The purpose of this research was the optimization of Cirsium setidens blanched at various conditions by response surface methodology. Conducted to investigate the change of Cirsium setidens DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic compounds and flavonoids during the blanching processes. With two parameters such as blanching time and temperature, response surface methodology and central composite design was used to study the combined effect of blanching time (70 to 170 seconds) and blanching temperature (70 to $99^{\circ}C$). The changes of DPPH radical scavenging activity, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids on blanching process conditions such as temperature and time were evaluated. After blanching, total phenolic compound was determined from 13.00 to 35.48 mg/ml. total flavonoids was determined from 2.31 to 8.38 mg/ml. DPPH radical scavenging activity was determined from 42.10 to 67.14 %. The optimum conditions were determined to be blanching temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ and blanching time of 150 sec.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) conditions for electron-donating ability, total phenol content, and total flavonoid content of Ligustrum lucidum Aiton. Ligustrum lucidum Aiton from different regions was tested, and Ligustrum lucidum Aiton from Haenam was chosen due to its higher total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity compared to the other samples. Central composite design was used to optimize extraction of Ligustrum lucidum Aiton from Haenam as well as determine the effects of extraction temperature ($X_1$) and extraction time ($X_2$) on dependent variables ($Y_n$). Determination coefficients ($R^2$) of the regression equations for dependent variables ranged from 0.8858 to 0.9517. The optimum points were $131.68^{\circ}C$ for extraction temperature and 5.49 min for extraction time. Predicted values of the optimized conditions were acceptable when compared to experimental values.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal roasting temperature (90, 100, 110, and 120; fixed time of 20 minutes) of small black coffee beans under various roasting conditions. The roasting temperature range and fixed time were the same as our preceding study. After roasting, the general composition, isoflavone contents, and antioxidant activities were measured. As the results of the proximate composition analysis of small black beans according to roasting conditions, only moisture decreased among them, whereas other general compositions were not affected. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were the highest at a roasting temperature of $120^{\circ}C$. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were also highest at $120^{\circ}C$. Isoflavone contents showed a positive correlation with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, as well as total phenol and flavonoid contents. These results suggest that the optimal roasting conditions of small black beans were determined to be $120^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes.

Contents of phenolics, flavonoids, and catechins, and antioxidant activity were investigated in the ethanol extracts of three different flower species, Magnolia denudata, Prunus mume, Carthamus tinctorius. Total phenolics were more present in M. denudata than P. mume or C. tinctorius, ranging from 72.6 to 118.0 mg/kg (p < 0.05). Total flavonoids level had same tendency to total phenolics content, showing highest amount (25.1 mg/kg) in M. denudata. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extracts from all the flowers dose-dependently increased. DPPH free radical scavenging activity at 250 mg/kgwas higher in M. denudata and P. mume by 93.0 and 92.6%, respectively, than C. tinctorius by 23.0% (p < 0.05). Total catechins content including 6 compounds was higher in M. denudate (9,425.5 mg/kg) than that in P. mume or C. tinctorius (3,407.8 or 190.6 mg/kg). However, P. mume extracts showed highest amount in caffeine as well as vitamine C. DPPH radical scavenging activity in three different flowers was highly correlated with contents of total phenolics ($r^2=0.7994$), total flavonoids ($r^2=0.9131$), and total catechins ($r^2=0.5929$), and their content and activities were different depending on species.

The genus Lespedeza belonging to Leguminosae is an annual or perennial herb, which has been used as a Chinese herbal medicine. Antioxidant activity on DPPH ((1,1)-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylenebenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals and the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were analyzed with 12 methanol extracts from six Lespedeza genus plants with different plant parts. The highest content of total polyphenol was detected in the leaves of Lespedeza$\times$robusta (194.6 mg GAE/g), while the highest content of total flavonoid existed in the aerial part of Lespedeza thunbergii var. intermedia (47.9 mg QE/g). Generally, the amounts of polyphenol and flavonoid compounds were higher in the leaves than in the stems. The $SC_{50}$ value of DPPH radical scavenging activity ranged from 10.16 to 90.94 ppm, of which the strongest activity was determined in the leaves of L. robusta. Most ABTS radical scavenging activities from the investigated methanol extracts were higher than that of L-ascorbic acid, implying the excellent antioxidant activity. The radical scavenging activity in this study showed high correlation with the amount of total polyphenol rather than that of total flavonoid. These data suggest that the methanol extracts from these Lespedeza spp. could be potential candidates for natural antioxidants.

In this study, we determined total polyphenol content(TPC) and total flavonoid content(TFC) of extracts from Korean cabbage and cabbage using a spectrophotometric method as well as glucosinolates concentration by HPLC. TPCs of Korean cabbage and cabbage extracts were 308.48 ${\mu}g$ GAE/g dry weight and 344.75 ${\mu}g$ GAE/g dry weight, respectively. TFCs of Korean cabbage and cabbage extracts were 5.33 ${\mu}g$ QE/g dry weight and 5.95 ${\mu}g$ QE/g dry weight, respectively. We found six different glucosinolates, namely progoitrin, glucoalyssin, gluconapin, glucobrassicanapin, glucobrassicin and 4-methoxyglucobrassicin in the Korean cabbage extract. In the cabbage extract, there was four glucosinolates, namely glucoraphanin, sinigrin, glucobrassicin and 4-methoxyglucobrassicin. We determined the cytotoxic effect of Korean cabbage and cabbage extracts in AGS human stomach cancer cells, HepG2 human hepatic cancer cells and LNCaP human prostate cancer cells by MTT assay. Dose-dependent relationships were found between the extract concentrations and cancer cell growth inhibition. The overall results support that both Korean cabbage and cabbage, the major vegetables in Korea, contain bioactive compounds such as polypheol, flavonoids as well as glucosinolates and they may play a positive role in cancer prevention.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual glucosinolate (GSL), total phenol, total flavonoid, and vitamin C content, and antioxidant activity under various light quality condition, mainly focusing on red (R) to far-red (FR) light ratios in three Brassica sprouts (radish, Chinese cabbage, and broccoli). Three R/FR ratio of 0.6, 1.3, and 2.0 were exposed to 5-day old sprouts for 48 h in a controlled environment, and the targeted phytochemical contents and antioxidant activities were compared with three separate control plot of dark, fluorescent, and red:blue 8:2 conditions. Total GSL content was highest in broccoli among the cultivars throughout the respective treatments, and increased with the increasing of R/FR ratio in the broccoli sprouts, while the content showed non-significant results in the Chinese cabbage sprouts. The progoitrin, a major GSL in Chinese Cabbage and broccoli, content decreased by upto 38% and 69%, respectively, with decreasing the R/FR ratio compared to the control plots (fluorescent, red:blue 8:2, and dark condition). The contents of phenol, flavonoid, and vitamin C were lowest in dark condition in all the three Brassica sprouts. The total phenol content and antioxidant activities increased with decreasing the R/FR ratio in all the Brassica sprouts, while total flavonoid and vitamin C content showed different patterns depending upon the Brassica sprouts. These results suggest that additional use of FR is expected to improve the functional quality of Brassica sprouts in different ways.
