Quality stability of dried lavers during roasting and storage was investigated by measuring the changes of pigment contents including chlorophyll a, carotenoids and biliproteins, the content of trypsin indigestible substrates(TIS), in vitro apparent protein digestibility, and dietary fiber. In heat treatment or roasting of dried laver, carotenoids and chlorophyll a were found to be more stable than biliproteins. Chlorophyll a and carotenoids were retained more than $85\%$ during roasting for 1 hour at $120^{\circ}C$ while biliproteins were retained only $10\%$ at the same temperature. The in vitro digestility of dried layers tended to increase with raising the roasting temperature. The in vitro digestibility of $85\%$ for the roasted laver at $100^{\circ}C$ was higher than that observed in the control of $80\%$. There was a correlation between the decrease in TIS and biliproteins as the laver was roasted. The soulble dietary fiber(SDF) content was substantially increased by heat treatment. The extent of protein digestiblility appeared to be related to the increase of SDF content. In the storage of roasted lavers under both water activities 0.1 and 0.65, the loss of the pigments and TlS were markedly retarded at Aw 0.1. Chlorophyll a was retained about $20\%$ at aw 0.65 and $75\%$ at aw 0.1 after 20 week sto-rage. At worst, more than $90\%$ of the carotenoids were lost at aw 0.65 after 20 week, while biliproteins were comparatively stable at the same water activity. TIS decreased about $15\%$ and in vitro apparent protein digestibility increased up to $92\%$ at aw 0.65 during storage.

The compositions of non-volatile organic acids, mineral, fiber and fatty acids of leaf mustard were investigated. Non-volatile organic acid contents were higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Of non-volatile organic acids assayed malic acid was the most abundant in both leaf (79.1 mg%) and leaf stalk (46.4mg%), followed by L-ascorbic, oxalic, citric and succinic acids. Mineral contents were also higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Both leaf and leaf stalk contained calcium most, followed by magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc and copper. It has also been found that leaf mustard contains more iron than any other Cruciferous vegetables reported. The major fatty acid of total lipid was $\alpha$-linolenir acid (63.2% in leaf, 55.3% in leaf stalk). The ratios of polyun-saturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (P/S ratio) were 4.1 in leaf and 2.9 in leaf stalk. The content of pectic substances, in terms of alcohol-insoluble solid, of leaf was 9.4% which was 1.4-fold higher than that of leaf stalk. Of pectic substances, hot soluble pectins (HWSP) were present most and followed by sodium hexametaphosphate soluble (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectins (HSP). Total dietary fiber content of mustard leaf was 2.68% and in general, higher content of total dietary fiber than leaf had. Neutral detergent fiber content was higher than acid detergent fiber, and cellulose was higher than hemicellulose by 2.1-fold in leaf stalk.

Objective: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of insoluble cellulose supplementation to diets on the growth performance, intestinal morphology, the incidence of diarrhea, nutrients digestibility, and inflammatory responses in altering environmental conditions of animals housing. Methods: A total of 108 male pigs (Duroc×[Yorkshire×Landrace]) were randomly allocated to one of three dietary treatments (cellulose 0%, 1%, 2%) and two environmental conditions (good sanitary condition vs. poor sanitary condition) to give 6 replicate pens per treatment with three pigs per each pen at 14 days post-weaning. Results: Pigs were in good sanitary condition had higher average daily gain (p<0.01) and improved feed efficiency (p<0.05) from day 1 to 14 after weaning compared to their counterparts. The interactions were found between environmental conditions and dietary treatments (day 7: crypt depth [p<0.01], villous height to crypt depth [p<0.001]; day 14: crypt depth [p<0.001], villous to crypt ratio [p<0.01]) in ileum morphology. Crypt depth was decreased (p<0.05), and villous to crypt ratio was increased (p<0.05) only in poor sanitary conditions. Pigs exposed to the good sanitary condition had higher (p<0.05) apparent ileal digestibility (day 7, gross energy; day 14, dry matter), apparent total tract digestibility (day 14, dry matter and crude protein) compared to pigs housed in the poor sanitary condition. Meanwhile, pigs fed a diet supplemented with 2% cellulose had decreased (p<0.05) apparent ileal digestibility (day 7, dry matter; day 14, crude protein), apparent total tract digestibility (day 7, dry matter; day 14, crude protein, gross energy) compared to pigs fed a diet supplemented with 0% or 1% cellulose. Conclusion: Our results indicated that a diet supplemented with 1% cellulose increased villous to crypt ratio, however feeding a diet containing cellulose (1% or 2%) impaired nutrient digestibility for 14 day after weaning in both good sanitary and poor sanitary conditions.

Nutritional composition, including total phenolics, tannins and nutrient components, of acorns of Q. actissima, Q. serrata, Q. variabilis and Q. mongolica were analyzed. Acorns were collected from each tree species, which were grown in a seed orchard. Contents of both total phenolics and tannins in acorns of Q. serrata were higher than those of Q. actissima (p<0.05). Interestingly, Q. serrata contained the highest amount of water soluble tannins (71 mg/g dw) and the lowest levels of water insoluble tannins (8.1 mg/g dw) among 4 oak species, resulting that acorns of Q. serrata had the lowest proportion of insoluble tannins. Among 4 oak species tested, Q. mongolicav acorns contained the highest levels of both total dietary fiber (TDF) and ascorbic acid, while the content of beta-carotene in Q. mongolicav was 52-fold lower than that in Q. variabilis ($520{\mu}g/100g$). Our result showed that nutritional composition of acoms was significantly different between oak species, indicating that tastes or nutritional values might be different as well among major oak species in Korea.

Background: Modifying lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise can reduce the risk of cancer. Psychological stress (PS) might be indirectly associated with cancer because it alters lifestyle factors. However, the relationship among these variables has not been fully investigated. Thus, we examined interactions between self-reported PS (SRPS) and habitual exercise on diet. Materials and Methods: In all, 5,587 men and 2,718 women were divided into "exerciser" and :non-exerciser" groips, based on whether they exercised reguarly, and classified into three SRPS levels: low, moderate and high. Diet was estimated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Using a general linear model, food and nutrient consumption was estimated for each SRPS level in the 2 exercise groups, and the interactions between SRPS levels and exercise were calculated. Results: In women, the intake of pork and beef, low fat milk and yogurt, natto (fermented soybean), carrots and squash, other root vegetables, mushrooms, seaweeds, and wine along with the nutrients vegetable protein, soluble, insoluble and total dietary fiber, daidzein, genistein, carotene, retinol equivalents, vitamin B2, pantothenic acid, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron demonstrated significant interaction with SRPS and habitual exercise (p for interaction <0.05). In men, raw and green leafy vegetable and fruit and vegetable juice significantly interacted with SRPS and habitual exercise (p for interaction <0.05). Conclusions: We suggest that certain foods and nutrients, which are thought to have a protective effect against cancer, interact with SRPS and habitual exercise, especially in women. This information is valuable for understanding and improving interventions for cancer prevention.

The physicochemical properties and cooking quality of Saechalssal bori (25% pearled ratio), which is a naked waxy barley, were investigated. The amylose, insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), total dietary fiber (TDF), and ${\beta}$-glucan contents of Saechalssal bori were 5.2, 10.8, 9.5, 20.3, and 3.7%, respectively. Pasting temperature, peak and final viscosity, and setback of Saechalssal bori were $66.5^{\circ}C$, 383.2, 231.3, and 55.6 RVU, respectively. The water absorption, expansibility, and soluble solid of Saechalssal bori were 232.2, 405.3, and 3.5%, respectively. As the ratio of water to grain increased, L value increased, whereas a and b values were decreased. The sensory evaluation showed that wateriness and overall acceptability increased with increasing ratio of water to grain, resulting in determining 2.1 times as the optimum ratio of water to grain. The cooked Saechalssal bori prepared using optimum condition had hardness (1.2 kg), cohesiveness (4.0), springiness (1.0), gumminess (5.1), chewiness (5.3), adhesiveness (0.2 kg), and A/H (0.8), respectively.

The effects of germinated brown rice flour on the quality characteristics of white wheat flour noodles were investigated. The insoluble dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber content of germinated brown rice flour were 5.1% and 4.2%, respectively. Water absorption, development time, and stability of farinogram decreased when germinated brown rice flour was added to white wheat flour. Brightness ($L^*$) decreased, but redness ($a^*$) increased in noodles made from germinated brown rice. Volume of cooked noodles did not change upon addition of germinated brown rice flour, but weight of cooked noodles decreased and the turbidity of cooked water increased. The cutting force of cooked noodles did not change upon addition of germinated rice flour. Addition of 10% germinated brown rice flour to white wheat flour did not have any effects on flavor, color, taste, appearance, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation.
