In this study, three kinds of Korean snake wine (50 V% alcohol extracts) were determined by amino acid analyzer and were discussed as follows. 1. Salmosa Ju and Nungsa Ju were composed of 22 free amino acids: cysteic acid, aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, cystine, valine, methionine, iso-leucine, allo-iso-leucine, leucine, nor-leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, ${\beta}-alanine$, lysine, arginine, histidine, trytophan. 2. Doksa Ju were composed of 21 free amino acids which were all same as above except missing histidine. 3. The free amino acid composition were almost identical in Doksa Ju, Salmosa Ju and Nungsa Ju quantitatively. 4. The contents of cysteic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine and lysine were relatively high, on the other hand, methionine, allo-iso-leucine, nor-leucine, and tryptophan were trace amount in every snake wine. 5. Eleven unknowns of ninhydrin positives were identified in the every snake wine. 6. The free amino acids in snake wines were various in kind as compared with in beer, Japanese sake and Korean Tack Ju. Especially cysteic acid, allo-iso-leucine, nor-leucine and ${\beta}-alanine$ in snake wines were missed in every cereal wine.

Free amino acid extracts of musculus brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits are analyzed to see the composition and the contents of free amino acids by thin layer chromatography and automatic amino acid analyzer. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits analyzed by thin layer chromatography have 6 kinds of free amino acids such as glycine, histidine, methionine, lysine, alanine and leucine, and the spots of glycine in chromatogram of meats of cattle, swine and goats and the ones of methionine in chromatogram of meats of rabbits are the largest and the most denes of all other ones. 2. Distribution curves of free amino acids in meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits showed significant differences, but differences on distribution curves of free amino acids between musculus-brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of the same tested animal are not significant. 3. Contents of free amino acids in meats of cattle, swine, goats and rabbits showed significant differences, but differences on contents of free amino acids between musculus brachiocephalicus and musculus glutaeus of the same tested animal are not significant.

Our previous study demonstrated that dietary taurine or glycine supplementation significantly lowered plasma and hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in rats fed a cholesterol-free diet. In the present study, the effect of long term dietary taurine or glycine supplementation, for the purpose of preventing and/or treating of hyperlipidemia and other known biological functions, on plasma and hepatic free amino acid concentrations and profiles were evaluated in rats. Three groups of male rats(110-130g) were fed a control diet(CD), taurine-supplemented diets(TSD ; CD+ 1.5% taurine) or glycine-supplemented diet(GSD ; CD+1.5% glycine) for 5 weeks. Plasma and hepatic free amino acid concentrations were determined by an automated amino acid analyzer based on ion-exchange chormatography. The feeding of TSD for 5 weeks yielded a 444% higher plasma taurine concentration , and the feeding GSD for the same period resulted in a 143% higher plasma glycine level in rats compared to those fed DB. Hepatic taurine concentration was significantly higher in rats fed TSD(145% increase) compared to the control rats. However, hepatic glycine concentration was not influenced by dietary glycine supplementation , which implies that the massive dose of glycine entering the body was more rapidly metabolized or excreted than taurein. Dietary taurine or glycine supplementation resulted in similar changes in plasma free amino acid concentrations, except in levels of taurine and glycine. Plasma levels of histidine, lysine, phenylalanine , alanine, proline, hydroxypoline, $\alpha$-aminogutyric acid, cystathionine and ethanolamine were significantly higher in rats fed TSD or GSD than those fed GD. Glycine supplementation did not change hepatic free amino acid concentrations as compared to CD. Concentrations of most hepatic free amino acids were not influenced by dietary taurine supplementation with the exception of significantly higher levels of asparate and tyrosine(56-63% increase) and lower levels of histidine and glutamate(33-34% decrease) compared to the control rats. These results suggest long-term dietary taurine or glycine supplementation resulted in increases in most plasma free amino acid levels, but did not cause a characteristic change in plasma aminogram pattern compared to rats fed CD.

Changes of free amino acids as taste compounds during the fermentation of oyster were analyzed by amino acid autoanalyzer. In fresh oyster, taurine, glutamic acid and alanine were abundant amino acids and the amounts of taurine (731mg%, on moisture and salt free base), glutamic acid (365mg%) and alanine (345.4mg% ) were 63.8% of the total free amino acids. Cystine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, leucine and histidine were detected as less abundant free amino acids and the amount of those amino. acids ranged from 5. 5mg% (cystine) to 32.9mg% (histidine). The free amino acids analyzed in this experiment were not changed in composition hut changed in amounts during 124 days of fermentation. Aspartic acid and leucine were continually increased during 124 days of fermentation. Lysine, histidine, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, tyrosine and phenyalanine were increased unlit 68 days of fermentation and than decreased gradually. The increase of arginine, glycine, valine and isoleucine were fluctuated. Taurine were dramatically decreased during the 124 days of fermentation. It is believed that glutamic acid, alanine, lecuine, serine, Iysine and threonine play an important role as taste compounds in fermented oyster because those amino acids were most abundant in fermented oyster.

The current study was carried out to investigate the impact of extraction conditions on the free amino acid level and type in beef longissimus muscle. The sample blocks were chiller aged for 1 d and 7 d at $4^{\circ}C$. There are three homogenization speeds (11,000, 19,000 and 24,000 rpm) for bigger and two speeds (11,000 and 13,000 rpm) for smaller homogenizer's dispersing tools were used for evaluation. Results showed that chiller ageing greatly (p<0.05) increased extractable free amino acids, except cystine. Homogenization with the bigger dispersing tool at 24,000 rpm resulted in the highest free amino acid levels for both 1 and 7 d samples. Significant differences (p<0.05) in the mean values of most amino acids due to the effect of speed and interactions between ageing times. However, the speed effect and interaction between ageing with homogenization speed were not significant (p>0.05) for most of the amino acids except valine and isoleucine when using the smaller dispensing tools. The current data indicated that a standardized method for free amino acid types and levels of aged beef samples. In addition, the results also suggested that utilization of a big dispensing tool at high homogenization speed is a better condition for releasing free amino acid contents in beef samples.

This study was performed to provide the optimal conditions of quantitative analysis for free amino acid in fermented protein foods. The water extractable free amino acid from dairy fermented foods was extracted effectively at $75^{\circ}C$ for 40 min., while it were extracted from fermented soy products at $40^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. A close results of free amino acid content to those from amino acid analyzer were obtained using OPDA method with lysine standard after deproteinizing with 1% picric acid. 95% ethanol used as a deproteinizing reagent could give a comparable results to those from picric acid treatment in determining free amino acid content using OPDA method. Therefore, ethanol treatment was more recommendable than picric acid treatment which has some troubles in removing excess picric acid through Dowex resin column. The most desirable precipitation method for free amino acid determination using TNBS method was 95% ethanol treatment among the various deproteinizing procedure. The copper salt method was not suitable owing to its lacking reproducibility and pronounced discrepancy in determining free amino acid.

Quantification of endogenous amino acid loss at the terminal ileum is an essential means for calculation of the true amino acid digestibility of a feedstuff. Since nitrogen appeared in the determined diet or not could shift the results very much, also, none of digestibility markers could be recovered with 100% rate at the terminal ileum, the objectives of the present study were: (1) to determine endogenous amino acid losses when fed either a casein diet or a protein-free diet and (2) to examine the reliability of chromic oxide or acid insoluble ash in the protein-free diet. Six ileal-cannulated pigs ($65{\pm}1.85 kg$ BW) with a simple T-cannula in the terminal ileum were used in a replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin square designed trial, after allowed a 14 d recuperation period. Each test period ran for 12 days comprised of a 10 d adjustment period and a 2 d collection period. The endogenous AA losses of His, Ile, Lys, Cys, Thr, Val, Trp, Asp, Glu, and Ser from pigs fed the casein diet were significantly higher than those of the protein-free diet (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in the amount of endogenous amino acid loss when determined with the different markers in the protein-free diet (p>0.05). These data suggest that endogenous amino acid loss could be underestimated when a protein-free diet is used. A direct effect of dietary peptides on the endogenous amino acid loss was found when the casein diet was fed. Our results also indicate that acid insoluble ash can be used as an inert marker as an alternative to chromic oxide when measuring endogenous amino acid loss.

This work was conducted to obtain a rapid, accurate, and precise procedure for free amino acids analysis in Doenjang with HPLC-OPA (high performance liquid chromatography using-phthalaldehyde) and AAA (automatic amino acid analyzer) methods. Different sample extraction procedures among water, 0.1 M perchloric acid, and 0.1% meta-phosphoric acid were also compared. The optimal extraction solvent was 0.1% meta-phosphoric acid for both the HPLC-OPA and AAA methods. Good recoveries for glycine and methionine were observed using the 0.1% meta-phosphoric acid extraction with HPLC-OPA method. Method precisions (% relative standard deviation) for the free amino acids ranged for 1.62% to 8.27%, in which the HPLC-OPA method with water extraction showed the lowest value at 1.62%. Inhibition rates of the free amino acids in Doenjang were greatest with an addition of NaCI at a 1% concentration.
