Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effect of combining Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract with Humuli Lupuli Flos extract on estrogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic activity. Methods : Estrogenic effect of a mixture of Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract and Humuli Lupuli Flos extract (CWHL), Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract, Humuli Lupuli Flos extract, caudatin (an active ingredient of Cynanchi wilfordii Radix extract) and 8-prenylnaringenin (an active ingredient of Humuli Lupuli Flos extract) were examined by proliferation E-screen assay and expression of estrogen inducible gene, pS2 via Real Time-PCR (RT-PCR) in MCF-7 estrogen responsive cells. And their estrogenic activities were investigated how to modulate Estrogen receptor 𝛽 by binding affinity assay. Inhibitory effect of CWHL, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract, Humuli Lupuli Flos extract, caudatin and 8-prenylnaringenin on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation were tested by TRAP (Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) staining in osteoclastogenic RAW 264.7 cells. Results : CWHL, Humuli Lupuli Flos extract and 8-prenylnaringenin accelerated the proliferation of MCF-7 and the expression of pS2 in MCF-7. CWHL, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract, Humuli Lupuli Flos extract, caudatin and 8-prenylnaringenin bind to estrogen receptor 𝛽. CWHL, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract, Humuli Lupuli Flos extract, caudatin and 8-prenylnaringenin inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in osteoclastogenic RAW 264.7. CWHL is more effective for all markers than Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extract or Humuli Lupuli Flos extract alone. Conclusions : CWHL may a potential therapeutic agent for menopause and osteoporosis as a natural food resource. CWHL as a natural food source has therapeutic potential in cases of menopause and osteoporosis.

Natural dyeing is considered to be an alternative to chemical staining in terms of harmful VOC-free and environmentally-friendly ingredient. This study was concerned with an evaluation of color performance of naturally dyed- and painted veneer for cylindrical laminated veneer lumber etc. according to the used condition in terms of existence of light and heat in drying. From the results, the color changes by the color of dyed veneer and the type of paint are likely to be affected by fading condition of light or heat. In the future, long-term outdoor exposure test needs to be additionally followed in order to evaluate durable usability of colored veneers.

Hop cones (Humuli Strobili) are the female inflorescences of hop plants (Humulus lupulus L.) belonging to the family Cannabaceae. They have been used as herbal remedies to treat mood and sleep disturbances, and mainly to add as a bittering ingredient in brewing process. Considerable interests on pharmacological and biological activities of hop cones have been focused on their major constituents, namely, phloroglucinols (humulone, lupulone), terpenes (myrcene, humulene), and prenylated flavonoids (xanthohumol, isoxanthohumol, 6-prenylnaringenin, and 8-prenylnaringenin). The present review describes and discusses biological activity profiles of these major compounds in the hop cones.

As part of developing natural food preservatives, the antimicrobial effect of ethanol and water extracts from the Cruciferous vegetable was examined Korean traditional Brassica juncea Coss. was used widely as an ingredient of Kimchi, a natural flavoring and spice for a long time. Antimicrobial activities were examined against 15 microorganisms which were food-born pathogens and/or food poisioning microorganisms and food-related bacteria and yeasts. Ethanol extract from leaf mustard showed an antimicrobial effect in most of the strains used in the present study. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were seen in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus natto at 10 mg/ml. MIC of water extract was 40-60 mg/ml for bacteria and yeast. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was not disappeared by the heating at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and not affected by pH.

At beginning the fermentation is naturally occurred by natural microbes. Fermentation techniques apply as two ways, one is fermentation to produce fermented foods and the other is preservation of the foods for longer time for future. They contain various biological active ingredient, like as vitamins. Microorganisms concerning fermentation are well known the functionalities. Each nations in the world have unique and distinct foods and dietary habits on their own specific cultures and accessible edible raw resources of plant or animal origins. Many countries have their unique traditional fermented foods based on their natural conditions. Korea has very famous traditional fermented foods, as Kimchi, fermented soybean products(Jang), fermented fish products(Jeotgal) and vinegar. In this review will discuss the overall fermented foods and typical Korean traditional fermented foods with functionalities, and future effort to enlarge into wide range of new industry.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of natural ingredient seasoning on the reduction of heterocyclic amine (HCA) production that may occur when pork belly is cooked at a very high temperature for a long time. Pork belly seasoned with natural ingredients, such as natural spices, blackcurrant, and gochujang, was cooked using the most common cooking methods, such as boiling, pan fry, and barbecue. HCAs in pork belly were extracted through solid-phase extraction and analyzed via high-performance liquid chromatography. For short-term toxicity, a mouse model was used to analyze weight, feed intake, organ weight, and length; hematology and serology analysis were also performed. Results revealed that HCAs formed only when heating was performed at a very high temperature for a long time, not under general cooking conditions. Although the toxicity levels were not dangerous, the method showing the relatively highest toxicity among various cooking methods was barbecue, and the natural material with the highest toxicity reduction effect was blackcurrant. Furthermore, seasoning pork belly with natural materials containing a large amount of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can reduce the production of toxic substances, such as HCAs, even if pork belly is heated to high temperatures.

In vitro cytotoxic activities of cisplatin combined with Chungpesagan-tang or puerarin, which were treated with or without human intestinal bacteria, were measured. When cisplatin was combined with Chungpesagan-tang and its ingredient treated without intestinal bacteria, they did not affect the in vitro cytotoxicity of cisplatin against tumor cell lines. However, when cisplatin was combined with intestinal bacteria-treated Chungpesagan-tang and its ingredients, the cytotoxicities against SNU C4, L1210, A549 and P388 tumor cell lines were synergistically increased. Puerarin, which was isolated from Puerariae Radix, did not show in vitro cytotoxicity. However, its metabolite, daidzein, showed potent cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines and was synergistic by the combined usage of cisplatin. These results suggest that natural glycosides are not only prodrugs which can be transformed to active compounds by intestinal microflora, but the combined usage of cisplatin with natural components, such as daidzein, and herbal medicinal polyprescriptions, such as Chungpesagan-tang, may be a new method for prevention and minimization of the toxicity of cisplatin.

Natural colorants have attracted much attention all over the world because of their non-hazardous nature. The world is becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues, such as ozone layer depletion, water pollution and waste disposal problems. The use of synthetic dyestuffs for their synthesis and application in the dyeing industries has been criticized due to introduction of contaminants into the environment. This has led to the desire to turn to the traditional, and more natural way of life. In this study, the colorants of extract of Ginkgo biloba bark were analysed and their dyeing properties on silk, wool and cotton were studied. It was found that uv-visible absorption spectra of extract of Ginkgo biloba bark showed two strong absorption peaks in the range of 240∼400 nm. From the result of IR spectra, the major ingredient of extract of Ginkgo biloba bark seems to be the flavon which is one of the flavonoid derivatives. Silk, wool, and cotton dyed with the extract of Ginkgo biloba bark showed a reddish yellow color. Their color differences were increased drastically with repetition of dyeing by three times.
