We examined the quality characteristics of four kinds of Alaska pollack Theragra chalcogramma surimi (APS), five kinds of golden threadfin bream Nemipterus virgatus surimi (GTS), and two kinds of giant squid Ommastrephes bartrami surimi (GSS) used in Korea. The volatile basic nitrogen contents of APS, GTS, and GSS increased with decreasing grade to 6.8-9.8, 5.5-8.3, and 143.5-177.7 mg/100 g, respectively. The Ca²⁺-ATPase activities of APS and GTS decreased with decreasing grade to 0.63-0.83 and 0.60-0.80 pi μmole/min/mg, respectively. The Ca²⁺-ATPase activity of RA-grade GSS was 0.82-0.91 pi μmole/min/mg. The whiteness values of APS, GTS, and GSS heat-induced gels were 54.0-71.4, 53.9-71.0, and 52.2-70.3, respectively, and that of both APS and GTS decreased with decreasing grade. The gel strengths of APS and GTS heat-induced gels were 412.3-769.4 and 280.2-456.5 g·cm, respectively, and decreased with decreasing grade. The total amino acid contents of SA-grade APS, SSA-grade GTS, and RA-grade GSS were 17,328.1, 17,965.0, and 14,846.8 mg/100 g, respectively, and the major amino acids were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, leucine, lysine, proline, alanine, and phenylalanine. The primary minerals were sodium (136.6-164.9 mg/100 g), potassium (45.7-160.4 mg/100 g), phosphorus (35.0-73.5 mg/100 g), sulfur (22.8-56.4 mg/100 g), and calcium (18.0-203.4 mg/100 g).

To fortificate protein to soybean curd, 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80% (v/v) of egg white (EW) were added to soybean milk for the soybean curd preparation, respectively. Moisture, $Ca^{2+}$, crude lipid and ash content of the curd were decreased as EW increased whereas protein content, weight and volume, $Mg^{2+},\;K^{+},\;and\;Na^{+}$ incresed, and hardness also increased. In addition, coagulating temperature and hardness were lowered as EW increased. Color and taste panel score were not significantly different (p<0.01), however, texture and flavor score were lowered over 60% (v/v) EW addition. By adding EW (20, 40, 60 and 80%), sulfur containing amino acids were enriched 0.63, 1.20, 1.76 and 2.36 times, respectively compared to the control(0%).

Background: It is known that large dogs who are fed lamb and rice diets are at increased risk to develop taurine-deficiency-induced dilated cardiomyopathy. Since dogs obligatorily conjugate bile acids (BA) with taurine, we determined whether rice bran (RB) or other fibers (cellulose; CL, beet pulp; BP) would affect BA excretion and/or the taurine status of dogs. Results: Eighteen medium/large mixed-breed dogs were given purified diets containing CL, BP, or RB for 12 weeks. Taurine concentrations in plasma and whole blood were significantly decreased at week 12. The BP group, compared to the CL or RB groups, showed significantly lower taurine concentrations in plasma ($6.5{\pm}0.5$ vs $20.4{\pm}3.9$ and $13.1{\pm}2.0{\mu}mol/L$, respectively, P < 0.01, $mean{\pm}SEM$) and in whole blood ($79{\pm}10$ vs $143{\pm}14$ and $127{\pm}14{\mu}mol/L$, respectively, P < 0.01), lower apparent protein digestibility ($81.9{\pm}0.6$ vs $88.8{\pm}0.6$ and $88.1{\pm}1.2%$, respectively, P < 0.01), and higher BA excretions ($5.6{\pm}0.1$ vs $3.4{\pm}0.5$ and $3.4{\pm}0.4{\mu}mol/g$ feces, respectively, P < 0.05) at week 12. Conclusions: These results do not support the hypothesis that RB is likely to be a primary cause of lamb meal and rice diets, increasing the risk of taurine deficiency in large dogs. However these indicate that BP may contribute to a decrease taurine status in dogs by increasing excretion of fecal BA and decreasing protein digestibility, thus decreasing the bioavailability of sulfur amino acids, the precursors of taurine.

This study was conducted to optimize the rice paper roll processing conditions with frozen rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss meat (RPR-FRT) treated with polysaccharide and TGase using a response surface methodology and to examine their quality characteristics. The RSM results for the RPR-FRT showed that the optimum condition for the garlic-pepper mixture was 21.2 g and that for starch was 22.6 g based on 150 g of RPR-FRT. The RPR-FRT contained 58.47 g/100 g of moisture, 8.57 g/100 g of crude protein, 3.28 g/100 g of crude lipid, and 1.00 g/100 g of ash. The vitamin E content was 1,010.91 ㎍/100 g. Based on their contents, the samples could be considered good supplements for P, Cr, and Se. The RPR-FRT contained unsaturated fatty acids (75.84%), DHA (10.33%), and EPA (2.56%). Anserine, arginine, glycine, and taurine accounted for 41.93%, 11.27%, 7.13%, and 7.00% of free amino acids in the RPR-FRT, respectively. The sulfur compounds in the RPR-FRT constituted 73.16% of the total flavor compounds. The RPR-FRT prepared using the optimum conditions was superior in masking off-flavor and showed improved nutritional content.

For comparison of beef quality, four kinds of beef (Korean native cattle beef, dairy cattle beef, imported beef, cross-bred beef) were investigated through tenderness, juiciness and flavor related components measurement and organoleptic tests. Flavor related chemical components such as NPN, IMP, free fatty acid and free amino acids were analyzed, water holding capacity, contents of hydroxyproline and intramuscular fat were measured for evaluation of beef tenderness. Instron was also used for measuring beef tenderness as an objective method. Triangle test and descriptive analysis test were conducted for comparison and evaluation of preference of various beef samples. In hardness analysis using Instron, imported and cross-bred beefs had higher value than that of Korean native cattle or dairy cattle beef. Water holding capacity and pH of Korean cattle beef was higher than that of others. The intramuscular fat content of Korean cattle beef was highest, so it was expected juicier than other beef. In flavor related compound analysis, NPN content of Korean native cattle beef was the lowest, which shows it spent the least time among sample meats after slaughter. IMP, hypoxantine and inosine were most abundant in Korean native cattle beef. In free amino acids analysis showed that the proportion of basic acid and aromatic acid content of Korean native cattle beef was highest, whereas that of sulfur containing amino acid of imported beef was highest. TBA value of Korean native cattle beef was the lowest, and analysis of fatty acid composition revealed that the proportion of unsaturated fatty acid of Korean native cattle beef was higher than imported and dairy cattle beef, but similar to cross-bred beef. Organoleptic test was performed by triangle test and descriptive analysis. In triangle test, most panelist could distinguish Korea native cattle beef from imported beef and cross-bred beef, imported beef from cross-bred beef. In descriptive analysis which relys on subjective standards of panelists, there was no difference among beef in aroma, flavor and tenderness except juiciness. Even though contents of non volatile flavor compounds in Korean native cattle beef were higher than those of other beef samples, there were no significant differences in subjective panel test. The results showed that Korean consumers do not have common standards for beef quality evaluation.

Reaction between the $N_2O_2-type$ tetradentate ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-S-${\alpha}$-isobutylacetic acid (SS-emiba) and $RhCl_3{\cdot}3H_2O$ has yielded ${\Delta}-s-cis-\;and\;{\wedge}-uns-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl_2]-$. ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl_2]^-$ has been utilized to react with S-methyl-L-cystcine(Smc) to give ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba(Smc)]^+$. The oxidation of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba(Smc)]^+$ using $H_2O_2$ has produced ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Smc-o)]^+$, in which the coordinated sulfur has been converted into the sulfoxide group. In a separate series of experiments the S-methyl-L-cysteine is oxidized by $H_2O_2$ to give S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide, which is then coordinated to ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl2]^-$ to make the standard complet of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Sme-o)]+$ for comparison with the complex obtained from the oxidation of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Smc)]^+\;by\;H_2O_2.$

The physical and chemical properties of ${\gamma}-conglycinin$ of soybean (Glycine max) were investigated. The soybean protein extracted from soybean meal using 0.2M NaCl solution at pH 4.5 was passed through a Sephadex G-150 column to isolate 7S globulin. ${\gamma}$-Conglycinin was isolated and purified from the 7S globulin with a DEAE Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. The protein preparation was pure on immunoelectrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel isoelectric fouling. It had an isoelectric point at pH 5.4 and contained 16.12% nitrogen, 4.18% mannose and 1.21% glucosamine. Amino acid composition, in general, shaved that ${\gamma}-conglycinin$ contained higher contents of lysine, dicarboxylic acids and ammonia nitrogen, and lower contents of sulfur-containing amino acids and tryptophan. The subunits of ${\gamma}-conglycinin$ were distributed in the range of pH 4.6-5.5. The subunits located in the pH region of 4.6-5.0 and 5.0-5.5 were glycopeptides (molecular weight of 38,000) and simple peptide (MW of 32,000), respectively.

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of taurine (Tau) supplements on broiler growth performance, serum constituents and antibody production. In Exp. 1, 3 day old chicks received a basal diet supplemented with Tau at 0, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30 or 0.40% for 6 weeks. Although dietary Tau supplementing at 0.30 or 0.40% enhanced feed conversion and reduced feed consumption during 0 to 3 weeks (p<0.05), neither serum total cholesterol or anti-Newcastle disease virus (NDV) titer were affected. In Exp. 2, dietary Tau supplement at 0.25-0.75% enhanced feed conversion of broilers during 0 to 3 weeks, but daily gain and feed consumption were not affected. The 0.75% Tau supplement group displayed lower serum total cholesterol at 6 weeks (p<0.05) comparing with the control group but no difference in anti-NDV titers. In Exp. 3, broilers were treated with dietary Tau of 0 or 0.50% combined with low (0/0%), medium (0.18/0.08%), or high (0.36/0.16%) methionine (Met) levels for 6 weeks (0 to 3/3 to 6 weeks). The addition of Met significantly improved daily gain and feed conversion of broilers during 0 to 3 weeks (p<0.01). Dietary Tau interacted significantly with Met on daily gain and feed consumption. Broiler serum amino acids revealed that Met supplements only increased serum Met level, but only serum Tau level was enhanced as given dietary Tau supplementation. The broilers receiving Tau normalized serum triglycerides level by feeding with the low Met diet and tended to display higher anti-NDV titers (p<0.10). The experimental results suggest that the growth response obtained by Tau supplements results partly from interactions with sulfur amino acids. However, the modulation of the broiler lipid metabolism may be responsible for dietary Tau.

This study investigated the food and nutritional characteristics of alkaline-insoluble fractions (AIFs) recovered from bastard halibut Paralichthys olivaceus (BH) and skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis (ST) roes using the alkaline solubilization. The moisture content of AIFs ranged from 4.8% to 12.8%, and ST provided significantly better yields (9.5 for STAIF-11 and 7.1 g/100 g roe for STAIF-12) than did BH (P<0.05). The protein content of AIFs ranged from 71.7% to 79.2%, with the highest level yielded by STAIF-11 (6.8 g/100 g roe). The crude fat content of AIFs was 10.9-14.3% and the mineral content was 0.7-3.4%. The major mineral components of AIFs were sulfur, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Color values showed that BHAIFs were significantly brighter than STAIFs. Total contents of essential amino acids were significantly higher in STAIFs (47.5-49.5%) than in BHAIFs. The major essential amino acids found in AIFs from both sources were Val, Leu, Lys, and Arg. Therefore, AIFs were significantly superior to whole BH roe in terms of physicochemical and nutritional status, and we identified species-specific differences between BH and ST. Protein is a major component of AIFs recovered from fish roes, which suggests that they have potential for use as a protein source.

Garlic has been consumed for a long time as a food in Korea. Among commercial garlic products, aged black garlic is known to contain bioactive ingredients. Giant garlic is large garlic with a mild and sweet flavor. However, there have been few studies on the bioactive effects of giant garlic. This study analyzed valid substances of giant black garlic (GBG), giant fresh garlic (GFG), normal black garlic (NBG), and normal fresh garlic (NFG). Moisture content of GBG decreased in comparison with that of GFG. Ash, crude protein, crude lipid, total pyruvate, S-allylcysteine, and S-allylmercaptocysteine contents were the highest in GBG. The pH values of GBG, GFG, NBG, and NFG were 3.77, 5.97, 3.94, and 6.10, respectively. Acidity of GBG was higher than that of GFG. Total sugar content of GBG increased while reducing sugar content was the same as that of GFG. Composition of amino acids except for histidine, lysine, and arginine in GBG was higher than that of GFG, and free amino acids excluding arginine, cysteine, lysine, phosphoethanolamine, and urea were higher than those of GFG. In minerals, Cu, Fe, and Mg contents were higher than those of GFG.
