The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of string cheese with different concentrations (0, 1, and 2%) of barley sprout (Hordeum vulgare L.) powder. The pH of barley sprout string cheese (6.26) was significantly lower compared to that of the control (6.46). Chromaticity tended to decrease with increasing amounts of barley sprout powder in terms of L* (lightness) and a* (redness), whereas b* (yellowness) tended to increase. In the texture profile analysis, string cheese prepared with barley sprout powder showed higher values of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness but lower value of cohesiveness. The string cheese prepared with barley sprout powder also showed higher values for total amino acids and stretchability. Total polyphenol contents of string cheese showed the highest value when barley sprout powder was 2%. Therefore, addition of barley sprout powder to string cheese can be valuable for improving quality of string cheese.

This study was performed to set a limitation rule to the UV sterilization process for green vegetable juice containing barley sprouts. The main constituents of the green vegetable juice, viz. barley sprouts, organic Angelica keiskei, carrots, organic dandelion, kale, wild parsley, Angelica keiskei and cabbage, were provided by the CSJ company located in Jincheon, Chungbuk, from December 1st, 2015 to March 1st, 2016. Our manufacturing process followed the general manufacturing process of a general green vegetable juice manufacturer. Table 1 shows the mixing ratio for the green vegetable juice. This green vegetable juice includes 18% vegetable sprouts, 3% barley sprouts, 18% angelica utilis makino, 1% orange concentrate, 4% apple concentrate, 6% fructooligosaccharide, 10% vegetable fermentation juice, 0.4% lemon concentrate and 39.6% purified water. We conducted UV sterilization at levels 10, 8 and 5 with powers of 230W, 320W and 320W, respectively. The UV sterilization was conducted twice at 25Hz and then once at 40Hz. In the bacterial tests after sterilization, the number of bacteria in the dandelions decreased from $2.56{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ to $5.96{\times}10^3CFU/mL$. In addition, no food poisoning or coliform bacteria were detected. Thus, this study provides the information required for setting a limitation rule using bacteria tests in the UV sterilization process for green vegetable juice.

Barley (Hardeum vulgare L.) sprout has received much attention in recent years as a functional food in many countries, especially in Korea and Japan. It has been reported that barley sprouts are comprised of 52.6% polysaccharides, 34.1% proteins, and 4.97% fats, along with a variety of vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols. The purpose of this study was to assess the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the ethanol extracts of barley sprouts. We examined the inhibitory effect of barley sprout extracts (BSE) on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, and nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) and cytokine production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells. BSE contains high amounts of phenolics and flavonoids and exhibits potent anti-oxidative activity, as depicted by the DPPH radical-scavenging experiment. The concentration of total phenols was 17.55 μg/ml, and flavonoids, 13.98 μg/ml. We also investigated the anti-inflammatory activities of BSE in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and PGE₂ production, which had increased as a result of treatment with LPS, were significantly inhibited by BSE in a dose-dependent manner. BSE also significantly suppressed LPS-induced production of NO, and this was accompanied by a decrease in the expression of the iNOS and COX-2 proteins. These results indicate that barley sprouts may be a highly valuable natural product owing to its high-quality functional components as well as its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

To evaluate the effect of dried barley sprout powder on muffins, muffins were made after they had been supplemented with barley sprout powder (0, 10, 20 and 30%(all w/w)). The moisture content, crude protein and crude lipid were reduced with an increase in barley sprout powder. The content of crude ash and crude fiber in the control group was significantly lower than those of the samples with barley sprout powder. The pH in the sample with barley sprout powder was lower than that of the control group. The highest specific gravity in the group with 30% of barley sprout powder was 0.84. No significant weight and baking loss rate changes were observed. The sample with no barley sprout powder showed the highest volume. The sample with 30% of barley sprout powder showed the highest uniformity. In color, the L-value and a-value of the control group were significantly higher than those of the other groups. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness of the control group showed the lowest value rather than the other groups. Springness and cohesiveness of the control group were significantly higher than those of the other groups. Crumb color, grass odor and bitter taste showed significant difference among groups. Acceptance of appearance, flavor, taste and total acceptability of groups with 10% and 20% of barley sprout powder did not show any significant difference when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, less than 20% of barley sprout powder would be proper to make muffins.

Saponarin found in young barley sprouts has a variety of beneficial biological and pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective activities. Our previous work demonstrated that saponarin content was correlated with the expression levels of three biosynthetic pathway genes [chalcone synthase (HvCHS1), chalcone isomerase (HvCHI), and UDP-Glc:isovitexin 7-O-glucosyltransferase (HvOGT1)] in young barley seedlings under various abiotic stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the saponarin content and expression levels of three saponarin biosynthetic pathway genes in hulled and hulless domestic barley cultivars. In the early developmental stages, some hulled barley cultivars (Kunalbori1 and Heukdahyang) had much higher saponarin contents than did the hulless barley cultivars. An RNA expression analysis showed that in most barley cultivars, decreased saponarin content correlated with reduced expression of HvCHS1 and HvCHI, but not HvOGT1. Heat map analysis revealed both specific increases in HvCHS1 expression in certain hulled and hulless barley cultivars, as well as general changes that occurred during the different developmental stages of each barley cultivar. In summary, our results provide a molecular genetic basis for the metabolic engineering of barley plants to enhance their saponarin content.

This study was conducted to determine effects of and a proper level of barley malt sprouts(BMS) addition as well as to develop an effective fermentation method when broiler litter(BL) was ensiled or deepstacked with 0 to 10% levels of BMS. Mixtures were ensiled or deepstacked for one month and physico-chemical analyses were made between before and after treatments. Addition of BMS up to 10% enhanced nutritional quality of either of ensiled or deepstacked BL mixtures. Especially, the quantity and quality of protein were improved with the addition of BMS to BL. However, the still high pH values after ensiling of various mixtures indicated that anaerobic fermentation did not effectively occur with the addition of up to 10% of BMS to BL and consideration of fermentation aids appeared to be necessary. For deepstacking, addition of BMS to BL increased internal peak temperature(from 56 to $70^{\circ}C$) of the stack, indicating that the added BMS to BL stimulated the degradative activity of fermentative microorganisms. The deepstacking method was more effective than the ensiling method for the manufacture of hygienical fred mixture with BL and BMS.
