The methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha has been extensively studied as a model organism for methanol metabolism and peroxisome biogenesis. Recently, this yeast has also attracted attention as a promising host organism for recombinant protein production. Here, we describe the fabrication and evaluation of a DNA chip spotted with 382 open reading frames (ORFs) of H. polymorpha. Each ORF was PCR-amplified using gene-specific primer sets, of which the forward primers had 5'-aminolink. The PCR products were printed in duplicate onto the aldehyde-coated slide glasses to link only the coding strands to the surface of the slide via covalent coupling between amine and aldehyde groups. With the partial genome DNA chip, we compared efficiency of direct and indirect cDNA target labeling methods, and found that the indirect method, using fluorescent-labeled dendrimers, generated a higher hybridization signal-to-noise ratio than the direct method, using cDNA targets labeled by incorporation of fluorescence-labeled nucIeotides during reverse transcription. In addition, to assess the quality of this DNA chip, we analyzed the expression profiles of H. polymorpha cells grown on different carbon sources, such as glucose and methanol, and also those of cells treated with the superoxide­generating drug, menadione. The profiles obtained showed a high-level induction of a set of ORFs involved in methanol metabolism and oxidative stress response in the presence of methanol and menadione, respectively. The results demonstrate the sensitivity and reliability of our arrays to analyze global gene expression changes of H. polymorpha under defined environmental conditions.

This study optimized the extraction of antioxidants from Gugija (Lycium chinensis Mill). To determine operational parameters, including ethanol concentration ($X_1$, 0~80%) and extraction time ($X_2$, 1~5 hr), response surface methodology was applied to monitor yield, anthocyanins, flavonoids and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Coefficients of determinations ($R^2$) of the models were range of 0.8645~0.9859 (p<0.01~0.1) in dependant parameters. Yield of Gugija extracts was maximized 23.12% in extraction conditions of 4.22 h at 8.25% ethanol. Anthocyanins was maximized 1.43 (OD in 530 nm) in extraction conditions of 3.06 h at 79.98% ethanol. Flavonoids was maximized $3,100{\mu}g/100g$ in extraction conditions of 3.37 h at 67.02% ethanol. DPPH radical scavenging activity was maximized 96.93% in extraction conditions of 1.67 h at 69.81% ethanol. Optimum extraction conditions (2.5 h extraction at 70% ethanol) were obtained by superimposing the contour maps with regard to anthocyanins, flavonoids and DPPH radical scavenging activity of Gugija. Maximum values of anthocyanins, flavonoids and DPPH radical scavenging activity in optimum extraction condition were 1.0080 (OD in 530 nm), $3,145{\mu}g/100g$, 96.96%, respectively. But values of anthocyanins, flavonoids and DPPH radical scavenging activity in water extraction condition (1 h at water) were 0.4652 (OD in 530 nm), $1,633{\mu}g/100g$, 86.98%, respectively.

This study was conducted to optimize the processing conditions of seasoned laver Pyropia yezoensis with conger eel Conger myriaster seasoning sauce (CES) using response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM program results for bonesoftness showed that the optimum independent variables based on the dependent variables (Y₁, lipid removal rate; Y₂, texture; and Y₃, sensory fish odor score) were 431.0% for X₁ (water amount), 115.6℃ for X₂ (retort-operated temperature), and 50.1 min for X₃ (retort-operated time). The RSM program results for the CES blend showed that the optimum independent variables (X₁, amount of bone-softened conger eel by-products; X₂, mixed sauce amount; and X₃, starch amount) based on the dependent variables (Y₁, amino-N; Y₂, Hunter redness; and Y₃, drying time) were 44.8% for A (pre-treated conger eel by-product), 36.0% for B (mixed sauce), and 19.2% for C (starch). The RSM program results for seasoned laver with CES showed that the optimum independent variables based on the dependent variables (Y₁, water activity; Y₂, Hunter yellowness; and Y₃, overall acceptance) were 5.0% for X₁, (CES amount), 313.8℃ for X₂ (roasting temperature), and 6.0 s for X₃ (roasting time). The seasoned laver with CES prepared under the optimum conditions was superior to commercial seasoned laver in terms of overall acceptance.

This study was carried out to establish the optimal preparation conditions of yoghurt made from goat milk with reduced goaty flavor by adding citrus concentrate and flavor. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of citrus concentrate ratio (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5%), citrus flavor ratio (0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05%) and fructose ratio (3, 4, 5, 6, 7%). The physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of the sixteen yoghurt samples were compared. The addition of citrus concentrate had a significant (p<0.01) effect on the pH, $a^*,\;and\;b^*$ values. Regarding organoleptic properties, the addition of citrus concentrate had a significant (p<0.01) effect on color, and fructose had an effect on overall palatability. The maximum value of organoleptic goaty flavor was 2.35, more than double the minimum value. The optimum conditions predicted for minimizing goaty flavor of the yoghurt were 1.44% citrus concentrate, 0.0357% citrus flavor, and 6.91% fructose.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied in steaming and roasting processes of Polygonatum odoratum roots in order to monitor hypoglycemic components and sensory property. In steaming and roasting processes based on the central composite design with variations in steaming time $(60\~180\;min)$, roasting temperature $(110\~150^{\circ}C)$ and roasting time $(10\~50\;min)$, coefficients of determinations $(R^2)$ were 0.8691 (p<0.05), 0.8253 (p<0.l0), 0.8727 (p<0.05), 0.8706 (p<0.05) and 0.8316 (p<0.10) in soluble solid, stigmasterol, $\beta-sitosterol$, hypoglycemic component (total), and overall acceptability, respectively. The maximum value of soluble solid was $71.47\%$ in 65.24 min of steaming time, $126.93^{\circ}C$ of roasting temperature and 37.58 min of roasting time. The maximum value of hypoglycemic component (total) was $764.10\;{\mu}g/g$ in 107.76 min, $117.78^{\circ}C$ and 14.70 min. Meantime, the maximum value of overall acceptability was 6.89 in 126.04 min, $115.79^{\circ}C$ and 43.93 min. The predicted values in optimum conditions for hypoglycemic components and sensory property were in good agreement with experimental values.

The optimization of ethanol treatment was carried out by response surface methodology (RSM) which was expressed through change of ${\Delta}$E value for improvement of color of dried large anchovy. The optimum condition was shown as treatment with 7 volumes (v/m) of ethanol at $50^{\circ}C$ for 9 hrs. At this condition, the removal rates of trimethylamine (TMA) and fat considered as fishy odor-causing materials were 81.1 and $77.4\%$, respectively, when analyzed by solid phase microextraction (SPME)/gas chromatography and soxhlet method, respectively The effect of citric acid on the removal rate of TMA was the highest one among organic acid treatments. The removal rate of TMA was affected greatly by the concentration of organic acid rather than the temperature and time of treatment. $73\%$ of TMA was removed by treatment of $1\%$ of citric acid at $20^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. Specially, above $90\%$ of TMA could be removed by the combination of alcohol and citric acid treatment. In vitro absorption rate of calcium was also increased to $12.3\%$ by the combination of alcohol and citric acid treatment compared with $2.9\%$ of control.

This study used response surface methodology (RSM) in an effort to optimize the hot water extraction conditions of dandelion leaves in order to increase antioxidant activity in the extract. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables, which included the ratio of solvent to sample ($X_1$), extraction temperature ($X_2$), and extraction time ($X_3$), on dependent variables of the extracts, including soluble solid ($Y_1$), total polyphenols ($Y_2$), total flavonoid ($Y_3$), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability ($Y_4$), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging ability ($Y_5$), and superoxide radical scavenging ability ($Y_6$). The estimated optimal conditions were as follows: $83.77{\pm}1.07^{\circ}C$ of the extraction temperature, $20.85{\pm}0.24 mL/g$ of solvent per sample, and $1.59{\pm}0.12$ hr of extraction time. At the optimal conditions, the predicted characteristic values were: a yield of 38.98%, a total polyphenol level of $74.28{\mu}g/mg$, a total flavonoid level of $74.00{\mu}g/mg$, a DPPH radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$) of 0.14 mg/mL, a ABTS radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$) of 3.24 mg/mL, and a superoxide radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$) of 2.49 mg/mL.

Korean native Perilla Jangachi (salted and fermented vegetable) is popular and well-known but little study on its composition and most palatable condition has been reported. This study was performed to observe the change in the contents of chemical components and sensory evaluation of Perilla Jangachi which was prepared through two processing. First, as a pretreatment, Perilla leaves were soaked in salt water. The optimal level of salt concentration and soaking time (salt 4%, soaking time 42hours) was determined. Second, soaked Perilla Jangachi was steamed and then fermented in various ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, onion and so on. In this study, Perilla Jangachi was made by 3 levels of steaming time(30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds) and onion contents (10%, 30%, 50%). The optimal level of onion contents and steaming time was determined with the results of sensory evaluation by response surface methodology and analysis of composition. Sodium contents were decreased as the levels of onion contents were increased. Flavonoids contents weren't increased although contents of onion were increased. But they were influenced on steaming time that as the levels of steaming time were shortened, flavonoids contents were increased. To lengthen the shelf-life of Perilla Jangachi, the activities of enzyme peroxidase - which changes Jangachi's quality bad - by various levels of steaming time were measured. After steaming 50 seconds, peroxidase became inactive. Reducing sugar contents were decreased relying on either increased steaming time and onion contents. While steaming 30 seconds and 10% onion contents, the content of reducing sugar was 0.858% but steaming 90 seconds and 50% onion contents, it became 0.372%. Among the sensory attributes, brownness was increased as onion contents increased and steaming more than 60 seconds. Saltiness, sweetness, perilla flavor were greater relying on decreased onion contents. Toughness was decreased as both the amounts of onion and steaming time were increased. With this results, the most optimal adding level of onion content and steaming time was determined. Steaming 72 seconds and adding onion 27% was established as a optimal condition of Perilla Jangachi.

To develop an effective use for poor-quality individually quick-frozen (IQF) oysters Crassostrea gigas stored for a long period, the extract conditions, quality characteristics, and optimum reaction flavoring (RF) conditions of a complex extract from these IQF oysters were investigated. The moisture, pH, and volatile basic nitrogen contents of IQF oysters stored for 18 months (18M-IQFO) were 77.9%, 6.32, and 17.9 mg/100 g, respectively. Three different kinds of extract were prepared from 18M-IQFO: a hot-water extract (HE), scrap enzymatic hydrolysate (EH), and complex extract (CE). The respective extracts contained 5.5, 8.6, and 6.6% crude protein and 281.7, 366.0, and 343.0 mg/100 g amino nitrogen, and had 811, 359, and 1,170 mL/kg extraction yields. The CE was superior to the traditional HE in terms of the extraction yield, amino-nitrogen content, and organoleptic qualities, except for the odor. To improve flavor via the Maillard reaction, the reaction system used to produce a desirable flavor comprised CE (Brix $30^{\circ}$), 0.4 M glucose, 0.4 M glycine, and 0.4 M cysteine solution (4:2:1:1, v/v). The reaction time and pH were the independent variables, and the sensory scores for baked potato odor, masking shellfish odor, and boiled meat odor were the dependent variables. The surface response methodology (RSM) analysis of the multiple responses optimization gave a reaction time of 120.6 minutes and pH 7.33 at $120^{\circ}C$. The reaction improved the flavor of CE considerably, as compared to that of the unreacted extract.
