In order to investigate the composition and the actual status of extractive nitrogenous compounds in the fresh 'Gae-bul' (echiuroid), a kind of echiurida (Urechis unicinctus), the extract was analyzed separately into extractive nitrogen, free amino acids (FAAs), oligopeptides, nucleotides and related compounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds, using specimens collected at fish market in April 1988. The extractive nitrogen of echiuroid was $601{\sim}610mg/100g$. Thirty-two kinds of FAAs were found, and the total of them in it was $2,437{\sim}2,609\;mg$. Glycine, alanine, taurine, and serine were the major FAAs in the echiuroid extracts. The large amount of glycine $(1,075{\sim}1,171mg)$ was noted in the extract. The sum of ATP and its related compounds was $3.04{\sim}3.12\;{\mu}mol/g$, and predominant compound was the AMP. Besides, CTP, GTP, UTP and their related compounds were also detected, and the total amount of them was $1.92{\sim}3.74\;{\mu}mol/g$. The lower homarine, trigonelline, TMAO, TMA, and creatine were detected in the extracts. The extractive nitrogenous constituents of medium size and large size echiuroid were almost the same level each other. The total nitrogens of the compounds analyzed for each samples accounted for more than 90% of the extractive nitrogen in this study.

In order to investigate the composition of dried layer, Porphyra yezoensis cultured at the south coast of Korea, the dried laver was analyzed separately for extractive nitrogen, free and combined amino acids, ATP and related compounds and quaternary ammonium basis using specimens collected monthly from January to April 1998. The extractive nitrogen contents of dried layer extracts were $976\~1,196\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). Twenty-eight to thirty-one kinds of free amino acids were found in the dried laver extracts and their total amounts were 5,648-6,845 mg/100 g (on dry basis). The extracts were rich in free amino acids such as alanine, glutamic acid, taurine, phosphoserine and aspartic acid. Eighteen to twenty-two kinds of combined amino acids from oligopeptides were found in the extracts and their total amounts were $1,194\~1,406\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). The amounts of ATP and related compounds were $111.6\~195.5\;mg/100\;g\;(3.30\~6.00{\mu}mol/g$ on dry basis). Homarine was detected in all samples but glycinebetaine, $\beta$-alaninebetaine and $\gamma$-butyrobetaine disappeared during processing, TMAO was detected in all samples but low TMA was found in some. During processing of dried layer, P. yezoensis, free amino acids, ATP and its related compounds were increased but the other constituents such as combined amino acids, TMAO and TMA and betaines were decreased in all specimens.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two amino acid fertilizers on the growth of creeping bentgrass and N uptake. Fertilizer treatments were designed as follows; non-fertilizer (NF), control (CF), recommended amount (ALF), double amount (2ALF) of amino acid liquid fertilizer (AaLF), recommended amount (ASLF) and double amount (2ASLF) of amino acid liquid fertilizer contained with saponin (AaSLF). Turf quality of treatments of AaLF and AaSLF such as turf color index, chlorophyll index and root length was similar to the treatment of CF. Dry weight and content, uptake and availability of N were investigated highest in the 2ALF and 2ASLF. These results suggested that foliar application of AaLF and AaSLF was enhanced turf quality and growth of creeping bentgrass by stimulating uptake and availability of N.

Three lots of Chung-Kook-Jang were prepared by the use of 2 strains of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus natto. For four samples taken from each lot in 12 hrs interval changes of nitrogenous compounds, insoluble protein, water soluble protein, peptides, free amino acids, amino and ammonia nitrogens during Chung-Kook-Jang fermentation, were studied together with the changes of moisture, pH, proteolytic enzyme activity. In addition the average peptide length of the peptides of a Bacillus subtilis lot was determined by the method of molecular sieving using ion exchange resin. The results were as follows: 1. The contents of moisture and total-nitrogen changed little in all samples throughout the fermentation as it would be expected. 2. In all three experimental lots the pH became higher gradually from the initial value of 6.65 to the final $7.5{\sim}7.85$ during the fermentation. Proteolytic enzyme activities, in accordance with this pH change, steadily increased up to $48{\sim}60$ hrs. of fermentation and then slightly decreased, probably affected by the high pH. The most strong proteolytic activity was observed in the experimental Chung-Kook-Jang fermentation lot using the Bacillus subtilis K-27 isolated by the author. 3. The contents of insoluble protein nitrogen in soybeans increased markedly (5%) by the cooking, after steeping 12 hrs in water. During the Chung-Kook-Jang fermentation, however, it decreased from 1/2 to 1/10 of that of the cooked soybeans. 4. The contents of water soluble protein nitrogen (5%) whereas, greatly decreased to the value of 1.0% by the cooking; but little changed further during the fermentation, 5. The total contents (0.25%) of peptides, amino, and ammonia-nitrogens, PAA-N., increased almost double by the cooking and steadily became higher as the fermentation proceeded, reaching finally up to$4{\sim}7%$ in 72 hrs fermentation. 6. The amounts of free amino acids of soybean generally decreased during the processing of cooking, even some of them like glutamic acid were destroyed completely, However in the subsequent Chung-Kook-Jang fermentation for 72 hrs., they showed from several to a few hundreds folds increases depending upon the kinds of amino acids. Valine which was contained in HCl-hydrolyzed steeped or cooked soybeans in amounts $220{\sim}267mg%$ was not detected at all as the free amino acid in all fermented samples. 7. Average peptide length (APL) of all fractions, eluted and fractionated by using the Dowex-50 ion exchange resin column, and fraction collector showed the highest value for the cooked soybean and then decreased as the fermentation proceeded. The APL value of effluent showed the highest in 12 hrs fermented sample, The value decreased thereafter by fermentation.

A pot experiment was carried out using Seomjin-byeo and Samgang-byeo to investigate the effects of nitrogen and sulfur on the growth, yields, and sulfur containing amino acid content of rice. The yields and number of tillers at 50 days after transplanting were increased with the increase of the amounts of nitrogen and sulfur, but N/S ratio was decreased in both varieties. There were a positive correlations between yield and contents of nitrogen and sulfur in straw and brown rice, but a negative correlation between N/S ratio and yields at harvesting stage. Crude protein contents increased with the increase of amounts of nitrogen and sulfur. contents of amino acid containing sulfur in brown rice were positively correlated with the sulfur and nitrogen contents in rice straw.

Fermented traditional soybean paste(doenjang), koji soybean paste by Aspergillus oryzae, natto soybean paste by Bacillus natto and koji & natto soybean paste by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto were analyzed for compositions of amino acids and contents of nitrogens. Amino type nitrogen was the highest in fermenting for 90 days as $271{\sim}868\;mg/100g$, and its contents were in the order of koji soybean paste>traditional soybean paste>koji & natto soybean paste>natto soybean paste in all samples tested. In compositions of total amino acids, glutamic and aspartic acids were rich in koji soybean paste but big differences were not observed in all samples. But some differences were observed in free amino acid compositions in all samples, that is, glutamic acid, tyrosine, lysine and aspartic acid were detected more abundantly. Sum of free amino acids for 90 days were in order of koji soybean paste>traditional soybean paste>koji & natto soybean paste>natto soybean paste. The ratios of free to total amino acids were $3.28{\sim}19.81%$ for 45 days, but increased to $10.88{\sim}25.10%$ for 90 days, and in order of traditional doenjang>koji doenjang>koji & natto doenjang>natto doenjang. Methionine and histidine showed higher ratios of free to total amino acid but lower in glutamic acid and aspartic acid. These results suggest that koji and traditional soybean paste of having high ratios of free amino acids to free and total amino acids may be more favorable in soybean paste fermentation.

사료에 있어서 가장 중요한 영양소 중에 하나는 단백질이다. 단백질은 가축의 성장, 유지, 생산근육, 효소, 호르몬, 우유, 털 등)에 필수적인 영양소이다. 가축의 단백질 요구량은 가축의 성장단계, 개체크기, 유전적인 능력 등에 따라 달라진다. 그러므로 가축에게 공급되는 단백질의 양은 정확하게 평가되어야한다. 너무 과도한 단백질 공급은 동물이 불필요한 에너지를 생산하게 만들고 너무 적은 단백질 공급은 아미노산 결핍이 일어나게 할 수 있다. 가축이 요구하는 정확한 양의 단백질을 공급하는 것이 중요하고 이를 위해서는 사료내 단백질의 양을 정확하게 분석하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 사료에 있어 단백질 함량은 사료 내 질소의 양을 정량해서 간접적으로 환산하고 추정한 조단백질(Crude Protein)로 표현한다. 샘플내의 질소가 모두 아미노산에서 온 것이라고 가정하고, 단백질이 평균적으로 16%의 질소를 가지고 있기 때문에 (1/0.16=6.25) 정량한 질소수치에 단백질 환산 계수 6.25를 곱해서 표현한다. 그러나 사료원료마다 아미노산 조성이 다르기 때문에 사료원료마다 다른 단백질 환산 계수를 사용해야 한다는 주장도 있다. 단백질 환산 계수에 관한 리뷰논문을 보면 대두의 경우 5.71에5서부터 유제품의 경우 6.38에 이르기까지 다양하다. 그러나 논란의 여지가 있기 때문에 이렇게 매트릭스마다 다른 단백질 환산 계수를 사용할 경우 계산식 옆에 사용한 환산계수를 적어 주어야 한다. 사료 내 조단백질을 정량하는 방법은 켈달법(Kjeldahl method), 듀마스법(combustion method), 근적외선분광분석법(NIR, Near Infrared) 등이 있는데 여기서는 주로 사료분석기관과 사료업계에서 조단백질 분석에 많이 사용하고 있는 켈달법과 듀마스법을 비교해 보고자 한다.

Following the previous report(Kang et al, 1974), the conditions of cooking for shelling process of oyster were discussed, and the content of nitrogenous compounds in the cooked-released fluid of oyster by different cooking conditions has been investigated. The heating condition of $110^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes was adequate for effective shelling and the condition of meat content in cooking of oyster. The contents of total nitrogen, protein nitrogen, nonprotein nitrogen and amino-nitrogen were seemed to be increased with heating time, and the tendency was to be more exact in the cooking condition of $110^{\circ}C$. The content of nitrogenous compounds at the cooking condition of $110^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes was determined: total nitrogen, $225.6\;mg\%$ protein nitrogen, $54.4\;mg\%$; amino-nitrogen, $89.2mg\%$. The content of free amino acid was also analysed: arginine, $26mg\%$; histidine, $12.1mg\%$; tyrosine, $2.7mg\%$; leucine, $2.2mg\%$; lysine, $1.9mg\%$ Trace amounts of glutamic acid, isoleucine, serine, threonine, and glycine were detected.

The effects of gamma irradiation on changes of chemical compounds of fermented shromp with low salt were studied. The shirmp was salted NaCl concentration of 10%, 15% and 20%, and irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0kGy. Amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), trimethylamine (TMA) and neutral protease acivity were examined during ferentation at 15$^{\circ}C$. A sample with 30% salt concontration was also prepared as a control. The initial contents of AAN, VBN, TMA and protease acitivity were not affected by gamma irradiation. The contents of AN, VBN and TMA were incteased with fermentation period. But, the more increased NaCl concentrations and the higher irradiation dose, the loss increased content of chemical compounds and protease activity were found. Protease was increased until 4~5 weeks and then decreased gradually. The results showed that the chemical compounds and protease activity of salted abd fermeted shrimp prepared with 15% NaCl contentration and 10 kGy irradiation dose, or 20% and 5 kGy or higher were maintained the appropriate level of quality up to 10 weeks of storage compared with the control.
