The present investigation was carried out to determine the qualitative difference between 4 varieties of perilla leaves cultivated Miryang area, particularly focusing on the amino acid composition and flavor compounds. Aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, arginine, and threonine were the major amino acids, and tyrosine and cysteine and methionine containing sulfur were detected as little amount in protein of all perilla leaves. All perilla leaves contained about 34 kinds of free amino acids, and the major free amino acids were same as the protein bound amino acids. However, no significant difference among 4 varieties of perilla leaves was observed in the profiles of protein bound and free amino acids composition. Flavor compounds analyzed by GC-MSD following to extraction of flavor by SDE (Simultaneous Steam Distillation-Extraction) were detected as 51 kinds from 'Leafy perilla 1', 47 kinds from 'Yupsil perilla', 46 kinds from 'Miryang 9' and 'YCPL. The major volatile compound was perilla ketone, its concentration was $145.75\;{\mu}g/g$ in 'Miryang 9', $187.00\;{\mu}g/g$ in 'YCPL', $301.59\;{\mu}g/g$ in 'Leafy perilla l' and $551.42\;{\mu}g/g$ in 'Yupsil perilla', but the other flavor compounds, 3-hexen-l-ol, trans-2-hexenal, $\beta-caryophyllene,\;\alpha-farnesene$ and etc, were less than $20\;{\mu}g/g$.

In this study, we analyzed the nutrient composition and ${\beta}$-glucan content in Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies from different collection areas. Four types of free sugars were detected by HPLC, and the range of trehalose prevalence was 0.83% to 9%. The highest total amino acid content was observed from sawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, collected in China (JMI10050)The highest essential amino acid content, assessed by log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, collected in Jangheung (JMI10059). Sixteen free amino acids were detected in Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, and the major free amino acids were histidine, glutamic acid, and arginine. The highest essential amino acid including threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, histidine, and lysine was fromsawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in China(JMI10052). The ${\beta}$-glucan content from log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in Korea (JMI10059 and JMI10066) was higher than that from sawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in China. The highest ${\beta}$-glucan content was observed from log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in Korea (JMI10066).

The objective of the present work was to determine the corresponding uptake and assimilation of ${NO_3}^-$ in roots and shoots of leafy radish by applying of mixed amino acids (MAA). The amino acids used in this experiment were alanine (Ala), ${\beta}-alanine\;({\beta}-Ala)$, aspartic acid (Asp), asparagines (Asn), glutamic acid (Glu), glutamine (Gln), and glycine (Gly). Leafy radish was grown by conventional fertilization with macro- and micronutrients under controlled conditions. The 15-day-old seedlings were treated 0, 0.3 and 3.0 mM of MAA containing 5 mM ${NO_3}^-$ in growth medium. Nitrate uptake was determined by following ${NO_3}^-$ depletion from the uptake solution. The activity of the enzymes related to the process of ${NO_3}^-$ reduction (NR: nitrate reductase; NiR: nitrite reductase; GS: glutamine synthetase) and the content of ${NO_2}^-\;and\;{ND_3}^-$ were analyzed in shoots and roots. The results of this study showed that ${NO_3}^-$ uptake was inhibited 38% with treatment of 0.3 mM of MAA. However, there was more than three times increase of N03- uptake in 3.0 mM MAA. In addition, the enzymatic activities were positively affected by the high MAA rate. Finally, the ${NO_3}^-$ content was increased slightly both in shoots and roots of leafy radish by MAA treatments.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of domestic as well as imported fermented skate. Three types of fermented skate products were analyzed for proximate composition, pH, VBN, ammonia-N, free amino acids, and fatty acids. The results indicated that the domestic fermented skate contained large amounts of TMAO. Also, the domestic and imported fermented skates each contained approximately 7.1 log CFU/g and $5.8{\sim}6.5$ log CFU/g of aerobic bacteria, respectively, and 585.9 mg and $384.1{\sim}398.5$ mg of total free amino acids, respectively; all samples contained high levels of taurine, anserine, lysine, alanine, glycine, proline, and ${\beta}-alanine$. For fatty acid composition, the domestic fermented skate contained 11 different types of saturated fatty acid and 16 types of unsaturated fatty acid, whereas the imported skate contained 8 types of saturated fatty acid and $10{\sim}15$ types of unsaturated fatty acid. Overall, the results suggest that domestic fermented skate is a better source of amino acids and essential fatty acids and contains more aerobic bacteria than imported fermented skate.
