For the investigation of major taste components in loquat(Eiobotrya japonica) flesh its conte-nts and compositions of free sugars organic aicds and free amino acids were analyzed Major free sugars of the fully ripened loquat were fructose glucose and sucrose and their contents were 3,71, 3.42 and 0.46%(w/w) respectively. The content of total sugar 13.7% was 2 times higher than that of the unripe fruit. The content of total organic acid was about 0.2% (w/w) and major organic acids were malic acid -89mg% formic acid -32mg% and oxalic acid -26%mg% Thirteen kinds of free amino acids from the fully ripened loquat were confirmed. Major free amino acids were aspartic acid valine glutamic acid serine alanine and histidine and their contents were in the range of 18-30mg%.

The rhizome of Polygonatum robustum Nakai (Liliaceae) has been used as a crude drug for the purpose of tonic and thirst cure in Korea. The dried rhizomes were extracted with hot ether, then the residue was extracted with hot alcohol. 1) The three kinds of chemical constituents, substance, I, II and III were isolated by silicagel column chromatography from ether and alcohol extracts of the rhizomes. Substance I was confirmed as ${\beta}-sitosterol$, $C_{29}H_{50}O$ by mass and IR spectroscopy. Substance II was identified as stigmasterol by GLC. 2) Substance III was obtained by crystallization from the column chromatography of alcohol fraction. It was suggested as diosgenin based on chemical and spectral discussions. 3) The concentration of blood sugar was significantly decreased in the group administered the ether extract with 20% dextrose and adrenaline in comparison to that of 20% dextrose and adrenaline along.

By considering the biological properties of a tumor, it should be possible to realize better results in cancer therapy. PET imaging offers the opportunity to measure tumor growth non-invasively and repeatedly as an early assessment of response to cancer therapy. Measuring cellular growth instead of energy metabolism showed offer significant advantages in evaluating therapy. Thymidine and its derivative nucleoside compounds can be changed to mono, di- and tri- phosphate compounds by thymidine kinase and then be incorporated into DNA. Their bindings are increased in highly proliferating cells due to the high DNA synthesis rate. To evaluate cell proliferation, many kinds of thymidine and uridine derivatives have been labeled with positron emitter and radioactive iodine. Compared to radiopharmaceuticals which have radioisotope labeled base ring such as pyirmidine, the radiopharmacuticals which have radioisotope labeled sugar ring are more stable in vivo and have metabolic resistance. The biological properties such as DNA incorporation ratios are highly dependent on their chemical structures and metabolic processes. This overview describes synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals and their biological properties for imaging of tumor cell proliferation.

the Chinese cabbage kimchi was fermented with the various submaterials such as hot pep-per garlic ginger leek green onion fermented anchovy juice and sugar according to the average contents of each submaterial described in the 39 kinds of references. And then the effects of each submaterial and lactic acid bacteria such as L. brevis. Leu. mesenteroides. P cerevisiae and L. plantarum on the content of carotenes were investigated, The major carotene in kimchi was $\beta$-carotene. And also $\delta$-carotene and $\alpha$-carotene were detected. Contents of $\beta$-carotene and total carotene were high in the kimchi containing leek red pepper powder green onion and fermented anchovy juice as a submaterial. But the kimchi containing or omitting the other submaterials were litter affected to the contents of carotene. Contents of $\beta$-carotene and total carotene were high in kimchi fermented with Leu. msenteroides L. brevis and P. cerevi-siae as a starter but was low with L plasntarum.

From the crude saponin obtained from the pods of Gleditschia officinalis seven spots were identified by TLC and quantity of gleditschia B was the highest among them. Ten kinds of prosapogenins were identified from the partial hydrolysates of crude saponin and found that prosapogenin E contain oleanolic acid as a sapogenin and prosapogenin F does echinocystic acid as the sapogenin. Hydrolysis of crude saponin yield glucose and rhamnose and the same sugar were also identified from the mixture of prosapogenin E and F.

Two kinds of sweet potato puree were prepared with Benihayato cultivar of yellow sweet potato with or without $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment. Chemical and rheological properties of enzyme-treated puree were different from those of control puree. Reducing sugar content and iodine value increased by $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment, while alcohol insoluble solids and viscosity decreased by enzyme treatment. However, the changes of carotenoid content were not significantly different. Hunter-b-values(yellowness) were 27.19 and 23.54 for no enzyme-treated puree(NTP) and enzyme-treated puree(ETP), respectively. Hunter-a values(redness) were 2.24 and 6.05 for NTP abd ETP, respectively. Content of total carotenoid of canned puree heated at 13$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min decreased by 59 percents.

To make fermented bamboo shoot liquid, we isolated and classified a microorganism growing in bamboo shoot and investigated its quality characteristics. Crude fiber, crude ash, nitrogen-free extracts, and total sugar contents were higher after fermentation. For free amino acids, only alanine was detected in the control group. Detected 13 kinds of free amino acids were detected in fermented bamboo shoot liquid. In organoleptic test, fermented bamboo shoot beverage containing 20 percent strawberry showed the highest consumer preference.

Alcohol fermentation conditions for the production of plum wine were investigated and further, sensory evaluation and physiological functionalities of the plum wines were also determined and compared with those of plum liquors made by soaking plums in a mixture of commercial soju and 10% sugar for 15, 30, 60 and 120 days. Ethanol was produced maximally when 5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae was added to red plum juices and fermented at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and fibrinolytic activity of the red plum wine were better than those of the plum liquors. However, the antioxidant activity, the SOD-like activity and the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the plum liquors were better than those of the red plum wine. On comparing the red plum wine and the various kinds of plum liquors, the red plum wine was shown to be more acceptable by sensory evaluation.

Hemicelluloses, one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides, are comprised roughly in one-fourth to one-third of most plant materials. Hemicelluloses contain mixtures of 50-200 five-carbon sugars(xylose and arabinose) and six-carbon sugars(glucose, galactose, mannose, and rhamnose), plus lesser amounts of the sugar acids(glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid). The kinds of hemicelluloses are A, B, and C. The interesting substance of them is hemicellulose B. However, the prodution level of hemicellulose B is very low. Thus, this study was concentrated on increasing the recovery yield of hemicellulose B from rice bran.

Carbohydrate analysis is important in studying structure and activity of complex polysaccharides. New analytical method was applied to get an information on the composition of polysaccharides showing antitumor activity. Monosaccharides were labeled with 7-amino-1, 3-naph-thalenedisulfonic acid (7-AGA) by reductive amination and separated by HPLC. Five kinds of polysaccharides from Basidiomycetes were hydrolyzed and analyzed in combination with electrophresis and HPLC. At the same time, alditol acetate derivatives were prepared and analyzed by gas chromatography. Two different techniques using different derivatization methods showed very similar results. The monosaccharides from Coriolus versicolor and Cordyceps militaris were glucose and galactose. Phellinus linteus composed of glucose, glactose, mannose, arabinose and fucose. The HPLC method with fluorescence detector was very sensitive compared to other methods.
