This study investigated the effect of bamboo leaf powder, added at content of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%, on the quality and sensory characteristics of rice cake imprinted with flower pattern (Ed-there is no respecitive comparison here) The chemical composition as a whole was 3.07${\pm}$0.12% of moisture, 5.87${\pm}$0.02% of crude protein, 2.52${\pm}$0.05% of crude fat, 23.70${\pm}$0.07% of crude fiber and 7.73${\pm}$0.02% of crude ash. With increasing amount of added bamboo leaf powder, the hardness and chewiness of the cake were significantly increased(p<0.05), while the cohesiveness, springiness and adhesiveness were decreased. In chromaticity, the L-value, the indicator of brightness, was significantly decreased with increasing bamboo leaf powder content. The a-value, the indicator of redness, was significantly lower than the chlorophyll color (p<0.05). The b-value, the indicator of yellowness, was increased indirect proportion to the content. In sensory test, the sensory characteristics such as color, flavor, taste and chewiness were all stronger with increasing powder content, whereas the softness and dampness were weaker. The greatest overall satisfaction was achieved by the sample group of cake with 6% preference added powder.

Physical properties and compositions of dietary fiber sources (DFS) from peels of Asian pear fruit, Hosui, Niitaka and Chuwhangbae, were examined at different growth stages, young, unripe, and ripe fruits, to investigate their use as functional ingredients. Total dietary fiber (TDF) contents of DFS prepared from peels of three cultivars at three stages were high, 74.00-88.38%, with most being insoluble dietary fiber. Total phenolic compound contents of DFS were 1.64-4.46mg/g, with those of Niitaka and Chuwhangbae increasing with growth stages. Density of DFS from young fruit was significantly lower than those from unripe and ripe fruits (p<0.05), because particle size of DFS increased with growth stages within cultivars. Water-holding capacity (WHC) and oil absorption were 3.11-6.03g water/g solid and 1.98-2.57g oil/g sample, respectively. Young fruits, which showed lowest WHC value, had highest oil absorption value. Particle size of DFS had significant correlation with density, WHC, and oil absorption (p<0.05). Physical properties of DFS were mainly influenced by cellulose and uronic acid.

Barley brans, divided into fractions I $(pearlers\;1{\sim}4)$, II $(pearlers\;5{\sim}20)$, and III $(pearlers \;21{\sim}24)$, germ, and broken kernels were collected as pearling by-products produced by an industrial process consisting of 24 consecutive barley pearlers. The pearling by-products were extracted with 75% ethanol, and polyphenol extracts were separated using Sepabeads SP-850 resin. Total polyphenol content was the highest (43.68%) in the polyphenol extract separated from fraction I. Polyphenol compounds analyzed by HPLC were tentatively identified as proanthocyanins and prodelphinidin polymers, which were known to have antioxidative and antimutagenic activities. Antioxidative abilities were estimated to be in the following order: fraction I>germ>fraction II>fraction III. At 0.01% polyphenol extract, angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity was the highest in the germ fraction (40.04%). Nitrite-scavenging activity was over 70% in all fractions. Superoxide dismutase-like activity was in the range of $64{\sim}78%$ in fractions I and II.

Physicochemical properties including viscosity, temperature and pH stability, color turbidity and moisture retention power of xylooligosaccharide(XO) as food material were investigated to apply to food process. The viscosity of 70 bx XO was 930 cP at $20^{\circ}C$ and 90 cP at $60^{\circ}C$, which was higher than that of sugar but lower than that of other oligosacchrides. XO remained stable after heat treatment for 1hr at $100^{\circ}C$ and pH 2.5 to 8.0 indicating excellent heat and pH stability. The pH of XO was measured $5.0{\pm}0.1$ and the color turbidvity of XO was very low at pH $2.5{\sim}4.0$. The color turbidity of XO increased as pH increased, but it was not high enough to affect food process. When heated with 1% glycine the color turbidity of XO was very low and changed little with pH changes. To measure moisture retention power XO was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ and 75% relative humidity for 71 day. XO retained more than 95% of the original weight; whereas sugar lost 28%. These results suggest that XO has useful physicochemical properties for various food process to improve the functionality of food.

우리나라와 일본에서 특유의 향미로 인해 오래 전부턴 조미식품으로 애용되었던 참기름은 최근 토코페롤과 세사몰류 항산화 성분의 인체 기능성으로 인해 유지시장에 서 더욱 증가일로에 있다. 지금까지 좋은 향미와 품질을 지닌 참기름을 얻기 위해 참깨의 roasting조건에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으나, 가공 전처리인 이물질 제거를 위한 수세 작업 및 탈수 작업에 관한 연구는 아직까지 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이물질을 제거하는 수세 작업을 한 후 수분의 제거 정도 즉, 참깨가 roasting 과정으로 들어가기 직전의 수분 함량이 참기름의 제조와 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 시료 350g을 수세 후 24 hr, 48 hr, 120 hr 실온에서 송풍 건조를 시켜 참깨 자체의 수분 함량을 각각 17.14%, 11.78%, 6.08%로 조절하여 착유하였다. 수분함량이 다른 세 군 시료를 각기 24$0^{\circ}C$, 26$0^{\circ}C$, 28$0^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 roasting하여 착유된 참기름에 대해 이화학적 품질 특성을 알기 위해 seed와 oil의 색도, 산가, 과산화물가, TBA가, 점도와 굴절률을 측정하였다. 또한, sample single test(5점 척도)를 이용한 관능검사를 행하여 benny, nutty, burnt flavor 및 전체적 만족도와 향의 강도 항목을 조사한 후 상관분석을 실시하였다. roasted sesame seed와 oil에 대해 색도를 측정하고 분산 분석을 실시한 결과, 참깨의 색도 중 L＊가 R-suare=1로서 전체 자료가 모형을 잘 설명해줌을 의미하는데, 고수분 시료일수록 whiteness가 높게 나왔고(60이상), 고온일수록 미미한 감소가 나타났다. 이것은 수분함량이 시료의 건화속도에 요인자로 작용함을 말해준다. oil의 L＊도 마찬가지 경향을 보이나 고수분 시료구의 경우(40 이상), 타 시료구(20이하)에 비해 백색도가 높은 것을 볼 수 있어 볶음에 더 많은 시간을 투자해야 함을 보여주었다. 그러나 a＊와b＊는 시료구간 뚜렷한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 참기름에 대하여 화학적 품질 평가로 산가는 수분함량 시료구별로 1.204, 3.28, 1.862가 측정되었고, 과산화물가는 0.493, 0.169, 0.315가 기록되었고, TBA가 또한 13.45, 10.27, 11.73로서 시료의 수분 함량과 상관없이 초기 산패 경향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 참기름의 물리적 품질요소로서 점도는 평균 85.57 cS, 굴절률은 평균 1.471로서 시험구간 이화학적 차이는 없는 것으로 드러났다. 관능검사결과의 상관분석에서는 beany와 burnt flavor간에 -0.9975(p＜0.05)의 음상관을, nutty flavor와 전체favor간에 0.99662의 양상관(p$\leq$0.05)을 보였고, burnt와 향의 strength, 전체 favor와 nutty flavor간에도 상관성이 높았다. strength와 nutty 항목간에도 0.982의 높은 상관을 보였으나 전체 favor와 burnt 항목간에는 높은 음상관(-0.9862)을 보였다. 고수분 함량의 시료는 28$0^{\circ}C$의 고온 처리시 외에는 향미가 좋지 못한 것으로 나타났고, 수분량이 적은 실험구는 고온일수록 향과 고소함은 강해지나 수분 보유량이 적어 타 실험구에 비해 탄내가 많이 발생하였다. 향미 만족도는 중간 수분량, 26$0^{\circ}C$ 볶음 처리구가 가장 컸다. 결론적으로 수분함량을 10~12%로 조절한 시료로 26$0^{\circ}C$~28$0^{\circ}C$에서 20분 이내로 roasting할 때가 좋은 참기름을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In development of the processed food, it is important not only to make the food delicious but to enhance its storage span and thermal stability without change in color, which greatly affects the tastes. Protopectinase (PPase) from Bacillus subtilis EK11 hydrolyses or dissolves protopectin in the middle lamella of plant tissues with the resultant separation of plant cells from each other, called enzymatic maceration. With the PPase, persimmon was enzymatically macerated to separate cells to primary cell wall without damage. Recovery rates of persimmon treated with PPase and mechanical maceration were 95% and 85%, respectively. Total and reducing sugars, crude protein and fat in the enzymatic maceration were well preserved as in the mechanical maceration. Importantly, over 50% of vitamin C, which is the most unstable component during the mechanical maceration, remained with an intact form for one day after the enzymatic treatment. When the suspensions of persimmon macerated with both treatments were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 9 days, the mechanically macerated persimmon suspension was decolorized, whereas decolorization, was not found in the enzymatically macerated persimmon suspension. Moreover the mechanically macerated persimmon was greatly deteriorated after heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, whereas cells of the enzymatically separated persimmon suspension appeared to be stable, indicating increased thermal stability Thus, the PPase treatment of persimmon could be a better choice for preparation of highly valuable and functional processed food as well as for increase in preservation period.

This study was carried out to investigate changes in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) contents and antioxidant activity of duck egg after pressurized soaking in green tea extract. The duck eggs were soaked in different concentrations of green tea extract (10~30%) and subjected to pressures of 0.1~5.0 MPa for 30 min at ambient temperature in a lab model high-pressure rig. After pressured treatment at 5.0 MPa in 30% green tea extract, EGCG content of duck egg white (20 mg/100 g) markedly increased compared to that of untreated sample (0.17 mg/100 g). Moreover, the antioxidant, hepato-protective, and cellular antioxidant activities of duck egg white after pressured treatment at 5 MPa in 30% green tea extract were all higher than those of untreated sample. Our results could have a direct impact on duck egg consumption by increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits of duck eggs.

This study examined changes in antioxidant activity as well as contents of rosmarinic acid, homoplantaginin, and luteolin, which is the main substance of Salvia plebeia R. Br. (SPR) known to have anti-inflammatory efficacy, according to drying, blanching, and fermentation conditions. Rosmarinic acid content was 16.42 mg/g upon hot-air drying and 10.19 mg/g upon hot-air drying after blanching, and there was no significant difference in the case of leaf and root freezing or cold-air drying. Rosmarinic acid content was 8.69 and 8.15 mg/g in the case of air-drying in the shade and freeze-drying, respectively, and decreased to 0.05 mg/g or undetected after fermentation. SPR processed by freeze-drying, cold-air drying in the shade, and hot-air drying showed ABTS radical scavenging ability over 98.5% at a concentration over $500{\mu}g/mL$ as well as excellent radical scavenging ability of 87.3% in the case of hot-air drying after blanching. Root showed lower ABTS radical scavenging ability than leaves. SOD-like activity was measured to be 6.1~27.8% at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$, which was significantly difference from ABTS radical scavenging ability. As rosmarinic acid and homoplantagine, an anti-inflammatory material contained in SPR, are almost undetectable after oxidation fermentation during processing, hot-air drying after blanching or drying seems to be suitable to develop SPR as a functional substance.

Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are widely distributed among the world's oceans in various habitats. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of freeze-drying on the antioxidant and antigenotoxic activities of blue mussels collected in the Gyeongnam coast area of Korea. Raw (RM) and freeze-dried blue mussel flesh (FRM) were extracted with ethanol, methanol, and water. Antioxidant activities were evaluated on the basis of DPPH radical scavenging activity, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), cellular antioxidant capacity (CAC), and antigenotoxic activity (comet assay). Except for the water extract, RM and FRM showed DPPH radical scavenging activities, which increased upon freeze-drying in MeOH extract. The highest ORAC value was observed in water extract of RM and MeOH extract of FRM. CAC was protected against AAPH-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells by both RM and FRM extracts. Freeze-drying lowered ORAC value of water extract, whereas it increased CAC activity, suggesting that antioxidant activities varied according to the generated radicals. All extracts from RM and FRM showed antigenotoxic activities by reducing $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage in human leukocytes. Freeze-drying had no effect on antigenotoxicity of blue mussels. Taken together, these results indicate that blue mussels possess antioxidant and antigenotoxic properties, and freeze-drying might be a useful processing method for blue mussels to retain their maximum physiological potential as a functional food.
