The effect of freezing and duration of storage of frozen soil on free amino acids and sugars was evaluated. Freezing caused a marked increase in the total amount of free amino acids and sugars extracted. The level of free amino acids and sugars, in frozen soil, remained fairly constant up to a storage period of 6 weeks, after which a prominent decrease occurred. Essentially there was no difference between single freeze-thaw and multiple freeze-thaw cycles. In general, soil respiration and dehydrogenase activity paralleled the level of extractable free amino acids and sugars.

Abstract Peanuts from a commercial source were segregated into specific seed sizes and placed in storage conditions approximating commercial conditions to determine the amino acid changes taking place during storage within various size seeds. Concentrations of the isolated free amino acid fractions significantly decreased with seed size except for phenylalanine which significantly increased with seed size. Significant changes also occurred in the free amino acid fractions across storage periods up to nine months in duration. These results are the first to document a change in amino acids during the storage of peanuts.

The optimal harvest season of Japanese green tea in Japan is judged by individual farmers based on their experiences. To confirm that optimal season, it requires a lot of efforts such as sampling of tea flushes by plucking, chemical component measuring by near-infrared spectroscopic analysis. Thus, an efficient method to determine the optimal season which can cover a wide area at once is considered highly helpful for farmers. This research measured normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of tea flushes by a multi-spectrum sensor mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle. At the same time, chemical component of tea flushes was measured to compare with the result of NDVI. The result showed that the value of NDVI for the optimal harvest season of tea-leaf is 0.6 to 0.7. The result of chemical component measuring showed the increase of total free amino acids and reduction of total free sugars while tea-leaf ripens. Therefore, there was a positive relation between the value of NDVI, and total free amino acids and total free sugars. It indicates a high possibility to predict the optimal harvest season of tea flushes by NDVI.

This study evaluated the effects of the canning process and different filling media on the free amino acid and biogenic amine contents of eels. The main free amino acids were histidine, taurine and arginine, which constituted 72% of the free amino acids in raw eels. All steps in the canning process significantly altered the free amino acid content of eels, relative to raw samples. The changes were influenced by the step, the composition of the frying or filling medium and the storage time. The biogenic amine contents were very low in all samples. Histamine was not detected in either raw eels or canned eels. The highest values were obtained for 2-phenylethylamine. The step of the canning process, the composition of the frying or filling medium and storage time also determined the changes in the biogenic amine contents. The biogenic amines indices were low, indicating the good quality of canned eels.

The insect immune system exists to protect the host from pathogenic invaders and from other harmful insults. Upon bacterial infection insect haemolymph may lead to fatal consequences and it plays a most important role in transport and storage of nutrients, amino acids and free amino acids concentrations are marked changes for substrates by the immune system, these substrates are provide energy and precursors for the synthesis of new cells, effecter molecules, and protective molecule. We have been studied the certain biochemical changes in bacterial challenged Eri silkworm haemolymph at various time intervals. Results shows that the proteins and amino acids levels were significantly elevated and 18 individual free amino acids were found and that are quantitatively variation in the haemolymph after challenge with gram –ve and gram +ve bacteria when compared and control and sterile haemolymph. We may conclude that these were directly involved in the antimicrobial immune response of Eri silkworm innate immunityInt J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(2): 236-242 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i2.12453
