This study was conducted to investigate physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation of water extracts from Liriopis tuber (Liriope platyphylla Wang et Tang; LP) treated with roasting over various temperatures ($150{\sim}190^{\circ}C$). The LP water extracts showed increase of total sugar, reducing sugar, total protein, and total saponins except pH as roasting temperature was elevated. The browning index, and a and b values of color were increased, however, L value was decreased as temperature was elevated. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, superoxide anion radical, and nitrite scavenging activities and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity of LP water extracts were increased by 6.77, 2.37, 4.02, and 4.92 times, respectively, after roasting at $190^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation, LP water extracts roasted at $170^{\circ}C$ showed the highest scores in color, savory taste, flavor, and overall acceptability.

Seasoned laver Pyropia spp. is a traditional Korean seafood that has gained popularity worldwide because of its unique taste, texture, and health benefits. It is prepared by roasting a sheet of dried laver, to which vegetable oils have been applied, at an ultra-high temperature (UHT) of $300^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the oxidative stability of the oils is the most important factor in determining the shelf life of seasoned laver products. In this study, we investigated changes in the thermal oxidative stability of six major vegetable oils (sesame, perilla, sunflower, rice bran, canola, and olive) during the seasoned laver processing. The oxidation induction time of each oil from the seasoned laver products was decreased compared with the fresh oil. These results indicate that the UHT treatment ($300^{\circ}C$, 10 s) induced thermal oxidation of the oils. Among the six seasoned laver oils, the induction times of olive (OL, 8.02 h) and sesame (SE, 5.31 h) oils were significantly higher than the other oils. The acid values (AVs) of OL and SE oils from the seasoned laver were 0.49 and 0.79, respectively. On the other hand, perilla oil had the overall worst thermal oxidative properties (induction time: 0.35 h, AV: 2.82). Our results provide useful information about seasoned laver products for researchers or manufactures.

The effects of different concentrations of ${\alpha}-tocopherol,\;{\delta}-tocopherol$, BHA, BHT and TBHQ on the oxidative stability of perilla oils undergoing autoxidation during storage at $50^{\circ}C$ were studied. ${\alpha}-\;and,\;{\delta}-tocopherols$ were added as concentrations of 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm to the perilla oils from the unroasted seeds or the roasted seeds at $190^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. BHA, BHT and TBHQ were also added to the perilla oils described above as concentrations of 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm, respectively. The oxidative stability of perilla oils was estimated by the antioxidative index (AI: the induction periods of oils with antioxidants/the induction periods of oils without antioxidants) on the basis of the peroxide values. The roasted perilla seed oil was more stable than the unroasted seed oil in autoxidation. The addition of ${\alpha}-\;and,\;{\delta}-tocopherols$ accelerated the autoxidation of perilla oils. BHA did not show antioxidant effects, but BHT showed very weak antioxidant effects. The autoxidation of perilla oils, however, was effectively prevented by the addition of TBHQ. TBHQ showed activity in preventing 5 times on the autoxidation of perilla oils. Therefore, the oxidation stability of perilla oils seemed to be depend both on the roasting process and the kind of antioxidants.

Objective : Gardeniae Fructus (GF) has bitter and cold nature. Thus, it has been traditionally prescribed in processed form roasted with ginger juice for patients with a weak stomach. This study investigated the effects of processed GF in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP)-treated gastric epithelial cells. Methods : Processed GF was made by applying 40% ginger juice or 10% ethanol for 24 h and then roasting at 150℃ for 5 minutes. Apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was monitored by flow cytometry using the membrane permeable fluorescent dye Rh123. Protein expression was measured by Western blot analysis. Results : Cell viability was reduced by tBHP and restored by ethanol extract of GF (GFE). In the TUNEL assay, it was found that cell death by tBHP was due to apoptosis, and GFE had an anti-apoptotic effect. Processed GF roasted with ginger juice showed the best anti-apoptotic effect. Processed GF also inhibited MMP loss and restored tBHP-induced changes in expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins. Increased ROS production and GSH depletion after tBHP treatment were significantly reduced by processed GF. In addition, tBHP-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was inhibited by processed GF. Conclusion : These results demonstrate that the processed GF is able to protect gastric epithelial cells from oxidative stress-induced cell death with antiapoptotic and antioxidant activity. In addition, it shows that the processing of GF, which have been traditionally used for gastrointestinal protection, partially have scientific validity.

Domestic gold mine tailings, generally, contain a lot of non-metallic silica and clay minerals. These minerals can be separated from the tailings by various physical separation methods and used as raw materials for cements and ceramic products. In these physical separation procedures, metallic complex sulfides, in which Au and metallic constituents such as Pb, As and Fe were concentrated, were obtained as a by-product. These metallic constituents should be removed or separated from the by-product to extract Au efficiently. In this work, removal and separation processes of Pb, As, and Fe from the by-product were investigated. Pb was removed to under 3% by using alkaline oxidative leaching at the leaching condition of $120^{\circ}C$, 2M NaOH, 100psi $Po_2$, 250r.p.m., 4 wt.% solid and 30 min. leaching time. The leached residue was roasted and separated magnetically to obtain a non-magnetic product contained <0.2% As, <3% Fe and high concentrated Au more than 8,000 ppm.

Effects of UV irradiation on lipid oxidation in perilla seeds and perilla oil were evaluated by determining the contents of peroxides, conjugated dienoic acids, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and analyzing fatty acid composition. Tocopherols and polyphenol contents were also determined. Perilla seeds were unroasted or roasted at $180^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, and perilla oil was obtained by pressing the roasted perilla seeds. Lipid oxidation during UV irradiation was higher and faster in perilla oil than that in perilla seeds, with a slight loss of linolenic acid. Unroasted perilla seeds were more oxidation-stable than roasted seeds. Tocopherols and polyphenols were degraded during UV irradiation, with a higher degradation rate observed in unroasted perilla seeds than in roasted ones. Antioxidant concentration dependency of the lipid oxidation during UV irradiation was higher in perilla oil than that in perilla seeds, and the contribution of polyphenols to oxidative stability was higher than that of tocopherols in all samples.

The substitute tea was manufactured from the leaves of Salvia plebeia R. Br. (SPR) that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities. Total polyphenols and flavonoids in SPR were $71.8{\pm}4.74GAE\;mg/g$ and $38.7{\pm}2.95QUE\;mg/g$, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity of SPR water extract had an $RC_{50}$ of $16.9{\mu}g/mL$. SPR inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production with an $IC_{50}$ of > $100{\mu}g/mL$. Medium and large leaves were used in the SPR substitute tea (SPRT). The water content was dissipated on roasting within approximately 10 minutes, and the tea obtained from fan-firing for a total 120 minutes was evaluated as most superior. Flavor was positively correlated with the taste and general preference. SPRT maintained its anti-oxidative activity without significant changes on roasting or fan-firing even after the heat treatment. The appropriate weight of a tea bag for one serving was 1.0 g. The study results indicated that SPR is a potential resource for the development of food or ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties.

Processing of traditional herbal medicine is one of the pharmaceutical technique in oriental medicine. Most frequently used processing method in oriental medicine are roasting and steaming. In this studies, to elucidate the pharmacological transformation of traditional herbal medicine by means of processing them, Ginseng Radix (root of Panax ginseng, Araliaceae) was used as a sample. Processed ginseng radix (SGR, Sun Ginseng) was prepared by steaming of roots of white ginseng (GR) for 3 hours at $120^{\circ}C$. The biological activities of methanol extract of GR and SGR were investigated. According to DPPH radical scavenging effects, and inhibitory effects of xanthine oxidase and AAPH induced hemolysis, PGR exhibited more effective than those of GR in vitro. And, the antifatigue effect of GR and SGR were investigated using a weight-loading forced swimming test by monitoring swimming times and prolonged intensity exercise model rats by measuring blood biochemical parameters. GR and SGR were significantly prolonged swimming times in 8% body weight ratio loaded mice. Also, they had the inhibitory effects on the decrease of blood glucose levels, the elevation of serum creatinine, lactic acid and free fatty acid, and lactic dehydrogenase activities in forces swimming rats with 1% of the body weight attached to the neck for 3 hours. SGR was more excellent than GR on these effect. Also, these effects were transformed to the n-butanol fraction of methanol extract of SGR. From these results, it can be considered that SGR has antifatigue effect.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of roasted dried radish (RDR) against renal oxidative stress were examined in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. The HFD was prepared by adding lard to chow diet to provide 50% of the calories from fat. Hot water extracts of dried radish (DR) or RDR were administered orally to mice at 237 mg/kg bw/day, whereas distilled water was administered as a vehicle for 12 weeks. Compared to the control group, renal reactive oxygen species, peroxynitrite, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance level in the DR or RDR group were significantly decreased, whereas the glutathione level was increased (p<0.05). Protein expressions of antioxidant factors such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2, heme oxygenase-1, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were significantly increased in the DR and RDR groups; however, nuclear factor-kappa B expression was suppressed (p<0.05). These antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of RDR were found to be significantly greater than those of DR.

Purpose: Astragalus membranaceus (AM) is an important traditional medicinal herb. Pharmacological research has indicated that AM has various physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, anticancer, hypolipidemic, antihyperglycemic, and hepatoprotective activities. The bioactive substances responsible for the physiological activities in AM, including many antioxidant substances, change during the roasting process. This study investigated and compared the changes in the antioxidant constituents of AM caused by roasting. Methods: DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) and $ABTS^+$ (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt) radical scavenging activities and their total phenolic content (TPC) were measured. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed to confirm any changes in the isoflavonoids of roasted AM (R-AM),. The cell viability of UVB-induced HDF (Human dermal fibroblast) cells treated with AM and R-AM extracts was investigated. The comet assay was used to examine the inhibitory effects of R-AM extracts on DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. Results: The DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities were $564.6{\pm}20.9$ and $108.2{\pm}3.1$ ($IC_{50}$ value) respectively, from the 2R-AM. The total phenol content was $47.80{\pm}1.40mg$ GAE/g from the 1R-AM. The values of calycosin and formononetin, which are the known isoflavonoid constituents of AM, were $778.58{\pm}2.72$ and $726.80{\pm}3.45{\mu}g/g$ respectively, from the 2R-AM. Treatment of the HDF cells with R-AM ($50{\sim}200{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect the cell viability. Furthermore, the R-AM extracts effectively protected against UVB-induced DNA damage. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that R-AM increases its isoflavonoid constituents and protects against UVB-induced DNA damage in HDF cells.
