  • God created the havens and earth and god gave man every seed-bearing plant and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. These food Is all vegetable food that don't take diseases of adult people. But God gave Noah the green plants. Everything that lives and moves will be food for Noah. Just as God gave man the green plants. And then man must not eat meat (animal protein food) that has its lifeblood still in it and God must not eat fat in it. The fat contains much fat (saturated fatty acids) and cholesterol that have susceptibility to disease of coronary heart, hypertension and atheriosclerosis etc. God must not eat these fat before we don't know that It have susceptibility to disease of adult people.

  • It was confirmed that extracts of some plants were used in folklore medicine as hypoglycemic agents. Of these plants is Azadirachta indica ("neem") which grows in tropical regions. The present study deals with biochemical effects of the "neem" leaf water extract given orally to experimental aminals, especially the hypoglycemic characteristics. Normals as well as alloxan diabetic rats have been used in this work. The results showed that the "neem" leaf extract produced some hypoglycemia in normal rats when given in two doses, while in diabetic rats there was a decrease in blood sugar, but it could not alleviate the diabetic in body weight loss and high percentage mortality, especially with a high dose. It was observed increased with concomitant decrease in the liver fat as compared to normal levels. There was also a drop in liver proteins which was dose-related. The results were compared wiht those obtained with an oral hypoglycemic drug (Glibenclamide).glycemic drug (Glibenclamide).

  • Antioxidant activity of Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum stenophyllum, Angelica gigas, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens extracts cultivated in Jecheon prepared with different solvents were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrzyl(DPPH) radical scarvenging ability and thiocyanate method . The highest hydroxy radical scarvenging activity was shown in Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, while the lowest was in Polygonatum stenophyllum. Angelica gigas showed strong antioxidant activity by thiocyanate method. Methanol extracts and water extracts showed higher antioxidant activities than ethanol extracts. Angelica pubescens showed the highest polyphenol contents and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus showed the highest flavonoid contents. Direct correlation between the hydroxy radical scavenging activity and polyphenol contents or flavonoid contents was established by simple regression(r>0.8) in each solvent extracts. Among medicinal plants cultivated in Jecheon, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens showed strong antioxidant activities. These results suggest that methanol or water extracts of several medicinal plant cultivated in Jecheon could be used as natural antioxidants.

  • The anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions of Cedrela sinensis, Oenanthe javanica and ARtemisia princeps var. orientalis were carried out. The methanolic extract of Artemisia princeps var. orientalis showed the inhibitory effect on carrageenin-induced edema as well as vascular permeability in mice. And we also found the alagesic activity in these plants.

  • The nutritional characteristics and functionalities of the polyplant extracts(PPE) from the extraction of various plants were assessed for the development of a new functional food. The PPE contained 42.95 g of glucose, 22.61 g of fructose, and 12.48 g of sucrose per 100 g of PPE as free sugar, and its reducing sugar contents was measured at 480.6 mg per g of PPE. Among free amino acids, proline contents was the highest at 0.58 g per 100 g of PPE, and it contained only 12.65 mg of malic acid and 6.92 mg of tartaric acid per g of PPE as an organic acid. The antioxidant activity of PPE was the highest at 91.6%, whereas SOD-like activity and xanthin oxidase inhibitory activity, which are associated with anti-aging effects, were 21.6% and 9.3%, respectively. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity was 10.0% and anti-dementia acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was quite low(5.1%).

  • To search for the aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors from Korean folk plants, the inhibition of rat lens AR in vitro using the methanol (MeOH) extracts from Korean folk plants in Chungcheong Province was investigated. Among Korean folk plants tested, the MeOH extract of Persicaria longiseta showed highest inhibition of AR ($IC_{50}$ value, $5.14{\mu}g/ml$). Consequently, P. longiseta has a possibility of new natural resources for the development of AR inhibitor for the prevention of diabetic complications.

  • End-use properties of six Korean waxy wheat lines and their parental plants were evaluated in this study. Korean waxy wheat lines showed unsuitable characteristics for end products, such as sticky crumb of bread, sticky cooked wet and dry noodles and small cookie diameter. Korean waxy wheat lines produced lower loaf volume and less desirable crumb grain structure of bread, and lower chewiness of cooked wet and dry noodles than their parental plants even though Korean waxy wheats were much higher in protein content and SDS-sedimentation volume than their parental plants. We observed adverse effects of high flour protein content in Korean waxy wheat lines, such as smaller cookie diameter and harder snapping force than those produced from their parental plants.

  • As seafood processing by-products, enormous seafood processing waste waters (SPWWs) are produced at most seafood processing plants, but management of these waste waters are becoming great burden at small capacity processing plant. Hence, almost of them have been discarded without suitable application methods. And these SPWWS might causes of marine environmental pollution and waste in potential food resources. (omitted)

  • As seafood processing by-products, various seafood processing waste wasters (SPWWs) are produced at seafood processing plants in Korea. However almost of them have been discarded without suitable application methods, although those have high contents of available compounds, such as protein, amino acids (Hang et at, 1980; Shiau and Chai, 1990).
