This study was conducted to analyze the contents in the dietary fiber and amino acid compositions of 23 vegetables and 6 fruits and to identify the current contents. We generated data on the contents of total, insoluble and soluble dietary fiber (TDF, IDF and SDF), respectively. The TDF and IDF contents were lowest (0.56 g/100 g and 0.44 g/100 g) in wild garlic and highest (5.87 g/100 g and 5.66 g/100 g) in perilla leaves. A total of 18 kinds of amino acids were found in most samples. Essential and non-essential amino acid contents ranged from 53.16-2107.54 mg/100 g and 191.66-2892.28 mg/100 g, respectively. The highest essential and non-essential amino acid content was hot pepper leaves followed by perilla leaves and aralia. They had higher contents of both TDF and amino acids. The results of the study can serve as a fundamental source of information in DF and amino acids for diet planning.

Germinated barley, instead of glutinous rice, was used to make health-enhancing fermented red pepper paste. The proximate components of commercial glutinous rice red pepper paste (CGRPP) and germinated barley red pepper paste (GBRPP) were analyzed during fermentation. The sensory characteristics and ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid (GABA) contents of CGRPP and GBRPP were evaluated. The contents of ${\beta}$-glucan and GABA showed the highest value after 48 hrs of germination. During the fermentation, the contents of GABA in GBRPP increased up to 28 days and then decreased. During sensory evaluation, the consumer liked the GBRPP more than CGRPP. The GABA contents were increased during fermentation and GABA contents of GBRPP were twice as much as that of CGRPP. These results suggest that the GBRPP can have consumer acceptance for its health benefits and taste and can therefore become commercialized.

Black jujube was made by aging dried jujube and its physiochemical characteristics, antioxidant activities and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated. The moisture and sugar contents were increased depending on the period of aging times and the pH was reduced thereby increasing acidity. The color of black jujube extract was changed from red to black resulting in decreases of Hunter color values L, a and b. As the aging progressed, sucrose was decomposed by increasing glucose and fructose, indicating higher contents of the total reducing sugars. Among the six different types of organic acids extracted from dried jujube, the levels of oxalic acid and citric acid were increased as the aging progressed. The total polyphenol contents in ethanol and water extracts of dried jujube were 7.74 and 8.12 mg/g, respectively. The water extract of black jujube aged for 48 hr contained the highest polyphenol contents at 16.82 mg/g. The 5'-hydroxymethylfurfural (5'-HMF) contents of black jujube extract significantly increased by longer aging times, and contained higher contents in the ethanol extract than water extract. The ethanol extract of black jujube showed the highest 5'-HMF content with 338.89 mg% after aging for 3 days. Also, $IC_{50}$ values of black jujube aged for 72 hr evaluated by DPPH and ABTS radical assays were 0.54 and 0.59 mg/mL, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibitory activities of black jujube at the concentration of 3.33 mg/mL (ethanol extract) increased from 65 to 80 % after aging for 72 hr.

This study was designed to determine the trans fatty acid (tF A) contents of 41 take-out food items in Daejeon and Chungcheong Province. Total fatty acid composition and tFA contents of samples were determined by gas chromatography (GC) after fat extraction (Folch method). Maximum fat content among the observed samples was obtained from theater popcorn (13.74${/cdot}$38.09%) while minimum content was observed from the glutinous rice doughnut. 31${/cdot}$5.44%). The contents of tFA (g/100 g food) in toasts, glutinous rice doughnut and ggwabaegi (twisted doughnut sold in streets) ranged from 0.02 to 0.56 g while those in fried sweet potatostick (from highway resting place), fried squid and theater popcorn ranged from 0.05 to 3.08 g/100 g. As a result, most samples showed the tFA content as less than 1 g (g/100 g food) except one sample from theater popcorn which contained 3.08 g (g/100 g food) as tFA content.

This study was performed to examine the physicochemical and antioxidative properties of the sponge cakes with different contents (0, 2, 4, 6, 8%, w/w) of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) powder (LBP). An increase in LBP content in the cake led to a significant increase in the baking loss rate, specific volume, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, total phenol contents and total flavonoid contents of the cakes (p<0.05). As the LBP content increased, significant decreases were shown in the specific gravity of batter, sugar contents, pH, lightness, redness and yellowness of the cakes (p<0.05). Ash contents, uniformity index and other textural properties of hardness, springness, cohesiveness, and brittleness did not show any significant differences between the sample groups (p>0.05). These results suggest that LBP can be applied to sponge cakes to achieve positive textural properties such as uniform pore formation and increased volume with increased antioxidant properties.

Purpose: This study examined the food composition of four raw and boiled domestic potato cultivars: Superior, Dejima, Bora Valley and Rose. Methods: Proximate composition (moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber and fat), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, sodium and magnesium) and vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin and niacin) were analyzed in the study. Results: In this study, it was observed that the moisture contents of raw and boiled Bora Valley potato were 83.74 g/100 g and 81.57 g/100 g, respectively, which was highest among the studied cultivars. The protein content of the raw and boiled Rose potato (12.23 g/100 g and 11.02 g/100 g) was higher than that of the other cultivars. Protein contents of boiled Bora Valley and Rose potatoes were significantly lower than those of their respective raw samples. The potassium, phosphorus and sodium contents of Bora Valley potato were 2,397.69 mg/100 g, 389.13 mg/100 g and 14.12 mg/100 g, respectively. In case of raw potato, the calcium, iron and magnesium contents of Dejima potato were 51.52 mg/100 g, 3.21 mg/100 g and 137.62 mg/100 g, respectively, which were the highest values among the tested potato cultivars. Total dietary fiber content of Dejima potato was 14.78 g/100 g, which was the highest level. The dietary fiber contents of four cultivars of potatoes were lower after boiling. Thiamine content was highest in the Bora Valley potato (0.43 mg/100 g). Riboflavin contents of the Rose potato was 0.35 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of the others. Conclusion: Overall, four cultivars of raw and boiled potatoes had enhanced food composition. Therefore, these potato cultivars are expected to be highly valuable food items for the development and application of functional foods.

Effect of the ingestion of porphyran extracted from Porphyra yezoensis on calcium, magnesium and potassium contents in serum and tissue was investigated using hyperlipidemic and hypercholesterolemic rats. The contents of calcium magnesium and potassium in serum of rats fed porphyran for four weeks were higher than those of the control group. The contents of calcium and potassium were decreased with increasing a porphyran level while magnesium content was increased. Liver calcium contents in an $1\%$ porphyran group were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those in the control group, and magnesium contents in a $10\%$ porphyran group were higher than those in the control group. Kidney calcium and magnesium contents in rats fed porphyran were significantly (p<0.05) high compared with the control group. However, potassium content in kidney was Increased as a porphyran level was increased in diet. Spleen calcium and potassium contents were significantly lower in the porphyran groups than those in the control group. Rats fed the $5\%$ porphyran diet had higher magnesium content in spleen than any other diets. The results showed that diets supplemented with several porphyran levels had variable effects on the contents of calcium, magnesium and potassium in serum and tissue of hyperlipidemic rats.
