    The object of the research in 1990 is to investigate the consciousness of the respondents about their future life design, then to grasp their activities and lifestyle through the time allocation survey, and finally to clarify the discrepancy between their consciousness and their present activities, from the viewpoint that the present activities/lifestyle influence those of the future. The respondents in the survey are 260 who live in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The results as follows :
    (1) In comparison with the past surveys, both husbands and wives spend shorter time on housework and more time on social/cultural activities, particularly on TV watching.
    (2) In spite of the fact that they show interests in the life design of their aged life, their time allocation hardly reflects them.
    (3) There evidently remains the conventional lifestyle based on the role separation between men and women. This tendency is presumed to remain in their future life.

    The survey of the daily clothes of 708 people, from ages 70 to 95, living in Ome City, Tokyo, was conducted from May through August, 1989. We investigated the sorts of daily clothes worn on the day surveyed and the details of each garment.
    The results were as follows :
    (1) The most typical ensemble of men's upper garments consisted of an undershirt, shirt and blazer or jacket while the lower one consisted of briefs or underpants, long underwear and trousers.
    (2) We found more variety of clothes worn by women than those by men; the typical women's ensemble of upper garments consisted of an undershirt and a blouse and sweater with three-quarter sleeves that were button closing in front. The lower garments were mainly briefs, short or long underwear and trousers or a skirt. Trousers were preferred by elder women, compared to younger women.
    (3) Man-made fibers were often used for the outer wear of those surveyed.
    (4) An estimation of the thermal insulation and weight of the garments indicated that the elderly people surveyed wore more clothing than younger people.

    Problems about aging and death are very important, especially in the aging society. We examined those problems from the point of view of how middle-aged couples treat aging and death of their parents focusing on the relationship between their own parents and them. We investigated perception of changes in the parent-child relationship and influence on the emotional tie as the result of death of a parent, and compared the difference of treatment of their parents between sons and daughters. Moreover, we explored the change of role definition in their parents and role expectation to their children. Parents of students in a high school and a junior high school were investigated. The 269 middle-aged couples were selected on condition that both of them had at least one parent alive and their parents were over 60 years old.
    The results are summarized as follows :
    Sons recognized less changes in their parent's life after death of their spouse than daughters. About 70% of daughters and 60% of sons were more worried about the health and life of their parents than before, while neither of them actually took care of their parents. Concerning the emotional tie, daughters did not necessarily take care of their parents more than sons, which was different from our hypothesis. There was no difference between a child having both parents alive and a child losing one parent. This seems to be related to changes in attitudes toward co-residence with a married child, remarriage, the type of care, living in institution and the necessity for a will.

    The objective of this experiment was to examine the antigenicities of higher molecular fraction. (HMF) formed from α-lactalbumin. (α-La) digested with pepsin. The antigenicity was determined by comparison with the reactivities of anti HMF serum and anti α-La serum with peptides obtained by α-La treated with cyanogen bromide.
    The peptides obtained by the severance at the position of methionine residue and the reduction of disulfide bonds in the primary structure of α-La strongly reacted with anti HMF serum, but the reactivities of anti α-La serum with their peptides were low. Further, it was suggested that a part of antigenic determinant of HMF existed in peptide 1-90 and 91-123 from α-La. These results indicate that the antigenic dereminants of HMF depend upon primary structure of its molecule.

    The Enterobacter cloacae GAO arisen from plant and E. cloacae IAM 12349, Escherichia coli JAM 12119 arisen from intestine can be judged by simple methods.
    The growth of Euterobacter cloacae GAO (abbreviated hereafter as GAO) was stimulated two and three times in optical density by addition of apple juice and casamino acid, respectively.
    Cellobiose and xylose were utilized best as carbon sources by GAO, although the latter was slightly utilized by E. cloacae IAM 12349 (abbreviated hereafter as IAM 12349).
    GAO grew in a wide range of pH 4-10, but E. coli IAM 12119 (abbreviated hereafter as E. coli) failed below pH 7 and above pH 10.
    GAO proved positive in esculin hydrolysis test, while both IAM 12349 and E. coli proved negative. Their difference was clearly observed.

    A crude drugs-oligo-jam was prepared using 4 kinds of fruity crude drugs (Taisoo, Kukoshi, Sansyuyu and Ryuugan-niku) and fructo-oligosaccharide, and product characteristics such as preservability, sensory taste etc. were mutually discussed.
    (1) The oligo-jam was cooked rapidly in the pH range of 4.0 to 4.2 and heated quickly in order to maintain the stability of oligosaccharide, and was kept in cold storage at 5 to 10°C.
    (2) The content of oligosaccharide in Taisoo jam was 43% for the one using powder oligosaccharide, and 26.4% for liquid oligosaccharide.
    (3) The content of reducing sugar in oligo-jam in general increased during storage. In particular, with Sansyuyu jam, change of the amount of reducing sugar during storage of time was remarkable. It was considered to be due to acceleration of hydrolysis of oligosaccharide.
    (4) The oligo-jam was shown to be free from contamination by the aerobic bacteria, coliform group and mold for the periods up to 4 months.
    (5) The oligo-jam has been shown that the time change of the blood glucose level after its oral intake was lower than that of the sucrose jam.
    (6) As for sensory taste, Taisoo and Kukosi-oligo-jam showed a high palatability, indicating no notable difference from that of sucrose jam the control, but the sucrose jam was preferred to Sansyuyu-jam.

    Viscoelasticity of “Dango, ” prepared from a ternary mixture of water and glutinous and nonglutinous rice powders milled to a variety of sizes, was examined by means of the creep measurements. The data obtained were analyzed by use of the so-called “simplex lattice designs of Scheffe” so as to clarify the compositional interactions in “Dango”.
    The amount of water in the mixture played a significant role in the viscoelastic properties of “Dango”. The influence of the amount of non-glutinous rice powder in the mixture appeared in the viscoelastic properties more than that of glutinous one.
    It seemed that the viscoelasticity of “Dango” might be described by the Voigt bodies in a mechanical model. From the view point of the strains in the Voigt bodies and the total model, an offset effect on the interactions between non-glutinous rice powder and water appeared, while an extensive synergistic effect could be identified with the two components of glutinous rice powder and water in the mixture.
    The viscoelasticity of “Dango” was notably depended on the mixing ratio of each components, when the fine powders more than 200 mesh were employed for preparing the mixture.

    The aim of this study is to estimate the difference of the palatability of cooked polish rice and germ rice. The estimation is based on both the physicochemical characteristics such as color of surface, texture, gelatinization and flavor, and the result of sensory test.
    The results were as follows :
    (1) The surface color of the germ rice showed deep yellow color, and the evaluation of the appearance was lower.
    (2) The viscosity of the germ rice was a little lower than that of the polished rice. Compared with the rice cooked with the same amount of water, the hardness of germ rice was higher than that of the polished rice.
    (3) The cooked germ rice had more flavor than the cooked polish rice, and the vapor of the germ rice contained more toluene, hexanal, heptanal and l-hexanol than that of the polished rice.
    (4) The result of the sensory test showed that the total quality of the freshly cooked germ rice and that of the polished rice were about the same. But after l-hr storage, the quality of the polished rice was higher than that of the germ rice.

    The present experiment aimed to know whether thermophysiological responses varied between two kinds of clothing conditions of wearing hat or no hat in sedentary and lightly exercising women under warm and radiant environments. Tympanic and rectal temperatures increased to smaller extent in hat wearing conditions under the influences of gradual increase of ambient temperature 28 to 35°C and radiant heat gain from two artificial sunshine lamps (400 W × 2). Sweat onset time was also significantly delayed in hat wearing conditions. The rear surface temperature in the head hair was significantly lower in hat wearing conditions. These different responses in tympanic temperature between hat and not hat wearing conditions might be partly explained by the different amounts of counter-current heat exchange between venous blood flowing from head surface through the cranium into the brain and arterial blood ascending to the hypothalamus.
