We investigated the quality and antioxidant activities of sponge cake prepared containing 1-5% of green tea powder (GT). The water content in the cake increased with an increase in the amount of GT added. Although the hardness and springiness of the rice sponge cake increased, the adhesiveness decreased with increasing the level of GT. The cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience of the rice sponge cake with GT were similar to those of the control. Chromaticity determination revealed that lightness, redness, and yellowness of the crust decreased with increasing GT content. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing GT level. Antioxidant activity, measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging as well as reducing power activities, was significantly higher in the rice sponge cake with GT than in the control. Sensory evaluation determined that addition of 1-3% GT to the rice sponge cake maintained the color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance similar to that of the control.

We investigated the effect of green tea extract (GTE) on the sensory properties, color value and shelf-life characteristics (pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count) of cooked rice. Sensory attributes such as taste, flavor and overall acceptability were significantly higher in cooked rices prepared with 500, 1000 ppm of GTE than those of control group (p<0.01) but there was no significant difference among samples (p<0.01) in textural quality. Redness, yellowness and total color difference (${\Delta}E$) were higher when GTE was added. When cooked rice was putrefied, the values of pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count were about 5.8, 0.3% and $10^8$ cfu/g, respectively. The shelf life of cooked rice was prolonged to 1-2 day by adding 500 and 1000 ppm of GTE as compared to control group.

Changes of principal components of crude green tea were determined after 30 min. of heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$, l15$^{\circ}C$, 14$0^{\circ}C$, 16$0^{\circ}C$. Four kinds of free sugars(sucrose, fructose, glucose, raffinose) and an unidentified sugar compound were separated in green tea by using High Performance LiQuid Chromatography (H.P.L.C.). 26-34 peaks were isolated as aroma compounds of green tea by means of Gas Liquid Chromatography(G.L.C). The typical aroma component of green tea such as linalool, furfural, benzyl alcohol and 13 other substances were identified. Contents of most compounds were decreased by heat treatment. Especially contents of free amino acids, free sugars, vitamin C and tannins were decreased remarkably, while those of total nitrogen and soluble nitrogen were hardly changed. The effect of heat treatment on organoleptic quality of tea extracts were examined by sensory evaluation of which result indicated the most favorable tea was produced at 115$^{\circ}C$. The Percentages of loss in contents of total sugars, reducing sugars, vitamin C, free amino acids and tannins at 115$^{\circ}C$ were 17%, 16%, 36%, 12% and 15% respectively, while those were 38%, 53%, 55%, 74% and 23% at 16$0^{\circ}C$.

The sensory properties and flavor components of the white bread added with arrowroot juice. The lightness of bread crumb decreased significantly as arrowroot juice was added. While the yellowness increased slightly, redness increased remarkably. The hardness, chewiness and adhesiveness of the white bread added with arrowroot juice increased more than those of the control bread, but they had no statistical significance. While the gumminess increased significantly and springiness decreased significantly, the cohesiveness did not indicate significant differences among the comparison groups. In sensory evaluation, the texture, flavor and sweetness did not indicate significant difference among the comparison groups, while the color and overall acceptability indicated significant difference. The optimum concentration of arrowroot juice in the white bread was 25% based on the sensory evaluation scores. The main flavors components of the white bread added with 25% arrowroot juice were compounds translated by arrowroot juice and the compounds formed by amino-carbonyl reaction. The translated flavors were methoxy phenol, ${\beta}-damascenone$, benzylcyanide, and menthofuran. The compounds formed by amino-carbonyl reaction were alkyl pyrazines, pyrroles and furans.

In this study, organic tea leaves were characterized with the aim of developing an organic beverage process. The green tea leaves grown using organic farming techniques were collected in Haenam, Korea. Catechins in green tea leaves were extracted by chloroform and ethyl acetate and these were then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively by HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography). The color and pH values of the green tea extracts were also measured. The catechin levels of April-harvested, May-harvested and June-harvested, semi-fermented leaves at 0.5% were 66.24, 29.19, 57.11, and 5.27 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Among the detected catechins, the level of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate was the highest while that of (-)-epigallocatechin was not detected. The June-harvested leaves were selected as raw material for development of the green tea beverage, based on the levels of catechins, economic viability and yield of tea extract. As the level of extract increased, the levels of catechins of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5% also increased by 1.5, 11.78 and 41.01 times. From the results of the sensory evaluation of June-harvested leaf-extract, the sensory score of color was the highest in 0.1%, while the flavor and overall quality were the highest in 0.2%.

To investigate the aroma difference of commercial Korean green tea caused by manufacturing process and harvesting time, analysis of aroma concentrates of steamed green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) and parched green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) was accomplished. Steamed green tea, which had a briskness, greenish odor and sweet-floral odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, nerolidol, ketones such as cis-jasmone, 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexanone and indole, Parched green tea, which had a slightly greenish odor and floral, roast odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, geraniol, aromatic alcohols such as benzylalcohol, phenylethanol and phenol, indole. Almost same tendency of odor component change of 1st tea and 2nd tea differed to harvesting time being observed in steamed tea and parched tea. In 2nd tea of both samples, aliphatic alcohols such as 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-penten-1-al and two 2, 4-heptadienal(cis, trans and trans, trans) increased remarkably. It seems that these four components effects on the grade of the odor.

As a foundational study for notifing excellence of persimmon leaves tea, the chemical component and antioxidant activity were investigated in persimmon leaves from Dungsi, Gabjubaekmok, Weulhasi and Cheongdobansi and green tea leaves. Total sugar contents in all persimmon leaves more higher than that of green tea leaves, and the highest free sugar contained in persimmon and green tea leaves was sucrose. Free sugars present in persimmon and green tea leaves were composed of sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose and xylose. Sucrose and fructose took more than 70% of total sugar contents. 31∼32 kinds of amino acid were detected in persimmon leaves and 35 kinds in green tea leaves. And total amino acids contained in persimmon leaves were Dungsi, Gabjubaekmok, Weulhasi and Cheongdobansi, respectively 60.40 nmol/${\mu}$L, 53.21 nmol/${\mu}$L, 52.29 nmol/${\mu}$L and 47.58 nmol/${\mu}$L. Total amino acid contents in green tea leaves was the most abundant of all as 114.72 nmol/${\mu}$L. The contents of vitamin C in persimmon and green tea leaves were in the range of 0.015∼0.089% and 0.01%, respectively. Vitamin C was significant higher content in the persimmon leaves than in green tea leaves. Caffeine was not detected in all persimmon leaves, but the caffeine content of green tea leaves was 6.63 mg/l00 g. The content of catechin was showed in the orders of Cheongdobansi, Gabjubaekmok, Weulhasi, Dungsi and green tea leaves; 0.35%, 0.34%, 0.24%, 0.18% and 0.07%, respectively. The contents of gallic acid in Dungsi and Gabjubaekmok were 0.32% and 0.20%. That of green tea was 1.41%, it was the highest content in all samples. The content of calcium in Chengdobansi was most abundant in all samples as 3516.14 ppm, it was 4∼5 times as that of green tea leaves. Flavor component pattern among persimmon leaves was similar, but that of green tea leaves was different. The IC50(${\mu}$g) value of Dungsi, Weulhasi, Gabjubaekmok, Cheongdobansi and green tea were 64.5, 42.0, 47.0, 64.0 and 19.0 respectively.
