This study was performed to investigate the effect of the health related factors on the preference and frequency of intake of coffee and traditional beverages among 280 university students (128 males and 152 females) who were residing in Incheon areas. The results were as follows; 1. Male students of over weight and obese were more than female students and female students of under weight were more than male students. Female students were interested in weight control and had an experience in weight control more than male students. 2. The group who was much interested in weight control preferred green tea, yuja tea and dunggulre tea. The group who was much interested in health when drink beverages preferred green tea, ginseng tea, dunggulre tea, vinegar drinks and water but didn’t prefer coffee. 3. The frequency of intake of green tea is high in the group who had an experience in weight control. And the frequency of intake of honey tea was high in the group who drank alcohol almost every day. Coffee intake was the highest among beverages in smokers and water intake was the highest among beverages in nonsmokers. In conclusion this study showed that as an interest in health is higher, the preference and frequency of intake of coffee was low whereas those who intake of traditional beverages was high in general.

Content analysis of flavonoids (epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and rutin) present in the leaves of Boehmeria nivea (originating from Geumsan-myeon, Biin-myeon, Hansan-myeon, and Baeksu-eup) and their commercial products (ramie tteok, ramie songpyeon, ramie bory-tteok, and ramie tea) was conducted by HPLC. The content of epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and rutin was highest in the leaves of B. nivea from Geumsan-myeon (0.138 mg/g), Baeksu-eup (1.654 mg/g) and Geumsan-myeon (12.205 mg/g), respectively. With respect to commercial products, the content of epicatechin and epicatechin gallate was highest in ramie tea, with concentrations of 1.879 and 1.090 mg/g, respectively. Given these flavonoid concentrations, B. nivea leaf extracts have the potential to be used as additives in natural medicinal products, health supplements, and beverages.

Antibacterial activity of essential oils (Tea tree, Chamomile, Eucalyptus) on Staphylococcus aureus growth was evaluated as well as the essential oil-loaded alginate beads. The binding interactions between the cell and the essential oils were measured using an optical biosensor. The antibacterial activity of the essential oils to the cell was evaluated with their binding interaction and affinity. The antibacterial activity appeared in the order of Tea Tree>Chamomile>Eucalyptus, in comparison of the inhibition effects of the cell growth to the essential oils. The association rate constant and affinity of the cell binding on Tea Tree essential oil were $5.0{\times}10^{-13}\;ml/(CFU{\cdot}s)$ and $5.0{\times}10^5\;ml/CFU$, respectively. The affinity of the cell binding on Tea Tree was about twice higher than those on the other essential oils. It might be possible that an effective antibacterial activity of Tea Tree essential oil was derived from its strong adhesive ability to the cell, more so than those of the other essential oils.

녹차에 대한 보이차의 항산화력을 알아보기 위해 물 추출물과 메탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과를 비교$\cdot$조사하였다. 총 폴리페놀의 함량은 물 추출물의 경우 녹차와 보이차가 비슷하였으며 메탄올 추출물의 경우는 보이차의 함량이 녹차의 약 $58\%$정도 밖에 되지 않았다. 전자공여능은 물 추출물의 경우 녹차와 보이차가 거의 유사하였으며 메탄올추출물의 경우 보이차가 녹차의 $54\%$정도였다. SOD 유사 활성은 용매간에 많은 차이가 있었는데 물 추출물의 활성은 $13.46\~14.07\%$로 녹차와 보이차간에는 거의 차이가 없었으나 메탄올 추출물의 활성은 녹차가 $59.63\%$, 보이차가 $48.93\%$로 물 추출물보다 $3\~4$배 높았으며 또한 녹차가 활성이 높았다. 아질산염 소거능은 물 추출물의 경우 녹차와 보이차간에 거의 차이가 없었으며 메탄올 추출물은 보이차가 녹차보다 다소 효과가 높았다. ACE 저해 활성은 물 추출물의 경우 보이차가 녹차보다 약 $38\%$ 정도 활성이 높았으나 메탄올 추출물은 반대로 녹차가 보이차보다 활성이 높았다. 이상의 연구 결과 보이차의 물추출물 항산화력은 녹차와 비슷하였으나 오히려 ACE 저해활성만은 높은 값을 나타내었고 메탄올 추출물에서는 보이차는 녹차보다 항산화력이 전반적으로 낮았으나 아질산염 소거능만은 높았다.

흰쥐의 간장에서 납 독성에 대한 녹차의 방어효과를 알아보기 위하여 150g 내외의 흰쥐를 대조군, 납 단독 투여군, 납-녹차투여군으로 나누어 4주, 8주간 lead acetate (500 ppm)를 1주에 2번씩 복강 투여하였고, 녹차침수액 (3g of tea/100 ml of water)은 식수로 공급하였다. A-1군은 사립체와 rER의 수조가 팽대되고, 유리 리보솜의 수가 증가되었다. 다수의 리소좀이 관찰되었다. A-2군은 사립체가 팽대되었고, 리소좀이 관찰되고 핵은 정상으로 나타딘다. B-1군은 rER의 수조가 심하게 팽대, 감소되었고 다수의 리소좀이 관찰되었다. 사립체의 수는 감소하고 사립체능이 손실, 절단되고 모양은 변형되었다. 핵이 약간 함입되어 불규칙하였다. B-2군은 B-l군보다 rER과 사립체의 수가 증가하고, 핵은 정상으로 관찰되었다.

The antioxidative effect of the extracts from the leaves and fruits of Acer ginnala against free radicals was studied by two different methods using DPPH radical-generating system, and hydroxyl radical-generating system $(Cu^{++}/H_2O_2\;system)$ which induces DNA strand breaking. Compared with well known antioxidative plants, green tea, Scutellaria baicalensis, the Acer ginnala extracts showed excellent radical-scavenging activity in DPPH radical-generating system and inhibited effectively hydroxyl radical induced-DNA strand breaking in a concentration-dependent manner in $Cu^{++}/H_2O_2$ system whereas the green tea extract stimulated the strand breaking at a low concentration. These results suggest that he extracts from the leaves and fruits of Acer ginnula could be good antioxidative agents.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of mulberry fruit tea (MFT) on the levels of serum lipid profiles and serum cardiovascular disease markers in sixty middle-aged people(30 males and 30 females) who consumed MFT for 4 weeks. Anthropometric measurements, serum lipid profile levels, and serum cardiovascular disease markers were analyzed before and after consumption of MFT. After consumption of MFT, no significant differences were observed in anthropometric measurements, levels of serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) in males and females. Among serum lipid profiles, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol were decreased significantly, whereas HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased.

Antibacterial activities of the major phenolic components from Camellia sinensis L. were investigated against several pathogenic microorganisms including Gram-positive strains like Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Streptococcus pyogens 308A; and Gram-negative strains like Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Escherichia coli 078, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 9027, and Enterobacter cloacae 1321E. The MIC values demonstrate that both (-)-epicatechin and (-)-epigallocatechin were more considerably toxic against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 than the other two catechins like (-)-epicatechingallate and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate. (-)-Epicatechingallate and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate were most inhibitory against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. As a result, (-)-epicatechin showed predominant antibacterial activities among tea varieties. The contents of major polyphenolic components such as four catechins, theaflavin, and quercetin were different according to fermentation processes. The total contents of four catechins were ranged from 13.81 to 1.33%, with (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate being dominant among tea varieties; theaflavin was found the characteristic pigment in fully-fermented black tea.
