This study aims to investigate the effect of multisensory stimulation on relieving the stress experienced by drivers. The photoplethysmograms (PPGs) of 30 healthy subjects were measured, and their subjective response to stressful situations and normal driving were evaluated. The subjects underwent nonstimulation and multisensory stimulation in stressful driving situations. Heart rate estimation from the PPG was collected via an ear-type sensor to reduce movement noise. The signals acquired were sampled at 200 Hz using BIOPAC PPG100C. Heart rate variability (HRV) was analyzed to compare the effect of multisensory stimulation on stress situations. In the multisensory stimulation, blue, green, and yellow were used for the visual sensory system; white, pink, and brown noises were used for the auditory sensory system; and lavender, lemon, and rosemary were used for the olfactory sensory system. No difference was observed in the subjective evaluation; however, the HRV results showed an increased HF (%) and decreased LF (%) and LF/HF (%) in the multisensory stimulation (e.g., green, pink noise, and rosemary) when compared to the nonstimulation.

The purpose of this research was to improve the quality of Sulgidduk by additions of green tea or rosemary powder to enhance its functional properties and antimicrobial effects. The green tea or rosemary powders were added to the Sulgidduk at different levels (1 or 3%), and color values, textural characteristics, sensory qualities, pH values, and acetic acid values were evaluated. With higher amounts of green tea or rosemary powder, the L-values of samples decreased and a-and b-values increased. Texture profile analyses indicated that hardness was significantly different among all the samples. The sensory evaluation results showed that the 1% addition of green tea or rosemary powder did not cause significant differences in overall acceptability, flavor, or taste. During storage, pH values decreased in all groups and the control group showed the lowest value. Acetic acid values increased during storage and the control group showed the highest value in the last stage of storage. Finally, the L- and a-values of samples did not change significantly during storage.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of rosemary and kimchi powder on the quality characteristics of pork patties. Cooked pork patties was stored at $3^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. Rosemary powder, either alone or with Kimchi powder, was highly effective in inhibiting lipid oxidation. The AV and TBARS values of R4(additional group of 4% rosemary powder) and RK(additional group of 2% rosemary powder +2% kimchi powder) were slightly lower than those of the control group. Sensory preferences for pork patties decreased with increased of storage time period. In a sensory evaluation, R4 showed the low sensory scores, whereas RK was highly evaluated compared to control. In conclusion, we determined that the pork patties with added 2% rosemary powder and 2% kimchi powder had the most favorable antioxidant effects and sensory qualities.

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of blending oils on atopic dermatitis (AD) model of NC/Nga mice. Methods: Adult NC/Nga mice were assigned to 1 of 3 groups: control group (C, n=8), experimental group [AD-induced group, blending oil-treated group (E=8, 8)]. Mice in the E group were given a treatment of blending oils such as Lavender, Rosemary and Lemon Balm (LRL) for 2 sessions (every day) for 6 days. Results: The AD-induced mice with LRL blending oils treatment showed a significant decrease in epidermal thickness, number of mast cells and degranulation, expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ and scoring of sensual assessment. Conclusion: LRL blending oils may be a putative resource for the cure of or treatment of AD by the diminution of AD-pathological factors such as the epidermal thickness, the number of mast cells and degranulation as well as the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of adding rosemary extract powder (REP) to pork teokgalbi on its quality and storage characteristics. Five types of teokgalbi were tested, viz. with no REP added (normal, N), with 0.05% ascorbic acid added (control, C) and with 0.05% (R1), 0.1% (R2) and 0.2% (R3) of REP added. The proximate composition, calorific value, water holding capacity and cooking loss were not significantly different among the different types of pork teokgalbi. The L and a values of the teokgalbi containing REP were significantly lower than those of the N and C groups. As regards the textural characteristics, the addition of 0.2% REP increased the springiness value. In the sensory evaluation, the teokgalbi with the addition of 0.1% REP had higher scores in flavor and total acceptability. The 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, total microbial count and volatile basic nitrogen content of the teokgalbi containing 0.2% REP were lower than those of the N group. In conclusion, R3 was significantly more effective in delaying lipid peroxidation than the other treatment groups. Therefore, rosemary extract could be used as a natural antioxidant in meat products.

Quality stability of the herb pill coated with edible oils containing rosemary was investigated. Herb pills were made of herb powders such as Panax ginseng, Cinnamomum cassia, Lycium chinense, Zyzyphus jujuba and Zingiber officinale. Rapeseed oil and lubriol were used as edible coating oil. After herb pills coated with edible oils with or without rosemary were stored at $40^{\circ}C$ for 180 days, the microbial viable cell counts and peroxide values(POV) of the herb pill were investigated. After 180 day storage, POVs of herb pills with only rapeseed oil or lubriol were 0.51 and 0.49 meq/kg, respectively. However, when rosemary was added in herb pills the POVs were decreased to 0.30 and 0.39 meq/kg, respectively. The addition of rosemary to the rapeseed oil and lubriol tended to decrease the microbial viable cell counts of the herb pill. The microbial viable cell counts of rapeseed oil and lubriol were 940 and 820CFU/g, respectively after 180 days of storage. However, these levels were suppressed to 720 and 640CFU/g by the resemary addition. On the other hand, the ginseng saponin content of herb pills was not affected by the rosemary addition during storage.

The applicability of the dipping, ultrasonic-assisted, heating methods to the extraction of useful components from Zostera marina was investigated. For the increase of the extraction yield of caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid from Zostera marina, ionic liquids and DES were used as additives in the extraction solvent. The optimum extraction conditions were found: dipping extraction, methanol as extraction solvent, 0.005 g of freeze-dried material powder, 5 mL methanol, 30 min and 0.5 g of DES-3 ($Et_4NCl$ and phenol) as additive. As a result, 0.19 mg/g of caffeic acid and 8.48 mg/g of rosmarinic acid were obtained. This method is simple and sensitive, and has been applied successfully to determine the component of caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid in Zostera marina and these results indicate that DES were used as additives is more suitable than traditional extraction for the extraction of useful components from Zostera marina.

Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes. One of causes may be the nonenzymatic glycation followed formation of browning products called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), an irreversible cross-linked protein. The accumulation of glycated collagen cross-linked in skin inhibits the formation and function of skin tightening agents such as collagen and elastin. To development for anti-wrinkle ingredients from edible plants, MeOH and hot-water extracts were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory effects of AGEs formation. The activities of both extracts from bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureirii), clove (Eugenia caryophyllate), oregano (Origanum vulgare), rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis), savory (Satureja hortensis) and star anis (Illicium verum) of western spices, and blackberry (Rubus coreanus), dayflower (Commelina communis), Epimedium koreamun (whole), termunalia frutus (Terminalia chebula) and turkestan rose (Rosa rugosa) of medicinal plants were higher than the others. Of Korean vegetables, however, MeOH and hot-water extract from only Asters caber and green tea showed higher activities, and no activity in Korean marine plants (seaweeds).
