Two lepidopteran species, Matsumuraeses phaseoli (Matsumura) and Maruca vitrata (syn. M. testulalis) (Fabricius) were reared on artificial diets, and analyzed in their developmental characteristics. Photoperiod was supplied with 16L/8D for M. phaseoli and with 13L/11D for M. vitrata, respectively. Both species passed five larval instars with discrete sizes of head capsule width. In a constant environment ($25^{\circ}C$ and 65%RH), the developmental period of M. phaseoli egg, larva and pupa was 3.9, ca. 16.0 and 8.9 days, respectively, and over 80% of M. phaseoli larvae could develop into pupae, most of which emerged into adults. Newly laid eggs could be stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 15 days with over 50% hatchability. Similar developmental traits were shown in M. vitrata. However, a low temperature preservation was not applicable to M. vitrata eggs.

Male adults of bean bug, Riptortus clavatus Thunberg (Heteroptera: Alydidae), release aggregation pheromone (AP) attracting both sexes of adult and nymphs, which its egg parasite, Ooencyrtus nezarae (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) exploits the pheromone to find host. The AP consists of three components; (E)-2-hexenyl (Z)-3-hexenoate (E2HZ3H), (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate (E2HE2H), and tetradecyl isobutyrate (TI). We analyzed composition of the pheromone components of bean bugs from different geo graphical locations of Korea and Japan. The attractiveness of different blends of AP components to R. clavatus was also tested in the fields in Jinju, Korea and in Kumamoto, Japan. Composition ratios (E2HZ3H: E2HE2H:TI) of the AP of Jinju and Iksan populations were 1:1.4:0.2 and 1:0.8:0.2, and those of Tsukuba and Kumamoto populations were 1:2.8:0.2 and 1:1.5:0.1, respectively. In field tests, traps baited with ratio of 1:1:1 (E2HZ3H:E2HE2H:TI=16.7:16.7:16.7mg/rubber septum) and 1:1:0.5(E2HZ3H:E2HE2H:TI= 20:20:10mg/rubber septum) attracted significantly greater number of adult bugs than that of 1:5:1 (E2HZ3H:E2HE2H:TI=7.1:35.7:7.1mg/rubber septum).

The present investigation was initiated to find out the possible insect vector of the paulownia witches'-broom virus disease. 1. Among a number of piercing-sucking mouth type insects that were feeding on the witches'-broom infected Paulownia leaves, the tobacco leaf bug, Cyrtopeltis tenuis REUTER, was most abundant. Eggs, nymphs and adults of Cyrtopeltis tenuis were observed from the mid-August through the end of October. 2. It was found that Paulownia witches'-broom virus is transmitted by Cyrotopeltis tenuis. 3. On young Pnulownia plants, first symptom appeared twenty days after exposure to virus-bearing colonies of Cyrtopeltis tenuis. Forty days after exposure to these viruliferous insects, the characteristic symptom of Paulownia witches'-broom was apparent. 4. Paulownia witches' -broom virus was also transmitted by Cyrtopeltis tenuis to calendula and morning glory. No app"rent symptom was observed from tomato, carrot. aster, zinnia, cosmos, soybean and plantago at least until sixty days after exposure to the viruliferous colonies of Cyrtopeltis tenuis. 5. Calendula and morning glory appear to be highly suitable test plants for Paulownia witches'-broom vims because of their relatively short incubation period and distinct symptom appearance.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of lipid type on the physicochemical properties and sensory score of pork patties. The samples consisted of pork patties containing 20% pork fat (PP), 20% olive oil (OP), and 20% soybean oil (SP). The surface color, water holding capacity, increased rate in thickness, decreased rate in diameter, rheological properties, pH, VBN content and TBARS value were determined for the pork patties as the physicochemical properties: the sensory scores were also evaluated. The $L^*$ value for PP was the highest, and the lowest for OP among the samples (p<0.05). For the $a^*$ value OP was the highest among the samples, and the $b^*$ value of OP was lower than that of the PP (p<0.05). The water holding capacity and increased rate of thickness were higher for PP than for OP and SP (p<0.05). The cooking loss and decreased rate of diameter of PP were lower than those of OP and SP (p<0.05). The hardness and springiness of OP and SP were higher than those of PP, and SP had the highest chewiness among the samples (p<0.05). However, cohesiveness and gumminess were not different among the samples. The pH of SP was the highest among the samples, and the TBARS value of OP was lowest (p<0.05). The VBN contents were not different among the samples. The amounts of raw color for OP and SP were higher than that of PP (p<0.05). The raw aroma was not different among the samples. Also, roasted aroma and taste were not different among the samples, but the tenderness, juiciness, and palatability of SP were the highest among the samples (p<0.05).

We investigated the processing aptitude of rice embryo powder as covering and stuffing in rice cake. The quality characteristics of gelatin jelly with rice embryo powder as a stuffing was also examined. Covering steamed rice cake with 50% rice embryo led to less crumbling compared to that of 100% rice embryo powder. Jelly with rice embryo powder was not significantly different with control group in appearance(p>0.05). Covering steamed rice cake with 50% rice embryo powder was not significantly different compared to 100% soybean in color, flavor, taste, toughness, and overall acceptability(p>0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between sesame and rice embryo stuffing in sensory evaluation(p>0.05). When 5% rice embryo powder was added to gelatin jelly, hardness, springiness, and gumminess was not different to that of control(p>0.05), while chewiness did increase(p<0.05). Jelly added with 5% rice embryo had the highest taste acceptability.

The study was carried out to evaluate the anticancer effects in Korean soybean paste(doenjang) added with sun-dried salt(S-D), roasted salt(R-D), bamboo salt roasted once(B1-D) or bamboo salt roasted nine times(B9-D). In MTT assay, S-D, R-D, B1-D and B9-D exhibited a significant inhibitory activity(64-87% and 68-92%) against the proliferation of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells by adding 0.05% and 0.1% of methanol extract. Among Balb/c mice injected with sarcoma-180 cells, the bodies, livers, spleens, kidneys and heart weight of the mice administered with 4 kinds of doenjang extracts were heavier than the non-administered ones of the group. However, no difference was found between the control and doenjang administered groups. Four kinds of doenjang inhibited significantly the tumor growth, especially R-D and B1-D showing an inhibition of tumor cell growth up to 97% by the administration of 1.0 mg/kg methanol extracts of doenjang. The activity of natural killer(NK) cells was relatively high in mice administered with four kinds of doenjang. Particularly, mice administered with R-D methanol extract showed a stronger activity of 88.2%. The activity of glutathione S-transferase(GST) in mice administered with four kinds of doenjang was higher than that of the non-administered group. In particular, the GST activity was the strongest in the group with B1-D. As these results indicate the various kinds of salt have different effects on the anticancer activity of doenjang.

The fungi on Meju are known to play an important role as degrader of macromolecule of soybeans. In order to elucidate the origin of fungi on traditional Meju, mycobiota of the air both inside and outside traditional Meju fermentation rooms was examined. From 11 samples of air collected from inside and outside of 7 Meju fermentation rooms, 37 genera and 90 species of fungi were identified. In outside air of the fermentation room, Cladosporium sp. and Cladosporium cladosporioides were the dominant species, followed by Cladosporium tenuissimum, Eurotium sp., Phoma sp., Sistotrema brinkmannii, Alternaria sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizophyllum commune, and Penicillium glabrum. In inside air of the fermentation room, Cladosporium sp., Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium chrysogenum, Asp. nidulans, Aspergillus sp., Cla. cladosporioides, Eurotium sp., Penicillium sp., Cla. tenuissimum, Asp. niger, Eur. herbariorum, Asp. sydowii, and Eur. repens were collected with high frequency. The concentrations of the genera Aspergillus, Eurotium, and Penicillium were significantly higher in inside air than outside air. From this result and those of previous reports, the origin of fungi present on Meju was inferred. Of the dominant fungal species present on Meju, Lichtheimia ramosa, Mucor circinelloides, Mucor racemosus, and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis are thought to be originated from outside air, because these species are not or are rarely isolated from rice straw and soybean; however, they were detected outside air of fermentation room and are species commonly found in indoor environments. However, Asp. oryzae, Pen. polonicum, Eur. repens, Pen. solitum, and Eur. chevalieri, which are frequently found on Meju, are common in rice straw and could be transferred from rice straw to Meju. The fungi grow and produce abundant spores during Meju fermentation, and after the spores accumulate in the air of fermentation room, they could influence mycobiota of Meju fermentation in the following year. This could explain why concentrations of the genera Aspergillus, Eurotium, and Penicillium are much higher inside than outside of the fermentation rooms.

pH values in all samples were in the range of 5.04 to 5.32. pH of kanjang prepared with normal pressure(NPK) was higher than that of kanjang prepared with high pressure(HPK) and kanjang prepared with steam(SPK). Titratable acidity(TA) in all samples were found to be 4.26～7.72 mL. TA in HPK(5.99～6.96 mL) was lower than that in SPK(4.26～5.61 mL) and NPK(7.32 mL). Reducing sugar(RS) contents in all samples were in the range of 25.18 to 194.81 mg％. RS contents of HPK and SPK were a similar pattern and were higher than that of NPK. Major free sugars(FS) were glucose, fructose and xylose. In total FS, SPK was higher than that of NPK and HPK. Major organic acids(OA) were succinic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and citric acid. In total OA contents, SPK(40.38～76.96 mg％) was higher than that of NPK(55.85 mg％)and HPK(27.78～34.21mg％). OA contents in HPK and SPK were decreased slightly according to the heating time of whole black bean. The highest percentage of fatty acid (FA) in all samples was palmitic acid(33.28～43.51 ％ as area ％ of GC chromatogram), followed in a decreasing order by stearic acid(14.15～19.16％) and myristic acid(5.93～19.14％). The composition ratios of three FA to total FA ranged from 55.97 to 72.85＆. In all samples, there was myristic acid that was not contained in raw soybean.

Physiological, sensory and microbiological evaluations were conducted during fermentation of Chungkookjang. with Choi-cha (non-fermented green tea) powder in efforts to improve the sensory quality of Chungkookjang. Growth of fermentative microorganisms in Chungkookjang was inhibited by Choi-cha; the pH and VBN value decreased as the concentration of Choi-cha increased. Brightness (L) and redness (a) of Chungkookjang fermented with Choi-cha were significantly decreased, resulting in the appearance of all samples fermented with Choi-cha being less attractive than was the control. The sensory quality of Chungkookjang was significantly increased when Choi-cha was added up to 3%, (w/v), and off-odor was reduced. The antioxidative property of Chungkookjang fermented with 3% (w/v) Choi-cha was significantly higher than that of the control. This result indicated that the sensory quality of Chungkookjang was improved by fermentation with 3% (w/v) of Choi-cha powder.
