This study was conducted to evaluate changes of microbial population, pepsin digestibility of protein and in vitro digestibility of nutrients of food waste mixture pasteurized and cured using a rotary drum system. A pasteurization process (30 min at $80^{\circ}C$) tended to decrease microbial populations and eliminated (P<0.05) molds in food waste mixture. The subsequent curing process increased (P<0.05) lactic acid bacteria counts which were reduced by the heated pasteurization process. The heated pasteurization process decreased (P<0.05) pepsin digestibility of protein in food waste mixture. In vitro digestibilities of dry matter and organic matter were high in the order of bakery by-product, wheat bran, food waste (=barley bran). These results indicate that food waste mixture pasteurized and cured using a semi-dehydration rotary drum system may be an effective animal feed resource.

This study focuses on the qualitative characteristics of mackerel marinated with herb extracts. By differentiating the amounts of garlic, ginger and basil, the optimal amount of each ingredient to he added has been found. According to the result of the experiment, the highest level of preference has been shown for the combination of 3% of garlic, 3% of ginger and 2% of basil, generating the optimal amounts to be added. Since the pH change shown by the mackerel marinated by adding the optimal combination of 3% of garlic, 3% of ginger and 2% of basil is included in the range of pH 6.2-6.4, which is the initial point of decomposition for red-fleshed fish, it can be considered to be appropriate for the qualitative characteristics of the product. According to the differences test, GA3 bas shown the lowest level of strength, making it soft. Also, GA3 has shown the highest level of elasticity together with the characteristic of being moist. As a result, it can be said that garlic is better than ginger and basil. According to the preference test, GA3 has shown the highest level of preference in terms of appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall preference. By considering the above results of the experiment, GA3 (3% of garlic) can be regarded as the optimal amount to be added.

In order to utilize squid liver by-products, which is normally discarded as industrial waste in the process of squid manufacturing, salt-fermented squid liver sauce was prepared experimentally and also tested for inhibitory activity against angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibitory activity of squid liver sauce was increased with the elapse of fermentation days until 12 months, followed by a constant level of inhibitory activity thereafter. 15-month-old sauce ($IC_{50}=29.66\;{\mu}g$) was filtered through PM-10 membrane (M.W. cut-off 10,000 Da) to obtain the peptides fractions with ACE inhibition activity. Filtered fractions were applied to a Bio-gel P-2 column and three active fractions (A, B and C) were collected. Among them, fraction B applied to a SuperQ-Toyopearl 650S column chromatography lead to the isolation of active B-1 fraction. It has the ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}=5.46\;{\mu}g$). The main composition of its amino acids is lysine, glycine and proline, which cover about 85% of the total amino acids.

The peptides from Aroase AP10 enzymatic hydrolysates of octopus proteins were isolated and tested for inhibitory activity against angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). The Aroase AP10 hydrolysates were filtered through PM-10 membrane (M.W. cut-off 10,000) to obtain the peptides fractions with ACE inhibition activity. These fractions were applied to a Biogel P-2 column. Three active fractions (A, B, and C) were collected and applied to a SuperQ-Toyopearl 650S column chromatography, leading to the isolation of four active fractions (A-1, A-2, B-1, and C-1). Among the active fractions, C-1 had the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}=3.10{\mu}g$). The main composition of its amino acids is arginine, lysine, histidine and leucine, which cover about 60% of the total amino acids.

Control of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia is strongly correlated with decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, the most common and fatal diabetic complication. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of garlic and aged black garlic on glycemic control and blood lipid profile in animal model of type 2 diabetes. Three week-old db/db mice (C57BL/Ks, n=21) were fed AIN-93G semipurified diet or diet containing 5% freeze-dried garlic or aged black garlic for 7 weeks after 1 week of adaptation. Fasting serum glucose, insulin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol and blood glycated hemoglobin were measured. Body weight and food intake of garlic and aged black garlic group were not significantly different from those of the control group. Fasting serum glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin levels were significantly decreased and insulin level was significantly increased in garlic group compared with control group (p<0.05). Consumption of aged black garlic significantly decreased homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and tended to decrease serum glucose. Garlic consumption significantly decreased total cholesterol, while aged black garlic significantly reduced serum total cholesterol and triglyceride and increased HDL-cholesterol levels. These results suggest that garlic exerts hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effect and aged black garlic improved insulin sensitivity and dyslipidemia in db/db mice.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Inflammation is associated with various types of acute and chronic alcohol liver diseases. In this study, we examined whether umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin, UF) ameliorates chronic alcohol-induced liver damage by modulating inflammatory response and the antioxidant system. METHODS: Rats were fed a Liber-Decarli liquid diet containing 5% alcohol with or without UF (0.05 g/L) for 8 weeks, while normal rats received an isocaloric carbohydrate liquid diet. RESULTS: Chronic alcohol intake significantly increased serum tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interleukin 6 levels and decreased interleukin 10 level; however, UF supplementation reversed the cytokines related to liver damage. UF significantly suppressed hepatic lipopolysaccharide binding protein, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor kappa B, and TNF-${\alpha}$ gene expression increases in response to chronic alcohol intake. Masson's trichrome staining revealed that UF improved mild hepatic fibrosis caused by alcohol, and UF also significantly increased the mRNA expressions and activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in liver, and thus, decreased lipid peroxide and mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide levels. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study indicate that UF protects against alcohol-induced liver damage by inhibiting the TLR4 signaling pathway and activating the antioxidant system.

The sauce is very important to western dishes and also to value and relish of dishes because taste, appearance and the degree of water content are determined by sauce. Also, the taste derived from major sauce like a demi-glace and the basic sauce that affects cooking quality are highly recognized, but preference analyses of source and researches on each ingredients have not been performed up to now. Until today, sauces act as lubricants which add relish to dishes and aid digestion, so the importance of source is more emphasized to raise the taste, appearance, water content and specially healthy function of main ingredients. In this research, some problems of sauce itself and possibilities of improvement was grasped and then some remedies were suggested through the preference, variety and quantity analyses of demi-glace sauce practically used in hotels and restaurants around Gwang-Ju City and South Jeolla(Chon-Nam) Province. Finally, the volume of demi-glace sauce with various ingredients was suggested for various kinds of application. Through the actual proof analysis, preference of each sauce made from various kinds of ingredients was investigated. The result shows that the sauce made from beef bone is highly preferred, followed by pork bone and lamb bone. The least preferred is chicken bone.

This study investigates the level of customers' preferences for the menu at rice cake cafes. The study aims at examining the potential of restaurants with rice cake dishes and suggesting the ways to contribute to the potential. For this study, various rice cake cafes in Seoul which were often mentioned in the Internet portal sites and mass media are selected such as Jilsilu, Midan, Yaemunbyeonggwa, and Howeondang. Some of the customers in these rice cake cafes from August 16th to 26th in 2005 are the participants in this study. Using Windows SPSS 11.0 for statistical analysis, the validity of the items in the questionnaire is tested through Cronbach's Alpha which also reveals the internal reliability. Variables are analysed to eliminate less important variables. In order to examine the differences between groups by norm population profiles, t-test and ANOVA are conducted. For obtaining the degree of impact of rice cake cafe preference variables on the satisfaction in the rice cake cafe, regression analysis is carried out. As a result, for preferences for dishes, 19 variables among 22 are identified and divided into four factors which are named as 1) fundamental factor, 2) external factor, 3) appearance factor, and 4) structural factor. The fundamental factor, external factor, appearance factor, and structural factor are all significantly influential to the level of satisfaction with the menu, yet the fundamental factor is the most powerful factor among them.
