    Sodium carboxymethylstarch (Na-CMS) is permitted for the addition to foods below 2 per cent in our country, and it is often used as stabilizer in ice cream, but there is few reports on the determination of Na-CMS in foods, therefore we have studied on the determination of Na-CMS in ice cream.
    Na-CMS in ice cream was precipitated together with protein by addition of a mixture of hydrochloric acid and methyl alcohol (1: 5), the precipitate was dissolved in 0.1N scdium hydroxide solution and protein was digested with protease at 40°C after the pH of the soiution was adjusted to 7.5, and CMS was precipitated as copper compound from the digested solution. The copper compond was dissolved in 10% ammonium hydroxide solution, and the optical density of the colored solution which was produced with 0.1% anthrone in sulfuric acid, was measured at 625mμ.
    Na-CMS which was added together with sodium arginate in ice cream was determined as described above after sodium arginate was removed as insoluble free acid.
    When the mixed solution of Na-CMS and sodium arginate was heated in a water bath after acidified with sulfuric acid (pH 1.0-1.5), sodium arginate converted to insoluble free acid, whereas Na-CMS dissolved clearly.

    The purpose of this investigation is to determine a small amount of DHA in foods by DC-, and AC-polarographies. And the results obtained are as follows:
    DC-Polarography: DHA undergoes one electron reduction with the half-wave reduction potential of -1.510V (vs SCE) at pH 6.0, in a electlytic solution of 0.1M Me4NBr and 40% EtOH.
    The limiting currents of DHA are proportional to square roots of the heights of mercury reservoir and the temperature coefficient from 15°C through 35°C is 2.0% per degree. These facts lead to the conclusion that the limiting current of DHA is the diffusion current.
    DC-, and AC-Polarographies: The heights of each waves are proportional to the concentration of DHA in the range of 10-4M to 6×10-3M and can be used for quantitative analysis.
    This method is applied to some honey extract, contained the interfering substances for other analytical methods such as colorimetry and ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and good results are obtained.

    Dehydroacetic acid (DHA) in foodstuffs has been determined by colorimetry with salicylaldehyde. But this reaction was interfered with levurinic acid and pyruvic acid.
    It has been already known that titanic chloride (TiCl3) is used as chromogenic reagent of DHA in paper chromatography.
    The present report deals with the application of this color reaction to quantitative determination of DHA in foodstuffs.
    Aqueous sohition containing 0.1-1.0mg of DHA was transfered into a 10ml flask added 1ml of 1% TiCl3-hydrochloric acid solution, and diluted to the mark with water, and the resulting solution was mixed thoroughly. The absorbance of reaction mixture was determined at 390mμ.

    The changes of enterococcus group in each manufacturing process of milk powder were investigated.
    Enterococci were usually found in raw milk, but were not found in milk immediately after U.H.T. pasteurization. However, they were detected again in concentrated milk and spray-dried milk powder. It is suggested that the presence of enterococci in milk powder is not originated from raw milk, but it is due to recontamination after pasteurization.
    From raw milk, Str. faecalis, Str. faecalis var. liquefaciens, Str. faecium and unclassified were isolated, whereas only Str. faecium were isolated from concentrated milk and milk powder.
    When 150 strains of three species of enterococcus group originated from raw milk and milk products were cultured at 50°C, only Str. faecium could grown.

    The authors examined trichloracetic acid extract of cod and Alaska pollack meat as to the substances which might interfere the color reaction of formaldehyde with acetylacetone and found no appreciable disturbance during the course of the determination.
    This method, originally proposed by Nash in 1953, was then applied to the examination of formaldehyde content of the frozen meat of cod and Alaska pollack. The amount of formaldehyde in back muscle of cod was in a range between 2 and 5mg% and in Alaska pollack, 3.7 to 5.7mg%, respectively. However, the formaldehyde content in the back muscle of these fishes was observed lower than that of skin or dark muscle portion.
    No remarkable change was noticed in the amount of formaldehyde in these fishes during cold storage at -20°C for six months. But, a slight increase in the formaldehyde content was shown in the sample of cod muscle after four weeks' storage at -5°C, which had been kept at -20°C for five months prior to store at -5°C.
    A decrease in the amount of formaldehyde was indicated in cod meat when the samples reached a stage of incipient spoilage under a temperature of 16°C and 3°C.
    The authors conclude that formaldehyde occurs spontaneously in the tissues of cod and Alaska pollack.

    Related bacteria to Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from night soli in Japan. Some of them were identified with strains isolated from sea water and fish samples by former investigators. The similarities were observed among them in most biological properties. This finding supports a previous hypothesis about the biocycle of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
    Recently, pathogenic agents were isolated from the flasherie of the silkworm and they were also regarded as related bacteria to Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

    Samples of 14 brands, including commercial household margarine, butter and bakery margarine, were maintained at 5°C and 25°C for 12 months, and the content of vitamin A and β-carotene were measured every month, together with measurement of peroxide value (P.O.V.) and acid value (A.V.) and color observations.
    1) Mean values of residual vitamin A after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were 98.7, 96.3, 94.2 and 92.2%, respectively, when stored at 5°C and 92.9, 86.2, 80.5 and 71.5% when stored at 25°C. Mean values of residual β-carotene were 97.7, 95.0, 89.7 and 78.5% when stored at 5°C, and 91.5, 81.7, 68.0 and 57.2% when stored at 25°C and these results indicate that β-carotene is slightly less stable.
    2) Presence of milk products gives better effect on the preservation of vitamin A and β-carotene. β-Carotene in bakery margarine, which did not contain any milk products, was found to destroy quickly.
    3) Presence of metals and large content of water gave adverse effect on the retention of vitamin A and this effect was especially marked when margarine was stored at 25°C.
    4) Acorrelation existed between the increasing order of P.O.V. and order of residual rate of vitamin A and β-carotene, but there seemed to be no special correlation between A.V. and residual rates.
    5) Artificial colorings seemed to be more stable and there was virtually no color fading at low temperatures.

    When the fermented milk is diluted, as is done in the manufacturing process, citric acid is generally used to supplement the diluted sour taste. The amount of citric acid to be added increases in proportion to the magnitude of dilution.
    The effect of citric acid on the maintenance of living Lactobacilli in the fermented milk was studied in detaiL Addition of citric acid more than 0.5 per cent caused a great reduction in number of living bacilii, indicating the dilution up to five times preferable.

    The conditions which promote the acid production in the milk during the growth of Lactobacilli were studies.
    The final acidity produced in the milk increased with the prolonged time of incubation within 72hrs. A supply of yeast extract at a concentration of 1 per cent enhanced markedly the growth of the bacilli and acid production in the milk. An associative growth with Str. lactis had a stimulatory effect on the acid production in the milk.

    8157 strains which showed growth with red or pink colonies on the desoxycholate agar were isolated from 108 samples of foods.
    These strains were identified by ordinary methods and classified by IMViC test and the results were summarized as follows.
    (1) The confidence of detecting ability of this medium seemed to be low in foods (56.4%).
    (2) 4649 out of the isolated strains belonged to coliform group organisms, but it was confirmed an ordinary dispersion between their appearance and the source.
    (3) 1537 out of the isolated strains (19.2%) were unclassified by IMViC system, and this problem will be discussed in future.

    There are a lot of papers concerning the lytic action of lysozyme on several strains. Most of these works, however, have been carried out in the biochemical field to clarify the mechanism of lysis by lysozyme, and in these studies, the test strains were generally used for the experiment after being killed by exposing to ultraviolet ray.
    Since the microorganisms contaminating food generally grow well on food, it seems reasonable that in a study of the lytic action of lysozyme on the microorganisms contaminating food, iiving test strains should be used.
    A new method for determining the lytic activity of lysozyme on living microorganisms has been developed in our laboratory. By using this method, the lytic action of egg white lysozyme on Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli was investigated.
    According to the results, the lytic activity of egg white lysozyme on these two strains was the highest when. they were treated with 0.05% lysozyme, and this activity became lower in the order treated with 0.025, 0.0125, 0.1, and 0.2% lysozyme.
    It was also fond that egg white lysozyme exhibited a fairly highem lytic activity on Escherichia coli as compared with that on Proteus vulgaris.
