To assay the quality of anchovy sauce, 10 kinds of commercial anchovy sauce(CAS) were purchased from markets and traditional anchovy sauce(TAS) were prepared. And their physicochemical-microbial characteristics were compared. The compositions of CAS were as followed; pH $5.5{\sim}5.7$, salinity $21.0{\sim}23.2%$, VBN $92.8{\sim}305.4\;mg/100g$, total nitrogen $928.0{\sim}1870.9\;mg%$, amino-nitrogen $338.6{\sim}680.3\;mg%$, and acidity $11.58{\sim}24.58\;ml$. The CAS was lower in pH, smaller in contents of VBN, total-N, amino-N and larger in contents of moisture, salinity than TAS. In Hunter values, CAS was generally lower in L, b values whereas higher in a and ${\Delta}E$ values than TAS. Viable cell counts on 0% NaCl-medium of CAS and TAS were $6.4{\times}10^1{\sim}3.0{\times}10^5\;and\;8.7{\times}10^4$, and those on 2.5% NaCl-medium were $0.8{\times}10^2{\sim}2.2{\times}10^5\;and\;1.6{\times}10^4{\sim}4.5{\times}10^5$, respectively. These viable cell counts in CAS and TAS were gradually decreased according to storage time. In composition of extractives, total free amino acid contents of CAS and TAS were $5498.5{\sim}12123.8\;mg%$, 12797.9 mg%, and these contents were gradually decreased during storage. The major amino acids were found glutamic acid, alanine and leucine in CAS, and alanine, glutamic acid, leucine and valine in TAS. Also contents of hypoxanthine, TMAO, TMA in CAS and TAS were shown $86.4{\sim}161.2\;mg%,\;51.6{\sim}99.2\;mg%,\;23.2{\sim}42.9\;mg%$ and 103.7 mg%, 128.8 mg%, 55.8 mg%, respectively. We may conclude from the results of present experiments that parts of tested CAS were somewhat putrefied and there was a great difference in the quality compared with TAS, whereas TAS maintained good conditions for preserving the quality until storage 2 years.

To detect proper lytic assay conditions of the crude zumolyase from Arthrobacter luteus, effets of the various factors involved in the lytic system of Sacchromyces sake cultured with shaking in the malt extracts medium were investigated. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The susceptibilities of viable cells of S. sake from logarithmic growth phase to the lytic enzmye were much greater than those of the cells in lag and stationary phases. The cells cultured for 18 hr were the most susceptible to the enzyme. 2. Lytic activity of the enzyme toward the viable cells of S. sake was very low. It was, however, enhanced 4 folds of more by the pretreatment of the cells with 0.05 M sodium sulfite. 3. Lytic activity of the enzyme toward commercial baker's yeast cells was negligible, and the effect of sodium sulfite on the lysis of the cells also was nothing but a little. 4. The lyophilized cells of the baker's yeast showed more susceptibility to the lytic enzyme than viable cells of the yeast. No definite effect of sodium sulfite on the lysis of the lyophilized cells, however, was observed either baker's yeast of S. sake. 5. It appeared that the relationship between the reaction rate and the enzyme concentration on the lysis of the yeast cell walls followed enzyme kinetic theory, but one between the reaction rate and concentration of the yeast cells as substrates showed different pattern from that in enzyme kinetic theory. 6. After the preparation of crude zymolyase was kept at $7^[\circ}C$ for 10 days in the 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, the remainning lytic activity was about 80 %.

Detection of spoilage odors from beef during storage was investigated using sensory evaluation with R-index, and microbial assay for Pseudomonas. Beef samples were tested to measure the flavor changes, which were converted to R-index, and the Pseudomonas levels during storage. There was a steep rise in R-index until 36 hr after storage at 25$^{\circ}C$, and then a gentle rise from 48 hr, whereas, there was a steady rise in R-index in the whole range of storage at 5$^{\circ}C$. Detection time of spoilage odors according to R-index was statistically analyzed at $\alpha$=5% to be at 30.92${\pm}$3.47 hr and 169.80${\pm}$11.27 hr for 25 and 5$^{\circ}C$ storage, respectively, and analyzed at $\alpha$=1% to be 34.80${\pm}$4.01 and 176.41${\pm}$9.89 hr for 25 and 5$^{\circ}C$ storage, respectively. At the detection times of spoilage odors, the Pseudomonas levels were found to be almost the same, but less than 6-7 log CFU/g generally known as a standard level at occurrence of spoilage odors in beef. This indicated that some other factors than the Pseudomonas reactions could be associated with generation of spoilage odors.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of fermentation by B. subtilis (BPLE), L. brevis (LPLE), S. cerevisiae (SPLE) and C. militaris (CPLE) on the antioxidant activity of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae fed with mushroom substrates (king oyster mushroom). The total polyphenol content of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (PLE), BPLE, LPLE, SPLE and CPLE were 58.07±0.67, 83.33±0.98, 79.21±1.32, 61.02±0.87 and 57.90±1.02 mg GAEs/extract g, respectively. The flavonoid contents of the PLE, BPLE, LPLE, SPLE and CPLE were 17.35±1.57, 19.49±0.95, 16.90±1.57, 18.12±0.95 and 16.99±0.95 mg QEs/extract g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity showed no significant difference between the PLE, BPLE, LPLE, SPLE and CPLE at a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml. However, at a concentration of 0.4 mg/ml or more, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the BPLE and LPLE was higher than that of the PLE. The reducing power of the BPLE and LPLE was also higher than that of the PLE, and more than twice as high at a concentration of 0.8 mg/ml or more. The ORAC value of the BPLE (79.77±0.82 uM TEs/extract g) was higher than that of the PLE (61.34±0.97 uM TEs/extract g). A WST-1 assay of the RAW 264.7 cells indicated that the PLE, BPLE, LPLE, SPLE and CPLE showed no cytotoxicity.
