The nutraceutical role of fermented omija (Schizandra chinensis) beverage (FOB) was determined through the analysis of fibrinolytic and alcohol metabolizing activities, nitrite scavenging activity, and angiotensin converting enzyme and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory effects. Firstly, FOB increased fibrinolytic activity in a dose-dependent manner and indicated angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity of 94.8% at 20% FOB (0.6 mg/mL). In addition, the inhibitory activities of FOB on $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase were determined to be 100% at 100% FOB (3 mg/mL) and 49% at 60% FOB (1.8 mg/mL), respectively. Nitrite scavenging activity of FOB was about 96.1%, 72.3%, and 68.3% on pH 1.2, 3.0, and 6.0 at 100% FOB, respectively. To determine influence of FOB on alcohol metabolism, the generating activities of reduced-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were measured. Facilitating rate of ADH activity was 70.3% at 50% FOB, but ALDH activity was not affected. These results revealed that FOB has a strong alcohol metabolizing activity, and fibrinolytic and nitrite scavenging activities and exhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme, $\alpha$-amylase, and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

The influences of some factors involved in removing glucose from egg white by the glucose oxidase system be fore drying were investigated. And the properties between foams prepared from raw and enzyme-treat ed egg white was compared. The results obtained we re summarized as follows; 1. The dianisidine method was found to be suitable for the measurement of egg white glucose in the range up to 100ug/ml. 2. The optimal pH of glucose oxidase activity on glucose was found to be a bout 5.0, and thats activity was most stable in the pH range of about 4.0~5.0 when that enzyme was treat ed for 30 minute at $50^{\circ}C$. 3. The optimal temperature for glucose oxidase reaction on glucose was found to be about $20^{\circ}C$, and that enzyme activity was s table up to $50^{\circ}C$. 4. The removing rate of glucose from egg white with glucose oxidase was influenced by the enzyme concentration, pH and oxygen addition, and the react ion time of the desugarization was about 10 hour sunder the conditions of 0.5% hydrogen peroxide, pH 7.0 and $26^{\circ}C$. 5. All of the each egg white treated with glucose oxidase, glucose oxidase+pancreatin, glucose oxidase+trypsin showed highly foaming ability than that of natural egg white(control), but thats foam stability, on the contrary, was reversed.

For the effective utilization of diverse and abundant resource of seaweeds in Korea as a food protein supplment, extraction conditions of water, salt, and alkali soluble proteins were investigated in previous work(Ryu and Lee, 1977: Lee et al., 1977: Lee et al., 1978). The present study as a part of the serial work was thus aimed to find the conditions of isolation and purification of extracted proteins, and to evaluate the nutritional quality of the isolated seaweed proteins in terms of amino acid composition, chemical score, protein score, modified essential amino acid index(MEAAI), and in vitro digestibility presented as pepsin-pancreatin digest residue index (PPDRI). As for the isolation of extracted proteins, TCA treatment was more effective for the proteins from rhodophyceae and Chlorophyceae while the precipitation at isoelectric point was more desirable for Phaeophyceae proteins. In amino acid composition, water soluble protein fraction was superior to the other fractions in Porphyra suborbiculata whereas both water and alkali soluble fractions seemed to bo more benefitial for Enteromorpha linza and Ulva pertusa; the extraction with alcohol-alkali mixed solvent for Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum fulvellum. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid content was particularly high in all protein fractions examined. The total amino acid content of Porphyra suborbiculata and Enteromorpha linza was almost equivalent to that of dried whole egg although the essential amino acid content was lower. A comparative analysis was made on the inedexes between raw seaweed powder and isolated protein. Chemical score of Porphyra suborbiculata and Ulva pertusa was approximately 35 and 56 in cafes of raw powder and isolated protein respectively while only 10 to 16 for raw powder of Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum fulvellum and 30 to 35 for their isolated proteins. Protein score of all isolated proteins was in the range of 63 to 73 which indicates that isolated protein would be mere valuable than the fern of raw seaweed powder. Digestibility by means of PPDRI was found to be extremely low in case of raw powder but it could be doubled in case of isolated protein yielding 67 to 70 for Porphyra suborbiculata and Ulva pertusa.

Changes in available lysine and water soluble proteins were checked to obtain the desirable condition of processing for boiled Neverita didyma under the various autoclaving temperatures and times. It was also carried out to assess the affect of heat treatments upon the solubility of coagulable substances in boiled products. In order to evaluate the nutritional quality of processed Neverita didyma under the highest available lysine retention and without bacteria, it was studied the value of pepsin-pancreatin digest residue index in comparison with unprocessed (raw) material. The crude protein content of raw material was higher than that of the other mollusks, while the content of crude fat was showing lower value. It was noticed that the higher contents of coagulable substances and water soluble proteins in processed Neverita didyma were obtained under the conditions, retort temperature at $120^{\circ}C$ above, and 40-60 min. sterilization. After the pannel test, the coagulable substances were not found below the level of $0.40{\pm}0.03$ gram nitrogen/ml of juice. The remarkable retention of available lysine (FDNB-reactive lysine) was resulted in the conditions of autoclaving at $115^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes in boiled Neverita didyma products, and that processing condition was coincide with the condition of commercial sterilization for boiled top shell. It was revealed that the boiled meat of Neverita didyma showed the higher PPDRI(65.85) than that of raw material (63.16).
