Variouss concentrationss of free malonaldehyde were prepared from 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxy propane (TEP). Spectrophoto-metric determination and HPLC analysis of free malonaldehyde instead of malonaldehyde-thiobaribituric acid (MA-TBA) complex were conducted. Malonaldehyde was well separated on a $\mu$Bondapak C18 column. The absorbances at 254 nm and the HPLC peak areas of free malonaldehyde increased with the increase in its concentration. The correlation coefficient between absorbances and peak areas was 0.998. The total time elapsed to conduct the whole procedure was less than 15 minutes. This method directly measured the amount of free malonaldehyde in a short period of time successfully. This procedure is expected to be used as a rapid, accurate and specific means to de-termine the development of lipid oxidation in food.

Free malonaldehyde was determined in nine kinds of ginseng polyacetylene-treated micro- some by HPLC analysis. Antioxidant activities of some phenolic compounds and ginseng saponin were also drtermined both by a new HVLC method and by THA method. A new HPLC system separaterl malonaldehyde at a retention time 5,6 min and showed a linear relationship between the peak are a and malonaldehyde concentration. Panaxnol showed the strongest activity among nine polyacetylenes and the addition of either chlorine or aletyl group reduced polyacetylene's own activity. Since C14-polyacetylenes such as panaxyne and panaxyne-epoxide had little or no antioxidant activities, S17-structure should be preserved to exert a radical-scvenging or trapping activity. The antioxidant activities of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid and catechol were much weaker than those of C17-polyacetylenes. Ginseng saponin showed no antioxidant activity. Since TBA reactive substances and malonaldehyde contents were almost the same in peroxiedized microsome. TBA value seems a good indicator for lipid peroxidation in this particular Fe+3 ADP/NADPH system.

Total malonaldehyde(MA) in several dried fishery products (Alaska pollack, anchovy, white bait and squid) was determined by distillation and TBA reaction. In particular, MA in a water extract of dried anchovy was fractionated into bound and free MA on a Sephadex G-10 column. Among the three elution peaks, two peaks were found to be bound MA representing 94.5% of the total MA in the water extract and free MA constituted only a minor peak.

Antioxidant activity of extracts from the submerged-liquid culture of mushrooms was measured using two systems : linoleic acid and mouse liver microsomes induced by various free radical sources. Mushrooms of Pleurotus ostreatus (Neutari), Phellinus linteus (Sanghwang), Paecilomyces japonicus (Dongchunghacho), Hericicum erinacium (Norugungdengyee) and Agaricus blazei (Shinryeong) in 1% mulberry tree powder-supplemented medium were incubated in a shaking incubator (200 rpm, $25^{\circ}C$) for 3 days. Hot water extracts of mycelial cultures were freeze-dried, followed by fractioning with hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol in the order. Antioxidant activity of each sample was examined in free radical-induced linoleic acid oxidation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS ) solution by measuring the amount of malonaldehyde (MA), and mouse liver microsomal systems by measuring the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). In linoleic acid oxidation system, hot water extracts from the cultures of Pleurotus ostreatus, Phellinus linteus, and Paecilomyces japonicus exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than aqueous or butanol fraction and the combined fraction of hexane, chloroform and ethylacetate, but the hot water extract from Pleurotus ostreatus culture was the strongest activity. The antioxidant activity of the hot water extract from Pleurotus ostreatus culture was stronger than any other fractions in mouse microsomal system. These results suggest that hot water extract of Pleurotus ostreatus culture, and the cultures of Phellinus linteus and Paecilomyces japonicus could be useful for functional materials to reduce the oxidation of lipids in food systems induced by free radicals.

Tocotrienols (T3) are minor plant constituents found abundantly in rice bran, which provide a significant source of vitamin E in animal feeds. T3 was reported to have an intrinsic hypocholesterolemic effect by inhibiting HMG-Co A reductase. It has similar antioxidative properties as tocopherols in food and biological system due to their similar chemical structures. However, the antioxidant activity and mechanism of T3 to scavenge free radicals and to inhibit the peroxidation of linoleic acid are less understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the scavenging effect of T3 on free radicals and its inhibition of peroxide formation. Free radical scavenging activity was monitored by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method whereas inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation was evaluated using the thiocyanate method. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test was used to determine malonaldehyde formation from linoleic acid peroxidation. Free radical scavenging activity increased with increasing concentration levels of T3. T3 exhibited 38.2, 78.6, 92.7 and 96.2% radical scavenging activity at concentrations of 2, 8, 32 and 128 ppm, respectively. At 128 ppm, it was highly effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. The activity of T3 evaluated by the thiocyanate method showed low absorbance values indicating a high level of antioxidant activity. All treatments showed similar trends in antioxidant activity when evaluated by both the thiocyanate method and TBA test.

The chronic effects of long-term ozone exposure and dietary factors on the lipid peroxidation were investigated in mouse lung and liver tissues. Eighteen groups of mice were exposed to ozone(0.25 or 0.50 ppm) or ambient air over an 18-month period. Within each esposure regimen. animals were fed diets containing different levels of antioxidants and unsaturated fat. Ozone exposure did not have an effect on the production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in lung and liver or free malondialdehyde in the liver at all levels of dietary vitamin E. An inverse relationship between the level of vitamin I supplementation and the concentration of lipid peroxidation products was observed. Results indicate the possible adaptation of animals to long-term continuous ozone exposure by unknown mechanism and the effectiveness of dietary vitamin I at sufficient level(30ppm) to protect against tissue lipid peroxidation regardless of the degree of unsaturation of the dietary fat.

Objective: The aim of this research was to explore the effects of dietary substitution of alfalfa hay by amaranth hay on production performance, rumen fermentation, nutrient digestibility, serum biochemical parameters and antioxidant ability in dairy cows. Methods: A total of 45 healthy Holstein cows with same parity and similar milk yield and body weight were randomly divided into 3 groups: control diet without amaranth hay (CON) or 50% and 100% alfalfa hay replaced by an equal amount of amaranth hay (dry matter basis, AH1 and AH2, respectively). All the cows were fed regularly 3 times a day at 06:30, 14:30, and 22:30 and had free access to water. The experiment lasted for 60 d. Results: The dry matter intake of CON and AH1 groups was higher (p<0.05) than that of AH2 group. Compared with AH1 group, the milk yield of AH2 group was reduced (p<0.05). Moreover, dietary substitution of alfalfa hay by amaranth hay increased (p<0.05) milk fat, ammonia nitrogen and acetate concentrations. However, the crude protein digestibility of AH2 group was lower (p<0.05) than that of CON group, while an opposite tendency of serum urea nitrogen was found between two groups. The neutral detergent fiber digestibility of AH1 group was increased (p<0.05) when compared to AH2 group. Amaranth hay treatment increased (p<0.05) the serum concentration of glutathione peroxidase in dairy cows. Compared with CON group, the malonaldehyde activity of AH1 group was decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dietary replacing alfalfa hay with amaranth hay (50% ratio) in dairy cows did not affect production performance but improved their antioxidant ability.

Thai-Native×Anglo-Nubian goat meat cooked by grilling (GR), sous vide (SV), and microwave (MW), was compared to fresh meat (Raw) in terms of flavor development. Non-volatile [i.e., free amino acids, nucleotide-related compounds, taste active values (TAVs) and umami equivalency, sugars, lipid oxidation, Maillard reaction products] and volatile compounds, were investigated. Notably, inosine monophosphate and Glu/Gln were the major compounds contributing to umami taste, as indicated by the highest TAVs in all samples. Raw had higher TAVs than cooked ones, indicating that heat-cooking removes these desirable flavor and taste compounds. This could be proportionally associated with the increase in aldehyde, ketone, and nitrogen-containing volatiles in all cooked samples. GR showed the highest thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (1.46 mg malonaldehyde/kg sample) and browning intensity (0.73), indicating the greatest lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction due to the higher temperature among all cooked samples (p<0.05). In contrast, SV and Raw exhibited similar profiles, indicating that low cooking temperatures preserved natural goat meat flavor, particularly the goaty odor. The principal component analysis biplot linked volatiles and non-volatiles dominant for each cooked sample to their unique flavor and taste. Therefore, these findings shed light on cooking method selection based on desirable flavor and preferences.

Antioxidative characteristics of dihydroxyphenylalalnine(DOPA), melanin and enzymatic oxidation products of tyrosine(EOPTs) were studied in a model system. EOPTs were prepared by the tyrosine-tyrosinase reaction at pH 6.5 and $25^{\circ}C$ at various time intervals(0~120min). All EOPTs were brown in varied intensities with increased absorption at 200~210, 280, 310~320nm, and 450~490nm. EOPTs obtaiend at the early stage of the reaction(1~3min especially) showed a higher antioxidative activity than those from the later stage on the inhibition of peroxide, conjugated dienoic acid and malonaldehyde formations in linoleic acid autoxidation. Additionally among the substances of tyrosine, DOPA and melanin, DOPA showed the highest antioxidative activity while that of tyrosine was the lowest during the linoleic acid autooxidation. It was observed that DOPA and melanin had the ability of free radical scavenging, which may party contribute to their antioxidative activity.

Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in dried fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid and brown pigments, free amino acids and available lysine during the storage of dried sea eel, Muraesox cinereus, was investigated. And the inhibiting effect of antioxidant to lipid oxidation and its role to the protein quality were also discussed. From the results, TBA and carbonyl value rapidly increased while amino-N and available lysine diminished during hot air drying. This suggests that drying conditions greatly affected to the oxidation of lipid and making amino acids 'unavailable'. TBA value increased up to 20 days, and hereafter gradually diminished. Increase in TBA and carbonyl value and formation of fat oxidative brown pigment were closely related to the loss of free amino-N and available lysine. The loss of available lysine seemed to be affected by the formation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds rather than saturated carbonyl compounds. By the treatment of antioxidant, the loss of amino acids and available lysine was somewhat retarded. This may suggests that the oxidation of lipid or oxidative browning reactions are functioning to the loss of available lysine. In antioxidant treated sample, 23% of amino-N to the total amino-N in the fresh sample was lost after 20 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$ while the loss of amino-N to 39% in case of the control, and afterward the value treated to be slightly reduced or remained steady.
