This study investigated the antioxidant activity of functional beverage concentrates containing herbal medicine extracts (FBCH) using various antioxidant assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and reducing power assay. The total polyphenolic content of FBCH (81.45 mg/100 g) was higher than Ssanghwa tea (SHT, 37.56 mg/100 g). The antioxidant activities of FBCH showed 52.92% DPPH and 55.18% ABTS radical scavenging activities at 100 mg/mL, respectively. FBCH showed significantly higher antioxidant activities compared to the SHT (DPPH, 23.43%; ABTS, 22.21%; reducing power optical density; 0.23, P<0.05). In addition, intracellular reactive oxygen species generation significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner following FBCH treatment. These results suggest that the addition of herbal medicine extract contributes to the improved functionality of beverage concentrates.

Saengshik beverage products were developed to improve the convenience in consumption, and thereby to expand the Saengshik market. Beverages were prepared from 3 commercial Saengshik products (ES, BS, SS) by mixing with water using a high shear blender. The physicochemical and sensory properties of the Saengshik beverage product were compared. The most acceptable beverage product was made of BS at 7.7% (w/w) level. The apparent viscosity of the beverages increased as the Saengshik levels increased. The beverages at lower Saengshik levels showed dilatant fluid characteristics, while they were Newtonian and pseudoplastic fluids at middle and high Saengshik levels, respectively. The beverage products also showed rheopectic type time-dependency at middle (5.7-9.7%) Saengshik levels, while they were time independent at low and high levels.

As an attempt to develop new functional health beverage by using medicinal herb, green ginger(Zingiber officinale Roscoe), we investigated the effect of Zingiber officinale on blood pressure and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) of rats with Zingiber officinale extracts. Zingiber officinale extract increase rCBF significantly. The drink produced consisted of Zingiber officinale extract 1.825%, maltitol syrup 17.0%, citric aicd 0.06%, ascorbic acid 0.02%, stevioside 0.001%, ginger flavor 0.11% and water. Brix, pH and acidity of product were 13.7, 4.4 and 0.09, respectively. This drink had good score by the sensory evaluation. The above results showed that development of such functional beverage using Zingiber officinale can used as a functional material improving blood circulation in beverage industry.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs) contamination arises from several source including processing of food(smoking, direct drying, cooking) and environmental contamination of air, water or soil. A red ginseng is produced by steaming the root followed by drying. The methodology involved extraction with n-hexane and washing with water, clean-up on Sep-Pak Florisil Cartridges and determination by HPLC/FLD. The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and water in 8:2 by the isocratic elution and the excitation wavelength of fluorescence detector was 294 nm and its emission wavelength was 404 nm. The average recovery was about 105% and the relative standard deviation was 0.5. The levels of benzopyrene in the selected red ginseng beverage samples were not detected.

As an attempt to develop new functional beverages for breakfast, sweet potato based beverages were prepared with hydrolyzed sweet potato, potato, and carrot products (sample : water = 1 : 1), and their chemical and sensory properties were evaluated. The content of reducing sugar and soluble solid of the sweet potato, potato, and carrot increased with enzyme treatment, while their viscosity decreased without significant change of color. The hunter color test showed that the beverages with 10％ carrot content were high in redness leading to a decrease in their acceptability for sensory evaluation. The sensory score of the mixture containing 5％ carrot was good, but beverage with 0％ carrot reduced the sensory properties. The results showed that the final ratio of sweet potato to potato to carrot for the new functional beverage was 5 : 4.5 : 0.5. The pH of the beverage was adjusted to 5.0, 4.5, and 4.0 using an organic acid mixture. In the sensory test of the new functional beverage, the best sensory score(color, taste, smell, and texture) was the mixture of sweet potato : potato : carrot equaling 5 : 4.5 : 0.5 with a pH of 4.5.

To investigate how the beverage consumption of middle school students are different in some respects; favorite kinds, drinking time and so on. 579 middle school students in Jeonju were participated in this study. This study shows the frequency of drinking beverage and the correlation between the frequency and the various factors to have effects on the frequency. The students usually drink water 8.55 times, milk or yogurt 3.01 times, sport beverage 2.13 times, soft drink 1.93 times, and fruit and vegetable juice 1.85 times for one week. The boy students prefer more soft or sport drink to the girl students. However the drinking of other beverages such as water, milk, juice, traditional ones don't have any meaning-ful differences between the boys and the girls. The students drink water mostly when they have meals. And the second consuming beverage is milk at table. It explains the students who drink more milk than water with bread. There is a big difference according to their excercise frequency. The students who excercise regularly or excercise over 3 hours drink more soft or sport drink and milk or yogurt than the students who exercise less than 1 hour. The beverages are firstly needed during the exercise because they sweat. And the second beverage time is when they have snacks and when they take a break. It should be suggested that nutrition education targeted to middle school students and their parents should encourage limited consumption of soft drinks. Therefore, policies that limit students' access to soft drinks at schools should be promoted.
