This study investigated the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activity of unripe fruit peel solvent fractions of the native jeju citrus ‘Hongkyool’ (Citrus tachibana Tanaka) and ‘Pyunkyool’ (C. tangerina Hort. ex Tanaka). The total polyphenol content and total flavonoid content were highest in the butanol fraction of both ‘Hongkyool’ (534.4 mg/g, 431.8 mg/g) and ‘Pyunkyool’ (342.9 mg/g, 415.7 mg/g). In both cultivars, the butanol fraction showed the strong antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging and ABTS radical scavenging. The DPPH radical scavenging of the butanol fraction from ‘Hongkyool’ and ‘Pyunkyool’ was 89% and 64% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml, respectively. The ABTS radical scavenging of the butanol fraction from ‘Hongkyool’ and ‘Pyunkyool‘ was 94% and 85% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml, respectively. We investigated the effect of the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethyl acetate fraction from ‘Hongkyool’ and ‘Pyunkyool’ on LPS-induced NO production, IL-6, iNOS, and COX-2 protein expression in Raw 264.7 cells. At concentrations of 50 and 100 μg/ml of the ‘Hongkyool’ ethyl acetate fraction, the anti-inflammatory effect was excellent. These results suggest that ethyl acetate and butanol fractions from ‘Hongkyool’ and ‘Pyunkyool’ could be useful functional materials, with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.

The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary green tea on chicken meat quality and fatty acid content. Broilers were fed one of the four dietary treatments containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 3 % green tea for 10 days. Crude moisture, crude fat, crude ash, pH, meat color (CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) and fatty acid composition were measured in chicken breast meat during cold-storage. Crude fat did not differ significantly among treatments. Dietary green tea increased the amount of unsaturated fatty acids and decreased that of saturated fatty acids in chicken meat, resulting in increased ratios of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids. The amount of linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) was increased with increasing dietary green tea. Lightness ($L^*$), pH, TBARS, VBN, and total plate count were not significantly different during storage. Dietary green tea did not affect storage properties of chicken meat. The results of this study imply that dietary with green tea may have positive effects on chicken meat quality.

To get the nutritional data of hot water extract from imported kangaroo tails, research was done about contents of collagen, chondroitin sulfate, protein, fat, mineral ions, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in tails. Collagen content of sulfuric acid digested sample was way higher at bones than meats in both kangaroo tail and cow tail. Comparing kangaroo tail and cow tail, meat of kangaroo tail have 1.7 times higher collagen content than that of cow tail. Content of collagen in bone parts of kangaroo tail was also higher 1.2 times than that of cow tail. Meat sample of kangaroo tail (liquid extraction) have 1.3 times higher content of muco-polysaccharide than that of cow tail. In the born part, kangaroo tail was 2.4 times higher than cow tail in its content of muco-polysaccharide. The CLA content of the kangaroo tail showed the content that was higher than 0.9% of the cow tail for 4.9% and showed about 5.3 times high ratios. Especially in kangaroo tail, a band with high content of CLA was found between C18:1 and C18:2.

We carried out the expression and characterization of yeast thioredoxin system including thioredexin 1 (Trx1), Trx2, thioredoxin reductase (TR), and a novel thioredoxin (Trx3), which was reported in the data base of Saccharomyces genome. The Trx1, 2 and TR were expressed as soluble proteins in E. coli and the sizes of purified proteins were equal to the reported their molecular weights. The expressed Trx3 was found in both soluble fraction and precipitate. The size of Trx3 purified from soluble fraction of E. coli crude extracts was estimated as 14 kDa on SDS-PAGE instead of 18 kDa for Trx3 in precipitate. N-terminal amino acid sequence of the small size of purified Trx3 from soluble fraction was analyzed as FQSSYTS which is correspond to the sequence from 20 to 26 for Trx3. Trx3 together with thioredoxin reductase and NADPH was able to reduce the disulfide bridge of insulin and 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). Trx3 stimulated the antioxidant effect of thioredoxin peroxidase 1 (TPx1) which inhibited inactivation of glutamine synthetase (GS) in dithiothreitol (DTT) containing metal catalyzed oxidation system. The stimulation effect of Trx3 was 10% of the effect of either Trx1 or Trx2. In addition, Trx3 could reduce the disulfide of TPx to thiol, so that the TPx had thioredoxin dependant peroxidase activity. In western blotting analysis, antibodies against purified Trx3 did not cross-react with crude extracts of yeast, purified Trx1, and Trx2 proteins. But, in PCR reaction using the cDNA library of yeast as a template, gene encoding of trx3 was amplified.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the antioxidative activity and digestive enzyme inhibition of grape seed extract (GSE). The GSE was tested for its effect on various antioxidative potentials (scavenging activities of DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical and hydroxyl radical) and inhibitory effect of various digestive enzymes (trypsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, $\alpha$-amylase, $\beta$-glucosidase and lipase). DPPH radical scavenging activity ($SC_{50}$, 50% scavenging concentration) of GSE was 4.76${\pm}$0.27 ppm while those of positive controls (EGCG and vitamin C) were 2.22${\pm}$0.12 ppm and 9.50${\pm}$0.72 ppm, respectively. $SC_{50}$ value of GSE against superoxide anion radical and hydroxyl radical were 3.82${\pm}$0.07 ppm and 803.23${\pm}$27.16 ppm, respectively. In addition, $IC_{50}$ values of GSE against trypsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, $\alpha$-amylase, $\alpha$-glucosidase and lipase were 2.17${\pm}$0.59 ppm, 7.46${\pm}$1.25 ppm, 18.25${\pm}$3.54 ppm, 12.30${\pm}$1.12 ppm, and 653.23${\pm}$79.34 ppm, respectively. These results suggest that GSE may be useful for the prevention or treatment of obesity.

This study was carried out at the Chuncheon Substation, National Institute of Crop Science to determine the effect of cold water irrigation on the milling and polished quality of rice, as well as its physicochemical and amylogram characteristics, and palatability Chilling by Irrigation of cold water $(17^{\circ}C)$ induced delay of days to heading, reduction of culm length, inferiority of panicle exsertion and high sterility of panicle. Head rice ratio was decreased, while the percentage of chalky and creak rice increased with increasing sterility over from 20%. Protein content was gained 0.9-2.0% more than, while whiteness and palatability of the milled grain were reduced under cold water irrigation treatment. Significant decrease in maximum viscosity and breakdown viscosity of rice flour was investigated under cold water treatment by amylogram analysis, while the initial gelatinization temperature and setback viscosity were increased. Sensory panel test showed that the palatability of cooked rice was unfavorable and its stickiness was lower compared with that under normal condition. Differences in the aroma of cold-treated and untreated cooked rice were not performed significantly.

Several studies have demonstrated that chlorophyll has many beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties. Chlorophyll has been also shown to have an excellent chemopreventive potential against skin tumor. Its preventive mechanism against skin tumor, however, has not been examined in detail. Furthermore, the effects of chlorophyll on UVB-induced cellular responses have not been investigated. Solar UV radiation, in particular its UVB component, is the primary cause of many adverse biological effects, which is responsible for the photoaging and skin cancer. We investigated the preventive effects of chlorophyll a on UVB-mediated responses in human immortalized HaCaT kerationocytes and normal human fibroblast. We found that treatment of chlorophyll a markedly inhibited UVB-induced generation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. Chlorophyll a also prevented UVB-induced MMP-1 expression and MMP-2 activation and increased Type I pN collagen synthesis. These results suggest that chlorophyll a is a potent candidate for the prevention and treatment of UVB-induced skin cancer and photoaging.
