The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of marination with mixed salt (NaCl, $CaCl_2$, and phosphate) and kiwi juice and of different cooking methods for pork loin-based products in order to establish the basic database for increasing the consumption of pork loin in Korea. Diced chilled pork loin ($2{\times}2{\times}2\;cm$) was marinated in 4 different treatments: no additives (T1), salt mix only (T2), kiwi juice only (T3), and salt mix+kiwi juice (T4). The mixed salt was prepared by the addition of NaCl, $CaCl_2$, and phosphate dissolved in water (10% of pork loin weight) at concentrations of 0.5, 0.5, and 0.3% per pork loin weight, respectively. The amount of kiwi juice was 10% of pork loin weight. After marination for 24 hrs at $4^{\circ}C$, the samples were cooked with different methods including roasting with Kimchi, pan broiling, and simmering. After simmering, pH of pork loin of T1 and T2 was higher than that of T3 and T4 (p<0.05), while that of roasted with Kimchi and pan broiled did not show any difference. Water holding capacity of T4 after pan broiling was higher than that of T1, T2, and T3 (p<0.001) and shear force of T4 was lower than other treatments. Also flavor and acceptability of T4 after pan broiling were scored higher by 11 sensory panelists (p<0.05). From this result, the pork loin-based products marinated with mixed salt and kiwi juice with pan broiling would be preferred by consumers as one of the methods to promote the consumption of pork loin in Korea.

A protease, actinidin, was isolated from Cheju kiwi fruit Actinidia chinesis. The enzyme was purified about 8.5 fold with the yield of 25% by column chromatographies of DEAE-Toyopearl and Sphadex. G-100. Purified enzyme gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight estimated by SDS-PAGE was about 27, 000. The optimum pH and temperature were 7.0 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. This enzyme was stable at the ranges of pH 5.0~9.0 and below 5$0^{\circ}C$. It was also found that Fe+2, Fe+3, and Na+ ions increased enzyme activity, whereas Hg+2 and Co+2 ions decreased. The enzyme was inhibited by phenylmercuric acetate and leupeptin, which indicated that active center of the emzyme had thiol-group. The enzyme reaction followed the Michaelis-Men-ten dkinetics with the Km value of 0.32 mM for casein.

This study evaluated the in vitro radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of dried daraesoon (shoot of hardy kiwi) during cooking involving rehydration and subsequent heating at $180^{\circ}C$ with or without perilla oil. Pigments and antioxidants were quantified by HPLC and spectrophotometry. Unlike the tocopherol content, the polyphenol, flavonoid, chlorophyll, and carotenoid contents as well as the DPPH radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of daraesoon extract were significantly decreased by rehydration (p<0.05). Heating the rehydrated daraesoon for 10 or 20 min increased its radical scavenging activity irrespective of perilla oil addition, whereas the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity increased significantly only after heating with perilla oil (p<0.05). During cooking, changes in both activities showed a similar pattern to that showed by polyphenol content changes. These results suggest that the health functionality of daraesoon can be enhanced by an appropriate cooking process that retains polyphenols.

A fresh vegetable and fruit juice has become a new healthy food available for detoxification, dieting and health. This paper presents the useful information about the quality changes of fresh juice according to different juicer. Quality of fresh juice could be evaluated by several factors such as juice yield, enzyme activity, antioxidant activity, polyphenol contents, and anti-inflammatory activity. The juice yields of 12 different vegetables and fruits were compared using 6 different juicers and it was observed that the yield of slow juicer was better than that of conventional blender. Among 12 samples, the juice yield of grape is the best and the pH of the juice was in the acidic range of 3 and 4. Kiwi and grapefruit were the best in terms of protease enzyme activities by Hemoglobin units on the tyrosine basis and Spectrophotometric acid protease unit and papain units on the tyrosine basis of KFDA protocols. The total polyphenol contents were also high in kiwi and grapefruit. The antioxidant activity by diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and radical scavenging assay were high in the order of kiwi, grapefruit, grape, tomato, and orange. Anti-inflammatory activities were also assay for 12 samples with 6 juicers. It can be concluded that of fresh fruit and vegetable juice provides a source of antioxidant components and enzymes with high activity. And the enzyme activities could be used as one of the quality indicator of fresh juice. Concerning the juicers used in this study, slow juicer could be recommended to prepare the fresh juice in terms of the juice quality.

Changes in pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, nitrogen compound and mineral of black bean chungkugjang(BBC)added with kiwi and radish during fermentation were investigated. During fermentation of BBC, pH was increased, while titratable acidity was decreased. The changes in pH and titratable acidity of all chungkugjangs other than BBC were very rapid after 24 hrs of fermentation. Reducing sugar content was highest in BBC and was increased by 24 hrs of fermentation and decreased thereafter. Amino-type nitrogen increased rapidly after 24 hrs of fermentation. The addition of kiwi and radish increased the content of amino-type nitrogen in BBC by enhancing proteolysis of black bean, being as much as in soybean chungkugjang. At 72 hrs of fermentation BBC was found to be lower in ammonia type nitrogen than soybean chungkugjang. Mineral content, in general, was higher in BBC than in soybean chungkugjang, showing highest in potassium followed by phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of lyophilized extracts of scallions (Allium fistulosum L., SLE), garlic (Allium sativum, GLE), and gold kiwi (Actinidia chinensis, GKE) and their effects on the quality of chicken breast meat inoculated with L. monocytogenes during storage for 9 days at $4^{\circ}C$. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration (25 and 100 mg/mL, respectively) against L. monocytogenes were observed for SLE and GLE, respectively. GKE had the lowest half-maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) for 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging activity (5.06 mg/mL). The pH values of meat inoculated with L. monocytogenes and dipped in 1% SLE (LSLE), 1% GLE (LGLE), or 1% GKE (LGKE) were lower than that of the control on day 3 of storage (p<0.05). The initial population of L. monocytogenes in meat was 4.95-5.01 Log CFU/g. However, the population in the LSLE (5.73 Log CFU/g) was lower than that in the control (6.23 Log CFU/g) on day 5 (p<0.05). The volatile basic nitrogen value of the LSLE (19.90 mg/100 g) was lower than that of the control (24.38 mg/100 g) on day 7 (p<0.05). Moreover, treatment with SLE resulted in the maintenance of meat quality and reduced the population of L. monocytogenes on the meat. Thus, SLE may be used as an alternative natural and environmentally friendly sanitizer for reducing L. monocytogenes contamination in the chicken meat industry.

100 different yeast colonies were isolated from spontaneously fermented kiwis, persimmons, apples, pears, watermelons, grapes, grape fruits, peachs, and plums, and selected yeast strains were used to produce kiwi-persimmon mixed wine (KPMW). Among the isolates, five representative strains exhibited tolerance to sucrose, alcohol, pH, and potassium metabisulfite when compared with the control yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 12615). All five yeast strains (Y4, Y10, Y28, Y78, and Y81) exhibited 99% 26S rDNA sequence similarity to S. cerevisiae. The pH, acidity, Brix, reducing sugar, alcohol, and organic acid contents were consistent in KPMW prepared from the S. cerevisiae KCCM 12615 and Y28 strains. KPMW made from the Y4, Y10, and Y28 strains exhibited lower quantities of free sugars than those of the KPMW made from the other yeast strains. The level of ethyl esters in KPMW prepared from the Y28 was higher than that in the other KPMWs. All strains, except for Y28, produced lower concentrations of sulfur and ketone compounds. Furthermore, the KPMW produced by the Y28 strains had total phenolic contents with 1.1 g/L, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of 57.06% and 55.62%, respectively, and a FRAP assay value of 0.72. Our results suggest that Y28 is a promising yeast strain for producing high-quality wines.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of kiwi wine during low temperature aging on several alcohol fermentation strains. Alcohol content increased sharply from 2 days of fermentation, and then maintained steadily after 8 days of fermentation. In the alcohol content of kiwi wine on several alcohol fermentation strains such as Sacch. cerevisiae GRJ, Sacch. kluyveri DJ97 and Sacch. cerevisiae Wine 3 showed a high value of more than 13%, 12.7% for Zigosacch. cerevisiae JK99 and 12.3% for Sacch. cerevisiae OMK, respectively. Sugar content decreased steadily during fermentation and then showed approximately $10^{\circ}$Brix on 8 days of fermentation. Total acidity ranged $1.03{\sim}1.04%$ in total samples, increased slowly during fermentation and then maintained steadily during aging. During the fermentation, L value in Hunter's color value continued to increase, a value decreased steadily and b value showed high yellow to approximately 20.0. For aging duration, L and b values decreased while a value increased. Glucose and maltose were detected as free sugars of kiwi wine. In volatile flavor compounds, alcohols were identified differently on alcohol fermentation strains, but the others showed similar tendency. In conclusion, quality characteristics of kiwi wine on several alcohol fermentation strains showed similarly; however, Sacch. cerevisiae Wine 3 was overall the most suitable.
