This study was performed in order to determine the processing conditions (pre-drying at room temperature for 0 or 30 min, frying at $160^{\circ}C$ for 1 min or at $180^{\circ}C$ for 40 sec, and soaking for 0~24 h) of Sasambeong recorded in the "Sumunsasul". The Sasambeong was evaluated for crude lipid content, hardness, Hunter's color values, and sensory characteristics. After pre-drying at room temperature for 30 min, the crude lipid contents and hardness of Sasambeong were significantly increased. In addition, the crude lipid content and hardness of Sasambeong did not differ significantly according to the frying conditions. After pre-drying, the sensory characteristics of Sasambeong showed more improvement. The crude lipid content, hardness, Hunter's color values, and sensory characteristics of Sasambeong, which were prepared according to different soaking times (0, 6, 12, or 24 hr) were investigated. As soaking time increased, the crude lipid content and hardness of Sasambeong decreased with a range of 25.43~24.31% and 525.90~388.98 g, respectively. The sensory characteristics of Sasambeong showed no significant difference according to the soaking time. Overall, we think that the best processing conditions of Sasambeong were pre-drying at room temperature for 30 min and then frying at $160^{\circ}C$ for 1 min.

This study was carried out to elucidate residual characteristics of environment friendly agricultural material rotenone in chilli pepper and calculate processing factors by drying. The test material was sprayed twice onto chilli peppers at an interval of seven days and then the chilli peppers were harvested at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after final spray. Limits of quantitation (LOQs) of rotenone in fresh and dried chilli peppers were 0.03 and 0.07 mg/kg, respectively. Recoveries of the test material in fresh and dried chilli peppers ranged from 89.52 to 97.86% and from 85.76 to 91.61%, respectively. As a results of residual material analysis, amounts of rotenone in fresh and dried chilli peppers ranged from 0.03 to 0.39 mg/kg and from 0.07 to 0.75 mg/kg, respectively, representing that the residual amounts of rotenone decreased time-coursely. Processing factors of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper by drying were found to be from 2.03 to 3.13, indicating that the residual concentration of rotenone in dried chilli pepper increased from two to three times by drying. However, the reduction factor of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper by drying ranged from 0.38 to 0.59, representing that some of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper disappeared during the drying process.

This study was conducted to optimize the processing of seasoned salmon Oncorhynchus keta jerky (SSJ) using response surface methodology (RSM). For seasoning sauces-blending conditions of jerky using the RSM program, salt [X₁, % (w/v)] and amino-basic material [X₂, % (w/v)] were chosen as independent variables, and salinity (Y₁) and amino-N (Y₂) were chosen as dependent variables. The optimum conditions of X₁ and X₂ were 1.2% and 12.9%, respectively. To optimize drying conditions of seasoned salmon jerky using RSM program, soaking time (X₁, min), drying temperature (X₂, ℃) and drying time (X₃, min) were chosen as independent variables, and moisture content (Y₁), hardness (Y₂) and overall acceptance (Y₃) were chosen as dependent variables. Optimum conditions of X₁, X₂ and X₃ were 183.0 min, 62.5℃ and 351.0 min, respectively. In the sensory evaluation, the scores for taste, flavor, and texture for of SSJ were higher than those for a commercial product. The results suggest that the developed seasoned salmon jerky can be industrialized.

We have conducted to characterize the physico-chemical change and pharmacological transformation of traditional herbal medicines by means of processing. Processed Gardeniae Fructus was prepared by heating of fruit of Gardenia jasminoides(GF) for $30{\sim}50\;minute$ in the roster designed for herb processing. The contents of drying loss, water extract, diluted ethanol extract, ether extract and geniposide in non-processed GF and processed GF were examined. The contents of drying loss, water extract and geniposide in processed GF showed a decrease as compared with those of non-processed GF, however the contents of dilute ethanol and ether extract showed a increase as compared with those of non-processed GF. The rate of decrease/increase of those index were in proportion to heating time. And, biological activities of methanol extract of non-processed GF and processed GF were investigated. DPPH scavenging effects and inhibitory effect of xanthine oxidate and hemolysis of processed GF exhibited more effective than those of non-processed GF in vitro. Accelerating effect of large intestinal transport and purgative action of non- processed GF were discriminated by processing of GF. Methanol extracts of non-pro- cessed GF and processed GF showed the protective effects against the hepatotoxicity induced by ${\alpha}-naphthylisothiocyanate$ in rats. These results suggested that the transformation of biological activities of GF by means of processing may be due to the physico-chemical change of the constituents in GF by heating.

Red ginseng is made of white ginseng through the steaming and drying procedure. In this process, the amounts of toxic elements of ginseng are decreased and those of effective components, ginsenosides are increased. In order to identify the components alteration of white ginseng by processing time, we applied HPLC-based metabolomics approach combined with the principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate analysis. White ginsengs were steamed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 h, respectively and followed by drying process at moderate temperature. Then the steamed ginsengs and the commercial red ginsengs were analyzed by HPLC. On the basis of HPLC results, PCA multivariate analysis was applied for evaluating the quality of red ginseng, which showed the processed ginsengs are grouped by processed time because less polar ginsenosides were increased in proportion as the steaming time was increased. The purchased red ginsengs were distributed in the range of $0{\sim}1$ hour steaming time. This pilot experiment suggests that HPLC-based metabolomics approach is able to allow the quality of herbal medicines to be controlled with a simple and economic method.

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to determine characteristics of residual pesticides in time-dependent manner and calculate half-lives of the residual pesticides in fresh and dried Chinese matrimony vine. In addition, processing factors were calculated based on the residual concentrations in them. METHODS AND RESULTS: The test pesticides, etofenprox and fenitrothion, were sprayed onto the Chinese matrimony vine plants at once or twice (at seven-day interval) and then samples were collected at 0 (after 3 hours), 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after the last spraying. Dried samples were prepared in hot-air drying oven at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours until water content of less than 20%. Residual concentrations of etofenprox in fresh and dried samples decreased by 54.0-60.9% after 7 days of the last pesticide-application. In case of fenitrothion, the concentrations were found to have decreased by 69.2-76.5%. Processing factors of etofenprox were 2.6-3.0 for the one-time spraying and 2.5-3.0 for the two-time spraying and those of fenitrothion were found to be 1.5-22 for the one-time spraying and 1.6-2.0 for the two-time spraying. First half-lives of etofenprox and fenitrothion in fresh and dried samples ranged from 5.0 to 6.3 and from 3.4 to 4.0 days, respectively. The third half-lives were found to be 15.0-18.9 and 10.2-12.1 days, respectively. CONCLUSION: Residual concentrations of the tested pesticides in the studied crop decreased, but those in the dried samples appeared to have increased. In addition, processing factor and half life were constant regardless of spraying times.

Optimal conditions for processing. of seasoned-dried Pacific saury treated with liquid smoke (T2) were evaluated by physicochemical and microbial experiments and sensory evaluation, comparing with control (seasoning only, C) and treatment I $(0.05\%\;Rosemary\;instead\;of\;liquid\;smoke,\;Tl)$. Two hrs of seasoning time was set, and 23 hrs of drying time was determined in all samples. Finally, T2 product was made by soaking treatments (three times of 1 sec, 8 sec and 1 sec) in $5\%$ (v/v) liquid smoke (Scansmoke PB 2110) after 30 min, 4 hrs and 22 hrs of hot-air drying, respectively. The histamine contents in 3 seasoned-dried products were in a 15.33-26.99 mg/l00g range. The water activities of 3 seasoned-dried products were 0.719-0.735 range, and the pH of T2 was lower than the others. In the comparison of POV and TBA values among products, the TBA values and POV of Tl and T2 were significantly low compared to C, and also the viable cell counts of T2 was relatively lower than those of the others. In the color values, significant changes were not found among products, and in the sensory evaluation for odor, taste and overall acceptance, T2 had relatively higher preference on the whole items.

6-Shogaol, a dehydrated form of 6-gingerol, is a minor component in ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and has recently been reported to have more potent bioactivity than 6-gingerol. Based on the thermal instability of gingerols (their dehydration to corresponding shogaols at high temperature), we aimed to develop an optimal process to maximize the 6-shogaol content during ginger extraction by modulating temperature and pH. Fresh gingers were dried under various conditions: freeze-, room temperature (RT)- or convection oven-drying at 60 or $80^{\circ}C$, and extracted by 95% ethanol at RT, 60 or $80^{\circ}C$. The content of 6-shogaol was augmented by increasing both drying and extraction temperatures. The highest production of 6-shogaol was achieved at $80^{\circ}C$ extraction after drying at the same temperature and the content of 6-shogaol was about 7-fold compared to the lowest producing process by freezing and extraction at RT. Adjustment of pH (pH 1, 4, 7 and 10) for the 6-shogaol-richest extract (dried and extracted both at $80^{\circ}C$) also affected the chemical composition of ginger and the yield of 6-shogaol was maximized at the most acidic condition of pH 1. Taken together, the current study shows for the first time that a maximized production of 6-shogaol can be achieved during practical drying and extraction process of ginger by increasing both drying and extracting temperatures. Adjustment of pH to extraction solvent with strong acid also helps increase the production of 6-shogaol. Our data could be usefully employed in the fields of food processing as well as nutraceutical industry.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how microwave drying, a method to minimize the scent and physicochemical changes of the final products, affects the quality characteristics of various herbs according to treatment intensity (pulse and continuous waves) and time. In the current study, different physicochemical qualities, such as weight change, moisture content, water activity, color, and microbial growth, of five different Korean herbs were analyzed after microwave drying. The results clearly showed that the pulse wave method was a more effective approach than the continuous wave method for maintaining the physicochemical properties of herbs. Furthermore, pulse wave drying lead to efficient microbial death in various herbs after a short time. Thus, microwave drying with a pulse wave can be applied to herb processing and packaging technology while minimizing the quality changes of herbs.
