Asia hosts more than half of the world's 1 billion goats and is also where domestication of wild goats began. Goats, including dairy goats, are adapted to a wide variety of harsh environments and thus play key roles as providers of nutrition, food security and socio-economic status to their human owners in many low-income Asian countries. In many countries in Southeast and East Asia, medium and large scale commercial dairy goat farming can be profitable enterprises because of the high price of goat milk, and good demand due to its health and medicinal properties. In some Asian countries, dairy goats play important roles in non-commercial activities, including use as educational animals in elementary schools in Japan and show animals in Indonesia. Dairy goat farmers in Asia are faced with numerous challenges, such as a shortage of high producing animals adapted to the local environment, lack of quality feeds during a prolonged dry season, many diseases and difficulty getting their product to market, however, the increasing demand for goat milk in the newly developed and developed economies in Asia provides an optimistic future for dairy goat production in this region.

This study was carried out to find the attributes for liquid-type yogurt with Lactobacillus casei 911LC during 72 h fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased up to 32 h and plauteaued thereafter, and the titratable acidity increased up to 40 h. The growth of lactic acid bacteria sharply increased with $3.5{\times}10^7$ cfu/ml up to 40 h of fermentation and slowly decreased thereafter. The free amino acids produced during fermentation reached the maximum value at 44 h and gradually decreased thereafter. Bitterness sensory scores were the highest at 44 h of fermentation. In the result of electrophoresis, the band mostly disappeared at 72 h fermentation. The present data showed that the range of optimum fermentation time for liquid-type yogurt using Lactobacillus casei 911LC was from 40 to 44 h.

The effect of guanethidine on feeding behavior was investigated in the chicken. Graded levels of chronically administered guanethidine, an adrenergic neurone blocker, at 0, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight, decreased body weight gain and food intake in a dose dependent manner. The effect of acute guanethidine administration on crop emptying rate of the chicken was also investigated. The highest level (10 mg i.v./kg body weight) of guanethidine significantly delayed crop emptying compared with the control. These results suggest that the sympathetic nervous system in the chicken is an important factor for the regulation of feeding behavior associated with food passage from the crop.

Effects of microencapsulated chitooligosaccharide addition in milk were evaluated by determination of the efficiency of microencapsulation, cholesterol removal, color, viscosity and sensory properties. Coating material was polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS) and the efficiency of microencapsulation was 88.08% at a 10:1 ratio of coating to core materials (w/w). When 0.5% of microencapsulated chitooligosaccharide was added into milk, the color values (L, a, and b) and viscosity were significantly different from those of noncapsulated chitooligosaccharide-added groups (p<0.05). The release of chitooligosaccharide from microcapsules was 7.6% in milk at $4^{\circ}C$ for 15-day storage. In both 0.5 and 1.5% microencapsulation addition, the scores of all sensory characteristics except for off-flavor were significantly different between encapsulated chitooligosaccharide and noncapsulated chitooligosaccharide-added groups during all periods of storage. The present study indicated that chitooligosaccharide microcapsules could be applicable into commercial milk with little adverse effects on physical and sensory properties.

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the possibility of substituting Amaranthus pigments for nitrates in the of manufacture pork sausage. Five treatments of pork sausages (5% fat) with two levels of sodium nitrite (0 and 0.015%), or three levels (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%) of pigments extracted from red Amaranthus were produced. The addition of Amaranthus pigments resulted in the significant increase of $a^*$ values, sensory color, flavor and overall acceptance scores, but the significant reduction of $b^*$ values, TBA values and VBN values (p<0.05). Based mainly on the results of overall acceptance during 29 d storage, it could be concluded that Amaranthus pigments showed a potential as nitrite alternative for pork sausage manufacture.

The purpose of this study was to identify the condition and perception of food management pattern in Yuanbean area. An investigation based on Previous research was administered to 200 housewives by questionnaire method in 1993 and 1995. Data were descriptively analyzed and chi-square value was calculated to compare group differences. Findings indicated that snack preference, food budget planning. menu planning. focusing factors for preparing and purchasing food materials, and family member considering for preparing meal were varied by socio-demographic factors. such as age, education. occupation. family income. religion. family type and size, years of marriage, hometown, kitchen structure, and types of fuels. Similarities and differences between groups were discussed and implications for nutrition were suggested.

A total of 455 food samples representing 22 different food types were collected from several localities at Alexandria province in Egypt. Aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin M1 were detected in 5 out of 455 (1.1%) of these food samples. From the same samples 206 fungal isolates were obtained. Thirty two of these isolates (15.5%) were found to be aflatoxin producers. Aspergillus flavus was the dominant isolate, while Aspergillus parasaticus was also isolated from a few other food samples. Among locally consumed foodstuffs. Peanut (7.5%) and Milk powder (6.6%) were found to be a suitable substrates for aflatoxin production. The hygienic and public health significance of the isolated aflatoxigenic strains were discussed.

This study examined growth and sensory characteristics of soybean sprout cultured at $25\pm1^{\circ}C$ for 4 days with distilled water(control) and green tea extract(0.03 and $0.05\%$). Initial germination rate was higher when soaking in green-tea extract than in the control. The proper concentration of green-tea extract was $0.03\%$. The growth of soybean sprout in $0.05\%$ green-tea extract was better than the control for the hypocotyl thickness and mot hair. Soybean sprout grown with green-tea extract were better than that with control inappearance, flavor, texture and over-all acceptabilitty.
