Experiment were conducted to study effect of pre-wilting on the quality of silage. Herbage samples were taken on November 11, 1981. Italian ryegrass and rye plant at grazing stage were taken and wilted to adjust their dry matter contents to the range of 15.8 to 53.2% and ensiled in order to evaluate the effect of pre-wilting on the chemical composition and nutrient loss of silage. Both prewilted and unwilted grass material were ensiled in small polyetylene film bag and stored under room temperature. 1. The formation of total acid decreased by increasing DM content, however, lactic acid content of the total organic acid increased. 2. In the silage, the loss of DM declined as DM content increased. 3. The quality of silage estimated by organic acid constituent was improved as DM content in the herbage increased. 4. The production of $NH_3-N$ decreased by increasing degree of prewilting. 5. In vitro dry matter digestibility was not affected by prewilting.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate spatial and temporal variability of water quality in 10 reservoirs and identify the key nutrients (N, P) influencing chlorophyll-a (CHL) along with analysis of empirical models and zonal patterns of total phosphorus (TP) and CHL. We analyzed total nitrogen (TN), TP, CHL, water clarity (Secchi depth, SD), and evaluated potential limiting nutrient using ambient N:P ratios and previous criteria of ambient nutrients. Water clarity and CHL varied largely depending on the seasonal monsoon and type of reservoir, but trophic state was diagnosed as eutrophy, base on mean CHL in most reservoirs. The peak of TP did not match the contents of CHL due to rapid flushing during the high run-off period. In the reservoir of DR, regression coefficient in the $P_r$ was 0.510 but was 0.159 in the $M_o$, while the TP-CHL relation in the YR increased during the monsoon compared to the premonsoon. The regression coefficient in the $P_r$ was not statistically significant but the value of $M_o$ was 0.250. TP showed similar longitudinal zonal gradients among the reservoirs of DR, YR and JR. Empirical models of TP-CHL, based on overall data, showed that CHL was determined by phosphorus($R^2=0.244$, p=0.0019). Regression analysis of CHL-SD showed a stronger linear fit ($R^2=0.638$, p<0.001) than the TP-CHL model.

Chemical compositions of dried Auricularia polytricha mushroom were analyzed when the dried mushroom were soaked in distilled water at different soaking condition. Physicochemical properties of soaked mushroom were investigated. Compositions of chemical components were 12.6% crude protein, 2.1% crude fat, 6.7% crude fiber and 6.2% ash. The contents of Ca, K, Mg were higher than those of other minerals in the sample, but Mn and Ni were of little quantities. The major amino acids of the sample were found to be aspartic and glutamic acid. The increase in the soaking time and temperature increased the ratio of water uptake, amount of water soluble solid, browning and pH value in the soak water. Ribonucleotide contents of the sample after soaking decreased depending on soaking time and temperature.

The food exchanges are frequently used to nutrition education and counseling for diabetes, weight control, hyperlipidema and etc. But it is difficult to find out food exchange lists with food exchange groups in the food composition table. This study was conducted to select e-food exchange of commonly used foods(456 foods) and improve search system based on internet. Also, the e-food exchange database was developed as having the proximate composition, mineral and vitamin content such as energy, moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, retinol equivalent, retinol, a-carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, refuse per 100g of each food. The e-food exchange database developed is basically based on the 6th food composition table(2001) of the National Rural Living Science Institution in Rural Development Administration, Korea. The 456 commonly used foods or 2,262, all foods can be searched easily in a new system. A specific food of e-food exchange can be searched by a given set of food groups or food name and can give information about food one exchange lists, weight and nutrient value per 100g of each food user-friendly on internet. It can be used to make a nutritionally balanced meal plan, nutrition education and counseling.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate nutritional value of traditional fermented foods by dietary intake of university students living in Chungnam. 210 students were asked for their daily food intake using 24-hour recall method for 3 days. And daily nutrient intakes from total foods and fermented foods were analyzed and compared. The mean weight, height, and BMI of the subjects were 67.36㎏, 174.39㎝, 22.15㎏/$m^2$ in men and 53.45㎏, 161.86㎝, 20.40㎏/$m^2$ in women, respectively. The daily intakes of protein, phosphorus, and vitamin B1 were 106.82%, 137.88%, and 108.99% of the Korean RDA. However, the energy, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B2, niacin, vitamin C intakes did not reached the RDA for Koreans. The fermented food intake was 9.09% of total food intake. And the percentages of fermented food intakes were 81.53% for Kimchi and 14.75% for Chang. The vegetable protein, vegetable oil, dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin and vitamin C intakes per 1000㎉ consumption from fermented foods were significantly higher than those from total foods. The fermented food intake showed positive correlation with iron, and plant iron intakes. In conclusion, the percentage of fermented food intake was about 9% and the major items were Kimchi and alcoholi beverages in university students. Fermented food intake may be important to improve the intakes of calcium, iron and vitamin.

The purpose of this survey was to investigate the status of dietitians' nutrition management in school lunch program. Questionaries were distributed to 233 dietitians of elementary schools and 10 dietitians of high schools in Seoul and Incheon provinces. The statistical analysis of data was completed using SPSS program. The results were summarized as follows : 78.4% of Seoul and 48.6% of Incheon among the whole students were served their meals in the classrooms. 70.0% of dietitians were 30-39 years old and 31.4% had a career less 5-7 years old. The standardized recipe was used in 71.6% of total schools but not effectively in both provinces. The students' nutrition and preferences were the very first to be considered in menu planning in both provinces. The nutrient value of meals was evaluated by the dietitians in most schools. Nutrition surveys of the meals which students are eating at home were surveyed in 27.3% of Seoul and 53.2% of Incheon. Students' preferences were studied regularly in 65.4% of Seoul and 78.9% of Incheon, and students evaluations of meals were carried out by the school lunch program in 74.6% of Seoul, and 68.8% of Incheon. In 49.6% of Seoul and 53.2% of Incheon, leftover foods were measured for each meal. 38.5% of Seoul used per a week and 48.6% of Incheon used per 2-3 week the processed foodstuffs. In 17.2% of Seoul and 25.2% of Incheon, nutrition education was executed by direct education, but educational methods were done mostly by letterssent to students' parents(76.9% of Seoul and 85.3% of Incheon). Evaluation studies on nutrition management, and nutrition education were hardly correlated to the dietitian's career and educational level. The number of meals served by the school lunch program have no related with the students' preferences. For improvement of nutrition management of school lunch program, it is necessary to develop new nutrition management model and nutrition education program.

This study was conducted to obtain data and offer advice regarding dietary intake at kindergarten and to recommend dietary habits to prevent childhood obesity. The study was conducted in 85 children aged 4 to 5 years. Body weight and height, dietary intakes of lunch served at Kindergarten and questionnaires for dietary behaviors in Kyeongnam area were studied. All subjects were classified by their weight-length index (WLI). According to the standard WLI values, 41.2% of the children were within the normal value ($90{\leq}$WLI<110), 23.5% of the children were overweight ($110{\leq}$WLI<120), and 35.3% of the children were obese ($WLI{\geq}120$). The mean energy intake at lunch for kindergarteners was $287.1{\pm}13.4$ kcal in the normal group, $307.6{\pm}10.2$ kcal in the overweight group and $323.7{\pm}8.6$ kcal in the obese group. The percent energy of estimated energy requirement (EER) was 21.8%. The intake of protein, iron, zinc, vitamin A, and pyridoxine were significantly different by WLI (P<0.05). A comparison of nutrients in the lunch menu provided with those of 1/3 recommended intake (RI) showed that preschoolers took in fewer calories, calcium, and vitamin $B_2$, and that their deficiency rates were high (81.2%, 76.5% and 70.6% of recommended levels, respectively). There was a significant difference in the preference of fruits and milk and dairy products by WLI. Therefore, a nutritional education program and new guidance in the proper nutrition management for kindergarteners should be developed to enhance nutritional status during childhood.

The growth characteristics and the cellular protein patterns of the Lactobacillus plantarum isolated and identified from oat silage were examined in order to confirm whether it will be used practically as probiotics or not. L plantarum was identified by morphological and biochemical tests including of final conforming by API 50CHL kit. The cultivation in MRS broth of the strain under the condition of different temperature, proved that they grew into $2.0{\times}10^{9}$ in $25^{\circ}C$, into $1.4{\times}10^{9}$ in $35^{\circ}C$ but they decreased into $4.5{\times}10^{5}$ growth in $45^{\circ}C$. The comparison of the growth by measurement of O.D600nm value after 24 hour cultivation between L plantarum and commercial probiotics, showed that the strain had a higher growth than commercial as 1.841 : 1.623. The measurement of it under bile acid's existence, indicated that this isolation was not influenced by bile acid and the tolerance was $3.2{\times}10^{9}$, $3.9{\times}10^{9}$ and $3.2{\times}10^{9}$, respectively, when each of 0%, 1%, and 2% oxigall existed. The examination of their antibiotics susceptibility by disk diffusion test, proved that L plantarum showed resistance against danofloxacin(5mcg), gentamycin(10mcg), kanamycin(30mcg), neomycin(30mcg) and streptomycin(10mcg). Based upon the test of the bacteriocin formation of this L plantarum, it was found out that the inhibition zone was not formed. In growth of L plantarum and E coli in nutrient broth, all E coli died out within 6 hours after cultures.

In this study, salad dressing was prepared with added soypaste and its quality characteristics were evaluated. In terms of nutrient composition, the soypaste dressing contained higher levels of protein, minerals, and vitamins, and fewer calories, as compared to commercial mayonnaise. In addition, sensory evaluations revealed that the soypaste dressing received higher scores for flavor, taste, viscosity, and over-all preference than the commercial mayonnaise. The viscosity and emulsion stability of the freshly made soypaste salad dressing were 2,400 cP and 80%, respectively. And during 8 weeks of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, the viscosity and emulsion stability values remained similar to those of freshly made dressing. With prolonged storage time, the Hunter's color b-value slightly increased, whereas the L- and a-values slightly decreased. In terms of antioxidant activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition were 2- to 3-fold higher in the soypaste salad dressing as compared to the commercial mayonnaise. And the soypaste dressing's antioxidant activity increased according to the storage temperature and time. Total microbial numbers increased to 6.2 log CFU/mL in the soypaste dressing, but E. coli was not detected. Overall, the results suggest that soypaste salad dressing could be introduced as a commercial product.

DO, ORP and pH values measured during SBR operation can provide information about removal reaction of organic contaminants and nutrient materials in the reactor. It is already generalized control strategy to control reaction phase time using their special patterns indicating the end of the removal reactions. However, those informations are limited to point out the end time of oxidative reaction in the aerobic phase or reductive reaction in the anoxic phase without giving quantitative value of influent loading level. In this research, a diagnosis algorithm which can estimate the loading level of carbon and ammonia as high, medium and low was developed using the basic measurements like DO, ORP, and pH. It will be possible to know the level of influent loading rate from those online measurements without experimental analysis.
