Seasoned laver is the highest consumed item among processed laver foods. However, it easily undergoes quality deterioration during processing and storage by lipid oxidation. The purpose of this study was to develop onion seasoned laver with strengthened functional properties through evaluation of storage characteristics. Proximate composition, color index, acid value, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) production, and sensory evaluation of seasoned laver with 0, 15 and 30% onion powder were analyzed during storage periods of 0, 12 and 24 weeks. The lightness, redness, and yellowness of 30% onion seasoned laver significantly increased according to storage period. The acid value and TBA production significantly increased in control laver without onion powder, with no significant difference in 30% onion seasoned laver according to storage period. Sensory preference of onion seasoned laver was better than that of control laver in terms of taste, texture, and overall acceptability. To sum up these results, seasoned laver with 30% onion powder showed superior color degree, acid value, TBA production and sensory preference in proportion to added amount.

Pink root of onion occurred in the fields of the Onion Experimental Station and in the main onion cultivation area in Korea in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The casual fungus of pink root was isolated only from apricot agar. Formation of pycnidia and pycnidiospores of the fungus was highest in alternating cycles of 12 hours near ultraviolet light and 12 hours in dark condition. Its morphological characteristics and pigment formation on water agar were identical with that of Pyrenochaeta terrestris. The optimum temperature for the growth of the fungus and disease development was $25-28^{\circ}C$. When onion seeds were inoculated with the spore suspension, incubated in test-tube and sown in potted soil, disease symptoms developed in onion roots 7 and 30 days after inoculation.

The effect of mixed onion pills on body composition, blood pressure, and concentrations of blood glucose and lipids were studied in 10 men ($38.11{\pm}2.82$ years old). The mixed onion pills was produced by mixing quercetin, onion, mulberry leaves and buckwheat. Ten volunteers (male, BMI 23.0~35.4 kg/$m^2$) were chosen for this study. The volunteers consumed 1.2 g of mixed onion pills (containing about 30 mg of quercetin) per day for 2 months. The administration of the mixed onion pills did not produce any weight and BMI changes in the subjects. The systolic blood pressure and the level of blood glucose were slightly lowered by the supplementation of the mixed onion pills. After 2 months both the concentration of plasma triglycerides and total cholesterol of the subjects were lowered by 12.4% and 5.0%, respectively (triglyceride; pre $251.67{\pm}45.63$ mg/dL vs. post $220.44{\pm}44.67$ mg/dL and total cholesterol; pre $207.25{\pm}10.39$ mg/dL vs. post $196.63{\pm}10.47$ mg/dL, p<0.05). These results suggest that the mixed onion pills may possibly lower the level of plasma lipids in overweight or obese men (BMI greater than 23 kg/$m^2$).

Korean native Perilla Jangachi (salted and fermented vegetable) is popular and well-known but little study on its composition and most palatable condition has been reported. This study was performed to observe the change in the contents of chemical components and sensory evaluation of Perilla Jangachi which was prepared through two processing. First, as a pretreatment, Perilla leaves were soaked in salt water. The optimal level of salt concentration and soaking time (salt 4%, soaking time 42hours) was determined. Second, soaked Perilla Jangachi was steamed and then fermented in various ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, onion and so on. In this study, Perilla Jangachi was made by 3 levels of steaming time(30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds) and onion contents (10%, 30%, 50%). The optimal level of onion contents and steaming time was determined with the results of sensory evaluation by response surface methodology and analysis of composition. Sodium contents were decreased as the levels of onion contents were increased. Flavonoids contents weren't increased although contents of onion were increased. But they were influenced on steaming time that as the levels of steaming time were shortened, flavonoids contents were increased. To lengthen the shelf-life of Perilla Jangachi, the activities of enzyme peroxidase - which changes Jangachi's quality bad - by various levels of steaming time were measured. After steaming 50 seconds, peroxidase became inactive. Reducing sugar contents were decreased relying on either increased steaming time and onion contents. While steaming 30 seconds and 10% onion contents, the content of reducing sugar was 0.858% but steaming 90 seconds and 50% onion contents, it became 0.372%. Among the sensory attributes, brownness was increased as onion contents increased and steaming more than 60 seconds. Saltiness, sweetness, perilla flavor were greater relying on decreased onion contents. Toughness was decreased as both the amounts of onion and steaming time were increased. With this results, the most optimal adding level of onion content and steaming time was determined. Steaming 72 seconds and adding onion 27% was established as a optimal condition of Perilla Jangachi.

양파의 향기성분을 보존 또는 제거할 목적으로 양파냄새를 masking하거나 제거하는 물질을 양파즙에 처리하여 관능검사를 실시하였고, pyruvate와 thiosulfinate를 측정하였으며 Solid Phase Micro Extraction(SPME)/GC법을 이용하여 휘발성 향기성분의 변화를 조사하였다. 생양파즙의 주요 향기성분은 dipropyl tetrasulfide, 1-propenyl propyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, dipropyl trisulfide 등이었다. 다시마, 미역, 김, 규조토를 첨가한 양파즙의 휘발성 향기성분은 대조군과 비교하였을 때 모든 향기성분이 다소 감소하는 경향이었으나 활성탄과 ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ 첨가군은 거의 모든 향기성분이 제거되었다. 여러 가지 첨가물의 농도를 달리하여 양파즙에 첨가하여 관능검사를 실시한 결과 양파 냄새는 감소하였으며 p<0.05 수준에서 유의적으로 차이가 나타났다. 해조류를 첨가한 군의 pyruvate와 thiosulfinate 함량은 대조군과 차이가 없었으나 활성탄을 첨가한 양파즙의 경우, 그 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 이상의 결과, 다시마, 미역, 김 등의 해조류 처리군은 양파의 향기성분과 매운맛 성분을 보존하면서 관능적으로 양파냄새를 masking하는 효과를 나타내었고, ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$과 활성탄은 양파에 존재하는 많은 휘발성 향기성분과 복합물을 형성하거나 홉착하여 양파냄새를 제거한 것으로 사료되어 진다.

Non processed onion (Allium cepa L.) powder or onion powder processed with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin+1%$ calcium chloride+1% soluble starch solution was added to the diet of 16 week old Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) for 5 weeks. 36 SHR and Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 diet groups, each of six. They were named control, NPO (non processed onion), PO (processed onion). The rats of the control group were fed diet without onion powder. To NPO and PO groups were added 5% of non processed onion and processed onion, respectively. Body weight gain, food efficiency ratio (FER), blood pressure, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and Na excretion of urine and feces were analyzed. The processed onion and non processed onion diet reduced body weight gain without affeting the total food intake in Wistar rats (p<0.05). The body weight gain was lowest in Wistar rats fed with a diet with processed onion powder. The rats fed with diet containing PO or NPO had lower blood systolic blood pressure in SHR (p<0.05). The effect of onion powder on decreasing the blood pressure was not significant in Wistar rats. The ACE activity in lung was lowered in the SHR fed with either PO or NPO (p<0.05) compared to those fed with control diet. The urinary Na excretion was significantly lower in SHR than Wistar rats. The effects of PO and NPO on increasing the urinary and fecal excretion of Na were significant (p<0.05). These results suggest that onion processed with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin+1%$+1% calcium chloride+1% soluble starch solution to reduce volatile flavor, browning and caking preserves an antihypertensive effect of non processed onion.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the richest sources of flavonoids in human diet. Onion peel contains over 20 times more quercetin than onion flesh. In this study, we studied the effects of onion peel water extract (OPE) on the blood lipid profiles in mice. The onion peel extracts was extracted with hot water. The experimental groups were divided with 3 groups (n = 6) of ICR male mice: normal diet + distilled water (NC), high-fat diet + distilled water (HF), high-fat diet + onion peel water extract 20 mg/kg (OPE-20). The oral administration was conducted daily. The experimental period was 7 weeks. Onion peel water extract showed higher concentration of polyphenol gallic acid and anti-oxidant trolox equivalent than the ethanol extract. The body weight gain and food efficiency ratio was significantly lower in the OPE-20 group as compared with HF group (p < 0.05). The epididymal fat and retroperitoneal fat showed significantly lower weights and sizes in the OPE-20 group as compared with HF group (p < 0.05). The serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly lower in the OPE-20 group as compared with HF group (p < 0.05). The OPE-20 group showed higher HDL cholesterol concentration than HF group (p < 0.05). Atherogenic index was ignificantly lower in as compared with HF group (p < 0.05). The serum levels of glucose, GOT and GPT were significantly lower in the OPE-20 group as compared with HF group (p < 0.05). In these results, we suggests that onion peel water extracts supplementation can reduces the serum lipid components and improves the lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic mice induced with a high-fat diet.

Various conditions for onion-juice production, and for alcohol and acetic acid fermemtations were investigated to produce a vinegar from onion. In the production of the onion juice, treatments with enzymes such as 0.6% Celluclast 1.5L and 0.2% Viscozyme L increased the yields significantly from 45.0% to 54.5% and 72.5%, respectively. Alcohol and acetic acid fermentations from the onion juice were effectively improved by using the onion juice heated at 80$^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes, and by adding 0.3% yeast extract, 0.3% $MgSO_4$ and 0.3% $K_3PO_4$ as nutrients to the onion juice. At the optimum condition, 5.8% alcohol was produced after five days of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ from the 14 Brix onion juice, which was adjusted by adding sugar. A vinegar with 6.7% acetic acid content was produced after 20 days of fermentation of $30^{\circ}C$ from 4% alcohol that was adjusted by adding onion juice.
