These segments were cultured for 2 weeks at 20°C under three different light intensities with 12L/12D. In M. myagroides cultured at 2000-2800lx, rhizoids regenerated from segments of the first leaf and the upper portion of the stem. More-over, both rhizoids and adventitious branches regenerated from segments of the lower portion of the stem. In S. horneri cultured at 2000-2800lx, rhizoids regenerated from segments of the upper portion of the stem, while adventitious branches regenerated from segments of rhizoids. Furthermore, both rhizoids and adventitious branches regenerated from segments of the first leaf and the lower portion of the stem. These results indicate that segments of the upper and lower portion of the stem of M. myagroides and a series of four segments of S. horneri have totipotency.

Comparison of β-buffer capacities among commercially available seasoning extracts, their deproteinized samples, and reconstructed amino acid solutions on the basis of their analytical data led us the following conclustions. Area size and maximum pH of each peak shown in a β-buffer curve suggested the degree of acid hydrolysis, major amino acid, and extent of fullness and extention in taste given by several oligopeptides and water soluble proteins. These findings suggest that β-buffer capacity reflects the chemical composition of electrolytes and the taste quality of the extract.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"21 1","pages":"177-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82156569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The constituent of the extractive nitrogenous compounds was markedly different depending on the species. The ammonia content in muscle varied widely depending on the kind of squid. The highest value, 756mg-N/100g, was found in muchi-ika Mastigoteuthis sp., followed by yurei-ika Chiroteuthis imperator and yatsude-ika Octopoteuthis sp., which can be called true ammoniaic squid. In addition to ammonia, large amounts of TMA-N and DMA-N were deter-mined in several kinds of squid such as hotaru-ika-modoki Enoploteuthis chunu, suji-ika Eucleo-teuthis luminosa, and muchi-ika. In very large squid, giant squid Architeuthis japonica and nyudo-ika Moroteuthis robusta, extremely high moisture of around 90% was found and a very high level of ammonia was also detected. It is confirmed that the ammonia in squid muscle exists as ammonium chloride, because the concentration of chloride ion was almost equivalent to that of ammonium ion in all spec-imens analyzed. Composition and concentration of free amino acids varied also depending on the species. Generally, the concentration of free amino acids in oceanic squid was lower than that in normal squid. Considering the chemical characteristics of ammoniaic squid, it may be difficult to use them as human food.","PeriodicalId":9361,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries","volume":"27 1","pages":"2383-2390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73642730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
