This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant effect of 80% ethanol extracts from Pimpinella brachycarpa in vitro. The extraction yields of 80% ethanol extract was 9.23 g/100 g. The extract was further fractionated subsequently by n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water. Water fraction showed the highest extraction yield among fractions. Antioxidative activities of different fractions were examined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical generation, Rancimat test, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, nitrite scavenging activity, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and peroxide value in linoleic acid in comparison with the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Antioxidant activities of n-hexane fraction of Pimpinella brachycarpa ethanol extract were the highest among fractions. Furthermore, the antioxidative capacity of the n-hexane fraction was similar to that of BHT.

Whole soybean and soy flour were stored under two humidifies (65% and 85% RH) at $25^{\circ}C$ for 90 days to investigate the oxidation of total lipids. It was found that acid value and peroxide value of total lipids extracted from whole soybean and soy flour increased in proportion with the storage period. The change was more pronounced for soy flour stored at 85% RH. The increase of acid value and peroxide value was retarded by using the OPP/Al/PE film as packing material and the change of fatty acid was also reduced for whole soybean and soy flour. As for the change of fatty acid composition, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid decreased while saturated fatty acid content increased in proportion with the storage period.

Trans fatty acids are formed during refining process of vegetable oils (deodorization), hydrogenation, the high temperature treatment of oils and rancidity. Trans fatty acids contents were measured in vegetable oils added to tuna, oyster and mussel Can by Glass Capillary Gas Chromatography. Also Acid Values, Peroxide Values, iodine Values and Saponification Values of vegetable oils added to Can were determined. The results were as follows; 1. Among vegetable oils added to Can, trans fatty acids isomer of cotton seed oil were mostly t,c-18:2 and t,c,c-18:3. 2. Total average contents of trans fatty acids of soybean oil added to tuna Can (Ab) were shown the highest values among tuna (Aa, Ab), oyster, mussel (Cb) Cans. 3. All of oils added to Can had been keeping safe quality during 1 year or more with low Acid and Peroxide Values.

This study examines the effects of choline deficiency and 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF) on the lipid peroxide values, glucose 6-phosphatase(G6Pase) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in rats fed different dietary fats. Weanling Sprague Dawley male rats fed the diets containing 15% beef tallow or 15% corn oil with vitamin fortification mixture or choline free vitamin mixture for 10 weeks. At 3th and 5th week, 2-AAF was injected twice each week intraperitoneally. Total 2-AAF injection was four times. 2-AAF and choline deficiency increased lipid peroxidation in corn oil groups, so the role of 2-AAF and choline deficiency in lipid peroxidation was more important in corn oil groups than beef tallow groups. G6Pase activities tended to be decreased by 2-AAF in choline deficient groups, and in corn oil groups, the enzyme activities were decreased significantly in all subgroups compaired to beef tallow groups. GST activities were increased by 2-AAF in beef tallow groups and choline deficiency in corn oil groups, and might defence against carcinogen metabolism and lipid peroxidation.

To evaluate the effect of frying times on the oxidative stability of soybean oil and shortening, they were reused up to 10 times and measured by thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV) and sensory evaluation. As the reusing time was increased, TBA value of "battered pork" fried with shortening showed more sharply increased than that with soybean oil, while the value of shortening, itself, showed more decreased than that of soybean oil. In frying fat, AV and POV increased with the increase of reusing times. Compared with soybean oil, shortening had rapidly increased for POV as reusing time was increased. Among the sensory analyses TBA of "battered pork" with soybean oil and shortening exhibited the highest correlation with flavor and texture, respectively. For the "batgtered pork" fried with soybean oil and shortening, reusing shelf-lives predicted were approximately 9 and 8 times, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies added with different levels of flaxseed powder. Cookies were prepared with four different levels (0%, 6%, 12% and 18%) of flaxseed powder and the physicochemical properties were examined. The pH of cookie dough was higher in cookies containing flaxseed powder. The spread factor of control cookie was lower than that of cookies containing 6%, 12% and 18% of flaxseed powder. The incorporation of flaxseed powder in cookies lowered lightness and yellowness but increased redness values. Rheology testing showed that cookies with 6%, 12% and 18% flaxseed powder had significantly lower hardness value than control cookies (p < 0.05). Consumer acceptance test revealed that overall preference score was the highest in cookies containing 12% flaxseed powder. During storage at $55^{\circ}C$ for 60 days, peroxide value increased until 30 days of storage and decreased thereafter, while acid value steadily increased and there was no significant difference in peroxide value and acid value between control cookies and flaxseed added cookies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the total polyphenol and antioxidant activities of radish buds (Raphanus sativus L.) based on sprouting periods and extraction solvents in order to present basic data that are needed for using the radish buds as functional food material. The antioxidant activities were assessed by using various antioxidant models (DPPH, TBARS, Rancimat method, POV). The total polyphenol contents according to the extraction solvents were 84.11 and 296.51 mg/g, and the ethanol extract on day 4 of showed the highest value as 296.51 mg/g. As for DPPH radical-scavenging activity, on the day 4 of sprouting, water extracts indicated the highest scavenging activity by 86.67%, and the acetone extracts indicated a rather low scavenging activity as 77.23%. As for TBARS measurement of the radish bud extracts on day 4 of sprouting the extract of 70% ethanol was highest (71.48%). On day 8 of sprouting the TBARS value was increased and the methanol extract was highest (78.99%). As for the oxidative induction period on day 4 of sprouting in Rancimat measurement, the methanol extract was highest (6.07 hours) on day 4 and the antioxidant index was 1.16. On day 12 of sprouting, the general oxidative induction period tended to be reduced to 5.25 to 5.91 hours. In the peroxide value measurement on day 4 of sprouting and beginning of the storage, the extracts showed no difference between 3.02 meq/kg oil and 4.12 meq/kg oil, and on the day 60 of storage, the water extract (43.83 meq/kg oil) and the methanol extract (45.42 meq/kg oil) were lowest with higher antioxidant effect. In conclusion, the radish bud extract with higher total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities may serve as functional material for food additives, such as natural antioxidants and food preserving agents.

Lipie peroxide formation, antiperoxidative s system and body adaptability for handling lipid p peroxide were examined in the first and second g generations of rats fed fish oil. Mackerel oil(MO) was used and four other dietary oils and fat, i.e. soybean oil(SO), perilla oil(PO), rapeseed oil(RO) and beef tallow(BT) were also employed to compare the effect of fish oil. Synthetic diets containing these five dietary fats at the level of 1O%(w/w), were given to the correspond­m ing groups of male and female rats weighing about 70 grams. After 34 days of feeding, male a and female rats were mated and their offsprings were raised throughout suckling (17, 26 days) and weanling (39 days) periods. Liver lipid pero­x xide level was highest in MO group of both first (mother rats after lactation) and second genera­t tions of 17 and 26 days old, but not of 39 days old. During suckling period, liver lipid peroxide level was well matched to total unsaturation of dietary fat. Brain lipid peroxide levels were not different among five groups. Liver $alpha$-tocopherol a and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were lowest in MO fed first generation. In second generation, $alpha$-tocopherol level was also low in MO group, although the effect was less pronoun­c ced, but GSH level was not different from other groups. Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) level did not consistently vary by change in dietary fat. Glutathione peroxidase activity increased as young rats grew up to 39 days. Superoxide d dismutase activity change was insignificant by a age, but was shown as lowest in MO group. At the age of 26 and 39 days, liver glutatione peroxidase activity was increased as was level of lipid peroxide, suggesting that this is the one of the mechanisms responsible for body adapta­b bility for protection against the accumulation of lipid peroxide.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of baking method on the quality and shelf-life of Maejakgwa containing nuts and seeds. Four different types of nuts and seeds (almond, cashewnut, coconut, and sunflower seed) were added to flour, and baking method was applied to prepare the Maejakgwa, physicochemical properties of which were then evaluated. The proximate composition analysis demonstrated that crude protein, crude fat, and ash contents were higher in the Maejakgwa containing nuts and seeds than in the control group. The lightness (L) value of the control Maejakgwa was lower than that observed in the groups containing nuts and seeds. Maejakgwa made with cashewnut, coconut, and sunflower seed evidenced higher yellowness (b) values than were recorded in the control and coconut groups. The incorporation of cashewnut, coconut and sunflower seed into the Maejakgwa lowered the hardness values (p<0.05). Our consumer test demonstrated that Maejakgwa prepared with almond was the most highly preferred, and the control group was the least favored. After 30 days of storage at $60^{\circ}C$, the peroxide value of the Maejakgwa containing sunflower seed was substantially higher than in any other groups, thereby suggesting that the addition of sunflower seeds resulted in accelerated lipid oxidation. No noticeable changes in peroxide values were observed in the groups prepared with coconut and cashewnut during storage time. The acid value increased with increasing storage time, and the addition of sunflower seed evidenced the highest values as compared to other groups.

Influences of dietary brown seaweed(BSW) on the nutrient metabolism, anti-oxidant enzyme activity and cell-mediated immune response were studied in broiler chicks activated acute phase response. 72 Hatched male broiler chicks(Ross) were divided into 12 pens, 6 heads per pen, and fed the BSW 0.0% (Basal) or 2.0% diet, respectively, and injected with the Salmonella typhimurium lipopoly saccharide(LPS) for activation of the acute phase response three times at 8, 10 and 12 d of age. During 4 wks of experimental feeding, growth performance of broiler chicks was not affected by dietary BSW and the acute phase response. Compared with control birds, the acute phase response did not affect the daily weight gain in birds fed BSW 2.0% diet, decreased nitrogen balance(NB) or metabolizable energy(ME) utilization per metabolic body size(kg0.75), and enhanced activities of peroxidase or extracellular SOD(EcSOD), tumor necrosis factor-alpha and ovotransferrin in plasma and MnSOD and CuZnSOD in erythrocyte cytosol. Compared to BSW 0.0% diet, 2.0% diet enhanced protein retention(NB) per kg0.75 regardless the acute phase response, did not affect uric acid nitrogen excretion(UAN) per kg0.75 in birds during the acute phase response, decreased(p<0.05) the UAN excretion per kg0.75 in control birds. And BSW 2.0% diet also decreased(p<0.05) plasma peroxide level and erythrocyte peroxidase or MnSOD activity but increased plasma peroxidase and EcSOD activity and interleukin-1 activity secreted from LPS-stimulated PBMC in 4 week broiler chicks.
