We investigated the effects of lemon pure essential oils on the heat shock-induced apoptosis in human astrocyte cell line CCF-STTG1. In previous studies, hear shock has been reported to induce the apoptosis or programmed cell death through the activation of caspase-3. Treatment of CCF-STTG1 cells with heat shock markedly induced apoptotic cell death as determined by flow cytometry. Interestingly, pretreatment of CCF-STTG1 cells with lemon pure essential oils inhibited the heat shock-induced apoptosis. Lemon also inhibited the heat shock-induced apoptosis in primary cultured rat astrocytes. To determine whether lemon inhibits the heat shock-induced activation of these apoptotic proteases, activation of CPP32 was assessed by Western blotting. Consistent with flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation and giemsa staining, heat shock-induced activation of CPP32 was blocked by lemon pure essential oil. PARP, cysteine protease substrates were fragmented as a consequence of apoptosis by heat shock. Lemon oil inhibited the PARP fragmentation. This essential oil also inhibited the heat shock-induced activation of caspase-3. These results suggest that lemon pure essential oils may modulate the apoptosis through the activation of the ICE-like caspases.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic or lemon juice on the lipid oxidation of fish oil as antioxidants and color difference of fish muscle. The samples was treated with garlic or lemon juice by the amount 5%(w/w) or 10%(w/w) of fish muscle were stored at $4\pm$1^{\circ}C$$ and $-18\pm$2^{\circ}C$$ for 10 and 40 days, respectively. The results of this study were as follows; 1. pH of fish muscle had little change during all the storage time at $-18\pm$2^{\circ}C$$. pH of the fish muscle was decreased within 5 days and then was increased untreated or treated with garlic juice at $4\pm$1^{\circ}C$$. 2. Lipid oxidation of fish was measured by POV and TBA value. Both POV and TBA value of the sample treated with garlic juice were generally lower than those of the sample treated with lemon juice and the sample treated with 5f% garlice or lemon juice was lower than the sample treated with 10% garlice or lemon juice. 3. Lightness of the sample treated with loft lemon juice was the highest and that of untreated sample was the lowest during all the storage time at $4\pm$1^{\circ}C$$. As the storaging periods at $4\pm$1^{\circ}C$$, redness of the samples treated with 5% garlic or lemon juice were higher than that of the samples treated with lO%) garlic or lemon juice. Yellowness of the samples treated with 10% garlic or lemon juice showed the highest. Yellowness of the samples treated with lemon juice was higher than that of samples treated with garlic juice.

High amounts of lemon seeds are discarded as by-products of processing industries. It is important to find some measures, whereby they could be used in value-added ways. Although few studies have been conducted on lemon seed oils, no study has been conducted on the nutrient content of lemon seed sprouts. The objective of this study was to investigate the nutritional value and antioxidant potential of lemon seeds and sprouts. The 1,1-diphenly-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging potential, total polyphenol, and total free amino acid content were higher in the sprouts than in the seeds. Similarly, the content of such mineral elements as Fe, Na, and Zn, increased with germination. However, salicylic acid and total mineral content were lower in the sprouts than in the seeds. The results indicate that lemon seeds and sprouts could be regarded as high-value materials in food and cosmetic industries.

To develop a new type of surimi with added citrus fruits, we examined the colors, textural properties and sensory evaluations of surimi after production. In the folding test, all samples had good flexibility, which suggested that addition of citrus fruits did not influence the flexibility of surimi. The pH in surimi samples was, in increasing order: lemon(Citrus limon), citron(Citrus junos), tangerine(Citrus unshiu), cumquet(Fortunella japonica var. margarita), and control. The pHs of each citrus fruits and the surimi with added citrus fruits were similar. Lightness increased in the following order: lemon, cumquet, control, citron, and tangerine surimi. Redness was high in the following order: tangerine, cumquet, control, citron, and lemon surimi. Yellowness increased in the following order: tangerine, cumquet, citron, lemon, and control surimi. There were no significant differences between lemon and control surimi. The hardness of surimi was highest in lemon, followed by citron, tangerine, cumquet, and control surimi. Although control surimi was the lowest, there were no significant differences among the samples. In terms of springness, it increased in the following order: tangerine, citron, control, lemon, and cumquet, but there were no significant differences among the samples. In sensory evaluation, overall acceptability decreased in the following order: cumquet, tangerine, control, citron, and lemon. Surimi containing cumquet got the best score in colors, textural properties, and taste except flavor. All samples got positive results in sensory ova luations, except for textural properties and taste of lemon and citron. Here, we confirm that surimi can be made with added citrus fruits, although we should examine in detail the quantities of added lemon and citron in a later study.

This study was performed to determine the sensory evaluation and mechanical characteristics of lemon red ginseng-pyun. Lemon red ginseng-pyun was made with lemon juice(21.4%), sweet potato starch(6.7%), water(53.3%), sugar(13.3%), honey(5.3%) and various concentrations of red ginseng powder(0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10%). The quality characteristics of the sample were estimated in terms of pH, color difference, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation. The pH of lemon red ginseng-pyun showed no significant difference among the different ratios of red ginseng. With increasing red ginseng powder addition, the lightness was significantly(p<0.05) lower, and a value and b values were significantly(p<0.05) higher. In sensory evaluation, with increasing red ginseng powder addition, the color and bitter taste of lemon red ginseng-pyun were stronger, while clarity of the 10% added red ginseng was significantly(p<0.05) lower than that of the 0% added red ginseng. Elasticity, hardness, chewiness, softness. sweet taste and overall acceptability were not significantly different in any group. In texture profile analysis, chewiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and hardness were significantly(p<0.05) increased in the 10% added red ginseng but springiness was not significantly different in any group. Overall acceptability was related to texture, appearance, overall taste and sweet taste of lemon red ginseng-pyun. Therefore, development of lemon red ginseng-pyun with no sugar or artificial sweeteners is encouraged as a healthy diet for diabetes and hypertension patients, because red ginseng is defined as a functional foods.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) on various quality and antioxidant activity of hamburger patties. Lemon balm extract (LBE) showed the highest amount of total polyphenol (801.00 mg TAE/g DW) and flavonoids (65.05 mg RA/g DW). The $IC_{50}$ value of DPPH hydroxyl scavenging of LBE was $132{\mu}g/mL$. The hamburger patties were prepared by 0% (N), 0.1% (L1), 0.5% (L2), and 1.0% (L3) of the lemon balm powder. The addition of lemon balm powder increased the chewiness value, but did not affect the hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness values. Lemon balm powder had positive effects on sensory evaluation of patties. The pH of all patties decreased with longer storage period. 2-Thiobarbituric acid value, volatile basic nitrogen content, and the total microbial counts of hamburger patties in the L3 group were lower, compared to those of the normal (N group). In conclusion, the L3 group had significantly delayed lipid peroxidation compared to other treatment groups. However, the addition of lemon balm powder into patties showed no significantly influence on proximate composition, calorie contents, water holding capacity and cooking loss of patties. Therefore, lemon balm might be a useful natural antioxidant additive in meat products.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of Glazed Spanish Mackerel in Teriyaki sauce by adding Lemon juice, using a Sous vide Cook-chill method. The control was prepared by mixing 100 g of cut Spanish Mackerel and 15 mL of Teriyaki sauce. 1.5 mL lemon juice was added to 15 mL of Teriyaki sauce. The product was stored at below $3^{\circ}C$, and its microbiological quality was assessed over varying storage periods (0, 5, 10, 15 days). Total Plate Counts at product flow showed no significant difference between the control and the lemon juice-added sample. However, the coliform counts at the end of mixing each sauce were detected at low levels of 1.65 Log CFU/g in the lemon juice-added sample, as opposed to 2.63 Log CFU/g in the controls (p<0.05). The microbiological quality by storage day was relatively high in the lemon juice-added samples. After reheating, the Total Plate Counts and Coliform counts of the lemon juice-added samples satisfied the standard applied in the processed food (5.0 and 2.0 Log CFU/g, respectively). It can be concluded that the addition of Lemon juice was more effective in ensuring the safety and extending the shelf life of Sous vide Glazed Spanish Mackerel in Teriyaki sauce.

Although most lemons are imported into Korea, their consumption is increasing. Development of domestic varieties of Jeramon and Minimon is currently underway in an effort to meet the increasing demand for fresh lemons. In this study, an analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of Jeramon and Minimon, including their flavor components and antioxidant properties, was conducted. The results revealed that these new varieties of Korean lemon can be regarded as good sources of antioxidants and phytochemicals. Compared to Sunkist, the most consumed lemon variety in Korea, Minimon contained more than twice as much β-cryptoxanthin, and the content of L-ascorbic acid was more than three-four-fold higher in both Minimon and Jeramon. In addition, results from measurement of DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities indicated that Jeramon extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. In the volatile profile analysis, the profiles of volatile components showed high similarity among the three lemon samples, and the composition ratio was largely dominated by terpenoids. A markedly higher ratio of d-limonene and thymol was detected in the Minimon variety compared with that in the other two varieties. Collectively, the findings from this study on Korean lemon varieties provide a basis as well as valuable guidance for breeding domestic lemon varieties.
