In this study, the electron donating ability(EDA) and total polyphenol content of herbal wine were examined. The herbal wine was obtained from extract concentration to evaluate its functional properties. The herbal wine were screened for their potential antioxidant activities using test such as electron donating ability(EDA) and total polyphenol content. The electron donating ability(EDA) were $21.81{\pm}0.56$ in herbal wine 15% and $40.45{\pm}1.60$ in herbal wine 35%. As the extract concentration was increased the electron donating ability(EDA) were significantly increased(p<0.05). The total polyphenol contents were measures $113.89{\pm}1.79{\mu}g\;GAE/m{\ell}$ in herbal wine 15%, $274.24{\pm}0.71{\mu}g\;GAE/m{\ell}$ in herbal wine 35%. As the extract concentration was increased the total polyphenol contents were significantly increased(p<0.05). Also, the total polyphenol contents were measures $61.75{\mu}g\;GAE/m{\ell}$ in herbal wine, the higher.

Antioxidative effect of ethanolic extracts of various tea materials(Camellia sinensis, Cassia tora, Lyc ium chinense, Polygonatum odoratum, Schizandrae chinensis) on red pepper seed oil was investigated. Ethanolic extracts were added to red pepper seed oil at a concentration of 0.05%(w/v). Two experimental conditions were employed : 50$\pm$0.1oC for 45 days and 150$\pm$3oC for 24 hours. Oxidation of red pepper seed oil was determined by measuring peroxide value and acid value. Electron donating ability(EDA) and total phenolic contents of each extract were also determined. The result showed that the extracts possess an antioxidative activities. The effectiveness of them was in the following order: C. sinensis>C. tora>P. odoratum>S. chinensis >L. chinense. Ethanolic extracts of C. sinensis showed substantially higher EDA value and total phenol contents than other tea materials. These results indicate that the antioxidative effect was strongly related with EDA and total phenol contents.

Physiological activities of Korean-grown ginger (KG) and Chinese-grown ginger (CG) extracts were examined. Ginger was extracted with water, and 50 and 100% ethanol, and then nitrite-scavenging activity (NSA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, and electron-donating ability (EDA) of extracts were investigated. NSA at pH 1.2 was the most effective in 50% ethanol extracts of both origins. SOD-like activities of water and 50% ethanol extracts of both samples were 8.66-35.95% lower than those of 1 and 0.1% L-ascorbate solutions. SOD-like activity of KG extracts was higher than that of CG extracts, and water extracts of samples were the highest. EDA of KG extract was higher (22.23-86.95%) than that of CG extract, while both sample extracts showed lower EDA than those of 1 and 0.1% L-ascorbate solutions.

This study examined the antioxidant activity of methanol and water extracts from Orostachys japonicus A. Berger according to harvest times, by measuring electron donating ability(EDA), reducing power, superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and antioxidant activity within a linoleic acid emulsion. EDA increased proportionally with the extract concentration and the methanol extract had slightly stronger effects than the water extract. And reducing power and SOD-like activity were highest in the methanol extract. Overall, based on the data, the methanol extract of O. japonicus A. Berger harvested during $August{\sim}October$ presented the highest level of antioxidative activity and may be a good candidate as a natural antioxidant source.

Phenolic compounds are known to inhibit the nitrosation or oxidation reaction. In the present work, the effects of phenolic compounds including phenolic acids and flavonoids on the nitrite-scavenging and electron donating ability were tested as scavenger of nitrite which is believed to participate in the formation of N-nitroso compounds and investigated as electron donator. The nitrite scavenging ability appeared in all the phenolic acids and showed the highest value at PH 1.2. Among the Phenolic compounds, phenolic acids showed higher nitrite-scavenging action than some flavonoids. Futhermore, the nitrite scavenging action of phenolic compounds was pH dependent highest at pH 1.2 and lowest at pH 6.0. The electron donating ability (EDA) by reduction of ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) among hydroxybenzoic acids was in the decreasing order of gallic acid, gentisic acid, syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, salicylic acid, vanillic acid, benzoic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. EDA of hydroxycinnamic acids was in the decreasing order of hydrocaffeic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid and trans-cinnamic acid. EDA of flavonoids was in the decreasing order of (+)catechin, rutin, quercetin, naringin and hesperidin. Other phenolic compounds were significantly high in electron donating abilities.

Thermal degradation characteristics of sucrose was investigated. A 20% sucrose solution was heated to temperatures of $110-150^{\circ}C$ for 1-5 hr. Chromaticity, pH, organic acids, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), free sugars, electron donating ability (EDA), and ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC) of the heated sucrose solutions were evaluated. With increasing temperatures and times, the L-, a-, and b-values decreased; however, total color difference (${\Delta}E_{ab}$) increased. The pH and sucrose contents decreased, and fructose and glucose contents increased with increasing heating temperature and time. Organic acids, such as formic acid, lactic acid, and levulinic acid, and HMF contents increased with increasing heating temperatures and times. EDA (%) and the AEAC of the heated sucrose solutions increased with increasing heating temperature and time. The heated sucrose solution was more effective than unheated sucrose solution, having higher EDA (90 fold), and AEAC (13 fold).

This study was performed to investigate the functional properties of roasted Pleurotus eryngii by the extraction conditions. Total phenolic compound content and electron donating ability (EDA) were high at 50% ethanol concentration. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity was high at 75% ethanol concentration. Nitrite scavenging ability increased as ethanol concentration in extracting solvent decreased. EDA decreased, SOD-like activity and nitrite scavenging ability increased as the extraction time increased. With the increase in extraction temperature, EDA and SOD-like activity decreased. But extraction temperature did not significantly affect the nitrite-scavenging ability With the increase in ratio of sample content to solvent, EDA, SOD-like activity and nitrite scavenging ability decreased. The results would be useful for understanding the extraction condition of roasted Pleurotus eryngii.

For the utilization of chestnut inner bark as forest biomass, this studies have been carried out cleary investigated about phenolic compounds from the diethyl ether solubles and ethyl acetate solubles of hot water extract from chestnut inner bark. 3 compound were isolated and their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. They were known compounds, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydrixybenzoic acid and catechin. Electron donating ability (EDA) of 3 compounds were investigated. Gallic acid and catechin were found to higher EDA than control, ascorbic acid and $\alpha$-tocopherol in 10 ppm, and especially gallic acid has very higher EDA, 21 times than ascorbic acid. This gallic acid of chemical structure were substituted with free phenolic hydroxyl groups at meta and para position. It was supposed that phenolic hydroxyl groups in chemical structure was a EDA factor.
