Weanling female Sprague Dawley rats were fed diets containing 22mg pyridoxine HCI/kg diet(control diet) and 1.2mg pyridoxine HCI/kg diet(deficient diet). One deficient group and one control group were fed their diets throughout the period of growth, gestation and lactation. After the pups were born and weaned, the deficient group was divided into two groups. Therefore, one(DC) switched to control diet and the other continued the same deficient diet until 10 week-old. Analysis of chemical composition of fatty acid in the total brain lipid was conducted in the pups of 5, 10, 15, 21, 35, 50 days of age. Arachidonic acid content was significantly decreased in the deficient group at 5 days compared to the control, but at almost all ages, there were no significant differences in fatty acid contens among all the groups. The fatty acid compositions of the brain phospholipids were determined on pups at 1, 14, 21, 35, 70 days of age. The content of $C_{20}\;_{4}$ in the brain phosphatidylcholine birth and contents of $C_{22}\;_{4}$ and $C_{22}\;_{5}$ at birtd, and $C_{22}\;_{5}$ and $C_{22}\;_{6}$ at 14 days in the phosphatidylethanolamine were depressed in the deficient group. These changes were not consistent with ages. Therefore, it may reflect that the major part of the changes occuring in the pyridoxine depleted rats depends, not so much on the pyridoxine depletion itself, as on the age or development of the rats.

The oxidative stability of cholesterol in tallow heated at different frying temperatures (130$\^{C}$, 150$\^{C}$, and 180$\^{C}$) was studied by identifying cholesterol oxides by thin layer chromatography(TLC). And fatty acid compositions in tallow heated were also measured and compared with cholesterol oxides. Unsaturated fatty acid contents slightly decreased as the heating time increased, whereas saturated fatty acid contents increased This phenomenon became excessive especially by heating to higher temperature. It was found that RF value and spot color of the nonsaponifiable lipids from tallow heated on TLC analysis accorded with the synthetic cholesterol oxides in this experiment. Four kinds of cholesterol oxides were detected in tallow heated for 24 hours at three different temperatures. The oxides were identified as 7-$\alpha$-hydroxycholesterol, 7-$\beta$-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol and cholesterol epoxide. It was found that there was a little difference in oxidative pattern of cholesterol between several heating temperatures.

The most abundant long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid in brain lipids is docosahexaenoic acid(C22 : 6 N-3, DHA). It is incorporated into nerve tissues mostly in utero and during the first year of life. DHA in brain is derived from either pre-formed DHA in human milk or by infant hepatic synthesis from linolenic acid in milk. This study was designed to investigate the effects of DHA supplementation on fatty acid profiles in maternal plasma lipid and breast milk. Twenty lactating women participated in the study. Seven women took 3g of fish oil per day and vitamin E for 28 days starting from the day of giving birth. Five women consumed 1.5g of fish oil as well as tivamin E, and the rest took vitamin E supplements for the same period of time. Dietary questionnaires and 3 consecutive 24-h recalls were collected to evaluate theri nutritional status and food habits. Finding that DHA intake from fish was not significantly different among three experimental groups, the partcipants were instructed to continue eating their usual home diets. Milk samples were taken on the day of giving birth, as well as the 7th, 14th and 28th day being the supplement phase, and finally 2 weeks after the cessating of DHA supplements. The amounts of the fish oil supplements produced significant dose-dependent increased in the DHA content of milk and plasma, but to a lesser degree. Base-line for 28 days raised the level to 2.05$\pm$0.43% and 1.5g/day supplement produced DHA levels of 1.02$\pm$0.19%. The results of this study indicated that relatively small amount of dietary DHA supplementation significantly elevats DHA content in milk. This would clearly elevate the infant's DHA intake which in turn may have implications for the infant's brain development.

Linoleic acid(LA) was examined to evaluate its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent for MG-63 human osteosarcoma and AZ-521 gastric cancer cells. The treatment of LA(0.005% for 6 days) to the MG-63 and AZ-521 cancer cells inhibited growth of the cancer cells by 54% and 52%, respectively as compared to that of the controls. It also exhibited that LA with 0.01% concentration decreased the [$^3$H] thymidine incorporation by more than 90% in the both cancer cells. In additions we observed morphological changes in MG-63 and AZ-521 cells under inverted microscope, and the changes in membrane fatty acid compositions of the cancer cells when LA was added at the level of 0.005%. The treatment with LA revealed that the contents of 16:0 and 18:0 decreased significantly, but fatty acids that C numbers are more than 20 and unsaturated(20:4, 22:6, and 24:4) increased, concomitantly the morphological changes of the cells were observed.

To produce ${\gamma}$-linolenic acid (GLA) by cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, we optimized medium compositions including carbon sources, nitrogen sources and growth regulators. MS basal medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D was effective for callus induction from mesophyll tissue. Addition of sucrose at 88mM concentration induced active proliferation of suspension cells and increased GLA content. Increased supplement of potassium nitrate as nitrogen source resulted in proliferous cell growth and increased total fatty acid content Abscisic acid increased cell growth and fatty acid content in callus culture, whereas as it had an inhibitory effect in suspension cell culture.

This study was conducted to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork belly from 3 different two-way crossbreeds of Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace (YL), Yorkshire${\times}$Berkshire (YB), and Yorkshire${\times}$Chester White (YC), which were domesticated for Korean consumers. Twenty pigs from each crossbreed (total n=60) were randomly selected when they reached the 110-120 kg range of market weight, slaughtered, and cooled at $0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The pork bellies on the left side of the cooled carcasses were then sampled and analyzed. The pH of pork bellies was the lowest in YC among the crossbreds. There was no significant difference in fat content by crossbred, but YB bellies had the lowest moisture content (p<0.05). The cooking loss of YB bellies was lower than those of others (p<0.05). The TBARS values in YB was significantly higher than those of the others at 14 d. YL bellies had a higher percentage of stearic acid, oleic acid, and MUFA than the other breeds, while YB and YC had a higher percentage of myristic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and n-6 fatty acids than the YB (p<0.05). PUFA content and P/S were significantly higher in YC compared with YL. Except for arginine, the concentrations of most free amino acids were higher in YB bellies than in others, (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation scores of bellies were higher for YC than for other breeds (p<0.05).

The composition of fatty acids and sterols from Sapindus Mukurossi oil were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography and amino acids from Sapindus Mukurossi seed oil cake were determined by amino acid autoanalyzer. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Oil content (45.7%) was higher in Sapindus Mukurossi seed than in other plant seeds such as soybean, sesame and peanut. 2. From the analysis of fatty acids, it was found that oleic acid(61.6%) and gadoleic acid(20.4%) were major fatty acid and that high monoenoic acid content(82%) could be a characteristic of sample seed oil. 3. Glutamic acid contained the most amounts among all amino acids determined, and isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine and valine were relative high amounts compared with content of other amino acids. 4. The sterol compositions of 4-desmethyl sterol, 4-monomethyl sterol and 4,4-dimethyl sterol fraction were found to be similar to those of higher plant oil, but 4-monomethyl sterol fraction was characterized by containing the unknown sterol (31.5%) with RRT 1.27.

Traditional doenjang with Lentinus edodes added at a concentration of 0, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w) was prepared and its physicochemical characteristics were analyzed during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content, salt level and pH for doenjang were decreased with increasing addition of Lentinus edodes powder, but crude protein content was increased. Among the free sugars, glucose, galactose, arabinose, sucrose and maltose were identified and quantified, with the first two being the major free sugar. Minerals were detected in the order of Na> K> P> Ca> Mg> Fe while the content of Cu, Mn and Zn exhibited little change. The contents of each amino acid of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes, glutamic, leucine and aspartic acids, had a much higher level. In fatty acid compositions, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids were analyzed, with oleic acid being the most abundant fatty acid at $56.4{\pm}0.8\sim57.5{\pm}0.5%$ in all the tested samples. GMP and IMP contents of nucleotides and their related compounds were extremely high. It was thought that these substances contributed to the sweet taste of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes. These results showed the applicability and high quality of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes.
