Growth responses in lactate media containing various amounts of glucose showed that the preincubation with larger amounts of glucose is inhibitory for the following growth and metabolism of lactate. The organism produces predominantly lactate in the glucose medium. However, volatile fatty acid productions increase when the initial concentrations of glucose become low.

The oxidative degradation of the anthocyanin is accelerated in the presence of chlorogenic acid which occurs in eggplant, and a mode of the action stimulating the degradation was discussed.In addition, an evidence was given that the existence of ascrobic acid in the enzymatic system retards the loss of the pigment, due to a coupled reaction, which is of well-known on the other o-dihydroxy phenols.

Ultracentrifugation and disc-electrophoresis of freeze-stored 11S protein solution after removing insoluble components revealed that new components which may be aggregates or associates of the 11S component were formed. When concentrated and stored at 5°C, disc-electrophoresis of 11S component showed that associates were formed. Mercaptoethanol could dissolve the insoluble protein and also convert the associates to the original 11S component. NEM–11S was not insolubilized by frozen storage at −5°C or storage at 5°C after being concentrated. From these facts it can be concluded that denaturation of soybean protein by freezing may be caused by intermolecular reactions through S-S bonds as a result of concentration by freezing.
