This study was conducted to provide basic date on the proximate composition and amino acid, fatty acid, sugar, and mineral contents of commercial dried lavers cultivated in Korea (in Seocheon, Wando, Goheung and Busan). The moisture, crude ash, crude fat, crude protein, and carbohydrate content ranges of the dried lavers were 5.67~7.43%, 8.01~8.95%, 1.54~2.25%, 37.77~39.98%, and 43.83~46.24%, respectively. The total amino acid, free amino acid, and essential amino acid concentrations were highest (25,982.15 mg/100 g, 4,545.44 mg/100 g, and 9,048.28 mg/100 g) in the dried lavers cultivated from Wando. The compositions of the fatty acids in four dried lavers were 16.30~22.15% saturated fatty acids, 6.04~7.73% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 70.33~76.03% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sugar contents per 100 g of dried lavers were 3,678.84~4,052.52 mg of galactose, 2,112.30~2,473.86 mg of fructose, 1,103.74~1,648.39 mg of mannose, 361.67~590.21 mg of glucose, 8.63~10.38 mg of ribose, and 21.43~48.32 mg of xylose. The mineral concentrations in the dried lavers cultivated from Wando and Busan were low (Cu < Mn < Zn < Fe < Ca < Mg < Na < K), as were those in the dried lavers cultivated from Seocheon and Goheung (Cu < Mn < Zn < Fe < Mg < Ca < Na < K).

In order to investigate the variation of nutritive value, fertilizer value, productivity and growth performance by the number of cutting times in Lespedeza bicolor, Lespedeza maximowiczii and Lespedeza japonica var. intermedia, the plots of one, two and four cutting times in a year had been made through 1972 to 1973. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Lespedeza bicolor, Lespedeza maximowiczii and Lespedeza japonicavar. var. intermedia showed increase of growth and productivity in two plots excluding the plots of four time cuttings. 2. Significant differences at 1% level were shown among the species and the number of cutting times in total grass yield. Lespedeza bicolor showed the greatest production, and followed by Lespedeza maximowiczii and Lespedeza japonica var. intermedia. The plots of one cutting time a year produced more dry weight than that of two and four cutting times. The production in plots of fourth cutting showed less growth and yield. 3. The ratios of dry weight to fresh weight and of leaf weight to stem weight were decreased when the number of cutting times increased in Lespedeza bicolor, Lespedeza maximowiczii and Lespedeza japonica var. intermedia. 4. Crude protein was decreased, though crude fiber content was increased when the grasses were growing more and more. Conent of crude fat showed great variation by the number of cutting times and cutting period seoson. 5. Early cut tings of Lespedeza showed higer fertizer value than late cuttings in all the species. 6. It is suggested that two and three time cutting through a year in Lespedeza bicolor and Lespedeza japonica var. intermedia having high nutritive and fertilizer value is good when using the Lespedeza species as a fodder or manuers, and one time cutting a year will be good when using the Lespedeza species as a fuel.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mugwort powder on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Maejakgwa. Maejakgwa were prepared with mugwort powder at levels 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% ($60{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 14 days). The lightness, redness, and yellowness values of Maejakgwa significantly reduced depending on mugwort powder. The hardness of Maejakgwa was decreased with the increase of storage period and increased with the increase of mugwort powder. In the sensory evaluations, the Maejakgwa prepared with 3% added mugwort powder received higher acceptance scores for the properties of color, taste, hardness, crispiness, adhesiveness and overall acceptability. As the mugwort powder content increased, acid value and peroxide value were decreased. With the increase of storage period, acid value and peroxide value of all sample increased but growth rate of these values decreased with the addition of the mugwort powder. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was improved significantly via the addition of mugwort powder and decreased as storage period increased. During storage period, Maejakgwa with mugwort powder showed a stronger antimicrobial effect in yeasts and molds than in total aerobic bacteria. Coliform bacteria were not detected in all samples. Also the antimicrobial activity was increased with the addition of the mugwort powder and decreased as storage period increased. The results show that addition of the mugwort powder to foods with fat such as Maejakgwa would be a useful way to enhance the antioxidant quality, sensory characteristics and shelf life.

The nitrogenous compounds in the muscle extracts of cultured and wild olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceous, were analyzed. The analyzed coumpounds were extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, oligopeptides, ATP and its related ompounds, quaternary ammonium bases, and guanidino compounds. The distribution pattern of these compounds in cultured and wild fish was found to be very similar. Although the ATP and its related compounds and creatine in the muscle of cultured fish were slightly abundant than those in the muscle of wild one, the extractive nitrogen, total free amino acid, oligopeptides, and TMAO were found to be slightly rich in the muscle of wild fish than those in the muscle of cultrued one. The moisture content of cultured fish was relatively lower but the protein and fat contents of cultured one were higher than those of wild fish. However the differences in the proximate composition, extractive nitrogen and nitrogenous compounds between two fishes were not significantly different.

To develop the health/functional food materials, we investigated the cultural condition of mycelial growth on the solid state fermentation using the brown rise, Acanthopanax sp. and Artemisia sp., and also evaluated inhibitory activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) of hot water extracts from cultured media of Pleurotus eryngii. As the amount of Acanthopanax nnd Artemisia In the cultural media increased, the mycelial growth rate decreased. Especially, addition of Aeantopanax showed marked effect than Artemisia. Moisture contents in three kinds of cultured media were in the range of $10.9{\sim}12.0%$. Crude protein fat and crude fiber content were the highest value in cultured brown rice medium, whereas the mineral contents (Ca, K and P) were higher in the Acanthopanax supplemented (5%) medium than the other media, The extraction yield of the Artemisia supplemented (5%) medium was the highest value of 4.80%, and the pH of hot water extract from cultured brown rice medium showed the lowest value of 6.1. Lightness (L) values in three kinds of extracts from cultured media were in the range of $85.8{\sim}87.1$. Redness (a) value was the highest In the brown rice and Acanthopanax supplemented media, however cultured Artemisia supplemented medium showed the highest value in yellowness (b). In comparison of sugar components analyzed by the thin layer chromatography with three kinds of samples, two spots were detected to be glucose and maltose, respectively. The ACE inhibitory activity of hot water extract from the cultured Acanthopanax supplemented medium showed the highest value at the concentration of $0.2{\sim}1.0\;mg/ml$. These results suggest that the Pleurotus eryngii grew in natural media using brown rice and Acanthopanax can be supplemented to the brown rice medium to enhance its ACE inhibitory activity as health/functional food materials.

To investigate the preservability of Tongil, three types(rough, brown and milled rice) of Tongil and the common variety (being composed of typical varieties) in Korea were stored at a ambient and a low temperature $(15^{\circ}C)$ warehouse from April to October of each year for three years (1972-1974). The results obtained are described as follows; 1) Temperatures of atmosphere and the natural temperature warehouse changed in the same way. 2) Similar changes of relative humidity were observed in atmosphere and both warehouses. 3) Equilibrium moisture content of Tongil at $25^{\circ}C$ was 0.55 % lower in rough and brown rice. 0.33% lower in milled rice than each type of the common variety. 4) Weight loss rate in the natural temperature storage and in the low temperature storage was 1.35% and 0.74% after 6 month storage. 5) The change of fat acidity in browe rice was greater than any others (rough and milled rice). 6) Hardness of Tongil was 1.64kg higher than that of the common variety. 7) Germination rate was about the same during the low temperature storage, but that of brown of the natural temperature storage was abruptly decreased to $23%{\sim}37%$ after August. As a result, it is possible Tongil is applicable to the long-term storage of rice due to Tongil's superior preservability.
