We conducted two experiments to evaluate effects of feeding various types of red ginseng marc and Houttuynia cordata (H.cordata) on blood profiles of poultry in a completely randomized design. In experiment 1 (28 d), a total of 240 broilers (Arbor acres) were used. Four dietary treatments (15 broilers per pen with four replicate pens per treatment) were included: (1) control, (2) 2% red ginseng marc, (3) 1% fermented red ginseng marc with red koji, and (4) 2% liquid red ginseng. There were no significant differences in HDL and LDL-cholestrol among treatments (P > 0.05), but total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased in diets supplemented with red ginseng marc and 1% fermented red ginseng marc with red koji compared to that in the control treatment (P < 0.05). In experiment 2 (38 d), a total of 240 Pekin ducks were randomly divided into 4 groups by dietary treatments (control, 1% fermented H. cordata powder with red koji, 1% fermented H. cordata pelleted with red koji, and 1% fermented H. cordata coated with red koji) with 4 replicates of 15 ducks in each group. Total cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol were not affected by diet with various types of H. cordata. However, increase in HDL-cholesterol and decrease in LDL and VLDL-cholesterol were greater in treatments with different types of H. cordata than in the control treatments (P < 0.05). In conclusion, using various types of red ginseng marc and H. cordata in poultry diets was effective for increasing HDL-cholesterol and decreasing total, LDL, and VLDL-cholestrol or triglyceride.

Antimicrobial activities, extraction yields and chemical compositions of the extracts from the powder of vacuum dried Houttuynia cordata root on various solvents were investigated. Antimicrobial activity was investigated by disc diffusion method against several microorganisms, nine species of Gram positive and thirteen Gram negative bacteria. Ethanol, ethylacetate and butanol extracts exhibited potent antimicrobial activities against B. megaterium C. xerosis, S. aureus, S. epidermidis and E.coli. Chloroform and aqueous extracts from H. cordata showed weak antimicrobial activity against the tested bacteria. Ethylacetate and butanol extracts exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. The extraction yields were 15.7%, 3.7%, 0.13%, 0.5% and 5.9% in ethanol, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fractions, respectively. To further elucidate the effective components, solvent extracts was analyzed by GC/MSD.

Houttuynia cordata Thunb powder (0.05 g) was placed in a stainless vessel containing 10 mL of water, and subcritical water (SCW) extraction was carried out at various temperatures (50, 100, 200, and $300^{\circ}C$) for 10, 30, and 60 min. SCW treatment significantly affected physiologically important compounds, antioxidant activity, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of H. cordata Thunb extracts. H. cordata Thunb extracted at $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 min had the highest quercetin content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, whereas the extract at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min possessed the highest flavonoid content. The highest ABTS radical scavenging activity was found in H. cordata Thunb extracted at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. These results indicate that SCW extraction might be a useful processing method for obtaining valuable materials from H. cordata Thunb.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of bread containing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder (HTP; in ratios of 0, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0% of the total flour). We found that addition of HTP decreased the pH of dough, whereas the pH of bread remained unchanged. HTP caused no significant change in dough volume during fermentation. Baking loss did not show significant difference between HTP containing bread and control. However, we found changes in bread volume with the most pronounced decrease observed in bread containing 0.1% HTP. Lightness and redness of the inner crumb were decreased by the addition of HTP, whereas yellowness was increased. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents were increased significantly by the addition of HTP. The overall acceptability of bread containing 0.5% HTP was better than that of control.

Cheongkukjang was prepared by addition of medicinal herb powder (from Lentinus edodes, Codonopsis lanceolata BENTH et HOOK, or Houttuynia cordata THUNB) to improve Cheongkukjang quality and functional properties. Redness and yellowness (measured using Hunter’s color values) increased with increasing amounts of medicinal herb powder, whereas lightness (the third Hunter's color value) and pH decreased. Crude protein and lipid levels of Cheongkukjang decreased with increasing amounts of added medicinal herb powder, whereas powder addition did not affect either the moisture or crude ash content of Cheongkukjang. The major organic acids of Cheongkukjang were lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, and citric acid, and acid levels increased as the proportion of medicinal herb powder in the Cheongkukjang preparation increased. The major amino acids of Cheongkukjang were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, arginine, and lysine and the principal fatty acids were linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid. Addition of medicinal herb powder to Cheongkukjang increased both crude saponin and quercetin contents. Sensory scores of Cheongkukjang containing 2% (w/v) medicinal herb powder were optimal in terms of both quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of feeding eosungcho (Houttuynia cordata Thunb) powder on the meat quality of porks at chilled storage. Experimental groups were divided into control group (0%, C), 5% (T1) and 10% (T2) eosungcho powder feeding group, and then administered for 12 weeks. The results of sensory evaluation for softening value and scorched smell showed the highest preference in T1 group. Overall acceptability was also the highest in T1 group than the others. Physicochemical components were analyzed for pork loins that were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 23 days after vacuum packing. The moisture contents of pork loins were higher in T1 group than the others. Crude lipid contents were lower in T1 and T2 groups than the control group. The pH values were not significantly different in experimental groups during storage days. The Hunt L and a values increased significantly according to storage days. The Hunt b value was increased for the initial storage days but it did not change after 9 storage days. The Warmer-Bratzler share force of all experimental groups were greatly decreased between 2 and 9 storage days and then little exchanged afterwards.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of Eosungcho (Houttuynia cordata Thunb) mixture on the plasma lipids of pigs. Experimental groups were divided into 3 groups: control group(0%), 5% and 10% Eosungcho feeding groups. Plasma concentration of total cholesterol, atherosclerotic index, free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester were significantly lower in the Eosungcho powder 5% and 10% feeding groups than control group. Plasma contents of HDL-cholesterol, cholesteryl ester ratio, triglyceride and phospholipid were significantly different between 10% Eosungcho feeding group and control group. Plasma concentration of LDL-cholesterol was significantly love in 10% Eosungcho feeding group($76.5{\pm}5.4mg/dL$) than in control group($86.5{\pm}5.6mg/dL$). Plasma concentration of VLDL and chylomicron were showed similar tendency to LDL-cholesterol. Also, blood sugar, GOT and GPT concentration were significantly lower in 10% Eosungcho feeding group than in control group. In control group, the ratio of saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acid was 58.1 : 51.9, but in 5% and 10% Eosungcho feeding groups, those were 42.1 : 57.9 and 41.0 : 59.0, respectively. The component of main fatty acid was different between control group and Eosungcho feeding groups. In Eosungcho feeding groups, main unsaturated fatty acids were oleic acid(18:1) and linoleic acid(18:2). From the results, addition of Eosungcho powder might be effective in improving the plasma lipid components in pigs.
