The antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of jam prepared with black garlic were evaluated. Fructo-oligosaccharide or maltitol syrup was replaced with sucrose: control (sucrose), fructo-oligosaccharide (FTO), FTOM (sucrose 50%＋FTO 50%), maltitol syrup (MT) and MTM (sucrose 50%+MT 50%). The endpoint of jam preparation was determined to reach $64^{\circ}Brix$ of sweetness. There were significant differences in moisture content among the treatments, whereas acidity among treatments was not different. Reducing sugar content and viscosity were the highest in FTO (0.144%, 126,800 cP), whereas the lowest in control (0.074%, 101,600 cP). Lightness (L value), redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) of Hunter color system were the highest in FTO compared to the others. Hardness and springiness of textural properties were the highest in FTO. Antioxidant activities were the highest in FTO with the lowest $IC_{50}$ values (42.3 mg/g for DPPH and 22.4 mg/g for hydroxyl radical scavenging activities). Total phenol content was highest in FTO among treatments. The overall acceptance score of black garlic jam containing FTO showed the highest score among treatments. Based on these results, it was suggested that fructo-oligosaccharide was appropriate for good qualities both in physicochemical and antioxidative activities of black garlic jam.

This study analyzed the quality characteristics of black garlic made from Seosan Yukjok Garlic and elephant garlic in Seosan, Chungnam province. Of the inorganic components, Mg content was the highest in all treatment groups, and the Ca content was high in each of the 15 day treatments. The content of K was high after 10 days aging in Yukjok garlic and after 15 days in the elephant garlic. The Fe, Na, K, and Mg content was high in Yukjok black garlic after 15 days, and Na, K, Ca, and Mg were high in the elephant black garlic aged for 15 days. The crude fat content was high in both Yukjok black garlic and elephant black garlic after 15 days. Vitamin C content was highest in both types of garlic after aging for 15 days. An analysis of four kinds of organic acids showed that citric acid was the only organic acid to appear in raw garlic of Yukjok garlic and elephant garlic. Black Yukjok garlic and elephant black garlic had a greater total amino acid content than the raw garlic of either type. However, among the tested amino acids, 13 kinds of amino acids were at their highest after five days of ripening in Yukjok black garlic, while 15 kinds of amino acids were abundant in elephant garlic after the same period. Eight kinds of amino acids were high after aging for 15 days. Through this study, it was confirmed that, in the process of making black garlic, changes in the main components of the garlic occur through different routes, and these changes vary depending on the garlic species. Therefore, this study provided basic data for the processing of Seosan's Yukjok black garlic and elephant black garlic.

We examined the quality characteristics of obtaining the optimal curing conditions for black garlic extract (BGE) added mackerel by using response surface methodology (RSM). The condition of RSM was included in 13 experimental points using two dependent variables: concentration of BGE (2.6~12.5 brix, X1) and curing time of BGE (17.58~102.42 min, X2). An assessment was conducted with four replicates on three independent variables: volatile basic amine (VBN, Y1), thiobarbituric acid (TBA, Y2), and shear force (Y3). The minimum content of VBN was 1.625 mg% at 3.17 brix, for 80.5 min. This was obtained when the BGE concentration was lower and the curing time was longer. The content of the TBA was 3.13~12.24 MA mg/kg at experiment range and the stationary point was at saddle point. Therefore, by using ridge analysis, the minimum point of TBA was 2.414 MA mg/kg at 3.5 brix for 84.4 min. The truth coefficient of the BGE concentration and curing time were 2.9 brix and 75.1 min, respectively, with a shear force ($120.764cm/kg^2$) shown at maximum point. The optimum Hunter color range was estimated from the lowest TBA value. The optimum range of the L color was 39.16~40.26, a and b color were 4.40~4.88 and 12.35~13.20, respectively.

To enhance the physiological activities and reduce the off-flavor of garlic in the Kimchi, we manufactured the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic instead of raw garlic and measured the contents of antioxidants and antioxidant activities. The polyphenol compound content was $270.91{\mu}g/mL$ in the control and $278.18{\sim}305.75{\mu}g/mL$ in the Kimchi seasoning with black garlic. The polyphenol compound content increased by increasing the amount of black garlic in the Kimchi seasoning. The polyphenol compound contents gradually decreased during storage period. The flavonoid compound content was 26.18 mg% in the control and 26.80~38.72 mg% in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic. The flavonoid compound contents increased by increasing the amount of black garlic. The flavonoid contents were different from those of polyphenol compounds during storage periods. In the case of DPPH electron donating abilities, DPPH electron donating ability of the control was 84.82%, which showed a lower antioxidative activity than the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic. The electron donating abilities of the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic were increased as the amount of black garlic was increased. In the lipid peroxidation test, the control showed no lipid peroxidation during the storage period. The Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic also inhibited lipid peroxidation during storage as in the control. However, it showed lower activity than the control. Reducing power was higher in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic than in the control. The higher the ratio of black garlic, the higher the reducing power.

Purpose: In order to develop soy sauce and increase its functionality, by adding black garlic extract. Methods: We compared quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of 20 days aging black garlic soy sauce from mixed manufacturers with raw soy sauce (commercial fermented soy sauce) and different ratio of black garlic extract (65 Brix, 0.3-5.0%). Results: The salt content of the black garlic extract (0.3-5.0%) added soy sauce were 12.35-12.77%. The pH was lowered to 4.99, and acidity was increased to 2.12%, depending on the increase in black garlic extract added ratio. The crude protein and total nitrogen contents were 6.23-6.62% and 1.10-1.16%, respectively, and content of amino form nitrogen was 0.52-0.53%, without significant differences between experimental groups. Contents of reducing sugar and free sugars (fructose and glucose) tended to be higher with higher mixing ratios of black garlic extract. Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids contents were significantly increased in the 3% and 5% black garlic extract addition group. At concentrations of 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1,000 and $2,000{\mu}g/mL$, the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of the polysaccharides isolated from control soy sauce and 5% black garlic extract added soy sauce showed higher correlation with their concentration. Conclusion: These results, confirmed that the soy sauce produced by adding more than 3% of black garlic extract has high antioxidant activity.

This study was performed to examine the quality and antioxidant activity of pork ham with various levels of black garlic extracts. Pork ham manufactured from black garlic extracts with 15 brix (1% (H1), 1.5% (H2), 2% (H3)) and 30 brix (0.2% (H4), 0.5% (H5), 1% (H6) were stored for 28 days at $8{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and analyzed with an interval of 7 days. In the sensory evaluation, the garlic odor was increased as the garlic extract adding level larger, whereas color, flavor, juiciness, texture and acceptability were not showed significant differences. The pH values of pork products were increased as the level of black garlic extracts increased. The shear force value of groups (H4~H6) with the addition of 30 brix extracts addition were significantly higher than those groups with 15 brix extracts addition (H1~H3) throughout the storage period. Furthermore, the TBARS (thiobarbutric acid reactive substance) content of the pork ham containing various levels of black garlic extract were lower than that of the control group as storage period increased. Thus, black garlic extracts have a potential application for the pork products to inhibit of lipid oxidation.

In this study, the quality characteristics of jelly with black garlic (0, 10, 20, and 30%) were evaluated. The pH of jelly with black garlic decreased according to the amount of black garlic added. The sugar content of the jelly increased significantly with added black garlic. Lightness, redness, and yellowness decreased with increasing black garlic content. Moreover, the textural properties, which included hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased in jelly that contained black garlic compared to the controls. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of jelly that contained black garlic increased in a concentration dependent manner. The $IC_{50}$ values of the DPPH radical scavenging activity for jelly that contained 10, 20 and 30% black garlic were 132.47, 50.97, 40.06, and 30.41 mg/mL, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ values of the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of jelly decreased as the black garlic concentration increased. Finally, sensory results showed that the scores of over-all preference and buying intention for jelly with 20% black garlic were the highest.

In this study, we have developed taste and other functional enhancements of yam chips, from tasteless and flavorless yam slices, through the process of soaking freeze-dried yam in different commercially available juices, including apple, omija (fruit of Maximowiczia typica), grape, wild grape, orange, tomato, red ginseng, and black garlic juice. The analyses of color (brightness, redness and yellowness), pH, brix, acidity, total polyphenol, total flavonoids, total sugar and reducing sugar, DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity, reducing power and nitrite scavenging activity, of the different yam chips showed that the freeze-dried yam slices absorb various components of fruit juices, such as flavonoids, sugars, organic acids and flavors, during the soaking process. These changes resulted in increased taste (both sweet and sour tastes), flavor and antioxidant activity in the yam chips. The soaking time for yam slices in juice is considered to be a crucial factor for the taste and bioactivity of yam chips. In the case of grape juice-yam chips, which had the highest preference among the 8 different chips, the optimum soaking time was noted as 120 seconds. The optimization of the soaking process is necessary for various juices. These results suggest that taste, and other functional enhancements, in yam chips can be developed by juice-soaking and freeze-drying methods.
