Natural red colorants were extracted from Phytolacca americana Linne by using 50% ethanol solution at room temperature for 12 hours. The colorant components were partially purified as yellow and deep red colorants by thin layer chromatography. Natural red colorants were consisted of major water-soluble red colorant, having maximum absorbance at 538nm and alcohol-soluble yellow colorant, having maximum absorbance at 664nm. Concentration of red colorants were calibrated by the equation of dye(mg/ml) $A_{538nm}\times{1.284}$. Red colorants were changed to yellow at extreme alkali pH and repaired 55% color intensity by neutralization of pH and stabled below $55^\circ{C}$. Dyeability of red colorants against wool fabrics was mainly operated by red pigment having 538nm absorbance without big color differences. Below $55^\circ{C}$, color differences $(\Delta{E}^*_{ab})$ were not changed in spite of big difference of chroma$(c^*)$, having higher scores at higher temperature. The effect of mordants were not drastically changed parameters of color difference without copper ion. Citric acid was big changes of color difference$(\Delta{E}^*_{ab})$ in spite of similar chroma$(c^*)$ values. From these experimental results, red colorants from Phytolacca americana Linne is available for wool fabric dyeing.

In this experiment, sliced yams (5 mm size) were used for research. Alcohol treatment and blanching treatment were used in this experiments. Color change, hardness, microorganism total count, and PPO activity of the packaged yam were measured. In result, colors of the treated yam were significantly changed in alcohol treatment with different concentration. 5% alcohol treatment is better than 10% alcohol treatment in browning inhibition of fresh-cut yam. But in blanching treatment, color change had no significant different. PPO activity of 1 min blanching packaged yam were decreased 50% and PPO activity of 5 min blanching packaged yam were decreased 85%. In the case of hardness were decreased in both experimental groups. especially 1 min, 3 min and 5 min blanching films, hardness were decreased more than 10 N. Also, both treatments are inhibited the growth of microorganisms effectively.

The effects of roasting Cassia tora L. were investigated for proximate composition, color, volatile flavor profile, microbial growth and alcohol fermentation. While moisture, protein and fat contents decreased with increasing roasting temperature, fiber and ash contents increased. The L, a and b values of Cassia tora L. extracts decreased with increasing temperature, and only a small difference in total color difference$({\Delta}E)$ was observed. A little difference in major flavor components between raw and roasted treatment was found during roasting. Furfuryl alcohol, a major component of coffee flavor, was separated from Cassia tora L. extracts extracted with ethyl ether. The yeast growth was the highest on the water-extract of Cassia tora L. roasted at $160^{\circ}C$. With increased levels of water-extract at $160^{\circ}C$, S. cerevisiae grew rapidly for 24 hr incubation and the growth rate was higher than the unroasted control group. The growth rate of Bacillus subtilis was the highest in a treatment of 0.5% concentration. Little differences in ${\alpha}-amylase$ produced from Bacillus subtilis were observed among the treatment groups. The total alcohol content increased with increasing roasting temperature during alcohol fermentation.

Purpose: This study is to investigate the distribution of natural tooth shades in the Korean elderly population to quantify the correlation and changes of tooth color with age and gender. In addition, the possible effects of habits on tooth color were assessed. Materials and Methods: The tooth color of one of the maxillary central incisors of 200 Korean individuals aged 50 to 89 years, males and female, was measured using the portable intraoral spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V). CIELab and CIELCh color coordinates were recorded. We conducted the survey about the tobacco smoking, chronic disease, medication, eating habits, oral health behaviors and satisfaction with tooth color. Experimental data were statistically analyzed by using the t-test (P<0.05), two-way analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation test. Result: The most frequent color in the Korean elderly population was 3M3 & A3.5 shade. L^* and h^* values decreased, whereas C^*, a^* and b^* values increased progressively with age. There was a significant interaction between age and color coordinates for b^* values (r=0.245, P<0.05). Males generally have significantly higher C^*, a^*, b^* values and lower L^*, h^* value compared to females. Individuals who consumed alcohol had a higher L^* value (P<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, the central incisors were getting darker, more reddish, and yellowish with age. Information on the chromatic range of natural teeth by age and gender could help to select colors for esthetic dental restorations.

The objective of this study was to develop a functional vinegar beverage using yacon roots, and examine the components' changes during fermentation. The alcohol fermentation was conducted by inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae into yacon root juice with sugars. After 10 days of fermentation at $27^{\circ}C$, yacon wine contained 13% alcohol and $7.8^{\circ}Brix$ sugar contents. The yacon wine at 5% alcohol was fermented by Acetobacter aceti(KCTC1010) with 250 rpm agitation rate at $29^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. The acidity of yacon vinegar reached 4.4% after 12 days' fermentation. Statistically (p<0.05), the amount of Acetobacter aceti, pH, alcohol, with total polyphenol content of samples decreased with acidity, whereas individual sugar contents increased. Furthermore organic acids, total sugar, phenolic acids content, total antioxidant capacity, and color were not different among the five samples. The yacon vinegar beverage was prepared with high fructose syrup through the dilution of yacon vinegar. After making the yacon vinegar beverage, the pH, acidity, total sugar, and total microbial content were examined every week over 4 weeks' storage. There were no changes in the samples during that time.

Fermentation characteristics of kwahaju (a typical Korean traditional alcoholic beverage) base were investigated during fermentation with different contents of nuruk (Korean-style bran koji) extract. The nuruk extract which was prepared by incubating the mixture of nuruk powder and water at $25^{\circ}C$ overnight and by filtering it was used to be 0.6%, 2.7%, 5% and 10% (v/v). Total and reducing sugar contents as well as acidity of the kwahaju base with 0.6% nuruk extract were higher than those with 2.7%, 5% and 10% at the fermentation end. Final pH values of all the base samples were ranged from 3.3 to 4.1. Alcohol concentrations of the base samples with 2.7%, 5% and 10% nuruk extract were higher than those with 0.6%. Microbial growth rate was great and inner temperature was high in the sample with high content of nuruk extract, but fermentation period was short. Total sugar consumption and alcohol production increased as the content of nuruk extract increased, but total acid production decreased. The base sample with 10% nuruk extract showed the most excellent fermentation efficiency. Fusel oil content of the base sample with 2.7% nuruk extract was the highest (457.3 ppm), and those wity 5% and 10% nuruk extract were 438.9 ppm and 442.6 ppm, respectively. The sample with 0.6% nuruk extract had the lowest content (409.5 ppm). Sensory evaluation of both the kwahaju base and kwahaju mix with 25% and 40% alcohol by adding soju (Korean distilled liquor) showed that the base with 2.7% nuruk extract had the highest score, and that the kwahaju mix with 25% alcohol had higher score than that with 40%. The sensory results on overall desirability were consistent to those on color and alcohol concentration, and it turned out that the two factors were important to make kwahaju.

This study involved the production of specialty lager beers supplemented with Korean red ginseng extracts or Bokbunja (Korean black raspberry, Rubus coreanus Miquel) juice. The effects of the Korean red ginseng extracts or Bokbunja juice on the specific gravity, pH, yeast viability, free amino nitrogen content, reducing sugar content, color, alcohol content, turbidity, and sensory evaluation were evaluated. The alcohol content of the beers containing the extracts or juice were within the standard alcohol amounts (3.63-4.0%, v/v). The pH values of the three samples containing Bokbunja juice were lower than that of the control values. The sensory evaluation showed that the addition of Bokbunja juice was superior to the ginseng extracts, and the optimal addition time was before or after the secondary fermentation. These data indicate that the flavor and odor of the Bokbunja juice are more persistent than that of the ginseng extracts.

Recently, there is a trend to utilize natural dyes in many dyeing fields. In this work, the effects of benzyl alcohol in human hair dyeing with cochineal, a natural dye, was investigated. We investigated the K/S value and color value of dyed hair, water retention of dyed hair, protein release-ability of dyed hair, and wash fastness of dyed hair according to dyeing time and temperature. The shade of dyed hair was reddish. By adding benzyl alcohol in cochineal dyeing, the dyeing rate was increased and the dyeing equilibrium was established at early stage. The water retention of dyed hair was increased and the protein release-ability of dyed hair was decreased, meaning that the hair was less damaged during dyeing, The dyed hair showed a good wash fastness.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the quality characteristics (alcohol contents and antioxidant capacities) and sensory characteristics of the Korean traditional rice-based wine, Makgeolli supplemented with 5% and 10% Enteromorpha prolifera (Ep) during an 8-days cold storage at 4℃. The alcohol content in the unsupplemented Makgeolli (control) and Ep Makgeolli gradually increased from day 0 to day 8 (control, 2.05-8.03; 5% Ep, 2.15-9.03; 10% Ep, 3.15-10.07). The DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activities was significantly higher in the 10% Ep Makgeolli (75.87%) than 5% Ep Makgeolli (57.34%) and control (21.91%). The ABTS [2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] radical scavenging activities were also significantly higher in the 10% Ep Makgeolli (90.85%) than 5% Ep Makgeolli (75.94%) and control (47.21%). Makgeolli supplemented with 10% Ep had the highest color, smell, taste, and overall acceptance scores. The current study suggest that Makgeolli supplemented with 10% Ep could be potentially developed because of its high antioxidant properties and good consumer acceptance.
