The effect of twenty two spices on liver microsomal monooxygense activity was tested as measured by alteration of hexobarbital (HB) narcosis and strychnine mortality in mice. Oral administration of seven spices for 7 consecutive days caused a significant shortening of the duration of HB-induced sleeping time. The treatment of mice with a single i. p. injection of 9 spices resulted in a significant prolongation of the sleeping time. White pepper, dill and fennel reduced the toxicity of strychnine. These results strongly indicated that some spices might affect the activity of liver microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) function.

It is found that many kinds of spices and herbs have a deodorization, acrid, coloration, antimicrobial or antioxidant effect. They also have physiological actions such as antiaging effect, anticancer effect, endurance enhancement, or stress degradation. Therefore, development of the dairy products with those above benefical effects of natural spices and herbs is necessary, and the functional dairy products which has an anticancer, antiobesity or coelenterate will be useful foods, especially patients.

Processed meat products are prone to oxidation and spoilage due to prolonged storage. By using natural spices that are harmless to the human body and have antioxidant and antibacterial effects to replace synthetic preservatives in consideration of consumers' qualitative consumption patterns that pursue nutrition and safety, and stimulate appetite with taste, aroma, and color of food. The purpose of this study was to study the effect on the quality characteristics of processed meat products. The spice group had a low crude fat for both the loin and sirloin cuts. Brightness, redness, and yellowness in the chromaticity of beef jerky and PYUNYUK added with spices were different from those of the control group and increased. In terms of texture, all the beef jerky groups increased firmness and friability, and there was a difference between refrigeration and room temperature storage. The elasticity and stickiness decreased with the lapse of storage period. In the PYUNYUK, the flavor of the spice group was low and the meat quality was soft. It was found that the addition of natural spices to replace synthetic preservatives had different effects on processed meat products and had a positive effect on general ingredients, mechanical properties, physicochemical properties, and sensory quality properties.

This study was performed to develop natural spices using Cheongung (Cnidium officinale) which is one of the Korean medicinal plants, Cnidium of officinale is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family and is widely distributed in Korea. The overall acceptances of flavor and color, and the masking effects on meaty and fishy flavor of Cnidium officinale were investigated by sensory evaluation. The overall acceptances of fresh Cnidium officinale were the highest, followed by freeze dried and hot air dried samples. The meaty and fishy flavor of cooked pork and fish were significantly reduced by the addition of fresh, hot air dried and freeze dried Cnidium officinale. Cnidium officinale showed similar or higher masking effects on meaty and fishy flavor compared with black pepper.

The study of health promoting and disease preventing compounds in food or by themselves, so called nutraceuticals or functional foods, has become a major field of research in food science. Natural flavor compounds are usually present in food, essential oils, spices, and herbs. These compounds can produce aroma, not only by themselves, but also in combination with other compounds. Today, however, greater interest is being paid to the health promoting properties of natural flavor substances rather than their flavoring properties. In fact, a number of naturally occurring flavor compounds that possess health promoting and disease preventing properties have been extensively studied and identified. The beneficial properties of natural volatile flavor compounds as well as non-volatile substances in spices and herbs discussed in this review include antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and immune enhancing activities.

Spices are used to enhance the taste of Korean food. The term "Yangnyeom" contains a wishful meaning that it would be as good for health as medicine when eaten. It is prescribed as a medicine to heal disease according to the ancient medical books. Fifteen spices in Korean food such as vinegar, liquor, honey, water, wheat-gluten, sesame, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, ginger, mustard, pepper, cinnamon, soy sauce, salt, cheoncho, and others are prescribed as medicine for internal and external uses for almost every disease. To examine these spices, the subjects were treated with either the spice-boiled water or spice-mixed water, or applied externally. It is suggested that spices that are produced through peculiar traditional cooking method, fermenting, and those that have long-growth period, grew in the natural environment, and the like have efficacy as medicine. Spices can be sufficiently applied as emergency medicine, disease-treatment, subsidiary supplement, and preventive medicine.

To make functional fresh-cut yam using natural spices, the water or the methanol extract was prepared from different kinds of natural spices including ginger, wasabi, black pepper, mustard, cinnamon, chinese pepper, garlic, thyme, rosemary, chamomile, and peppermint. The extraction yields were varied as spice sources and extraction solvents used. Among the water extracts, peppermint extract showed strong antithrombosis activity with 26-folds extended thrombin time, and the $IC_{50}s$ of the extracts from cinnamon and rosemary were $61.3{\mu}g/ml\;and\;84.3{\mu}g/ml$ in DPPH scavenging assay, respectively. Whereas, the antimicrobial activity of all water extracts was ignorable. Among the methanol extracts, the extracts from thyme, ginger, and cinnamon showed antimicrobial activity against yam putrefactive bacteria. Strong antioxidative activity was found in the extracts from cinnamon and thyme. Based on these results, the functional fresh-cut yam was prepared using the water extract from peppermint or cinnamon. The antioxidative and antithrombin activities in the fresh-cut yam were maintained at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. Our results suggest that the natural spices could be applied to production of functional fresh-cut yam.

This study was made to find the compound of it's taste and properties of texture and also it's color desired and optimal conditions when the natural spices garlic, celery, parsley, bay leaves, pepper com, nutmeg, shallot, onion, tarragon, lemon juice-are added to reduction of the spices in the liquid egg yolk and hot virgin olive oil. Extracted by white wine and vinegar and then baked on salamander and gas oven in emulsified properties of sabayon and hot virgin olive oil. It may be indicated the pasteurization that during that in all treatment of the liquid egg yolk was achieved with whisk holding water in double boiling pen 95$^{\circ}C$ for 1min with the object of removing salmonella possibly contained in the yolk.(lmai camd namba e2).

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) among several irritating spices tested was highly effective on the duration of hexobarbital hypnosis in mice. Pretreatment of mice with the methanolic extract of black pepper (60mg/kg i.p.) prolonged markedly the duration of hexobarbital sleeping time. Three consecutive daily administrations of the same dose of black pepper extract, however, shortened (37%) the duration of hexobarbital sleeping time. The ether soluble fraction of black pepper extract caused most potent effects on the duration of hexobarbital hypnosis. From the above results, it was postulated that the lipid soluble components of black pepper might considerably change the drug action and metabolism by altering drug metabolizing enzyme systems.
