The solvent extracts of the aerial part of Artemisia capillaris extracted by using several solvents with different polarities were prepared and their antimicrobial activities were examined. The antimicrobial activities and cell growth inhibitions were investigated to each strain with the different concentrations of the aerial part of Artemisia capillaris Acetone extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for each strain were appeared to 20 mg/mL at Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, 40 mg/mL at Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and 80 mg/mL at Salmonella tyhimurium. The cell growth inhibitions were shown on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella typhimurium for 48 hours. The acetone extract was further fractionated sequentially with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol for purifying crude acetone extract. The solvent fraction of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol showed the different antimicrobial activity, respectively.

Low density polyethylene(LDPE) film was fabricated with the addition of synthetic ceramic which contained a natural antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial agents used were isolated from culture broths of methylotropic actinomycetes strains MO-16 and MO-17, and Streptomyces sp. No. 31, which was newly isolated from soils as an antifungal agent. Four-day old culture broth of Streptomyces sp. No. 31 showed strong antifungal activity against Aspergilus niger, a test strain, and retained antimicrobial activity after heat treatment at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The ceramic LDPE film reduced the growth of total aerobic bacteria in packaged minced pork compared with commercial film. The film revealed a 40 to 50% growth inhibition of E. coli on a contained agar plate. In the storage testing of various packaged foods at room temperature for 30 days, the ceramic LDPE film showed excellent preservation compared with commercial film.

To investigate the natural antioxidant and antimicrobial phytochemicals from black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra MUNRO) leaves, the solvent fractions from crude methanol extract were made with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol, and their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were determined. The antioxidant activities were examined by 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) method, and the antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus were tested by paper disc agar diffusion method. Total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of the solvent fractions were also determined. The ethyl acetate fraction with the highest total phenolic contents among all fractions showed the strong antioxidant activities by DPPH method and FRAP method, and antimicrobial activities against S. aureus at all test concentrations. Caffeic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol were analyzed by HPLC in the ethyl acetate fraction from black bamboo leaves by the comparison with the standard chemicals. It is supposed that the ethyl acetate fraction from black bamboo leaves could be used as natural preservatives in the food industry.

Genetically Modified (GM) corn 'Bt11' was developed to promote insect resistance using crylA (b) gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis. Effects of heat, pressure, and ${\alpha}-amylase$ on DNA fragment degradation in Btll corn were examined through PCR. Whereas DNA fragment degraded completely within 4 min at $150^{\circ}C$ and by autoclave, most remained after oil-frying, boiling, and drying-autoclave. Treatment of ${\alpha}-amylase$ enzyme did not affect DNA fragment degradation. Among 65 corn-processed foods analyzed, 9 were detected as GM corn-containing foods(13.6%).

The wet soybean residue, a byproduct of soymilk industry having potential food value has been tried to dehydrate for the purpose of storage. The total solid of the byproduct was composed of 28.9% protein, 13.6% fat, 4.4% ash and 53.0% carbohydrates. The original water content of 593%(dry-weight basis) was reduced to 378% by pressing mechanically. The sufficient pressure and time for the pressing were found to be 0.5M/T and 5minutes, respectively. The partially dehydrated soybean residue was formed into pellets of 3mm in diameter and 10mm in length. By applying hot air on the thin layer of pellets the moisture could be further reduced to the level of 10% which is equivalent to that of the commercial wheat flour. No significant color deterioration in the product was observed if the hot air dehydration procedure was within the limit of 95 minutes at $120^{\circ}C$ under the air flow velocity of 160 feet per minute.

Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in boiled and dired fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid, brown pigments, and available lysine during the drying and the storage of boiled and dried shrimp (Metapenaeus joynri) was investigated. Fresh shrimps were bioled in 5% sodium chloride solution. The boiled shrimps were treated in two ways, sun drying and hot air drying at $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$. And the two dried products were stored at $30{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ for one month. The results obtained are as follows: TBA value increased up to 20 days and hereafter gradually diminished. POV was increased for processing and increased 15 days of storage. TBA value and POV increased rapidly while available lysine diminished during the sun drying and hot air drying. Brown pigment was increased during lipid oxidation but it was not statistically significant. This result implicits that the drying had greatly influenced on the oxidation of lipid and makes amino acids 'unavailable'. But there is no remarkable difference between the sun dried shrimps and the hot air dried shrimps so far as the lipid oxidation and available lysine.

In this study, we examined the effects of carrier oil type (MCT oil: MO, corn oil: CO, palm oil: PO), pH of dispersion solution, and antioxidants on the chemical degradation of ${\beta}$-carotene in oil-in-water nanoemulsions. The pH of the emulsion had a significant influence on the stability of ${\beta}$-carotene, which showed rapid degradation in emulsions at low pH value and relatively higher stability at high pH values. The influence of the carrier oil type on ${\beta}$-carotene stability was assessed. The rate of ${\beta}$-carotene degradation increased in the following order: CO > PO > MO. The effect of antioxidants on ${\beta}$-carotene degradation was monitored during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. The rate of ${\beta}$-carotene degradation decreased upon addition of water-soluble (ascorbic acid) or oil-soluble (tocopherol) antioxidants. In general, tocopherol was more effective than ascorbic acid in reducing ${\beta}$-carotene degradation. To utilize this nanoemulsion for producing acidic beverages, adding a higher concentration of antioxidants is required.

Whey is a natural product obtained during cheese production. With the advent of new technology, whey protein concentrates and whey fractions have become readily available and versatile food ingredients. Whey protein concentrates are highly functional ingredients that have gelling, emulsifying, whipping, water-binding and fat-replacement properties. New fractions derived from whey (such as alpha-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and peptides) attract considerable interest worldwide because of their bioactive or health-enhancing properties. Some of these fractions also find new uses as natural antibiotic, natural preservative and immunity-enhancing agents. With the growth of the functional foods industry sector, an increasing number of manufacturers take advantage of whey's nutritional and functional benefits to develop successful new products. The United States is the world's largest single producer and exporter of whey products. In 1997, more than 1 million metric tons of whey products were manufacturers in the U.S.

눈개승마 (Aruncus dioicus)는 장미과(Rosaceae) 눈개승마속(Aruncus)에 속하는 다년생 초본식물로 울릉도에서 자생하는 잎줄기 채소이다. 독특한 향기가 특징이며, 인삼맛, 두릅맛, 고기맛이 나는 산채로 세가지 맛이 난다고 하여 예로부터 삼나물로도 불러왔다. 눈개승마에는 caffeic acid, 1-O-Caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranose 등의 항산화 성분이 다량 함유되어 있으며, 전초는 해독, 편도선염에 효과가 있어 약용으로 쓰이고 어린순은 탄수화물과 무기물 함량이 풍부하다. 비지는 대두를 이용하여 두부를 제조하는 과정에서 발생되는 것으로서 대두로부터 수용성 단백질이 추출되었지만 나머지 약 23%의 단백질, 57%의 식이섬유와 이소플라본 등의 유용한 성분을 다량 포함하고 있다. 또한 비지의 단백질은 다른 식품에는 부족한 황 함유 아미노산과 리신의 함량이 비교적 많고, 두부에 거의 없는 식이섬유가 다량 함유된 고 식이섬유 소재이다. 그리하여, 이러한 콩비지를 고부가가치 식품 소재로 활용하기 위해 건조 미세분말 비지를 제조하고, 이를 산채와의 혼합 가공을 통한 기능증진 효과를 연구하였다. 일반적으로 산채는 쓴맛 제거와 보관성 증진을 위해 데침공정을 주로 하나 산채를 물에 데칠 경우 산채의 유용성분이 대부분 손실된다. 눈개승마의 경우 유용성분이 17.25%, 그 중 폴리페놀 성분이 약 90% 손실된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 데침공정 대신 찜공정을 이용하여 산채의 유용성분을 보존하고 콩비지를 첨가하여 산채 유용성분의 생이용성 증진 효과를 연구하였다. 눈개승마를 콩비지와 혼합하여 고온고압 가공함으로써 산채의 쓴맛을 줄이고 보관성을 높이는 동시에 눈개승마 폴리페놀의 단량체화를 통해 눈개승마 단독가공에 비하여, 단량체 비율이 약 100~200배 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 콩비지의 고부가가치 소재로의 가능성을 확인하였을 뿐만 아니라 산채의 다이어트·건강기능식품 소재로의 산업화에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
