Two feeding trials were carried out to investigate apparent nutrient digestibility of flounder fed experimental diets containing different levels of macro-nutrients by satiation feeding rate (Exp-1) and feeding frequency (Exp-2). Triplicate groups of fish averaging 280 g were fed three experimental diets which contained different levels of carbohydrate, protein and lipid by two feeding regimes (satiation and 80% satiation) and four feeding frequencies (three meals a day, two meals a day, one meal a day and one meal every two days). Feces were collected using a fecal collection column attached to fish rearing tanks for 6 weeks. Apparent digestibilities of dry matter, protein, lipid, energy and carbohydrate were not affected by feeding satiation rate in Exp-1. Apparent protein digestibility was not affected by feeding frequency, whereas affected by dietary composition in Exp-2. Apparent protein digestibility of fish fed a high-protein diet showed a tendency to become higher compared to that of fish fed high-carbohydrate diet and high-lipid diet at the same feeding frequency. Apparent lipid digestibility was not affected by dietary composition, however, affected by feeding frequency. Apparent digestibilities of energy and carbohydrate were affected by both dietary composition and feeding frequency. Apparent digestibities of energy and carbohydrate in fish fed the high-protein diet showed a tendency to become higher compared to that of fish fed the high-carbohydrate diet and high-lipid diet at the same feeding frequency. Apparent digestibities of energy and carbohydrate tended to decrease with increasing of feeding frequency at the same dietary composition.

This study investigated the proximate composition in the muscle and viscera of five commercially valuable Korean Veneridae, Protothaca jedoensis, Ruditapes philippinarum, Saxidomus purprratus, Cyclina sinensis and Meretrix lusoria. The proximate analysis revealed that the moisture, crude protein and carbohydrate of muscle in higher than viscera. As results, except for the crude lipid and carbohydrate there was little significant differences among the moisture, protein and crude ash. The crude lipid contents was highest in the viscera of Meretrix lusoria, while lowest in the muscle of Ruditapes philippinarum. The carbohydrate content of viscera in the Meretrix lusoria, Ruditapes philippinarum and Protothaca jedoensis were $3.61{\pm}0.45%$, $3.45{\pm}1.4%$ and $3.39{\pm}0.07%$, respectively.

Although each part of Trichosanthes kirilowii is frequently used as medicinal herbs, study on the chemical composition is not sufficient. It was found that sarcocarp consists of 70% of carbohydrate, 13% of crude protein, 5% of crude fat, 6% of crude fiber and 6% of crude ash; seed consists of 62.59% of carbohydrate, 12.75% of crude protein, 14.80% of crude fat, 6.50% of crude fiber and 3.36% of crude ash; and root consists of 89.40% of carbohydrate, 4.10% of crude protein, 0.50% of crude fat, 3.50% of crude fiber and 2.50% of crude ash. Sarcocarp and seed contain fifteen kinds of amino acids such as Asp, Ser, Glu, Gly, His, Arg, Thr, Ala, Pro, Try, Cys, Met, Val, Leu, and Phe. Sarcocarp contain large quantities of phenylalanine and glycine and seed does not contain leucine but lysine. The mineral contents in Trichoxanthes kirilowii are 0.55% Ca, 0.91% Mg, 10.29% Na, and 0.17% K.

Seasonal changes in biochemical composition of Crassostrea giggas and Scapharca broughtonii in the Kosong bay and Kangjin bay, southern Korea were studied over 12 months in relation to their habitat. In Crassostrea giggas, protein was high during summer in all experimental station, but lipid and carbohydrate were high during winter, and no clear difference was between experimental station. Glycogen content was sharply decreased during summer, and energy content was low but carbohydrate was high during summer. In Scapharca broughtonii, protein was low, but carbohydrate was high during summer. Lipid was high from February to March, glycogen content was low from June to September. Energy content was low during winter and no clear difference biochemical composition was between experimental station of Scapharca broughtonii.

The nutritional value of commercial instant noodles produced in summer and winter seasons were investigated. Only the noodle itself was used for the analysis. The content of carbohydrate was calculated by difference. The calorie was estimated by using a conversion factor of 4.32 for protein, 9.21 for fat and 4.20 for carbohydrate. Bag-type instant noodles had higher moisture, but lower content of fat and calorie compared with bowl-type products. No seasonal variations on composition and calorie were found. The calorie was negatively correlated with moisture or carbohydrate content, and positively correlated with fat content. The calorie estimated from linear regression equation of calorie vs. moisture was similar to the value calculated using a conversion factor, which implies that the calorie of the instant noodle can be simply estimated from the moisture content. The intakes of calorie from fat accounted for 30.8% and 34.1% from bag-type and bowl-type noodles, respectively. The content of ash and fat, and calorie were significantly decreased upon cooking, which were more pronounced in the bowl-type products. At the same moisture contents the loss of calorie for bag-type products was 3.5% and for bowl-type ones was 7.7%.

To establish a culture system with enhanced cellular nutrition, we investigated the effects of light quality (blue, 450 nm; yellow, 590 nm; and red, 630 nm) of a light-emitting diode (LED) on the biochemical composition of Tetraselmis suecica and T. tetrathele. The protein content of both species was higher (42-69%) than the content of other biochemical substances under all wavelengths. Carbohydrate, protein, and lipid contents were higher under the yellow wavelength, which showed a low growth rate, than those under other wavelengths. The contents of all biochemical substances were low under the red wavelength, which showed a high growth rate. These results indicated that protein synthesis occurs in response to decreased cell division rate, while lipid and carbohydrate synthesis occurs owing to altered chemical composition and enzymatic activity. Therefore, we suggested a two-phase LED culture system, which emitted red LED during the early-middle exponential phase and yellow LED during the late exponential and stationary phases, to increase the yield of useful biochemical substances of T. suecica and T. tetrathele.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Pasteurella multocida (P multocida) and several Gram-negative bacterial pathogens were analyzed by methanolysis, trifluoroacetylation and gas chromatography (GC) on a fused-silica capillary column. The GC analysis indicated that LPS prepared from a strain of P multocida by phenol-water (PW) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extraction were quite different in chemical composition. However, LPS prepared from Salmonella enteritidis by the two extraction methods were very similar. PW-LPS extracts from different Pasteurella strains of a serotype had essentially identical GC patterns. Endotoxic LPS extracted from 16 different serotypes of P multocida by PW or by phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether procedures yielded chromatograms indicating similar composition of the fatty acid moieties but minor differences in carbohydrate content. When the chemical composition of endotoxic LPS extracted from several Gram-negative bacteria (P multocida, Pasteurella hacmolytica, Haemophilus somnus, Actinobacillus ligniersii, Brucella abortus, Treponema hyodysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Bacteriodes fragilis, Salmonella abortus equi and Salmonella enteritidis) were examined, each bacteria showed a unique GC pattern. The carbohydrate constituents in LPS of various Gram-negative bacteria were quite variable not only in the O-specific polysaccharides but also in the core polysaccharides. The LPS of closely related bacteria shared more fatty acid constituents with each other than with unrelated bacteria.

The proximate composition, quality characteristics, antioxidant activity, and sensory evaluation scores of yakgwa added with mealworm powder (MP) were examined. MP contained 5.83 wt% moisture, 55.70 wt% crude protein, 35.96 wt% crude fat, 3.70 wt% crude ash, and 2.43 wt% carbohydrate and feature total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of 406.52 mg GAE/100 g and 21.18 mg NE/100 g, respectively. The DPPH and ABTS^•+ radical scavenging activities and the reducing power of MP were determined as 90.25%, 44.06%, and 1.74, respectively. Except for moisture and carbohydrate content, the proximate composition of mealworm yakgwa (MY) increased with the amount of MP increased. The pH of the dough increased with the addition of MP, whereas the expansion degree tended to decrease. Sugar content was highest at MP contents of 0 wt% and 12 wt% (FM4 group), and hardness was lowest in the FM4 group. With the increasing MP content, the L, b values and antioxidant activity increased, whereas a value decreased. The sensory evaluation scores for the overall preference, appearance, color, and taste were lowest in the FM4 group. These results suggested that MP contents of 6-9 wt% were optimal for mealworm-based yakgwa.
