Twenty-four cultivars of colored rice seeds were collected inside and outside Korea, and the antioxidant and antimutagenic activity was determined for the solvent-fractionated layers of their bran parts lipid soluble fraction, pigment containing fraction, and pigment component per se. As the serial organic solvent extraction proceeded, the overall tendency of antioxidant activities declined with increased chemical homogeneity of each fraction. This markedly showed the low antioxidativities of the pigment components from LK 1-3-6-12-1-1 and Gillimhukmi. Even all the colored rice cultivars, with considerable antimutagenic activity in 70% ethanolic extract, exhibited mutagenicity when measured with its pigment containing fraction (wx 124-163-45-7-1-1-1 and LKlB-2-1-1 being the strongest). The pigment content in each colored rice seeds decreased in the order of IR 17491-5-4-3-3>LK 1-3-6-12-1-1>LK 1D-2-12-1>RGS No.336, Elwee. In addition, a substantial difference in both chemical composition of the constituents and its amount could be found between the colored rice and cooking rice cultivars. This revealed that, compared to cooking rice, major components of organic solvent fractions from colored rice probably have long hydrocarbon chain moieties.

Contents of heavy metals in various bran layers of rice collected from Kyeong Nam province in 1978, were determined. The components of crude prote in, crude fat, crude cellulose, and ash in all the rice samples were found to be most concentrated in the rice of each layer of brown, 70% polished, and 90% polished, but the contents of crude protein (9.22%), crude fat (1.16%), crude cellulose (1.01%), and ash (0.38%) in polished rice decreased rapidly. On the other hand, the amounts of nitrogenfree extract in the rice were showed increasingly toward the inner layer and those of polished rice were 75.54%. The contents of lead, zinc, nickel, cadmium, and arsenic in bran layer of rice decreased in order of that of 90% polished, 70% polished, brown, and polished rice. Their amounts in polished rice were lead, $0.054{\sim}0.610ppm$; zinc, $9.830{\sim}19.093ppm$; nickel, trace-1.776ppm; cadmium, trace-0.039ppm; arsenic, ND-0.170ppm. It was shown that copper was more concentrated in the layer of 90% polished rice $(0.581{\sim}1.476ppm)$, and iron more in brown rice $(27.971{\sim}66.569ppm)$ than in any other portion, whereas mercury $(0.006{\sim}0.072ppm)$, chromium $(1.538{\sim}7.822ppm)$, and manganese $(57.371{\sim}179.252ppm)$ were much contained in the layer of 70% polished rice. Their amounts in polished rice were copper, $0.218{\sim}0.858ppm$; iron, $1.480{\sim}9.573ppm$; mercury, $0.006{\sim}0.027ppm$; chromium, ND-1.520ppm; and manganese, $6.730{\sim}11.562ppm$.

The preservation efficiency, quality and utilization of silage from 3 species of pumpkins (Mammoth pumpkin, Queensland blue pumpkin, Korean pumpkin) without and with 10, and 20% wheat bran additive were studied in this experiment. Silages were analysised and tested the chemical composition, pH and quality of silages between at 40-60 days and egg performance were carried out with mammoth pumpkin silage without additive. The results were summaried as follows. 1. The losses of all silage ware lower and similar as about 15% at 6 monthes following after silage-making but all raw pumpkins were spoilaged during the winter storaging. 2. The moisture content of silages were higher as about 97% in mammoth pumpkin silage, 94% in Queensland pumpkin silage and 91% in Korean pumpkin silage without additive and all nutrient content of silage without and with additive were depended on its content of raw silage material of pumpkins and wheat bran. The contents of moisture and N-free extract were slightly decrease but not significantly difference during the silaging and other contents were not so much changed. 3. Good quality of silage were made from all pumpkins with and without additive. Organic acid contents were 2.09-2.93% of lactic acid, 0.68-1.71% of acetic acid and 0% of butyric acid and it was pH 3.8-4.0 in silages. 4. Feed intakes, egg production and quality of egg were showed good result in 5.0 and 7.5% silage feeding group as D.M. base for egg performance. (P<0.01) 5. It was concluded that good quality of silage were made from pumpkins with and without wheat bran additive and it was suggested that poor quality feedstuff may be improved it feeding value by extended palatability with pumpkin additive silage.

Brown rice oil contains palmitic acid, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, tocopherol, squalene, etc. The oil including essential fatty acids was extracted from the domestic brown rice bran using supercritical carbon dioxide(SCC) process, and the extracts were analyzed with GC-MSD. The extraction amount of brown rice oil was dependent upon the operating pressure and temperature, and the fatty acid composition of oil was varied with the reduced density(${\rho}_{\gamma}$) of the SCC. About 70~80% of brown rice oil was extracted in 4 hours. Especially, squalene which was not found in solvent extract phase was identified in supercritical fluid extraction phase only.

Ileal and total tract digestibility and nitrogen (N) balance of diets with four different protein sources were determined in growing pigs. The diets were based on rice bran, broken rice and maize meal and contained Tra catfish by-product (CBP), processed using three different methods, and marine fish meal (FM). The CBP diets consisted of the by-product in meal form, ensiled with molasses, and CBP waste water (WWBD). The four diets were fed to four growing pigs fitted with post-valve T-cecum (PVTC) cannulas in a $4{\times}4$ Latin Square design. All experimental diets included $Cr_2O_3$ at 5 g/kg feed as an indigestible marker. The ileal apparent digestibility of organic matter and ether extract was higher on diet WWBD than on the other three diets (p<0.05), and the total tract apparent digestibility was higher on diet WWBD than on the FM diet (p<0.05). The ileal and total tract apparent digestibility of crude protein and amino acids was not significantly different among diets (p>0.05). No significant effects of diet were found on N-retention and N utilization. In conclusion, the catfish by-product meal, ensiled catfish by-product and processing waste water diets and the fish meal diet had similar ileal and total tract apparent digestibility, and similar N utilization in growing pigs.

Statistical design of experiments was employed to optimize the media composition for the production of laccase from Bacillus sp. PK4. In order to find the key ingredients for the best yield of enzyme production from the selected eleven variables viz yeast extract, glucose, zinc sulphate, copper sulphate, potassium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride, ferrous sulphate, sodium chloride, potassium dihydrogen phosphate ($KH_2PO_4$) and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate ($K_2HPO_4$), Plackett-Burman design was applied. The $MgSO_4$, $FeSO_4$, and $CuSO_4$ showed positive estimate, and their concentration optimized further. The steepest ascent method and Box-Behnken method revealed that 1.5 mM $MgSO_4$, 0.33 g/l $FeSO_4$ and 1.41 mM $CuSO_4$ were optimal for the laccase production by Bacillus sp. PK4. This optimization strategy leads to enhancement of laccase production from 2.13 U/ml to 40.79 U/ml. Agro-wastes residues replace the carbon source glucose in the optimized media namely sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, rice husk, and groundnut shell, among these groundnut shells (117 U/ml) was found to enhance the laccase production significantly. The laccase produced by Bacillus sp. PK4 was found to have the potential to degrade persistent organic pollutant benzo[a]pyrene.

During two years, four samples per year were collected in Vietnam from rice bran, cassava residue, brewer's grain, tofu residue, soybean meal, coconut cake, sweet potato vines and water spinach for chemical analysis and assessment of water holding capacity (WHC). The selected feedstuffs represent fibre-rich plant sources and agro-industry co-products commonly used in pig feeding in Vietnam. The content (g/kg DM) of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) varied between feedstuffs and ranged from 21 to 506 for CP, from 14 to 118 for EE and from 197 to 572 for NSP. Cassava residue had a high starch content of 563 g/kg DM, while sweet potato vines, water spinach, coconut cake and soybean meal had a high content of sugars (63-71 g/kg DM). The content of individual neutral sugars varied between feed ingredients, with the highest content of arabinose, galactose and glucose in tofu residue, the highest content of xylose in brewer's grain and the highest content of mannose in coconut cake. The content of uronic acid was high for cassava residue, tofu residue, sweet potato vines and water spinach (57-88 g/kg DM). The content of soluble non-cellulosic polysaccharides (S-NCP) was positively correlated ($r^2$ = 0.82) to the WHC. The content (g/kg DM) of CP, NDF, neutral sugars, total NSP, total NCP, S-NCP and total dietary fibre in tofu residue, water spinach and coconut cake varied (p<0.05) between years. In conclusion, diet formulation to pigs can be improved if the variation in chemical composition of the fibre fraction and in WHC between potential feed ingredients is taken into account.

Background: Literature is lacking on the effects of feeding by-product feed (BF)-based silage on rumen fermentation parameters, nutrient digestion and nitrogen (N) retention in sheep. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of replacing rye straw with BF-based silage as a roughage source on ruminal parameters, total-tract apparent nutrient digestibility, and N balance in sheep. Methods: The by-product feed silage was composed of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) (45 %), recycled poultry bedding (RPB) (21 %), rye straw (11 %), rice bran (10.8 %), corn taffy residue (10 %), protected fat (1.0 %), bentonite (0.6 %), and mixed microbial additive (0.6 %). Six sheep were assigned randomly to either the control (concentrate mix + rye straw) or a treatment diet (concentrate mix + BF-based silage). Results: Compared with the control diet, feeding a BF-based silage diet resulted in similar ruminal characteristics (pH, acetate, propionate, and butyrate concentrations, and acetate: propionate ratio), higher (p < 0.05) ruminal NH3-N, higher (p < 0.05) ether extract digestibility, similar crude protein digestibility, lower (p < 0.05) dry matter, fiber, and crude ash digestibilities, and higher (p < 0.05) N retention (g/d) Conclusion: The BF-based silage showed similar energy value, higher protein metabolism and utilization, and lower fiber digestion in sheep compared to the control diet containing rye straw.

In the present study, an attempt was made to use FV (Fatty acid ratio & Villavecchia reaction) value determination as a reliable method for the detection and analysis of the adulteration of sesame oils. FV value was defined as fatty acid ratio, C18 : I + C18 : 2/C16 : ${\times}C18$ : 3, times modified Villavecchia-Suarez test value. Seventy-four sesame oils collected from markets were evaluated using this method. Only II among 74 collected sesame oils were found to be pure sesame oil by FV value determination. In 63 adulterated sesame oils, it was revealed 23 samples were adulterated soybean oil, to with rice bran oil, 10 with sesame dregs extract oil, 8 with perilla seed oil, 7 with corn oil, 3 with cotton seed oil, and 2 with rape seed oil.

Armillaria isolates (KNU-A110, KNU-A234, KNU-A1022 and KNU-A1030) were excellent isolates for producing Gastrodia tuber in farm cultivation. Depth of soil between $10\;cm{\sim}19\;cm$ was favorable for producing Gastrodia tuber and rhizomorph at cultivated area. Eighty nine isolates were collected from 5 countries; 16 from Japan, 22 from USA, 26 from France, 4 from Africa and 21 from Korea. Mycelial fan of most isolates were better formed on basal medium with lemon extract than without lemon.A. mellea (KNU-A997) were strongly pathogenic to Gastrodia but A. gallica (KNU-A110) were excellent symbiotic to Gastrodia tuber. Mycelial growth were good on basal medium containing $0.25%{\sim}0.5%$ ethanol and sawdust spawn added wheat bran and corncob. Liquid culture inoculation were not only fast growth of mycelium but also reduction of contamination.
