This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of red beet (Beta vulagaris) root. Red beet root was extracted using 70% ethanol and then fractionated sequentially with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol. Antioxidative ability was evaluated by bioassays using total polyphenol contents and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid diammonium salt) radical scavenging activity. Ethyl acetate fraction of red beet root was best on total polyphenol contents ($37.02{\pm}0.37mg\;GAE/g$) and ABTS radical scavenging effects ($IC_{50}$ $42.9{\pm}9.5{\mu}g/mL$). For the anti-inflammatory activity in RAW264.7 cells, the hexane fraction showed the highest inflammatory effect. Dose response studies were performed to determine the inhibitory effect of hexane fraction of red beet root on pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The hexane fraction of red beet root inhibited the NO and $PGE_2$ production and the protein level of iNOS and COX-2, and protein expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$), in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that red beet root has considerable potential as a functional food ingredient with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Various dietary pigments are added to processed foods to improve their sensory and commercial properties. In this study, autoclave sterilization (121℃ for 15 min at 15 psi) was performed on 34 food pigments, and changes in their color stability and antioxidant activity were analyzed. The autoclaving process drastically reduced the peak color intensities of water-soluble paprika and beet red (BR) by ~90%. Turmeric oleoresin (TO), water-soluble β-carotene, and grape skin color were also unstable and showed a remaining color intensity of 45-60%. The colors of all the synthetic pigments tested were stable under this process. The scavenging activities of BR and paprika against ABTS, DPPH, and AAPH radicals decreased significantly, whereas those of TO were enhanced after the autoclaving treatment. The results suggest that the chemical and bioactive properties of certain dietary pigments are affected by the autoclaving process, and this phenomenon should be considered during food processing.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antioxidant enzyme activity and radical scavenging activities of thirteen kinds of natural plant pigments. The analytic method of antioxidant activities were measured by estimating DPPH free radical scavenging and nitrite scavenging ability activity. The free radical scavenging activity by method using stable free radical DPPH was the highest in the red cabbaged pigment. Addition of ethanol extract 1mg/ml from onion peel pigment displayed remarkable effect on nitrite scavenging ability about 91.9%. Antioxidative enzyme activity was evaluated in terms of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase(APX) activity. The bitter melon pigment had the highest SOD activity of 87.3%. The activities of CAT and APX were higher in the mulberry leave pigment compared with other natural plant pigments. In contrast, CAT activity of plant pigment samples were unaffected. These results suggest that natural plant pigment had the potent biological activities such as antioxidant enzyme activities, and that their activities exhibited differently depending on each kind of pigments.

There have been lots of researches for H.264/AVC performance enhancement on a multi-core processor. The enhancement has been performed through parallelization methods. Parallelization methods can be classified into a task-level parallelization method and a data level parallelization method. A task-level parallelization method for H.264/AVC decoder is implemented by dividing H.264/AVC decoder algorithms into pipeline stages. However, it is not suitable for complex and large bitstreams due to poor load-balancing. Considering load-balancing and performance scalability, we propose a horizontal data level parallelization method for H.264/AVC decoder in such a way that threads are assigned to macroblock lines. We develop a mathematical performance expectation model for the proposed parallelization methods. For evaluation of the mathematical performance expectation, we measured the performance with JM 13.2 reference software on ARM11 MPCore Evaluation Board. The cycle-accurate measurement with SoCDesigner Co-verification Environment showed that expected performance and performance scalability of the proposed parallelization method was accurate in relatively high level

Red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a root vegetable and a popular functional food ingredient of dark red-purple appearance due largely to betacyanins, principally betanine (75-95%) and its isomer, isobetanine (15-45%). This study developed an analytical method for beet red in terms of betanine and isobetanine in processed food products labeled with beet red as a food additive. High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (HPLC-DAD) was used with a C₁₈ column. Linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), accuracy, precision and uncertainty in measurement were calculated for method validation. Matrix-matched calibration was applied to the candy, ice cream, and cocoa product, respectively, and R² was ≥0.9998, showing a high level of linearity. The LOD and LOQ were 0.16 to 0.32 and 0.48 to 0.97 mg/L, respectively. As a result of repeated intra-day and interday experiments to validate the accuracy and precision of the analytical method, the recovery rates were 96.0-103.1% and 100.0-102.2%, respectively and the RSD% was 0.5-3.3% and 0.9-3.8%, respectively. Moreover, the measurement uncertainty was estimated to be 1.71-12.43% depending on the matrix and the measured concentration. In this study, betanine and isobetanine were quantified (8.4-3,823.4 mg/kg) by applying the developed analytical method to processed food products (n= 26; e.g., candy, ice cream, and other processed foods) labeled with beet red as a food additive.

This study was conducted to clarify the antimicrobial effects and radical scavenging activities of the cosmetic compositions having the natural plant pigments, and to enhance the natural materials utilization of cosmetics. The antimicrobial activities of the fifteen kinds of cosmetic composition having natural plant pigments were evaluated using the agar diffusion method. Most of the cosmetic composition having the natural pigments showed the clear zone formation of growth inhibition against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aspergillus flavus. Especially, purple sweet potato, bitter melon, mulberry leaf and gromwell showed the higher antimicrobial activities. All the cosmetic compositions were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using DPPH radical scavenging capacity and nitrite scavenging ability activity. Both of the free radical DPPH and nitrite scavenging ability was the highest in the cosmetic compositions of onion peel, and these antioxidant activity was significant differences according to different plant pigments. In this study, we conjectured that the plant pigment had the potent biological activities, therefore these plant resources having functional components could be a good materials for development into source of natural cosmetics.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the skin whitening and UV absorption effects of bioconverted Beta vulagaris (BBE) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SM4, and the effects were evaluated by measuring total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), radical elimination activity (RSA), and tyrosinase activity inhibition (TAI). TPC and TFC of BBE were 25.0 mg GAE/g DM and 8.05 mg QE/g DM, which were 1.3 and 1.1 times higher than hot-water extract (HWE) respectively. RSA, an indicator of antioxidant activity, and TAI, an indicator of skin-whitening effect, were 36.8%, and 68.6%, respectively, 1.1 and 1.2 times higher than that of HWE. UVA and UVB absorption of BBE were 21.4 and 87.6%, which was 1.4 and 1.7 times higher than that of HWE respectively. When main substances of BBE were analyzed using LC-MS/MS, kaempferol and isorhamnetin, a type of polyphenols known to have high antioxidant and skin-whitening effects, were identified. As a results, BBE is expected to be used as a functional cosmetic material as it has excellent antioxidant, skin whitening, and UV absorption properties.

Nowadays NGN is developed for supporting the e-Commerce, Internet trading, e-Government, e-mail, virtual-life and multimedia. Internet gives us the benefit of remote access to the information but causes the attacks that can break server and modify information. Since 2000 Nimda, Code Red Virus and DSoS attacks are spreaded in Internet. This attack programs make tremendous traffic packets on the Internet. In this paper, we designed and developed the Bandwidth Controller in the gateway systems against the bandwidth saturation attacks. This Bandwidth con-troller is implemented in hardware chipset(FPGA) Virtex II Pro which is produced by Xilinx and acts as a policing function. We reference the TBF(Token Bucket Filter) in Linux Kernel 2.4 and implemented this function in HDL(Hardware Description Language) Verilog. This HDL code is synthesized in hardware chipset and performs the gigabit traffic in real time. This policing function can throttle the traffic at the rate of band width controlling policy in bps speed.
