The effect of sodium metabisulfite and adipic acid on the color changes of garlic juice was evaluated. The garlic(Uisung variety) juice was extracted and 1% sodium metabisulfite and 1% adipic arid were added to the garlic juice before or after concentration. Garlic juice was concentrated by heating at 90$\^{C}$, by heating using a rotary vacuum evaporator at 45$\^{C}$, or by freeze-drying at -50$\^{C}$ until the volume was reduced to 70% of the original volume. The garlic juice concentrate was kept at 4$\^{C}$ and 25$\^{C}$ for 60 days and evaluated for the color change and the relation between the additives and browning. Browning of the garlic juice concentrate containing adipic acid and sodium metabisulfite was effectively inhibited compared with the control. Inhibition effect of sodium metabisulfite on the browning of the concentrate was stronger than that of adipic acid. The addition of sodium metabisulfite afrer concentration of garlic juice was the most effective on browning inhibition in the 9$\^{C}$-heated concentrate, but the addition of sodium metabisulfite before concentration was the most effective in the 45$\^{C}$-heated concentrate and the -50$\^{C}$-freeze-dried concentrate. In the color change of the garlic juice concentrate during the storage, a and b values of the concentrate with sodium metabisulfite were lower than those of the control, which means that sodium metabisulfite inhibited the browning of the garlic juice concentrate.

Silkworms have traditionally been used to produce silk and textiles. However, steamed and freeze-dried mature silkworm larval powder (SMSP) contain large amounts of amino acids, vitamins, and essential minerals. In this study, we investigated the potential of SMSP as a hangover-relieving agent. Thirty individuals who met the selection criteria and exclusion criteria were included in the study and subsequently underwent a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-design human application test. Importantly, the test product containing SMSP (CKDHC) was proven to alleviate hangovers through a significant reduction in the plasma concentration of acetaldehyde in the context of an alcohol-induced hangover model. In particular, from 0.5 h after SMSP intake, the blood acetaldehyde concentration (mg/L), area under the time curve (AUC; indicating the degree of bioabsorption of blood acetaldehyde), and the highest blood acetaldehyde concentration (Cmax) were reduced. Altogether, these results suggest that the test product (CKDHC) exhibits an accelerated hangover-relieving effect.

This study was performed to investigate the possible effect of garlic produced in Korea on the inhibition/reduction of growth of A. parasiticus, a toxigenic strain. The effect was studied using different concentrations of freeze-dried garlic in potato-dextrose agar (PDA) and/or in yeast-extract sucrose (YES) broth at $25^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. While inhibition of the fungal growth due to increasing the concentration of garlic was observed, the more remarkable effect was observed on the ninth day. Reduction of fungal diameter as a result of addition of garlic on PDA was observed to range between 3.4% to 20.1 % while reduction of mycelial weight in YES broth ranged from 9.9% to 30.5%. The 0.5% and 1.0% concentrations of garlic significantly reduced fungal diameter in PDA on the 9th day, while 0.1 %, 0.5%, and 1.0% concentrations of garlic significantly reduced the mycelial weight in YES broth (p<0.05). Dose-response relationships were observed between the concentration of garlic and inhibition of growth both in solid culture and in liquid culture. This study indicates that garlic could be an effective inhibitor at a human consumption level of the growth of A. parasiticus. More research is needed to study the inhibitory effects of the main active component of garlic.

Radical scavenging and antioxidant activities of Laminaria japonica and fermented its extracts were evaluated. Freeze-dried L. japonica was fermented by Aspergillus oryzae and extracted with distilled water. The extract solution was mixed with ethanol and centrifuged. The supernatant was ethanol soluble fraction, non-polysaccharide fraction (ESF), and residue was ethanol insoluble precipitation, polysaccharide fraction (EIP). ESF was subjected to sequential fractionation with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. To determine the radical scavenging and antioxidant activities of these, DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical scavenging activities and linoleic acid oxidation were tested. Among the extracts, ESF of fermented L. japonica showed the highest radical scavenging activity. The ESF showed DPPH radical scavenging activity of 64.33% at concentration of $50{\mu}g/mL$. It was higher than 57.70% of vit. C. Ethyl acetate and butanol fraction had high value of radical scavenging and antioxidant activities, especially butanol fraction of fermented L. japonica was 79.48 % of hydroxyl radical scavenging activity at concentration of $50{\mu}g/mL$. The fermented L japonica had radical scavenging and antioxidant activities higher than L. japonica. These results suggest that fermented L japonica is healthy food having radical scavenging and antioxidant activities.

Freeze-dried broccoli powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at 170${^{\circ}C}$ for 8 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. The pH and moisture content were ranged 6.74-6.90 and 2.67-4.12% (wet basis) depending on the broccoli powder level, respectively. Lightness (L$^{\ast}$-value), redness (a$^{\ast}$-value), and hardness decreased while yellowness (b$^{\ast}$-value) increased significantly as the broccoli powder content increased (p<0.05). Spread factor of the control was significantly lower than that of samples containing broccoli powder regardless of the concentration (p<0.05) and increased significantly with increase in broccoli powder content (p<0.05). The broccoli concentration correlated significantly with most of properties except for pH and spread factor (p<0.05 or p<0.01). Hardness correlated negatively with moisture content (p<0.05) but correlated positively with spread factor (p<0.01).

This study investigates the effects of the gelatin concentration (10-40%, w/v), freezing temperatures (from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $-50^{\circ}C$) and freezing methods on the structural and physical properties of gelatin matrices. To freeze gelatin, the pressure-shift freezing (PSF) is being applied at 0.1 (under atmospheric control), 50 and 100 MPa, respectively. The freezing point of gelatin solutions decrease with increasing gelatin concentrations, from $-0.2^{\circ}C$ (10% gelatin) to $-6.7^{\circ}C$ (40% gelatin), while the extent of supercooling did not show any specific trends. The rheological properties of the gelatin indicate that both the storage (G') and loss (G") moduli were steady in the strain amplitude range of 0.1-10%. To characterize gelatin matrices formed by the various freezing methods, the ice crystal sizes which were being determined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are affected by the gelatin concentrations. The ice crystal sizes are affected by gelatin concentrations and freezing temperature, while the size distributions of ice crystals depend on the freezing methods. Smaller ice crystals are being formed with PSF rather than under the atmospheric control where the freezing temperature is above $-40^{\circ}C$. Thus, the results of this study indicate that the PSF processing at a very low freezing temperature ($-50^{\circ}C$) offers a potential advantage over commercial atmospheric freezing points for the formation of small ice crystals.

In this study, the effect of spray-drying conditions and surfactant addition on the spray-drying yield, morphological characterization, size distribution and re-dispersity in water of spray-dried lignocellulose nanofibril (LCNF) were investigated. The freeze-dried LCNF after solvent exchange had linear fiber morphology with a diameter of 70-300 nm, and the spray-dried LCNF showed rod-like particle morphology. The spray-drying yield and particle size of spary-dried LCNF at $140^{\circ}C$ was highest and smallest, respectively. As LCNF concentration and blowing rate decreased and increased, respectively, the spray-drying yield and particle size were increased. The highest spray-drying yield was found at distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) addition of 10 phr at $140^{\circ}C$. As the particle size decreased and the DDAC content increased, filtration time of spray-dried LCNF in water was decreased and increased, respectively.

PLLA scaffold loaded with gentamicin sulfate (GS) was prepared by emulsion freeze-drying method for the prevention of infection and the improvement of wettability. i.e., the cell- and tissue-compatibility. GS-loaded PLLA scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mercury porosimetry and blue dye intrusion, and the GS release pattern was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). GS-loaded PLLA scaffolds with porosity above 50%, medium pore size ranging from 30 to 57 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (with larger pore diameters greater than 150 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), and specific pore area in the range of 35 to 75($m^2$ /g )were manufactured by varying processing parameter as GS concentration. It was observed that GS-loaded PLLA scaffolds were highly porous with good interconnections between pores for allowing cell adhesion and growth. These scaffolds may be applicable for scaffold as structures that facilitate either tissue regeneration or repair during reconstructive operations.
