In the present study, proximate compostions, fatty acid and amino acid compositions of wild and cultivated Dodok (Codonopsis laceolata B. et H.) were analysed. The contents of crude ash and crude protein were higher in the cultivated Dodok than in the wild Dodok. The main fatty acids in the total lipid, free lipid and bound lipid of wild and cultivated Dodok were linoleic acid, palmitic acid and followed by linolenic acid. In the case of wild Dodok, numerous unknown peaks were appeared significantly. The amino acids analyzed in wild aid cultivated Dodok were lysine, histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine and phenylalanine. Arginine was the predominant amino acid in both wild and cultivated Dodok.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the net flux response of nitrogen compounds (alpha-amino N, ammonia N, urea N, essential amino acids) across the portal-drained viscera (PDV), liver and total splanchnic tissues of mature wethers to increasing level of dietary fishmeal (FM) supplementation. Four wethers (average body weight, 64 kg) with chronic indwelling catheters into the portal, hepatic and mesenteric veins and the abdominal aorta were used in a 4${\times}$4 Latin square design. A basal diet consisting of 0.7 hay and 0.3 concentrate was fed twice daily with a fixed amount at 1.4 times maintenance energy (1.3 kg/day on a dry matter basis). The supplementation proportion of FM as treatment was 0, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.09 to the amount of the basal diet to contain 119, 137, 154 and 170 g crude protein per kg dietary dry matter, respectively. Blood flows through PDV and liver did not differ (p>0.05) among the treatments. Both net PDV release and hepatic uptake of alpha amino acid N increased linearly (p<0.05) in response to increased dietary FM, which resulted in similar total splanchnic release of alpha-amino N among the treatments. Similarly, increased dietary FM increased net PDV absorption and hepatic removal of ammonia N linearly (p<0.05). Hepatic synthesis and total splanchnic release of urea N increased linearly (p<0.01) with increased dietary FM, but PDV uptake of urea N did not respond to increased dietary FM. Linear regression equations between the increases in FM N intake and PDV net flux indicated that 0.34 and 0.30 of FM N was absorbed in the form of alpha-amino N and ammonia N, respectively. The results demonstrated that FM supplementation provides more alpha-amino N than ammonia N to the liver, but the alpha-amino acid N absorption is less than the expected metabolizable protein N from FM supplementation.

In order to find causes of the difference in taste between Korean and Japanese soybean paste, comparian was made on the free amino acids composition in soybean paste in those two countries. It was found that the free amino acid composition of commercial soybean paste made in Korea was analogous to homemade soybean paste, and the commercial soybean paste made in Japan, was analogous to homemade soybean paste. And there was a similarity on the point that the glutamic acid content was the highest of all free amino acids content in both Korean and Japanese soybean pastes. There was a difference in the mean total free amino acids content between Korean and Japanese soybean paste. The mean ratio of the glutamic acid content to total free amino acid content in Korean and Japanese soybean paste was on the range of $11.5%{\sim}22.6%$ and $10.4%{\sim}12.5%$, respectively. These results suggest that glutamic acid determines taste in Korean and Japanese soybean paste.

This study was investigated to evaluate the feasibility of protein concentrate for human food from ginseng leaf. The protein concentrate was prepared from ginseng green leaf by treating with cold acetone , followed by protein extraction with 0.2% NaOH containing 0.5% 2-mercaptoethanol and 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Proximate composition of the ginseng leaf protein concentrate (LPC) showed that fat and ash was less than 1%, protein was about 75%, total sugar and total saponin was 5% and 1.2%, respectively. As compared to the provisional amino acid pattern reported by FAO/WHO, ginseng LPC was found to be poor in S-containing amino acids, which were the first limiting amino acid. The amino acid score and E/T ratio of ginseng LPC were 43.1 and 3.02, respectively. Digestibility of ginseng LPC by pepsin and trypsin was lower than that of milk casein.

This study was investigated to compare the physicochemical properties between hot air dried ramie leaf (HR) and freeze dried ramie leaf (FR). There were no significant differences in moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and carbohydrate content depending on the drying methods, but the dietary fiber content was significantly higher in FR than in HR. The major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and leucine, and the contents of total amino acids, total essential amino acids, and essential amino acid ratios were higher in FR compared with HR. Major fatty acids were linoleic acid, palmitic acid, arachidic acid, and linolenic acid. Hot air drying caused a decrease in unsaturated fatty acids and an increase in saturated acids; however, there was no significance difference between the two different drying methods. The contents of vitamin A, E, and C in FR were higher than those in HR, and there were significant differences in the contents of vitamin A and C depending on the drying methods. Regardless of the drying methods, both HR and FR were abundant in order of Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Fe, Na, and Zn. The contents of total minerals, total organic acids and total free sugars in HR were significantly higher than those in the FR.

In the present report, the effects of blanching, steaming, and high temperature/high pressure processing (HTHP) on the amino acid contents of commonly consumed Korean root vegetables, leaf vegetables, and pulses were evaluated using an Automatic Amino Acid Analyzer. The total amino acid content of the samples tested was between 3.38 g/100 g dry weight (DW) and 21.32 g/100 g DW in raw vegetables and between 29.36 g/100 g DW and 30.55 g/100 g DW in raw pulses. With HTHP, we observed significant decreases in the lysine and arginine contents of vegetables and the lysine, arginine, and cysteine contents of pulses. Moreover, the amino acid contents of blanched vegetables and steamed pulses were more similar than the amino acid contents of the HTHP vegetables and HTHP pulses. Interestingly, lysine, arginine, and cysteine were more sensitive to HTHP than the other amino acids. Partial Least Squares-Discriminate Analyses were also performed to discriminate the clusters and patterns of amino acids.
