  • Objectives : This study used a network pharmacology approach to explore the active compounds and therapeutic mechanisms of Yijin-tang on Meniere's disease. Methods : The active compounds of Yijin-tang were screened via the TCMSP database and their target proteins were screened via the STITCH database. The GeneCard was used to establish the Meniere's disease-related genes. The intersection targets were obtained through Venny 2.1.0. The related protein interaction network was constructed with the STRING database, and topology analysis was performed through CytoNCA. GO biological function analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis for core targets were performed through the ClueGO. Results : Network analysis identified 126 compounds in five herbal medicines of Yijin-tang. Among them, 15 compounds(naringenin, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, baicalein, baicalin, calycosin, dihydrocapsaicin, formononetin, glabridin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, mairin, quercetin, sitosterol, nobiletin) were the key chemicals. The target proteins were 119, and 7 proteins(TNF, CASP9, PARP1, CCL2, CFTR, NOS2, NOS1) were linked to Meniere's disease-related genes. Core genes in this network were TNF, CASP9, and NOS2. GO/KEGG pathway analysis results indicate that these targets are primarily involved in regulating biological processes, such as excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Conclusion : Pharmacological network analysis can help to explain the applicability of Yijin-tang on Meniere's disease.

  • The purpose of this study was to verify the drying characteristics of seasoned red pepper sauce and establish optimal drying conditions for far infrared drying of seasoned red pepper sauce. Seasoned red pepper sauce, which was dried by heated air, was used. One kg of seasoned red pepper was spread at thicknesses of 10 and 20 mm and dried by a far infrared dryer until a final moisture content of $15{\pm}0.5%$. The far infrared dryer conditions were air velocity of 0.6, 0.8 m/s and drying temperatures of 60, 70, and $80^{\circ}C$. The drying models were estimated using a determination coefficient and root mean square error. Drying characteristics were analyzed based on factors such as drying rate, color changes, content of capsaicinoids, and energy consumption. The results can be summarized as follows. The drying rate (that is, drying time) tended to be reduced as temperature and air velocity for drying increased. The Page and Henderson models were suitable for drying of seasoned red pepper sauce by a far infrared dryer. Redness decreased after far infrared drying under all experimental conditions. The color difference was 18.18 under the following conditions: thickness 20 mm, temperature $70^{\circ}C$, and air velocity 0.8 m/s. This value was slightly higher than those under other far infrared drying conditions. The capsaicinoid properties of seasoned red pepper sauce decreased under all far infrared drying conditions. The highest capsaicin (19.91 mg/100 g) and dihydrocapsaicin (12.87 mg/100 g) contents were observed at a thickness of 10 mm, temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. Energy consumption decreased with higher temperature, slower air velocity, and thinner seasoned red pepper sauce.

  • This study is to develop wine with germinated brown rice and red pepper (Capsicum annuum) and to make effective use of the rice and red pepper. The results of alcohol fermentation were as follows. pH 5.5 was decreased to 4.5$\sim$5.1 during fermentation. The total acidity was changed from 0.56% in initial fermentation to 0.96$\sim$1.42% in after fermentation. Reducing sugar was changed from 0.27% in initial fermentation to 1.33$\sim$1.40% at the end of the fermentation. The ethanol content was 16.6$\sim$17.0% at the end of the fermentation. The addition of 10$\sim$50% red pepper did not have influence on the fermentation. From Hunter's L, a, and b values, a (redness) and b (yellowness) value were increased according to content of red pepper addition. The major volatiles were ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-butanol and benzeneethanol. Capsaicin content in the samples of red pepper addition was the highest in 50% and the lowest in 10%. In sensory evaluation, the wine with 20% red pepper had the highest acceptance scores in all of the properties examined than those of other samples.

  • This study was conducted to determine the effect of low temperature and low radiation conditions on the yield and quality of hot pepper at an early growth stage in Korea. In plastic greenhouses, low temperature, low temperature with covered shading treatments were set 17 to 42 days after transplanting. The pepper growing degree days decreased by 5.5% due to the low temperature during the treatment period. Radiation decreased by 74.7% due to the covered shading. After commencing treatments, pepper plant growth decreased with low temperature and low radiation. Analysis of the yield showed that the first harvest was delayed by low radiation. The cumulative yields of 119 days after transplanting were 1,956, 2,171, and 2,018 g/㎡ for control, low temperature, and low temperature with low radiation respectively. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin concentrations in pepper fruit decreased with low temperature and low radiation. To investigate the photosynthetic characteristics according to the treatment, the carbon dioxide reaction curve was analyzed using the biochemical model of photosynthesis. Results showed that the maximum photosynthetic rate, Vcmax (maximum carboxylation rate), J (electric transportation rate), and TPU (triose phosphate utilization) decreased at low temperatures; the maximum photosynthetic rate, J, and gm (dark respiration rate) were reduced by shading. These results indicate that low temperature and low radiation can retard early growth, yield, and quality, but these can also be recovered 119 days after planting. Based on the results, the yield and quality of pepper can recover from abiotic stresses with proper cultivation.

  • The quality characteristics of semi-dry red pepper (SDRP) (Capsicum annuum L.) were compared with raw and dry red pepper (DRP). Raw red pepper was divided into pieces and the semi-drying treatment involved air-drying at $65^{\circ}C$. The study focused on describing the characteristics of semi-dry red pepper in comparison with dry red pepper. Factors considered were reduced drying period, ASTA color, capsanthin, capsaicinoids, free sugars and vitamin C content. ASTA color, capsanthin, capsaicinoids, free sugars and vitamin C content of SDRP were higher in SDRP than in DRP for 15 g or less water per 100 g. Red pepper powders made using the semi-drying method showed the highest amount of glucose and vitamin C. Capsanthin content in SDRP (151.6155.9 mg/100 g) was significantly higher than for DRP (133.4 mg/100 g). The capsaicinoid content of SDRP was about 13-25% higher than in DRP. The ASTA values (148.7159.3) for SDRP were much higher than for DRP (139.5). The vitamin C and free sugar content of SDRP was 40-76% and 20-40% higher, respectively, than for DRP. and $20{\sim}40%$, respectively, by SDRP compared to DRP.

  • This study aimed to investigate the activities of phytochemical and bioactive components from 24 new varieties of red pepper obtained by crossbreeding different Korean red pepper lines. The ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) color values ranged from 116.69 to 249.83 and the total carotenoid content ranged from 3.19 to 6.11 mg/g dried red pepper. The free sugar content ranged from 43.41 to 199.54 mg/g, and the fructose content was found to be higher than the glucose content. The ascorbic acid, total polyphenol, and flavonoid contents were found to be 8.08-11.53 mg/g, 7.93-14.26 mg gallic acid/g, and 4.24-10.07 mg quercetin/g dried pepper, respectively. Overall, the total polyphenol contents of the new varieties were found to be higher than the average content of Korean red peppers. The total capsaicinoid content in the new varieties varied widely from 0.42 to 237.87 mg/100 g dried pepper. The pepper-methanol extract antioxidant activities of 'variety 2, 4, 8, 9' were higher than others. A high correlation was observed between the antioxidant activities and the polyphenol contents (r=0.804, r=0.701).

  • This study investigatedthe quality of mashed red pepper after application of various freezing and thawing conditions. Two freezing temperatures ($-70^{\circ}C$, $-10^{\circ}C$), two thawing temperatures ($0^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$), and two thawing methods (water-thawing, air-thawing), were employed. Changes in levels of capsaicinoids, vitamin C, free sugars, organic acids, and capsanthin were measured. Capsaicinoids, vitamin C,and free sugar contents were lowest in pepper treated at $-10^{\circ}C/40^{\circ}C$ (freezing/thawing), and the loss rates were 38.0, 79.4 and 24.6%, respectively. When thawing methods were compared, chemical contents were higher in air-thawed samples than in water-thawed peppers, but there was a statistically significant difference only in vitamin C content. Free sugar content after $-70^{\circ}C$ freezing were higher than after $-10^{\circ}C$ freezing, irrespective of the thawing method used. Initial citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid contents were 44.90, 30.76 and 20.65 mg/100 g, and there was no significant difference between peppers treated with different freezing and thawing conditions. It is recommended that the best method for preserving the overall quality of mashed red pepper is freezing at $-70^{\circ}C$ and thawing at $0^{\circ}C$ in air.
