The various components of cultivated Poria cocos were studied to obtain basic data. The contents of moisture, ash, lipid, protein & fiber were estimated as 58%, 1.8%, 0.9%, 0.6% & 0.35 and the mineral contents of water extracts from poria cocos were Zn 0.63mg%, Cu 0.18mg%, Fe 1.56mg%, Mn 1.62mg%, Mg 5.28mg%, Ca 12.59mg%, Na 10.12mg% and K 52.39mg%. Among them, K, Ca and Na were abundant. Proximate components of Poria cocos were varied according to cultivated place & methods, harvest time and drying condition. Free sugars determined from Poria cocos water extracts were glucose whose contents were 1.16mg%, but sucrose, maltose and fructose were not detected. Amino acids compositions of Poria cocos were detected as free amino acids 9 kinds, constitunent amino acid 13 kinds and their contents were 1247.17mg%, 174.44mg%, Major amino acids were Phe, Iso, Leu, Tyr and His.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in proximate composition, free sugars, organic acids, fatty acids, amino acids, mineral components, hunter color values and calory values between freeze dried and steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume. Crude fat and crude fiber decreased during manu facture of steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume. The contents of sugars in steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume decreased during manufacture than that of freeze dried Gastrodia elata Blume. The contents of malic acid, oxalic acid, ketoglutaric acid, malonic acid and succinic acid in freeze dried were similar to those in steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume. Citric acid decreased in steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume. The contents of linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid in freeze dried were similar to those in steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume. The contents of free amino acids in steam dried Gastrodia elata Blume decreased during manufacture. The mineral component contents of the Gastrodia elata Blume were greater in the order of Mn

This study was carried out to investigate change in the components according to drying methods of jujube. Raw jujube was dried with five methods such as sun-drying, hot-air drying after pretreated with sunlight, blanching, microwave treatment, respectively. The contents of soluble sugar and protein in sun-dried jujube were higher than those of other drying methods. The free sugars of dried jujube were consisted of sucrose, glucose and fructose. And the contents of free sugar was not different by drying methods. The major organic acids of dried jujube were oxalic acid, citric acid and malic acid. The contents of glutamic acid, glycine and alanine were higher than those of other amino acids, and the content of each amino acid was not different by drying methods.

Solid contents, free sugars, phenlic compounds and glycyrrhizin of extracts obtained from by-products of Glycyrrhizia uralensis by three different methods, i.e., shaking, heating, and static methods, were determined. Solid contents of extracts obtained by shaking, heating and static method were 15.6%, 15.0% and 5.3%, respectively. Phenolic compound contents of them were 11.33 mg/100 mL, 11.21 mg/100mL and 10.15 mg/100 mL. Main free sugars in the extracts from the by-products of G. uralensis were fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose. Glycyrrhizin content of the extracts from the by-products of G. uralensis were 2.79%, 3.54% and 0.63%, respectively. Extract obtained by the shaking methods had an ability of donating electron to DPPH. The relative antioxidant effects of th extract obtained from the shaking method showed 70% inhibitory effect of peroxidation on egg yolk lecithin.

Free and esterified sterols in neutral lipid fractionated from the free lipid of Korean white ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) were analyzed by TLC and GLC to investigate the contents and composition ratios. Content of each sterol was as follows: ${\beta}$-sitosterol was about 51.60 mg%, stigmasterol, 8.93mg% and campesterol, 2.17mg%. Fine root tended to have slightly higher contents of sterols than main root. Linoleic and palmitic acid as the major fatty acids in esterified sterols occupied 70% of the total composition.

Albinism is a phenomenon that color of the body surface is changed to white orfaint brown from the specific color to the species by difficiency of pigments due to mutation or disease. This study was undertaken to investigate the experimental basis on the appearance of albinism in cultured flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. The skin and muscle from the normal and albinic flounder were used by measuring contents of amino acid free amino acid. The results were summarized as follows: Contents of amino acid in theskin and muscle are different from normal and albinic flounder. Phenolic and sulfuric amino acids in the skin of normal flounder were 2 times those of albinic ones. Especially tyrosine contents of the skin in normal flounder were 24 times higher than those. Methionine was 26 times higher than those Phenylalanine was 1.6 times higher. In free amino aicd phosphoserine and phosphoethanolamine were a little higher than that ones. The melanin formation of the skin in flounder was affected by substrates such as phenolic amino acid and cofactor such as sulfuric amino acid.

The changes of various lipid content and fatty acids composition of mung-bean sprout during 6 days. The results are summarized as follows 1) The total lipid contents of mung-bean sprouts are generally decreased during growing. 2) On T.L.C. gram, triglyceride contents are decreased and free fatty acids and sterol are increased with time. 3) The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids U/S are increased by six times after 4 days of mung-bean germination. 4) The contents of palmitic acid as main fatty acid in the mangbean but oleid, linoleic acid were increased after 2 days, 4 days, 6 days. 5) Total lipids from mung-bean sprouts contained fatty acid in order of linoleic acid, oleic acid. 6) The content of essential fatty acid are rich in 4 days.

We studied the folilar wiping effects of antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione and sodium azide), which effectively inhibited the chlorophyll bleaching or completely recorved the early stage of photosynthesis of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, on photosynthesis, stomatal resistance, free sugar, starch, and total saponin contents of ginseng under the excess light intensity (45 kLux) during 6 days. Ascorbate and glutathione, endogenous antioxidant, recovered photosynehtsis and stomatal resistance, and reduced the photoinhibition by the excess light intensity (45 kLux) on free sugar, starch and total saponin contents. But sodium azide, exogenous $^{1}O_2$ quencher, showed negative effect. Therefore, we assumed that carbohydrates and saponin metabolisms of ginseng by antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione) were normal. For the reduction of inhibition by excess light in ginseng a program for the higher activation of antioxidants and antioxidative enzymes in ginseng leaf will be desirable. Key words Antioxidants, ascorbate, glutathione, Photoinhibition, ginseng.

Biochemical property changes of garlic during various storages and marketing after storage were investigated. Content of enzymatic pyruvic acid increased by room and low temperature storage but decreased by CA and MA storage. Fructan contents decreased rapidly by low temperature storage, but restrained decrement by CA and MA storage. Free sugar increased during storage, but did slowly by room temperature storage. Green pigment development was observed when garlics stored for 90days at low temperature were processed into crushed form. This discoloration was small for garlics stored in CA and MA, and never occurred for room temperature stored garlics. When marketed after storage, content of enzymatic pyruvic acid decreased in garlic stored in room and low temperature storage, but increased in garlics which decreased during CA and MA storage. Fructan contents deceased but free sugar contents continuously increased with marketing period. Green pigment development decreased in crushed garlic after 30days at room temperature marketing, but increased in low temperature marketing with marketing time progress.
