The effects of dietary hemoglobin and hem-iron from bovine blood on the recovery from iron deficient status were investigated by weanling female Sprague-Dawley strain rats (3 weeks old). The anemic rats were made by feeding on iron deficient diet for 29 days.
Experimental groups were fed on the hemoglobin (Fe, 10 ppm) or hem-iron (Fe, 10 or 20 ppm) diets, and were compared with control group fed on iron deficient diet. Metabolic studies were performed during 20 days thereafter. The recovery process from anemia was observed by the increase of hemoglobin and hematocrit during the last 13 days.
The results are follows : The values of hemoglobin and hematocrit of iron deficiency anemia rats recovered significantly by feeding the hemoglobin or hem-iron diets.
These results suggest that the hemoglobin and hem-iron from bovine blood are effective as a source of dietary iron supply for the recovery from an iron deficiency anemia.

The effects of clove to the flavor of chicken soup was chemically investigated by cooking dried whole clove or powdered one with the chicken soup. The results obtained were summarized as follows :
1) The main component of cooking clove aroma was eugenol and the second was eugenol acetate from the whole clove while β-caryophyllene from the powdered.
2) The difference between the cooking aromas of whole and powdered clove was due to their total yields of volatile compounds and to the changes of the concentrations of β-caryophyllene and eugenol with the time-course of cooking.
3) The effect of clove to chicken soup aroma was evaluated organoleptically. The aroma obtained by 180 min cooking was favored than that by 60 min cooking which showed strong eugenol odor.
4) The cooking aroma of whole clove was stronger than that of the powdered after 60 min cooking. The qualitative differences were observed between aromas from two types of clove after 60 and 120 min cooking.

The purpose of this investigation is to make clear the mobility characteristics and the competition of metallic ions during food processing, using potato starch as a model of “Multiple Staged Column Chromatography.”
1. It was demonstrated that alkali metals such as K and Na found in potato starch were mostly in the soluble phase, a trace metal such as Fe remained practically in the nonmobile phase, and the mobility of Na ion and K ion was greater than that of ferric ion.
2. Na ion showed a rapid mobility and might be effective in solubilizing other metals.
3. Ferric ion promoted the mobility of alkali metallic ions.
4. It was found that the transfer rate of Na ion varied in competition with K ion or ferric ion.

The solubilization behavior of a series of sodium alkyl sulfates (SAS), C_nH_2n+1OSO₃Na (n= 12, 14, 16, 18), toward an oil-soluble dye, Oil Yellow OB (C.I. Solvent Yellow 6), has been studied in relation to the molecular weight and concentration of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) in theaqueous solutions of sodium sulfate (2.2 × 10^-2 mol/l). The solubilization of Oil Yellow OB was determined at several temperatures (30-60±0.02°C). Excess dye was removed by filtration througha glass filter (G4) and then a filtrate was diluted with methanol. The amount of solubilized dye was determined spectrophotometrically at 442 nm.
The amount of solubilized Oil Yellow OB (S) in SAS solution became greater by the addition of PEO. S increased with an increase in the molecular weight (M_w) and concentration of PEO. The solubilizing power (S/C) corresponding to the slope of each S vs. SAS concentration (C) curve changed similarly to S. The break point (C_b) in each S vs. C curve showed an opposite tendency from S or S/C. For M_w of PEO larger than ca. 300, 000, S/C and C_b became practically constant. The absorption spectra of Oil Yellow OB in various solvents suggest that the dye is mainly solubilized in the hydrophobic parts of SAS micelles in the absence of PEO, while, in the presence of PEO, it is contained in both the hydrophobic parts and PEO regions of SAS-PEO complexes. The effect of the chain length of hydrocarbon of SAS and temperature on S/C and C_b was also discussed.

In order to show what bearing the soil detachment rate d and the soil redeposition rate r which vary with time have on the input output relation of the mass of soil in washing process, a block diagram model is studied.
The study has shown that :
(1) When the final value of the mass of soil in washing is not used, transfer function of a model is expressed as nΣp=1 (F_p/D_p) ×nIIp=1E_p, where _p of II is equal to _p of Σ;D_p=d_p+γ_pA/L; E_p = [{r_p-1A / L + d_p-1 exp (-D_p-1t_p-1)} / D_p-1] / [{γ_pA/L + d_p exp (-D_pt_p-1)} /D_p]; F_p = {exp (-t_p-1s) -exp (-t_ps)} γ _pA / Ls + d_p exp (-D_pt_p-1) exp (-t_p-1s) / (s+D_p) -d_p exp (-D_pt_p) exp (-t_ps) / (s+D_p); d_p, d at time t_p; γ_p, γ at time t_p; t₀=0.
(2) In the case of using the final value of the mass of soil, transfer function of a model isexpressed asnΣp=1 (F_p/D_p).
(3) By means of the above mentioned (1) or (2) model, d_p and γ_p are obtained from curve which shows the relation between the mass of soil on fabrics and time.

Factor analysis was applied to anthropometrical measurements for garment planning 890 Japanese girls aged 7 to 18 years. Factor loading values in each age group for garment planning and effect of measurement item selection were examined.
The results are as follows :
1) In the age groups from 7 to 18 (except 13 and 16), the 1st factor loadings were large in height and length measurements, whereas the 2nd factor loadings were large in girth, width, depth and weight measurements.
2) As for the age groups 13 and 16, however, the measurement items composing the 1st factor and those composing the 2nd factor were reversed.
3) For all age groups, the 3rd factor loadings were large in the upper part of back and shoulder measurements.
4) In the age groups from 7 to 15 and 17, the 4th factor loadings were large in neck measurements.

The fitness relative to movement in wearing a one-piece dress was examined by sensory tests. The following results were observed :
1) The amount of dress-length suspension increased with the increase in armhole-heights; the sensory scale values increased in similar ratio.
2) The amount of suspension for a sleeveless dress was slight; the sensory test values being equivalent to “one point” on the scale.
3) The amounts of suspension for dresses with similar armhole-heights show a fair increase as sleeve-lengths increase. Hence, increase in sensory scale values also is shown similarly.
4) No significant difference is shown in the increase in sensory scale values with different sleevelengths as compared with the increase by differing armhole-heights.

As we reported in Part 2, users of beds have been gradually increasing in Japan. We carried out a survey on the actual use of bedding with 210 subjects who are woman students participating. We have compared the use of bedding for the traditional Japanese way of sleep on Tatami with the way of sleeping on a bed, in order to foresee the tendency of bedding owned in the future.
The results are as follows :
About 57% of the subjects use beds, but they rarely make a bed in the Western style. There are certain differences as to the use of bedding between for those who sleep on Tatami and for those who sleep on beds, except the coverlet.
Generally, those who use beds in Japan don't use bedding for the Western bedmaking, but use the original Japanese style bedding.
