To elucidate the composition of extractive nitrogenous components in the fresh Capsosiphons fulvescens cultured off the southern coast of Korea, and to determine the monthly variation of these nitrogenous components, extract samples collected monthly from December to March at Jangheung-gun, Jeonnam Province were analyzed for total nitrogen, free and combined amino acids, ATP and related compounds, betaines, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) and trimethylamine (TMA). The content of extractive nitrogen was 1,090~1,233 mg/100 g on dry basis. The number of 21~25 ninhydrin-positive substances was detected in the analysis of free amino acids, and their total amount was 3,710~4,788 mg/100 g on dry basis. Among them, free proline, asparagine, glutamic acid, alanine, taurine and glutamine were found to be abundant. The combined amino acids amounted to 1,573~2,121 mg/100 g in total and the total amount of ATP and related compound was 33.8~84.0 mg/100 g ($1.06{\sim}2.46\;{\mu}mol/g$) on dry basis. Betaine, glycinebetaine, $\beta$-alaninebetaine, $\gamma$-butyrobetaine, homarine and trigonelline were detected in most of samples. Levels of free and combined amino acids, ATP and related compounds fluctuated from sample to sample, with their contents higher in December and January and lower in March.

In order to investigate the composition and monthly variation of extractive nitrogenous components in the laver Porphyra dentata cultured at the south coast of Korea, the fresh laver was analyzed separately for the amounts of free amino acids, combined amino acids, ATP and its related compounds, and quaternary ammonium basis in fresh laver were measured. The extractive nitrogen contents of fresh laver extracts were 760~870 mg/100g (dry basis). Twenty-seven to thirty-one kinds of free amino acids were detected in the laver extracts and their total amounts were 2,404~3,966 mg/100g (on dry basis). The laver extracts showed rich in free amino acids such as alanine, taurine, glutamic acid, glutamine and aspartic acid. Sixteen to twenty-three kinds of combined amino acids were detected in the extracts and their total amounts were 1,429~2,692 mg/100g (on dry basis). Proline, glutamic acid, glycine, phosphoserine, serine were the amin combined amino acids in the extracts. The amounts of ATP and related compounds were 73.3~94.4 mg/100 g (2.04~4.43 $\mu$mol/g, on dry basis). Homarine and trigonelline were detected in all specimens but $\beta$-alaninebetaine, ${\gamma}$-butyrobetaine were found in some. Small amounts of trimethylamine were detected in all samples. Free and combined amino acids were occupying almost 90% of extractive nitrogen. Most of free and combined amino acids showed a marked monthly variation with a maximum in January and March, and a minimum in February and April. The fresh laver P. dentata did not differ much from the fresh laver P. yezoensis in qualitative com-position of extractive components, but their contents were generally low level.

The endoxylanase (642 bp; 213 amino acids) and ${\beta}-xylosidase$ (1,602 bp; 533 amino acids) genes from Bacillus sp. were amplified by PCR and separately inserted downstream of the yeast ADH1 promoters, resulting in the pAEDX-1 and pAEX plasmid. When the yeast transformants, S. cerevisiae SEY2102 harboring pAEDX-1 or pAEX, were grown on YPD medium, the total activities of the enzymes reached about 9.8 unit/mL for endoxylanase and 2.9 unit/mL for ${\beta}-xylosidase$. When the three kinds of xylan from oat spelts, birch wood, and corncob were hydrolyzed by treatment of recombinant endoxylanase and ${\beta}-xylosidase$, it was found that xylose, xylobiose and xylotriose were produced and xylose was the major product after 12 h reaction. In addition, with the higher amount of enzymes, the more amount of xylose was produced.

This study was carried out to find a cholesterol removal rate, flavor development, and bitter amino acid productions in Cheddar cheese treated with -cyclodextrin (${\beta}-CD$): 1) Control (no homogenization, no ${\beta}--CD$), and 2) Milk treatment (1000 psi milk homogenization, 1% ${\beta}-CD$). The cholesterol removal of the cheese were 79.3%. The production of short-chain free fatty acids (FFA) increased with a ripening time in both control and milk treated cheese. The releasing quantity of short-chain FFA was higher din milk treated cheese than control at 5 and 7 mo ripening. Not much difference was found in neutral volatile compounds production between samples. In bitter-tasted amino acids, milk treatment group produced much higher than control. In sensory analysis, texture score of control Cheddar cheese significantly increased, however, that in cholesterol-reduced cheese decreased dramatically with ripening time.

Reaction conditions in the amino-carbonyl reaction, and the effect of amino acids on the reactivity of amino-carbonyl reaction were investigated. Results obtained are as follows : 1. When the pH of the reaction mixture was increased above the isoelectric point of an amino acid, a significant increase in the color intensity was observed. 2. The color intensity increased gradually up to 1 : 1 of the molar ratio of reactants. This result was interpreted to show that sugar and free amino group combined in 1 : 1 ratio. 3. Amino-carbonyl reaction showed a significant time and temperature-dependences. The activation energy at 0.2 M glucose and 0.2 M glycine system was 37.5 Kcal/mole. 4. Among amino acids tested, glycine, lysine and $\beta$-alanine caused a significant increase in the color intensity, but acidic amino acids showed the least color intensity. The latter was interpreted to show that one of carboxyl groups of acidic amino acid has an inhibiting effect on the reactivity of the amino group. 5. The color intensity of sugars tested was in the order of xylose>arabibose>fructose>glucose>maltose>lactose.
