The allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts from Trifolium repens were studied. Aqueous extracts of leaves, stems, roots and flowers of T. repens strongly inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of Zoysia japonica. In general, the higher concentration of the extracts showed the more great inhibition effect. The phenolic compounds extracted from T repens were analysed and identified using gas chromatography. 14 phenolic compounds were isolated from the leaves, stems, roots and flowers: caffeic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, 2,5 dihydroxy benzoic acid, syringic acid, 2-hydroxy cinnamic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, phloroglucinol and phanylacetic acid. The seed germination and relative growth ratio of Z. japonica by 14 phenolic compounds were inhibited in whole treatment. Stronger growth inhibitor were benzoic acid, salicylic acid and trans-cinnamic acid. From these results it is suggested that the phenolic compounds from T. repens seemed to be responsible for the allelopathic potential.

In this study, the degree of rancidity and trans fatty acids formation was assessed in Soybean oil(SBO), Corn germ oil (CGO), Canola oil(CNO) and Olive oil(OLO). All samples treated under various conditions were analyzed in order to determine their physicochemical characteristics(RI: Refractive index, Tocopherol, AV: Acid Value, IV: Iodine Value) and total trans fatty acid contents via GC. The results were as follows: The AV of corn germ oil was the highest (0.49$\pm$0.01 and 0.72$\pm$0.04 respectively) among the 4 kinds of oils at $170{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and $210{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The IV of olive oil was the lowest(88.7$\pm$0.6 and 89.2$\pm$0.5) among the 4 kinds of oils at $170{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and $210{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The trans fatty acid contents of the soybean oil, corn germ oil, canola oil and olive oil, respectively(in g/100) increased from 0.41, 0.60, 0.44 and 0.11 prior to heating to 0.84, 1.36, 0.94 and 0.81 after 7 hours. Catechin and BHT reduced trans fatty acid formation by 0.5-15.5% under all treatment conditions. In particular, Catechin exerted a more profound inhibitory effect on trans fatty acids formation than that did BHT.

The acid response of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BBMN68 has been studied in our previous study. The fab gene, which is supposed to be involved in membrane fatty acid biosynthesis, was demonstrated to be induced in acid response. In order to investigate the relationship between acid response and cell membrane fatty acid composition, the acid adaptation of BBMN68 was assessed and the membrane fatty acid composition at different adaptation conditions was identified. Indeed, the fatty acid composition was influenced by acid adaptation. Our results showed that the effective acid adaptations were accompanied with decrease in the unsaturated to saturated fatty acids ratio (UFA/SFA) and increase in cyclopropane fatty acid (CFA) content, which corresponded to previous studies. Moreover, both effective and non-effective acid adaptation conditions resulted in decrease in the C_18:1 cis-9/C_18:1 trans-9 ratio, indicating that the C_18:1 cis-9/C_18:1 trans-9 ratio is associated with acid tolerance response but not with acid adaptation response. Taken together, this study indicated that the UFA/SFA and CFA content of BBMN68 were involved in acid adaptation and the C_18:1 cis-9/C_18:1 trans-9 ratio was involved in acid tolerance response.

This study investigated the effect of waxy barley on the incorporation trans fat (tFA) into plasma lipid and lipid profile through 6 weeks trial. 39 healthy volunteers were divided into 2 groups and fed waxy barley bread (WBG) or wheat bread (WG) containing equivalent amounts of tFA (elaidic acid rich, 3.75 g/day), respectively. Plasma lipid profiles and fatty acid composition at 0, 2, 4, 6 weeks after a respective bread were studied. Plasma lipid was extracted by the method of Folch, esterified by acid transmethylation and analyzed by gas chromatography. The fatty acid composition reflected the fatty acid proportion of the test fat. However, consumption of waxy barley bread with tFA for 6 weeks affected plasma fatty acid composition including tFA. Incorporation of tFA into plasma lipid was significantly lowered compared to WBG than in WG after 6 weeks of consumption. Furthermore, saturated fatty acids such as C16:0 and C18:0 levels were also significantly lowered in WBG than in WG. Furthermore, plasma total cholesterol level and TG/HDL-cholesterol ratio were also significantly lowered in WBG compared to WG at 2, 4 and 6 weeks. These results suggest that waxy barley bread with high $\beta$-glucan lowered plasma trans, saturated fatty acid and total cholesterol levels though the inhibition of lipid absorption.

This study was conducted to investigate the fat content, fatty acid composition, trans fatty acid content, and acid value of twenty types of fried chickens purchased in local markets in Korea. The fat was extracted from the fried chickens and analyzed by the folch method, which revealed that the content ranged from 4.94% to 18.06%. The major fatty acids in the fried chickens were oleic acid ($29.78{\sim}67.85%$), linoleic acid ($8.42{\sim}39.54%$), and palmitic acid ($10.67{\sim}25.43%$). Twenty types of fried chickens contained less than 0.1 g of trans fatty acid per 100 g of chicken, while the fatty acid value ranged from $0.86{\sim}2.65$, which is lower than the KFDA criteria.

The acid value of the oil extracted from the three kinds of 15 fried foods ranged from 0.89 to 3.92, the peroxide value ranged 10.0~57.14 meg/kg. Among the samples, popcorn chicken contained the highest crude fat content, showing $6.64{\pm}0.26(%)$, while the french-fries showed $2.87{\pm}0.31(%)$, which was the lowest. The content of the trans fatty acid per 100 g of the foods were; the fried foods: 0.02~0.06 g. The french-fries contained the lowest saturated fatty acid per 100 g of the foods, showing 0.41~1.55 g, while the popcorn chicken showed the highest content, 1.16~3.43 g. The fried foods contained the highest linoleic acid content. Further, fried foods exhibited safe levels of trans fat content. The "School Zone", which sells snacks, candies, chocolates flow, was not detected in the saccharin. Cookies, candies, chocolate was not detected in the tar colors. Aerobic plate count were ranged from 0~4,700 cfu/g in cookies, Salmonella test came out negative.

In this study, we determined lipid content, total fatty acid composition, trans fatty acid(tFA) content, and acid value of twenty black-bean-sauce noodles collected in Seoul city area. Total lipid contents of twenty samples were determined to be 3.33~9.23% on wet base. Total unsaturated fatty acids were from 47.83% to 83.18%(mainly oleic and linoleic acid). Total saturated fatty acids ranged from 16.06% to 51.48%. Besides, tFA contents in total lipid of samples were ranged from 0.38% to 1.39%, equivalent to 20 to 80mg per 100g of black-bean-sauce noodles. Acid values of lipids extracted from samples ranged from 0.56 to 2.88.
