Phytase of rat intestine had a large amount of oilgosacchanrides ; The enzyme consisted of two different subunits with the molecular weights of 90 KDa and 70 KDa in its intack form, whereas the apparent molecular weights tumed to 72 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, after deglycosylation. The treatment with glycopeptidase F reduced the molecular weights from 90 KDa and 70 KDa to 83 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, While endoglycosidase H caused no change in their molecular weights. These results indicate that the 70KDa subunit contains only the N-linked oilgosaccharide chains, while the 90KDa subunit ocntains O-linked oilgosaccharides as well as N-linked ones. Enzyme-linked lectin assays suggeted that bisecting N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and galactose 1-4 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine structures were present and that fucose was included in these oilgosaccharide moieties. Sialic acid was not found in either subunit.

In this study, rice flour sponge cakes were prepared by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide were used as the oligosaccharides. The effects of oligosaccharides on the physical, textural and sensory properties of the cakes were then examined. The oligosaccharides increased batter viscosity and decreased batter specific gravity and baking loss. The moisture content, specific loaf volume and loaf volume index of the cake increased by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Internal and exterior color determinations showed that the 'L' value of the sponge cake with oligosaccharides was lower than that of the control, indicating a darker crust and crumb with the oligosaccharide substitution. Decreases in textual hardness, chewiness, and brittleness occurred with the oligosaccharides. Sensory panels perceived that the oilgosaccharide darkened the crust of the rice flour sponge cake and the panelists rated the cakes with the oilgosaccharide substitutions as sweeter, softer and more moist. The rice flour sponge cakes with isomaltooligosaccharides had a significantly higher acceptability then the others.

Carrageenan oligosaccharides prepared from -carrageenan by carrageenase from Pseudomonas alcaligenes. The oligosaccharides showed three spots on TLC and the degree of Polymerization of the C1, C2 and C3 spot were each 9.0$\pm$1.0, 6.0$\pm$1.5 and 2.5$\pm$1.5, respectively. Each hydrolysates and spots-C1, C2, C3-were tested the several functionalities such as antimicrobial activity, anticavity activity and anticoagulant activity. The antimicrobial and anticavity activity of carrageenan hydrolysates and oligosaccharide fractions were very low, but the anticoagulant activity was identified in all samples.

Our works performed for preparation of oligosaccharides from carrageenan, seaweed polysaccharide, and one active strain for carrageenan was isolated from sea water and identified to Pseudomonas alcaligenes. Carrageenan degrading enzyme was purified from the culture fluid of isolated strain-Pseudomonas alcaligenes JCL-43, by DEAE-Cellulose, Sephadex G-100, Q-Sepharose and CM Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. Two enzyme-F-I, F-II- was identified this purifying process, and the molecular weight of the purified carrageenase were estimated to be 23.6kDa and 30.2kDa, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for two carrageenase activity were 7.0 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. These enzymes were stable in the pH range of 6.0~7.5 and lower than 5$0^{\circ}C$, and required 1.5% NaCl for optimum activity. And these carragennase were inhibited by metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, but increased by Ba2+ and Ca2+, and showed specificity on -carrageenan.

Lectins have great potential as to determine the alternation of the distribution of cell surface carbohydrates during cellular development and differentiation. Here, we investigated the presence and distribution of cell surface carbohydrates on chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) during the migration and gonadal stages using a variety of lectins. A total of six FITC-labelled lectins from several specificity classes were used: ConA (glucose/mannose), WGA (N-acetylglucosamine), STA (N-acetylglucosamine), DBA (N-acetylgalactosamine/galactose), UEA-I (fucose) and PHA-E (oilgosaccharide). As a results, PGC-specific binding was observed in STA. PGCs of migration stage (2.5- and 5.5-day embyos) were STA-positive whereas PGCs of 10-day embryonic gonad were not. The results suggest that N-acetylglucosamine residuse are present specifically in migrating chicken PGCs and changes during development.

Fructo-oligosaccharide and isomalto-oligosaccharide were used to replace 10%, 20%, or 30% of the sucrose in cake. Replacement with either fructo-oligosaccharide or isomalto-oligosaccharide resulted in cakes with higher volume, browner crust, yellower crumb. Cakes baked with oligoaccharide were softer than 100% sucrose cake. During 9 days storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$, the hardness of both 10% fructooligosaccharide and 10% isomalto-oilgosaccharide cakes was higher than that of 20% and 30% oligosaccharide cake was higher than that of 10% fructo-oligosaccharide cake at the end of storage, there was no difference in hardness among 10%, 20% and 30% isomalto-oligosaccharide cakes. Cakes substituted with isomaltooligosaccharide for sucrose at the level of 20% and 30% or with fructo-oligosaccharide at the level of 30% were significantly moist compared to control. Replacement of sucrose with oligosaccharide, except with fructo-oligosaccharide at the level of 30%, did not affect significantly overall likeness of cakes.

A bacterial strain LC-413, producing extracellular inulin fructotransferase which converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride(DFAIII) and amount of oilgosaccharides, was isolated from soil and pre-sumed as Flavobacteium sp. LC-413. The enzyme production was induced by inulin as carbon source and enhanced by the addition of 0.3% malt extract and 0.2% {TEX}$NaNO_{3}${/TEX} as nitrogen source. The enzyme activity in the culture supernatant reached at the maximum, 78.6units/ml, after 11 hours of cultivation in the medium composition of 1.5% inulin, 0.2% {TEX}$NaNO_{3}${/TEX}, 0.05% {TEX}$K_{2}${/TEX}{TEX}$HPO_{4}${/TEX}, 0.05% {TEX}$MgSO_{4}${/TEX}.7{TEX}$H_{2}${/TEX}O, 0.05% KCI, a trace amount of {TEX}$FeSO_{4}${/TEX}.7{TEX}$H_{2}${/TEX}O, and 0.3% malt ext. at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The oilgosaccharide produced by enzyme reaction from inulin was identified as DFA III by and {TEX}${13}^C${/TEX}-NMR spectrosocpy.

For the comparision of the differences in dry matter weight and the chemical composition of soybean seeds in relation to utilization styles and storage durations, the seed coats and cotyledons including embryo axis separated from the seeds of 3 recommended cultivars stored for 3 years and of 5 recommended cultivars and 2 local varieties with black seed coat and green cotyledons were observed in dry weight, germination percentage, protein, oil, soluble sugar, oilgosaccharide, and starch. In the seeds stored for 3 years, dry weight and germination rate were decreased distinctively. This decrease of seed dry matter resulted from the decrease of the cotyledon weight, and the ratio of seed coat to whole seed was increased. For the change of chemical compositions by the decrement of seed dry weight during the storage, protein, oil, and carbohydrate contents of the seed coat were decreased, and protein content of the cotyledon was markedly decreased in the seeds stored for 3 years. The ratio of seed coat to whole seed was higher in small seed than large seed cultivars. In the local varieties, protein and oil contents were 43.59% and 18.25% in the cotyledons, respectively, which were lower than those of recommended cultivars. But starch and sugar contents were 5.70% and 11.58%, respectively, which were higher than those of recommended cultivars. Sucrose, raffinose and stachyose contents were also higher in the cotyledon of the local varieties.
