An investigation was carried out to study the effects of extraction, heat treatment, and storage temperature on functional ingredients of onion. Extracts of onion paste and freeze dried onion were prepared by treatments with several solvents including hot water, methanol, and ethanol, and then contents of functional ingredients such as total phenol, flavonoid, quercetin, and thiosulfinate were determined. The highest levels of functional ingredients were observed in samples extracted using water at 100$^{\circ}C$ or ethanol. The skin extract contained 60-fold more quercetin than onion paste extract, whereas no thiosulfinate was detected in onion skin extract. Heat treatment of onion extracts at 60, 80, 105, and 121$^{\circ}C$ did not effect on the levels of all functional ingredients tested. During four-week storage, the levels of total phenol, flavonoid, and quercetin were not significantly changed regardless of storage temperature. However, the total thiosulfinate was rapidly reduced as the storage temperature increased.

본 연구는 각종 영양성분과 기능성 물질을 함유한 식용마의 소비확대와 새로운 가공식품을 개발하고자, 당절임한 식용 마의 건조방법에 따른 물성 및 일반 성분의 변화를 조사하였다. 동결건조한 당절임 식용마의 명도는 높았고 적색도와 황색도는 열풍 및 진공 건조한 것에 비해 낮았으며, 수분함량과 재수화율은 동결건조한 것이 높게 나타났다. 수용성 단백질은 동결건조한 것이 6.43mg/100g으로 가장 낮았으며 총당과 환원당의 함량은 건조방법에 따라 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 주요 유기산은 malic, acetie, citric acid 이었고, acetic, citirc acid는 열풍 및 진공 건조한 것이 많았으나 malic acid는 동결 건조한 것이 월등히 높게 나타났다. 구성아미노산은 진공 건조한 것에 많았으며, 유리아미노산은 큰 차이가 없었다. 총 비타민 C함량도 별다른 차이가 없었으나 환원형 비타민 C는 동결이 산화형 비타민 C는 열풍 및 진공 건조한 것이 높게 나타났고, 무기질 함량은 K, Na, Mg의 함량이 많았다. 마 스낵의 관능검사에서는 열풍 및 진공건조에 비해 동결 건조한 것이 우수한 것으로 평가되었으며, 전자현미경적 관찰에서는 열풍 및 진공 건조한 것은 세포와 세포벽의 형태를 찾아 볼 수 없었으나 동결 건조 한것은 세포의 형태와 세포벽의 파괴가 일어나지 않았다. 본 연구는 당절임한 식용 마의 건조 방법에 따른 물성 및 성분의 변화를 조사한 결과, 동결건조한 것이 품질이 우수하였고, 영양성과 기능성을 함유한 마의 가공 식품의 개발의 가능성을 제시한다.

World consumers are now focusing on their health, well-being and appearance more than ever before. This trend is creating heightened demand for products formulated as cosmeceuticals with active ingredients. A significant number of innovative formulations are now being used in cosmetics with real consumer-perceivable benefits and optimized sensory attributes, resulting in an economic uplift of cosmetic industry. To obtain skin care formulations with real consumer-perceivable benefits through dermal delivery of active ingredients, formulators are resorting to technology that until recently was used in pharmaceutical products. These various delivery systems are now being used in cosmecuetical formulations. Novel delivery systems reviewed here possess enormous potential as next-generation smarter carrier systems.

This study was to investigate the chemical compositions of germinated (GSS)- and ungerminated (UGSS)-safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seeds. GSS had higher amount of sugar and crude fiber than UGSS, but less amounts of protein and lipid. Levels of $\alpha$-tocopherol and essential amino acids of GSS were higher than those of UGSS, although there are no difference in fatty acid composition between GSS and UGSS. Among the nine phenolic compounds detected, five phenolic compounds, except for two lignans and two flavonoids, were found in both GSS and UGSS. Four serotonin derivatives accounted for about 80 per cent of total phenolic compounds, and levels of five phenolic compounds decreased slightly with germination. These results suggest that germination may enhance the functionality of safflower seed by increasing nutritional compositions and by decreasing phenolic compounds with bitter taste and cathartic effects.

This study was determined protein reaction, antioxidative activity, nitrite scavening ability and antimicrobial activity of tannins isolated from astringent persimmon fruits. Tannins extracted from green persimmon fruits reacted highly with BSA(bovine serum albumin). Reactions between tannins and BSA were more active when contents of tannin were higher than that of BSA. Antioxidative abilities of green persimmon tannin were comparable to that of BHT(butylated hydroxytoluene). Green persimmon tannins exhibited remarkable nitrite-scavenging activity. Different antimicrobial activities of persimmon tannins were observed depending on the maturity. The growth of V. parahaemolyticus and E coil were highly inhibited by the addition of persimmon tannins. Tannins from soft persimmon did not have antimicrobial activities against B. subtilis and S. typhimurium.

질병의 예방, 노화억제, 돌연변이 억제 등 다양한 생리활성을 나타내는 안토시아닌 색소 C3G가 다량 함유되어 있는 흑자색 유색미의 성분연구를 수행한 결과 9가지의 천연화합물을 분리하였으며, 그 중 항산화 기능이 매우 뛰어난 페놀성 화합물 oryzafuran을 최초로 분리 그 구조를 확인하였다. 또한 allantoin과 같은 알칼로이드도 쌀에서는 처음으로 분리하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 흑자색 유색미는 식용이상의 역할을 수행할 것으로 판단된다. 아울러 이러한 성분의 정량분석 방법과 합성과 관련된 메커니즘, 성분의 약리적 기능, 유전자원 평가 등 산업화를 위한 체계적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이며, 더 나아가 고C3G, 저단백, 저알레그렌, 고불포화지방산 등과 같은 다기능성 유색미 품종을 육성 보급함으로써 국민보건 및 농가소득에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다. 특히 이와 같은 성분이 주로 분포하는 미강은 도정과정을 통해 대부분 제거되기 때문에 회수하기가 용이하고, 따라서 부산물로 발생하는 흰쌀을 식품가공분야에서 이용할 수 있어 산업적으로 가치가 매우 높다고 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the value of yellow cherry tomato as a food material. Contents of nutritional and bioactive compound were determined from yellow cherry tomato. 17 of amino acids occurred. L-Glutamic acid (45.15%), L-glutamine (22%) and L-aspartic acid (11%) were the main amino acids. 8 of essential amino acids were found except tryptophan. γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was found in high contentration (258.58 mg/100g). Contents of Lycopene and β-carotene were 2.18 mg/100 g and 9.90 mg/100 g, respectively. Yellow cherry tomato contained naringenin chalcone, quercetin-3-rutinoside(rutin), 5-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-caffeoylquinic acid, and quercetin-3-apiosylrutinoside that have various bioactivities. These results revealed that yellow cherry tomato would be very useful and valuable food material.

By-products from grapes obtained during processing have been considered to be promising materialsfor various functional applications, and to have pharmaceutical properties. A grape powder was developed from a concentrate of by-products obtained during grape processing. As dextrin levels increased, the moisture content, L-, a-, and b- values all decreased, whereas sugar content generally increased. Catechin and resveratrol were detected in most samples, but quercetin was absent. Epicatechin and resveratrol levels either decreased or were not detected as dextrin concentration increased. These physiochemical properties indicate that a concentrate extracted using undiluted ethanol as solvent is optimal for industrial use.

Lipid soluble ginseng extract was administered by oral route in doses of 600 mg/patient daily in cancer patients over 2 months and 6 months. The administration of ginseng extract in cancer patients maintained the ratio of CD4/CD8 and number of the natural killer cell in the normal range during the administration period. Also its administration showed a positive effect on tumor values in 87.5% of patients in 2 month-group and in 50% of patients in 6 month-group, as determined by various cancer markers. Liver and kidney functions maintained normal condition during administration period of 6 months. Although there was no statistical significance, these data suggest that lipid soluble ginseng extract may be useful as an adjuvant therapeutic agent and nutritional supplement for the improvement of immune function and health in cancer patients. This study would provide the basis for the research in which the antitumor and immunopotential activity of lipid soluble ginseng extract for cancer patients are evaluated in formal clinical trial with statistically significant patient number.

In this study, we analyzed two components, sulforaphane and PF-3758309 to prove that the mixed composition of them has more effective antioxidant and whitening functions compared to each component. We analyzed the cellular toxicity of each component and also the mixed composition to find the safe concentration level for cell viability. From the single component treatment, we discovered that sulforaphane was safe up to $10{\mu}M$, and PF-3758309 up to 100 nM. Combination treatment of $10{\mu}M$ sulforaphane and 1 nM PF-3758309 did not affect the cell viability. The LPS-stimulated NO generation was significantly reduced by the mixed composition of sulforaphane and PF-3758309. Melanogenesis by ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH) was also inhibited by the mixed composition. In order to confirm the possibility as the cosmetic material, we carried out clinical studies for the mixed composition samples. Skin safety evaluation using patch test was judged to be unstimulated, skin whitening effect was increased, and melanin deposition was suppressed by treatment of mixed composition samples. These results provide us with the opportunity for applying it into the development of new functional cosmetics.
