Changes of fatty acid composition and reaction rate were investigated according to reaction condition during partial hydrogenation reaction of soybean oil until its iodine value decreased from 134 to 110. The reaction conditions were varied in the range of from $170^{\circ}C$ to $210^{\circ}C$ of temperature, from 1.3 atm to 4.2 atm of pressure and from 0.005% to 0.1% of nickel concentration as catalyst. Lecithin was added in soybean oil to investigate the change of reaction rate. The result of addition of lecithin showed that reaction rate decreased to from 2 to 6 times in comparison with non-additive system.

Glycyrrhizin (18$\beta$-glycyrrhetinic acid-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1$\rightarrow2)-\beta$-D-glucuronide, GL) was transformed to 18$\beta$-glycyrrhetinic acid-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronide (GAMG) by Streptococcus LJ-22. The antiallergic activities of GL and GAMG was measured using a RBL cell assay system and contact hypersensitivity model mice. GAMG exhibited anti-allergic activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.28 mM. GAMG, which is sweeter than GL, and 18$\beta$-glycyrrhetinic acid, which is a GAMG metabolite by human intestinal bacteria, also inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and skin contact inflammation. In conclusion, GAMG may be useful as a new sweet food additive and an anti-allergic agent.

Sleep is vital to maintain health and well-being; however, insomnia is currently a widespread health complaint worldwide. In particular, caffeine, a psychoactive component of coffee, tea, and caffeine beverages may lead to sleep disorders such as insomnia. In this study, our primary objective was to investigate the inhibitory effect of high-purity phlorotannin preparation (HP-PRT) on caffeine-induced wakefulness. The sleep test of pentobarbital-induced mice was used as an in vivo animal model. Caffeine (50 and 100 mg/kg) showed significant arousal effects (an increase in sleep latency and a decrease in sleep duration). Co-administration of caffeine (50 mg/kg) and the sedative-hypnotic diazepam (DZP, 1 mg/kg) did not result in similar arousal activity. HP-PRT (500 mg/kg) also inhibited caffeine-induced wakefulness. Our results suggest that HP-PRT would be a useful additive for developing coffee products without the arousal effect.

Spirulina is known to be more useful abroad than in Korea because it contains more protein than Chlorella, the same microalgae. In the past, sources of animal protein were diverse, but since it takes a long time to receive protein along with environmental pollution, we thought that spirulina could attract attention as a new protein source. In this study, application cases were analyzed in foods in the fields of acorn cake, tofu, dumpling skin, fish cake, white bread, pound cake, salad dressing, and yogurt and so on. As a result of centrally analyzing antioxidant and sensory evaluation, it was confirmed that the results were effective enough to develop products in tofu, dumpling skin, fish cake, and pound cake. It is thought that development of food in other fields will be possible if an additive amount that can match the consumer's preference is found by supplementing the mixing ratio. If it is used as a main raw material for existing food rather than as a raw material for health functional food, consumer preference can increase and quality can be further improved, and it can be suggested as a good alternative for an aging society.

Organic acids, nucleotides and their related compounds (NRCs) of kimchi prepared with salted-fermented fish products (SFFPs) and their alternatives were analyzed at each optimal fermentation (pH $4.2{\pm}0.2$, acidity $0.6{\sim}0.8%$) during fermentation at 20, 10 and $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The pH and acidity levels of kimchi sharply decreased and increased, respectively until each optimal fermentation period. The levels of organic acids and NRCs in SFFP kimchi were affected by fermentation temperature and the type of additive. Compared with the control, organic acid levels were slightly higher in kimchi with alternative additives, as were NRC rates in kimchi with hydrolysates of oyster and Alaska pollack. Moreover, slightly higher levels of NRC were observed in kimchi with alternative additives than in kimchi with SFFPs. Consequently, these results show that fermentation temperature and the type of additive (SFFPs and their alternatives) affect not only fermentation, but the levels of organic acids and NRCs in kimchi.

In this study, we produced macarons by adding white bean powder at various proportions (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). The macarons in the 100% additive group had the highest moisture content, smallest volume, highest weight, and highest sugar and reducing sugar content. The macarons in the 50% additive group had the highest spread factor.Furthermore, their pH and acidity demonstrated the greatest air bubble stability. In the Hunter color system, by adding white bean powder, the L value gradually decreased, whereas the a and b values gradually increased. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with the addition of white beans. Flavonoids and total phenolic compounds, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity were the highest at 100%. Additionally, their overall acceptability was the highest at 50%. These results suggested that the use of white bean powder to produce macarons have numerous advantages.

Well-Bing Many consumer forms of natural foods that are not chemically processed due to heat are becoming popular. However, it is very difficult to find foods that do not contain chemical food additives in the modern. Also, there are many products that do not have proper marking of ingredients of chemical food additives or are omitted from marking. Based on the annual data on chemical food additive consumption in Korea, this paper will examine the occurrence of cancer, which is emerging by additives, through time series analysis and regression analysis, one of the big data analysis techniques. Of the total population.

This study sought to investigate any additive or interactive effects that soy isoflavones may have on the ecosystem of the gut, which is influenced by fructooligosaccharide (FOS) in colon-cancer model rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine were given experimental diets containing 0, 3, 6, or 9% FOS with or without 0.1% soy isoflavone for 12 weeks. In addition to the effects of FOS dosage on the gut ecosystem, dietary supplementation with soy isoflavone reduced the number of colonic aberrant crypts (ACs). The fecal weight, fecal pH, and gut transit time significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner in rats fed FOS and the fecal concentration of bifidobacteria was higher in rats fed FOS than in control rats. The fecal output of total short-chain fatty acids, acetate, and propionate was significantly increased by the presence of FOS and was negatively correlated with the number of ACs, whereas the fecal output of butyrate showed no significant correlation with FOS dosage. The addition of soy isoflavone to the diet did not result in any significant differences in gut ecosystem parameters. Therefore, we conclude that the suppressive effect of soy isoflavone on ACs was not associated with the intestinal ecosystem, which was significantly altered by the dosage of FOS.

In this study, sponge cakes were prepared with replacement of 1, 3, and 5% spergularia marina griseb powder. The specific gravity tended to increase as the ratio of spergularia marina griseb powder increased. The control group had higher moisture content, volume, and specific volume than the spergularia marina griseb powder samples. As the amounts of spergularia marina griseb powder increased, L and b value increased. In terms of textural characteristics, Sponge cake levels of hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness and brittleness increased as the amount of spergularia marina griseb powder additive increased. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability of 3% spergularia marina griseb powder was the highest. Based on the above results, sponge cake, made by addition of 3% spergularia marina griseb could be helpful in improving physical quality as well as taste enhanc the functionality of the product.

This study identified the formula of the antioxidant substance separated from the ethyl acetate and the butanol extract and tested the antioxidant properties with the electron donating ability(EDA). Each phase with the fractionated methanol extract from mulberry leaf was screened in advance for the antioxidant substance with EDA. As the result, activity appeared in the ethyl acetate and butanol phase and the antioxidant component was separated. As the consequence, 2 components from the ethyl acetate phase and 1 from the butanol phase were separated, among which the structures of the components from ethyl acetate were determined by wogonin and linarin, whereas the structure of the component from the butanol phase was determined by pectolinarin. In the screening of antioxidant activity by the scavenging effect of the DPPH radical, the wogonin and linarin components from ethyl acetate phase showed more powerful antioxidant property than the component from butanol. The results from this study indicate that the chemical compound separated from the ethyl acetate extract has more powerful antioxidant property than the one separated from the butanol extract. The components separated from the ethyl acetate extract were wogonin and linarin, which are flavonoids, whereas the component from butanol was pectolinarin. Therefore, this study suggested that the feasibility of mulberry leaf as a functional food additive and its value as a natural antioxidant is very high.
