Azorubine is a synthetic tar color containing azo-bond in the molecular structure. This food colorant has been allowed to be used for beverages, cheese and dried fruits in the European Union and for some food in Australia. Even though it is applicable as a food color in many countries, this compound has not been permitted in Korea so far as a food additive. Thus, this study was performed to establish an analysis method for azorubine in Korea by comparison of three HPLC analysis methods for azorubine and other azo-compounds which are officially used in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA, EU), the Food Standard Agency (FSA, England) and the National Institute of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation (NIFDS, Korea). The analysis method of the FSA for azorubine showed the best linearity ($r^2=0.999$), limit of detection (LOD, $0.07{\mu}g/mL$), limit of quantification (LOQ, $0.20{\mu}g/mL$), precision (0~0.5%) and accuracy (98.6~100.7%) among tested HPLC methods using a C-18 column and diode array detector (DAD) with ammonium acetate solution and acetonitrile as an eluent solution. Finally selected method of FSA was further verified by inter-day and intra-day experiments with linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision and accuracy. Recovery test showed the recover ratios of 97~103%, 95~101%, and 93~102% in beverages, breads/snacks and other foods, respectively. Inter-laboratory test represented the absolute value of z-score of less than 2 which means satisfactory levels in this test. Selected method of FSA showed reliable analytical results in application test using food samples collected in commercial markets in Europe.

Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are consumed as an important dietary source of provitamin A including $\beta$-carotene, $\alpha$-carotene and lutein. An HPLC method was applied to determine the content of the carotenoid composition in carrot cutivars cultivated in Korea. HPLC analyses were carried out with five carrot cultivars (Socheon-5-chon, Hongsim-5-chon, Myeongju-5-chon, Seonhongbom-5-chon and Betarich) sown at April, 2007 and six cultivars (Yeoreum-5-chon, Hanyeoreum-5-chon, Sinheukjeon-5-chon, Bibariheukjeon, Manina and Betarich) sown at August of the same year. In general, the former varieties are not used for the sowing at summer because of their bolting (growth of floral axis). The former and the latter carrots were harvested after 110 and 96 days from seeding, respectively, and the carotenoids were extracted with acetone after freeze-drying. The amount of $\alpha$-carotene ($117.7{\sim}205.3\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) was similar to that of $\beta$-carotene ($113.1{\sim}189.6\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) for the carrot cultivars sown at spring, while the content ($46.2{\sim}71.1\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) was about a half of $\beta$-carotene content ($92.5{\sim}140.2\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) for the latter cultivars. In addition, the average content of lutein ($25.2\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) in the former cultivars was eight times higher than that in the latter cultivars ($3.1\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$). Among the spring cultivation types, Socheon-5-chon and Myeongju-5-chon showed higher amount of $\alpha$-carotene and $\beta$-carotene, while the higher amount was determined in Yeoreum-5-chon and Sinheukjeon-5-chon among the autumn cultivation types. Validation of the HPLC-DAD method showed good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.997) of the three compounds analyzed in a wide concentration range ($0.025{\sim}20\;{\mu}g/ml$). The R.S.D. values for intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 19.2% and the mean recovery of each compound was 85.4~104.7%.

The method for residue analysis of four sulfonylurea pesticides, rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl and chlorimuron-ethyl was examined and analyzed by HPLC with ODS column ($250\;mm{\times}4.6\;mm$, $5\;{\mu}m$ diameter particle size) which was maintained at $35^{\circ}C$. Mobile phase consisted of solvent A (20 mM $KH_2PO_4$, pH 2.5) and solvent B (acetonitrile). Isocratic elution of the column with 45% solvent A and 55% solvent B at a flow rate of 1 mL/min resulted in retention times of 5.92, 6.54, 9.28, and 14.35 min for rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, and chlorimuron-ethyl, respectively. All injection volumes were $20\;{\mu}L$. The limit of quantitation was 0.02, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.004 mg/kg for rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, and chlorimuron-ethyl, respectively. Recovery rate test was performed with three farm products, rice, apple and soybean. Four sulfonylurea pesticides were spiked at concentrations of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg. The recovery rates were ranged from 86.12% to 116.26% and the standard deviations of all experiments were within 10%.

The purpose of the study was to determine a method to use fresh white Korean ginseng in the form of higher intake of medicinal components. Decoction was made at $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ in different intervals of time. HPLC (DAD) system was employed to monitor the ginsenosides content in the decoctions and the components were identified by comparing the retention time with that of reference compounds. However, decoction made at $70^{\circ}C$ in 72 hrs possessed higher amount of total ginsenosides ($209.6{\mu}g/mL$) content where considerable amount of bioactive ginsenosides like Rg3, Rb2, Rb1 and Rg1 were accumulated. Overall, it can be concluded that the fresh white Korean ginseng decoction made in 72 hrs at $70^{\circ}C$ would be useful for the health and other medicinal approach of ginseng.

Insampaedok-san is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of colds. We investigated several compounds in Insampeadok-san, and tested their neuroprotective and anti-oxidative activities after fermentation with Lactobacillus. The amounts of four marker compounds (ferulic acid, hesperidin, 6-gingerol and glycyrrhizin) and unidentified compounds in Insampaedok-san (IS) and fermented Insampaedok-san (FIS) were measured and compared by an established HPLC-DAD method. Neuroprotective activity of IS and FIS extracts was evaluated and compared after glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in HT22 cells. Anti-oxidative activity of IS and FIS was also compared in DPPH free radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity assays. Contents of two compounds, ferulic acid and glycyrrhizin were decreased while 6-gingerol was increased by fermentation. FIS showed more potent neuroprotective activity than IS. DPPH, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging was slightly increased by FIS when compared to IS. In conclusion, fermentation with Lactobacillus can vary the amounts of the marker compounds in IS and improve neuroprotective and anti-oxidative activities of IS.
