  • Swim up fry of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, were fed 0 or 60 mg l7-methyltestos­terone (MT) per kg feed for 30 days. Fish that had been fed 0 or 60 ppm MT for the first 30 days were subsequently fed a commercial diet for 56 weeks to evaluate growth, survival, sex ratio, body composition, gonadosomatic index and the total edible portion. Mean body weight of MT treated group and untreated group were 1.7 g and 1.1 g, respectively at the end of the treatment for 30 days $(P<0.05)$. The experiment was terminated after a total of 60 weeks, the mean body weight of the MT treated population was 1,016 g and that of the untreated population was 762g $(P<0.05)$. However, the final mean body weight of untreated males (l, 086g) was not significantly different from treated males (l,016 g), but the mean body weight of the female group was 512 g. Therefore, the reason for the lower mean body weight of the untreated group was entirely due to stunted females. The percentage fillet yield of MT treated fish$(34.6\%)$ was not significantly different from that of the untreated males $(34.4\%)$, but the untreated females were lower than those of both treated and untreated male groups $(32.4\%)$ (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the percentage of the all edible portion (AP) between MT treated and untreated males, but females were lower than males. Females are smaller fish in size and the gonads are larger in proportion which were discarded along with the intestine this explains the observed difference. Total biomass of the two groups were 134.8kg and 104.5kg per $m^3$, respectively. The proportion of fish reaching a marketable size of over 800 g in body weight within 14 months were $78\%$ in the MT treated group and $41\%$ in the untreated group.

  • Macrolepiota procera, one of edible mushrooms belongs to Agaricaceae of Basidiomycota, has a good taste and good medicinal value. As a preliminary study for the development of artificial cultivation method of edible mushroom, cultural characteristics of M. procera was investigated on various culture media under different environmental conditions. Mycelial growth was compared on culture media composed of various carbon and nitrogen sources, and C/N ratios. The optimal conditions for the mycelial growth were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7. M. procera showed the rapid mycelial growth in the PDA media. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were maltose and glycine, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was about 10 : 1 in case that 1% glucose was supplemented to the basal media as carbon source.

  • Antibacterial activities of edible plant extracts were investigated to develop natural antimicrobial agents protecting horticultural products from spoiling-microorganisms during their storage. Crude extracts of Artemisa capillaris Allium tuberosum Ailanthus altissima Zanthoxylum pieperitum Pinus densiflora Morus alba lxeris dentata and Allium sativum showed remarkable antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli K 12 and Bacillus subtilis KCTC 1028 After solvent extraction of the crude extracts with n-hexane ethyl acetate chloroform and water in sequence each fractions was re-examined for the antbacterial activities. As results the ethyl acetate fractions of A. capillaris Aaltissima, P. densiflora and I. dentata and all fractions of Z. piperitum and A. sativium showed relatively strong antibacterial activities against E. coli and B. subtilis and the ethyl acetate fraction of A. altissima was the strongest(6mm and 7mm respectively) against two strawberry-spoiling bacteria isolated and identified at our laboratory as Staphylococcus sp. TG-101 and Staphylococcus sp. TG-102.

  • The $\beta$-galactosidase was purified from the internal organs of edible snail by fractionation with ammonium sulfate, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, Mono Q HR 5/5 and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. Superose 12 HR 10/30 chromatography. The specific activity of the purified $\beta$-galactosidase was 18.8 units/mg protein with 31.3 purification fold from crude extract. The $\beta$-galactosidase had native molecular weight of 144,000 dalton and was composed of two subunits of 72,000 dalton. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined 4.1. This enzyme was the most active at pH 3.0 and 6$0^{\circ}C$, and was stable in the pH range 2.0~8.0 and below 5$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was inhibited by metal ions and sugars such as fructose, glucose, galactose, maltose and xylose.

  • The objective of this study was to identify and quantify glucosinolates (GSLs) in Brassica napus cv. Hanakkori and its parents and to evaluate its potential bitter taste. 'Hanakkori' materials were cultivated with commercial chemical nutrients (20 kg/ha, N-P-K: 16-10-10) at the field. GSLs were isolated by means of extraction with 70%(v/v) boiling methanol (MeOH) followed by desulfation from those plants by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by electronic spray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis. In 'Hanakkori', 11 GSLs were identified as progoitrin, glucoraphanin, glucoalyssin, gluconapoleiferin, gluconapin, 1-methylpropyl, glucobrassicanapin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, gluconasturtiin, and neoglucobrassicin. The total GSL contents were 109 and 36.1 mmol/kg dry weights (d.w.) for the seeds and edible parts, respectively. The major GSLs (>5 mmol/kg d.w.) in the seeds were progoitrin (78.8), gluconapin (10.7), and glucobrassicanapin (7.81), whereas they in the edible parts were progoitrin (16.1) and glucobrassicanapin (8.58). In addition, the bitter taste in the edible parts was presumably related with the presence of progoitrin (>45% to the total GSL).

  • Foodborne diseases occur frequently and have various being related to the intake of contaminated foods. Seafood products are susceptible to contamination due to higher water content and microorganisms, which combine to give them a short shelf-life. Various approaches have been applied to overcome this problem. Edible coatings that are also biodegradable and biocompatible have been discussed as one of the applicable solutions. These coatings can actually help to maintain seafood quality by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and delaying the loss of moisture. This paper presents the effects of various natural bio-polymers, antimicrobial substances and physical sterilization techniques such as gamma irradiation, ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, and light-emitting diode (LED) sterilization on seafood coatings.

  • This study was designed to observe the body growth and components of edible mugwort(Artemisia sp.) and medicinal mugwort(Kanghwa medicinal mugwort) . Twenty-four young rats of Sprague Dawley strain, body weight of about 89g were used in this study. They were fed on the basal diet(control diet) supplemented with 5% edible mugwort powder ( EM diet) and 5% medicinal mugwort powder( MM diet) for 4 weeks respectively. In proximate composition of nutrients of mugwort in dry basis(100g). crude protein (16.4g) and crude ash(11.8g) contents of EM were higher to about 2% than that of MM, but crude lipid content(4.3g) of EM was lower to about 2% than that of MM. However, the contents in calcium(6.9g) of MM was higher to 5.3 times than that of EM. but in Mn(17mg), Zn(0.5mg), Fe(131mg), Mg(337mg) of EM were higher to 2.8∼2.3 times and vitamin A(39,776 IU) of EM was higher to 2.9 times than that of MM respectively. Body wight gain rate and diet efficiency ratio of EM and MM diet group were similar to that of the control group. The contents of total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen. creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, glucose, amylase, transaminase (GOT, GPT) in serum exhibited no remarkable difference among of the EM and MM diet group but the level of LDH activity of MM diet group were significantly lower than that of the control group and EM diet group.
