Abstract;Fatty acids, free amino acids and 5'-nucleotides were analyzed on some specimens of dried laver, Hoshi-nori, Porphyra yezoensis, which were harvested at Akkeshi in Hokkaido, supplied from different harvest months and were produced by sun drying at about 6.DEG.C. and by hot air drying at 38.DEG.C.. There were some differences in the contents of palmitic and icosapentaenoic acids between the sun and hot air drying Hoshi-nori. The free amino acid content increased with the progress of harvest month, especially in aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid and alanine. Of the hot air drying Hoshi-nori, aspartic acid and asparagine were high, and serine and glycine were low in their contents comparing to those of the sun drying one. Although 5'-AMP and 5'-GMP were analyzed in the both drying Hoshi-nori, 5'-IMP was detected only in the air drying ones. (author abst.)
