The role of ascorbate as an antioxidant in the prevention and cure of disease that result from free radicals has been of considerable interest and controversy lately. As an antioxidant, we can expect it to protect against radiation damage caused by free radicals that are produced when radiation, especially sparsely ionizing radiation, interacts with living tissues. The plasma and whole blood concentration of ascorbate was analyzed before and just after the radiation therapy for the purpose of estimating the consumption amount of ascorbate during radiotherapy. Whole blood ascorbate was decreased from 1.82 mg/dl to 1.58 mg/dl, plasma ascorbate was decreased from 1.13 mg/dl to 1.08 mg/dl, and urine ascorbate was decreased from 9.33 mg/dl to 6.96 mg/dl after radiotherapy. Although the difference was not significant statistically, further human study should be followed to define the role of ascorbate as a radioprotector.

Normal tensile strength in collagen fibrils is due to intermolecular and intramolecular crosslinks which are known to be altered in aging. Pyridinoline, a mature crosslink which is stable and nonreducible, is derived from two hydroxyallysine and one hydroxylysine residues of collagen fibrils. The excess formation of pyridinoline in collagen is associated with making the tissue stiffer, less soluble and less digestible by enzymes. Lysyl oxidase is the enzyme that initiates the biosynthesis or crosslinks in collagen by catalyzing the oxidative deamination of the lysyl and hydroxylysyl residues in these molecules, and its activity is inhibited by $\beta$-aminopropionitrile(BAPN). Our previous work demonstrated that the pyridinoline content of bone collagen significantly was increased during incubation for 5 weeks at 37$^{\circ}C$ invitro, but it was diecrased by the addition of ascorbic acdi(AsA). In this study, we clarified the specific action of AsA in aging process in vitro enzymatic reaction.

광물질(minerals)이란 일명 무기질이라고도 하는데 원자량 16이하인 수소(H), 탄소(C), 질소(N), 산소(O)를 제외한 나머지 원소들을 말한다. 지금까지 공부해온 영양소 즉 탄수화물, 지방, 단백질 및 비타민들은 유기화합물에 속하는 영양소들인데 비해서 광물질은 그것이 유기화합물의 일부 구성요소일 수도 있고 또는 무기화합물로 존재할 수도 있고 때로는 독립된 원소상태로 존재할 수도 있는데 우리가 영양소로서의 광물질을 언급할 때에는 화합물을 말하는 것이 아니고 그 화합물을 구성하고 있는 원소 그 자체를 의미한다. 중요한 영양소의 하나인 물($H{_2}O$)은 즉, 수소(H)와 산소(O)는 광물질로 분류되지 않는다. 한편 탄산칼슘(Ca$CO{_3}$)과 같은 화합물은 무기화합물로서 칼슘(Ca). 탄소(C) 및 산소(O)의 3가지 원소로 구성되어 있다. 동물체내에서 발견되는 광물질에는 30여 종류가 있는데 이들의 총 함량은 2$\~$5$\%$ 정도이다.

The microbial reduction and quality characteristics of salted Chinese cabbage using electrolyzed water were investigated. The electrolyzed water was used to control the microbes in the processes of primary washing, salting, and secondary washing. The total bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, coliform, pH, salinity, vitamin C, and total sugar were analyzed. After primary washing by electrolyzed water, the total bacteria populations were reduced to 2.78 log cfu/g, and the coliform populations were similarly reduced. After secondary washing by electrolyzed water, the total bacteria population of Chinese cabbage was reduced to a maximum of 1.5 log cfu/g. The salinity of Chinese cabbage and salting solutions increased rapidly over three hours, and then increased slowly. The sterilization effect of electrolyzed salting water could not last beyond 3 hours, because the OHCl concentration of electrolyzed water was reduced by over 90% at the third hours of the salting process. Vitamin C was reduced and total sugar did not change regardless of treatments during the salting process. Consequently, electrolyzed water was effective to remove microbes from salted Chinese cabbages.

Microwave vacuum heating method (2450 MHz) was used for a low intensity of heat treatments. High vacuum under the microwave heating could bring low temperature condition. Inactivation of ${\alpha}-amylase,\;{\beta}-amylase$, glucoamylase and peroxidase by microwave vacuum heating were investigated at 60-$80^{\circ}C$. It was compared with conventional heating. The heating condition of microwave vacuum heating was confirmed by the destruction of ascorbic acid. When thermal inactivations of the enzymes by microwave vacuum heating were determined, it was less effective than that of conventional method at the initial stage of heating. It was due to a lag time of microwave heating. However, the heating time for complete inactivation of the enzymes by microwave vacuum heating could be reduced comparing with that of conventional heating. Optimum conditions for inactivation of the enzymes could be obtained by microwave vacuum heating.
