Aroma oils extracted from the natural material have antibacterial, antivirus, antiinflammatory, and preservative effect. The preserve efficacy testing between aroma oils and parabens as an artificial preservative had been performed and then it had been suggested that aroma oil was possibile to apply to the cosmetics. Aroma oils were pine, rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus, and parabens were methylparaben, blitylparaben. Antiseptic concentrations of aroma oils and parabens having 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0wt% were tested respectively. Escherichia coil(ATCC No.8739), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(ATCC No. 9027) which are gram-negative and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC No. 6538), Bacillus subtilis(ATCC No. 6633) which are gram-positive were used as the test organisms. Disk paper and broth dilution methods were used as the methods of preservative efficacy testing. The antibacterial activity of aroma oils and parabens for gram-positive were better than that for gram-negative. For the antibacterial activity aroma oils were better than parabens. Among the aroma oils, rosemary and pine having superior antibacterial activity were selected and blended to illuminate if there is any synergy, There was synergical effect and optimum ratio of aroma blend is 3 : 1(rosemary pine) in this study.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of rooting volume on the productivity of fresh shoots when growing rosemary in multi-layer cultivation. The 10 cm middle cuttings from which the common rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) apical bud was removed were planted in a 128-hole tray, rooted, and then transplanted into pots of 125, 200, 550, 750, 1,300, and 2,000 mL to determine the growth characteristics and quantity of young shoots of 1-year-old and 2-year-old rosemary. In the case of 1-year-old rosemary, there was no clear difference in initial growth (30 days after transplanting) between treatments in pot size larger than 550 mL, in the case of 2-year-old rosemary, growth tend to be proportional as the pot became larger. The fresh weight of the underground part of 1-year-old and 2-year-old rosemary was the lowest at 6.9 g and 24.4 g, respectively, when surveyed on July 25 in a 550 mL container, and 10.3 g and 24.9 g, respectively, when surveyed on November 24, and there was a difference between treatments in containers of 750 to 2,000 mL. On the other hand, in the case of 1-year-old rosemary, the fresh weight of the above-ground part increased as the pot became larger, but there was no statistical difference above 1,300 mL, and the fresh weight of 2-year-old rosemary was also significantly higher as the pot became larger. The quality of young shoots was the best for 1-year-old rosemary in a pot of 2,000 mL, but for 2-year-old rosemary, there was a difference in quality depending on the season. Shoot productivity per unit pot was highest at 1,300 mL, but when converted to per unit area, the best was observed at 750 mL. Therefore, the most suitable pot size for intensive production through multi-layer cultivation of rosemary young shoots is judged to be 750 mL (12.5 × 11.5 cm).

The quality and sensory characteristics of kimchi added various levels of rosemary leaf during fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$ were evaluated. Rosemary leaf amounts were added 0.5g(R0.5%), 1g(R1%), 1.5g(R1.5%) per brined chinese cabbage 100g. The pHs and reducing sugar contents of all experimental groups decreased with increasing the fermentation time, whereas levels of titratible acidity increased. The pHs and reducing sugar contents of experimental groups added rosemary leaf showed higher than control, but titratible acidity of these groups showed lower. Also, the period reached the maximum levels of the log number of lactic acid bacteria counts(cfu/ml) and total viable bacteria counts(cfu/ml) of experimental groups added rosemary leaf were more delayed than control. These results showed that the fermentation of experimental groups added various levels of rosemary leaf were slower than that of control. On the 5th day of fermentation which had most delicious kimchi flavor, the sensory evaluation analyzed by ANOVA followed Duncan's multiple range test showed that sour smell of experimental groups added rosemary leaf was significantly lower, but green flavor and green smell of these groups were significantly higher than control(p<0.05). The most preference among experimental groups was R0.5% and next was control, R1.5%, R1%.

Constituents of the essential oil (EO)s and hydrosol of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The identified major constituents were ${\alpha}$-pinene (40.96%), camphor (34.44%), verbenone (45.31%), and camphor (67.04%) in rosemary EO, lavender EO, rosemary hydrosol, and lavender hydrosol, respectively. The antioxidant activity of EO and hydrosol extracted from rosemary and lavender were evaluated. Both EO showed di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) iminoazanium (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) free radical scavenging activities as well as $Fe^{2+}$ ion chelating activity but no alkyl radical scavenging activity. Rosemary EO showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than lavender, whereas lavender EO showed higher $Fe^{2+}$ ion chelating activity. Both rosemary and lavender hydrosols showed alkyl radical scavenging activity, but only lavender hydrosol showed an activity on $Fe^{2+}$ chelating assay. Both rosemary and lavender hydrosols also protected the dermal fibroblast and the HaCaT keratinocytes against $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the functional properties of onion, rosemary and thyme extracts which are the ingredients of onion Kimchi. Onion extract showed a significant difference in antioxidative effect based on peroxide value and thiocyanate method. Antioxidative activity of rosemary extract was similar to those of BHA and BHT. but thyme extract did not show any antioxidative effect.. Onion, rosemary, and thyme extracts showed antimicrobial activities against gram positive bacteria but onion and thyme extracts did not against E. coli, Candida, and molds. Rosemary extract demonstrated a strong activity against L. plantarum which is a major lactobacillus in Kimchi fermentation, and Micrococcus luteus. Onion, rosemary, and thyme extracts showed an effect or hangover relief effect by lowering the alcohol concentration of blood in rat. Blood pressure of the male spontaneous hypertensive rat was suppressed by onion extract after 3 days of feeding, but rosemary and thyme extracts were not effective for lowering blood pressure.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined treatment effect of gamma irradiation and rosemary extract powder on ready-to-eat hamburger steaks. After irradiation at 5, 10 and 20 k㏉, hamburger steaks manufactured with rosemary extract powder (200 and 500 ppm) were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months and at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks. Total aerobic bacteria count of the ready-to-eat hamburger steak was approximately 5 log CFU/g level. All doses of gamma irradiation were effective in reducing the population of total aerobic bacteria and coliform bacteria in hamburger steaks. In hamburger steaks irradiated at 20 k㏉, tile microbial growth was not observed during storage. The shelf-life of hamburger steaks were determined by microbiological counts of 10$^{6}$ ∼10$^{7}$ CFU/g and those of the steaks irradiated at 0, 5 and 10 k㏉ were ranged among 14, 28∼42 and 98∼112 days, respectively. The shelf-life of both irradiated hamburger steaks added with 500 ppm rosemary extract powder at 5 and 10 k㏉ was extended more 14 days than non-added sample. Results suggested that both gamma irradiation and rosemary extract powder may improve the shelf-stability of ready-to-eat ham-burger steak. However, when the storage temperature was abused (3$0^{\circ}C$), the rosemary extract powder had not sufficient effect on the shelf- stability of hamburger steaks.

To develop natural antioxidant from spices and control thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil, the available antioxidative compounds of various spices were extracted with edible soybean oil. The storage stability of the oil mixed with purified sardine oil and soybean oil containing that extracts at $37^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Furthermore the antioxidative activity of petroleum ether soluble fractions(PESF) obtained from rosemary on the thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil during heating at $180^{\circ}C$ were also investigated. By mixing with refined sardine oil and soybean oil extracts of rosemary, sage of herb spices and mace of seed spices, the oxidative stabilities were remarkably increased. The thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil was also supressed by the addition of 1.0%(w/w) of PESF obtained from rosemary. Rosemary extract exhibited higher antioxidative activity on thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil than butylated hydroxytoluene.

The objective of this study was to compare antioxidant activities of green tea, rosemary, lemon and bamboo leaves extracts using three different extraction methods (80% ethanol sonication extraction, distilled water autoclave extraction, distilled water extraction at room temperature). As a result, green tea and rosemary extracts showed relatively high antioxidant activities compared with those of lemon and bamboo leaves. These green tea and rosemary extracts were subsequently added to soymilk and their mixtures were examined for antioxidant activities. Soymilk added with 10% green tea distilled water autoclave extracts and distilled water at room temperature extracts showed relatively high DPPH, $85.09{\pm}2.26%$, $84.38{\pm}1.97%$, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, $73.43{\pm}2.78%$, $81.34{\pm}4.78%$, respectively. On the other hand, soymilk added with 10% rosemary distilled water autoclave extracts showed remarkably higher DPPH radical scavenging activity while their ABTS radical scavenging ability was similar to that of non-added soymilk. In conclusion, our results suggest that the addition of green tea distilled water autoclave extracts, distilled water at room temperature extracts and rosemary distilled water autoclave extracts to soymilk could contribute to the development of added value soymilk products with increased antioxidant activities.

In this study, we investigated the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of methanol extracts from 6 plants which were Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herb. var. latilobum (Maxim.) Kitamura (Gu-jeol-cho), Lavandula spica L. (Lavender), Rosmainus offcinals L. (Rosemary), Cymbopogon citrates (Lemongrass), Saussureae radix (Mok-hyang), Calendular officinalis L. (Calendular). Antioxidative effects of herbal extracts were measured by polyphenols, flavonoids contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity assay. We also evaluated the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Methanol extracts from Gu-jeol-cho, lavender, rosemary and lemongrass showed high polyphenols contents as well as strong DPPH scavenging activity. In particular, rosemary extract contained highest polyphenol levels as $126.69{\pm}2.62{\mu}g/mg$ compared to other herbs. As for DPPH radical scavenging activities, $IC_{50}$ values of rosemary extracts were $6.23{\pm}0.58{\mu}g/mL$. The rosemary extracts also showed higher antibacterial effects against S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. These results indicate that rosemary could be used as natural antioxidant and antibacterial agents.
