In order to examine the effect of oil extraction methods on the charateristics of sesame oil, the fractionation pattern and fatty acid compositions of the each fraction of the oil were compared in the oil extracted by the three different extraction methods, that is, pressure extraction of roasted seed (RTP), acetone extraction of roasted seed (RTE) and acetone extraction of raw seed (RWE). The amount of triglyceride in RWE oil was slightly higher as 77.2% of the total lipid than that in RTP and RTE oil of 73.4%. The content of oleic and linoleic acid in glycolipld and fatty acid fractions, linoleic acid in triglyceride, and palmitic and stearic acid in phospholipid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were higher than those from RWE oil, but the oleic acid in triglyceride. Palmitic and stearic acid in free fatty acid, and oleic and linoleic acid in phospholipid from RTP and RTE oil were lower than those from RWE oil. The ratio of $C_{18}$ to $C_{16}$ fatty acids and unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in glycolipid and phospholipid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were higher than those from RWE oil, but the ratios in triglyceride and free fatty acid fractions from RTP and RTE oil were lower than those from RWE oil.

Santalum album has been used as a folk medicine for treatment of skin diseases, inflammation, gonorrhea, gleet, and cystitis in India and other Asian countries. In a search for possible bioactive agents from natural sources, we found that the various solvent extracts of S. album showed significant antioxidative effect in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity test and moderate other biological functions submitted to the several bioassay systems for whitening and cytotoxicity evaluations. Among the tested extracts displayed DPPH radical scavenging activity, and the 70% acetone extract showed the most potent activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $18.6\;{\mu}g/ml$, more potent than a positive control, L-ascorbic acid ($IC_{50}$, $28.7\;{\mu}g/mL$). Also, anti-lipid peroxidation, tyrosinase inhibitory, and cytotoxic effects were determined in each experiment. Total phenolic content of 70% acetone extract was found to be 117.1 mg equivalent of gallic acid per g of extract. Previous phytochemical investigation reveals the presence of phenolic compounds. The results indicate that S. album possess potential antioxidant activity and phenolic constituents are responsible for this capacity.

Steeping and germination conditions were investigated in order to produce barley containing a high ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content, and the changes in GABA and nutritional components before and after germination were also evaluated in this study. Water absorption rates of three barleys increased alongside both steeping time and steeping temperature. The highest GABA contents of the three barleys, 10.4-14.1 mg/100 g, were obtained from the steeping condition of $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. The GABA contents of germinated barleys ranged from 14.3 to 20.9 mg/100 g, increasing by 3.9 to 14.6 times compared with raw barley. The crude lipid, crude ash and total mineral contents were slightly decreased after germination. The major fatty acids of the three barleys before and after germination were linoleic and palmitic acids. ${\beta}$-glucan contents of three barleys were slightly decreased after germination.

Mechanically deboned chicken meat(MDCM ) from necks and backs was blended with 0.1% oleoresin rosemary, 0.1% oleoresin sage and 0.05% rosemary combined with 0.05% sage to evaluate retardation of oxidative rancidity during storage at$3^{\circ}C$ and $-25^{\circ}C$, respectively. 1. Moisture content of MDCM was 66.3%. protein 17.6%, fat 15.0% and ash 1.10%. Several types of bone particles such as angular and needle like shape in MDCM were observed by light microscope. 2. Lipid oxidation of MDCM started to increase after 2 day and increase rapidly after 6 day of storage at $3^{\circ}C$. Oleoresin sage and rosemary apparently retarded oxidative rancidity of MDCM during refrigerated and frozen storage, TBA and total carbonyl values demonstrated that sage was more effective antioxidant than rosemary, and sage /rosemary combination was the most effective antioxidant among them. 3. The oxidative rancidity of MDCM apparently accelerated after 50 days of storage at $-25^{\circ}C$. The addition of oleoresin sage and rosemary inhibited oxidizing changes stored for 100 days at -$25^{\circ}C$.

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant ability of a cumin seeds ethanol extract (CE). The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/mL of CE were found to be 24.6, 41.4, and 73.4 and 14.5, 27.2, and 50.1%, respectively (p<0.05), suggesting a dose-dependent effect. Moreover, the total phenolic content of CE was $61.0{\mu}M$ tannic acid equivalent/g extract and the FRAP value was $429{\mu}M$ ascorbic acid equivalent/g extract. In 9 hours of oil oxidation, CDA and ${\rho}-AV$ was significantly reduced to 13.4 and 59.1%, respectively, at a CE concentration of 100 ppm compared with that in the control (p<0.05). Major volatile compounds of CE were found to be ${\alpha}$-pinene, 2-butenal, cyclohexene, ${\beta}$-pinene, cis-sabinene, ${\rho}$-cymene, and limonene. These results suggest that CE containing volatile compounds has excellent antioxidant ability and oxidation stability, and thus could be used as a natural antioxidant to prevent oxidation in lipid foods.

This study was aimed at investigating the physicochemical characteristics of a freeze-dried soybean paste block with sea mustard. In the proximate composition, the crude protein, lipid and ash contents were higher in the product prepared with commercial doenjang than in a green tea product, whereas the carbohydrate content was high in the green tea doenjang than in the commercial product. There was a rich composition of free amino acids, alanine, phenylalanine, hydroxyproline, valine, leucine, isoleucine and lysine in both products. The majoity of the free amino acids were more abundant in the green tea doenjang product than in the commercial doenjang product. There were no differences between the two products in the total saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The order of the abundance of the fatty acid contents in both products were linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid. The major of the organic acid in both the commercial soybean paste product and the green tea product was oxalic acid, followed by tartaric acid and citric acid. In the sensory evaluation test, the taste, color and overall acceptability were not significantly different between both products, but the odor was significantly higher in the commercial product than in the green tea product. The freeze-dried doenjang product could be convenient for cooking nutritious sea mustard soup, without tedious preparations for a husband and wife that are both working.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide (CPP) on the motility, mitochondrial integrity, acrosome integrity rate, and antioxidant ability of sheep sperm after preservation at 4℃. Methods: Semen from healthy adult rams were collected and divided into four groups with separate addition of 0, 200, 400, and 1,000 mg/L CPP. Sperm motility was analyzed using the Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis software after preservation at 4℃ for 24, 72, 120, and 168 h. Sperm acrosome integrity rate was analyzed by Giemsa staining at 24, 72, and 120 h, and mitochondrial membrane integrity was analyzed by Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos. The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of spermatozoa were measured after 120 h of preservation. Results: The sperm viability and forward-moving sperm under 200 mg/L CPP were significantly higher than that in the control group at 72 h (61.28%±3.89% vs 52.83%±0.70%, 51.53%±4.06% vs 42.84%±1.14%), and 168 h (47.21%±0.85% vs 41.43%±0.37%, 38.68%±0.87% vs 31.68%±0.89%). The percentage of fast-moving sperm (15.03%±1.10% vs 11.39%±1.03%) and slow-moving sperm (23.63%±0.76% vs 20.29%±1.11%) in the 200 mg/L group was significantly higher than control group at 168 h. The mitochondrial membrane integrity of the sperm in the group with 200 mg/L CPP was significantly higher than those in the control group after storage at 4℃ for 120 h (74.76%±2.54% vs 65.67%±4.51%, p<0.05). The acrosome integrity rate in the group with 200 mg/L (87.66%±1.26%) and 400 mg/L (84.00%±2.95%) was significantly higher than those in the control group (80.65%±0.16%) after storage for 24 h (p<0.05). CPP also increased T-AOC and decreased the MDA concentration after preservation at 4℃ (p<0.05). Conclusion: Adding CPP could improve the T-AOC of sperm, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and facilitate semen preservation.

For the effective use of salmon processing by-products, the food components of muscle around pectoral fin (MAPF) were investigated and compared with those of salmon fillet muscle (SFM). The proximate composition of MAPF was 64.4% for the moisture, 17.2% for the crude protein, 16.2% for the crude lipid and 1.4% for the ash. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content and yield of MAPF were 6.73, 7.8 mg/100 g and 7.4 (g/100 g SFM), respectively. The trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble-N content of MAPF was 479 mg/100 g, which was lower than that (612 mg/100 g) of SFM. The Hunter value of MAPF was 54.86 for L value, 22.08 for a value, 22.41 for b value and 52.35 for ${\Delta}$E value, which were similar to those of SFM. The total content in amino acids of MAPF was 17.1 g/100 g, its major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. The major fatty acids of MAPF were 16:0, 18:1n-9 and 18:2n-6, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3. No differences were found in the major fatty acids and the major amino acids between MAPF and SFM. The calcium and phosphorus contents of MAPF were 19.1 mg/100 g and 211.7 g/100 g, respectively. These results suggested that MAPF could be used as seafood resources.

This study was conducted to investigate changes in the proximate composition, antioxidant activities, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) cladodes cultivated in Jeju (JJ1, JJ2, JJ3) and Jeonnam (JN1, JN2). The difference in the proximate composition (crude protein, lipid and ash content) of OFI between the two regions was not significant. Ca, Mg and Na were the major mineral components of OFI. The ascorbic acid content of OFI ranged from 57.87 to 143.72 mg/100 g. A 70% ethanol extract was used to investigate the antioxidant content and activity as well as the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of OFI were 38.69~55.29 and 3.33~4.03 mg/g, respectively. The antioxidant activities based on the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assays were 45.19~61.52% and 39.15~51.96%, respectively, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. The inhibitory activity of OFI extracts against rat intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was 29.72~45.73% at 1 mg/mL concentration, and JN1 showed the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This information could be very useful for authentication of Opuntia species with the highest potential as sources of nutritional and therapeutic elements.
