초고압 가공처리는 별동의 화학 보존제를 사용하지 않고도 저온에서 식품유래 미생물을 사멸시킬 수 있기 때문에 식품분야에서 주목받는 새로운 가공기술이다. 이러한 초고압 처리의 장점 덕분에 관능적 특성이 우수하고 영양성분이 그대로 보존되는 고품질 식품의 제조도 가능하다. 고압 조건에서의 미생물 사멸정도를 측정하기 위해서는 흔히 실험실 규모의 장비(그림 1)을 사용하여 소량의 미생물 접종액을 처리함으로서 대량 처리시(그림 2)의 양상을 예측할 수 있다. 초기에 개발된 실험실 귬의 초고압 처리장비에는 일반적으로 고압용기 내부에 온도감지 장치가 부착되어 있지 않아, 압력 조건 하에서의 압축발열 및 순간 감압냉각 효과가 제대로 보고되지 않았다. 그러나 가열효과를 고려하지 않으면 초고압 처리기 특유의 가압 특성 대문에 실험 결과의 재현성을 얻기가 힘들고, 특히 대용량 생산설비의 경우 더욱 그러하다. 이론적으로 초고압 처리는 매우 예측 가능한 공정이다. 즉 고압요기 내부에서는 어느 지점이던 간에 압력이 고르게 분포되고, 가열 확산에 근거한 처리공정과는 달리 압력이 모든 지점에 순간적으로 공정상 불균일이 야기될 소지가 있는 부분은 오직 압축에 다른 발열과 열 전달에 의한 온도 편차에 기인한다. 실제로 처리 대상 제품과 압력 전달매체의 압축시 발열정도 차이와 시료, 매체, 고압용기 간의 열 손실 또는 열 흡수 대문에 고압처리 공정에서 온도가 일정하지 않을 수 있다.

High pressure processing (HPP) technology was applied to inactivate the microorganisms in Doenjang (soybean paste) and the effects of salt concentration on the HPP inactivation of microorganisms were analyzed. The microorganisms in Doenjang containing low salt content showed greater sensitivity to HPP than those with high salt content. HPP inactivation effects decreased as salt concentration of Doenjang increased. The HPP sensitivity decreased in the order of fungi, yeasts, bacteria in terms of microorganism type. The HPP of Doenjang at 6,500 atm for 40 min inactivated most yeasts and fungi, indicating that the HPP technology was applicable to control the microorganisms in Doenjang, especially with a low level of salt.

Microbial and sensory changes during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ of Angelica keiskei juice pressurized at $5700\;kg_f/cm^2$ for 7 min, an optimum process condition suggested from the previous study, were investigated. Pseudomonas, which is responsible for putrefaction of refrigerated food, was totally inactivated by pressurization. E. coli and coliform bacteria were also completely inactivated. According to the sensory evaluation data, high hydrostatic pressure does not change sensory characteristics of freshness, sweetness and bitterness (P<0.05). However, after 8 day storage at $4^{\circ}C$, pressurized Angelica keiskei juice showed higher freshness than untreated control. These results indicated that the high hydrostatic pressure can be used as an effective process method for preserving Angelica keiskei juice.

Changes in microbial count, enzyme, texture and color during storage of dongchimi (pickled radish roots) were investigated. Dongchimi was pressurized at 400 MPa for 5 min. Pressurized dongchimi stored at $4^{\circ}C\;(PS4)\;and\;37^{\circ}C\;(PS37)$ were compared with control $(stored\;at\;4^{\circ}C)$. PS4 and PS37 maintained their initial pH values during storage. Lactic acid bacteria, yeast and mold were not detected during storage in pressurized dongchimi. Pectinesterase, polygalacturonase activities and hardness of pressurized dongchimi decreased during storage. PS4 maintained its hardness longer than both control and PS37 during storage. The yellowness of PS37 was too high compared to control and PS4, indicating that storage of pressurized dongchimi at $37^{\circ}C$ was undesirable.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of ginsenoside contents and antioxidative activities from red ginseng after treated with high hydrostatic pressure (RGHHP). Crude saponin content in traditional red ginseng (TRG) and RGHHP were 21.93 and 27.29 mg/g, respectively. The contents of total phenolics, crude saponin and ginsenoside increased after treated with high hydrostatic pressure. TRG and RGHHP showed an increase 25.60% the highest content of Rb1 (14.10 mg/g and 17.71 mg/g). Also, Rg3 content compared with TRG and RGHHP increased 10.46%. The radical scavenging activity of hot water extract from red ginseng against the DPPH and ABTS radicals increased with the increasing amount of extract and RGHHP higher than TRG. The reducing power and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays of the red ginseng were increased in a dose dependent manner. The FRAP of TRG and RGHHP were 0.30 and 0.36 absorbance, respectively at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The present results suggest that RGHHP would have the protective potential from oxidative stress induced by free radicals.

Foxtail Millet Yakju were treated with heat ($65^{\circ}C$/15 min) or high hydrostatic pressure ($25^{\circ}C$ (RT) and $65^{\circ}C$ (HT)/400 MPa/10 min), and stored for 64 days at l$0^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and 37$^{\circ}C$. Changes in microbial counts, enzyme activity and quality of Yakju during storage were measured. Total viable cells were about 10$^2$ CFU/mL, and remained almost constant during storage at l$0^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, while decreased significantly at 37$^{\circ}C$, and undetected after 55 days of storage in heat- and pressure(RT)-treated, but after 25 days in pressure(HT)-treated Yakju. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast in heat- and pressure-treated Yakju were not detected during storage. The relative activities of a -amylase in heat- and pressure(RT)-treated were more than 100%, while those in pressure(HT)-treated were less than 40% during storage of 64 days at l$0^{\circ}C$. However, at $25^{\circ}C$ and 37$^{\circ}C$ the relative activities in untreated and pressure(RT)-treated were decreased greatly and then reached at the point of the activities of heat- and pressure(HT)-treated. The relative activities of glucoamylase in untreated and pressure(RT)-treated were decreased as the increase of the storage temperature during storage, while those in heat- and pressure(HT)-treated increased slightly as the increase of storage period at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, and had no change at 37$^{\circ}C$. pH in heat- and pressure-treated had almost no change. Turbidity and reducing sugar in heat- and pressure-treated increased as the increase of storage temperature during storage.

This study was performed to investigate the reduction of toxicity and improvement of anticancer activities from R. sachalinensis by ultra high pressure extracts process. The cytotoxicity on human kidney cell (HEK293) and human lung cell (HEL299) was showed below 20.4% and 21.6% as compare to normal extracts in adding 1.0 $mg/m{\ell}$ concentration. This showed that toxic materials through ultra high pressure processing is broken or degraded. Because bond such as hydrogen bond, electrostatic bond, Van der waals bond, the hydrophobic bond, can be broken by high pressure. The anticancer activity was also increased in over 7% by high pressure processing in A549, AGS, MCF-7 and Hep3B cells. The result showed that extraction by high pressure have low cytotoxicity and high anticancer activity. So, the high pressure extraction technology can play an important role in eruption of new material with high biological activity.

A combined treatment of high hydrostatic pressure and carbonation was used to inactivate pectinesterase (PE) and sterilize microorganisms in Valencia orange juice without major changes in its nutritive components. Quality characteristics of Valencia orange juice, such as microorganisms, PE activity, vitamin C content and color, were evaluated after it was treated with pressure, carbonation-and-pressure, and heat. Quality changes during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ after the treatments were also investigated. Pressurized orange juice (pressurized at 600 MPa for 10 min at $20^{\circ}C$) showed 7.0% residual PE activity, while the carbonated-and-pressurized orange juice (207 $kPa-CO_2$ gas pressure, pressurized at 600 MPa for 10 min at $20^{\circ}C$) showed 0%. Pressurization at 400 MPa or higher decreased the population of microorganisms in the orange juice to less than 10 CFU/mL. Carbonated-and-pressurized orange juice showed slight decrease in vitamin C content when stored at both $4^{\circ}C\;and\;30^{\circ}C$. While heat-treated ($90^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec) orange juice showed 75% decrease in vitamin C content when stored at $30^{\circ}C$. L value (lightness) and b value (yellowness) of carbonated-and-pressurized orange juice were higher than those of heat-treated orange juice when they were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 30 days.

Kochujang-gulbi, a Korean traditional food, was prepared with kochujang and freeze-dried gulbi slices. Kochujang-gulbi was treated with high hydrostatic pressure (200, 400 and 600 MPa) and gamma-irradiation (7, 10, 20 and 30 KGy) to improve its quality and shelf-life. The pH of high hydrostatic pressure and gamma-irradiation treated kochujang-gulbi samples did not significantly different compared to that of control. However, Hunter L value slightly increased, and Hunter a and b values decreased by high hydrostatic pressure and gamma-irradiation treatment. During storage, the pH and color of high hydrostatic pressure and gamma-irradiation treated kochujang-gulbi samples did not significantly changed. The VBN and TBA level decreased by the increase treatment of high hydrostatic pressure and then slowely increased during storage. The VBN and TBA level of kochujang-gulbi samples treated by the strong gamma ray emission slowely increased during storage. In particular, gamma-irradiation treatment was very effective to sterilize microorganisms when compared to that of high hydrostatic pressure in kochujang-gulbi products. In addition, the high hydrostatic pressure and gamma-irradiation treated kochujang-gulbi samples shown significantly lower total viable cell number than control for the 20 days of storage at room temperature with retort pouch packaging.

This study was conducted to examine changes in the microbial and physicochemical properties of single-brewed Makgeolli in response to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment during various fermentation stages. HHP was applied in 2-day intervals at 400 MPa for 5 min during fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. As a result, lactic acid bacteria showed 5~6 log reduction and reappeared at approximately 3~6 log cfu/mL as fermentation proceeded. Yeast also showed 5~6 log reduction but did not reappear during later fermentation period. HPP treatment did not result in any alcohol production on day 0 and 2. However, HPP treatment altered the pH and titratable acidity by reducing the number of microorganism. Reducing sugar contents of the samples increased continuously to 8.99% in 0 day treated sample and 5.01% in 2 day treated sample, whereas untreated Makgeolli contained 1.53% reducing sugars on 6 day due to alcohol conversion by yeast. Based on these results, HPP treatment during various fermentation stages altered the physicochemical properties of Makgeolli by changing the microbial community.
