We investigated the nutritional components of the major commercial frozen seafood products (MCFSP) [sliced frozen-skipjack tuna (ST), -bigeye tuna (BET), -bluefin tuna (BFT), -yellowfin tuna (YT), fish steaks (FST), fish pancakes (FP), fish cutlets (FC), seafood cake balls (SCB), fried shrimp (FS), shrimp patties (SP), shrimp cutlets (SC)] in Korea. All species of sliced frozen tuna and FST were classified as low-calorie foods; the other frozen seafood products were classified as medium-calorie foods. The MCFSP were significant sources of nutritional and functional minerals: the SCB and SC provided calcium; the FST, FC, and SCB provided phosphorus; the BET, YT, and FST provided potassium; the FST, FC, and BFT provided magnesium; the FST, FP and SC provided iron; the SCB, FS, SP, and SC provided zinc; the YT and SCB provided copper; and the FC provided manganese. The total amino acid contents of the MCFSP were in the range of 6.85-26.34 g/100 g. Glutamic acid was the major amino acid in the SCB, FS, SP, and SC. Fatty acid contents were in the range of 386-2,925 mg/100 g; the major fatty acids in the ST, BFT and YT were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 22:6n-3. The MCFSP were not a significant source of vitamin A or riboflavin.

This study was conducted to investigate VFA, monosaccharides and metabolites in rumen fluid according to feeding methods. Three castrated Hanwoo steers were used to the $3{\times}3$ Latin square design, 10 day for the diet adaptation period. VFA and monosaccharides which were not detected by HPLC and HPAEC however, those were detected by $^1H-NMR$. Among the metabolites measured by $^1H-NMR$ carbohydrate metabolites, pyruvate was detected only in the rumen fluid before feeding and succinate was detected before and after feeding rumen fluid. In amino acid total 9 metabolites were detected. In lipid metabolites, ethylene glycol was significantly higher (P<0.05) in before feeding Con group. In aliphatic acylic metabolite, trimethylamine N-oxide was no significant difference observed compare to Con group. In this study, many metabolites were observed in the rumen fluid by $^1H-NMR$, and it confirmed that rumen metabolic products were changed by feeding methods.

This study was conducted to compare the nutritional properties of cookies made with Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio (C-IC) to those made without Israeli carp (control). The proximate composition of C-IC per 100 g was 4.1 g moisture, 9.7 g protein, 29.2 g lipid, 1.4 g ash, and 55.6 g carbohydrates. Moisture, protein and ash contents were significantly higher and the carbohydrate content was significantly lower (P<0.05) in C-IC than control, but there was no difference in lipid content (P>0.05). The total amino acid content of C-IC per 100 g was 9.46 g and the major amino acid was glutamic acid (2.49 g). The mineral contents of C-IC per 100 g were 216.6 mg calcium, 193.2 mg phosphorus, 170.9 mg potassium, and 18.2 mg magnesium, which were all significantly higher than the contents of the control (P<0.05). The major fatty acids of C-IC were 16:0, 18:1n-9, and 18:2n-6. The digestibility of C-IC in the small intestine was 51.3%, which was higher than the digestibility of the control. These results suggest that C-IC have better nutritional properties than the control.

Crickets have been used as crude drug for treating fever and hypertension in East Asia. This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics such as the microbial and nutrient contents of crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) prepared with various processing conditions for use as food. These conditions included the lyophilization process (LP), hot-air process (HP, $90^{\circ}C$ for 7 hr), roasting process (RP, $160^{\circ}C$ for 40 min), and frying process (FP, $180^{\circ}C$ for 30 sec). The total bacterial population of the crickets was 5~7 log CFU/g, but Coliform and E. coli were not detected. The major fatty acids in all the samples were palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1), and linoleic acid (C18:2). The level of polyunsaturated fatty acids was highest (63.55 g/100 g) in the LP-processed crickets. As for the amino acid content, the glutamic acid level was highest in all the samples, and the RP and FP decreased by 12.01% and 53.88%, respectively, compared to that of the LP. The mineral contents were highest in the LP-processed crickets. Hg was detected at about 1.0 ppb in all the samples, but its level was lower than the residue tolerance level in the Korean Food Code. Such conditions should be considered to better understand the quality characteristics of crickets in food processing.

In this study, the microbial control effect after treatment of washing solutions (tap water, electrolyzed water, chlorine dioxide solution) and quality changes were investigated when Kwamegi is produced by means of the cold air drying. The initial moisture rate of the sample was 56.62% before drying. At the beginning of drying period, moisture rate sharply fell down but as the experiment progressed, moisture reducing rate was smoothly decreased. The color difference of Kwamegi before drying was 42.40, but it was reduced depending on the increment of drying temperature and time. TBA value of the initial sample was 0.219, rancidity were increased continuously when drying progressed. Total amino acid content was showed the highest value at $25^{\circ}C$ for 36h and the lowest at $40^{\circ}C$ for 12h. From the fatty acids analysis, major fatty acids were consisted of the 14:0, 16:0 and 18:1 (18.1520.96%, 28.0632.51% and 17.0619.81%, respectively). The microbial control effect was biggest when Kwamegi was washed with chlorine dioxide 100ppm for 60s. The microbe of the Kwamegi, Pseudomonas sp. and Pseudomonas putida were identified.

A repebody, an artificial non-immunoglobulin protein scaffold, is expected to be a solution in the search for faster, cheaper, and customizable antibodies. However, the production of medical repebodies remains difficult due to their low yield and the complex purification processes required. The Pseudomonas fluorescens ABC transporter system has been suggested as an efficient and cost-effective method for repebody production, but the total yield is low because of the secreted protein's positive charge; thus, a repebody with a high isoelectric point needs to be changed into a more negatively charged protein for better secretion. To achieve this, we first attached oligo-aspartic acids to the N- and C-terminals of the repebody, but secretion efficiency was not enhanced significantly. Subsequently, we devised an alternative method for improved secretion efficiency by engineering fifteen positively charged amino acids to aspartic acid in the non-antigen binding sites of the repebody to give a high net negative charge. As a result, secretion efficiency was greatly enhanced from 21.2% (wildtype) to 58.5% (negatively supercharged). The negatively supercharged repebody was succussfully produced extracellularly by ABC transporter secretion system in P. fluorescens.

The comparative effects of the fibrinolytic, and tyrosinase inhibition activities and electrophoretical protein patterns with freeze-drying silkworm powder (FDSW), heating-drying silkworm powder (HDSW) and fermented silkworm powder by Bacillus subtilis or Lactobacillus hilgardii were investigated. When total protein patterns of FDSW, HDSW, both fermented SW, were analyzed by native- and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), there were slightly varietal differences in electrophoretical protein patterns. Major minerals of FDSW and HDSW were K, Ca, Mg, and Zn. Major compositional amino acids of FDSW and HDSW were glycine, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and serine. Major fatty acids of FDSW and HDSW were linolenic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. Fibriolytic activity was the highest in the fermented FDSW by 5% B. subtilis among the various samples. Tyrosinase inhibition activity was higher in the water and 70% methanolic extract of FDSW than in HDSW. DPPH radical scavenging activity was slightly stronger in HDSW than in FDSW. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity was higher in FDSW or HDSW fermented by L. hilgardii than that fermented by B. subtilis, however, all samples exhibited a relatively low activity compared to the butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). These results may provide the basic data to understand the biological activities of fermented SW.

In order to develop materials of crab-like flavorant, taste compounds including physicochemical characteristics were analyzed in red snow crab cooker effluent(RSCCE) and hepatopancreas. The $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ was a suitable condition in from 1.5 to $40\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE by sensory evaluation. Lactic acid and succinic acid were major compounds in non-volatile organic acids detected in both $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE and hepatopanceras. The 5 compounds such as AMP, HxR, IMP, ATP and GMP were major in ATP related compounds of $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE, whereas 3 compounds including IMP, GMP and Hx in hepatopanceras. The content of total free amino acids in hepatopancreas was 5.6 times higher than in $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE. The major compounds in $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE were followed by methionine, lysine, arginine, valine, histidine, alanine, hydroxy proline, and glycine in that order, whereas methyl histidine, leucine, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, valine, threonine, taurine, isoleucine, and serine were followed in hepatopancreas. By adding 0.5%(w/w) hepatopancreas in $30\;^{\circ}Brix$ RSCCE, crab meat-like odor was kept high level by sensory evaluation.

Extracts of Acanthopanax koreanum Nakai were decreased as the ethanol concentration was increased, but eleutherosides were increased. Extracts were increased as the extraction time was prolonged. Compared to 15 hrs extraction, extract yield and eleutherosides for 5 hrs extraction were 90.6% and 96%, respectively. Yields of extract and eleutherosides were 6.5% and 75% at $100^{\circ}C$. The optimum extraction conditions were obtained from the samples of 4 years' tree harvested at September, which were water and 50% ethanol as solvents, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs extraction. Soluble solids, minerals, free sugars, free acids, free amino acids and total eleutherosides in the extract of Acanthopanax koreanum were $48.2{\sim}47.4%$, $4.5{\sim}5.3%$, 11.2711.80%, $3.02{\sim}3.18%$, 185.33 mg/100 $g{\sim}$ 348.14 mg/100 g and 990.84 mg/100 $g{\sim}$l,416.10 mg/100 g, respectively. The extract was viscous and yellowish brown liquid.

Samjangs (Korean-style mixture of soybean paste) were prepared using magjang, traditional doenjang (Korean style soybean paste), and mixture of traditional doenjang and magjang (a kind of Korean style soybean paste) as a main composition. Charateristics including volatile compounds were investigated. Total sugar in samjang by using magjang was higher than that of other treatment while reducing sugar of the mixed treatment was high. Glutamic acid $(230.6{\sim}310.9\;mg/100\;g)$ was highest among free amino acids. Hunter color values of samjang with magjang was lower than those of others. Volatitle flavor components of smajang were identified with GC and GC-MSD. Fifty four components including 11 alcohols, 7 esters, 13 acids, 3 aldehydes, 4 alkanes, 4 phenols, 3 pyrazine and others were found in samjangs. Ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester, 3-methyl butanoic acid, 2,4-hexadienoic acid and acetic acid might be major volatile components considering of high peak area. Pentanoic acid methyl ester and 4-methoxy-2-buten-1-ol were higher than other components in samjang with magjang while 2-methyl-1-propanol, butanoic acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid were in samjang with traditional doenjang and ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester and 2,4-hexadienoic acid were in the mixed treatment.
