The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary vitamin A on the antioxidant status in ethanol-treated rats. Weaning rats were fed a basal diet until they reached about 160-180g body weight. Thereafter, four experimental groups were fed a liquid diet containing 36% ethanol of total calorie and four pair-fed groups were fed isocaloric sucorse instead of ethanol. Additionally, the liquid diet contained adequate amount of ${\beta}-carotene$, retinyl acetate, or 13-cis-retinoic acid except vitamin A deficient diet. The rats were sacrificed after 7 weeks of feedng periods. Significant decrease in hepatic vitamin E content was found in rats treated with chronic ethanol. However, dietary supplementation of retinyl acetate modified the change to some extent. Total vitamin C content of liver increased in vitamin A-deficient or ${\beta}-carotene$ groups with ethanol feeding. The ratio of reduced/oxidized vitamin C increased in the plasma and liver of ${\beta}-carotene$ group with ethanol feeding. Chronic ethanol intake did not change the total glutathione content of rat liver, but increased reduced glutathione(GSH)/oxidized glutathione(GSSG) ratio. This increase in hepatic GSH after chronic ethanol treatment. The changes of Se content in plasma and liver was not consistant. Fe content of liver increased by ethanol treatment, but this increase reduced in rats fed dietary retinyl acetate or 13-cis-retinoic acid. Fe content of plasma increased in vitamin A-deficient and ${\beta}-carotene$ supplemented groups with ethanol intake.

In order to obtain a basic understanding of the storage of Satsuma mandarin sacs, the canned sacs were stored at room temperature from Feb. 20 to June 20(4 months), after dipping in chlorine solution and pasteurization as a pretreatment before canning. In general, the brix, acidity and pH of the sacs were almost not affected by the chlorine treatment ana a variety of pasteurization temperatures during storage. The broken rate was apperently increased by chlorine treatment, especially in the early stage of storage. However, the broken sacs were partially recovered in the end of storage. The contents of total carotenoid were almost not decreased by the conditions of the pretreatments during storage. The contents of vitamin C were sharply decreased between 3rd and 4th month of storage time on all sample. As a result, the decrement of vitamin C in canned sacs was caused by storage temperature rather than the condition of the pretreament.

Red pepper powder (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important ingredients for making kimchi. Various aspects of the quality of the red pepper powders (RPP) produced in Korea depending on the varieties and producing districts were compared. The evaluated intrinsic elements were vitamin C, carotenoid, capsaicinoid and free sugar contents and the extrinsic element was ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) colors. The vitamin C content was the highest in Johong (230 mg%) RPP among the varieties and Youngyang (263 mg%) RPP among the producing districts. Myungpum RPP that contains high level of carotenoids showed increased level of ASTA color, it exhibited positive relationship between carotenoid contents and ASTA color. Capsaicinoid level in RPP was the highest in var. Chungyang (126.1 mg%) that was usually used soup and pungent cook. Free sugar contents which is related to sweetness were the highest in Youngyang RPP Youngyang RPP that preferentially used in the preparation of kimchi showed the highest levels in vitamin C, carotenoid, ASTA color, and free sugar contents, but the contents of capsaicinoid was the lowest.

In a model reaction using lysyl oxidase purified partilally from bovine aorta, effect of L-ascorbic acid AsA on the oxidative reaction of lysine in collagen was investigated. Addition of Ash to the reaction mixture under aerobic conditions resulted in the decrease of enzymatic activity. In order to examine the specificity of AsA in the oxidative reaction of lysine, other reductants including A derivatives instead of AsA were added to the reaction mixture. Thiol such as glutathione had no effect on the activities of lysyl oxidase. on the other hand, it was observed that erythorbic acid, which was a stereoisomer of AsA, had the same inhibitory effect on this oxidative reaction as AsA. Moreover, by the addition of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, which was structural analog of AsA, the activities decreased in a similar manner to that of AsA. These results indicate that the regulatory effect of AsA on lysyl oxidase is attributed to characteristics of the structure. From the determination of Ash remained in the reaction mixture, it is shown that AsA concentration remarkably decreased by lysyl oxidase of the reaction mixture. It is hypothesized that endiol groups reduces the enzyme-bound $Cu^{+2}$ required for further progress of the reaction, and suggests that AsA regulates specifically the reduction of $Cu^{+2}$ required to oxidize lysyl oxidase. This findings support that AsA has an important regulatory role on the oxidative reaction of lysine and on changes of collagen cross-links with aging.

In this study, the differences in the contents of vitamin C and minerals in perilla leaves were compared according to the age of leaf and storage conditions. The content of vitamin C in perilla leaves the younger the perilla leaves, the higher the content of vitamin C: Vitamin C content of mature leaf at the lowest part of the stem was 63.7mg/100g, and that of young leaf at the top of the stem was 129.0mg/100g. However, the contents of Ca and Fe by the leaf age were in an opposite tendency with vitamin C: Ca content of the leaves at the lowest and the top part of the stem were 449.4 mg and 311.8mg/100g, respectively. But, the contents of Na and Mg were poor in mature leaf, and the content of K showed no particular difference according to leaf age. When stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, residual rate of vitamin C content was 92.56, 81.52 and 77.05%, after stored 1, 5 and 10 days, respectively. In the case of 20$^{\circ}C$, residual rate of vitamin C was 85.80, 79.90 and 72.53%, respectively. When stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, Ca content in perilla leaves was in the range of 348.93∼408.81mg/100g, and at 20$^{\circ}C$, the content of Ca was 360.26∼392.25mg/100g. Storage time and temperature did not make a significant difference in the mineral content of perilla leaves.

The study was intended to develop a yam snack to increase the consumption and the added value of the yam which has many kinds of medicinal effects and functions. Moisture content of a freeze-drying yam snack was higher than those of hot wind drying and vacuum drying yam snack. However, carbohydrate content was opposed to it. The content of soluble proteins in freeze drying yam snack was 6.43 mg/100g, and lower than that those in hot wind drying and vacuum drying yam snack. The contents of total sugar and reducing sugar were not noticeably different by processing methods. The major organic acids of yam snack were malic, acetic, acids, and acetic acid. Citric acid were rich contented in hot wind and vacuum dried yam snack, but the content of malic acid in freeze dried yam snack was higher than those in hot wind and vacuum dried yam snack. The contents of the amino acids and total amino acids showed the highest contents in vacuum dried snack and the next came in hot wind dried snack and freeze dried snack order. The content of free amino acids were not different by processing methods. Total content of vitamin C were not different by processing methods, but a ascorbic acid was higher in freeze dried yam snack than those in other. The dehydroascorbic acid contents of the hot-air and vacuum dried snack was higher than those of the freeze dried snack, Potassium, sodium and magnesium were the main minerals of the yam snacks.

There is growing interest ill understanding the role and mechanisms of flavonoid as antioxidant on LDL. The antioxidative activity of flavonoid typically present in Oenothers odorate Jacquin was investigated in vitro using a human LDL oxidation assay. In present work, LDL was incubated with increasing concentrations of extracts of extracts of Oenothers odorate Jacquin and LDL oxidation was started by adding CuSO$_4$to the media. Substances in leaves extracts of Oenothers odorate Jacquin are capable of inhibiting the initiation and the propagation of LDL oxidation. They inhibit LDL oxidation, monitored by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances(TBARS), as well as modification as shown through direct measurement of electrophoretic mobility, diene conjugates. Inhibition is a dose dependent effect that becomes already apparent at concentration of extracts as low as 40$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Inhibition is almost complete at 80$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Extracts of Oenothers odorate Jacquin were more potent antioxidative activity than either ascorbic acid and dl-a -tocopherol.
