  • Free amino acid and mineral analysis of beverages with Gugija (Lycii fructus) extracts performed to determine the antioxidative and anti-diabetes activities of the beverages. The four major free amino acids in the water- or ethanol-extracts of the Gugija beverages were asparagine (115.23, 51.95 mg%), methionine (20.02, 22.07 mg%), aspartic acid (19.65, 13.72 mg%) and taurine (18.64, 22.44 mg%). The mineral contents of the Gugija beverages with water- and ethanol-extracts were in the order K>Mg>Na>Ca>Zn>Fe. Antioxidant activity determined by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. There was no significant difference in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities between the water-extract beverages and the ethanol-extract beverages, although more phenolics and flavonoids were found in the ethanol-extract beverage. Higher anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in the ethanol-extract beverage compared to acabose, which was used as the control and is an inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, suggesting that the Gugija beverage with ethanol extract could be a potential hypoglycemic agent.

  • A 16-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the amount of fish meal analogue (FMA) that can be replacing white fish meal (WFM) protein in Korean rockfish. Five experimental diets were formulated on isonitrogenous and isocaloric basis of $50\%$ crude protein and 15.6 KJ/g diet. The graded level of replacement of PM by Em on the basis of crude protein were as follows : Diet 1($100\%$ WFM), Diet 2($87.5\%$ WFM : $12.5\%$ FMA), Diet 3 ($75\%$ WFM : $25\%$ FMA), Diet 4($75\%$ WFM : $25\%$ FMA+2 EAAs), Diet 5 ($50\%$ WFM : $50\%$ FMA+2 EAAs). Methionine and Iysine were selected for 2 essential amino acids (EAA) to study the effect of adding EAA to the diets 4 and 5. Weight gain (WG), feed fed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of fish fed diet 3, 4 and 5 were significantly lower (P< 0.05) than those of fish fed the control ($100\%$ WFM),while that of fish fed diet 2 was not significantly different diet(P>0.05) from those of fish fed the control diet. WG, FE and PER of fish fed diet 4 were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of fish fed diet 3, but lower than those of fish fed the control diet. Therefore, these results indicated that FMA protein could substitute WFM protein up to $12.5\%$ without 2 EAAs supplementation in Korean rockfish. And, dietary supplementation of 2 EAAs could be benetficial when FMA is utilized as a fish meal replacer in juvenile Korean rockfish.

  • Physicochemical properties of flowering cherry (Prunus yedoensis, Prunus sargentii, Prunus lannesiana, Prunus cerasus) fruits were evaluated. The moisture contents were the highest in fruits of Prunus cerasus; crude protein ranged from $0.19{\sim}1.49%$ and crude fat ranged from $1.00{\sim}2.66%$. The fruits of Prunus lannesiana included higher contents of crude ash compared with those of other cultivars. The mineral contents of Prunus lannesiana fruits were the highest in Ca, K, Mg, Fe, and Mn. The amino acid contents of only methionine was the highest in fruits of Prunus sargentii (1.64 mg/L). Other amino acids were the highest in fruits of Prunus cerasus. The Brix value was the highest in fruits of Prunus yedoensis, followed by fruits of Prunus sargentii, Prunus lannesiana, and Prunus cerasus. Organic acid contents ranged from $3.42{\sim}4.18%$. Anthocyanin contents were the highest in fruits of Prunus sargentii in methanol extract. Therefore oriental cherry commensurates with development of nature pigment and functional foods. Especially, Prunus cerasus was greater than other cultivars.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of hot melt extrusion (HME) nano-iron as an alternative for the common ferrous sulfate on iron (Fe) bioavailability, growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and intestinal microbiota of weanling pigs. A total of 200 piglets (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc) were randomly allotted to seven treatments on the basis of initial body weight (BW) and sex. Treatments were the INO100 (100 ppm Fe as $FeSO_4$), HME-Fe levels (50, 75, and 100 ppm nano-Fe as $FeSO_4$). ORG100 (100 ppm Fe as iron methionine). In phase 1, the HME50 pigs showed the lowest Fe content in feed and feces. Plasma Fe concentration was increased in HME100 and ORG100 pigs. In phase 2, there were significantly lower concentration of Fe in feed and feces of HME50 pigs (p < 0.01). A lower Fe concentration in the plasma and liver were observed in HME50 pigs compared with HME100 pigs. Concentration of red blood cell (RBC) was the lowest (p < 0.01) for HME50 pigs. During phase 2, the HME100, HME75, and ORG100 pigs showed a higher RBC and hemoglobin values compared with HME50 pigs. Digestibility of gross energy (GE) and crude protein (CP) were significantly higher in HME100 pigs compared with HME50 pigs. There was an increased (p < 0.01) villus height in the duodenum and jejunum of HME100 pigs compared with HME50 pigs. It is concluded that dietary Fe does not improve growth performance of weanling pigs; however, increasing the dietary iron concentration in weanling piglets increased the RBC and hemoglobin. In addition, the potential ability of HME to be used at a lower level (HME75) was observed.

  • The seasonal variations of chemical composition of jujuba leaf were studied by analyzing general composition, amino acid composition, fatty acid composition, mineral, phenol, condensed tannin, flavonoid contents. Fresh jujuba leaf contained 4.42~6.31% protein and 4.31~5.71% fat on wet basis. Jujuba leaf was rich in aspartic acid, glutamic acid and leucine, but methionine was a limiting amino acid. Four kinds of free sugar, i.e. glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose were found in jujuba leaf. The contents of fructose and glucose increased during growth, while the contents of disaccharides, sucrose and maltose, decreased. The main fatty acids of the leaf were palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. Jujuba leaf was rich in K, Na and Ca, however, the amounts of Fe, Mn and Cu were low. The contents of Ca and Na increased during growth but the content of Mg decreased. The content of total phenolic compound was 0.83~0.89% and the content of condensed tannin was 0.40~0.45%. Two major flavonoids such as rutin and isoquercitrin were detected and their contents were 103.8~125.2mg/kg and 26.2~40.0mg/kg, respectively.

  • Methanol extract and solvent fractions of Aster scaber Thunb. were tested to elucidate antioxidative characteristics in vitro. Methanol extract showed strong inhibition on linoleic acid autoxidation and conjugated diene production. Hexane and diethyl ether fractions showed stronger chelating effect on $10^{-4}M\;FeCl_3$ than the other fractions. Butanol fraction had the strongest capacity on $10^{-3}M\;CuSO_4$ similar to ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Synergistic effect of butanol fraction with histidine, methionine, and lysine on linoleic acid autoxidation had been observed. Contents of total phenol, vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoid were evaluated. From the results, Aster scaber Thunb. could be expected to play a role as an antioxidant in vivo.

  • The purpose of this study was to choose prinicipal food components contained in diet foods and food additives used for manufacturing processed foods and elucidate their in vivo effects on the growth pattern of Helicobacter pylori. To do this the antibacterial effects of various sources of carbon nitrogen and mineral as an effect agent on Helicobacter pylori were first assessed based upon bacterial growth degree. results show that the source of carbon tested had different effects on bacterial growth of Helicobacter pylori. It was revealed that a promotional effect of monosaccharides resulted in enhanced growth of Helicobacter pylori compared with disaccharides and polysacchrides, in particular glucose was observed to be most effective in growth of Helicobacter pylori among monosaccharides teste whereas mannose to hinder the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Polyols such as sorbitol mannitol maltitol and xylitol was however observed to show no promotion or suppression effect on growth of Helicobacter pylori. Apart from these the sources of amino acid and inorganic nitrogen were chosen and tested to assess the promotion or suppression effect of nitrogen sources on growth of helicobacter pylori. It was found that amino acid such as lysine showed its promotion effect on the growth of Helicobacter pylori while arginine (NH4)2SO4 and NH4Cl showed no effect on its growth. Ammoia and urea were however observed to have a positive effect on the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Among these effect agents lysine and methionine were revealed to show the most positive effect on growth of Helicobacter pylori. Minerals such as MgSO4 KH2PO4 and MgCl2 appered to exert their positive growth effects whereas CaCl2 and CaSo4 had a little effect. In addition FeSO4 FeCl2 and FeCl3 brought suppression on the growth of helicobacter pylori. In studies of the growth of Helicobacter pylori by food additives ascorbic acid showed extreme suppression on its growth,. Sodium nitrate and sodium chloride were also found to be of negative effect on the growth of Helicobacter pylori in rder of degree whereas tocopherol had nothing to do with microbial growth.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition in different portions of domestic broiler meat. The broilers were obtained from slaughtering house, where the scale of slaughtering was more than 50,000 heads per day. The carcasses were separated by cutting into 7 portions such as wing, drumstick, drummette, breast, skin, thigh, and tenderloin. Moisture contents of drummette and thigh were 73.37% and 73.19%, whereas those of drumstick and wing were 75.65% and 75.76%, respectively. The portions of breast parts contained 4.20% higher protein, but 4.17% lower fat than those of leg parts. Overall mineral contents were relatively high for thigh when compared with breast. The content of Fe was higher by 1.8 folds(7.3ppm) in thigh than that in tenderloin(4.0ppm) and the content of Zn was higher in drummette than that in tenderloin. For amino acid compositions, the tenderloin contained more glutamic acid and methionine than the other portion meats. The portions of drumstick(3.97mg/g) and thigh (3.24mg/g) were higher in collagen contents than the other Parts. Wing portion had the lowest collagen content of 2.64mg/g, which was due to the removal of its skin.
