Fatty acid-amino acid conjugates (FACs), first identified from beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua larvae (Alborn et al., 1997), have been found in noctuid as well as sphingid caterpillar oral secretions and especially volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)- L-glutamine, 17OH-volicitn] and its biochemical precursor, N-linolenoyl- L-glutamine, are known elicitors of induced volatile emissions in corn plants. We conducted FAC screening of 29 lepidopteran species and found FACs in 19 of these species (Yoshinaga & Mori et al., 2010). Thus, FACs are quite commonly synthesized through a broad range of lepidopteran caterpillars. From an evolutionary perspective, it is presumed that volicitin and the other FACs, although consequently unfavorable to the insect in the plant-herbivore interactions, are produced because they are essential part of the primary metabolism of the insects. In this context, we suggested that FACs in Spodoptera litura play an active role in nitrogen assimilation by regulating the amount of glutamine in the larval midgut (Yoshinaga & Mori et al., 2008). The benefits of the physiological function of FACs for the herbivores need to outweigh the costs caused by induction of plant defense
우유단백질과 검류 복합체의 첨가가 제조한 빵의 노화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 amylography, farinography, extensography를 통해 반죽의 물성 변화를 측정하고 냉동-해동을 3번 반복한 반죽으로 제조한 식빵의 수분함량과 경도를 만든 당일과 에서 4일간 저장 후 측정하여 저장기간에 따른 변화를 비교함으로써 우유단백질과 검류 복합체가 식빵의 노화정도를 분석하였다. 우유단백질과 검류를 첨가할 경우 밀가루의 호화 개시온도
