The purpose of this study was to enhance the quality of gochujang sauces containing Salicornia herbacea L. extracts at concentrations of 0%(C), 1%(RS-1), 2%(RS-2), and 3%(RS-3). Free sugars detected in gochujang sauce were sucrose, glucose, maltose, and fructose. pH level was not significantly different among the samples. As the contents of S. herbacea L. extracts increased, the salinity decreased. The colors of the gochujang sauce as indicated by -L, $a^{\ast\ast\ast}$, and $b^{\ast}$ values decreased as contents of gochujang sauce S. herbacea L. extracts increased. Most of the mineral contents of gochujang sauce containing S. herbacea L. extracts were higher than that of control. Overall acceptabilities of the S. herbacea L. extracts-added groups were in the order of 2%, 3%, 0%, and 1%. The 2% (RS-2) S. herbacea L. extract-added group was highly rated in general charateristics, making it the most desirable for making S. herbacea L. extract-added gochujang sauce.

This study was to develop processed food with the addition of onion powder by investigating the quality characteristics of cookies with various levels (0, 1, 3, 5 and 10%) of hot-air dried yellow and red onion powder. Moisture (11.59%), crude protein (4.56%), and crude ash contents (3.83%) of yellow onion powder showed higher value than red onion powder. Hot-air dried yellow onion powder showed a higher L and b value as compared with red onion powder because of the unique color of the onion. Browning index was lower in red onion powder than red onion powder. Phenolic contents of yellow onion powder appeared to be higher than that of red onion powder. Total sugar contents were higher in red onion powder than yellow onion powder. The pH of the dough significantly decreased with increase of added onion powder contents. Dough density of control had a significantly higher value than the other samples. Hardness measurement showed significantly higher value with increasing additions of onion powder contents; added red onion powder samples were the most highest when compared to added yellow onion powder samples. Results of sensory characteristics showed significantly higher smell, taste, texture and overall acceptability with 3% added red onion sample. Quality characteristics of 5% added yellow onion powder sample and 3% added red onion powder sample indicated possibilities for developments of onion cookies.

Changes in components of onion vinegar during two-stage fermentation were investigated. One sample group (A) was prepared with onion juice by extraction and concentration (15 brix), and the other group (B) was prepared using the same method but supplemented with sucrose. Comparison of glucose (4.1%), fructose (4.2%), and sucrose (0.6%) found in A as major sugars with those (3.2, 3.3, and 4.6%, respectively) of B showed a significant difference in sucrose concentration. During alcohol fermentation, S. kluyvery DJ97 consumed these sugars completely. At 36 hr of alcohol fermentation, concentrations of reducing and total sugars decreased to 0.5 and 0.8%, in A, and 0.4 and 0.6%, in B, respectively. No further changes were detected in the concentrations of these sugars thereafter. From 12 hr of fermentation, alcohol concentrations in groups A and B increased markedly, maximizing at 7.0% at 36 hr A and at 8.2% at 48 hr in B, and finally decreased thereafter in both groups. The detected alcohol components were ethanol, acetaldehyde, methanol, n-propyl alcohol, iso-butanol, and iso-amyl acohol. During acetic acid fermentation, the concentration of acetic acid as the major organic also increased significantly in both groups (4,776.72 and 4,894.93 mg% in A amd B, respectively). Other organic acid contents such as malic and succinic acids were higher in A than B. these results indicate that vinegar is better produced in onion extract with no sucrose supplementation based on its organic acid contents.

In this study, the biological activities and physicochemical properties of polysaccharides from Gloiopeltis furcata were investigated. Polysaccharides were isolated by enzymes treatment (celluclast, flavourzyme, papain, termamyl, viscozyme) followed by ethanol precipitation and lyophilization. The yield of polysaccharides by enzymes treatment group were 52.8-66.4%. The major constituents in viscozyme treatment group were total sugar (71.04%), protein (7.22%), uronic acid (23.18 g/100 g), and sulfate (28.27%), respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant potential of the viscozyme treatment group at 5 mg/mL were 23.10% and $218.50{\mu}M$, respectively. The protective effects against $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity in L132 cell of viscozyme treatment group at $1{\mu}g/mL$ was 85.64%. The viscozyme treatment group increased the production of nitric oxide (NO) in a dose-dependent manner. The antitumor activity of viscozyme treatment group (at $25{\mu}g/mL$) in A549, HeLa, SNU719 and MCF7 was 69.57%, 52.74%, 61.06% and 68.64%, respectively. All of data showed that the biological activities and chemical characteristics of enzymes treatment group are higher than that of the control group. The polysaccharides isolated from Gloiopeltis furcata investigated herein are useful as functional materials agents.

The leave of Polygonum tinctorium (LPT) have been used for centuries as a traditional medicine and as a food ingredient and natural dye. The aim of the current study was to develop high-value added products using LPT. Hot water extract (HWE) and ethanol extract (EE) of LPT were prepared, respectively, and their bioactivity was evaluated. The extraction ratio for the HWE was 27.6%, which was two-fold higher than that of the EE. The contents of total polyphenol in the HWE and total sugar in the EE were 51.2 mg/g and 297.8 mg/g, respectively. The total flavonoid and reducing sugar contents were similar in the extracts, irrespective of the extraction solvent. The HWE did not show antimicrobial activity in a disc-diffusion assay, but the EE showed strong growth inhibition against gram-positive bacteria. The EE exhibited stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power than those of the HWE. The HWE was particularly effective as a scavenger of nitrite ($RC_{50}$ of $6.0{\mu}g/ml$). In an antithrombosis activity assay, the EE showed significant anticoagulation activity as determined by an extended blood coagulation time (thrombin time, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time), in addition to platelet aggregation activity. The HWE also showed platelet aggregation inhibitory activity. This report provides the first evidence of antithrombosis activities of LPT. Our results suggest that LPT has potential as a new antioxidant and antithrombosis agent.

The effects of treatment with various complex carbohydrases such as Pectinex, Celluclast, Viscozyme, and Ultraflo on the physiochemical properties, polyphenol extraction yields and antioxidant activities of pear peel and pear core were investigated. When pear peel and pear core were treated with complex carbohydrases, the soluble solid content of peel increased, whereas it did not change significantly in the case of pear core. When pear peel and pear core were treated with Pectinex, significant improvement of soluble solid content was observed along with the highest extraction yield of reducing sugar content. Total sugar content increased in most of the enzyme treatment groups. In the case of pear peel, the Viscozyme treatment group showed the highest total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and SOD-like activity. When the flesh and core of pear were treated with Celluclast, total polyphenol contents increased. All enzyme treatment groups except for the Ultraflo treatment group showed increases in total flavonoid contents. With regard to pear flesh, the Celluclast group showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. When pear core was treated with the four complex carbohydrases, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity did not increase significantly. However, the SOD-like activity of all enzyme treatment groups significantly increased. Consequently, dry matter and soluble solid contents, polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity of pear peel and core could be improved by complex carbohydrase treatment.

Physicochemical characteristics of black garlic were analyzed. Colorimetry measurement showed that the black garlic, compared with fresh and steamed garlics, was the highest in a value and the lowest in L and b values. Crude lipid, crude protein, and total sugars were the highest in black garlic, which was followed by steamed and fresh garlic. On the other hand, moisture content was the lowest in the black garlic and the highest in the fresh garlic. The pH of garlics was ca. 6.8, 6.5, and 4.4 in fresh, steamed, and black garlic, respectively, which indicated that garlics tended to be acidified with the thermal processing. Total pyruvate and total thiosulfinates were the lowest in steamed garlic ($77{\mu}mol$/g and 0.07 OD/g for each) and the highest in black garlic ($278{\mu}mol$/g and 0.77 OD/g). Arabinose and galactose were detected only in black garlic and their contents were 1.6 and 13 mg/100 g, respectively. Free sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose were the highest in the order of fresh, steamed, and black garlic. Potassium was a predominant mineral in all garlics, constituting 76% of total minerals. Glutamic acid, arginine, and aspartic acid were the major composition amino acids in all garlics, regardless of processing conditions. 15 kinds of free amino acids were detected in fresh and steamed garlic, while five more free amino acids, O-phosphoethanolamine, and urea were additionally detected in black garlic.
