This study investigated chemical composition and antioxidant activity in the aerial parts or roots of Korean and Chinese Cirsium. Water was abundant in their roots than their aerial parts, and its content was similar between Korean Cirsium and Chinese one. Ash was abundant in the aerial parts of Korean one. Protein was abundant in the aerial parts of Korean one and the roots of Chinese one. Lipid content was abundant in the roots of Chinese one. Carbohydrate was abundant in the roots of Korean one while K content was abundant in the roots of Chinese one. Ca and Mg contents were abundant in the aerial parts of Korean one. P and Fe contents were abundant in the aerial parts of Korean one. Cu content was abundant in the aerial parts of Korean and Chinese ones. Vitamin A and vitamin C were not detected, but vitamin E and $\beta$-carotene were contained 5.35 IU/100 g, 1113.18 ${\mu}g$/100 g in the aerial parts of Korean one. Yield, total phenolics and total flavonoid contents were abundant in the roots of Korean one. Silymarin, cynarin, and narirutin were not detected in Korean and Chinese ones, but apigenin was identified in the aerial parts of Korean one. Acacetin was identified in the roots of Chinese one. Antioxidant activity was low in Korean and Chinese ones. These results suggest that nutrition composition, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and apigenin content in the aerial parts of Korean Cirsium was superior than those in the roots of Korean and Chinese Cirsium.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of domestic and imported slices of skates Raja kenojei. Four types of slices of skates Raja kenojei were analyzed for proximate composition, extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, and fatty acids. A large amount of TMAO was detected in the domestic slices of skate. Both the domestic and imported skate contained aerobic bacteria, with approximate levels of 6.6 log CFU/g and 5.1${\sim}$6.5 log CFU/g, respectively. The total free amino acids contents of the domestic and imported skates were 579.7 mg and 387.6${\sim}$496.3 mg, respectively; all samples had high levels of taurine, anserine, lysine, alanine, glycine, proline, ${\beta}$-alanine, and histidine. Eleven different saturated fatty acids were found in the domestic skates whereas the impored skate had 7${\beta}$10 different types of saturated fatty acid. In addition, 16 kinds of domestic skate, and 10${\beta}$15 kinds of imported skate were analyzed for unsaturated fatty acid content. From the overall results, the domestic skate proved to be a better source of amino acid, and had higher levels of aerobic bacteria and fatty acids than the imported skate.

Volatile components of acorn crude starches and gel powder created from them were analyzed by Gas Chromatograph-Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry (GC-IMS). Crude starches were obtained from acorns harvested in South Korea (KAS), China (CAS), and North Korea (NAS). The principal component analysis (PCA) of each volatile component exhibited a significant contribution of PC 1 showing up to 60.5%. The acorn crude starch from KAS could be distinguished from crude starch from China by PC 1 (p<0.05). However, NAS and CAS could not be segregated statistically by the PC 1 component. PC 2, which exhibited 22.8% contribution, of KAS, also showed a meaningful difference (p<0.05) from those of CAS and NAS, making it possible to distinguish domestic acorn starch from imports.

이제 커피자동판매기에서 국내산 차를 판매하지 않아도 된다. 현행 커피자판기에 국내산 차를 강제적으로 1/3 이상 적용 판매하라는 규정이 삭제되게 되는 것이다. 보건복지부 식품정책과는 7월 19일 이같은 내용을 담은 "식품위생법 시행령 및 시행규칙" 개정안을 입법예고 했다. 이번 개정안이 마련된게 된 것은 한국자동판매기 공업협회의 적극적인 개정건의 작업의 결과이다. 한국자동판매기공업협회는 커피자판기 국내산 차 판매로 인한 여러 문제점들과 민원이 야기되자, 지난 2009년 11월초 보건복지부 식품정책과를 대상으로 "다류 식품자동판매기 국내산 차 의무 판매 규정"을 삭제해 줄 것을 개정 건의한 바 있다. 협회는 대형 커피자판기의 경우 커피의 판매 규정이 국내산 차 1/3 이상이어야 한다는 의무규정으로 인해 단일 커피자판기에도 싫든 좋든 국내산 차를 적용 판매함으로서 자판기 운영에 있어 큰 애로점으로 작용해 왔다고 주장했다. 또한 국내산 차 적용 판매가 소비자들에서 위생에 대한 취약성을 더 노출시킨다는 사실을 적극 어필을 했다. 이같은 협회의 주장을 보건복지부 식품정책과는 합리적으로 수용했다. 커피자판기의 국내산 차 적용 판매가 영업의 재량권만 침해할 뿐 규제 명분을 상실했다고 판단했다. 또 서울시나 식약청의 자판기 위생검사시에 상대적으로 국내산 차의 불량률이 높게 나타난 점도 주요인으로 작용했다. 이번 국내산 차 판매 의무 조항 삭제 입법예고로 커피자판기 시장은 새로운 흐름이 주도될 수 있을 것으로 보여진다. 업계에서 원하지 않는 조항이 삭제된 만큼 커피자판기 시장 활성화에도 적지 않은 도움을 주리라 기대된다. 이번에 입법예고된 개정안을 세부적으로 살펴보고, 과연 시장에 어떠한 긍정적 영향들을 미칠지를 분석해 봤다.

Sesame seed is known as a good nutritional source containing high oil (51%) and protein (20%). Sesame oil contains a very high oxidative stability compared to other vegetable oils. To obtain basic information for quality evaluation, imported and domestic sesame seeds were investigated to measure general components (ash, protein, moisture and oil), fatty acid composition and lignan content. Although the protein contents were the highest in domestic sesame seeds, yet the lipid contents were the highest in imported sesame seeds. Unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acids were the highest in the domestic sesame seeds. Lignan contents, the most important component known as antioxidant, were significantly higher in domestic sesame seeds than other imported sesame seeds. These results suggest that domestic sesame seed may have the best quality in terms of the functional components.

매년 수입닭고기 국내 유통량의 증가에 따른 국내산과 수입산의 외형적인 색도 차이를 분석하고자 국내산 신선육과 국내산 냉동 닭고기, 수입산 냉동 닭고기의 뼈 및 근육 가죽의 색도 차이를 분석하였다. 국내산의 신선닭다리 뼈의 명도 L 값은 56.04로 밝은 반면 냉동상태인 수입닭 뼈는 40.34 및 국내산 냉동은 38.58로서 명도값이 떨어졌다(P<0.05). 적색도 a 값도 국내산 신선닭의 2.81로서 월등히 낮은 값을 보였다(p<0.05). 수입 닭고기 다리뼈의 단면 색은, 국내산 냉동 뼈의 명도값이 37.50으로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 신선 닭고기와과 미국산 냉동육 뼈 단면의 명도 값은 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 적색도 a 값은과 황색도 b 값에서도 차이를 보이지 않았다. 닭다리 근육의 명도값은 국내산과 수입육간에 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 적색도 a 값은 국내산 신선육이 6.99로서 수입 냉동육 9.72 및 국내산 냉동 11.31 보다 훨씬 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 황색도 b 값에서도 국내산 신선육이 12.76으로 낮았다. 수입 닭고기는 일반적으로 냉동상태로 수입 및 유통되기 때문에 장시간 냉동에 의해 약간 검붉은 빛깔을 띠며, 광택이 없지만, 국내산 닭고기는 신선냉장상태로 유통되기 때문에 육색이 밝고 광택이 있어 보인다. 특히, 수입 닭고기 중 미국산 다리부위는 정육이 아닌 주로 뼈가 포함된 닭다리 형태로 비닐말이에 종이박스로 포장되어 수입되는 실정으로 장기간 냉동으로 건조가 될 뿐만 아니라 냉동과정 중, 뼈속에 잔류하는 혈액성분이 남아있어 일반적으로 수입닭고기는 검붉게 보이는 특성이 있다. 이러한 뼈와 근육 및 가죽에 의한 색도의 차이에 따른 특성으로 국내산과 수입산의 외형상의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.rhamnose의 생합성 과정을 예상할 수 있었다.되어 있는 양 정도의 콜레스테롤을 추가적으로 보상시킬 수 있다고 하는데, 이는 달걀 이외의 음식물에서도 섭취되는 콜레스테롤 양을 감안할 때 하루 총 1,000~1,500mg에 해당하는 양이다. 뿐만 아니라 이중 일부 사람들은 일반적인 식단 하에서 6개의 달걀을 추가하여 섭취하여도 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 높아지지 않는다고 한다. 여러 나라에서 아직도 일률적으로 권장되는, 음식물을 통한 일당 콜레스테롤 섭취량을 최고 300mg으로 제한해야 한다는 것은 건강인에 있어서는 앞에서 언급한 바와 같은 생리적인 피이드-백 기작으로 말미암아 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준을 저하시키지 못하거나 미미한 정도에 불과하다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 정상적인 범위인 180~240 mg/dl에 해당하는 대부분의 건강인에게도 콜레스테롤이 많이 함유된 달걀이나 기타 축산물을 이용한 식품의 지속적인 섭취를 적극 피하도록 권장하는 것은 국민보건상 별로 큰 위미가 없다고 생각한다. 왜냐하면 이로 말미암아 국민 건강상 문제점이 크게 향상되었다는 연구보고는 아직 발견되지 않고 있기 때문이다. 더욱이 동물성 콜레스테롤 다량 함유식품인 달걀, 우유, 유제품 및 육류 등의 섭취를 꺼리게 되면 이들 식품들이 영양생리학상 매우 중요한 양질의 영양소를 많이 함유하고 있기 때문에 여러 중요한 필수 영양소의 공급상태를 뚜렷히 감소시키게 된다. 병적으로 혈중 콜레스테롤의 수준이 높은 사람은 관상성 심장병의 발병 내지는 심장경색에 의한 사망에 대한 통계학적 위험성이 증가된다. 고콜레스테롤 혈증(청, 중년층의 경우 260mg /dl 이상) 환자중 많은 사람들은 대부분 음식물을 통한 다량의 콜레스테롤 섭취에 의해 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준이 높아진 것이 아니고

We investigated the quality characteristics of the Korean and American blueberry. There was a similarity between the general composition and sugar content of the Korean and American values. The pH values showed a low of 3.46 in American blueberries to a high of 4.49 in Korean blueberries. The L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) value scores of the American blueberry were higher than the Korean blueberry. The levels of total phenol content and DPPH radical scavenging abilities were 205 mg%, 93.48% in the Korean blueberry and 182 mg%, 84.32% in the American blueberry, respectively. The free sugar levels showed fructose 2,514 mg%, glucose 2,315 mg%, and sucrose 69 mg% in the Korean blueberry, while the free sugar levels of the American blueberry showed fructose 2,106 mg%, glucose 1,825 mg%. The contents of organic acid were lactic acid and tartaric acid in the Korean blueberry, while the organic acid in the American blueberry contained tartaric acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, and lactic acid. The Korean blueberry has 12 kinds of free amino acids, while the American blueberry has 9 kinds of free amino acids. Furthermore, the Korean blueberry contains 390 mg% of total amino acids, which was higher than 32% in the American blueberry with 295 mg% of total amino acids. The fatty acid contents of the American blueberry (2,897 mg%) was higher than that of the Korean blueberry (2,783 mg%) as well as in the oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. The mineral contents of all the samples were P>K>Ca>Mg, respectively. Given the above results, the Korean blueberry bioactive chemicals or properties were thought to be somewhat higher than the American blueberry.

This study compared the heavy metal contents and the effects of extracts from domestic and imported red sea bream on the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of human cancer cell lines. The antioxidant activity was measured using the fluorescently sensitive dye, 2’-7’ dichlorofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA), and antiproliferative activity against AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma and HT-29 human colon cancer cell lines, which was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Domestic red sea bream had a higher mercury content when compared to imported red sea bream, but there was no significant difference in the lead content. Treatments with acetone/methylene chloride (A+M) and methanol (MeOH) extracts from domestic and imported red sea bream dose-dependently decreased the H₂O₂ induced ROS production, compared to the control. The cell viability showed that treatments with the A+M and MeOH extracts had cytotoxicity in the growth of AGS and HT-29 cancer cells. In the case of AGS, the extracts from the domestic red sea bream were higher in inhibiting cancer cell growth, compared to imported red sea bream. Our results demonstrate that the heavy metal contents of domestic and imported red sea bream were below the limit of the Food Code of Korea. The results of the biological activities indicate that the antioxidant activity of extracts from imported red sea bream was more effective, while the extracts from the domestic red sea bream were stronger in cytotoxic activity.

Gelatinization properties of crude starches from acorns harvested in various countries (domestic (KAS), Chinese (CAS), and North Korea (NAS)) were analyzed, especially blue value, amylose contents, amylogram, particle size, and SEM (scanning electron microscope). Amylose contents of NAS, KAS, and CAS were 33.65%, 32.00%, and 30.48%, respectively, and a similar tendency was observed in blue value. According to amylogram, initial paste temperature was $72^{\circ}C$ for NAS and CAS and $71^{\circ}C$ for KAS, whereas peak viscosity was 580 BU for KAS and NAS and 570 BU for CAS. The cooling viscosity and setback of NAS and CAS were higher than those of KAS. The average particle size was 23.17 microns for KAS, 23.53 microns for CAS, and 82.14 microns for NAS; particle size ranging from 5~40 microns was highly distributed in KAS (68.9%) and CAS (73.8%), whereas 57.1% distribution was observed for 5~40 microns and 27.2% for >80 microns in NAS. Gelatinization ranges of SEM photography of CAS and NAS showed a more swollen, extremely disintegrated, and folded structure than that of KAS. From these results, gelatinization properties, especially viscosity, setback of amylogram, particle size, and SEM photography, differed according to the country.
