Common cruciferous vegetables, kohlabi (Brassica oleracea) and radish (Raphanus sativus), contain phytochemicals such as glucosinolates and carotenoids. Therefore, this study investigated the antioxidant and anti-adipogenic effects of kohlrabi sprout extract (KSE) and radish sprout extract (RSE). The total carotenoid and glucosinolate contents of KSE and RSE were $39.50{\pm}0.67$ and $76.73{\pm}2.75mg/g$, respectively. The total glucosinolate contents of KSE and RSE were $2.65{\pm}0.02$ and $8.13{\pm}0.54mg/g$, respectively. The in vitro-antioxidative activities of KSE and RSE were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, ${\beta}$-carotene and glucosinolate-enriched KSE and RSE significantly inhibited lipid accumulation and reactive oxygen species production during the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. These results suggest that glucosinolate-enriched KSE and RSE, especially RSE, can be used in the treatment of obesity and as a natural source of antioxidants.

Vitamin E and K are essential micronutrients required by our body in small amounts for proper metabolic functions; however, the content of vitamin E and K commonly consumed in foods has not been comprehensively defined. In this study, the contents of vitamins E and K in sea algae and vegetables were analyzed and the analytical methods were validated. The α-tocopherol equivalent (α-TE) and vitamin K1 content in sea algae ranged from 0.15 to 1.14 mg/100 g and from 11.91 to 1,629.5 ㎍/100 g, respectively. In addition, α-TE and vitamin K1 of vegetables were detected in the range of 0.02-2.48 mg/100 g and 16.15-979.60 ㎍/100 g, respectively. In particular, β- and γ-tocopherol and α- and β-tocotrienol were detected in several vegetables. The analytical methods were accurate and reproducible. These results provide reliable data on the vitamin E and K contents of foods consumed in Korea for the development of National Standard Food Composition Database.

The influence of electrolyzed acid-water (oxidation-reduction potential (ORP): above 1,150 mV, pH : 2.5) on the survival of some microorganisms was investigated. It was observed that the ORP of electrolyzed acid-water was kept at the level of above 1,000 mV for 15 days at room temperature. Escherichia coli. Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were not detected after 10 to 40 min in electrolyzed acid-water. However, Bacillus cereus showed higher tolerance to electrolyzed acid-water than other test microorganisms. After 60 min of inoculation, only 0.4% of initial population remained. The investigation of surface sterilization effect on some vegetables was carried out too. Total count of cabbage, Chinese cabbage and kale were reduced to below 3% of initial count, and no coliform was detected after 20 to 60 min of immersion in 5 volumes of electrolyzed acid-water. In the lettuce, total and coliform counts were reduced to 90% and 2% of initial population. This study shows that the electrolyzed acid-water has a potential for the sterilization of food products such as vegetables and fruits which cannot be thermally sterilized.

Most fresh-cut agri-food products are less stable than unprocessed materials from which they are made. The objective of this study was the development of a quality control system for fresh-cut agri-food products. In this study, vitamin C, minerals, residual heavy metals, and pesticides of various fresh-cut agri-food products were analysed. Sensory evaluation revealed that overall acceptability scores were less than expected in most products since fresh-cut products are likely to cause browning and easily lose their freshness. Therefore, the postharvest technologies that can maintain the quality, freshness and appearance must be supplied. Although vitamin C and minerals are main nutrients that can be supplied from salads, the results showed that vitamin C and mineral contents were very small and extremely small compared with the values from the food composition tables. It is possible that vitamin C and most minerals that are easily destroyed were lost through minimal processes like peeling and cutting. In safety side, the remaining heavy metal contents of fresh-cut agri-food were investigated and the results showed that copper and lead existed in some products because only cadmium in agricultural produce is controlled by the minimum standard of heavy metal contents in Korea. No residual pesticides were detected in all products.

Ten green leafy vegetables were cultivated from medicinal plant seed. Their nutritional content, taste, appearance and texture were evaluated. Moisture content was $91.23{\pm}0.00%$ in $Saururus$ $chinensis$ (Sc), $90.39{\pm}0.05%$ in $Perilla$ $frutescens$ (Pa) and $66.78{\pm}0.05%$ in $Agastache$ $rugosa$ (Ar). The fat content was 8.89% in $Salvia$ $plebeia$ (Sp) and 0.13% in $Peucedanum$ $japonicum$ (Pj). The protein content was $11.1{\pm}0.00%$ in Ar and $0.54{\pm}0.03%$ in Pj. Total sugar content was $20.06{\pm}0.03%$ in $Geum$ $japonicum$ (Gj), $12.73{\pm}0.03%$ in $Coixlacry$ $majobi$ (Cm) and $1.04{\pm}0.03%$ in $Atractylodes$ $japonica$ (Aj). Medicinal leafy vegetables had higher glucose, sucrose and fructose, but lower maltose. Ascorbic acid content was $33.67{\pm}1.40$ mg% in Sc, $27.91{\pm}2.91$ mg% in Pa and $15.68{\pm}1.09$ mg% in At. Chlorophyll content was higher in $Perilla$ $frutescens$ var. $acuta$ Kudo than other leafy vegetables. The evaluation also showed that Cm, Pa and Aj tasted sweeter and had low acidity.

In this study, the delivery conditions and microbial contamination in Mille-feuille Nabe and fresh spring roll meal kits purchased online were assessed. The average surface temperature on the product arrival was 14.4℃. The average number of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms in Mille-feuille Nabe was 3.27 log CFU/g and 1.27 log CFU/g, respectively, in meat, and 6.66 log CFU/g and 2.94 log CFU/g, respectively, in vegetables. The average number of total aerobic bacteria and coliforms in fresh spring rolls was 3.82 log CFU/g and 1.93 log CFU/g in meat, and 5.62 log CFU/g and 3.31 log CFU/g in vegetables, respectively. Escherichia coli was detected in bok choy and perilla leaves, with an average of 0.86 log CFU/g. Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157:H7 were not detected in any of the samples; however, Listeria monocytogenes was detected in all three beef samples. Therefore, before consuming meal kits, sufficient washing and heating are recommended to prevent occurrences of food poisoning.

진공노즐방식의 파종기로 파종작업할 경우 박과채소의 대목으로 사용되고 있는 대립종자들의 최대파종율을 얻기위하여 참박, 특토좌, 흑종호박 종자에 대한 파종시험을 실시하였다. 1) 적정한 노즐구경과 홉착부압은 참박종자가 1.5mm, 7.97kPa, 특토좌종자가 1.5mm, 10.63kPa, 흑종호박종자가 2.0mm, 5.31kPa과 1.5mm, 13.28kPa로 나타났다. 2) 최적작동조건에서 참박종자, 특토좌종자 및 흑종호박 종자의 최대 파종율은 97.6%, 98.8% 및 97.6%로 나타났다. 3) 종자가 커지고 무거워짐에 따라 노즐의 구경이 큰 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났는데, 대목으로 사용되는 종자에서는 1.5mm노즐을 범용으로 사용가능하다는 결론을 얻었다. 4) 노즐개수가 많아지면 부착압력이 낮을 경우에는 파종율에 차이가 있었지만 부착압력이 높아지게 되면 파종율의 차이는 약간 낮아졌다. 5) 참박, 특토좌, 흑종호박 종자의 최대파종율을 나타내는 흡착부압 P = η.4W/$\pi$d$^2$로 나타낼 수 있고 여유계수 η ≒ 10으로 나타났다.
