Wrinkle formation and dryness are the most well-known symptoms of skin aging. This study investigated skin anti-aging and moisturizing effects of Mugunghwa (Hibiscus syriacus L.), the national flower of Korea. The effect of H. syriacus L. flower extract was examined in skin cells originating from humans in vitro and in hairless mice exposed to UVB in vivo. The in vivo study results showed that skin hydration-related factors such as involucrin, filaggrin, HAS1, HYAL1, and matrix metalloproteinase-I (a primary skin photoaging factor) were regulated by H. syriacus L. Additionally, epidermal thickness and collagen disruption, which resulted in wrinkle formation and skin dryness, were ameliorated by oral administration of H. syriacus L. These results indicate that H. syriacus L. flowers can play important roles in preventing aging and promoting skin moisturizing.

To investigate stability for the quality of selected ginseng products, their sorption properties were clarified in red ginseng extract(RGEP), and red ginseng extract powder(RGEP), and red ginseng extract tea(RGET). Simultaneously, the BET monolayer value of each product was determined in order to inquire out the possibility of establishment as a criterion for the optimum moisture content of the ginseng products. Based on the BET monolayer moisture level of spray dried RGEP which ranged from 4.08 to 4.65%, it would be desirable to establish the optimum moisture content of the products at 4.4${\pm}$0.3%. This is 1.3 to 1.9% lower than the criter on, "less than 6.0%". The optimum moisture level for RGET of which monolayer value ranged 0.93 to 1.37% would be 1.2${\pm}$0.17%. In this case, the maximum permissible limit of moisture content could presumably be raised up to 1.37% in place of current criterion, "less than l.2%". From the results of a study on the growth of molds, the optimum moisture content for RGE assumed to be extended up to 40.0${\pm}$1.07 despite 36.0${\pm}$1.0% of the present criterion. On the other hand, a storage study under the maltreated condition, $48{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ 75%RH, was also carried out in order to make it clear whether the BET monolayer values were able to be used as indices for optimum moisture level of the products. In all samples tested adsorption occurred at even higher levels of moisture than the monolayer values. However, since there are many other possible factors affecting the quality of products the optimum moisture content is preferable to be reduced to the monolayer value. As a result, it was proved that the optimum level of moisture for both RGEP and RGET could be established by the monolayer values.

The present studies were undertaken to compared application as cosmetic ingredients of carrot glycoprotein(CG) manufactured by carrot and it's application for raw material of beauty ingredient with those of scale collagen peptide(SCP). CG and SCP apply functionality of each cream did not have fading, smell change, creaming effect and cohesion, that means the CG's properties turned out to be very stable in $5^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$. Trans epidermal water loss content was significantly lower in CG and amount of water contained in skin was significantly higher in CG. These results suggest that cream containing CG turned to be very effective in improving wrinkles excellent humid-protection as well as SCP to skin.

In this study, the antibacterial activity and the moisturizing effect of cream contaning Persicaria hydropiper L. extract were investigated by clinical trial. MIC values of ethyl acetate fraction from Persicaria hydropiper on P.acnes, S.aureus, P.ovale were 0.13~0.25%. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction was higher than or equal to the methyl paraben and quercetin. The cream containing the ethyl acetate fraction of Persicaria hydropiper L. extracts was formulated for skin hydration effect. Also, the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and the water contents in skin were measured. The cream containing Persicaria hydropiper L. extract was applied to the right lower arm. After 180 min, TEWL of parts was decreased as $6.5\;g/m^2h$ (experimental cream) and $7.5\;g/m^2h$ (placebo cream) respectively. And the water contents in skin were increased by 2~4% than the placebo cream. These results indicate that extract/fractions of Persicaria hydropiper L. can function as high potential as bactericide against the skin pathogenic bacteria and the increase of skin hydration of the cream containing extract could be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antiaging.

This study was conducted to improve the properties of frozen dough foods (buns and noodles etc.) on the quality deterioration with microwave oven cooking. Microwave is a useful cooking method, but it quickly takes moisture from food surface and makes lowering food quality abruptly. For improvement of these problems, mixing doughs with addition of various additives of 34 types manufactured respectively; starches, modified starches, gums and emulsifiers etc. Each mixing dough produced in sheet type $(30{\times}30{\times}1mm)$ and steamed them, was quickly froze at $-70^{\circ}C$ and packed with polyethylene. Packed samples kept at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. After they were steam or microwave treatment packed or non-packed with polyethylene, studied for improvement effects of quality as sensory evaluation and selected 6 type additives; modified starches (TA, ST), gums (AR, GA) and emulsifiers (E, S1) as improvement agent. Because moisture loss from microwave oven cooking leads to quality deterioration of frozen dough foods, additive, such as including starches, modified starch, gums, and emusifiers were added to improve dough properties. Amylogram, scanning electron microscopy, textural analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry revealed addition of additives improved textural properties including surface-hardening of frozen dough foods compared to the control.

We investigated the protective effect of UVB inducing photodamage from mulberry extract (ME) and Lithospermum erythrorhizon extract (LE). The contents of total anthocyanin and shikonin as a color compound of ME and LE were 4.92 mg/g and 9.58 mg/g, respectively. The electron donating ability and superoxide radical scavenging activity of ME were 84.32% and 76.34%, respectively. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity of the ME ($545.37{\mu}moles$ TE/g) was higher than LE ($427.18{\mu}moles$ TE/g). MMP-1 production in the HS68 cells were exposed to UVB suppressed by treatment with $200{\mu}g/mL$ of ME (68.6%) and LE (32.7%). ME and LE were applied to a skin aging mouse model, which was induced by the irradiation of UVB to the backs of hairless mice. The value of skin erythema index, wrinkle depth and thickness, epidermis thickness, and collagenous fiber damage in the experiment groups (MEL: ME 3%, MEM: ME 5%, MEH: ME 7%, LEL: LE 3%, LEM: LE 5%, LEH: LE 7%) were remarkably reduced than in the control group (only UVB exposure group), while water capacity increased. The level of total wrinkles depth in the skin was decreased to be 30% of the control group by MEH and LEM. These results suggest that ME and LE are useful cosmetic materials for skin protection against UVB-inducing.

The present study was performed to expand the application of mechanically impacting technology reported in our previous studies. Several parameters were analyzed to research Korean indigenous pigmented rice. The proximate composition of Korean indigenous rice was the following; 12.0-13.4% moisture, 74.1-77.3% carbohydrate, 6.8-8.7% crude protein, 1.68-3.25% crude lipid, 0.78-1.38% crude ash, with a 6.6-7.07 pH value. The phenolic compound content of red rice was twice that of black rice. Moreover, antioxidative activity was estimated by DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.15-1.04 mg/mL). Anthocyanin and chlorophyll in each pigmented rice type were detected by spectrophotometer. Garaedduk samples were prepared with non-waxy rice, salt, 24% water, and/or 15% indigenous pigmented rice(red, green and black, w/w of total swelling non-waxy rice) and adapted with or without mechanically impacting technology. Hardness, as a main texture profile parameter of Garaedduk was maintained up to 3 days under storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that Korean indigenous pigmented rice can be applied for functional Garaedduk adapted with mechanically impacting technology.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dextrinization methods (dry oven and roaster) and the ratio of dextrinized rice on the quality of Backsulgi during storage. The moisture content significantly increased with increasing the amount of dextrinized rice regardless of dextrinization methods. As the ratio of dextrinized rice increased, the L value of the Backsulgi decreased, but the a and b values increased. The a and b values of dry oven method were higher than those of roaster method due to their thermal denaturalization. However, there were no significant pattern's change in sample's colors during storage. In the texture profiles, the hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness significantly decreased with increasing the amount of dextrinized rice depending on the dextrinization methods and the ratios. The time constant (1/k) of the Backsulgi with dextrinized rice comparatively higher than that of control and appeared to be the highest in the Backsulgi formulated by 100% of dextrinized rice. In the sensory evaluation, Backsulgi with dextrinized rice over 30% after 1day storage showed higher value in overall quality and lower value in hardness than control. The addition of 30% dextrinized rice made by roaster showed the most effective on the quality and retrogradation of Backsulgi.
