The Vietnamese occurrence of Stephania subpeltata H. S. Lo (Menispermaceae) is reported here for the first time. It is morphologically allied to S. japonica but differs in having subpeltate, ovate deltoid or broadly deltoid to subdeltoid leaves, shorter petiole, fewer leaf veins, conspicuously pedicellate umbelliform cymes which are seldom compound, and purple flowers and endocarp with a reduced number of abaxial rows. A taxonomic description, distribution details, ecology, and a key to the Vietnamese species of Stephania are provided.

This study was carried out to establish a regeneration system from leaf explant of purple sweetpotato(Ipomoea batatas L.) The optimal concentrations of plant growth regulators for callus induction and shoot formation were determined. The optimal combination for callus formation was 1$\mu$M 2,4-D 5$\mu$M BM, and highest yield of embryogenic calli were observed on Murashige and Skoog basal medium containing 0.5$\mu$M 2,4-D under light condition after 4weeks of culture. Embryogenec callus was subcultured on medium supplemented with 5$\mu$M ABA for 4 days. Subsequently, regeneration of adventitious shoots occurred when these embryogenic calli were transferred onto medium with 3∼6$\mu$M gibberellic acid. Regenerated shoots were developed into normal plantlets.

As one of the steps toward understanding how the plant is well adapted to strongly saline habitats, the purple pigment compound that is accumulated in Suaeda japonica was extracted and characterized. The extracted pigment compound exhibited typical characteristics of betacyanin that were represented by water solubility, pH- and temperature-dependent color changes, sensitivity to light, UV-Vis spectra, and gel electrophoretic migration pattern. LC-MS of the extracted pigment compound showed the presence of two major protonated molecular ions ($[M+H]^+$) at m/z 651.1 and m/z 827.1. According to the DPPH assay, it was found to have an antioxidant activity that is linearly increased in proportion to the reaction time for up to 30 min, and the activity was comparable to that of control BHA at 9.0 mg/ml. The cytotoxic activity against several tumor cell lines was also examined following the MTT assay. The significant growth inhibitory effect was observed on two tumor cell lines, SW-156 (human kidney carcinoma) and HEC-1B (human endometrial adenocarcinoma). Probably, the pigment compound may function as an osmolyte to uphold halotolerant physiological processes in saline environment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory properties of various breads prepared with purple-fleshed sweet potatoes and their powders. As the amount of purple-fleshed sweet potato and its powder increased, pH of the dough and bread, volume, dough yield, baking loss rate, and fermentation power of the dough decreased, whereas acidity of the bread increased. The lightness and yellowness of the breads decreased significantly, but redness increased with increasing content of purple-fleshed sweet potato and its powder. The textural properties, such as hardness, chewiness, springiness, and brittleness were significantly higher in groups with added purple-fleshed sweet potato and its powder compared to those in the control. The anthocyanin content and DPPH radical scavenging of dough and bread were higher in groups with purple-fleshed sweet potato and its powder than those in the control group. The groups with 5% and 10% purple-fleshed sweet potatoes and their powders had significantly higher scores for overall acceptability as compared to the control group.

In this study, we compared the organoleptic and other qualities of fermented milk containing 10 or 15% purple carrot extract that had either been previously fermented with Aspergillus oryzae or not fermented. Fermentation characteristics, pH, chromaticity, viscosity, viable cell counts, and sensory evaluations were measured. The pH and acid values did not differ between purple carrot extract fermented with Aspergillus oryzae and non-fermented extract. Viable cell counts were significantly higher in 15% purple carrot extract fermented with Aspergillus oryzae compared to the control after fermentation. Regarding characteristic changes, purple carrot extract fermented with Aspergillus oryzae group showed a lower red value but higher yellow value compared with non-fermented purple carrot extract due to heat-sterilization. Both fermented and non-fermented extract groups showed significantly increased viscosity compared to control. In the sensory evaluation, 15% purple carrot extract fermented with Aspergillus oryzae showed the highest score. In conclusion, addition of 15% purple carrot extract fermented with Aspergillus oryzae resulted in a superior fermented milk product.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of black carrot (Daucus carota L.) on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of pork patties. Patties were provided with different amounts (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of black carrot. Notably, the cooking loss rate of the group added with 8% black carrot was lowest (p<0.001). As the content of black carrot increased, the L value decreased and the a, b value increased. The texture analysis results showed that the hardness and chewiness to decrease as the amount of black carrot increased (p<0.05). Evaluation of consumer acceptability revealed that the 4% black carrot groups had a higher score in respect to overall preference and taste to the other groups (p<0.05). For antioxidant activities, both total phenolic compounds content and DPPH were increased (p<0.001) as the amount of added black carrot was increased. As a result, it can be concluded that adding the black carrot to patties in processing can improve antioxidant activities and quality of the patties. Considering various aspects of quality, the suitable amount is 4% of total weight.

Physicochemical and sensory properties of Mul-Kimchi(warery Kimchi) prepared with red cabbage was compared with those of Chinese cabbage or white cabbage. Acidity and turbidity of red cabbage Mul-Kimchi were somewhat higher than those of Chinese cabbage one, which was due to higher soluble solid content in red cabbage Mul-Kimchi. Hunter color a value of red cabbage Mul-kimchi was very much higher than that of Chinese or white cabbage, which was consistent with the data of anthocyanin content. Free radical scavenging activity was much higher in red cabbage Mul-kimchi than in Chinese or white cabbage one. Red cabbage Mul-kimchi had higher values of hardness, fracturability and chewiness during fementation, compared with those of Chinese or white cabbage one. Sensory results showed that there was no difference in overall acceptability among three kinds of Mul-kimchi, although red cabbage one has higher scores of appearance and color than others. Best to the results of this study, it is suggested that red cabbage is a good ingredient for Mul-kimchi.

This research investigated the quality characteristics and anthocyanin content of wet noodles according to the amount of freeze-dried purple sweet potato powder. For viscosity, initial pasting temperature tended to increase compared to the control group, whereas peak viscosity, peak viscosity time and final viscosity steadily decreased. As the amount of purple sweet potato powder increased, breakdown value of viscosity and set back value significantly decreased. For chromaticity, as the amount of purple sweet potato powder increased, L-value decreased gradually, whereas a-value gradually increased and b-value significantly decreased compared to the control group. Anthocyanin content significantly increased in the addidtive group (91.79) compared to the control group (70.20). Measurement of texture characteristics found that hardness was highest in the control group, but it decreased as the amount of purple sweet potato powder increased. Springiness, gumminess and chewiness were highest in the control group. In the sensory evaluation, color, odor, chewiness, and overall acceptance were high in the 6% addictive group. In this study, by investigating the anthocyanin contents, quality characteristics and sensory attributes of wet noodles with freeze-dried purple sweet potato powder, we found that the 6% additive group is the best. Our results provide basic information for the development of noodles with purple sweet potato powder.

We investigated the quality characteristics of rice noodles supplemented with turmeric, purple sweet potato, or seaweed (Hizikia fusiforme). RVA (Rapid Visco Analyser), color, water activity, texture, and cooking properties were tested. Initial gelatinization temperature of noodles containing turmeric were the highest. Peak viscosity, holding strength, break down, final viscosity, and set back of noodles containing purple sweet potato were highest, indicating that the gelatinization state was more unstable and retrogradation would occur faster. The L value of the seaweed noodle was the lowest, while the a and b value of the turmeric noodles were $7.3{\pm}0.3$ and $40.2{\pm}1.3$ respectively, higher values than turmeric and seaweed noodles. Water activity of the seaweed noodle was 0.665, higher than turmeric and purple sweet potato noodles. Cooking properties (including weight, volume, and water absorption) and turbidity of seaweed noodles showed the highest growth rate. In terms of texture, the hardness was highest in purple sweet potato noodles, and the cohesiveness and gumminess was highest in seaweed noodles. The quality characteristics of rice noodles supplemented with turmeric, purple sweet potato, or seaweed showed that seaweed noodles were stable in gelatinization and cooking properties.

We investigated noodles supplemented with turmeric, purple sweet potato, or seaweed (Hizikia fusiforme) for their functional properties, including total phenol, flavonoid contents, electron donating abilities, and nitrite scavenging abilities. The percentage of total phenolic compounds in turmeric, purple sweet potato, and seaweed noodles were 2.40, 2.47, and 1.27%, respectively, whereas the percentage of total flavonoid contents were 0.55, 0.92, 0.74%, respectively. Results showed that purple sweet potato noodles had the highest amount of phenolic compounds and flavonoids compared to the other types of noodles. The electron donating abilities of the turmeric, purple sweet potato, and seaweed noodles were 4.72, 4.11, and 3.11 at 1,000 ppm respectively. The nitrite scavenging abilities of the turmeric, purple sweet potato, and seaweed noodles were 75.93, 79.81, and 73.51% at pH 1.2, respectively. Purple sweet potato noodles had the highest nitrite scavenging abilities, with an effect better than BHT and ascorbic acid. The ferrous ion chelating effect of turmeric, purple sweet potato, and seaweed noodles were 12.17, 13.63, and 42.12%. All of the experimental results showed good anti-oxidative activity; thus rice noodles supplemented with turmeric, purple sweet potato, or seaweed, have good functional effects for human beings.
