Various studies on the effect of mushroom, a member of phytonutrients, on inflammatory diseases have been reporter over the years, Among various species mushrooms, King oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) and winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) are popular dietary ingredients for Asian cuisine. The extracts from all the three mushrooms were used to determine the antioxidative effect and the cytotoxicity. Result analysis were repeated more than three times to get an average${\pm}$standard deviation, and statistical significance were confirmed by SPSS. As a result, total phenol content of the king oyster mushroom and the winter mushroom were $19.66{\pm}0.10mg/g$ and $22.08{\pm}1.10mg/g$, respectively. Also, the total flavonoid content was $15.21{\pm}1.31mg/g$ for the king oyster mushroom and $20.50{\pm}4.52mg/g$ for winter mushroom. The results in winter mushroom showed higher values in total phenol and flavonoid content than in the king oyster mushroom. All samples of extracts showed free radical DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity with their 10 mg/mL concentration. These results indicate that the extract of the king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) and the winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) may be possible phytonutrients with the anti-inflammatory and the anti-cancer effect.

We investigated the nutritional characteristics and antioxidant effects of sea mustard Undaria pinnatifida fractions from Gultongmeori in Taejongdae, Youngdo, Busan. Based on dry weight, the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash, and crude fiber contents were 34.98%, 11.55%, 0.43%, 17.82%, and 3.45%, respectively. To evaluate the antioxidant effect, we used radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production measurement, and DNA oxidation assays. Total flavonoid and phenol contents were higher in the n-hexane fraction than in other fractions. The n-hexane fraction was more effective at scavenging free radicals than other fractions as assessed using DPPH and ABTS assays (P<0.05). The ROS production assay showed that all sea mustard fractions decreased H₂O₂ induced cellular ROS production compared to that seen in the control (P<0.05); however, the n-hexane fraction reduced cellular ROS production to a greater extent than the other fractions. Furthermore, the n-hexane fraction from Gultongmeori significantly inhibited genomic DNA oxidation. These results indicate that the antioxidant effect of sea mustard is associated with its high flavonoid and phenol content. This study proposes that processed food products supplemented with sea mustard can be developed as functional foods to promote health in the local population.

In this study, we aimed to increase the utilization of non-commercializable peach fruits collected during harvesting and distribution and to promote the transition of a high value-added industry. After producing pastes from the flesh of different peach varieties, we used these pastes as ingredients in the production of Kochujang. We then performed a comparative analysis on the quality characteristics of the peach-added Kochujang and commercially available Kochujang products. Peach-added Kochujang exhibited a lower pH and reduced sugar, salinity, reducing sugar, ash, and calorie content than those of commercially available Kochujang products. However, the Kochujang had slightly higher pH and moisture content than commercially available products due to high organic acid and moisture contents of peach flesh. In terms of content of inorganic elements, commercial Kochujang products exhibited higher sodium and magnesium content, whereas peach-added Kochujang had higher potassium content. In particular, the lower sodium and higher potassium content of peach-added Kochujang indicates that this product could be used as a functional food to prevent various diseases caused by excessive sodium intake among Koreans. After comparing the products in terms of phenol and flavonoid content, we concluded that ethanol extracts of peach-added Kochujang showed higher phenol content than those of the commercially available Kochujang products. In contrast, the distilled water extracts of peach Kochujang showed higher DPPH free radical scavenging activity than that of commercially available Kochujang products.

Cedrela sinensis is a Korean traditional wild herb that has a special taste and aroma. This study is conducted to investigate the effect of Cedrela sinensis powder on the antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of Maejakgwa (Korean traditional cookie). Maejakgwa was prepared with different amounts of Cedrela sinensis powder (in ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenol content in Cedrela sinensis powder and Maejakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, the bulk density and pH of the dough, moisture contents, volume, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The bulk density, moisture contents, volume, total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Maejakgwa significantly increased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder (P<0.001), while the pH of the dough, L values and b values of Maejakgwa significantly decreased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder content (P<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for 10% Cedrela sinensis Maejakgwa ranked significantly higher (P<0.001) than those of the other groups in overall preference, flavor, taste, crispiness and color. From these results, we suggest that Cedrela sinensis is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of Maejakgwa.

Major components and antioxidant activity of fermented tea were investigated. Contents of total flavonoid and total phenol showed the highest score in ethanol extract ($481.4\;{\mu}g/g$ and 33.5 g/100g), respectively. Their contents in hot water extract ($405.7\;{\mu}g/g$ and 23.6 g/100g) were lower than those of the others extracts. However, their contents of ethyl acetate extract($495.2\;{\mu}g/g$, 39.5 g/100g) from fermented tea stored for 1 year had the highest amount among all tested samples. Catechins of fermented tea were found to be EGC, GC, catechin, catechol and EGCG. However, they were not detected in hot water extract. Scavenging activities of DPPH free radical of all extracts from fermented tea were increased in proportion to their concentration and were $72.4\%$ for fermented tea and $80.9\%$ for fermented tea stored for 1 year. Reducing power of ethanol extract at $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ were 0.78 as OD value of 700 nm for fermented tea and 0.88 for fermented tea stored for 1 year, respectively. Antioxidant activities of ethyl acetate extracts at $3000\;{\mu}g/mL$ were $86.6\%$ for fermented tea and $73.7\%$ for fermented tea stored for 1 year, respectively.
