  • This study aimed to investigate the use of golden thread extract (GTE), clove extract (CE), and commercially available nitrite for retarding lipid and protein oxidation and for maintaining color stability and sensory attributes in beef patties stored at $4^{\circ}C$. GTE, CE, and nitrite treatment samples were found to be efficient in retarding lipid oxidation as all three treatments resulted in low thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) content (p<0.05). By using GTE, CE, and nitrite into beef patties, protein oxidation was not developed. Incorporation of GTE and CE into beef patties maintained color stability by protecting against the decrease of $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, chroma, and hue angle values and exhibited significant influence on sensory characteristics, including color and odor of beef patties (p<0.05). Compared to commercially available nitrite, GTE and CE were more effective as antioxidants for inhibiting lipid oxidation, and preserving color stability of fresh beef patties. The study indicated that GTE and CE could be utilized efficiently to extend the shelf life of beef patties.

  • Effective synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) have been widely used in the food industry, but they are suspected to be toxic and carcinogenic effects. Therefore, the development of safely available natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, ${\beta}$-carotene, flavonoids and selenium is essential. In particular, flavonoids, 2-phenyl-benzo-${\alpha}$-pyrones, are polyphenolic compounds that occur ubiquitously in food of plant origin. flavonoids occur in foods generally as O-glycosides with sugars bound usually at the C\ulcorner position. And variations in their heterocyclic ring gibes rise to flavones, flavonols, flavanones, flavanols, catechins, anthocyanidins, chalcone and isoflavones. Vegetables, fruits, and beverages are the main dietary sources of the flavonols, primarily as quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin and the corresponding flavones, apigenin and luteolin. These flavonoids have biological activity such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antimutagenic, anticarcimogenic antiallergic and antimicrobial activity effects in vitro and in vivo. Flavonoids posses strong antioxidant activities acting as oxygen radicals scavenger, metal chelators and enzyme inhibitor. The antioxidant activity of flavonoids is determined by their molecular structure and more specially, by the position and degree of hydroxylation of the ring structure. All flavonoids with the 3`, 4`-dihydroxy(ortho-dihydroxy) posses marked antioxidant activity. And antioxidant activity increases with the number of hydroxyl groups substituted on the A-and B-rings. There is as yet no certainty about the effect of the presence of a double bond between C\ulcorner and C\ulcorner on the antioxidant activity of flavonoids.

  • Fish oil has abundant highlly unsaturated fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Therefore, fish oil is very susceptible to peroxidation. Adding any antioxidants to fish oil is acceptable to prevent the peroxidation. However, nontoxic and strong naturally occurring antioxidants for fish oil was not developed. ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ is one of useful natural antioxidants, but it is not good to prevent the fish oil peroxidation. In this study, we examined the development of microencapsulated squid liver oil product to prevent effectively peroxidation of the fish oil. The acceptable materials for encapsuling the squid liver oil were gum arabic and gelatin. The ultimate encapsulation rate of squid liver oil was 45.5%.

  • Opuntia Ficus has been an epiphyte plant since it was introduced in Cheju island as an ornamental plant two hundred years ago. And now it is grown as many as it is designated to local souvenir No.35. The fruit of this plant contains red-purple sap, which is due to be used in coloring clothes. This study aims at confirmation of use possibility as eco-friendly dyeing stuffs on extract from opuntia ficus fruits and contributing to the practical use of natural dyeing. Thus this study was investigated the dyeability of extract from opuntia ficus fruits on the silk fabric. Antioxidants were used ascorbic acid, L-cysteine, prophyl gallete. After dyeing, K/S and dye fastness were measured. The results were as follows; Maximum absorption band of extract from opuntia ficus fruits was 534.5nm. The appropriate dyeing condition was bath ratio 50:1, dyeing temperature $30^{\circ}C$, dyeing concentration 50%, dyeing time 50min, pH 3,concentration of all antioxidants 3%. Addition of antioxidants brought increase of K/S value. And K/S value and dye fastness had the greatest value when ascorbic acid was added

  • The ethanol extracts of the mixed vegetables (Bioactive Vegetables, BV) and the mixed fruits (Bioactive Fruits, BF) were evaluated for their in vivo antioxidant activities. Four weeks treatment of oral administration was performed to mice. A $KBrO_3$ as a potent oxidant was used to induce the oxidative stress for in vivo experiment. BV and BF were shown to possess the significant inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation as measured by the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) formation although the potencies were not higher than those of well-known antioxidants such as vitamin C, trolox and quercetin. Furthermore, BV and BF inhibited DNA damage assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) and reduced the micronucleated reticulocyte (MNRET) formation of peripheral blood. Antioxidants tested also revealed potent inhibitory activities higher than BV and BF. These antigenotoxic activity profiles were similar to that of abovementioned inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Therefore, BV and BF having mild antioxidant activity as functional food candidates may be useful natural antioxidants by the inhibiting of lipid peroxidation and the protecting oxidative DNA and chromosomal damage.

  • Since reactive oxygen radicals play an important role in carcinogenesis and other human diseases including neurodegenerative states, antioxidants present in natural products have received considerable attention for alleviation of these disease states. Therefore, in order io identify antioxidants in plant extracts, fifty-seven methanolic extracts derided from indigenous Korean plants were primarily assessed for potential to scavenge stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals. As a result, nine plant extracts were found to exhibit the DPPH free radical scavenging activity in the criteria of $IC_{50}<40\;{\mu}g/ml$. In particular, the extracts of Melioma oldhami $(IC_{50}=0.1\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Myrica rubra $(IC_{50}=16.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Sympolocos paniculata $(IC_{50}=23.0\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Carpinus laxiflora $(IC_{50}=25.1\;{\mu}g/ml)$, and Cleyera japonica $(IC_{50}=26.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$ showed a potent radical scavenging activity. Further study for the identification of active compounds from these lead extracts might be warranted.
