Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima are rice cultivars distributed in Asia and Africa. There are several differences between these cultivars in morphological characteristics such as panicle structure and especially the secondary branch number of O. glaberrima is less than that of O. sativa. Generally, branch number of panicle related to a large vascular bundle number (VBN) among O. sativa and there is a wide variation of the VBN of the peduncle from where the bundles enter into the rachis branches. However, there is less information about VBN in O. glaberrima and also the relationship between VBN and branch numbers, the primary branch number (PBN) and secondary branch number (SBN). Additionally, the genetic factor for VBN and branch number in O. glaberrima is not completely exploited. In this study, phenotypic variation for VBN and panicle structure were investigated using a set of 40 $BC_3$ -derived from IRGC 104038 (O. glaberrima from Senegal) and 35 $BC_4$ -derived from IRGC103777 (O. glaberrima from Mali) introgression lines with a genetic background of japonica rice Taichung 65. Taichung 65 had 11.8 PBN, 16.0 SBN and 11.5 VBN, while IRGC 103777 had 12.0 PBN, 15.0 SBN and 15.3 VBN. The introgression lines derived from IRGC 104038 had range from 9.0 to 14.4 in the PBN, range from 9.6 to 33.5 in the SBN and range from 9.8 to 14.8 in the VBN. Additionally, the introgression lines derived from IRGC 103777 had range from 9.0 to 18.5 in the PBN, range from 10.3 to 39.0 in the SBN and range from 9.0 to 15.3 in the VBN. Among two set of introgression lines, there are significant correlation between VBN and PBN. Multiple introgression lines indicated higher PBN, SBN and VBN than Taichung 65 and these examined characteristics are supposedly controlled by quantitative traits loci. The genetic factor related to VBN and panicle architecture can be revealed using segregating population in future study.

The study was attempted to detemine the ratio of stomach and intestine to viscera gathered on catching vessels, the critical level of VBN content as a freshness quality of viscera of Alaska pollack for raw materials of Changran-jeotgal. It also examined the changes of VBN values, pH and viable tell counts during the fermentation. Then sensory evaluation of the fermented products, Changran-jeotgal, was done according to the freshness of raw materials used. The ratio of stomach and intestine to the gathered viscera on the vessel was about $72\%$, while that of round state of Alaska pollack was about $18\%$. There was no significant relationship in VBN content between fish muscle and viscera. It suggests that VBN content is not a reasonable freshness criteria in viscera but in fish muscle. However, if we use the VBN content as a freshness criteria of viscera for raw materials of Changran-jeotgal, less than $70mg\%$ of VBN value could be recommended. According to the experimental results, the product yields and sensory evaluation scores were no good not only for economical evaluation but also for consumption.

The Korean fresh pork loins in vacuum packaged were obtained from three different Korean export companies and investigated for meat color, TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and VBN(volatile basic nitrogen). The fresh pork loins were stored at 2$^{\circ}C$ for 50 days and analyzed with an interval of 5~10 days. The L* values of meat from the company II and III were relatively higher than those from the company I. The L* values of loins from the companies II and III were increased until 35 days of storage and decreased after that period. The TBARS values were increased as the storage time increased for meat from all companies. Although the TBARS values of all loins were similar at the beginning stage of storage, those from the companies II and III were higher than loins from the company I after 40 days of storage. There were no significant difference in VBN among loins from three companies during the storage.

The fellowing results are obtained by experiment on the variation of enzyme activity during pickling anchovy (Engraulis japenicus) in vinegar. 1) Protease activity increased during brine-salting. It decreased for a short time by tile addition of acetic acid and gradually changed at an invariable ratio during pickling. 2) Lipase activity decreased during brine salting but increased temporarily by the addition of vinegar, after this no fixed tendency could he observed during pickling whereas acid value abviously increased. 3) VBN (Volatile basic nitrogen) and NaCl content quickly increased during brine salting. During pickling VBN increased slowly while NaCl content scarcely varied. 4) The bacterial plate count decreased suddenly when the anchovy were placed in brine but it increased during brine salting and decreased again when anchovy were pickled and the number of count remained the same thereafter. 5) To maintain preservation effects, the acidity of the vinegar must be maintained more than $2\%$ in the muscle. 6) Based on this experimental condition, it transpires that 8 days of immersion In brine produces sufficient salt concentration in the muscles. From the results of VBN, acidity, amino nitrogen, lipase activity, and organoleptic tests, the quality of pickle was still preserved after 47 days and taste of the pickle seemed best on the thirty second day of the storage.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts on pH, meat color, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance), and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen). Two hundred broiler chickens were fed diets for five weeks containing 1% mulberry leaves extracts (T1), 2% mulberry leaves extracts (T2), 1% dandelion extracts (T3), and 2% dandelion extracts (T4). At the end of five weeks feeding experiment, broilers were slaughtered, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for five weeks. As storage time increased, the presence of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts resulted in decreased pH, and $L^*$ and increased TBARS, VBN, and $a^*$ value in all treatment groups (P<0.05). The pH value, TBARS, and VBN were significantly decreased by the supplementation of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts relative to the control (P<0.05). Therefore, mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts had the possibility to improve shelf life of chicken meat. Especially, T4 was significantly more effective in delay lipid oxidation compared to the control group. However, no significantly difference was found in pH, TBARS, and VBN among mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts treatment groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that compared to control group, supplementation of mulberry leaves and dandelion extracts were effective in decreasing pH, TBARS, and VBN and increasing $a^*$ value.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary activated carbon(0.9%) and sardine oil (0, 1, 2, 4%) on volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS), and fatty acid in meat sample of chicken. Broilers were randomly assigned to one of the file dietary treatments: 1) Control(commercial feed) 2) T1(commercial feed supplemented with 0.9% activated carbon) 3) T2(commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 1% sardine oil) 4) T3(commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 2% sardine oil) 4) T4(commercial feed with 0.9% activated carbon and 4% sardine oil). They were fed one of the experimental diets for five weeks and slaughtered. After that, the meat samples were stored over a period of 0, 1, 3, 7 and 10 days at 4${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$. The VBN of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods(p<0.05). Also, the VBN was not significantly between control and treatment group. In VBN of breast was higher compared with that of thigh. The TBARS of all treatments were significantly increased as storage period extended (p<0.05). The TBARS of control and thigh tended to be higher than that of treatments and breast. Oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid were major fatty acid in chicken meat. Saturated fatty acid decreased and unsaturated fatty acid increased of all treatments during storage. Oleic acid, EPA, DHA contents was higher in treatment group than the control.

This study was investigated the effects of supplementation diets with mulberry leaves powder on pH, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) heating loss, WHC (water holding capacity), and drip loss of chicken meat. One hundred sixty broiler were fed diets for five weeks containing 0% mulberry leaves powder (Control), 1% mulberry leaves powder (T1), 2% mulberry leaves powder (T2), and 3% mulberry leaves powder (T3). At the end of this experiment, broiler were slaughtered, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 d. As storage time increased, all treatment groups resulted in increased pH, TBARS, VBN and drip loss (p<0.05). The TBARS and VBN were significantly decreased by the supplementation of mulberry leaves powder compared to the control (p<0.05). T3 results in much better TBARS and VBN than other treatment groups. Especially, T3 was significantly (p<0.05) more effective in improving self life compared to other treatment groups. Heating loss and drip loss were no significantly different among treatment group. In conclusion, these data indicate that supplementation of 3% mulberry leaves powder were most effective in decreasing TBARS and VBN.

Aquatic raw materials easily undergo deteriorative changes, and thus it is very important to keep fish meats fresh during transport and processing. The $K_i$ value, biogenic amines, trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), which are reported fish freshness indices, were measured for 20 samples. The $K_i$ values were normally in the range of $7.8{\sim}43.6%$, except those for some fish including squid. The contents of biogenic amines were negligible, and a correlation (r=0.894) was found between the contents of TMA and VBN.

ATP related compounds, ammonia, VBN, pH and sensory quality of shrimps were determined to evaluate quality changes during iced and frozen storage. ATP related compounds were determined by HPLC, ammonia by ammonia ion specific electrode, VBN by micro-diffusion method, pH by pH meter, sensory quality by multiple comparison test with 30 panelists. K value of ice stored shrimps gradually increased to 20% for 8 days, and then increased more rapidly, whereas that of frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 7 months. Ammonia contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 6 days and then rapidly after 8 days storage, whereas that in frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 8 months. VBN contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 10 days and then rapidly after 12 days. VBN contents in frozen stored shrimps slightly increased for 6 months. Sensory scores of taste and color of shrimps marked lowered values after 6 days storage in ice, and after 6 and 7 months frozen storage, respectively. Sensory flavor scores of stored shrimps had significant correlations with K value, ammonia, pH and VBN. These results indicated that ammonia contents in stored shrimps, rapidly determined by an ammonia electrode, could be used as a quality index of shrimps.

The Microbiological, chemical and sensory analyses were carried to evaluate the quality of commercial salted and fermented seafoods and to establish a standardization. The results showed that amino nitrogen(AN) and volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) contents were appropriate in evaluating the quality of shrimp jeotkal. In the range of $150{\sim}300\;mg%\;and\;25{\sim}70\;mg%$, AN and VBN contents were highly correlated to sensory scores, respectively. In the case of squid jeotkal, pH and VBN contents were appropriate to evaluate quality. The coefficients of the correlation between pH and sensory evaluation was 0.84 and the sensory acceptability was high and above pH 6.0. In addition, the coefficients of the correlation between VBN contents and sensory evaluation was 0.95, and the sensory acceptability was high but below 30 mg%. In the case of shell-fish jeotkal, the coefficient of the correlation between VBN content and sensory evaluation was 0.94, and sensory acceptability was high but below 40 mg%.
