This study was designed to elucidate the lipid contents, neutral lipids components and fatty acid composition in fresh shellfishes, produced in Korea. Four kinds of shellfishes including sea mussel, short-necked clam, corb shell and and ark shell were selected according to the higher sales order and cheaper retail price at fish markets in Seoul in July 1985. The results abtained were as follows; 1. The average total lipid contents in four shellfishes were 2.3% by wet weight basis. The ratios of neutrial lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid in the total lipid were 51.1 : 4.9 : 44.0 in sea mussel, 66.0 : 3.2 : 30.8 in ark shell, 37.8 : 2.2 : 60.0 in short-necked clam and 54.5 : 2.0 : 53.5 in corb shell, 2. The average value of acid value, iodine value and unsaponifiables contents of total lipids were 1.3, 217.8, 92.0 and 20.3%, respectively. 3. The composition of the neutral lipids were triglycerides, esterified fatty acids, sterylesters, free sterols and monoglycerides in four shellfishes. 4. The major fatty acid composition of total lipids were palmitic, eicosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic and palmitoleic acids in four shellfishes. The average total unsaturated fatty acids of total lipid were 64.5%, and $\omega$-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids were 27.0%. The average p/s Ratiio were 1.3.

Fabrea salina is a hypersaline ciliate having importance as a live food source for juvenile stages of aquatic animals including smaller invertebrates. The analysis of this ciliate for proximate and biochemical composition was carried out. The moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate and ash content of F. salina from natural sources were 86.66$\pm$0.380, 56.66$\pm$0.494%, 36.66$\pm$0.614%, 1$\pm$0.073% and 4$\pm$0.182%, respectively. Gas chromatographic analysis (percent area below the curve) revealed that the presence of oleic acid was higher over other fatty acids in both natural and cultured F. salina. The absolute content of oleic acid was higher in natural (18.91% area) than in the cultured (10.74% area) F. salina. Linoleic and linolenic acids were also among major fatty acids with the percentage area of 16.29 and 14.58, respectively. The number of fatty acids in cultured Fabrea was less as compared to the natural ones and the oleic acid was followed by palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid.

Composition and unsaturation ratio of fatty acids composing phospholipid which is the main constituent of biological membranes are known to be related to the response of plant to cold stress. In order to investigate a relationship between fatty acid unsaturation ratio of phospholipid and the range of cold tolerance of rice cultivars obtained in the field experiment, the lipid from the leaves of 32 rice cultivars were isolated and the fatty acid composition of phospholipid was determined by gas chromatography. In this experiment, composition and unsaturation ratio of fatty acids composing phopholipid on rice plants grown under natural condition and treated with chilling temperature were compared with the cold tolerance in the field for rice cultivars. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The phospholipids isolated from the leaves of 32 rice cultivars both grown under natural condition and chilling treatment contained palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acid as major components and palmitoleic, stearic and oleic acid as minor components. 2. The content of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid, was reduced in rice seedlings subjected to chilling treatment for 3 days at $15^{\circ}C$, and contents of linoleic and linolenic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, were increased. 3. The unsaturation ratio of fatty acid was increased by chilling treatment, and was high in cold-tolerant cultivars but low in cold-susceptible cultivars and the results were correlated with the range of cold tolerance investigated in the field. 4. The content of palmitic acids among fatty acids composing phospholipid was reduced and that of linolenic acid was increased by hardening treatment. 5. The unsaturation ratio of fatty acid was increased 18~24% by hardening treatment compared to control.

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical properties of fermented youbsak sauce to use as a source of the flavor and taste enhancement for kimchi preparation. The pH and total acidities of fermented youbsak sauce were not greatly changed during fermentation. The contents of volatile basic nitrogen and amino type nitrogen were gradually increased during one year fermentation, from 63.7 mg% to 224.8 mg% and from 352.5 mg% to 851.7 mg%, respectively. Acid value were increased until 120 days of fermentation and then it was slightly increased up to 44.3. In fatty acids composition, saturated fatty acids were slightly increased during the fermentation, but unsaturated fatty acids were gradually decreased. Palmitic acid was the most abundant fatty acid and followed by oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, myristic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. The major amino acids in the early stage of fermentation were arginine, glutamic acid, alanine, leucine and valine, while fermentation progress, the amounts of glutamic acid, lysine, phenylalanine increased. Finally, glutamic acid, lysine, phenylalanine, arginine and alanine became the major amino acids after one year fermentation.

These experiments were made to investigate the characteristics of cocoon pupas. The proximate composition and fatty acids were analyzed. In order to eliminate the unfavorable odor of cocoon pupas, alkaline treatment and extraction of fat were conducted. The results were as follows. 1) The unfavorable odor can be eliminated through the extraction of fat. Boiling with n-hexane for 1 hour was the best. 2) The cocoon pupas were contaminated with $10^8$ bacterial counts/g at the first eating state. When they were stored at room temperature for 6 days, bacterial counts did not increase inure than $10^8$, but they were putrefacted with bad odor. 3) The powder of defatted cocoon pupas prepared for food material contained around 1.3% moisture, 76.0% protein, 0.8% crude fat, and 4.8% ash. 4) It was not efficient to eliminate unfavorable odor by alkaline treatment. 5) The fatty acids of cocoon pupas are composed of 0.35% myristic acid, 20.90% palmitic acid, 0.5% palmitoleic acid, 7.11% stearic acid, 32.20% oleic acid, 5.48% linoleic acid and 30.31% linolenic acid.

This study was performed to determine chemical compositions of dried persimmons stored with plastic film at low temperature and the effect of film packaging on dried persimmons during storage. The moisture contents of dried persimmons were 30 to 36% and alcohol contents were 264 to 318 mg/100g and acetaldehyde contents were 25 to 40mg/100g. Total lipid contents of dried persimmon were 626 to 869mg/100g and oleic, palmitic, linolenic, and palmitoleic acid were major fatty acids in total lipids. Major amino acids were glutamic acid, arginine, cystine and aspartic acid. From the result of storage experiment, non-packed group was that hardness was high as decreased in moisture content. In case of film packed groups stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, self life was longer than non-packed and packed groups stored at room temperature. But, it need to develop available packing material and storage method.

Lipid composition and fatty acid composition were characterized in the membrane of a marine ciliate protozoan (Uronema marinum). Phospholipids accounted for 70% of total lipid, and the remainder was neutral lipids. Total phospholipids were separated as phosphatidylcholine $(24.26\%)$, phosphatidylethanolamine $(22.21\%)$, phosphatidylinositol $(6.14\%)$, phosphatidyl­serne $(5.11\%)$, cardiolipin $(3.07\%)$ and unidentified phospholipids $(28.72\%)$ through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Fatty acid composition of neutral lipids and phospholipids was determined by gas chromatography (GC), based solely on comparision of retention times. In neutral lipids, the most abundant fatty acid group was monounsaturated fatty acid $(48.3\% of total fatty acids)$ with oleic acid (18:1) and nervonic acid (24:1). Saturated fatty acids comprised $29.6\%$ of total fatty acids, with palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0) ane myristic acid (14:0), and polyunsaturated fatty acid accounted for $33.0\%$ with $Di-homo-\gamma-linolenic$ acid (20:3) and linoleic acid (18:2). Wherease phospholipids predominantly contained the fatty acid group in the following order: polyunsaturated fatty acids $(52.7\%\;of\;total\;fatty\;acids)$ with linoleic acid (18:2) and $\gamma-linolenic$ acid (18:3) > monounsaturated fatty acids $(28.5\%\;of\;total\;fatty\;acids)$ with oleic acid (18:1) and palmitoleic acid (16:1) > saturated fatty acids $(25.5\%\;of\;total\;fatty\;acids)$ with palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0) and myristic acid (14:0).

A total of 48 different volatile oils were identified form P. brevitarsis larvae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Acids (48.67%) were detected as the major group in P. brevitarsis larvae comprising the largest proportion of the volatile compounds, followed by esters (19.84%), hydrocarbons (18.90%), alcohols (8.37%), miscellaneous (1.71%), aldehydes (1.35%) and terpenes (1.16%). The major volatile constituents were 9-hexadecenoic acid (16.75%), 6-octadecenoic acid (14.88%) and n-hexadecanoic acid (11.06%). The composition of fatty acid was also determined by GC analysis and 16 fatty acids were identified. The predominant fatty acids were oleic acid ($C_{18:1}$, 64.24%) followed by palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$, 15.89%), palmitoleic acid ($C_{16:1}$, 10.43%) and linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$, 4.69%) constituting more than 95% of total fatty acids. The distinguished characteristic of the fatty acid profile of P. brevitarsis larvae was the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acid (80.54% of total fatty acids) versus saturated fatty acids (19.46% of total fatty acids). Furthermore, small but significant amounts of linoleic, linolenic and ${\gamma}$-linolenic acids bestow P. brevitarsis larvae with considerable nutritional value. The novel findings of the present study provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of the insect as a nutritionally promising food source and a possibility for more effective utilization.
