The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of iron-enriched cereal supplement and nutrition education program on nutritional status and life style of children. Elementary school students(n=170) aged of 11 years old at Seoul were participated. Subjects were supplemented with iron-enriched cereal for breakfast and provided with 2 sessions of nutrition education during 3 months. Intake of carbohydrate, iron, sodium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C, niacin, and folic acid was significantly increased after cereal supplement. Caloric intake was similar to KDRIs during both before and after cereal supplement. There was no improvement on exercise and dietary habits after nutrition education. Male students tended to sleep later, wake up early, and ate snack less than female. Cereal supplement was effective on improving nutritional status, but short-term nutrition education had no effect on modification of life style. Thus, further studies are required to develop long-term education program effective on improving lift style and eating habits in children.

계란에 함유되어 있는 영양소 함량을 좌우하는 주요한 요인은 사료적 요인에 의한 닭의 영양상태라 할 수 있으며, 이러한 사료적 변화에 현저하게 반응을 나타내는 것은 다수의 미량괄물질, 비타민, 불포화지방산 등이다. 본 실험에서는 지방산 강화란 16종, 비타민 강화란 4종 및 일반란 10종에 대해서 선분 함량을 분석하였으며, 지방사나 강화한 제품의 경우 16개사 제품에서 모두 DHA가 검출되었고, 6개사를 제외한 10개사의 제품에서 EPA가 검출되었다. DHA 함량은 두 개사 제품에서 69.84 mg, 46.16 mg을 나타낸 반면 대부분의 제품에서 100~300 mg 미만의 DHA 함량을 나타내었으며, $\omega$6/$\omega$3비율은 16개사 제품 모두 다른 비율을 나타내었다. 비타민 강화란은 비타민 A와 E를 동시 분리, 정량하였으며 비타민 A와 E 함량은 4개사 제품에서 유의차가 나타나지 않았으며, 일반란과의 비교에서도 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 요오드 강화란 및 사포니 강화란과 비교해서 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다.(P<0.05) 이상의 결과에서 특수란의 특수성분 함량은 각 브랜드별로 다양한 분포를 보였으며 특히 비타민 강화란의 경우 일반란과의 차별성이 크게 나타나지 않았다. 이는 특수란 제품에 대한 소비자의 신뢰도를 저하시킬 수 있어 앞으로 이에 대해 관리 및 대책이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

A modified method of urea adduct formation, in which water and organic solvent were used as the wetting agent and the reaction medium. respectively, is suggested to obviate methanolysis and to ease recovery in the separation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish oil. With the new method the fraction in which the total content of EPA. DHA and their precursors is more than 80% could be obtained. Although the total content of precursors in the concentrate was hardly affected by the kind of the wetting agent or the organic solvent, the content of EPA and DHA varied significantly depending on the organic solvent. This finding made it possible to selectively enrich the desired components. After DHA-enriched fraction (I)HA is 50%) was obtained by using pentane, EPA-enriched fraction ( EPA is 53%)) could be obtained from the residue of DHA-enriched fraction by using heptane.

Cholesterol-lowering effects of ${\beta}-glucan-enriched$ barley fraction were investigated in rats fed 0.5% cholesterol and barley as a fiber source. Male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were divided into six groups and fed different diets for 5 weeks: normal (cholesterol-free), control (cellulose 5%), fiber-free, and three groups containing ${\beta}-glucan-enriched$ barley fractions. Although plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels were not significantly different among different diet groups, ${\beta}-glucan-enriched$ barley fraction-fed groups had higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations than the cellulose control group after 5 weeks of experiment. The fecal excretion of cholesterol and triglyceride was significantly increased by barley diets. Fecal concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride in cellulose control group were 38.2 and 2.6 g/day, respectively, whereas those of barley-fed groups were $52.4{\sim}59.2$ and $6.8{\sim}9.5$ g/day, respectively, during the experimental period.

This study investigated the effects of dietary soy protein and Ca on the lipid profiles of rats fed fat-enriched diets. Rats were divided into two groups and fed either a casein-low Ca (Exp I) or ISP-high Ca diet (Exp II) for a control period of 4 weeks. The two groups of rats were again subdivided into 4 groups and fed one of 4 experimental diets for another 4 weeks. The experimental diets consisted of 18% beef tallow and 1 % cholesterol, in which either 20 % casein or ISP with one of two levels of Ca, high (1 %) or low (0.1 %). The concentrations of total lipid, cholesterol and triglyceride in serum, liver and feces were determined. At the end of the control period, the serum total lipid and cholesterol concentrations were low in the rats fed ISP-high Ca diet (67~76% and 83~86%). During the next 4 week period, these concentrations remained significantly lower in rats fed the diets containing ISP and high Ca compared with those on casein and low Ca diets (p ＜ 0.05). Total lipid and cholesterol concentrations in feces were significantly higher in the ISP-high Ca dietary group at 4 weeks, and high in both high Ca groups at 8 weeks. This study demonstrates that both soy protein and Ca reduce serum and liver cholesterol, triglyceride, and total lipid in rats fed fat-enriched diet, and that they have an additive effect when combined.

Reviewed biosynthetic pathways in green leaves of thiamine, riboflavin and folate as disclosed by the authors, and the regulatory systems operating on their biosynthesis and biodegradation as revealed since a potent inhibitory activity of ATP was found for the phosphatase reactions in 1965. Physiological roles of ascorbic acid in plant were evidenced by its higher content in green and flower leaves; the content in persimmon leaves for example was found ten or more times of that in citrus fruits. A close relationship existing between basic and development researches was illustrated by examples chosen from the author's researches. Examples cited were as follows; basic researches on vitamins were extended to the creation of thiamine enriched rice, to the growth promotion of rice plant by foliar application of thiamine, and to the use of ascorbic acid to prevent the appearance of beer cloudness; histological and biochemical studies on protein bodies in rice endosperm turned out amino acid enriched rice; techniques acquired in the studies on catalase were successfully employed for the utilization of single cell protein (MIPRON) for human food; conception of hybernation was led up to under-water or under-ground storage of cereal grains.

The present work is aimed to evaluate the protective effect of glutathione-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae FF-8 strain on carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats. The activities of liver markers (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase), lipid peroxidative index (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances), and the antioxidant status (reduced glutathione) were used to monitor those protective roles of FF-8 strain. The liver marker enzymes in plasma and the lipid peroxidation in the liver were increased when $CCl_4$ was treated but these were significantly decreased by FF-8 strain treatment. The hepatic concentration of glutathione in the current glutathione-enriched FF-8 strain fed animal was approximately twice as high as the normal, but this was slightly increased in response to $CCl_4$ plus glutathione-enriched FF-8 strain. The increased liver triglyceride concentration due to the $CCl_4$ treatment was significantly decreased by FF-8 strain and the reduced level reached to that of normal group. Administration of FF-8 strain in normal rat did not show any signs of harmful effects. Therefore, the current findings suggest that FF-8 strain could be an effective antioxidant with no or negligible side-effects and it might be useful for the purpose of protection treatment of hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in $CCl_4$-treatment in rat.

This study was conducted to identify the differences in proteomic characteristics between Ca-enriched king oyster mushrooms and general king oyster mushrooms. A combined high-throughput proteomic approach was employed to determine the expression profiles and identity of proteins using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The overall distribution patterns of the proteins were quite similar, but many of the protein spot intensities varied. A total of 10 proteins, representing a significant difference in the quantities of protein betweenthe two types of mushrooms, were successfully identified. Among these proteins, eight kinds were increased in the Ca-enriched king oyster mushrooms and two kinds were decreased. This study showed that proteomic analysis can help define specific changes in protein level and composition, which can occur in mushrooms where Ca content may or may not be enriched.

Three types of artificial microparticle diets were developed for rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) enrichment. The efficacies of enrichment with the artificial diets were evaluated and compared to those with commercial enrichment diets on the growth and survival of flounder larvae. Total lipid content was highest in the rotifer enriched with oil capsule (40.5% in dry weight). The n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid (n-3 HUFA) content was also highest in the rotifer fed with oil capsule (7.08% in dry weight). The flounder larvae fed on the rotifer enriched with oil capsule showed the highest growth compared to those fed on any other enriched rotifer (P<0.05). The survival ratio of flounder larvae fed on the rotifers enriched with oil capsule and emulsion oil were higher than those fed on any other enriched rotifer (P<0.05). From the feeding study, the growth and survival of flounder larvae were enhanced by feeding rotifer enriched with oil capsule compared to rotifer enriched with any other diets. The rotifer fed on oil capsule containing high contents of n-3 HUFA. Therefore, a significant relationship between the growth and survival of flounder larvae and the n-3 HUFA content of rotifer could be obtained.

Spirulina platensis was included at 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% of the diet as a phytobiotic either as a crude preparation or after enrichment by a biosorption process and fed to 126 Japanese quail and the eggs collected and examined for 6 weeks. Assessments were made of physical and chemical characteristics of the eggs. All treatments with added Spirulina increased unsaturated fatty acids and decreased saturated fatty acids with the largest responses for linolenic (omega 3) and oleic (omega 9) acids. The changes in fatty acids were greater with enriched than crude Spirulina. These results suggest that eggs from quail fed with Spirulina may have positive effects on human health.
