This study was carried on the Seasoning Oil production by Autoclaving Method in order to research a developed method. The Raw, Extract states of seasoning vegetables-Garlic, Onion and Ginger were added 40, 60% (w/w) of total amounts to corn salad oil. All samples treated with various conditions were determined physicochemical characteristics by Acid value, Peroxide value, Iodine value, Refractive Index, and Volatile Carbonyl Compound Content during incubating $(40{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$ and heating $(185{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$. The results were obtained as follws; 1. During incubation at $40{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, the order of antioxidative effects among seasoning vegetables was Ginger>Garlic>BHA>Onion and Extract state were more effective man Raw state. also the antioxidative effects of the seasoning vegetables were increased proportionally with the concentration in the Seasoning Oils. 2. In the case of heat treatment $(185{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$, AV, POV, IV and RI of each Seasoning Oil were changed very sharply. The antioxidative effect and Carbonyl Compound Content according to heat treatment differed from the type and concentration of seasoning vegetables in oil. Ginger had the most excellent antioxidative effect among seasoning vegetables, and m any case, the adding states of seasoning vegetables into oils were more effective in Extract man Raw states. 3. According to those results, each Seasoning Oil made from Garlic, Onion, Ginger was shown to have antioxidative properties specially in Ginger-Extract-Seasoning Oil. also the Autoclaving Method was thought to be rational method in preparation of Seasoning Oil.

The effects of high pressure on alliinase and on flavor of garlic (Alliiium sativum L.) were investigated. After pressurized at 150 MPa, 300 MPa, and 500 MPa for 10 min, the activities of purified alliinase were reduced approximately 30%, 80%, and 100%, respectively, while the enzyme activities of pressurized garlic cloves were reduced 0%, 7%, and 100%, respectively. This indicated that the intact garlic has a protective effect against pressure-inactivation of alliinase. Alliinase was more effectively inactivated when high pressure treatment was carried out at high ($>40^{\circ}C$) or low temperature ($>10^{\circ}C$) than ambient temperature. Pressure treated garlic at 500 MPa had little pungency and sulfuryl odor compared to raw garlic indicating that high-pressure processing can be used to produce garlic without pungent flavor.

Gout, a chronic inflammatory arthritic disease, is characterized by hyperuricemia. Gout can be induced by an inflammatory response to monosodium urate (MSU) crystals mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokine release following activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Many sulfur-containing phytochemical compounds in garlic (Allium sativum L.) are considered active ingredients because of their potential pharmacological benefits for various diseases, but their efficacy in NLRP3 inflammasome activation-mediated gout has not been demonstrated. In this study, we investigated whether diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl trisulfide (DATS), representative garlic-derived sulfur compounds, have an inhibitory effect on MSU-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our results showed that under non-cytotoxic conditions, DADS and DATS significantly blocked nitric oxide production and interleukin (IL)-1β release in response to MSU in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed RAW 264.7 macrophages. DADS and DATS also attenuated enhanced expression of NLRP3 and its adapter protein, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein, which was associated with downregulation of and caspase-1 p20 and IL-1β expression, suggesting that MSU-induced LRP3 inflammasome activation was counteracted by DADS and DATS. Furthermore, DADS and DATS blocked oxidative stress, an upstream event for NLRP3 inflammasome activation, as evidenced by the fact that they scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that DADS and DATS suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inhibiting the ROS/NLRP3 pathway and that they have potential as treatments for NLRP3-dependent gouty arthritis.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of superheated steam (SHS) treatment on the physicochemical and microbial properties of garlic. The garlic was treated by SHS at temperatures of 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and $350^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. The moisture content of raw garlic was lower than that of SHS-treated garlic. The total thiosulfinate and pyruvate contents were dramatically reduced by SHS treatments. The antioxidant activities of garlic measured by ferric reducing/antioxidant power, 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical scavenging assay, and total phenolics content decreased by SHS. The major volatile sulfur compounds of garlic such as diallyl disulfide, allicin, allyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, and diallyl trisulfide were significantly reduced by SHS. The antimicrobial effects of raw garlic were stronger than those of SHS-treated garlic against three strains of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus. However, total aerobic bacteria in garlic were dramatically reduced by SHS from 8.6 to 2.9 log CFU/g. The results from the sensory evaluation show that SHS treatment of garlic above $200^{\circ}C$ provides better acceptably due to reduction of off-flavor and pungency of garlic. These results suggest that superheated steam treatment can used as an efficient process for reducing garlic off-flavor and pungency.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics such as pH, total acidity, browning index, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), fructose, S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC), total polyphenol, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of aged garlic at different aging temperatures and periods. Aging temperature and period had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the quality characteristics of garlic. The pH in aged garlic significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increasing aging temperatures and periods, while the total acidity, browning index, and 5-HMF levels increased. The 5-HMF levels in garlic aged at 60 and $70^{\circ}C$ increased from 0.08~3.30 and from 0.05~106.07 mg/100 g, respectively. The fructose content in garlic aged at $60^{\circ}C$ gradually increased from 0.77 to 14.57%, while that of garlic aged at $70^{\circ}C$ increased from 1.07 to 19.75% until day 30, after which it decreased. The SAC level in raw garlic was 47.09 mg/100 g. The SAC contents of aged garlic differed significantly according to aging temperature and period. The SAC levels in garlic aged at $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ were in the range of 15.28~100.5 and 12.41~85.55 mg/100 g, respectively. The total polyphenol contents of garlic aged at $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ were 6.01 and 6.67 fold higher, respectively, than those in raw garlic. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of aged garlic also showed a tendency to increase during aging.

This study examined the quality characteristics of fermented black garlic (BG) with probiotics. Nine strains of probiotics were tested in media containing 20% BG. Four of the strains grew well in the BG media: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. paracasei subsp. paracasei, L. casei, and L. plantarum. These four strains were used to make 10, 20, and 30% BG fermented product, respectively. The number of viable cells, pH, acidity, S-allyl cysteine (SAC) concentration, and nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen species (ROS) generation in Raw 264.7 macrophage cells were measured. L. plantarum showed the best growth of all the strains in the BG media. The pH of all the samples decreased during fermentation, and the acidity increased acidity. However, they did not differ significantly from the pH and acidity of the control. In all four strains, the SAC content did not differ before and after fermentation. However, the SAC content increased, depending on the BG concentration. NO production was inhibited in the L. rhamnosus inoculation strain compared to the other strains. ROS generation was also significantly inhibited in the L. plantarum inoculation strain compared to the other strains. The results show that the characteristics of BG fermentation products are determined by the fermentation strain. Therefore, fermentation products with particular characteristics can be produced using a single strain or mixed strains.

This study was carried out to fortify the antimicrobial activity of yogurt by adding garlic juice to it. A raw garlic bulb was grated and heated with Glycyrrhiza uralensis to improve its antimicrobial activity and palatability. Yogurt was made with 0, 4, 8, and 12% garlic juice, and was evaluated in terms of its lactic starter growth, physico-chemical characteristics, growth inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 40510, and sensory characteristics. The garlic juice significantly increased the growth of the yogurt starter (p<0.05), which was highest with the addition of 4% garlic juice. Significant (p<0.05) inhibition of S. aureus KCCM 40510 occurred with the addition of 12% garlic juice. The preference was lowered with the addition of garlic juice, but the addition of 4% garlic juice showed no significant difference (p>0.05). To increase the antimicrobial activity of yogurt with the addition of garlic juice, further studies on the increase in the palatability of garlic juice are necessary.

Conformational changes of allivin, a major allergen protein in garlic, by gamma irradiation were observed. Allium solution (3.0 mg/mL in 0.01 M PBS, pH 7.4) and raw garlic were irradiated in a gamma irradiation facility to be absorbed with doses of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 kGy. After irradiation, a half of irradiated allivin solution was filtered through 0.22 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ filtration kit. UV spectrum and SDS-PAGE were used for observing the conformational changes of allivin by gamma irradiation. Turbidity of allivin solution was increased by optical observation, and the result was validated by the increase of absorbance at 660 m. Turbidity of irradiated and filtered allivin solution significantly (p<0.05) decreased, and the concentration of soluble protein in the solution decreased by increase of the dose. Aggregation among allivin molecules was observed by SDS-PAGE, but irradiated and filtered samples showed decrease of allivin with reducing aggregation trend. SDS-PAGE profiles of irradiated raw garlic were not different. Results indicate that gamma irradiation can decrease the allivin in solution state which may impact on allergenic reaction of garlic.

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activities and sensory properties of a sauce containing tea extract and garlic vineger against raw fish. The sauce was evaluated antibacterial activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus which is considered as one of the major food borne pathogens. As a result, the sauce inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus distinctly. In addition, the sauce with soy sauce and Kochujang showed the restricted growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus in sliced raw flatfish. Sensory evaluations were measured by 7-point hedonic scale using sliced raw flatfish with the sauce mixed with Kochujang and soy sauce. The score of texture in the sauce with Kochujang was significantly higher than that of regular Chokochujang (p<0.05). Moreover, total preference including appearance, texture, aroma and taste were significantly higher in the sauce with soy sauce than those of regular soy sauce (p<0.05). Consequently, the soy sauce with tea extract and garlic vinegar may enhance the satisfaction of consumer and antimicrobial activity that against V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, resulting in potential reduction the outbreaks of food borne pathogens.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although aged black garlic has various biological activities such as anti-allergy, anti-inflammation and neuroprotection, effect of aged black garlic on chemically contact dermatitis is unclarified. MATERIALS/METHODS: To evaluate anti-dermatitic activity of aged black garlic extract, we investigated effects of a fraction of aged black garlic extract (BG10) on both in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS: BG10 almost inhibited formation of nitric monoxide and interleukin-6 (IL-6; $IC_{50}$, $7.07{\mu}g/mL$) at $25{\mu}g/mL$, and dose-dependently reduced production of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$; $IC_{50}$, $52.07{\mu}g/mL$) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($IC_{50}$, $38.46{\mu}g/mL$) in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In addition, BG10 significantly inhibited the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2 and nuclear $NF-{\kappa}B$, and improved that of cytosolic levels of $NF-{\kappa}B$ and $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ in the cells. Consistent with in vitro studies, BG10 (0.5 mg/mL) not only reduced ear edema but also suppressed the formation of IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in ear tissues of mice. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest BG10 has anti-dermatitic activity through inhibiting activation of macrophages. Therefore, such effects of BG10 may provide information for the application of aged black garlic for prevention and therapy of contact dermatitis.
