Fatty acid fraction rich in ${\omega}-3$ polyunsaturated fatty acids (${\omega}-3$, PUFA), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) could be obtained by saponification of fish oil in ethanol containing alkali hydroxide followed by cooling and filtration of the resultant solution. Fatty acid compositions of fish oil and the concentrates suggest that the ratio of number of double bonds to carbon number in a fatty acid molecule is a more important factor than the degree of unsaturation or the chain length in determining the solubility of fatty acid salts in ethanol. Water content in ethano1 affected significantly the efficiency of the separation with respect to yield and content of EPA and DHA in the concentrates; the lower the water content, the higher the efficiency. It was, however, influenced little by cooling procedure and temperature which the saponified solution experienced during the crystallization. Under an optimal condition, the contents of EPA and DHA in the concentrate increased by 2.4 and 2.5 times, respectively, as compared with those in sardine oil.

Recently, Jersey cattle was introduced and produced by embryo transfer to Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the differences of milk compositions between Jersey and Holstein cows and the relationship between days in milk (DIM) and milk compositions during early lactation. Data were collected from twelve lactating cows from Department of Animal Resources Development at National Institute of Animal Science. Cows in parity 1 were used, and calved at spring from April to March of 2017. All cows were housed in two sections within a free-stall barn, which divided into six from each breed, and received a basal total mixed ration. Milk samples of each cow were collected at 3 DIM and 30 DIM for analyzing the milk compositions, including fatty acids (FA), amino acids and minerals. Total solids, citrate, and milk urea nitrogen level were differed between the breeds (p < 0.05). As DIM went from 3 to 30, milk protein, total solids, and somatic cell count decreased (p < 0.05), but lactose increased in all breed milk (p < 0.05). Citrate and free fatty acid (FFA) elevated in Jersey milk (p < 0.05), whereas reduced in Holstein milk (p < 0.05). Proportions of some individual FA varied from the breeds. Myristic (C14:0), palmitic (C16:0), and arachidonic acid (C20:4) in milk from all cows were higher at 3 DIM than at 30 DIM (p < 0.05). Also, stearic (C18:0) and oleic acid (C18:1) were lower at 3 DIM than at 30 DIM (p < 0.05), and the C18:1 to C18:0 ratio was significantly differed in DIM × breed interactions (p < 0.05). The contents of the individual amino acids did not differ from the breeds. Calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and zinc (Zn) contents was significantly increased in Holstein milk than Jersey milk at 3 DIM. Also, K and Zn concentrations were higher in Holstein milk than in Jersey milk at 30 DIM (p < 0.05). It was concluded that Jersey cows would produce more effective milk in processing dairy products and more proper energy status compared with Holstein cows in early lactation under the same environmental and nutritional conditions.

The aim of this study was to offer information about appropriate processing method for dry cured-ham with controlled ripening condition. In this study, three different treatments were performed: High salt group (HS), 18 hams were salted with 70 g $kg^{-1}$ salt (w/w) Middle salt group (MS), 18 hams were salted with 50 g $kg^{-1}$ salt Low salt group (LS), 18 hams were salted with 30 g $kg^{-1}$ salt. Also three drying periods were applied (180 days, 270 days and 360 days). The weight loss in HS was higher (5.62%) on curing step and in LS was higher (12.35%) on post-salting step compared to other groups. On fermentation stage, weight loss of HS was higher than that of LS (p<0.05). Weight loss on drying was increased as the drying period passes (p<0.05). Moisture contents were significantly (p<0.05) decreased and fat contents were significantly (p<0.05) increased in all treatment groups as drying period increased. The different drying periods affected fatty acid compositions on all salting levels; saturated fatty acid contents were increased (p<0.05) with more drying, whereas unsaturated fatty acid contents were decreased (p<0.05) as drying period increased.

Kong chain $\omega$3 & $\omega$6 fatty acids and taurine have been suggested to have structural and /or functional roles in the brain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the percentage of fatty acids and taurine concentration in human milk obtained from Korean mothers(n=37) as lactation proceeds from birth to 5wks postpartum , and to determine the correlation between taurine concentration and fatty acid composition in breast milk. Level of fatty acids and taurine in breast milk were measured by GLC and HPLC, respectively. The percentages of medium -chain saturated fatty acids(10 : 0, 12 : 0 & 14: 0) were increased significantly , while percentages of long-chain saturated fatty acids(22 :0 & 24 : 0), and most of the long chain $\omega$6 and $\omega$3 fatty acids(20 : 3$\omega$6 , 20 :4$\omega$6, 22 :4$\omega$6 , 22 :5$\omega$6, 22 :5$\omega$3 & 22 : 6$\omega$3) were decreased significantly in mature milk (5 wks postpartum ) as compared to the colostrum. Taurine concentrations in colostrum and mature milk from Korean mothers were 549 $\pm$58 and 233 $\pm$41nmol/ml , respectively. Taurine concentrations in human milk was negatively correlated with the percentages of medium -chain saturated fatty acids ( 10 : 0 &12 : 0), and positively correlated with the percentages of long-chain saturated fatty acids( 16 :0, 20 : 0, 22 : 0& 24 : 0) and long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids( 20 : 1, 22 : 1 & 24 ; 1). Taurine concentration in human milk was positively correlated with elongation indices of both $\omega$6 and $\omega$3 fatty acids, and negatively correlated with the desaturation index of $\omega$6 fatty acids. These close relationships between fatty acids compositions and taurine level in human milk are worth pursing further investigation, especially with regard to their common roles in retina and brain development.

A total of one hundred twenty pigs were used to investigate effects of silage feeding on pork quality among three breeds (Gagoshima Berkshire, American Berkshire, $LY{\times}\;D$). Pigs weighing about 70 kg of body weight were randomly alloted into three breeds [B (Gagoshima Berkshire), D $(LY{\times}\;D)$, A (American Berkshire) by two dietary treatment [C (commercial diet feed) and T (commercial diet with 80% silage)]. All pigs were fed 67 days of period and then slaughtered to examine meat characteristics. A chemical compositions and physico-chemical characteristics were measured in pork loin. The crude protein content was higher in pig fed diets containing silage than that of the control group. $L^*$ of meat color, appearance, meat color, marbling score and overall acceptability in sensory score of fresh meat were higher in the pigs fed silage (T) than those fed commercial diet (C). In fatty acid compositions of loin, stearic acid and oleic acid were lower in T than C, whereas arachidonic acid, EFA (essential fatty acid) and EFA/UFA (unsaturated fatty acid) were higher in T.

The effects of slaughter age (28, 32, or 38 mon) on the proximate composition, collagen content, fatty acid composition, amino acid content, and mineral contents of horse leg bone (femur and tibia) extracts (HLBE) obtained from Jeju crossbred horses (n=14) in Korea. HLBE was extracted for 24 h with boiling water. At those ages, the respective proximate compositions of the HLBE were found as follows: 5.20-6.42% crude protein; fat 0.61-1.65% crude; and 0.10-0.22% crude ash. At 32 and 38 mon, the HLBE showed higher levels of both crude protein and collagen than at 28 mon. The major fatty acids of the horse leg bone extract powder (HLBP) were palmitic acid and oleic acid. Palmitoleic acid and the essential fatty acids were higher in the HLBP at 38 mon compared to that at 28 mon. Nearly all the amino acids were found at higher levels in the HLBP at 38 mon than at 28 mon, except histidine. The P, K, Zn, Se and Fe contents in the HLBP increased significantly with age. These results suggest that some nutrients in the HLBE increase with age, and that extracts from horses older than 32 mon would be more nutritious for human consumers.

Daenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste, was prepared by the fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae for 3 days, and then ripened with salt addition(13%) for 45 days. The changes of composition and fraction pattern of lipid in Daenjang during ripening period were studied. The total lipid of initial Daenjang(0 day ripening) consisted of 91.8% of neutral lipid, 7.1% of phospholipid and 1.1% of glycolipid, and minor changes of the composition were observed during the ripening. The contents of free fatty acid and esterified sterol in nonpolar lipid fraction were increased, however, no significant changes in polar lipid fraction were observed from the Daenjang in ripening. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic acids were the major fatty acyl moiety in the fractions of total lipid, triglyceride and free fatty acid, respectively. No significant changes in fatty acid compositions of the fractions were noted, although the saturated fatty acyl moiety of the fraction were increased a little during Daenjang ripening.

Content of crude protein in both pileus and stalk increased progresively as growth period became longer and then decreased at old stage. Contents of ash and reducing sugars followed the same trend as that of the crude protein. However, content of crude lipid decreased as growth progressed more. Seventeen kinds of amino acid were detected in Lentinula. Content of total amino acid increased as mushroom grew more, but decreased after old stage. The amino acid such as Glu, His, Gly and Ala were contained with relatively large amount in Lentinula. Content of free amino acid showed the similar trends as that of total amino acid. Contents of most of the mineral increased as growth period progressed, but K content decreased as growth period became longer. Contents of K and P were much higher than contents of other mineral. The major fatty acid contained in Lentinula were linoleicacid, palmitic acid and oleic acid. The large amount of volatile component in Lentinula was 1-octen-3-ol, so that this material was speculated to be major source of perfume. Other perfumic materials such ethyl acetate, 3-octanone, ethanol, (E)-2-octenal, 4-octen-3-one, acetaldehyde, ethyl formate were also contained in Lentinula, especially in pilous.

Diversities of lipid compositions according to the morphological differences of the Panax ginseng root were studied by means of column, thin layer, gas-liquid chromate-graphies and histochemical stainings. Purified lipids from various parts were 1.08-2.23% of dry weight, of which 64.2-73.5% were neutral lipids, 15.4-17.4% were glycolipids and 10.4-19.2% were phospholipids. Especially the contents of neutral lipids were highest in cortex, suggesting to be the presence of lipid ducts only in cortex. Triglycerides, sterol esters and hydrocarbons were abundant in the neutral lipid fractions. Twelve components were identified in the periderm and cortex, but unidentified II, IV and V components were not present in the medulla. The major components of glycolipid freactions were sterol glycoside, digalactosyl diglyceride and esterified sterol glucoside. Phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were major components of phospholipid fractions, And phosphatidyl choline was extreamly much in the periderm and medulla, but phosphatidyl glycerol was largest in quantity in the cortex. Eighteen kinds of fatty acids were identified in the neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid fractions. Linoleic, palmitic, oleic and linolnic acids were the main components of fatty acids. The contents of saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids of each three fractions were different one another regardless of the Periderm, cortex and medulla.

Chemical compositions of several herbs (rosemary, mint, thyme, sage, and lavender) cultivated in Korea were analyzed. Approximate compositions were as follows: moisture $69.92{\sim}82.10%$, crude ash $2.48{\sim}6.15%$, crude fat $0.40{\sim}2.46%$, crude protein $0.84{\sim}1.57%$, and crude fiber $2.48{\sim}6.15%$. Total contents of phenolics determined by Folin-Dennis's method were in the range of $73.24{\sim}197.79mg%$. Contents of minerals, Na, Ca, Mn, P, Mg, Zn, and Fe determined by ICP-AES were $43.0{\sim}112.5,\;177.5{\sim}304.0,\;0.5{\sim}1.5,\;74.0{\sim}218.5,\;57.0{\sim}116.0,\;1.0{\sim}2.0$ and $3.0{\sim}5.0mg%$, respectively. Free sugar contents determined by HPLC were: sucrose $0{\sim}7.61$, glucose $0.94{\sim}15.92$, and rhamnose $0.64{\sim}7.99mg%$. Fatty acids including palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids were identified by GC. Linoleic and linolenic acid contents were higher than those of palmitic and stearic acids. Aroma components identified by GC-MS were 1,8-cineole, ${\alpha}-phellandrene,\;{\alpha}-terpinene,\;{\beta}-pinene,\;{\beta}-thujone$, borneol, butan-1-ol, cis-sabinene hydrate, ${\delta}-carene,\;{\gamma}-terpinene$, and verbenone.
