This study was carried out to compare the change of free amino acid content in the radish Kimchi added with anchovy pickle sauce with that added with 15% NaCl solution during 30 days fermentation. RESULTS : 1. During the fermentation, the pH of both sample A and B showed the highest values of 7.3 and 7.1, respectively, and then both decreased continually to the lowest value of 4.2 at the 30th day. 2.The salinity in the juice of sample A was higher than that of sample B in all the steps during fermentation, accompanied with a slight decrease of the salinity in both cases with time elapsed. 3. The free amino-type nitrogen content of sample A was nearly duplicated in the final step than in the initial one,while that of sample B showed no significant changes in all the processing period. 4. The free amino acids detected in the both samples were aspartic acid, threonine, serine, proline, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, tyrosine, cysteine, valine, methinonine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, $\gamma-aminobutyrix acid(\ulcorner), ornithine, lysine, histidine and arginine. 5. The amounts of proline, arginine were the highest in all free amino acids during fermentation, and tasty components of radish Kimchi seemed to relate to glutamic acid, alanine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, more deliciousness of Kimchi A and B seemed to derive from amino acids of anchovy pickle sauce added to Kimci A, such as alanine, valine, phenylalanine, lysine.

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in fatty acid composition and sensory characteristics of cheonggukjang containing walnuts at 0, 10, 20, or 30%. Amino nitrogen content was decreased with increasing content of walnuts. However, cheonggukjang containing 30% of walnuts met the standard of food sanitation act. Volatile basic nitrogen contents of cheonggukjang containing walnuts was lower than that of cheonggukjang containing no walnut. There was no significant difference in total amino acid content for cheonggukjang containing 0%, 10%, or 20% of walnuts. However, total amino acid content in cheonggukjang containing 30% of walnuts was significantly lower than that in cheonggukjang containing 0%, 10%, or 20% of walnuts. The content of essential amino acid in cheonggukjang containing 30% of walnuts was also significantly lower than that in cheonggukjang containing 0%, 10%, or 20% of walnuts. Saturated fatty acid content was decreased significantly from 16.7% to 3.6% when the content of was increased from 0% to 30%. Total unsaturated fatty acid contents was increased with increasing amounts of walnut added to cheonggukjang. Result of sensory evaluation revealed that the taste and overall quality of cheonggukjang made with 10~20% walnuts were significantly higher compared to those of ordinary cheonggukjang. These results suggest that cheonggukjang made with 10~20% walnuts could be developed as a novel fermented food.

Gulbi were processed by salting Yellow corvenia (Pseudosciaena manchurica) with in three ways: the dry salting method with bar salt, the dry salting method with purified salt or with the abdominal brine injection method with purified salt. The half of the sample was dried by the control system of temperature and humidity; the other part was dried by the natural condition. The moisture content of fresh Yellow corvenia muscle and eggs were 76.8%, and 68.2% while those of dried samples decreased to 57.7% and 45.3%, respectively. The total nitrogen content of fresh muscle and eggs were 11.0g% and 7.6g%, respectively (dry weight basis), which decreased slightly during salting and showed no significant changes during drying prosess. The protein nitrogen content of fresh muscle and eggs were 10.2g% and 7.5g%, which decreased during Gulbi processing. On the other hand, the nonprotein nitrogen content of both muscle and eggs increased. The content of free amino acids of fresh muscle and eggs were 508.8mg/100g and 1,110.6mg/100g, which increased to between 5.3 and 2.7 times, respectively after 25 days of drying. The composition patterns of free amino acids in muscle and eggs were similar to each other. The four amino acids - Ala, Glu, Lys and Leu - were most abundant in both fresh and dried samples. These amino acids are known as taste and flavour constituents.

A pot experiment was carried out using Seomjin-byeo and Samgang-byeo to investigate the effects of nitrogen and sulfur on the growth, yields, and sulfur containing amino acid content of rice. The yields and number of tillers at 50 days after transplanting were increased with the increase of the amounts of nitrogen and sulfur, but N/S ratio was decreased in both varieties. There were a positive correlations between yield and contents of nitrogen and sulfur in straw and brown rice, but a negative correlation between N/S ratio and yields at harvesting stage. Crude protein contents increased with the increase of amounts of nitrogen and sulfur. contents of amino acid containing sulfur in brown rice were positively correlated with the sulfur and nitrogen contents in rice straw.

This experiment was carried out on plastic pots ($40cm{\times}25cm{\times}30cm$) filled with sand soil at greenhouse using two soybean cultivars with small seed; one was Pungsannamulkong (PSNK) recognized as a tolerant cultivar against excessive water stress and the other one was Sobaeknamulkong (SBNK) recognized as a susceptible cultivar. Seed was sown with 30 plants of 2 hills, and the amount of applied fertilizer was N; 3.0 g, P; 3.0 g, and K; 3.4 g per $m^2$ with all basal fertilizations. Plants were grown under photoperiod of natural light with day temperature of $31{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and night temperature of $22{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The flooding treatment was done for 3, 5, 7 and 10 days by filling pots with tap water up to 1 cm above the level of the soil surface when plants were 2 days after emerging. Nitrogen uptake by leaves of soybeans decreased significantly by the flooding after 6 days. This significant reduction of N uptake by flooding was evidently recognized from the chlorosis of leaves. The dry matter of flooded soybean seedlings significantly decreased compared to non-flooded soybean seedlings at 10 days. The dry matter of roots also showed similar result of the shoot. Shoots had more N reduction than roots under the flooding. This N reduction was more pronounce in SBNK than in PSNK. Chlorophyll content of flooded soybeans showed decreasing or non-increasing tendency, and the reduction of chlorophyll content was more in SBNK than in PSNK from the flooding stress. Nitrate content of soybean seedlings with flooding stress showed decreasing tendency in shoot and root parts. Ammonium content, however, was higher in flooding stress compared to the non-flooding. Flooding caused a remarkable change in the AA (amino acid) composition and TAA (total amino acid) concentration in the leaves of soybean seedlings.

This study was conducted to screen for superior strains for preparation of Cheonggukjang and identify the optimal fermentation time based on fermentation of lentils by various Bacillus subtilis strains. Bacillus count was significantly high at 48 hrs of fermentation (9.22-9.51 log CFU/g). In addition, the pH was significantly high in the range of 7.60-7.92 at 48 hrs fermentation, and the reducing sugar content was significantly high (0.89-1.45). The amino-type nitrogen content and ammonia-type nitrogen content were significantly increased with fermentation time. Additionally, the amylase activity was significantly high (3.05-4.22) at 48 hrs of fermentation, as was the protease activity (4.80-5.63). Bacillus subtilis S3 (5.63), S4 (5.60) were higher than S1 (4.80), S2 (4.92). The viscous substances and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased at 48 hrs, then decreased. Sensory evaluation revealed that lentil Cheonggukjang fermented by S3 showed the highest scores in color, smell, savory taste, sweet taste, viscous substance and overall acceptability. Therefore, 48 hrs of fermentation should be suitable for lentil Cheonggukjang fermented by Bacillus subtilis S3.
