The yield of oleoresin content and functionality of fresh garlic were compared according to varying extraction conditions by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and conventional extraction (CE) methods. When different extracting conditions were applied, there was no significant difference of extraction methods in the oleoresin content. However, in the case of the CE, the optimum extraction time was two hours, while the other was about five minutes which meant that the extraction time was shortened drastically. The electron donating abilities showed a similar level which was 64% by both methods, using water. And, in the case of ethanol extraction, it resulted 63% and 51% by CE and MAE, respectively. The nitrite scavenging effect diminished while pH was increasing and especially, in the case of pH 1.2, it showed a high elimination effect of more than 90%. There was no difference of extraction methods. The tyrosinase inhibitory effect was 47% and 60% by CE and MAE, respectively in the case of the water extract. The ethanol extract showed similar or a slight lower inhibition of 45% and 39%. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory effect showed more powerful activity in the case of MAE extract than CE extract, but there was not an increase relating to reaction time of enzyme. Also, pyruvic acid content was $44.8\;and\;36.0{\mu}moles$ per one gram of a garlic by CE and MAE, respectively when water was used, and was $28.6\;and\;32.0{\mu}moles$ by CE and MAE when ethanol was used. Again, there was no big difference between CE and MAE methods.

Food nanoemulsion systems consisting of water and oleoresin capsicum (OC), polyoxythylene sorbitan esters (Tween 20, 40, 60, and 80), propylene glycol (PG), sucrose monostearate (SM), and their corresponding mixtures were formulated to use as food vehicles. Tween 80 produced OC nanoemulsions with stable dispersions as one-phase systems, and the dertermined emulsification efficiencies clearly distinguished the ability of the various surfactants to emulsify OC. The nanoemulsions were prepared by both ultrasonication and self-assembly, and the nanoemulsion areas were determined using phase diagrams by measuring the sizes of the emulsions. One-phase nanoemulsions were presented, with a multiple cloudy region and phase separation that were dependent on the particle size of the emulsion. The OC nanoemulsions prepared by ultrasonication using systems of OC/Tween 80/water, OC/Tween 80/water+PG, and OC/Tween 80/water+SM, resulted in particle sizes ranging from 15 to 100 nm. Finally, the nanoemulsions maintained their initial sizes during storage, ranging from 65 to 92 nm.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Natto supplementation on lipid metabolism in rats. Male rats were fed on casein(CON group), steamed soybean(SS group), conventional Natto(N-1 group), garlic(2%) added Natto(N-2 group), red pepper oleoresin(0.2%) added Natto(N-3 group) and galic(2%) and red pepper oleoresin(0.2%) added Natto(N-4 group) as a protein source for 4 weeks. Serum and liver cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the experimental groups than in the control group. Especially, dietary N-2, N-3 and N-4, compared with CON, reduced markedly the concentration of serum cholesterol. The concentration of serum HDL-cholesterol was higher markedly in the N-4 group than in the control group. The concentration of serum triglyceride was significantly lower in the N-1, N-2, N-3 and N-4 groups than in the control group. Garlic and red pepper added Natto fed groups(N-2, N-3, N-4) showed more excreion of fecal bile acid when compared with those values of casein fed group. The results indicate that spice added Natto supplementation may have more beneficial roles in lipid metabolism through reduced cholesterol levels and increased fecal bile acid excretion.

Background: In recent years, with the prohibition of antibiotics used as growth stimulants in the nutrition of farm animals, researchers have searched for alternative natural and reliable products in order to be able to sustain the developments experienced during the use of antibiotics and to overcome the possible inconveniences. In this context, studies on evaluation of essential oils in poultry nutrition have been reported to improve the utilization of feed, stimulate the release of digestive enzymes, increase absorption in the stomach and intestines, antimicrobial and anti-parasitic effects and thus, can be an alternative to antibiotics and improve meat quality as well. Indeed, this study has been carried out to explore the effects of the addition of 150 mg/kg capsicum oleoresin (CAP), carvacrol (CAR), cinnamaldehyde (CIN) or their mixture (CAP+CAR+CIN) into the broilers' ration over sensory, physical and chemical properties in breast meat and leg meat. Methods: Experiments were conducted over 400 male and female broiler chicks (Ross-308) in 5 groups (1 control group and 4 treatment groups), each composed of 80 chicks. The control group was fed without feed additives while the second, third, fourth and the fifth groups were fed with 150 mg CAP/kg feed, 150 mg CAR/kg feed, 150 mg CIN/kg feed, and 150 mg CAP+CAR+CIN/kg feed, respectively. Results: Addition of CAP, CAR, CIN or CAP+CAR+CIN had effects on the sensory (of taste, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability); physical properties (of $L^*$ value and toughness), the chemical properties (of DM, CF, CP, linoleic, EPA, behenic, MUFA, PUFA and ${\Sigma}n-6$ of the leg meat), the physical characteristics (of toughness and firmness), and the chemical properties (of CF, CP, linoleic, ecosenic, EPA, lignoseric, MUFA and ${\Sigma}n-3$) of the breast meat in comparison to control group. Furthermore, while the treatments had positive impacts on thawing loss, cooking loss and water holding capacity in both breast and leg meat; no effect was observed on pH value and lipid oxidation on day 1, day 4 and day 8. Conclusion: The results strongly suggested that the addition of CAP, CAR, CIN or CAP+CAR+CIN to the rations of the broiler chicks changed the sensory, physical and chemical properties of breast and leg meat. It was also observed that these compounds were more effective when they were added to the ratio as a mixture rather than adding them individually.

Fresh onions were extracted by two methods of conventional extraction(CE) and microwave assisted extraction(MAE) under different extraction conditions. Onion extracts obtained by CE and MAE were examined in oleoresin yield and physiological activities. The optimal extraction time of MAE was about 5 minutes, whereas that of CE was 2 hours. Therefore extraction time was shortened drastically by MAE but there was no significance in oleolesin yield. The electron donating abilities also showed negligible difference between two extracts obtained by CE and MAE, and 45% level in CE and 50% level in MAE. The nitrite scavenging effect was diminished while pH was increasing, and showed a high elimination effect over 85% at pH 1.2. The tyrosinase inhibitory effect was 20% level in both CE and MAE when water was used and 40% level when ethyl alcohol was used. The angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory effect showed higher activity with 70% level in MAE than 60% level in CE. The pyruvic acid content was 6.8 and 6.4 moles per 1g of fresh onion by CE and MAE when water was used, and was 4.3 and 5.6 moles by CE and MAE when ethyl alcohol was used.

Paprika oleoresin (PO) and artificial Kimchi flavor (AKF) were added to Kimchi to improve the sensory qualities deteriorated by gamma irradiation in terms of color and flavor. Optimum concentration of both PO and AKF resulting from the sensory evaluation was 0.2%. The redness and capsanthin contents of Kimchi decreased by gamma irradiation at 25 kGy during storage at $35^{\circ}C$. However, the redness and capsanthin contents of gamma-irradiated Kimchi was increased by the addition of 0.2% PO, and maintained during the storage at $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The result from the sensory evaluation indicated that sensory qualities of gamma-irradiated Kimchi were effectively improved by the addition of PO and AKF during storage at $35^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the combined treatment of additives (PO and AKF) and gamma irradiation can be considered as an effective method to improve the redness and sensory qualities of Kimchi sterilized by high-dose gamma irradiation.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of crushed ginger was carried out to increase the yield of ginger extract, and the quality of the extract was investigated. The first extract was obtained by pressing crushed ginger, and the second extract by pressing ginger pomace hydrolyzed with $\alpha$-amylase at $90^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Oleoresin was extracted from the residue of enzymatic hydrolysis with 90% ethyl alcohol. The first extract, second extract and oleoresin were mixed to obtain the final ginger extract. The yield of final extract was increased by 276% on the solid base of the fresh ginger extract. The final ginger extract contained less crude fiber, starch and free amino acids (62, 48 and 40%, respectively), but contained more free sugar (270%) compared to fresh ginger extract.

Extraction yields of thiosulfinates from garlic were studied by using gas-in-liquis-dispersion(GLD) system to maxmize the thiosulfinate extraction. Extracted thiosulfinates were spectrophotometically quantified using synthesized dially1 thiosulfinate. The conditions for maximum extraction were optimized by response surface methodology. The volatile components extracted by various methods, such as hexane extraction, simultaneous steam distillation and GLD system, were compared by using gas chromatography. The results indicated that the thiosulfinate yield was increased by incresaing temperature and nitrogen gas flow rate, while the effects of bubble sizes on thiosulfinate extraction were not significant at the ranges tested. Application of GLD system resulted in extraction of more volatile components than other extraction methods, Therfore, it was suggested that GLD system was one of the efficient extraction methods among the ever introduced ones, for thiosulfinate extraciton.

Antimicrobial stability of grape seed extract ($ActiVin^{TM}$), pine bark extract ($Pycnogenol^{(R)}$), and oleoresin rosemary ($Herbalox^{(R)}$) on the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila was investigated in cooked ground beef. When compared to the control, the populations of A. hydrophila were most effectively reduced by 4.06 log CFU/g for 1% $Pycnogenol^{(R)}$ added after cooking at 10 days of refrigerated storage, followed by 3.06 log CFU/g for 1% $Pycnogenol^{(R)}$ added before cooking and 1.36 log CFU/g for $ActiVin^{TM}$. Bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities were observed for $Pycnogenol^{(R)}$ added before and after cooking, respectively. $Pycnogenol^{(R)}$ consists of heat-labile and heat-stable compounds. $ActiVin^{TM}$ and $Pycnogenol^{(R)}$ could be considered for use as multifunctional preservatives in meat and meat products.
