In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of hot water extracts of Codonopsis lanceolata root skin (RS) and root flesh (RF) subjected to different heat treatments were analyzed to determine whether C. lanceolata RS can be used as a tea material. C. lanceolata RS and RF were roasted, hot-air dried (HDS and HDF, respectively), or steamed and hot-air dried (SHDS and SHDF, respectively). The heat-treated samples were extracted with hot water ($90^{\circ}C$) for 90 min. The hot water extracts of RS and RF had lower L-values and higher b-values than the other samples. The RS extracts had significantly higher polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activities than RF samples. In the sensory evaluation, the color acceptability of the teas made from CS, HDS, and SHDS were found to be significantly different from those of the teas made from their respective flesh samples. The results suggest that the hot water extract of the C. lanceolata RS can be utilized as a tea material.

For producing single cell protein from the agricultural waste, heat treatment and antibiotics on the growth of Cellulomonas sp. KL-6, isolated in rotting leaf and the adjacent soil mixture, were examined. The organism was able to grow until 5 min. at $65^{\circ}C$, 1 min. at $75^{\circ}C$ and 1/4 min. at $85^{\circ}C$ in gradually rising temperatures. It can be Seen that preheating the suspension at $48^{\circ}C$ results in a marked decrease in heat resistance. On heating at temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ for 30 min., strain KL-6 was more resisted in the 0.1 M phosphate buffer when such substrates as casamino acid (1%), yeast extract (1%) or xylose (5%) were added to it whereas this organism was appeared weaker resistances in 0.1 M phosphate buffer when cysteine (0.03 M), sodium citrate (1%) or casein (1%) were in fused into it. Test strain was susceptible to penicillin-G $(1.563\;{\mu}g/ml)$ and ampicillin $(3.125\;{\mu}g/ml)$, but the organism was resisted to kanamycin $(>200\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The treatment of strain KL-6 with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) resulted in the elimination of R-plasmid from the host strain and the elimination rate with SDS $(10{\sim}30\;{\mu}g/ml)$ was about $9.2{\sim}31.2%$, respectively.

In order to preserve the freshness of vegetables and to reduce the rate of decay, grapefruit seed extract (GFSE), a natural microorganism growth inhibiting agent, was applied during the preservation process of heat treated carrot and spinach. To investigate synergic effect of heat and GFSE treatment, carrots and spinaches were treated with or without 10 ppm of GFSE at $70^{\circ}C$. Surface color, texture and microbial counts of the samples were measured during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. GFSE showed an effective inhibitory activity against aerobic bacteria and yeast which might be involved in the decay of vegetables. Heat treatment at 2 min at $70^{\circ}C$ could also well preserve the color and texture of the vegetables. From the results, optimal concentrations of GFSE were 10 ppm and 50 ppm with heat treatment of 2 min $70^{\circ}C$ for the growth inhibitory effect to aerobic bacteria and yeast and preservation of color and texture.

Treatments of irradiation alone and/or in combination with heat were investigated for the sterilization of Escherichia coli O157: H7. D values of the strain were 129.2 min at $50^{\circ}C$, 27.1 min at $55^{\circ}C$, and 2.4 min at $60^{\circ}C$. The survival effect of E. coli O157:H7 during heating at various media was investigated. On heating at temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, the strain was generally more resistant in the media containg such chemical substrates such as 0.03 M cysteine, 1% sodium citrate or 5% sucrose, whereas this strain was appeared weaker in the chemical substrates added group such as 1% meat extract, 1% casein or 1% casamino acid. In the case of irradiation alone, $D_{10}$ value of E. coli O157:H7 was 0.116 kGy, and inactivation factors were $17{\sim}25$ at doses of 2 to 3 kGy. Pre-and post-irradiation heating showed the same $D_{10}$ value about 0.07 kGy. And Inactivation factors were $25{\sim}41$ at doses of 2 to 3 kGy. Therefore, combination treatment with heat and irradiation significantly increased in inactivation rate by increasing radiation sensitivity of E. coli O157:H7.

In the course of study for development of functional food ingredients from aged black garlic (ABG), heat-treated ripe bulbs of Allium sativum L., the water extracts from raw-garlic (RG) and ABG, and the subsequent organic solvent fractions of ABG were prepared, and their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antithrombosis activities were compared. The extraction yield of ABG was 4-folds higher than that of RG, and the contents of total polyphenol, total flavonoid, total sugar and reducing sugar in the ABG extract were 4-folds, 1.56-folds, 3.36-folds and 6.75-folds higher than those of the RG extract, respectively. In antioxidation activity assay, the extract of ABG showed minor scavenging activity against DPPH anion, but revealed strong scavenging activity against ABTS cation and nitrite. Especially, the ethylacetate fraction from the ABG extract demonstrated stronger antioxidation activity than the RG extract and other fractions. Although the antimicrobial and antithrombosis activities of the RG extract did not appear in the ABG extract, the ethylacetate fraction from the ABG extract had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and strong antithrombosis activity via the inhibition of prothrombin, blood coagulation factors and platelet aggregation. All extracts and fractions did not show any hemolytic activity against human red blood cells up to 5 mg/ml. Our results suggest that the ethylacetate fraction of ABG could be applicable to the development of functional food ingredients for antithrombosis agents.

To simplify the different biological investigation of the methanolic extract and solvent-solvent partitioning of Lablab purpures (L. purpures) bark. In-vitro anti-oxidant study was determined using total DPPH radical scavenging assay. In vitro antimicrobial study was measured by observing zone of inhibition. The cytotoxic activity was studied using brine shrimp lethality bioassay and thrombolytic activity by clot disruption method. The antioxidant potential was evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Folin-Ciocalteau reagents using butylated hydroxytolune (BHT) and ascorbic acid as standards. The Aqueous soluble fraction revealed the highest free radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}=48.76{\mu}g/mL$). The antimicrobial screening of the bark of L. purpures exhibited mild to moderate activity in test microorganisms. The CSF showed the maximum relative percentage inhibition against Salmonella parathyphi (34.2%) for bacteria and C. albicans (28.8%) for fungi whereas, lowest relative percentage inhibition against Sarcina lutea (22.0%) for bacteria and Aspergillus niger (24.4%) for fungi. In the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, The $LC_{50}$ values of Carbon tetrachloride and N-Hexane soluble fraction were found $92.18{\mu}g/mL$, and $68.95{\mu}g/mL$ respectively while the $LC_{50}$ values of standard Vincristine sulphate was $1.37{\mu}g/mL$. The methanolic extract and its organic soluble fractions of Lablab purpureus at concentration 2.0 mg/mL, significantly protected the lysis of erythrocyte membrane induced by hypotonic solution and heat as compared to the standard, acetyl salicylic acid (0.10 mg/mL). The MSF and AQSF produced 61.48 % and 53.75% inhibition of hemolysis of RBC caused by hypotonic solution respectively, whereas acetyl salicylic acid (0.10 mg/mL) showed 76.42%. Ethanol extract of L. purpures and all of its different partitions exhibited moderate thrombolytic activity of 37.25%-2.40%. Very good preliminary screening and simplified experiments were able to show the different biological activity of methanolic extract and its soluble fractions of L. purpures at a time.

Growth and DNA synthesis inhibitory effects of extracts from root bark of Ulmus parvifolia on MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells, HT-29 human colon cancer cells and K-562 leukemia cancer cells were studied. The root bark extract of Ulmus parvifolia was extracted with methanol, hot water and juice. The methanol extract showed the highest inhibitory effect on growth of MG-63, HT-29 and K-562 cancer cells by >85%. The treatment of hot water and juice extracts from root bark of Ulmus parvifolia also inhibited growth of the above cancer cells with increasing concentration. DNA synthesis of MG-63 and HT-29 cancer cells was significantly inhibited by adding methanol, hot water and juice extracts from root bark of Ulmus parvifolia with increasing concentration, showing that the inhibitory effect of growth was more effective on HT-29 cancer cells. These results suggest that the methanol extract from root bark of Ulmus parvifolia may have specific active com-pounds on anticancer effect. The hot water extract also showed a strong inhibitory effect on growth of cancer cells, indicating that the active compounds may be stable to heat.
