxysporum, aspartic and glutamic acids inhibited spore germination but the other amino acids stimulated its spore germination. Aspartic acid and phenyl alanine inhibited the spore germination of A. niger. All the identified sugars(galactose, glucose, fructose and rhamnose) stimulated spore germination of all tested fungi.

The nutritional compositions of the Achyranthis Radix extract were as follows;moisture 42.3%, crude protein 101.1%, crude fat 2.07%, ash 8.94%, and carbohydrate 36.5%. Among the free sugars, the maximum lactose concentration in the Achyranthis Radix extract was obtained at 0.0526 mg% and fructose, maltose, arabinose, and glucose were followed: 0.3654 mg%, 0.1160 mg%, 0.0365 mg% and 0.027 mg%, respectively. The total amino acid concentration of the Achyranthis Radix extract was 8908.3 mg% and concentrations of lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and arginine were 989.1 mg%, 954.4 mg%, 841.4 mg% and 763.2 mg%, respectively. Among various long chain fatty acids, the maximum concentrations of palmitic acid and linoleic acid were obtained at 47.8% and 31.058%, respectively. However, in the case of organic acid, only the oxalic acid and malic acid were determined. The potassium concentration in the Achyranthis Radix extract was relatively high and the concentrations of Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, Mn, and Zn were as follows: 275.3 mg%, 281.3 mg%, 119.4 mg%, 37.75 mg%, 10.43 mg% and 3.11 mg%, respectively. These results suggest that the Achyranthis Radix extract might have a possible positive effect for medical and edible purposes.

Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karst (Polyporaceae), belonging to basidiomycota, is one of the most famous medicinal mushrooms. This study was carried out to investigate favorable mycelial growth conditions, such as pH, temperature, growth media, carbon sources and nitrogen sources of Korean strains in G. lucidum. The most suitable temperature for the mycelial growth was obtained at $30^{\circ}C$. In general, optimal temperature range for the mycelial growth was found at $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. This Mushroom has a broad pH range ($5{\sim}9$) for its mycelial growth and mostly favorable growth was found at pH 5. Generally, Hamada, Glucose peptone, YM, Mushroom complete and Lilly media were the most suitable for the mycelial growth of G. lucidum. Among 10 different carbon sources, dextrin, galactose and fructose were best but the rest of other carbon sources also facilitated the growth of mycelia. The most suitable nitrogen sources were ammonium acetate, glycine, arginine and calcium nitrate, but to a certain extent, all of the supplemented nitrogen sources also stimulated the mycelial growth.
