열수축성 튜브 제조에 적합한 조성을 얻기 위하여 PVC의 방사선가교에 대하여 검토하였다. 중합도가 각각 다른 PVC에 가소제, 가교제를 변화시켜 배합한 혼합물을 방사선 가교시켰을 때 가교도는 가교제, 가소제, 중합도 및 조사선량이 증가됨에 따라 증가되었다. 가교제로서는 삼관능성 단량체가 높은 가교효율을 나타내었다. 가교 PVC 필름의 열수축성은 연신배율과 수축 온도를 높여줌으로써 증가되었으나 가교제 및 가소제의 증가량에 의한 열수축성의 증가는 나타내지 않았고 저중합도 PVC의 열수축성은 극히 저조하였다.

The biological activity of hot water extract from Ecklonia cava Kjellman (ECE) was investigated to assess antioxidative, anti-skin aging, and nitrite scavenging abilities, as well as alcohol metabolizing activities. Antioxidant activity of ECE was measured by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity of ECE increased in a remarkably dose-dependent manner, and were about 91.4% and 75% at 1 mg/ml, respectively. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity was indicated to be about 70% at 1 mg/ml of ECE. Nitrite scavenging ability of ECE showed to be 93.6% at 1 mg/ml and pH 1.2. The influence of ECE on alcohol metabolism was demonstrated through the generating activity of reduced-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). The facilitating rate of ADH and ALDH activity by ECE was 167.2% and 334% at 10 mg/ml, respectively. In addition, tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory activities of ECE were 58% and 72% at 10 mg/ml, respectively. These results indicated that ECE has valuable biological attributes owing to its antioxidant, nitrite scavenging, alcohol metabolizing, and elastase and tyrosinase inhibitory activities.

Oxidative stress can play a key role in cadmium (Cd)-induced dysfunction. The present study examined the effect of pine needle water extract (PN) on Cd-induced oxidative stress in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into three groups: normal group, Cd control group (Cd) and PN-administered Cd group (Cd-PN). $CdCl_2$ in 0.9% NaCl was administered orally with a dose of 5mg/kg of body weight/week, while the PN was administered orally with a dose of 1.26g/kg of body weight/day. Body weight gain was not different between groups, whereas food intakes were significantly lower in the Cd-PN group than in normal or Cd group. Relative liver weight was significantly increased by cadmium administration compared to the normal group. Hepatic cytochrome P450 was significantly lower in Cd and Cd-PN groups than in normal group, while xanthine oxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities were significantly higher in the Cd-PN group than in normal or Cd group. Increased hepatic superoxide dismutase, monoamine oxidase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities by cadmium administration were significantly decreased by PN supplement. PN did not affect the hepatic glutathione content in cadmium-administered rats; however, PN significantly lowered the hepatic lipid peroxide level and plasma alanine transferase activity compared to the Cd control group. These results suggest that the PN may alleviate Cd-induced oxidative stress without hepatotoxicity.

Some structural characteristics of hot-water soluble and insoluble starches (waxy black rice starch) were investigated. The hot-water soluble material content of waxy black rice starch was higher (16.6%) than that (13.4%) of Shinsunchalbyeo starch heated at 98$^{\circ}C$ for 8 min. The Amax and absorbance at 625 nm for hot-water soluble and insoluble material of waxy black rice starch were lower than those of Shinsunchalbyeo. Elution patterns of hot water soluble and insoluble materials by gel permeation chromatography (Sepharose CL-2B) were similar in both samples.

The aim of this study was to investigate the hypolgycemic activity of water extract of fermented yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) leaves tea (Yacon LWE) in high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Male ICR mice were fed with a HFD (37% calories from fat) for 4 weeks prior to intraperitoneal injection with STZ (100 mg/kg body weight). Diabetic mice were supplemented with two doses of Yacon LWE (0.16% and 0.8%, wt/wt) for 6 weeks. The supplementation of high-dose Yacon LWE significantly lowered blood glucose levels and plasma ALT and AST activities compared with the control group. High-dose Yacon LWE also improved the insulin tolerance without any changes in plasma and pancreatic insulin concentrations in HFD/STZ-induced diabetic mice. Yacon LWE supplementation increased the insulin staining of pancreatic $\beta$-cells in a dose-dependent manner. Both 0.16% and 0.8% of Yacon LWE significantly elevated plasma leptin concentration, hepatic glucokinase activity and glucokinase/glucose-6-phosphatase ratio compared with the control group. However, glycosylated hemoglobin concentration was not different among the groups. These results suggest that high-dose Yacon LWE lowers the blood glucose level partly by enhancing insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice.

In this study, a survey was conducted to determine consumer perceptions and satisfaction for onion hot-water extracts. Among the study subjects, females (53.3%) were in greater number than males, and individuals in their 40s (35.1%) made up the largest group. Cocerning the detailed efficacy of onion hot-water extracts, most respondents (84.5%) were aware of their efficacy and females recognized this more than males (p<0.001). Most consumers (67.3%) purchased onion hot-water extracts from 'health food stores prepared using a double boiler', and many consumers (47.4%) received information on the extracts from families and relatives. Of the respondents, 51.8% said they purchased 'quantities for $1{\sim}3$ months' at one time, and 33.1% stated that the price of onion hot-water extracts was expensive. They considered 'health' the most important aspect when purchasing, and preferred 'pouch packs' (60.3%) and considered 'easiness to open convenience to drink, and safety' (42.0%) the most important product features. Also, 62.8% of the respondents consumed onion hot-water extracts, and many drank them $1{\sim}3$ times a week, with '70 mL' as one dose, and drank them 'regardless of time'. The consumers were satisfied with the listing of health effects, but were not satisfied with the 'taste', 'smell', or 'color' of products. Concerning advertisements for the efficacy of onion hot-water extracts, 72.5% replied 'I trust them a little'. And concerning the expanding onion hot-water extract market, many respondents said it is difficult to choose an onion hot-water extract due to many similar products at the market. They also requested improvements of taste and flavor.

We evaluated proanthocyanidin contents out of total polyphenolic compounds in two pine needle extracts prepared by combined extraction methods and compared their antioxidative activities. Amounts of total polyphenolic compounds of sub-supercritical hotwater precipitate (SSHP) and sub-supercritical hotwater supermatant (SSHS) were 225.4 and 116.6 mg/g, respectively. Amounts of proanthocyanidin of SSHP and SSHS were 9.9 and 3.6 mg/g, respectively. Thus, the ratio of proanthocyanidin contents over total polyphenolic compounds of SSHP and SSHS were 4.3 and 3.9%, respectively. Antioxidative activities ($IC_{50}$) of SSHP and SSHS measured by DPPH radical scavenging were 41.5 and $50.7\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. These results indicates that two combined extracts, SSHP and SSHS showed higher antioxidative activities than extract prepared by hot water or sub-supercritical. In conclusion, extraction procedures for SSHP and SSHS could be useful methods for preparing the effective components of functional food products.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of curd yogurt with varying content (0.5-2% (w/w)) of lemon grass hot-water extract (LGHWE). The pH decreased with higher LGHWE content until 8 h, with the treated groups showing higher pH values than the control group after 12 h. The viscosity and the viable cell counts of the yogurt with 2% LGHWE were significantly lower than those of the control group during fermentation. Color values of LGHWE yogurt were lower in terms of brightness, whereas redness and yellowness values were higher compared to the control. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and soluble content significantly increased with higher LGHWE content. Consumer acceptability score of yogurt with 0.5% LGHWE was ranked higher than that of other yogurts. Yogurt containing 0.5% LGHWE showed no differences in pH and titratable acidity compared to control after storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 14 days.
