The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of aqueous green tea(AGT) on soybean oil. AGT was freeze-dried and 20% of the freeze-dried aqueous green tea powder (AGTP) was added to soybean oil in the quantities of 0.5%, 1% and 5%. Soybean oil without the addition of AGTP was used as a control. Soybean oil with 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluen(BHT) was used as another experimental sample. Each sample was stored at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The oxidation of these samples was determined by measuring the acid value (AV), peroxide value (POV), and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value. The result showed that the acid values were lowest in 0.02% BHT, followed by the 0.5% AGTP, 1% AGTP, 5% AGTP and finally the control. When AGTP was added, the peroxide value was lower than both the control and 0.02% BHT. The lowest TBA values were in the 0.5% AGTP followed by 0.02% BHT, 1% AGTP, 5% AGTP and the control, respectively. The 5% AGTP (285 min), 1% AGTP (249 min) and 0.5% AGTP (238) demonstrated longer induction periods, compared to the control (204 min) and the BHT (229 min) by Rancimat method.

To increase antioxidative activity of Chungkukjang, the protective effect of Seoritae Chungkukjang (SC) added with green tea powder against oxidative stress was evaluated under the cellular system using LLC-$PK_1$ cells. The treatment of 3-morpholinosydnonimine showed increase in lipid peroxidation, and decrease in endogenous anti-oxidant enzymes activity and cell viability. The methanol extract of SC inhibited lipid peroxidation by 70.9%, and significantly increased cell viability up to more than 33.2%. In addition, it enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. Particularly, the addition of green tea in SC exerted protective effect against oxidative stress by ONOO- through elevation in activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. More addition of green tea showed stronger protective activity. These results suggest that the addition of green tea to SC leads to the increase in the antioxidative effect of Chungkukjang through elevation in antioxidative enzyme activities and protection from lipid peroxidation.

This study was carried out to develop a new product using Cheonggukjang (fermented soybean product) and sub-ingredients(lactic acid bacillus powder, chlorella, lactose, green tea). Fresh Cheonggukjang was dried by a infrared drying(50℃, 36hr) and powdered by a roll mill. The powder was mixed with sub-ingredients and then moulded as tablet type by a press moulder. The pH of tablet was low with the addition of lactobacillus and total sugar content was high with the addition of lactose. Disintegration, absorption capacity and textural properties of tablet were not affected by the addition of any sub-ingredient. Color of non-added tablet was yellow to red, but changed to green when chlorella was added. Sensory properties(color, taste, flavor, chewiness, hardness, acceptability) were not affected by the addition of sub-ingredients. The results indicate that functional healthy tablet could be made from Cheonggukjang powder and various sub-ingredients.

A green tea used in this experiment was cultivated at Bosung (Chonnam) and purchased from a domestic market. The extract at 5$0^{\circ}C$ water from the powder of green tea partitioned with chloroform and ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was further purified with a chromatographic column (4.6$\times$250 mm, 15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, Lichrospher 100RP-18). Finally separation was achieved on a $\mu$-Bondapak $C_18$(3.9$\times$300mm, 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) column. The elution order of the catechin compounds contained in the green tea was EGC(Epigallocatechin, C(catechin), EC(Epicatechin), EGCG(Epigallocatechin Gallate) and ECG(Epicatechin Gallate). From the experimental results the mobile phase for isolating EGCG from the extract consisted of 0.1% acetic acid in water/acetonitrile, 87/13%(v/v). The flow rate of mobile phase was 1.0 $m\ell$/min, and UV wavelength was fixed at 280 nm. 121.3 mg of EGCG, higher than 98% of purity, was obtained from 5 g of dry green tea.

To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of green tea against putrefactive microorganism in steamed bread, antibacterial activity of green tea extract against well-known strains of spoilage bacteria (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus pulmilus KCTC 3348 and Bacillus cereus IFO 12113) and mold (Aspergillus niger KCCM l1239) in bread was determined using the paper disk method. The green tea extract (GTE) showed the inhibition effects on the growth of all the strains of bacteria and mold at 1, 2, 3% levels. The activity of GTE was stable in the wide range of pH (4~9) and temperature (50~20$0^{\circ}C$). When green tea powder (GTP: 1, 3, 5%) was added to steamed bread increase of total bacterial and mold counts declined during storage at 25"C as the levels of GTP increased. By addition of 5% GTP, mold appeared 1 day late extending shelf life of steamed bread compared to control bread without GTP. Therefore, the levels of GTP added to steamed bread could be more than 5% for extended shelf life and wholesomeness of steamed bread.read.

High strength flour (12.5% protein) and low strength flour (10.5% protein)were used to determine optimum formulation far steamed bread added with green tea powder (GTP). The response surface study consisted of the following independent variables : GTP (1.5∼4.5%), mixing time (8∼14 min), fermentation time (30∼50min). Bread Quality attributes measured for total bread score of each combination were loaf volume, spread ratio, surface glossiness, smoothness, grain and texture (firmness, cohesiveness, elasticity and adhesiveness). The required amount of GTP, mixing time and fermentation time for steamed bread made from two kinds of flour were different. GTP could be more added to lower strength flour than higher strength flour without losing bread quality. GTP highly affected the loaf volume, spread ratio, surface smoothness, firmness and total bread score of steamed bread (p<0.001). The results suggested that the functional steamed bread added with GTP having excellent quality can be made from low strength flour using green tea powder 3.2%, mixing time 11 min 8 sec and fermentation time 39 min 55 sec.
