Fernbraken is a popular and well-known wild grass, but the physiochemical properties of Korean Traditional pickling (Jangachi) during aging have been little reported. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical properties of Fernbraken Jangachi treated with a soybean sauce mixture for 6 weeks (1st pretreatment) as well as fermented with soybean paste, red hot pepper paste and soybean sauce for 7 weeks. Total polyphenol contents, acidity, salinity, sweetness (Brix), and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol of Fernbraken Jangachi all increased with aging period. On the other hand, pH and total acidity of Fernbraken Jangachi did not change much. Among the three kinds of Jangachies, Jangachi fermented with soybean sauce showed 2 fold higher salinity and total acidity levels compared to the others. Therefore, the physiochemical properties of Fernbraken Jangachi were dependent on the pickling properties, such as soybean paste, hot pepper paste or soybean sauce, and these properties maintained a certain level after 5~6 weeks of aging. Further, proper aging period for Fernbraken Jangachi was suggested as 10 weeks.

Changes in physiochemical properties of Sunchang sikhe kochujang, the most famous traditional kochujang, by red ginseng addition(1, 2 and 5% red ginseng on the total weight basis) were investigated. Measurements of physiochemical parameters such as reducing sugar content, alcohol content, amino type nitrogen content and color difference value were conducted during fermentation at 25oC for 120 days. Alcohol content was increased from the begining of fermentation, reaching at the highest level after 90 days of fermentation and then slowly reduced. Alcohol content of red ginseng kochujang was generally higher than that of control kochujang after 90 days of fermentation. Crude protein content of control kochujang and red ginseng kochujang were reduced during fermentation whereas amino type nitrogen content were gradually increased during fermentation. Amino type nitrogen content of red ginseng kochujang appeared to be slightly lower than that of the control kochujang. The reduction in amino type nitrogen content of red ginseng kochujang was negatively related to the level of red ginseng addition. Among color difference values, L and b value of both control kochujang and red ginseng kochujang were reduced by 30 days from the begining of fermentation and then started to be increased.

Amino acid substitution matrices are essential tools for protein sequence analysis, homology sequence search in protein databases and multiple sequence alignment. The PAM matrix was the first widely used amino acid substitution matrix. The BLOSUM series then succeeded the PAM matrix. Most substitution matrixes were developed by using the statistical frequency of substitution between each amino acid at blocks representing groups of protein families or related proteins. However, substitution of amino acids is based on the similarity of physiochemical properties of each amino acid. In this study, a new approach was used to obtain major physiochemical properties in multiple sequence alignment. Frequency of amino acid substitution in multiple sequence alignment database and selected attributes of amino acids in physiochemical properties database were merged. This merged data showed the major physiochemical properties through principle components analysis. Using factor analysis, these four principle components were interpreted as flexibility of electronic movement, polarity, negative charge and structural flexibility. Applying these four components, BAPS was constructed and validated for accuracy. When comparing receiver operated characteristic ($ROC_{50}$) values, BAPS scored slightly lower than BLOSUM and PAM. However, when evaluating for accuracy by comparing results from multiple sequence alignment with the structural alignment results of two test data sets with known three-dimensional structure in the homologous structure alignment database, the result of the test for BAPS was comparatively equivalent or better than results for prior matrices including PAM, Gonnet, Identity and Genetic code matrix.

Objective: The objective of this study was to characterize physiochemical and nutrient profiles of feedstock and co-products from canola bio-oil processing that were impacted by source origin. The feedstocks and co-products (mash, pellet) were randomly collected from five different bio-oil processing plants with five different batches of samples in each bio-processing plant in Canada (CA) and China (CH). Methods: The detailed chemical composition, energy profile, total digestible nutrient (TDN), protein and carbohydrate subfractions, and their degradation and digestion (CNCPS6.5) were determined. Results: The results showed that TDN_1x was similar in meals between CA and CH. CH meals and feedstock had higher, truly digestible crude protein (tdCP) and neutral detergent fiber (tdNDF) than CA while CA had higher truly digestible non-fiber carbohydrate (tdNFC). The metabolizable energy (ME_3x), net energy (NE_Lp3x, NE_m3x, and NE_g3x) were similar in meals between CA and CH. No differences were observed in energy profile of seeds between CA and CH. The protein and carbohydrate subfractions of seeds within CH were similar. The results also showed that pelleting of meals affected protein sub-fractionation of CA meals, except rapidly degradable fractions (PB1), rumen degradable (RDPB1) and undegrdable PB1 (RUPB1), and intestinal digestible PB1 (DIGPB1). Canola meals were different in the soluble (PA2) and slowly degradable fractions (PB2) between CA and CH. The carbohydrate fractions of intermediately degradable fraction (CB2), slowly degradable fraction (CB3), and undegradable fraction (CC) were different among CH meals. CH presented higher soluble carbohydrate (CA4) and lower CB2, and CC than CA meals. Conclusion: The results indicated that although the seeds were similar within and between CA and CH, either oil-extraction process or meal pelleting seemed to have generated significantly different aspects in physiochemical and nutrient profiles in the meals. Nutritionists and producers need to regularly check nutritional value of meal mash and pellets for precision feeding.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physiochemical properties of blackberry fruit beverage(BFB) and to develop a descriptive analysis procedure for evaluating the sensory characteristics of BFB. The amount of soluble solid, free sugar, pH, acidity, chromaticity, flavonoid, and anthocyanin of BFB were determined. All BFB samples demonstrated significantly different physicochemical properties(p<.01). Ten highly trained panelists identified the following eleven sensory attributes in the BFB and defined by standardized terminology for each attribute; turbidity, chromaticity for appearance characteristics, berry, grass, fermented, sweet, astringent, and sour for flavor characteristics, throat hit, refreshing, as well as astringent grade for textural characteristics. There were significant differences in all the eleven sensory attributes of the BFB samples(p<.001). Descriptive terminology used in the BFB analysis was capable of classifying the sensory attributes of the BFB. Based on these results, the analysis method and sensory evaluation techniques used in this study could be reasonably applied to other fruit beverages for establishing similar physiochemical characteristic and descriptive sensory attributes.

In this study the physiochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of soybean curd were prepared with saltwort (Salicornia herbacea L.). The moisture and protein of the saltwort soybean curd showed no difference among the samples. Ash and lipid were found to be the highest in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added. The contents of mineral(Fe, K, Mg, Zn) were highest in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added, and Ca content was high in the soybean curd to which 16% and 20% saltwort was added. DPPH (1,1-dipheny1-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity is a method of measuring the antioxidant power of food; this was high in the soybean curd to which 20% saltwort was added. Adding more saltwort led to higher scavenging activity. From the above results, it could be seen that the soybean curd, which is made by adding saltwort, contributed to enhancing the functionality of antioxidant activation and product quality.

The principal objectives of this study were to analyze the physiochemical properties of four mulberry fruit beverages (MFBs) and develop descriptive analysis procedures for evaluation of their sensory characteristics. Soluble solid, free sugar, pH, acidity, chromaticity, flavonoid, and anthocyanin of MFBs were determined. All MFB samples showed significantly different physicochemical properties ($p$<0.01). Ten highly trained panelists identified the following 11 sensory attributes in the MFBs and defined the terminology for each attribute : turbidity, chromaticity for appearance characteristics, berry, grass, fermented, sweet, astringent, and sour for flavor characteristics, and throat hit, refreshing, and astringent for textural characteristics. There were significant differences in the 10 sensory attributes among the MFB samples ($p$<0.001). In color, the value of MFB3 was significantly higher than those of others ($p$<0.05). In taste and overall acceptance, the values of MFB2 were significantly higher than those of others ($p$<0.01, $p$<0.001). Descriptive terminology of the developed MFBs could explain the sensory attributes of the samples according to this result. Based on this, proper analysis and sensory evaluation techniques could be applied to other fruit beverages to establish their physiochemical characteristic and descriptive sensory attributes.

This study explored the physiochemical and rheological properties of chicken breast sausages containing red ginseng marc (RGM) which contains useful components but is discarded. When compared to the control group, the use of RGM significantly increased the water holding capacity (WHC) as the particle size increased. As for the change in color value, addition of RGM resulted in an increase in a and b values; as the quantity was increased and particle size decreased, the a and b values increased significantly. The smaller the particle size of RGM, the greater was the radical scavenging activity. According to the results of the measurement of the viscoelasticity of chicken breast sausage containing RGM, the G' and G'' values increased with increasing amounts of RGM and particle size. Neither the addition of RGM nor its amount or particle size had any significant effect on gel formation temperature. The texture profile analysis (TPA) experiment examined the average TPA measurements of each sample under different measurement conditions, and no significant difference between the RGM and control groups were observed. In conclusion, when RGM is used in chicken breast sausages, the WHC, antioxidant capacity, and viscoelastic properties are affected. RGM can possibly be utilized in high value-added processed meat products if its quantity and particle size are altered based on product characteristics.

A chemical has been aging in soil environment is more less bioavailable than freshly added chemical. The amount of bioavailability of the aged chemical is different by bacterial strains. The difference could be depend on physiochemical properties of each strain. Phenanthrene was employed as an aged chemical. Seven bacteria were isolated from activated sludge and petroleum disposed soil. These strains were able to degrade phenanthrene and to grow using phenanthrene as a sole carbon source. According to the result of materialization and chemical extraction experiment, the bioavailable amount of aged phenanthrene which has been aged in Lima loam is different by each bacteria. Several physiochemical properties of each strain were tested to certify correlation with their different amount of bioavailability.
