A fibrinolytic enzyme has been isolated from the edible honey mushroom, Armillariella mellea and purified. The apparent molecular mass of purified enzyme was estimated to be 19800Da by SDS polyacryl amide gel electrophoresis and 19900Da by gel filtration, indicating that it was a monomer. The enzyme was optimal at pH 7, suggesting that the purified enzyme was a neutral proteinase. It shows the maximum fibrinolytic activity at $55^{\circ}C$, is completely inactivated above $65^{\circ}C$, and still indicates 40% of activity at $37^{\circ}C$. The fibrinolytic activity has been decreased by the addition of EDTA. Fifteen amino acid sequence was determined by protein sequencing techniques.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find correlation between food IgG serum and food classification for Sasangin match. Methods We recruited 10 Soeumin, 10 Soyangin, 10 Taeumin. We did a survey about food intake and obtained their blood samples. We detected IgG antigen reaction of 66 different foods using IgG exclusive Microarray assay. Results We found that IgG value of foods were correlated with Sasangin. Pork, shrimp and black tea has showed significant differences by constitution. The IgG response of the food according to the constitution and frequency of intake was found to be significantly correlated with those of banana, chestnut, citrus, milk, mushroom, cucumber, barley, corn, pineapple, honey and abalone. Conclusions The result of this study was partially matched to food classification for Sasangin.

We have investigated the distribution of major local foods cultivated in Gwangju City and Jeollanam-Do in order to understand the food culture of Honam region. The local foods were divided into 4 classes: agricultural, aquatic, animal and other products. 124 species of local foods, including 51 agricultural products, 50 aquatic products, 6 animal products and 17 others, were identified from this region. In Jeollanam-Do area, the agricultural products have a variety of fruits and vegetables, and aquatic products have fishes. In particular, rice, cucumber, pear, anchovy, oyster, laver, oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and honey were determined as major local foods in Jeollanam-Do area. Note that Mudeungsan watermelon is cultivated in Gwangju, and sweet smelt and cat fish caught only in Sumjin river and Tamjin river area. In recent years, pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne), paprika, kiwi and melon were determined as major local foods in Jeollanam-Do. Furthermore, branding strategy of agricultural and animal products can be said to improve. Wild types of aquatic productions, mushrooms and wild edible greens have been decreasing, whereas cultivated production increasing. The kinds of special local foods in Gwangju City and Jeollanamdo area were influenced by geographical, religious and social factors.

This book is named 'The Ryuk-Jab-Rok' because it was written in the last page of 1820's almanac. This book is written purely in Korean and has not been published yet. This book comprises twenty eight items, among which there are eight items of vegetable preserving method, ten items of Jook preparation methods(a kind of cereal soup), nine items of Pyun-Myun methods(a kind of rice cakes and noodles) and Yak-Bab(a kind of spiced rice). In vegetable preserving method, the eggplant, the cucumber and a songi mushroom were preserved with the drying method., A radish, a sorojangii, and the root of white cabbage were used with the cold temperature preservation. A garlic was dried after salting. The sprouts of DooRub, which were coming in the hot room, were used. In the Jook preparations, there were five animal materials which were lamb, chick, crudian, oyster and abalone. In nine Pyun-Myun methods, Jap-Gua-Sil was illegible because the letters were not clear. Among eight items, the stick rice was used in four cases, the regular rice in two cases. The ground pine nuts, honey and the Chinese date were used most ofter. And the sesame salt and the chestnut were next. The analysis of the terms I this book revealed that 26 items were used for cooking processes. And it also showed us that there were seven kind of cutting procedure and eight kinds of heating procedure. The shapes and size of foods were revealed at only three places in all items. The one-chi(chi ; abut three cm) and three-Ja(Ja ; about thirty cm) which the terms represent the length were revealed twice and once respectively in this book. In the taste description, 'the good', the most common word, was used in seven times, and which was the most frequently introduce case. The measuring unit is hard to revive since the measurements were taken by the container, which were Jong-Ja, Sabal and Tang-gii, then in use. Fifteen kinds of containers and cookers were used for preparing foods. And all of them are now I use.

Armillaria mellea, honey mushroom is well known as a symbiotic fungus with Gastodia elata, The mycelial yields of the fungus were compared when cultured with various broth media. The highest yield of cell mass, 2.31 g dry weight/50mL, was obtained on germinated-malt extract broth (GMEB). The optimal broth concentration which was measured hand refractometer for mycelium production was $15\;Brix^{\circ}$. The optimal conditions estimated with response surface methodology under temperature, pH and incubation period were $25.9^{\circ}C$, pH 5.72, 15.22 days, respectively, on GMEB having $15\;Brix^{\circ}$ concentration for mycelial production of A. mellea.
