The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of seeds and various seed fractions of different varieties of cotton (MNH 147, CIM 240, NIAB 78, FH 87, CIM 109, MNH 93, FH 682, GOHAR 87, SLS I and B 557). Linter, hull, kernel and meal were obtained from cottonseed by physical and chemical methods. Free gossypol and available lysine contents of seed and it's fractions were determined. In vitro protein digestibility of cottonseed meal was also determined. Free gossypol and available lysine contents ranged between 0.22-2.26% and 0.64-1.32% in seed, and 0.03-0.29% and 1.38-2.36% in meal, respectively. FH 87 was highest both in free gossypol and available lysine content, and NIAB 78 was lowest in free gossypol content and FH 862 was lowest in available lysine content. In vitro protein digestibility of cottonseed meal ranged between 66,02-79,96%. Statistical analysis revealed significant (p<0.05) varietal differences in free gossypol, available lyslne and in vitro protein digestibility of cottonseed and derived products.

Lysine is known as a limiting amino acid in rice. In addition, it is considered to be important in that it is easily non-activated by the browning reaction during processing or storage. The present study was designed to utilize a kinetic approach to analyse the effect of temperature and water activity on available lysine loss in rice. Simplified kinetic models were used to obtain the various kinetic parameters for available lysine loss in rice subjected to accelerated shelf-life tests (ASLT). These kinetic parameters were then used to predict protein quality loss under the non-steady state storage. The predicted losses were compared to the actual losses. As expected, available lysine loss was increased with increased temperature and water activity. The activation energies and $Q_{10}$ values for available lysine loss ranged from 4.03 to 5.10 Kcal/ mole and 1.22 to 1.27, respectively, The shelf-lives at $25^{\circ}C$, the time to reach 25% loss of the available lysine, which was derived from the accelerated shelf-life tests showed 67 to 107 days according to $a_w$'s. The amount of loss for the fluctuating condition was greater than that occurring at the mean temperature of $45^{\circ}C$. Actually, the differences in effective temperature for the fluctuating storage were between about 4 and $6^{\circ}C$. In predicting the extent of loss using constant state data, the predicted shelf-lives were 2 to 7 days shorter than the actual storage values.

Two trials were conducted to investigate the effect of decreasing the crude protein (CP) content of diets for finishing pigs containing two levels of available lysine on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) balance and production performance. Ten finishing diets containing five levels of CP (on average 144, 155, 168, 182 and 193 g/kg fresh basis) and two levels of available lysine (6.9 and 8.2 g/kg fresh basis) were formulated. The diets were offered to pigs on a performance trial (n = 800 Large White (LW)${\times}$Landrace (LR) pigs) from 10 wk of age until finish at 21 wks+5 d of age. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. In addition, a digestibility/N balance trial was conducted using pigs (n = 80 $LW{\times}LR$) housed in metabolism crates. Digestibility of dry matter (DM), CP, oil, fibre and energy was determined. N balance values were determined through analysis of N content of urine and faeces ('as determined'). N balance values were also calculated using ADG values and assuming that 16% of growth is protein deposition ("as calculated"). Pig performance was poor between 10 and 13 wk of age which indicated that the dietary treatments were nutritionally inadequate for pigs less than 40 kg. There was a significant (p<0.01) quadratic effect of increasing CP level on feed intake, ADG and FCR from 10 to 13 wk which indicated that the lower CP levels did not supply adequate levels of essential or non-essential amino acids. There was no effect of increasing available lysine level throughout the early period, which in conjunction with the response in older pigs, suggested that both 8.2 and 6.9 g/kg available lysine were insufficient to drive optimum growth. There was a positive response (p<0.05) to increasing available lysine level from 13 wk to finish which indicated that 6.9 g/kg available lysine was not adequate for finishing pigs. Energy digestibility decreased with decreasing CP level of diets containing 6.9 g/kg available lysine which may be attributed to the higher fibre content of the lower CP diets. Nitrogen excretion (g/d) was lowered when dietary CP was reduced regardless of whether the values were determined through balance or calculated using ADG. Calculated N excretion decreased linearly (p<0.001) and quadratically (p<0.001) with decreasing dietary CP content. When the N balance figures calculated in this study were compared with those quoted in the Northern Ireland and English Nitrates Directive Action Programmes, N excretion was less per pig (wean to finish) offered a 169 g/kg CP, 8.2 g/kg available lysine diet (2.39 kg vs 3.41 kg (Northern Ireland) and 2.93 kg (England)).

The browning development, mainly through the Maillard reaction, occurring in the dried fish meat products during storage causes reduction of the nutritional value due to the loss of the essential amino acid such as available lysine as well as off -flavor resulting in the deterioration of the food quality thus shortening the shelflife. In the work, the changes in the amount of available lysine, extractable nitrogenous compounds (nonprotein-N, amino-N, trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine, and free lysine) and development of browning were measured to assess the relationship between the shelflife and the quality loss in dried filefish under the steady state conditions (35,45, and $55^{\circ}C;a_{w}'s$ of 0.44 0.52, 0.65 and 0.75 at each temperature) and fluctuating temperature condition of $35/55^{\circ}C$ will. alternating 7 day periods at each water activity. The results indicated that the amount of available lysine and extractable nitrogenous compounds except TMA decreased rapidly with increasing temperatures and water activities while the rate of available lysine and extractable nitrogenous compounds must be involved in the initial stage of brown pigment formation. The available lysine loss of the dried filefish products stored under the fluctuating temperature conditions was greater than that stored under its fixed mean temperature, $45^{\circ}C$. The activation energies for lysine loss obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 6.9 to 4.4 Kcal/mol and $Q_{10}$ values at $40^{\circ}C$ were 1.4 to 1.2. The values for browning were 15.7 to 14.4 Kcal/mol and 2.2 to 2.0 respectively. Shelf-life, defined as the time to reach 0.15 O. D./g solid or the limit of off-color deterioration by browning reaction, was extented longer than the halflife of Iysine loss, actually corresponding $75\%$ loss of available lysine. This suggested that the halflife of lysine loss might not be adequate to assess the shelf-life of the food system with high potential of protein, nonproteinous nitrogen compounds, and lipids.

Changes of pH, titratible acidity, undenatured whey protein contents and the rates of loss of available lysine in market milks were investigated to find out the effective indicators for identification and classification of different heat treatment. There showed no change of both pH and titratiable acidity among the heating methods in market milks. The contents of undenatured wheyprotein per 100ml serum were determined as 413.7mg(LTLT), 341.3mg(HTSP), 6.9mg(UHT pasteurized) and 96.6mg(UHT sterilized), respectively. Distinct differences of underatured whey protein contents accoriding to the heating method could be observed. The rates of loss of available lysine in heated milks compared to raw milk showed 1.4% (LTLT), 0.2%(HTST), 6.3%(UHT pasteurized) and 4.9%(UHT sterillized), respectively. The rates of loss of available lysine were not suitable to classify the UHT heating method.

In this study, three domestic and one foreign formulas for the infants up to 5 month old were examined to detect chemical changes such as pH, reactive sulfhydryl groups(RSH) content, 5-hydroxymethylfurfral(HMF) content, available lysine content, electrophoresis, and surface color caused by heat treatment for long term storage. In the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, A and B products showed similar pattern, while C product had a clearly distinguishable $\beta$-lacto-globulin band, but in casein, only D product showed a few strong casein band. RSH content, which indicate the extent of whey protein denaturation, ranged from 4.40 to 5.93 mmole/g protein. HMF content. which indicate the extent of Maillard reaction, ranged from 192 to 432 $\mu$mole/100g in formulas. B product showed the highest RSH and HMF content. Available lysine content ranged from 31 to 46 mg/g protein. Among them D product contain the highest available lysine content and others showed no significant difference. In conclusion, the domestic infant formulas showed higher RSH and HMF content than the foreign product and the available lysine content of the domestic products were lower than of the foreign product.

Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in boiled and dired fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid, brown pigments, and available lysine during the drying and the storage of boiled and dried shrimp (Metapenaeus joynri) was investigated. Fresh shrimps were bioled in 5% sodium chloride solution. The boiled shrimps were treated in two ways, sun drying and hot air drying at $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$. And the two dried products were stored at $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ for one month. The results obtained are as follows: TBA value increased up to 20 days and hereafter gradually diminished. POV was increased for processing and increased 15 days of storage. TBA value and POV increased rapidly while available lysine diminished during the sun drying and hot air drying. Brown pigment was increased during lipid oxidation but it was not statistically significant. This result implicits that the drying had greatly influenced on the oxidation of lipid and makes amino acids 'unavailable'. But there is no remarkable difference between the sun dried shrimps and the hot air dried shrimps so far as the lipid oxidation and available lysine.

Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in dried fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid and brown pigments, free amino acids and available lysine during the storage of dried sea eel, Muraesox cinereus, was investigated. And the inhibiting effect of antioxidant to lipid oxidation and its role to the protein quality were also discussed. From the results, TBA and carbonyl value rapidly increased while amino-N and available lysine diminished during hot air drying. This suggests that drying conditions greatly affected to the oxidation of lipid and making amino acids 'unavailable'. TBA value increased up to 20 days, and hereafter gradually diminished. Increase in TBA and carbonyl value and formation of fat oxidative brown pigment were closely related to the loss of free amino-N and available lysine. The loss of available lysine seemed to be affected by the formation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds rather than saturated carbonyl compounds. By the treatment of antioxidant, the loss of amino acids and available lysine was somewhat retarded. This may suggests that the oxidation of lipid or oxidative browning reactions are functioning to the loss of available lysine. In antioxidant treated sample, 23% of amino-N to the total amino-N in the fresh sample was lost after 20 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$ while the loss of amino-N to 39% in case of the control, and afterward the value treated to be slightly reduced or remained steady.

Lysine is known as a limiting amino acid in barley and easily inactivated by the browning reaction during processing or storage. The barley powders ground to 120 mesh in particle size were controlled at water activity of 0.44, 0.52, 0.65 and 0.75 by using saturated salt solutions and then stored at 35, 45 $55^{\circ}C$. Another portion of the sample of which the water activities were controlled as same above was stored at 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$ alternately with 7days interval. The reaction of available lysine loss in barley powders was found to be first order. The activation energies calculated from Arrhenius plot ranged $6.02{\sim}10.32Kcal/mole$, and $Q_10$ values were between 1.34 and 1.65. These kinetic parameters were used to predict the available lysine loss of barley powders under the fluctuating temperature storage The predicted shelf-life at various water activities tested was a little higher than the actual values.
