This study investigated properties of bread utilizing extracts of ginseng powder. Ginseng powder bread was baked. Addition of 1~3% of ginseng powder extract to wheat flour was carried out. Rheological properties, dough pH, dough volume, bread volume, water absorption capacity, baking loss, bread color, bread texture, and sensory evaluation were tested to examine properties of bread baked with extracts of ginseng powder. The results are as follows. The dough pH decreased gradually with increasing ginseng powder extract concentration. The bread volume, baking loss, and bread weight increased with increasing use of ginseng powder extract, and springiness and cohesiveness increased as red ginseng powder additive concentration increased. Lightness of the L decreased while a and b increased. In the sensory evaluation, ginseng powder with 1% ginseng powder extract was evaluated as the best for taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability.

We determined the inhibitory activity of the essential oil fraction obtained by steam distillation from the fresh and dried leaves of Perilla frutescens var. acuta against some pathogenic Salmonella and Vibrio spp. The activities of compounds isolated from the essential oils, apiol and myristicin, were also tested and the results were compared with those of the essential oil fraction. The Perilla essential oil fraction and its main components showed significant inhibition against antibiotic-susceptive and antibiotic-resistant strains of the tested Salmonella and Vibrio strains. Synergistic or additive effects were identified by combing the oils with ampicillin by checkerboard-titer tests. We conclude that essential oils from P. frutescens can be useful in the treatment of Salmonella and Vibrio infections and as safe additives to food materials for the prevention of contamination of food by these bacteria. This is especially important because of the rapid increase in antibiotic-resistant strains, which could cause severe symptoms in humans.

We investigated the effects of godulbaegi extracts on the physiochemical properties of biological membranes as membrane stability and fluidity employing the phospholipid liposomal membrances as a biomembrane-mimetic system. The addition of the godulbaegi extracts to the phospholipid exterted great effects stagbilized the barrier function of the liposomal membranes in proportion to the concentration of the additive and significantly increased the membranes fluidity. The values of the fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl 1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) decreased gradually as the temperature increased, and decreased abruptly near the phase transition temperature (Tm) of the liposome from gel to liquid crystalline state as usual. These results suggest that the activities of the godulbaegi extracts to enhance the stability and fluidity of the liposomal membranes have implication in their biological activities.

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of herbs as a bread additive among 880 university students(436 male and 444 female). A sensory evaluation was also undertaken to investigate the taste and qualitative aspects of breads with various herb additives such as rosemary and mint. First, rosemary was the most popular(40.9%), followed by mint(28.5%) and lavender(10.9%). Second, sensory evaluation gave a positive response rate of 85.8% for the breads and cookies with added herbs. Third, in terms of using herbs for breads and cookies, respondents favored mint as the favorite with 58.1%, followed by rosemary with 57.9%. Fourth, in terms of sensory test, the highest preference was scored by the bread with 2% mint and 2% rosemary, and this ingrediebt mixture was confirmed as the best to make herb added breads.

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yogurt supplemented with 1%, 2%, and 3% aronia juice and fermented for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$. The total acidity increased with increasing levels of aronia juice and incubation time. Lightness and yellowness of the yogurt decreased, but redness increased, with increasing aronia juice content and incubation time. The number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) increased with increased incubation time, and yogurt containing 2% and 3% aronia juice showed higher LAB counts than 1% aroinia juice-supplemented yogurt. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity of aronia-containing yogurt was significantly higher than that of the control and increased proportionally with aronia juice concentration. Yogurt with 2% aronia juice had the best taste (P<0.05). Aronia juice may be a useful additive for improving the taste and antioxidant potential of yogurt.

Purpose: This study investigated the question of whether the addition of natural ingredients (pear fermented solution, celery powder, vitamin C) in curing agents may influence antioxidant activities and nutritional characteristics of smoked duck. Methods: Smoked duck samples with general or natural curing agent containing three additive ingredients were examined to determine total polyphenol contents, antioxidant activities, pH, TBARS, and food additives residue (nitrite ion, antioxidant, sodium glutamate). Results: Smoked duck with natural curing agent showed a higher level of total polyphenol content and antioxidant activities than smoked duck using general curing agent (p < 0.05). The pH and TBARS of smoked duck were significantly decreased by the addition of natural curing ingredients compared to those of smoked duck using general curing agent (p < 0.05). The residues of food additives were not detected in smoked duck using natural curing agent. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the addition of pear fermented solution, celery powder, and vitamin C in natural duck curing agent may improve the antioxidant activities and nutritional characteristics of smoked duck and provides health benefits.

Phytochemicals were isolated from leaves of the fiber crop, ramie (Boehmeria nivea, Bn), using open column chromatography and medium pressure liquid chromatography. Their structures were identified as ${\beta}$-sitosterol, (-)-loliolide, rutin, and pyrimidinedione by MS, $^1H$-, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopic analysis. Among them, (-)-loliolide was isolated for the first time from B. nivea. A content analysis of (-)-loliolide in B. nivea collected from different regions and harvest times was conducted by HPLC. The highest content of (-)-loliolide was found in Bn-23 harvested in September. These results will be helpful to use the plant which harvest in September as a high content phytochemical additive in food, health supplements, and medicinal products.

The quality characteristics of muffins prepared with hesperetin (0.2, 0.4 or 0.8%), a flavonoid, were evaluated. There were no significant differences in volumes and heights of the muffins due to the various additions of hesperetin, or in the L, a and b values of the crust and crumb of the various muffin groups. The sweetness of the muffins containing the highest level of hesperetin (0.8%) gave the highest scores in the sensory test. A stepwise regression analysis showed the sweetness and after taste were the significant factors affecting the overall preference for the muffins. Therefore, hesperetin may be useful as a muffin additive as its addition did not impair the sensory characteristics of the muffins.

In this study, we propose a squid jeotgal, Korean fermented seafood, supplement with different soy isoflavones supplements, followed by fermentation for different time intervals at $4^{\circ}C$ to increase the antioxidant activity and improve the food value. In the first month, fermented jeotgals with at lowconcentration ($2mg\;g^{-1}$) of added soy isoflavones showed a significant increase in the activity of up to 55%, whereas, at high concentration ($10mg\;g^{-1}$), the activity almost doubled compared to that of the sample without isoflavones. Moreover, the squid enriched with isoflavones also exhibited significantly decreased total volatile base nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and biogenic amines, indicative of higher inhibition of the formation of these substances. The changes in the microbial profile were also evaluated. This use of soy isoflavanones as an additive could aid in improving the nutritional value of fermented seafood to reduce the incidence of age-related and chronic disorders.
