Artificially-produced juvenile black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli (total length $8.3{\pm}1.0\;cm$, body weight $11.2{\pm}4.2\;g$) were released in eelgrass, Zostera marina bed and their initial food organism and changes of body compositions were investigated for one month after release. Predation rates in fish sampled on 1st and 3rd days were 79%, increased up to 100% on 7th and 10th days, and then decreased on 30th days as 75%. Major prey organisms was composed of mainly Amphipoda and Gastropoda. Ratio of Amphipoda and Gastropoda in stomach were highest in fish sampled on 15th and 1st days after release, respectively. Crustacea and Algae were maintained about 20% during a sampling period. Visceral weight index (VWI) offish sampled 20th and 30th after release were significantly higher than that of initial. Carcass crude protein and lipid contents of released fish were showed significantly decreasing; however carcass n-3 HUFA composition was showed increasing tendency with the passage of time after release. Eelgrass bed was supposed to be helpful for the released fish to adjust their feeding habits and biochemical metabolism to the natural environment within a short period after release.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ozone treatment on removal of brown color and ammonia-like odor produced from shark cartilage (SC) and to establish the optimal extraction conditions of chondroitin sulfate (CS) by NaOH and hot water. Treatment of SC with 0.3 ppm ozone water resulted in higher color $L^*$ value but lower $a^*$ and $b^*$ values compared with those of non-treated SC, without affecting its proximate compositions (moisture, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and ash). Ozone treatment also increased the overall acceptability of SC by reducing ammonia-like odor. The optimum concentration and time for extraction of CS from SC using NaOH at $100^{\circ}C$ were 1 N and 120 min, respectively, with 10.02% of extraction yield. The total yield (10.01%) of CS obtained by 7 times repeated extraction with hot water at $100^{\circ}C$ was comparable to that of the 1 N NaOH extraction for 120 min at $100^{\circ}C$.

In order to establish the quality standard of Jeju traditional Doenjang(soybean paste), general components, free sugar, organic acid, fatty acids, amino acids, and isoflavones contents were analyzed. Moisture, crude ash, crude protein, crude lipid, acid value, pH, and salinity were 37.33~47.43%, 12.75~15.97%, 11.06~14.28%, 0.08~0.53%, 17.83~27.55 mg/g, 4.82~5.12, and 10.66~13.91% respectively. The content of amino type nitrogen was 301.06~573.89 mg%. The compositions of free sugar were glucose (0.81~10.22 mg/g), maltose(0.64~5.28 mg/g), sucrose(0.78~3.86 mg/g), and fructose(0.72~1.11 mg/g). The major organic acid was lactic acid (89.30~180.39 mg/g). Total free amino acids were from 13.89 to 15.51%, which makes no difference between the test samples. Among amino acids, glutamic acid was abundant (2.12~2.55%). The contents of isoflavones were 274.87~431.96 mg/kg, less than those of commercial soybean paste. In fatty acid composition of soybean paste, the most abundant fatty acid was found to be linoleic acid as 61.54~66.79% in Jeju traditional Doenjang. This results might be caused by the differences of brewed periods, microflora, processing methods and used soybean cultivars.

Levels of minerals, vitamin, amino acids, fatty acids and chemical compositions were determined in the fleshy parts that are used for food. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash and carbohydrate contents of masou salmon were $73.6{\pm}0.4$, $17.7{\pm}0.3$, $3.3{\pm}0.2$, $1.3{\pm}0.1$ and $4.1{\pm}0.2%$, respectively. Potassium was the highest followed by phosphorus, calcium and sodium. The vitamin C and E levels in masou salmon were 600 and $200\;{\mu}g/100\;g$, respectively. Sixteen amino acids were detected and essential amino acids among them are threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, arginine, and histidine. Oleic acid was the most abundant fatty acid in masou salmon and polyunsaturated fatty acids were EPA, DHA, linoleic acid, $\alpha$-linolenic acid, $\gamma$-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid. These results may offer a scientific basis for the commercial use of masou salmon.

Some physicochemical properties of sugary rices were comparatively analyzed with the original cultivars, using Hwachung su-1, su-2, and Nampung su lines bred in Seoul Nat'l Univ., and EM 5 bred in Kyushu Univ. Sugary rice grains were smaller in width and thickness, and the relative dry weight of 1000 grains of sugary rices ranged from 49% to 72%, compared to normal ones. No distinct starch granules were found in endosperm of sugary rices exposured by SEM, with structural variations between Hwachung su-1 and su-2 lines. Sugary rices showed the significant increases in sucrose, glucose and fructose content, especially much higher in sucrose content showing 5.84-8.79%, in comparison with the normal ones, 1.11∼2.65%. However, sucrose and total sugar content varied within sugary lines carrying the same sugary gene, and were significantly lower in Hwachung su-2. Sugary rices, except Hwachung su-1, showed the same or lower ADV and harder gel characteristics, compared to normal ones. Protein and lipid content were much higher in sugary rices, due to the increased relative proportion of aleurone layer in brown rice caused by thicker aleurone layer than in normal rices and the reduction of endosperm part. However, there were no remarkable changes in amino acid and fatty acid compositions.

To improve the quality of Gulbi, 10% garlic juice (GJ), 10% onion juice (OJ), and 10% garlic and onion juice mixture (GOJ) were added to the brine solution as a wet-salting method. The changes of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and trimethyl amine (TMA) production, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value, and total microbial numbers in Gulbi were analyzed during storage at room temperature for 12 days. The group treated with 10% GOJ showed the lowest values of 88.2 mg/l00 g in TVB-N, 14.13 mg/l00 g in TMA, and 3.1 $\mu$mol/kg in TBARS. The fatty acid profile of Gulbi was analyzed on 5, 15, and 30 days to investigate the effect of GOJ treatment. The group treated with GOJ showed higher C22:6 (9.91%) and C20:5 (4.25%) contents than control (7.37% and 3.71%, respectively), but had lower C18:1 (24.44%) content. The saturated fatty acid content in Gulbi was 32∼35% and the C16:0 (21∼23%) was predominant in it. Oleic acid was major unsaturated fatty acid in Gulbi. The contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (C18:3, C20:5, C22:6) were decreased after 30 days but increased the saturated fatty acid (C16:0) and monoenes (C16:1 and C18:1). The Gulbi treated with GOJ by brine salting method showed higher DHA and EPA (9.91% and 4.25%, respectively) contents than the control group.

The effect of dietary fish oil ( mackerel oil : MO, eel oil : EO) on energy utilization in rats was studied with measurements of various tissue lipoprotein lipase( LPL ) and live and heart mitochondrial respiration. Fatty acid composition of mitrochondrial inner membrane matrix was also investigated. Dietary fat level was 10%( w/w) and reference groups were fed soybean oil (SO), repeseed oil ( RO) and beef tallow( BT ). Activity of LPL was about 60% higher in post-heparin plasma and 2 to 3 times higher in adipose tissue of BT group than fish oil or vegetable oil group. But there was no significant difference between fish oil and vegetable oil groups. Inclusion of EO above 2% (w/w) in dietary fat with fille oil of BT, markedly reduced both post -heparin plasma and adipose tissue LPL. Effects of MO and EO were not different in adipose tissue LPL, but EO was more effective than MO, in reducing post -heparin plasma LPL when mixed fat with varying amount of fish oil was used. Hepatic mitochondria isolated from fish oil-fed group showed the lowest rate of respiration but had P/O ratio comparable to SO and BT groups. On the other hand, cardiac mitochondria of fish oil group showed no difference in all the mitochondrial respiration parameters observed RO group had lowest P/O ratio both in hepatic and cardiac mitochondria. Fatty acid compositions of mitochondrial lipid differ between SO, RO, BT and MO groups, notably in the content of $C_{22:1}$ fatty acid.

Eighteen Korean chestnut cultivars were collected from various places and the proximate compositions, dietary fiber, amino acid and free sugar contents in three parts (whole kernel, white kernel, yellow kernel) of eighteen Korean chestnut cultivars were analyzed. The white kernel of Chukfa and the yellow kernel of Ipyung contained the highest amount of moisture and crude protein, respectively. Carbohydrate content of whole kernel showed a range of $30.8{\sim}52.0%$ and crude ash content of whole kernel showed a range of $0.9{\sim}1.8%$. The amount of crude lipid was the highest in Byunggo. The amount of dietary fiber in Kwangeun, Daebo, Parkmi 1 ho, Yooma and Pyeonggi were higher than that of other Korean chestnut cultivars. Seventeen amino acids were detected. Major amino acids of the various chestnuts were aspartic acid and leucine. The amount of amino acids was higher in Ichui, Ipyung and Pyeonggi but was lower in Dantaek and Sandae than that of other samples. The major free sugar in the chestnuts was glucose. The free sugar amount of yellow kernels was higher than the white kernels.

Soybean curd was prepared using cuttlebone powder treated with acetic acid (ATC), and its characteristics were determined. Soybean protein was coagulated by adding calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and ATC at 0.7, 1.2, and 0.9%, respectively, or higher. Yield, white index, texture, and sensory evaluations revealed the optimal concentration of ATC for preparation of soybean curd was 2.0% of total soybean weight. The proximate compositions of soybean curd prepared by adding 2.O% ATC were 75.9%, 12.6%, 1.9%, 5.3%, 6.60, and $1.0×10^4$ CFU/g in for moisture, crude protein, crude ash, crude lipid, pH, and viable cell count, respectively. Although white index and mineral content of both soybean curds were similar, texture of ATC-prepared soybean curd was superior to that of soybean curd prepared with 1.5% calcium chloride.

As a part of basic investigation for utilizing by-products derived from seafood processing as a food source, a chemical characteristics of fish bones (cod bone, Alaska pollack bone, yellowfin sole bone, hoki bone, conger eel bone and mackerel bone) were investigated. The crude protein (40.7% on the dry basis) and collagen contents (5.86%, on the dry basis), imino acid composition (189 residues/1,000 residues) of hoki bone were higher than those of the other fish bones, but were lower than those of the animal bone. The crude lipid contents and EPA and DHA compositions of yellowfin sole, conger eel and mackerel bones were $22.8{\sim}43.9%$ on the dry basis and $15.6{\sim}23.8%$, respectively and were lower than those of squid viscera. The major ash components of the fish bones were found to be calcium and phosphorus and the contents in 100 g crude ash were $37.1{\sim}38.6%$ and $18.0{\sim}18.5%$ respectively. The calcium and phosphorus contents in 100 g crude ash of cod and Alaska pollack bones were more than those of the animal bones, as well as the others. It may be concluded, front these results, hoki bone can be effectively utilized as a processing materal of collagen or gelatin and cod and Alaska pollack bones as a calcium source.
