This study was designed to investigate the effect on treatments of garlic and the improvement of lipids in dietary-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Rats were administrated 1% cholesterol to induce hyperlipidemia and were fed diets containing fresh garlic powder (FGP), steamed garlic powder (SGP) and black garlic powder (BGP) by 3% (w/w) for 4 weeks. Body weight gain and food efficiency was not significantly different between control and garlic powder fed groups. Liver weight was significantly higher in control and SGP fed groups. Blood glucose was decreased in FGP and BGP fed groups than control group. The concentration of total lipid was significantly decreased in BGP group. Total cholesterol and triglyceride of serum were significantly lower in garlic powder fed groups than control group. HDL-cholesterol was significantly higher, LDL-, and VLDL-cholesterol were significantly lower in the garlic powder fed groups than the control group. Activities of serum GOT was lower in SGP fed group than control group. Total hepatic lipid and cholesterol concentration were conspicuously decreased by garlic powder fed groups. TBARS concentration of liver was significant different for the added garlic powder administration. Antioxidant activity of liver tended to increase in garlic powder fed groups compared with control group. In this result, we suggest the preventive effect of black garlic against the atherosclerotic process and the improvement of hyperlipidemia through the removal of cholesterol.

The extraction yield and storage stability of Codium fragile pigments extracted in acetone, ethanol or methanol were studied. Methanol was the most effective solvent for pigment extraction, providing an extraction yield of $25.0{\pm}2.10\;mg/g$ (my base). As shown by TLC and HPLC analysis, chlorophyll a(0.40 mg/g) and chlorophyll b(1.94 mg/g) were the major pigment components in dried Codium fragile. The total chlorophyll content of Codium fragile stored a 40C in light or dark conditions for 30 weeks remained at 23.2% and 58.4% respectively. The effect of metal ions ($Cu^{++}$, $Zn^{++}$, $Fe^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$) on pigment stability was analyzed Among the four metal ions $Cu^{++}$ was the most effective stabilizer of Codium fragile pigments during storage, and $Zn^{++}$ ion was the second most effective. In the presence of 1 mM $Cu^{++}$, the total chlorophyll retained in Codium fragile stored at 40C in light or dark conditions was increased to 47.0% and 88.8% after 30 weeks storage, respectively. The optimum concentrations of $Zn^{++}$ and $Cu^{++}$ for pigment stabilization under dark conditions were 0.5 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively.

This study aims to examine the quality characteristics of bread by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. there bas been increasingly higher interest in functional foods. According to the results, after analyzing mixograph, of the dough by using mixograph, the bread containing black garlic powder was considered to be most suitable for making bread As for stickiness of the dough with black garlic powder added, the higher black garlic powder was added, the more the bread becomes sticky. BG 6(i.e. bread with 6% of black garlic powder) had the highest fermentation rate for 60-minute fermentation period(i.e. first fermentation). Analysis through crumbScan showed that there were significant differences in crumb fineness between the control and bread with addition of black garlic powder, showing no significant difference by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. As for the volume and specific volume of bread with addition of black garlic powder, the more black garlic powder, the less volume and specific volume. Preference test showed that BG 6 got the best appearance and taste, in overall preference, BG 6 and BG 9(i.e. bread with 9% of black garlic powder) showed the same degree. However, BG 6 is considered the optimum addition of black garlic powder to reduce the production costs in the numerical respect.

This study aimed to determine the physicochemical and sensory qualities of yogurt dressing prepared with Bokbunja juice(0, 10, 20, 30 and 40%). As the amount of added Bokbunja juice increased, contents of organic acids(citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and acetic acid) increased. The viscosity of the control group(8306.67 cP) was higher than those of the others(1633.33~6913.33 cP). The pH of the control group(3.96) was higher than those of the others(3.90~3.85). The sweetness of the control group(14.43) was lower than 10% Bokbunja juice added group(14.93). Color L decreased significantly, whereas a value and b value increased significantly with more Bokbunja juice added. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 5.84%, whereas those of yogurt dressing samples with Bokbunja juice ranged from 39.72~88.17%. The sensory property results showed that yogurt dressing with 30% Bokbunja juice added group had the highest value in terms of color, flavor, taste, mouth feel, and overall acceptability. Overall, the result of this study indicates that the yogurt dressing containing 30% of Bokbunja juice was most preferred among the groups.

As an alternative of yeast, various concentrations to prepare hypo-allergenic bread (HAB). Addition of sodium bicarbonate increased $CO_2$ emission, but at higher than 2.0% caused bitter taste compared to other mixtures. Addition of sucrose significantly increased $CO_2$ emission. HABs 7 ($NaHCO_3$ 2.0g+sucrose 0.63 g) and 8 ($NaHCO_3$ 2.0g+sucrose 1.0g) showed higher grain and color scores. HAB 5 ($NaHCO_3$ 1.5g+sucrose 1.0g) and 6 ($NaHCO_3$ 1.5g+sucrose 2.0g) gave higher aroma and taste scores. HAB 5 showed significantly higher overall acceptability (p<0.05) score than others, whereas HABs 7 and 8, regardless of high external sensory qualities, showed lower overall acceptabilities than HAB 5 due to bitter taste. Prototypical HAB was obtained using wheat flour (100g) and water (62mL) incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr for treatment of b.p pretense (100mg) before adding sodium bicarbonate (1.5%), sucrose (1.0%), NaCl (1.0%), and citric acid (1.0%).

Physicochemical quality characteristics of seed mashes were investigated for development of new creative breadmaking in bakery. Aridity of seed mashes fermented with Koji, lactic acid bacteria, and baker's yeast was slightly lower than those fermented with Koji and yeast. ${\alpha}-Amylase$, saccharifying amylase, and acidic protease activities of seed mash composed of water (560 mL) and Koji (400 g) were 0.26 SKB, 36 SP, and 645 HUT/g, respectively. Reducing sugar content of seed mash made with Koji increased up to 13.04% after 36 hr fermentation, then decreased drastically thereafter, whereas that of seed mashes made with Koji, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria increased up to 6.5% at 6 hr, decreased to 1 to 2.5% at 12 hr, and remained less than 0.7% after 18 hr fermentation. Total organic acid contents were 10.4-12.25mg/mL. Flavor compounds including ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, isoamyl acetate, and p-vinyl guaiacol were detected in seed mash fermented with Koji, yeast, and L. brevis. These results show use of seed mash fermented with Koji, S. cerevisiae, and lactic acid bacteria enhances bread flavor.

UV-protection skin whitening and immune activities several parts of Acer mono and Acer okamotoanum were investigated. The bark of both Acer mono and Acer okamotoanum had higher yields than other parts as 2.67% and 2.45%. The cytotoxicity of the extracts were lower than 21.64% against human skin cell(CCD-986sk) line in adding 1.0 mg/mL of the highest concentration. The bark extracts of Acer mono greatly reduced the expression of MMP-1 on UV-irradiated CCD-986sk cells down to as 30%. At 1.0 mg/mL of bark extration of Acer mono, $PGE_2$ expression was also significantly decreased. Generally, the bark extracts of Acer mono and Acer okamotoanum had higher activity than other parts, but, interestingly, wood extract of Acer okamotoanum showed strong inhibition effect on melanin production by Clone-M3 cells as 79.25%. From these results, we could conclude that the bark extract from Acer mono and Acer okamotoanum had skin-whitening activity as well immune enhancement activity.

We investigated a method to improve anticancer activities of Acer mono wood extracts by ultra high pressure extraction process. The A. mono was extracted by water at $40^{\circ}C$ and 300 MPa for 15 min (High Pressure Extraction, HPE). The extraction yield by ultra high pressure extraction process was 5.42%. The cytotoxicity on human normal lung cell (HEL299) of the extracts from HPE showed 21.54% lower than that from conventional water extraction at $100^{\circ}C$ in adding the maximum concentration of 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$. Ultra high pressure extracts process for 15 minutes extracts (HPE15) showed more potent scavenging effect than the control, BHA. On SOD-like test, the HPE15 showed highest activity as 32.4% at 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$ concentration. Human stomach adenocarcinoma, liver adenocarcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma cell growth were inhibited up to about 67~79%, in adding 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$ of extracts from HPE. HPE was 20~25% higher than conventional water extraction. It was interesting that, among several cancer cell lines (stomach adenocarcinoma, liver adenocarcinoma), the growth of digestive related cancer cells were most effectively inhibited as about 75~79%. On in vivo experiment using ICR mice, the variation of body weight of mice group treated A. mono wood extracts from HPE of 100 mg/kg/day concentration was very lower than control and other group. The survival times of group treated this extracts was 61.96% longer than that of the control group and this extracts showed the lower tumor weight, which were 10.49 g than positive control as 16.17 g. Based on these results, we could tell that the HPE wood extracts of A. mono had higher anticancer activity than conventional water extraction. The results of HPE showed obvious advantages in higher efficiency, shorter extraction time, at lower energy costs.

To obtain basic data for the utilization of saltwort (Salicornia herbacea L.) as a functional ingredient in steamed foam cake, the optimum component ratios for major raw ingredients (saltwort, salt, and wheat flour) as independent variables that affect the product quality were scientifically determined using RSM (response surface methodology) technique. A three-factor and five-level rotational central composite design was used for treatment arrangement. The complete design consisted of 16 experimental points. The three independent variables selected for the RSM experiment were amounts of saltwort (X$_1$, 5${\sim}$25 g), salt (X$_2$, 0${\sim}$10 g), and wheat flour (X$_3$, 470${\sim}$530 g). The optimum responses in specific gravity of the batter and volume, color, texture, and sensory evaluation result of the cake were obtained. The specific gravity and viscosity of the batter at p<0.01 was verified from the regression curve. The characteristic of the batter was influenced by all independent variables, but was extremely dependent on the amount of saltwort ordinary points of the surface responses from the batter formed the minimum points for specific gravities of the batter while viscosities of the batter appeared with the saddle points. Analysis of the response indicated that the amount of saltwort was the most influential factor over the physical properties of the cake, among the dependent variables. Ordinary points of the surface responses from the cake formed the maximum points for loaf volume, hardness gumminess, and chewiness, while Hunter colorimetric parameters appeared with the saddle points. The result indicated that level of the saltwort deviating more or less from the optimal amount decreased the volume and increased the specific gravity with less tender product. Ordinary points of the surface responses of the sensory evaluation scores from the cake formed the maximum points for appearance, flavor, softness, and overall acceptability, while color values appeared with the saddle points. The result also indicated that the level of the saltwort deviating more or less from the optimal amount reduced the preference for the product. Integration of the optimum responses common to all dependent variables that overlapped all the contour maps finally indicated that the combination of 8.3${\sim}$13.8 g saltwort, 2.5${\sim}$6.6 g salt, and 486.5${\sim}$511.5 g wheat flour under the selected preparation recipe optimized the physical and sensory properties in the teamed foam cakes. Practical preparation of the product with median amounts of the ingredients, i.e., 11.0 g saltwort, 4.6 g salt, and 499.0 g wheat flour resulted in similar qualities to the predicted responses. In conclusion, these study results indicated that preparation of steamed foam cake with added saltwort ingredient could potentially produce a more nutritious product with less salt. Further research is required to acquire the optimum levels for sub-ingredients to improve the product quality.

The antioxidant activity of shared fresh, steamed, and black garlic on soybean oil was assessed at levels of 0, 5, 10, 20, 0 g/100 g, respectively, and these samples were stored for 28 days at $60^{\circ}C$. The color of the oil was increased during torage. The anisidine value was increased dramatically at 14 days of storage, after which it continually increased. The cid values of the samples to which fresh and steamed garlic were added did not differ significantly, but were increased n proportion to the sample concentration after 14 days of storage in the samples to which black garlic was added. The peroxide value was lower in the samples to which shred garlic was added, as compared to the samples to which ${\alpha}$ -tocopherol and BHT were added. Garlic had an inhibitory effect on peroxides when the sample volume was larger. The TBA value was increased during storage and was inhibited with larger volumes of added shred garlic. After 28 days of storage, the TBA volumes of all samples were lower than those of the controls (335.63), with the exception of the sample to which 5 g/100 g of steamed garlic was added, particular, the shred garlics evidenced more profound antioxidant activity in the 40 g/100 g added samples than in the sample to which 0.02% BHT was added.
