Sprout vegetable and general vegetable were obtained from radish, red cabbage, vegetable green, buckwheat and broccoli seeds. The vitamin contents had a large deviation, and the vitamin B1 contents decreased and/or was not detected according to the sprouting. This tendency occurred because of the use for growth of sprouts. The mineral contents in sprout vegetables was the highest and was 2~10 times greater than general vegetables. In the growing pathway, potassium was a large consumption nutrient and consumption of sodium was low. $\alpha$-Amylase and total enzyme activities were higher in sprout vegetable than general vegetable, which was also the case of the corresponding freeze dried powders. Sprouting was shown to increase the enzyme activities. Thus, sprout vegetables had several advantages including a rich level of nutrients and safety from agricultural pesticides.

The objectives of this study were to select the seeds of Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae genotypes in terms of superior with bioactive compounds content and to inform sophisticated data for developing the high value-added products. We evaluated to aspects of the antioxidant activity, polyphenol content, and flavonoid contents in seeds from two vegetable family. We used in the Cucurbitaceae(watermelon, squash, bitter gourd, and sponge gourd) and Solanaceae(hot pepper, sweet pepper, and egg plant) the total 408 genotypes. In Cucurbitaceae, polyphenol content of watermelon and squash genotypes were ranged 19.9-343.8 and $6.1-81.2mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$, respectively. The polyphenol content of watermelon genotypes was 12% among all genotypes over $160mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$. The mean of flavonoid content in watermelon and squash genotypes represented 80 and $41.3mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$, respectively. In Solanaceae, flavonoid content of hot pepper genotypes was ranged $64.4-472.5mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$, with an average of $165.0mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$. The 23 hot pepper genotypes were classified over 90% antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of sweet pepper was ranged 35.9-90.3%, and 23% of all genotypes represented 82% antioxidant activity. The polyphenol and flavonoid content of egg plant was ranged $38.1-642.0mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$ and $14.2-1217.0mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}\;DW$, respectively. In addition, we selected that 8 egg plant with the superior genotypes for antioxidant activity, polyphenol, and flavonoid content. Results revealed that there was significant variation of antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds contents in both vegetable famaily. In addition, we suggested that selected genotypes seeds with high contain bioactive compounds will be more efficiency to develop natural value-added products.

녹색꽃양배추는 십자화과에 속하는 양배추의 변종으로 꽃이 피지 않은 화뢰를 수확대상으로 한다. 녹색꽃양배추는 녹황색 채소 가운데 영양가가 많은 채소로, 여느 채소보다 비타민 AㆍC의 함량이 뛰어나며 특히 비타민 C는 과일을 능가할 정도로 양상추의 27배, 그린아스파라거스의 13배나 많이 함유하고 있다. 또한 녹색꽃양배추에 함유된 sulforaphane은 항발암 및 해독효소 효과가 큰 것으로 알려져 있으며(Aspry, 1983; Jhang, 1992; Kim, 1997; Howard, 1997), 외국에서는 일찍부터 중요한 채소의 하나로 이용되고 있다.

This study focuses on horticultural activities using colorful food to reduce diets unbalanced in vegetables and to increase emotional intelligence. Horticultural activities using colorful food vegetables were based on 'Health in Daily Life' in the '7th Kindergarten Curriculum'; to improve the dietary habits of the young children, the program was also linked with a parents' education program. The research was conducted with a total of 70 children from classes for four-year-olds in three child-care centers located in Seoul. The horticultural activities based upon nutrition education included activities using colorful food vegetables and nutrition education. For the nutrition education group, only nutrition education was provided, while neither horticultural activities nor nutrition education were provided to the control group. The study was conducted from September to December 2011. A total of twelve sessions were conducted once a week for 60 minutes each. According to the result, after the horticultural activities with colorful food vegetable were conducted, both the nutrition education group and horticultural activity & nutrition education group showed improvements in 'Nutrition Knowledge' compared to the control group. Regarding 'Unbalanced Diet Behaviors', the horticultural activities & nutrition education group showed meaningful decreases compared to the control group. Moreover for preference of fruits and vegetables, the horticultural activities & nutrition education group revealed meaningful improvements. In conclusion, colorful food vegetable horticultural activity could be an effective approach to resolve the imbalance of health caused by unbalanced diets as children who participated in the colorful food vegetable horticultural activities continued to respond spontaneously to the colors of vegetables and fruits and showed joy and kept voluntarily eating them.

Purpose: This study examined the association between fruit and vegetable intake and mental health in Korean adolescents. Methods: This study used the data from the 2014-2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a national cross-sectional survey on 137,101 boys and 130,806 girls aged 12-18. Fruit and vegetable intake was assessed based on the frequency of consumption. The outcome variables were the perceived happiness, perceived stress, depressive symptom and suicidal ideation over the previous 12 months. Logistic regression models were used after adjusting for the demographic, life style and other dietary factors. Results: Only 34% and 29% of Korean adolescents consumed fruits more than 5 times/week and vegetables more than 2 times/day, respectively; whereas 37%, 25% and 12.2% of Korean adolescents had perceived stress, depressive symptom and suicidal ideation, respectively. After adjusting for the confounding variables, the greater consumption of fruit and vegetable were all associated with a higher odds of perceived happiness; the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) (95% CI) were 1.53 (1.46-1.60) in boys and 1.82 (1.73-1.90) in girls who consumed fruit ≥ 5 times/week, and 1.65 (1.54-1.76) in boys and 1.62 (1.51-1.72) in girls who consumed vegetable ≥ 2 times/day. In contrast, the consumption of fruit or vegetable were all significantly associated with a lower odds of perceived stress, depressive symptom, and suicidal ideation; the AOR (95% CI) were 0.70 (0.67-0.73), 0.88 (0.84-0.93), and 0.78 (0.73-0.83) in boys who consumed fruit 3-4 times/week, and 0.71 (0.67-0.76), 0.88 (0.81-0.94), and 0.68 (0.62-0.74) in boys who consumed vegetable 5-7 times/week. Similar associations of fruit or vegetable consumption with perceived stress, depressive symptom, or suicidal ideation were found in girls. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that increasing fruit and vegetable intake is important for better mental health among adolescents.
