Cheongkukjang is a traditional fermented soybean food in Korea that is used in the manufacture of functional foods. This study was conducted to assess vitamin contents and sensory qualities of powdered Cheongkukjang dried by oven drying, far-infrared drying and freeze drying. Vitamins $B_1$, $B_2$, $B_6$, E, niacin and pantothenic acid were detected using all drying methods. However, vitamin D was not detected in the oven drying samples, and was most prevalent($82.47{\mu}g$/100 g) in the far-infrared drying samples. The sensory characteristics included color, off flavor, salty taste, bitter taste, sweet taste, roasted taste and after-taste. Oven drying and freeze drying samples exhibited highest and lowest color scores(5.62 and 2.0, respectively). Oven drying samples also exhibited the highest roasted taste score(4.76), although not significantly different from far-infrared drying samples(4.0, p<0.05), while the score of freeze drying samples(2.38) was significantly different from the other methods(p<0.05). It is concluded that freeze drying is most suitable.

The purpose of this study was to compare the nutritional menu value of self-selected diet in Korean adults residing in different regions. Subjects were recruited and divided into three groups according to the districts where they lived, which included rural district(n=137), coastal district(n=100), and urban district(n=117). Subjects were interviewed using a general questionnaire and 24-hour recall method for dietary intake. The average age of the subjects were 57.5 years for rural district, 57.0 years for coastal district, and 47.9 years for urban district. The contents of energy, calcium, zinc, vitamin $B_2$, and vitamin E in self-selected diet were 76.1%, 60.1%, 73.1%, 68.6%, and 80.4% of RDAs, respectively. Index of nutritional quality(INQ) for calcium and vitamin $B_2$ was below in 1 in region groups. The contents of calcium and vitamin E in self-selected diet of rural and coastal districts were significantly lower than those of urban district. The numbers of food items in diet of rural, coastal, and urban district were 14.6, 15.3, 15.1 for breakfast, 16.5, 11.8, 17.0 for lunch, 14.9, 12.1, 15.1 for dinner, respectively. However, there was no significance in total food intake by regions. The food intakes from cereals, mushrooms, vegetables of rural district, that from fishes of coastal district, and those from sugars, milks, oils of urban district were the highest among three districts. The numbers of dish items in diet of rural, coastal, and urban district were 4.1, 4.4, 4.1 for breakfast, 4.5, 3.7, 4.4 for lunch, 4.0, 3.8, 4.2 for dinner, respectively. Especially, the number of food and dish items in lunch menu of coastal district was the lowest among region groups. According to these results, it could be suggested to add milk and its products in lunch menu of rural and coastal districts and to supplement fish and shellfish like anchovy in diet of rural and urban districts. And it is recommended to increase food and dish items in diets of three region groups.

This study compared the nutritional composition of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss from different inland-based trout farms. The proximate composition ranges of the fish were 67.10-72.77 g/100 g moisture, 19.13-21.35 g/100 g crude protein, 5.12-11.72 g/100 g crude lipid, and 1.24-1.97 g/100 g ash. In addition, rainbow trout contained significantly different mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acid concentrations, ranging from 1.31 to 4.33 g/100 g and 1.21 to 3.2 g/100 g, respectively. The content of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids ranged from 0.68 to 1.68 and from 0.49 to 1.61 g/100 g, respectively. The n-6/n-3 ratio was in the range of 0.79-1.59. The vitamin content of the rainbow trout from the different farms was 14.83-49.30 ㎍/100 g vitamin A, 922.05-3,179.38 ㎍/100 g alpha-tocopherol, ND-73.59 ㎍/100 g, gamma-tocopherol, 2.97-14.55 ㎍/100 g vitamin D, and 76.63-126.03 ㎍/100 g vitamin B₂. Slight differences were observed in the crude lipid, fatty acid, and vitamins A and E contents among the of rainbow trouts from the different farms. The results suggest that the fish nutrient composition, especially that of lipids, was significantly different among rainbow trouts from different farms, but may not be related to the production area.

The contents of functional and nutritional components of 13 cultivars of Chinese cabbage (CC, $Brassica$ $rapa$ subspecies $campestris$) were analyzed to compare the effects of soil pH of the greenhouse (pH 6.2) and outdoor (pH 7.6). The CC cultivated on pH 6.2 (CC-6.2) soil contained significantly increased amounts (2-9 fold) of pectin, crude protein, vitamin C and vitamin E compared to the counterpart (CC-7.6). The contents of ash and the minerals (Ca, Fe, Na, and Mn) were also significantly increased in CC-6.2. However, CC-6.2 contained 40-50% lower contents of reducing sugars, cellulose and crude fat than CC-7.6. CC-7.6 contained more glucosinolates, gluconasturtiin (18.33 vs. $1.16nmol{\cdot}g^{-1}$ wet weight) and gluconapin (145 vs. $2nmol{\cdot}g^{-1}$ wet wt), than CC-6.2. In conclusion, CC-6.2 had an improved texture (high pectin and low cellulose) and nutritional value (high in protein, Ca, Fe, vitamin C, and E), whereas the CC-7.6 had better taste (high in reducing sugars) and anticancer functionality (high in glucosinolates).

Different parameters of subclinical mastitis were compared in 327 cattle and 493 buffaloes and the effect of immunopotentiating agents on subclinical mastitis in these animals was studied. Subclinical mastitis was detected in 8.2 percent buffalo and 24.0 percent cow quarter by modified whiteside test (MWT). In both the species there was decrease in lactose contents with increase in the degree of MWT reactivity i.e. $4.8{\pm}1.14$ to $2.31{\pm}0.82$ in cattle and $5.01{\pm}1.47$ to $2.36{\pm}1.02$ in buffaloes. While the chloride contents of the milk increased with increase in the MWT reactivity i.e. $0.19{\pm}0.4$ to $0.30{\pm}0.06$ in cattle and $0.20{\pm}0.04$ to $0.31{\pm}0.13$ in buffaloes. Micro-organisms belonging to Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Bacillus, Streptococcus, Enterobacteria, Corynebacterium groups and yeasts were isolated from subclinical mastitis cases. Vitamin E and Levamisole cured 64.5 and 60.0 percent cases of subclinical mastitis in buffaloes but only 32.0 and 24.0 percent cases in cattle. Cure was not affected by the degree of MWT and the type of organisms involved.

This study was investigated the effect of antioxidative vitamin supplementation ($\beta$-carotene 175 mg, vitamin C 200 mg, vitamin E 33.5 mg) for 12 weeks on antioxidant status and autistic related behaviors in autistic children. The antioxidative vitamin-supplemented children had significantly lower concentrations of toxic mineral, such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) in hair, while they had higher concentration of antioxidant minerals (Se, Zn, Fe) in hair. Antioxidant vitamin supplementation for 12 weeks reduced free radical while it increased the hair levels of serotonin compared to the beginning of the study. Additionally, antioxidative vitamin supplementation resulted in significant improvement in social age. These results indicate that the consumption of antioxidative vitamin supplementation for 12 weeks in autistic children may increase plasma antioxidant mineral concentration, resulting in reduced toxic mineral and free radical and improved autistic behavior.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the proximate components (water, crude ash, crude protein, crude fat, and carbohydrates) and nutritive components (vitamin A, C, E, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids) of rice flour and develop several rice bread recipes using rice flour. The water, crude ash, crude protein, crude lipid, carbohydrate contents of rice flour were measured to be 8.53%, 0.10 g, 6.80 g, 0.14 g and 84.43 g, respectively. No vitamin A was detected in the rice flour, and vitamin C and E contents were found to be 8.30 and 0.3467 mg/100 g, respectively. Calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, and sodium contents were measured as 6.23, 65.05, 9.78, 0.17 and 2.84 mg/100 g; the large amount of potassium helps to discharge the sodium. Rice flour has nine kinds of essential amino acids in it; essential amino acids form 45.15% of rice flour's content. which is higher than 32.3%. Fatty acids were barely detected in the rice powder; saturated fatty acids were measured as 31.25 mg/100 g, and unsaturated fatty acids as 25.54 mg/100 g. Regarding essential fatty acids, linoleic acids were measured as 41.01 mg/100 g, and linolenic acids as 2.20 mg/100 g. The researcher used rice loaf bread as the base and developed rice bread recipes using rice flour to make a total of 11 items: 8 items with 75% rice flour (rice bagel, rice sweet red-bean bread, rice butter roll bread, rice mocha bread, rice buttertop bread, rice custard cream bread, and rice streusel), 2 items with 80% rice flour (stollen and rice hobbang), and 1 item with 85% rice flour (rice donut).

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in physicochemical properties of Spergularia marina Griseb by blanching. The proximate composition, free sugar, free amiao acid, organic acid, vitamin and mineral composition of raw and blanching Spergularia marina Griseb were compared. After blanching treatment, the moisture and carbohydrate contents of Spergularia marina Griseb increased, but the crude protein, crude fat and crude ash contents decreased. Total free sugar content decreased by 62.50% compared with raw Spergularia marina Griseb after blanching, and the reduction of galactose was the largest in free sugars. The raw and blanched Spergularia marina Griseb contained all the essential amino acids, except tryptophan. The total amino acid and essential amino acid contents were reduced by blanching, but the essential amino acid ratios of the raw and blanched Spergularia marina Griseb were similar. The amounts of all the detected organic acids were reduced by blanching, except acetic acid. Spergularia marina Griseb was found to contain high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and minerals, but these were reduced by blanching. These results showed that most of the nutrients contained by Spergularia marina Griseb are decrease by blanching. Therefore, the blanching conditions that can reduce nutrient loss of Spergularia marina Griseb must be established.
