This study evaluated the dietary lysine requirement by measuring the plasma free lysine concentrations in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss after dorsal aorta cannulation. A basal diet containing 36.6 % crude protein (29.6 % crystalline amino acids mixture, 5 % casein and 2 % gelatin) was formulated to one of the seven L-amino acid based diets containing graded levels of lysine (0.72, 1.12, 1.52, 1.92, 2.32, 2.72 or 3.52 % dry diet). A total of 35 fish averaging $512{\pm}6.8g$ ($mean{\pm}SD$) were randomly distributed into seven groups with five fish in each group. After 48 h of feed deprivation, each group of fish was fed one of the experimental diets by intubation at 1 % body weight. Blood samples were taken at 0, 5 and 24 h after intubation. Post-prandial plasma free lysine concentrations (PPlys, 5 h after intubation) of fish fed diets containing ${\geq}2.32%$ lysine were higher than those of fish fed diets containing ${\leq}1.92%$ lysine. Post-absorptive free lysine concentrations (PAlys, 24 h after intubation) of fish fed diets containing 2.32 and 3.52 % lysine were higher than those of fish fed diets containing ${\leq}1.52%$ lysine. The brokenline regression analysis on the basis of PPlys and PAlys indicated that the lysine requirement of rainbow trout could be 2.34 and 2.20 % in diet. Therefore, these results strongly suggested that the dietary lysine requirement based on the broken-line model analyses of PPlys and PAlys could be greater than 2.20 % but less than 2.34 % (corresponding to be $6.01%{\leq},but{\leq}6.39%$ in dietary protein basis, respectively) in rainbow trout. Also, these results shown that the quantitative estimation of lysine requirement by using PPlys and PAlys could be an acceptable method in fish.

These experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional and feeding value of red pepper seed oil meal (RPSOM) as local vegetable protein ingredients for poultry feeding. In the first experiment, nutritional values of RPSOM were evaluated by analyzing chemical compositions and determining true metabolizable energy (TME), nitrogen corrected TME (TMEn) and true available amino acid (TAAA) contents. According to the chemical analysis, RPSOM contained 22.50％ of crude protein, 4.75％ of ether extract, 27.70％ of crude fiber, 0.34 mg／g of capsaicin and 49.97 ppm of xanthophylls. The values of TME and TMEn determined by force-feeding 16 roosters (ISA-Brown) were 1.73 kcal／g and 1.63 kcal／g on dry matter basis, respectively. The average TAAA value of 16 amino acids measured by the force－feeding technique was 81.70％. These values were used for formulating experimental diets containing various levels of RPSOM for broiler chicks and laying hens. Two feeding trials were made to investigate the effects of dietary incorporation of RPSOM into chicken feed performances of broiler chicks and laying hens. In the broiler feeding (Exp. 2), a total of two hundred twenty-five, 4 wk old male broiler chicks (Ross) were randomly divided into 9 groups of 25 birds each and assigned to three experimental diets containing 0, 5 and 10% RPSOM. The birds were fed ad libitum the diets for 3 wk and feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion rate were determined. At the end of the feeding, the blood levels of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and cholesterol, and the body and fatty acid compositions of leg muscle were measured. No significant differences were observed in weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion rate, body composition, serum levels of GOT, GGT and BUN among the treatments. However, blood cholesterol level was lower (P＜0.05) in 10% RPSOM diet group than those in the other. The dietary RPSOM at 5 and 10% levels increased the content of linoleic acid (P＜0.05) in leg muscle compared to that of control group. The results indicate that RPSOM can be used for broiler feed up to 10% without any significant negative effects on broiler performance. In the layer feeding (Exp. 3), the effects of dietary RPSOM on the performances of laying hen were investigated by feeding ninety 45 wk old laying hens (ISA-Brown) with experimental diets containing 0, 5 and 10% RPSOM for 4 wk (30 birds per treatment). Measurements were made on egg production rate, egg weight, feed intake, Haugh unit, egg shell strength which was higher (P＜0.05) in layers fed 10% RPSOM diet compared to those fed 0 and 5% RPSOM diets. Thus, it can be concluded that RPSOM can be included into laying hen feed up to 10% without any harmful effects.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth characteristics, yield, chemical compositions and nutritive yield of whole crop barley varieties harvested in a paddy field. The experimental design was arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of five whole crop barley varieties (Yuyeon, Youngyang, Wooho, Dami, Soman). The planting date was on 21 October 2009 and the samples were harvested on 21 May 2010. Dry matter yield was higher in Youngyang and Dami than other varieties (p<0.05). Crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, ADF and TDN were not significantly different. Crude fiber was the highest at Dami (31.4%), and Youngyang (31.4%) exhibited the lowest crude fiber compared to other varieties (p<0.05). NDF was higher in the order of Wooho > Dami > Soman > Yuyeon > Youngyang (p<0.05). Total mineral content was higher in the order of Youngyang > Wooho > Dami > Soman > Yuyeon (p<0.05). The contents of both essential and non-essential amino acids were not different among whole crop barley varieties. Yields of crude protein was the highest in Wooho (p<0.05), and yields of mineral, amino acid, free sugar and TDN were the highest in Youngyang. Based on the results from this study, it can be suggested that Youngyang and Wooho showed to have higher productivity and high nutritive values compared to other varieties.

Physicochemical analysis of the wild grape juice and its wine extracted with ethanol were assessed. The contents of moisture in wild grape juice and its wine were 78.7${\pm}$0.2% and 74.4${\pm}$O.4%, respectively. Total anthocyanin and flavonoid contents of wild grape juice were higher 4 times and 10 times than those of wild grape wine, respectively. Of the 17 amino acids, the glutamic acid in wild gape juice and threonine in wild grape wine were the highest, which were 43.7${\pm}$1.4mg/100 g and 14.1${\pm}$0.7 mg/100 g, respectively. Electron donating abilities of wild grape juice and its wine at concentration of 1,000 ${\mu}$g/ml were 93.1${\pm}$1.2% and 88.9${\pm}$O.8%, respectively. The nitrite scavenging abilities of wild grape juice and its wine were gradually increased by increasing levels of the extracts to 79.6${\pm}$1.27% and 72.8${\pm}$1.01% at concentration of 1,000 ${\mu}$g/ml under pH 2.5.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritive values of defatted rice bran (DRB) and examine the effects of its dietary supplementation on broiler performances. In Experiment 1, to measure true metabolizable energy (TME), nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEn), and true amino acid availability (TAAA), 30g of DRB sample was forced-fed to each of 16 ISA-Brown roosters followed by a 48h collection of excreta. The TME and TMEn values for DRB were 2.19 kcal/g and 2.05 kcal/g, respectively. The mean value of TAAA of the 15 amino acids in DRB was 77.29%. In Experiment 2, a total of 72 Avian broiler chicks were divided into 4 groups with 3 replicates of 6 birds per replicate, and fed one of the experimental diets containing 0, 5, 10 or 15% of DRB. Feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion rate, and body composition were measured for 3 weeks. Although there were no significant differences (P$\geq$0.05), body weight gain and feed intake of chickens fed a diet containing 15% DRB were slightly higher than those of the other groups. From these results, it can be concluded that feed formulation using TMEn and TAAA of DRB is an effective method for assuring feed quality and DRB can be supplemented to broiler rations up to 15% level.

The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β(C/EBPβ), a member of the leucine zipper DNA-binding protein of transcription factor, plays a crucial role in the control of early phases of adipocyte differentiation. In this studies, we report the identification, characterization, and expression of the Korean native cattle C/EBPβ gene. The Korean native cattle and black cattle C/EBPβ cDNA includes a 1047bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 348 amino acids. The C/EBPβ cDNA sequence of the Korean native cattle and black cattle shows high conservation with the corresponding amino acid sequences reported in other species. The distribution of C/EBPβ mRNA in various tissues of Korean native cattle aged 26 months was investigated using Northern Blot analysis. The C/EBPβ expression was detected in adipose tissue, lung, sirloin while expression was not detected in heart, kidney, small intestine, colon, and liver. However, we are analyzed polymorphism of bZIP domain in the C/EBPβ gene. A polymorphism was not identified at this position.

To evaluate the effect of irradiation on restructured pork jerky containing paprika and Japanese apricot extracts, the quality of protein was determined in vitro based on the formation of trypsin indigestible substrate inhibitor (TIS) and the computed protein efficiency ratio (C-PER) as determined based on the protein digestibility and amino acid analysis. In addition, we compared the effects of electron beam irradiation to those of gamma irradiation. Approximately 3% of the moisture content of pork jerky was reduced in response to irradiation with 3kGy administered using an electron beam however, no additional reduction was observed in samples that were subjected to higher doses of irradiation. In addition, there were no notable differences in the crude protein and fat content of pork jerky samples that were subjected to irradiation, regardless of dose. Furthermore, the total amino acids profiles did not change in response to electron beam irradiation. However, the in vitro protein digestibility increased by 7% in response to 3kGy of electron beam irradiation and 5kGy of gamma irradiation, but no significant changes in digestibility were not observed in response to treatment with higher doses. TIS quantified as trypsin inhibitors were formed in response to irradiation using the electron beam (3kGy) and gamma rays (5kGy), although there was a slight reduction in the production of TIS inhibitors in samples irradiated with higher doses. Moreover, only samples irradiated with 10kGy (electron beam and gamma ray) showed higher TBA values than those of the control samples. Finally, the C-PERs $(2.50{\sim}2.60)$ were greater in all of the irradiated pork jerky samples than in the control samples (2.22). Taken together, these results suggest that electron beam irradiation and the incorporation of extracts (paprika and Japanese apricot) may be useful methods of improving the nutritional quality of pork jerky.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of psychrotrophic bacteria on the quality of raw milk. Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 was selected as lipolytic species, and Serratia liquefaciens as proteolytic species. Lipase present in inoculated raw milk with Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 did not affect total solid and fat contents. However, the free fatty acid (FFA) content, especially short chain FFAs, of milk with Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 was dramatically increased. FFAs produced by lipolysis of milk fat are important in flavor of dairy products, excessive lipolysis occurring in milk and dairy products could cause off-flavor, and produced FFAs may have an underiable effect on their flavor. In addition, protease influenced the quality of inoculated raw milk with Serratia liquefaciens. In degradation patterns of casein by SDS-PAGE analysis from inoculatred raw milk with Serratia liquefaciens, casein content was gradually decreased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$, and extensive degradation of $\kappa$-casein was observed on the storage day of 13. The free amino acids such as leucine, valine, arginine, and tyrosine were dramatically increased, which causes bitter taste in raw milk. These excessive peptides in dairy products, produced by psychrotrophic bacteria, can be possible to develop off-flavors and be responsible for gelling of milk by degradation.

As a part of the investigation for utilizing pearl oyster by-products, a rapid salt-fermented pearl oyster using commercial enzyme was prepared and also examined on the characteristics. The salt-fermented pearl oyster prepared by optimal condition, which was prepared by mixing of minced pearl oyster, 15% salt, and 1% $Protamex^\circledR$ and fermented for 4 weeks, was superior in hydrolysis degree (28.7%) and ACE inhibitory activity (92.6%) to salt-fermented pearl oyster prepared by other conditions, such as the use of whole tissue, different enzymes $(Alcalase^\circledR,\;Neutrase^\circledR\;and\;Flavourzyme^\circledR)$, different salt concentrations (20 and 25%), and different fermentation periods (2, 6 and 8 weeks). There were, however, some shortcomings with this product. It showed a dark green color and an unfavorable bitter taste. These shortcomings were improved by the addition of seasoning paste. The calcium and phosphorus contents of the seasoned salt-fermented pearl oyster were 64.2 mg/100 g and 71.6 mg/100 g, respectively, and the calcium content based on phosphorus was a good ratio for absorbing calcium. The total amino acid content of the seasoned and salt-fermented pearl oyster was 7,054 mg/100 g and the major amino acids ware aspartic acid (555.1 mg/100 g), glutamic acid (1,131.2 mg/100 g), alanine (658.2 mg/100 g), and lysine (695.5 mg/100 g). The seasoned salt-fermented pearl oyster, along with angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (98.3%), also showed a recognizable level (87.5%) of anti-oxidative activity.
