This fundamental study was undertaken to evaluate the nutritional value of Canola rapeseed meal which has been increasingly used as a by-product with the demand for the food oil resource. To compare the nutritive values among rapeseed meal and soybean meal, two experiments were carried out by using rats. One was a digestibility test of rapessed meal and the other was the growth rate of rats for 21 days. The chemical compositions , blucosinolate and amino acids of defatted repeseed meal and defatted soybean meal were analyzed. After one week feeding, nitrogen excretion in rats was measured to study FER, PER , TD , BW , and NPU of the meals. The amount of crude proteins in defatted rapeseed meal and defatted soybean meal were 45.5% and 37.9%. The glucosinolate content of defatted rapeseed meal was 0.04% . The body weight gain of defatted rapeseed meal was not signficantly different from that of defatted soybean meal (p>0.01). After one week feeding, there was no significant differencess in organ weight and serum components between two groups(p>0.01). It was presumed that the rapeseed meal has enough possibility for developing food to use as a protein source like a soybean meal protein. However, more careful experiments are needed to clarify the nutritional value of rapeseed meal of Canola since the lipids composition of blood tended to be different when the rapeseed meal and soybean meal were used.

Kochujang was prepared with various concentrations of Maesil extracts (0, 1, 2, and 5%) and the physicochemical characteristics of Maesil extracts added Kochujang ('Maesil Kochujang') were investigated during aging of 100 days. pH decreased slightly during aging. Titratable acidity, on the other hand, increased with aging, reaching at the highest level at the 40 days of aging and then decreased slowly. The changes of moisture content were complicated in the beginning, but after 60 days it increased slowly. The water activity decreased but salt concentration increased consistently in all samples during aging. L* and a*-values decreased during aging and L*, a*, and b*-values decreased significantly with high amount of Maesil extract in the sample. Soluble solid contents increased slowly while reducing sugar contents increased for up to 40 days and then decreased. Amino nitrogen contents increased steadily after 40 days of aging and they reached at $230.00{\sim}246.00mg%$ upon 100 days of aging.

After supplemention with the licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), mustard (Brassica juncea), and chitosan as food additives to low-salted doenjang containing 30% lower salt than control doenjang (12.7% salt), fermentation properties of doenjang were investigated for 40 days. Adding the licorice, mustard, and chitosan to low-salted doenjangs containing 10.2% and 8.9% of salt did not affect the acidity, viable cell count, or color of doenjang. A white pellicle-forming strain was detected at the surface of low-salted doenjangs (10.2% and 8.9% salt) but not the control doenjang and low-salted doenjangs added with mixed additives (licorice, mustard, and chitosan). The amino nitrogen content of 8.9% salted doenjang added with mixed additives at 20 days was 332 mg% and this value was similar to that of 12.7% salted doenjang at 40 days. In sensory evaluation, the 8.9% salted doenjang added the additives had the highest score in overall palatability. These results indicate that salt contents of doenjang could be lowered to 8.9% by adding licorice, mustard, and chitosan, resulting in improved palatability, shortened fermentation period, and inhibited abnormal fermentation.

Development for extraction method of sea tangle was investigated with addition of sucrose, NaCl, EDTA-2Na, SHMP, and hydrolysis with commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes. The total solids and protein yields were significantly increased by enzymatic hydrolysis or addition of NaCl and EDTA-2Na during boiling. The extract prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis followed by 2 hrs of boiling in 1.5% NaCl solution was significantly improved in solids and protein yield from 24.1% and 13.9% of 2 hrs of water boiling to 44.6% and 32.2%, respectively. The combined method increased the amino-nitrogen content but reduced the turbidity and viscosity. Extracts with a high intensity of total and seaweed-like taste as revealed by sensory evalution were obtained by combined method.

Two experiments were conducted to subdivide threonine (exp. 1) and glycine (exp. 2) requirements of broilers into maintenance and growth requirements. Purified diets containing five graded levels of threonine (exp. 1) and glycine (exp. 2) were fed to growing chicks to estimate threonine (exp. 1) and glycine (exp. 2) requirements for growth and maintenance. A model developed to divide threonine requirement for maintenance from that for growth yielded a requirement for growth of 8.946 mg/g weight gain and 0.341 mg/mg N gain; the maintenance requirement was 0.033 or 0.030 mg per unit of metabolic body size $(Wg^{0.75})$. The plateau of plasma threonine concentration occurred at 279.4 mg threonine intake/day. The total threonine requirement was 289.1 mg/day or 0.69% of the diet, 294.1 mg/day or 0.71% of the diet based on weight gain and nitrogen gain responses, respectively. These estimates were in close agreement with previous estimates of threonine requirements. From the relationship of weight gain to N gain, 5.46% of the retained protein consisted of threonine; the reported threonine content of chick muscle was 4.02%. The glycine requirement for maintenance could not be determined due to failure to obtain data allowing extrapolation to zero response. However, ADG increased slightly up to 0.56% glycine.

This study explored the chronic effects of different doses of the triazole fungicide tebuconazole on the growth, and metabolic and enzymatic functions of the filamentous paddy field cyanobacterium, Westiellopsis prolifica Janet. The growth of the cyanobacterium was determined by an estimation of the change in pigment contents. Chlorophyll-a, carotenoids, and accessory pigments such as phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, and phycoerythrin were shown to decline over a 16-day period by a factor of 92%, 93%, 83%, 95%, and 100%, respectively, with increasing doses of the fungicide. Metabolic and enzymatic activities were also adversely affected. Over the 16 days, a gradual rise in total phenol content was recorded when Westiellopsis prolifica Janet was treated with 60 ppm of the fungicide, despite the reduction in carbohydrates, proteins, and amino acids by 96%, 92%, and 90%, respectively. Moreover, the enzymes nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthetase (GS), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) also registered reductions of 93%, 90%, and 98%, respectively. This study indicates that tebuconazole, although an important fungicide used extensively in rice fields, exhibits an inhibitory effect on the growth and metabolic activities of Westiellopsis prolifica Janet and hence possibly on other varieties as well.

The effects of red-potato on the physicochemical properties of kochujang were investigated during fermentation. The number of yeast and aerobic bacteria in kochujang increased up to 4 weeks of fermentation, then the yeast number slowly decreased. Amylase activities also increased after 2~4 weeks of fermentation with the addition of red-potato. The Hunter L-value of kochujang decreased sharply and the a-value increased through the addition of starch syrup, causing major changes in total color difference as the ratio of red-potato increased. There was a direct correlation between the amount of red-potato with water activity and titratable acidity. The oxidation-reduction potential of kochujang decreased sharply after 12 weeks of fermentation, and was lowered with the addition of red-potato. As the ratio of red-potato increased, reducing sugars and ethanol contents of kochujang increased in the later stage of fermentation, while the amino-type nitrogen content was lower. Sensory results showed that a final percentage of 2% red-potato in kochujang was optimal for taste and overall acceptability.

Several coagulants was investigated for their effects on shelf-life of packed Tofu. The titratable acidity, amino nitrogen content in Tofu and the optical density of Tofu suspension were increased as the spoilage developed during storage. The number of microorganisms was increased to 13 million cells per gram after 1 day of storage at $30^{\circ}C$ in the Tofu prepared with $MgSO_{4}\;and\;CaCl_{2}$. But, the Tofu prepared from acetic acid was found to be more stable for storage. The quality of Tofu was maintained up to 12 days or 18 days at $30^{\circ}C\;or\;15^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results suggested that acetic acid was desirable as a coagulant of packed Tofu to extend its shelf life.

This study investigated the sensory characteristics (texture, odor, taste and color) of jerky produced from ground sea rainbow trout (SRT) Oncorhynchus mykiss frame muscle (FM). The hardness of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 453.9±91.0 g/cm², which was lower than that of commercial animal jerky (893.5±404.6 g/cm²) and commercial fish jerky (1,394.4±363.5 g/cm²). The difference in the hardness values of the ground SRT-FM jerky and commercial animal jerky was not significant. The volatile basic nitrogen content of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 48.3±1.6 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of commercial fish jerky (21.6±6.2 mg/100 g) and commercial animal jerky (18.2±6.3 mg/100 g). However, the fish odor of the ground SRT-FM jerky was masked by the presence of various additives. The hydrophilic and lipophilic browning indices of the ground SRT-FM jerky were higher than those of the commercial jerky. The total taste value of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 169.0, and the major amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. These results suggest that ground SRT-FM jerky would be acceptable to consumers.

This study compared the food quality of freshwater rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss cultured (in Pyeongchang, Pyeongtaek, Jecheon and Geochang) with that of imported salmon Oncorhynchus keta. The proximate composition of the four types of rainbow trout was 74.4-75.7% moisture, 18.3-19.4% crude protein, 3.1-4.3% crude lipid, and 1.3-1.7% ash. There were slight differences in the proximate composition of the four types of rainbow trout. No significant (P>0.05) differences were found in the red color and odor and taste intensities of the four types of rainbow trout based on the Hunter a values, volatile basic nitrogen content, odor intensity using an electronic nose and taste intensity using an electronic tongue. The crude protein, total amino acid, and mineral contents of rainbow trout cultured in Pyeongtaek were superior or similar to those of the trout cultured in the other three places. The rainbow trout cultured in Geochang had the highest hardness, at 858.5 g.
