The global apple processing industry generates millions of tons of apple pomace (AP) annually, leading to significant environmental challenges owing to improper disposal methods, such as landfilling, which releases methane and other contaminants. This mini-review provides a concise overview of the strategies for the upcycling and circular resource utilization of AP. Upcycling strategies for AP can contribute to environmental protection through carbon reduction and resource circulation using existing resources in new methods instead of new materials. Additionally, this review presents the potential of AP as a raw material for food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics while examining the technical, economic, and environmental challenges and necessary improvements for its optimal use. Overall, the upcycling of AP offers a valuable opportunity to improve waste management and promote efficient resource utilization.

In many countries, goat milk is an excellent nutrient source and is less allergenic for children and the elderly. The casein composition of goat milk consists largely of ${\beta}$-casein and lower amounts of ${\alpha}_{s1}$-casein, which may interfere with digestion by forming solid curds in the human stomach. Goat milk contains small fat globules and large amounts of medium chain fatty acids for, better digestibility, as well as abundant minerals and vitamins with high absorption rates. Recently, the medical benefits of goat milk in different human disorders have been recognized, leading to an increased interest in developing functional foods with goat milk, particularly for individuals with malabsorption syndrome. However, the physiological and biochemical properties of goat milk are largely unknown. We review the importance of goat milk as a potential functional food by providing scientific evidence confirming its health benefits.

본 연구에서는 국내 엽산 분석 데이터의 질적 양적 향상을 위해 첫째, AOAC법의 trienzyme 추출법과 식품공전의 암모니아 가수분해법을 비교 분석하고 둘째, 엽채류에 있어 trienzyme 추출법의 검증을 위해 국제표준인증물질을 분석하고 정밀성과 정확성을 측정하였다. 마지막으로 검증된 추출법을 적용하여 시판 봄나물(생것, 데친것)의 총 엽산 합량을 L. casei를 이용한 미생물학적 정량법을 적용하여 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과 CRM 485(mixed vegetable), CRM 487(pig liver), CRM 121(wholemeal flour), 시금치, 돌미나리의 경우 암모니아 추출법보다 trienzyme 추출법을 적용할 경우 엽산 함량이 시료에 따라 1.2에서 5.8배까지 증가하였다. 따라서 나물 등 엽채류 식품에 함유된 천연 엽산 분석에는 trienzyme 추출법 적용이 필요한 것으로 생각된다. Trienzyme 추출법을 적용하여 분석한 봄나물(생것, 데친 것)의 엽산 함량은 습물 기준(wet weight basis) 나물 생시료의 경우 오가피($146.9{\mu}g/100g$), 부지갱이($142.8{\mu}g/100g$), 갯기름($140.4{\mu}g/100g$)의 엽산 함량이 15개의 분석시료 중 높은 값을 나타내었다. 반면 건물 기준(dry weight basis)을 적용한 절대량 비교에서는 민들레($1,643.0{\mu}g/g$), 시금치($1,284.8{\mu}g/g$), 비름나물($1,222.5{\mu}g/g$) 순으로 높은 엽산 함량을 나타내었다. 가죽나물, 참두릅, 세발나물, 돌미나리, 참취나물 경우 $100^{\circ}C$에서 30초간 데쳤을 때 엽산 함량은 차이가 없었으며(P>0.05) 갯기름나물을 제외한 나머지 9개 시료에서는 엽산 함량이 11~63% 감소하였다(건물 기준 비교). 본 연구에 적용된 엽산 trienzyme 추출법은 상대적으로 부족한 국내 다소비 식품의 엽산 분석 연구에 활용될 것으로 생각되며 나아가 국가표준식품성분표 작성을 위한 엽산 데이터베이스 구축의 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

The objective of this study was to analyze labeling improvements and evaluate willingness to pay for health functional foods with a focus on the caution for intake. For this study, we conducted a survey on health functional food intake behavior, confirmation and improvements of cautions for intake. We assessed the willingness to pay for improvement of the caution for intake. Consumers anticipate improved immune function, and fatigue improvement after consumption of health functional foods. They mainly checked the function components related to efficacy and effectiveness, ingredients and their contents, ingestion amount and method, expiry date and best mode of storage, product name, and cautions associated with ingestion of health functional foods. They has been difficulties in obtaining sufficient caution information for intake from the current labeling method. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the labeling of caution for intake. The analysis indicated that about 5.14% of the respondents were willing to pay more if new labeling was introduces. However, there is still controversy over their safety, which is damaging to the consumers. Therefore, by providing consumers with accurate and detailed information on cautions for intake, it can contribute to securing safety and improving the quality of health functional foods.

The aim of this study was to manufacture functional high protein fermented beverage, using whey protein concentrate (WPC) and Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 isolated from kimchi, and to evaluate the physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties of the resulting product. The fermented whey beverage (FWB) was formulated with whey protein concentrate 80 (WPC 80), skim milk powder, and sucrose; and fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 as single, or mixed with Lactococcus lactis R704, a commercial starter culture. The pH, titratable acidity, and viable cell counts during fermentation and storage were evaluated. It was found that the mixed culture showed faster acid development than the single culture. The resulting FWB had high protein (9%) and low fat content (0.2%). Increased viscosity, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity were observed after fermentation. A viable cell count of 10⁹ CFU/mL in FWB was achieved within 10 h fermentation, and it remained throughout storage at 15℃ for 28 d. Sensory analysis was also conducted, and compared to that of a commercial protein drink. The sensory scores of FWB were similar to those of the commercial protein drink in most attributes, except sourness. The sourness was highly related with the high lactic acid content produced during fermentation. The results showed that WPC and vegetable origin lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi might be used for the development of a high protein fermented beverage, with improved functionality and organoleptic properties.

In this study, we investigated the immunological properties of six strains of Acetobacter pasteurianus through nuclear factor-kappa B/activator protein-1 (NF-κB/AP-1) transcription factor activation and nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine production in macrophages. We found that the six A. pasteurianus strains had no significant inhibitory effect on the cell viability of RAW-Blue^TM cells at the concentration of (25, 50, 100 CFU/macrophage). The production of NO and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) showed different abilities of immune activation for each strain, and it was 0.7 to 0.9 times higher than that of the LPS (100 ng/mL, v/v) positive control and 7 to 8 times superior to that of the negative control group. To explore the underlying mechanism, we evaluated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory genes. Consequently, we found that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression including genes expression of cytokines were elevated by the six A. pasteurianus treatment. These results suggested that the six strains of A. pasteurianus have an excellent industrial application value as a functional material for the purpose of enhancing immune function.

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) with different degrees of hydrolysis by treatment with alcalase, pronase, flavourzyme and trypsin and isolated peptide were prepared from Hwangtae (yellow dried pollack, Theragra chalcogramma). Hwangtae protein hydrolysate was fractionated according to the molecular weight into six major types of APO1 (1.3 kDa), APO2 (1 kDa), APO3 (<1 kDa), APACE (<1 kDa), APG1 (70 kDa) and APG2 (70 kDa) isolated from the hydrolysate using consecutive chromatographic methods. Soluble peptide were produced from Hwangtae and evaluated for their nutritional and functional properties. Some functional properties of FPHs were assessed and compared with those of egg albumin or the soybean protein. APO2 had the highest nitrogen solubility value (94.2%), emulsion capacity and emulsion stability of the Alaska Pollack peptide ranged from 12.4 to 39.5 (mL of oil per 200 mg of protein) and 44.0% to 77.5%, respectively. Highest and lowest fat adsorption values were observed for APG1 (9.9 mL of oil per gram of protein) and APO3 (3.8 mL of oil per gram of protein), respectively.
