In this study, effect of heat treatment on phytic acid, phosphorus compounds, and minerals in Korean soybean varieties was investigated. Results were summarized as follwo: 1. In the soybeans tested, protein content ranged from 34.6 to 44.6%, lipid content from 15.4 to 20.2%, fiber content from 4.8 to 6.1% and ash content from 4.5 to 5.9%. 2. Content range for phytic acid in soybean varieties was 1,300 to 1,542mg/100g and its mean was measured 1,392mg/100g. With increasing of the temperature, the phytic acid tends to be destroyed, especially at 6$0^{\circ}C$ the loss was averaged about 20%. 3. Total phosphorus content in soybean ranged from 607 to 681mg/100g and the decending order of phosphors content in soybean varieties was Millyang > Hwangkeum > Kwangkyo > Danyoup > Hill > Jangyoup. It was also destroyed with increasing temperature. 4. Phytate phosphorus content range in soybean was from 315.6 to 318.0mg/100g and decreased with increasing temperature. 5. Inorganic phosphorus content ranged from 95.5 to 110.0mg/100g and it was increased by temperature rising among soybean varieties. 6. Phytate phosphorus to total phosphorus ratio ranged from 5.2 to 5.7 and decreased by temperature rising. 7. The content of nonphytate phosphorus varied widely between soybean varieties and decreased with temperature increase. 8. The content of calcium, iron and magnesium ranged from 15.7 to 25.7mg/100g from 8.8 to 16.8mg/100g and from 121.9 to 143.6mg/100g respectively. The content of Mg showed small difference among soybean varieties. The change of mineral content with heat treatment in soybean did not give any meaningful change mineral content.

To apply UV-C as a non-heating sterilization method to increase the microbiological safety of fresh seedless watermelon products, reductions in E. coli and quality changes by treatment dose (0, 2, 4, 8, 14, 20 kJ/m²) were investigated. The pH, sugar content, and hardness of watermelon inoculated with E. coli were not significantly different according to the UV-C treatment dose, but the polyphenol content was significantly decreased compared to the controls (425.4 GAE ㎍/g F.W.). When treated with 2 and 4 kJ/m², the lycopene content was 31.6 and 30.9 ㎍/g F.W., respectively, which was increased compared to the controls (28.5 ㎍/g F.W.). The arginine and citrulline content was also significantly increased compared to the controls. The number of E. coli was significantly decreased compared to the controls following UV-C treatment. Considering the degree of E. coli reduction, lycopene content, arginine content, citrulline content, and UV-C irradiation time, subsequent experiments were conducted by selecting a UV-C treatment dose of 2 kJ/m². The results of confirming the degree of reduction in the number of E. coli colonies by a single treatment and combined treatment with UV-C 2 kJ/m² and 70% ethanol showed that the combined treatment was most effective as colonies were decreased by 2.3 log CFU/g compared to the controls. Therefore, it is judged that UV-C 2 kJ/m² radiation and combined treatment with 70% ethanol could be applied as a non-heating sterilization method for fresh watermelon slices.

Background: Centella asiatica is a well-known medicinal plant having a wound healing effect. In this study, the growth, asiaticoside content, and antioxidant components and activity were investigated in C. asiatica resources under different cultivation and irrigation conditions. Methods and Results: The cultivation and irrigation methods were divided as greenhouse and open field, and sprinkler and sub irrigation. respectively. Growth characteristics were measured in aerial parts of C. asiatica. Asiaticoside content was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Total polyphenol, total flavonoid and 2,2-diphenyl-1picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were analyzed for antioxidant activities. Growth was higher under greenhouse and sub irrigation than open field and sprinkler conditions. In the leaves, asiaticoside content was 53.45 mg/g (open field) and 34.38 mg/g (sub irrigation), total polyphenol was 41.14 mg/g (open field) and 25.73 mg/g (sub-irrigation), and total flavonoid was 27.26 mg/g (open field) and 23.72 mg/g (sub-irrigation). DPPH radical scavenging activity in the leaves was 85.97 mg·ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE)/g (open field) and 54.83 mg·AAE/g (sub irrigation). Conclusions: Asiaticoside and antioxidant components and activity were not accompanied with high yield, although high growth was observed under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, cultural requirements of C. asiatica should be sufficiently considered to suit each purpose.

Houttuynia cordata Thunb powder (0.05 g) was placed in a stainless vessel containing 10 mL of water, and subcritical water (SCW) extraction was carried out at various temperatures (50, 100, 200, and $300^{\circ}C$) for 10, 30, and 60 min. SCW treatment significantly affected physiologically important compounds, antioxidant activity, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of H. cordata Thunb extracts. H. cordata Thunb extracted at $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 min had the highest quercetin content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, whereas the extract at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min possessed the highest flavonoid content. The highest ABTS radical scavenging activity was found in H. cordata Thunb extracted at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. These results indicate that SCW extraction might be a useful processing method for obtaining valuable materials from H. cordata Thunb.

This study was performed to provide basic data of Cirsium setidens Nakai by cultivars that will be applied for development of functional foods and ingredients. We assessed pectiolinarin content, total flavonoids content and antioxidant effects (DPPH radical scavenging activity and ORAC assay) of C. setidens Nakai. Our results showed that the pectolinarin and total flavonoids contents of C. setidens Nakai by cultivars ranged from $3.95{\pm}0.05$ to $7.29{\pm}0.07mg/g$ and from $40.42{\pm}0.91$ to $76.70{\pm}2.24mg$ pectolinarin equivalent (PNE)/g, respectively. Among C. setidens Nakai by cultivars, the pectolinarin content was highest in GW-D extract. Futhermore, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of C. setidens Nakai ranged from 31.25 to 81.93%, respectively. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value was highest in GW-D and GW-E extracts (514.49 and $501.73{\mu}M\;TE/g$, respectively). These results suggest that C. setidens Nakai extract could be considered as a good sources of natural antioxidants and functional food ingredients.

Radish green juice was used as a dual source for the production of plant protein precipitate and Candida utilis biomass. Precipitates ranging from 10.0 to 16.5g were obtained from a liter of radish green juice by heating at 80-10$0^{\circ}C$C for 1 to 10 min or by modification of the pH of radish green juice. Crude protein content of the precipitate was between 25 and 38%. The residue remaining after protein precipitation was used in turn for the cultivation of the yeast, C. utilis, in order to produce yeast biomass. C. utilis grew well in radish green residual juice and completed growth within 24 hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 200rpm in shake flask experiments. Maximum dry cell weight obtainable from a liter of radish green residual juice was 19.5g, when the yeast was grown on the juice residue diluted 3 times or more with water to make sugar content be equal to or less than about 1.0%. Supplementation of 3-fold diluted radish green residual juice with yeast extract and (NH$_4$)SO$_4$ enhanced yeast biomass production and cell protein content significantly. Total high protein material obtainable from a liter of radish green juice was 33.0g.
