Functional activities of Lyophyllum ulmarium microwave-assisted extracts under different conditions including electron donating ability, tyrosinase inhibition activity and nitrite scavenging effect were examined. Total polyphenol content increased as increasing microwave power up to 90 W in the water extracts. Electron donating ability increased with microwave power up to 90 W in 50% ethanol extract and 99% ethanol extract. Tyrosinase inhibition activity and nitrite scavenging effect in the extract increased as microwave power increased during extraction. Total polyphenol content increased as extending extraction time up to 5 min in the water extract. But the highest electron donating ability and tyrosinase inhibition activity was obtained after 10 min extraction. Significantly higher total polyphenol content and electron donating ability were found in the water extract whereas greater tyrosinase inhibition activity and nitrite scavenging effect were observed in 99% ethanol extract. The maxium nitrite scavenging effect was found at pH 1.2 and decreased as pH increased.

To develop physiological functionality of Omija extracted with water was evaluated on antioxidative activity. Omija, high acid material with pH 3.6, contain $57.5{\pm}1.03%$ of moisture, and $18.8{\pm}0.12%$ of crude fat. This material have $12.6{\pm}0.04%$ of carbohydrate and $11.1{\pm}0.07%$ of crude protein as well, but ash and crude protein contents were found less than 10%. 10 mineral contents were also found, too; K and Ca showed the highest level, then Al, Mg, Na and Mn were followed. In composition amino acid contents, glutamic acid took the largest portion, $131.7{\pm}1.3$ mg/100 g, aspartic acid $51.5{\pm}0.6%$, and other composition amino acid under 50%. In case of free sugar contents, 7 types were found. Most of them were glucose and fructose. Total phenolic compounds showed the highest level, $2,862.6{\pm}31.7$ mg/100 g. $197.8{\pm}14.6$ mg/100 g of flavonoid and $225.6{\pm}18.2$ mg/100 g were included. In terms of electron donating ability, radical scavenging ability activated as the amount of Omija extract increased. In particular, Omija extract in 1,000 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ demonstrated almost similar electron donating ability, $72.4{\pm}0.21%$, to BHT. It was also found that antioxidant activities of electron donating ability, SOD-like ability, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability and nitrite scavenging ability were highly promoted as Omija extract concentration increased. The nitrite scavenging ability was significant when the extract belonged to strong acid region and doping concentrations increased.

Methanol, ether, ethylacetate and water extracts from flesh and peel of yuna (Citrus junos) were investigated to analyze their ability of electron donating, nitrite scavenging and nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation in model system. The electron donating ability of ynza flesh extract, when it added at 10 mg/ml or over, were more an $50\%$, except ether extract. The high electron donating ability ($99.2{\pm}0.37\%$) was observed in the methanol extract and its effect was similar to BHA and ascorbic acid, when 40 mg/ml of methanol extract was added in reaction solution. Nitrite scavenging ability of all extracts ken yuza was increased in proportion to sample concentration and more than $40\%$ when 1 mg/ml sample was added, under pH 1.2. Also nitrite scavenging ability was higher in peel extracts than flesh extracts of yuza. Inhibition ratio of NDMA formation from flesh methanol extract of yuza was $31.7{\pm}1.25\%$, when 40 mg/ml added under pH 1.2. In all samples, inhibition effects were lower than $20\%$, at pH 4.2 and 6.0.

This study was conducted to investigate functional properties of 70% acetone extract in different parts of two potato varieties. 'Superior' and 'Atlantic' potato were processed by following method. Potatoes are washed, peeled, sliced and steamed before hot air drying for flesh and peel powder. Hunter's L and b values of flesh powder from blanched 'Superior' potato were higher than flesh powder from fresh 'Superior' potato. Discoloration of 'Superior' potato was inhibited by steam blanching. Contents of total polyphenol and chlorogenic acid in the 70% acetone extract of 'Superior' potato were higher than those of 'Atlantic' potato paticularly in the blanched flesh and peel. But flavonoid was not detected in flesh extract. The phenolic concentration was not decreased by the heat treatment. The nitritescavenging and electron donating ability was greatest at the tuber peel including the skin and cortex tissue 1mm beneath the skin. From the above results browning reaction and polyphenol contents in different parts of potato slices were dependent on cutivars. Peels contained more polyphenols than those from the flesh. The results indicate that potato peel extract of steam blanched plus hot air dried potato tuber showed the effectiveness as a natural nitrite scavenger and antioxidant.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant properties of unripened apple extracts. The amount of total flavonoids in the peel and 5/30 samples were 2.7times and 5.0 times higher than the flesh and 6/30 samples, respectively. The degree of angintensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity in hot water extracts was higher than the other extracts. In the 5/30 sample, a $0.1\%$ concentration of unripened apple powder showed almost the same electron-donating ability with a $0.5\%$ concentration of the 6/30 sample. More than $90\%$ of the electron-donating ability was observed from the peel extracts regardless of solvents used for extraction. The nitrite-scavenging effects of acetone and methanol extracts of the 5/30 sample were the strongest at pH 1.2, and especially the $80\%$ methanol extracts exhibited a powerful scavenging effect of more than $90\%$ at pH 3.0.
