This study was carried out to investigate nutritional composition and physicochemical properties of waxy(WGR) and nonwaxy(NWGR) germinated brown rice. Amylose contents of WGR(moisture content 15.45 %) and NWGR (moisture content 15.02%) were 4.9% and 17.9%. Reducing sugar of those were 4.91% and 2.28%. The free sugar contents of WGR were glucose 0.42%, sucrose 0.15%, maltose 0.27% and that of NWGR were glucose 0.59%, sucrose 0.50%, maltose 0.24%, respectively. Color value of WGR and NWGR were L=60.30, a=2.12, b=23.52 and L=59.51, a=3.15, b=23.04, respectively. Degree of gelatinization of WGR and NWGR were 7.67%, 5.21% and hardness of WGR and NWGR were 7.53 kg$\_$f//$\textrm{cm}^2$, 8.93 kg$\_$f//$\textrm{cm}^2$. Vitamin E contents of those were 271.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, 310.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg and total dietary fiber contents of those were 4.21%, 3.17%. Total amino acids of brown rice, nonwaxy germinated brown rice and cooked germinated brown rice were 126.8 mg/l00 g, 90.8 mg/l00 g and 106.5 mg/l00 g, respectively. Among amylogram characteristics of WGR and NWGR, initial gelatinization temperature, peak viscosity, breakdown, setback were 42$^{\circ}C$, 498 B.U., 94 B.U., -48 B.D. and 70$^{\circ}C$, 212 B.D., 0 B.D., 123 B.D., respectively. Sensory properties of germinated brown rices were affected by color and flavor. Palatability score of WGR that intensity score of color and flavor were lower than that of NWGR showed high.

This study investigated the changes in chemical components, antioxidant compounds, and activity before (BG) and after germinated (AG) brown rice in order to promote the availability of these beneficial factors. The GABA content of BG and AG brown rice were 0.07~6.61 and 11.13~49.72 mg/100 g, respectively. The ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of AG brown rice was 1.77~70.25 unit/g fold higher than it was in BG brown rice. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, which are known to be related to antioxidation, were higher in BG brown rice than in AG brown rice. The total polyphenol contents of BG and AG brown rice were 10.52~36.38 and 11.38~26.33 mg/100 g, and the total flavonoid contents were 3.55~13.39 and 3.52~9.78 mg/100 g, respectively. Also, DPPH radical scavenging activity was 57.64~251.34 and 50.49~213.35 mg TE/100 g, respectively. ABTS radical scavenging activity and total tannin content showed a similar trend to DPPH radical scavenging activity. We expect that this data will be useful in the manufacturing of food products.

In order to increase the use of rice, ginseng Garaedduks and Topokki were made and the physicochemical and sensory properties were investigated. Topokki and Garaedduks were added with 0, 1, 3 and 5% ginseng powder and stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. The moisture contents were not different to the increasing amount of ginseng powder and increasing storage time for 48 hours. The moisture content of Garaedduks for control and 5% added ginseng powder were 48.08% and 49.62%, respectively. The L value in color of uncooked ginseng Garaedduk decreased according to the added amount of ginseng powder, and the b value in color increased significantly according to the added amount of ginseng powder and during 48 hours storage at $20^{\circ}C$. Textural analysis, measured using a texture analyzer, of Garaedduk revealed that hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness decreased significantly and adhesiveness increased according to the added amount of ginseng powder. In sensory evaluation, 5% ginseng Garaedduk (uncooked, cooked) scored higher in overall acceptability than those of the other samples. In cooking properties, water absorption and solid contents increased according to the added amount of ginseng powder. Therefore, Garaedduk containing 5% ginseng powder was the most preferable. These results implied that the degree of retrogradation of ginseng Garaedduk might be low due to its high dietary fiber content.

The nutrient contents of pumpkins depend on many factors, including the species, climate, soil type, and plant part. The nutritional compositions of five pumpkin cultivars (red boujjang, mini hong, mini gold, boujjang, and yakhobak) were investigated. To analyze the nutrient contents of the edible parts, the other parts (seeds, skin, and stem) of each pumpkin were removed. The results showed that the proximate compositions of the edible parts of the pumpkins ranged from 74 to 87 g per 100 g for moisture, 1.6 to 3.2 g per 100 g for crude protein, 10.1 to 20.7 g per 100 g for carbohydrate content, and 2.0 to 3.4 g per 100 g for total dietary fiber. The proximate contents of the pumpkin samples were not significantly different. The thiamine contents of the pumpkins, except for red boujjang, varied from 0.03 to 0.15 mg per 100 g, but that of red boujjang had the highest level (0.60 mg per 100 g). The vitamin C contents of the pumpkins, except for boujjang, ranged from 13.0 to 14.0 mg per 100 g, but that of boujjang was the highest (49.0 mg per 100 g). In particular, yakhobak showed the highest total carotenoid and folate levels (279.5 and $74.0{\mu}g$ per 100 g, respectively). These results will be useful for coming up with better pumpkin varieties through breeding, and established the nutrient compositions of pumpkins.

Metabolic trial with 3 fistulated sheep was conducted in a 3 $\times$ 3 Latin square design and feeding trial with 24 Hanwoo steers in 12 month of age for 20 months was conducted to investigate the replacing effect of rice straw with fermented spent mushroom (Flammuliua velutipes) compost (FSMC) on fermentation characteristics, ruminal effective degradabilty and whole tract digestibility of nutrients in sheep, and to examine the growth performance of Hanwoo steers. Experimental diets for the metabolic trial with sheep were commercial concentrates and rice straw in the ratio of 70 : 30 (CON, DM basis). Same concentrate with 30% FSMC and 70% rice straw (FSMC-30) and 60% FSMC and 40% rice straw(FSMC-60). Diets for Hanwoo steers in three treatments were same as for metabolic trial in replacing ratio of rice straw with FSMC. pH of rumen fluid in sheep was not affected by FSMC. Ammonia-N content in the rumen fluid was highest in the sheep fed FSMC-60 at 3h (P<0.045). The CON diet increased (P<0.001) acetate proportion at 1h and 3h post feeding compared to FSMC-60 diet while propionate proportion was highest in the sheep fed FSMC-60 diet for all the sampling times (P<0.027~P<0.002). Increased proportion of butyrate was observed at 30 min prior to feeding (P<0.031), and 1h (P<0.011) and 6h(P<0.039) post feeding from sheep fed FSMC-30 diet compared to those from sheep fed other diets. Effective degradability in the rumen was not influenced by experimental diets. Whole tract digestibility of crude protein (P<0.031) and neutral detergent fiber (P<0.006) tended to be increased in the sheep fed CON diet while corresponding values were lowest in the sheep fed FSMC-60 diet. Total body weight gain of Hanwoo steers for 8 months was not different among diets, thus daily body gain was not influenced by the experimental diets.

Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed, originated from Central America, is a nutritious food especially rich in dietary fiber and protein. In this study, we investigated the quality and sensory characteristics of Yanggang with chia seed powder (CSP). Red bean paste was replaced with CSP at 0% (Control), 1% (CSP1), 2% (CSP2), 3% (CSP3) and 4% (CSP4). The pH values of chia seed Yanggang tended to decrease from Control (6.84) to CSP4 (6.67); whereas, the moisture contents of Yanggang samples tended to increase. The soluble solid contents of CSP4 were the highest ($3.33^{\circ}Bx$), as compared to the Control which showed the lowest values ($2.77^{\circ}Bx$). In the CSP-added groups, the L-value (lightness), a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) were increased, while the ${\Delta}E$ (total color difference) was decreased, as compared to the control group. Hardness and springiness were both increased from control ($49.77g/cm^2$ and 464.80%, respectively) to CSP4 ($72.21g/cm^2$ and 532.43%, respectively). However, cohesiveness decreased from control (47.41%) to CSP4 (37.34%). Chewiness and adhesiveness showed no significant group-wise difference (p<0.05). Total polyphenol content ranged from 7.23 to 10.73 mg GAE/100 g, with a lower ABTS $IC_{50}$ of the CSP-added groups than that of the control group. Samples from the CSP-added as well as Control groups showed no significant differences among all items on the sensory evaluation test, except flavor. The results indicated that CSP had significant effects on the soluble solid contents and texture of Yanggang. Thus, the addition of 2% of CSP is desirable for making Yanggang.

This study examined the nutrient components and physicochemical properties of Acer termentosum Maxim. leaf as a natural health food source. To accomplish this purpose, the general and antioxidative contents of Acer termentosum Maxim leaf were measured. Total contents of carbohydrates, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash were 53.6%, 24.3%, 3.5%, and 3.5%, respectively. Caloric content of Acer termentosum Maxim was 246.5 kcal, while total dietary fiber was 46.7%. Regarding mineral contents, K was the most abundant mineral, followed by Ca, Mg, and P. Therefore, Acer termentosum Maxim is an alkali material. Total phenol contents of the 70% ethanolic extracts of Acer termentosum Maxim was $116.35{\pm}1.4mg\;GAE/g$. Total flavonoid contents of the 70% ethanolic extracts were $20.3{\pm}1.23mg\;RE/g$. The antioxidative activities of Acer termentosum Maxim. were significantly increased in a dose dependent manner on DPPH(1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt) radical scavenging, FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) activity, reducing power. It is expected that follow up study of Acer termentosum Maxim through developing processed food and evaluation of their functional properties would provide useful information as a source of functional foods.

The physicochemical properties of raw, freeze-dried, and hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were investigated and analyzed. The moisture content of raw Gaxtrodiae Rhizoma was 81.20%. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and carbohydrates of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were 7.61%, 6.21%, 1.50%, 2.55%, and 89.74%, respectively. The total dietary fiber (TDF) of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma was 11.68%. The K (1265.03 mg%) was the highest mineral found in Gastrodiae Rhizoma. Aspartic acid (1272.10 mg%) and glutamic acid (1249.50 mg%) in Gastrodiae Rhizoma were major amino acids. Linoleic acid (53.79%), palmitic acid (20.17%), oleic acid (11.93%), and linolenic acid (4.78%) were principal fatty acids in crude fat of Gaxtrodiae Rhizoma. Most of the free sugars of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma was maltose (11.04%). In color, the freeze-dried showed the highest lightness (94.52) and the $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried showed the highest redness(0.76) and yellowness (16.41). The color differences among freeze-dried, $40^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried, and $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were distinguished markedly. Vitamin C contents in raw, freeze-dried, and $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were 0.015%, 0.010%, and 0.002%, respectively. The organoleptic characteristics of raw, freeze-dried, and hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were evaluated and compared on the basis, 5 points of raw Gastrodiae Rhizoma by 9 points scale. The undesirable characteristics, such as fishy odor, sewage odor, bitter taste, bad and salty taste, decreased, while desirable characteristic such as sweet taste was maintained or increased considerably as drying temperature got higher.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate nutritive values of yeasts (Kluyveromyces fragilis and Candida utilis) according to growth stages (early log phase, log phase, stationary phase and death phase) and chemical treatment of their cell wall, Proximate, amino acids, fatty acids and nucleotides composition of the yeast samples was determined. Crude protein content was high in K. fragilis ($48\~59\%$) compared to C. utilis ($26\~43\%$). Crude lipid and fiber contents of the yeasts were below than $1.6\%$ and $3.3\%$, respectively. Conposition of aspartic acid, glycine, proline, leucine, Iysine and valine of K. fragilis were higher than those of C. utilis, and glutamic acid and arginine of C. utilis were higher than those of K. fragilis. Proximate and amino acids composition was not siginificantly influenced by growth stage of the yeasts. Major fatty acids of the yeasts in all growth stages were $C_{10-18}$. $C_{16-18}$ contents were relatively high in the early log or log phase and $C_{10-12}$ contents were relatively high in the stationary or death phase. However, n-3 highly unasturated fatty acids (C$\ge$20) in the all growth stages were not observed. This result indicated that these yeast strains could not be adequate as a dietary lipid source for marine fish. Composition of nucleotides and their related compounds (ATP ADP AMP, IMP and inosine) in the early log phase yeasts were lower than those in the log, stationary and death phase yeasts.
