Effects of anaerobic, mechenical wounding and cold treatments on free amino acid and free sugar contents were examined in 7 day-old barley seedlings. In barley shoots under anaerobic condition, drastic changes in free amino acid content were observed. Alanine, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric aicd(GABA) and glutamic acid contents changed most prominantly. Alanine and GABA contents increased rapidly with incubation time up to 10 hr. Glutamic acid content, however, decreased drastically during the first 5 hr of incubation, then increased thereafter. Barley shoots showed similar but smaller changes in amino aicd contents in response to mechanical wounding. GABA content increased in shoots and roots in response to the cold treatment. But increase in GABA content was greater in anaerobic than cold treatment. In anaerobically treated shoots, changes in free sugar content were less prominant than those in amino acid content. Sucrose content changed relatively larger than glucose and fructose contents in excised shoots.

The contents of free amino acids in deembryod brown rice of two varieties were investigated by amino acid autoanalizer in relation to specific gravity grade. The analytical methods of free amino acid were also discussed. 1) The lower the specific gravity of the unhulled rice the higher the content of total free amino acids in the deembryod brown rice, and the similar trend appears to hold on each amino acids. 2) Main free amino acids were serine+asparagine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine and valine, and maximum values of them were 7.3, 5.1, 4.0, 3.4, 0.9mg/100g rice, respectively. They consist about 85% of total free amino acids in most cases. 3) The contents of soluble nitrogen and free amino acids appear to be lower in high protein variety (IR 667) than in low protein variety (Jinhung). The percentage of free amino acid nitrogen to soluble nitrogen, however, appears to be higher in high protein variety (IR 667). 4) Alanine was much lower than aspartic acid in IR 667 having Indica blood while alanine appears to be higher than aspartic acid in Jinhung (Japonica rice) suggesting varietal difference in amino acid metabolism. 5) Threonine peak was overlaped with glutamine, and serine was with asparagine in this study.

At the different growing stages of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench planted at the green house and out doors, the contents of free amino acids in the whole plants,were determined quantitatively by spot-extract colorimetric method (J. Awapara method) using the chromatograms obtained by the ion-exchange resin and paper chromatographic method. And the contents of carbohydrate in the whole plant were determined by Bertrand method. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Almost same kinds of free amino acids were detected in the both plants. 2. Concentrations of most amino acids was increased progressively during growth; further growth was accompanied by decreased concentrations. 3. Rate of growth and increasing of total amino acid content of green house plant is greater than that of out dorrs plant. 4. At the same stages of gwoth, total free amino acid content of green house plant is higher than that of out doors plant but sugar content is lower. 5. There was rapidly increasing of sugar content and decreasing of total free amino acid content except asparagine during mature of seeds.

Dynamic changes of free sugar and amino acid in the mixture of red bean paste sediment by corn syrup concentration and heating conditions were monitored. Glucose and fructose contents of red bean paste increased with an increasing blown color intensity. Amino acid content was affected by the heating temperature, increased with an increase in browning color intensify. Browning color intensity of each samples increased up to $95^{\circ}C$, but decreased above $95^{\circ}C$. This result was the same tend as changes of glucose and amino acid. The result of correlation coefficients among free sugar amino acid and browning color intensity show that increase in browning color intensity was not correlated directly with changes of free sugar and amino acid content. It seems that the contents of free sugar and amino acid resolved from saccharides and protein were much mote than contents nea for browning reaction.

Free amino acid extracts of musculus brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits are analyzed to see the composition and the contents of free amino acids by thin layer chromatography and automatic amino acid analyzer. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits analyzed by thin layer chromatography have 6 kinds of free amino acids such as glycine, histidine, methionine, lysine, alanine and leucine, and the spots of glycine in chromatogram of meats of cattle, swine and goats and the ones of methionine in chromatogram of meats of rabbits are the largest and the most denes of all other ones. 2. Distribution curves of free amino acids in meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits showed significant differences, but differences on distribution curves of free amino acids between musculus-brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of the same tested animal are not significant. 3. Contents of free amino acids in meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits showed significant differences, but differences on contents of free amino acids between musculus brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of the same tested animal are not significant.

Chemical composition, free amino acid and fatty acid composition of wild and cultured cockle clam were studied. 1. The content of crude protein was higher in Anadara suberenata thanthat ini Anadara granosa. The contents of crude protein and ash increased after boiling. 2 Free amino acid composition of Anadara granosa was similar to that of Anadara suberenata. Both glutamic acid and aspartic acid among free amino acid were the most abundant in cockle clam. Next, leucine, arginine and lysine were abundant in order. They all composed of approximately 50%^ of total amino acid content. Whereas the contents of cystine and methionine were poor. 3. In cockle clam the major fatty acids consisted of C16 :0, C18: 0, C18 ;1 and C18:3 in order. The level of C16 :0 was the highest in lipids. The levels of C18 : 0 and C14 :0 were higher in Anadara granosa than those in Anadara suberenata, while the levels of C16 :0, C18 :3 and C16 : 1 were higher in Amadara suberenata than those in Anadara granosa.

Porphyra yezoensis is potentially an excellent source of dietary fiber, amino acids, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) because this red seaweed is available in large quantities and is rich in polysaccharides, proteins, and n-3 fatty acids. This study determined the insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), amino acid, and fatty acid contents of P. yezoensis harvested monthly from November 2011 to March 2012. The total dietary fiber (TDF) and IDF contents ranged from 27.2-34.9% and 18.5-26.9%, respectively, and were greater in March than November. The SDF content ranged from 4.9-8.4% and did not differ significantly during growth. Galactose and 3,6-anhydro galactose were the major sugars in IDF and SDF. The higher levels of galactose and 3,6-anhydro galactose in IDF might be due to associated porphyran-type polysaccharides. Mannose and xylose were also major sugars in IDF. The total amino acid contents decreased gradually from November to March. The total amino acid composition of Porphyra was dominated by alanine, glutamic acid, arginine, and aspartic acid. No significant changes in the fatty acid profile were observed throughout the study period. The dominant fatty acid during all seasons was EPA, which comprised as much as 50% of the total fatty acid content.

Fermented sausages inoculated with starter cultures which were combined Lactobacillus curvatus and Staphylococcus carnosus(LCSC), Lactobacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus carnosus(LPSC) were manufac-tured. changes in chemical composition salinity weight loss fatty acids inosine monophosphate(IMP) and hypoxanthine (Hx) and fee amino acids during ripening of fermented sausages were investigated. Due to drying the water content was decreased while the protein and fat contents salinity and weight low were increased during ripening. No significant differences between LCSC and LPSC were found for chemical composition salinity and weight loss. During ripening unsaturated fatty acid contents was dec-reased while saturated fatty acid contents was increased. At the end of the ripening the levels of mon-oenes were slightly higher in the LPSC than in the LCSC. In both treatments IMP contents were dec-reased but no changes were observed in Hx contents during ripening. Due to ripening the increase in total and individual free amino acids were observed and contents of glutamic acid alanine leucine and lysine were greatly increased.

This study was intended to observe the effect of cooked glutinous rice flour and soused shrimp on the fermentation of Kimchi samples were fermented for 11 days at 10$^{\circ}C$ after they were previously fermented for 6 hours at 20$^{\circ}C$. Changes of pH, total acidity, salt content, reducing sugar content, free amino acid content, total vitamin C content, and ascorbic acid content were measured. The results were as follows; 1. Soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour added in Kimchi acted as lactobacilli growth enhancer during fermentation. 2. Initial cincentrations of redng sugars in Kimch samples with no soused shrimp, 5% and 10% sosed shrimp were 7.5~8.3 mg/g, 3.0~4.7 mg/g and 0.5~0.6 mg/g respectively. Kinchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed higher reducing sugar contents than Kimchi samples without it. 3. Free amino acid contents in Kimchi samples gradually decreased during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. According to their soused shrimp concentration, contents of free amino acid of Kimchi samples were significantly different. And Kimchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed lower free amino acid contents than Kimchi samples without it. 4. Total vitamin C contentrations of Kimchi samples were 24.5~28.0 mg% at the initial stage of fermentation and 15.0~19.2 mg% at the final stage of fermentation. During the fermentation of Kimchi, the higher soused shrimp concentration, the less total vitamin C contents were remained. 5. During the fermentation, ascorbic acid contents of Kimchi samples were not affected by soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour.
