This study was conducted to investigate changes in the physicochemical properties (proximate compounds, reducing sugar, organic acid, ATP and related compounds, and free amino acid) of beachu kimchi (BK) with octopus, abalone, squid and webfoot octopus added during its storage at 4℃ for 35 days. The crude protein content of the seafood Kimchi, 1.98∼3.41%, was higher than that of the BK. The organic acid level did not significantly differ in the four kinds of seafood during their fermentation, and their malate and succinate contents decreased while their lactate content increased. The levels of the ATP and related compound substances of the hypoxanthine contents were high but decreased during their fermentation. However, 3.40 μmol/g of IMP was detected in the Kimchi with octopus added; 0.67 μmol/g in the Kimchi with abalone added; and 1.80 μmol/g in the Kimchi with squid added after they were fermented for 21 days, but the same were not detected in the BK. The taurine and γ-amino-n-butyric acid contents of the free amino acids in the seafood Kimchi were approximately two to 10 times and 1.5 to three times higher than in the BK, respectively.

To establish a new manufacturing process of low-salted fermented anchovy sauce, commercial fermented anchovy sauce with 23% NaCl was desalted using a spirit. The proximate composition, total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, Escherichia coli, and total and free amino acid contents were analyzed to evaluate the quality characteristics of commercial salted fermented anchovy sauce (CFAS) and low-salt fermented anchovy sauce by desalting processing (LFAS). The salinity of saltwater and fermented anchovy sauce decreased with an increase in the spirit added to 23% NaCl saltwater and 23% NaCl commercial fermented anchovy sauce. The total nitrogen and amino nitrogen contents were higher in LFAS than in CFAS. The major amino acids that were commonly found in CFAS and LFAS were glutamic acid, alanine, lysine and leucine. Basic data were provided for commodification research on low-salt fermented anchovy sauce, which is very important for the diet of humans.

Baechu kimchi without cuttlefish (control), baechu kimchi with cuttlefish (CK), cuttlefish baechu kimchi with yogurt (CK+Y), and cuttlefish baechu kimchi with vitamin C (CK+VC) were prepared, and the fermentation characteristics of the prepared kimchi samples were investigated during 28 days of fermentation at 4℃. The levels of moisture, crude lipid, and crude ash did not differ much among the samples, but the crude protein levels of CK, CK+Y, and CK+VC were greater than that of the control. The pH values of CK+Y and CK+VC slowly decreased compared with those of the control and CK during fermentation. The acidity increased sharply until 21 days then gradually increased thereafter. The total microbial counts achieved maximum levels at 21 days, and the kimchi to which yogurt and vitamin C were added showed values lower than that of the control. The number of Leuconostoc sp. in CK+Y and CK+VC was higher than that in the control. In our sensory evaluations, cuttlefish kimchi with yogurt or vitamin C scored highest in terms of texture, sour taste, ripened taste, and overall acceptability.

For developing calcium supplement from the harmful marine organism starfish, the physiochemical property of the powdered starfish skeletal plate and the hydrolysis condition of the starfish digestive enzyme were studied. The optimal hydrolysis condition of the starfish digestive enzymes was at 55℃ for 12 h. The bulk densities of the powdered starfish skeletal plates of Asterias amurensis and Asterina pectinifera were 1.1±0.0 and 1.2±0.0 g/cm3, respectively. As for the median size, the values were 10.738 and 11.799 μm, respectively. According to the added concentration of sodium polyacrylate, the dispersibility rate of the powdered starfish skeletal plate was shown to be 6h at 0.0%, 3 days at 0.1%, 20 days at 0.2%, and until 30 days at 0.4%. The elementary composition of the powdered starfish skeletal plates from A. amurensis and A. pectinifera mainly consisted of calcium, and it formed 98.95 and 98.52% of the powdered starfish skeletal plates, respectively. The results of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that they were present in the form of CaCO3. Based on these results, it is suggested that starfish skeletal plate can be utilized as a functional material for a calcium supplement.

This study was carried out to determine the contents of antioxidant activity of colored rice lines which derived from a mutant of MGI079 induced by MGI079 tissue culture in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The antioxidant activities were evaluated by assaying polyphenol, flavonoid, DPPH free radical and color values of colored rice lines, respectively. Among 8 lines including Heugnam of colored rice, the 70% ethanol extracts decreased in the order of MGI079-2-1>MGI079-2-6>MGI079-2-R,Heugnam>MGI079-1-R>MGI079-2-1>MGI079, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-1-6. The rice lines of highest polyphenolic compound was MGI079-2-6 and the next were Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-2-1, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079, MGI079-OP-R with the order of higher content. The flavonoid was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079, MGI079-1-1. The DPPH free radical was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079. For chromaticity, a negative correlation was exhibited between the color value and the 70% ethanol extracts, polyphenolic compound, flavonoid, DPPH free radical. The grain characters in brown rice of a mutant of MGI079 showed similar to that of a donor plant, MGI079. Whereas, chemical characteristics of brown rice in two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) were lower in amylose and lipid contents and were higher four times in zinc that of a donor plant, MGI079. Two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) showed relatively high antioxidative activity in every results of antioxidant activity tests.

The whitebacked planthopper (WBPH) is one of the most serious insect pests of rice. The nymphs and adults suck the phloem sap which causes reduced plant vigor, stunting, yellowing of leaves. We employed a mapping population composed of 113 doubled haploid lines (DHLs), derived from a cross between resistant cultivar ‘Cheongcheong’ and susceptible cultivar ‘Nagdong’, to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with WBPH resistance. The DH population was evaluated for resistance to WBPH using seed box screening test. The WBPH resistance of each lines or plants was estimated when susceptible check ‘Nagdong’ was killed using 1-9 scale according to Standard Evaluation System for Rice (IRRI, 1988). A linkage map was constructed with 119 polymorphic microsatellite markers using the Joinmap 4 software program to adjust for segregation distortion. Transgressive segregation was observed on WBPH resistance. Two significant QTLs conferring resistance to WBPH, qwbph6.1 and qwbph6.2, were detected in the regions of RM588-RM276 and RM527-RM528 on chromosome 6 with LOD scores of 3.7 and 2.4, respectively. They collectively explained 55% of phenotypic variation. These two QTLs have large effects on WBPH resistance and may be useful for establishment of marker assisted selection (MAS) in the rice breeding programs.

A population of 120 double-haploid lines derived from Samgang/Nagdong was used for analyzing the developmental behaviors of plant height and tiller number by conditional mapping via composite interval approaches at five growth stages of rice. The traits were normally distributed with transgressive segregations in both directions. A total of 4 QTLs associated with plant height were identified in 40th/initial, 50th/40th and 60th/50th periods, respectively. The qph7.1 was observed in 50th/40th and 60th/50th periods, with increasing effects from Samgang and Nagdong alleles, respectively. This indicated that an individual gene or genes at the same genomic region might have opposite genetic effects at various growth stages. Five QTLs associated with tiller number were identified in four stages except 60th/50th stage. Four of five increasing effects of QTLs were from Nagdong alleles. Six of nine QTLs for two traits were detected before 60 days. It was evident that the expression of QTLs for plant height and tiller number was more active at early stages than at maturity stage. Furthermore, QTLs identified at early stages showed opposite additive effects on plant height and tiller number. These results provided a possible genetic explanation for the negative correlation between two traits.
