The seaweed Hizikia fusiformis is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. We investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng made with agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) of H. fusiformis powder. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of the yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture and sugar contents of the yanggaeng did not change despite increasing the amount of H. fusiformis. The pH decreased with increasing H. fusiformis. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of H. fusiformis. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing H. fusiformis content. The antioxidant activity of the yanggaeng increased with the concentration of the H. fusiformis powder. The yanggaeng containing 2% H. fusiformis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. The addition of H. fusiformis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

The objective of this study was to optimize the conditions for enhancing the antioxidant properties of sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) as a coffee substitute in two processing methods, roasting and grinding. The optimum conditions for removing off-flavor of the bean and maximizing functionality and efficiency were light roasting and cryogenic grinding (< 53 ㎛). In these conditions, extraction yield was 16.75%, total phenolic content (TPC) was 69.82 ± 0.35 mg gallic acid equivalents/g, and total flavonoid content (TFC) was 168.81 ± 1.64 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g. The antioxidant properties were 77.58 ± 0.27% for DPPH radical scavenging activity and 58.02 ± 0.76 mg Trolox equivalents/g for ABTS radical scavenging activity. The values for TFC and ABTS radical scavenging activity were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in other conditions, and TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity were second highest in lightly roasted beans, following raw beans. HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis confirmed that the amino acids and carbohydrates, which are the main components of sword bean, were condensed into other volatile flavor compounds, such as derivatives of furan, pyrazine, and pyrrole during roasting. Roasted and cryogenically ground (cryo-ground) sword beans showed higher functionality in terms of TFC, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging activities compared to those of coffee. Overall results showed that light roasting and cryogenic grinding are the most suitable processing conditions for enhancing the bioactivity of sword beans.

Glucose, trehalose, and glycogen content were measured in haemolymph and the body during larval development of the oriental corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis ($Guen\'{e}e$). Glucose content varied in haemolymph, but in the body it gradually decreased at all larval stages. As the larva proceeds growth, the initial high level of trehalose increased further in haemolymph whereas the low level trehalose gradually decreased in the body. Glycogen levels in haemolymph rose gradually during larval growth whereas those in the body increased sharply at the two latter instar larval stages. It is apparent that the existence of a homeostasis in carbohydrate levels between haemolymph ana the body.

Improper disposal of herb residues in China has caused severe problems to the surrounding environment and human safety. Three herb residues, i.e., compound Kushen injection residues (CKI) and part one and part two of Qizhitongluo Capsule residues (QC1 and QC2, respectively), were used for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. The effect of the supplementation of corncobs (CC) with different herb residues on yield, nutritional composition, and antioxidant activity of P. ostreatus was investigated. Compared to the control, the higher mycelial growth rate was observed on substrates CC +30% CKI and CC +30% QC1, while the higher yield was obtained from substrates CC +30% QC2 and CC +30% CKI. Moreover, chemical analysis of fruit bodies revealed that the addition of herb residues to CC significantly increased proteins, amino acids, ashes, minerals (Na and Ca), and total phenolic contents but significantly reduced carbohydrates and $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radicals. In addition, no heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and As) were detected in the fruiting bodies harvested from different substrate combinations. These results demonstrated that mixtures of CC with herb residues might be utilized as a novel, practical, and easily available substrate for the cultivation of P. ostreatus, which is beneficial for the effective management of herb residues.

This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the nutrient contributions of the five meal components of school lunch menus planned for elementary students in two school districts (District A and B) in the Midwestern state of the United States. The 4-week cycle menu was planned for two time periods (Period 1 and Period 2) following guidelines for NuMenus and general menu planning principles. Menu components of planned and served menus for two time periods were analyzed using $Nutri-Kids^{TM}$. No significant differences in the nutrient content of between Periods 1 and 2 were found for District A. District B served significantly more vitamin A and total fat in Period 1 and significantly more calories, iron, vitamin A, protein, and total fat in Period 2 than was planned. The major nutrients provided by the entree component included protein, calories, cholesterol, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium. Milk was an important source of calcium and provided approximately one-third of the total protein and vitamin A in the meal. The vegetable/fruit component was the major source of vitamins A and C. The grain/bread component provided approximately 20% of the carbohydrates among five meal components. The miscellaneous component affected the sodium and fat content of the menus. Menu planners can use the results of this study to enhance their knowledge of the nutrient contributions of each meal component and as inputs for planning menus that meet children's nutritional requirements.

This study was conducted to investigate the noodle added with Pachyrhizus erosus powder. Total contents of carbohydrates, crude protein, crude lipid, ash, and total dietary fiber were 87.14%, 3.14%, 0.81%, 7.82%, and 49.12%, respectively. The water-binding capacity was significantly increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. When the volume of the noodles was measured after cooking, there was no difference between the control and Pachyrhizus erosus powder groups. The texture characteristics of hardness increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. As a result of the sensory test, the 1.5% Pachyrhizus erosus powder noodles showed the highest scores for all items including appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. The bacterial counts of noodle decreased with greater Pachyrhizus erosus powder content on the third days. It is considered that research on antimicrobial activity should proceed in the future. As a result, it was finally suggested that optimum level of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder in the product was 1.5% level.
