We investigated the effect of grape-must temperature ($50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$) on wine quality. We used Muscat Bailey A (MBA) grapes; these are often used in wine making in Korea. The numbers of viable bacteria, yeasts and molds in grape-must decreased with an increase in temperature. Polyphenol oxidase activities in grape-must were reduced at high temperatures. Redness; and, total anthocyanin, polyphenol, and tannin contents of MBA grape wine were higher after heating at $70^{\circ}C$ than after use of lower temperatures. Antioxidant activity was also enhanced after exposure to high temperatures, which may be attributable to the presence of increased levels of polyphenolic compounds in the grape-must. Thus, the heat treatment to prepare grape-must before wine fermentation greatly affects wine quality.

The antimutagenic effects of enzymatic browning reaction products (MEBRPs) of polyphenol compounds (catechol, homocatechol, hydroxyhydroquinone, pyrogallol) by enzyme extracted from mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) were demonstrated through spore rec-assay using B. subtilis $H17(rec^+)$ and $M45(rec^-)$, Ames test using S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 and SOS chromotest using E. coli PQ37/plasmid pKM101. In spore rec-assay, the MEBRPs showed antimutagenic effects by decreasing of the inhibition zone induced by MNNG. In Ames test with S-9mix in both TA98 and TA100, all of MEBRPs showed strong antimutagenic effects of about 21 to 99% against mutation by $B({\alpha})P$ and Trp-P-1, as adding $300\;{\mu}l$ of the MEBRPs. In SOS chromotest, MEBRPs showed antimutagenic effects by inhibiting the SOS-inducing function induced by 4NQO and MMC, as increasing in concentration of the MEBRPs. But they did not showed mutagenicity in these bacterial assays.

The mutagenicity and desmutagenicity on enzymatic browning reaction products which obtained from prunes salicina (yellow) enzyme and polyphenol compounds were carried out. In the rec-assay on Bacillus subtilis strains H17 and M45, the enzymatic browning reaction products of pyrogallol, hydroxyhydroquinone, 3,4-dihydroxytoluene and catechol of $10^{-2}M$ did not showed mutagenicity. In the effects of various metal ions on the rec-assay, the enzymatic browning reaction products of pyrogallol showed mutagenic activity by $Fe^{3+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Ni^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}$. In the enzymatic browning reaction products of hydroxyhydroquinone, $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ were effected in mutagenic action and the enzymatic browning reaction products of catechol was effected in mutagenic action by $Mn^{2+}$. In the DNA-breaking action of enzymatic browning reaction products of pyrogallol, hydroxyhydroquinone, 3,4-dihyroxytoluene and catechol did not show, DNA-breaking action. In the effects of various metal ions on the DNA-breaking action of enzymatic browning reaction products, $Cu^{2+}$ showed DNA-breaking action. In the mutagenicity test on Sal. typhimurium strains TA98 and TA 100 with S-9 mix, 4 kinds of browned substances did sot shove muragenicity, all the browned substances showed strong desmutagenic activity in the presence of benzo $({\alpha})-pyrene$ with S-9 mix.

In this study, we investigated the contents of total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid, and absorbance at 475 nm ($OD_{475}$) which may produced in solid-fermented leaf of Smilax china L. by Aspergillus oryzae as a new functional components with reddish brown color, contents of water soluble substance (WSS), electron donating ability (EDA), Hunter $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values, sensory overall acceptability (OA) and also, the inhibitory activities (XOI and AOI) against partial purified xanthine oxidase (XO) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) from rabbit liver which were well known to relate the gout, and alcoholic liver disease, respectively in order to optimize water extraction using response surface methodology (RSM). All the $R^2$ values of the second-order polymonials ranged from 0.85 to 0.98, except for the EDA (0.69) and the XOI (0.78). However, the activities of the EDA and XOI were relatively high in the lower concentration of the fermented Smilax china L. leaf. The effects on the water extraction were highest in the concentration, among the dependent variables, and showed significant differences at the 1% level in the TP, TF and WSS contents and the $a^*$, $b^*$ and $OD_{475}$ values, but the OA showed significant differences at the 5% level. The optimal values of AOI, which was the most important functionality in the Smilax china L. that was predicted via RSM, were 59.48% at the 2.19% concentration, a $90.02^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature and a 4.03 minute extraction time ($R^2$: 0.93, p<0.007). The ranges of all the dependent variables of the optimal water extraction were 1.6~1.8% for the concentration, $83{\sim}93^{\circ}C$ for the temperature and 3.4~4.4 minutes for the extraction time; and the optimal water extraction conditions were a 1.7% concentration, an $88^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature and a 3.9-min extraction time.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to suppress phytopthora blight. This suppression has been related to both microbial antagonism and induced resistance. The PGPR isolates were screened by dual culture plate method and most of the isolates were showed varying levels of antagonism. Among the PGPR isolates pyoverdin, pyochelin and salicylic acid producing strains showed the maximum inhibition of mycelial growth of Phytopkhora capsici and increased plant growth promotion in red pepper. PGPR isolates further analysed for its ability to induce production of defence related enzymes and chemicals. The activities such as Phenyle alanin ammonia Iyase (PAL), Peroxidase (PO), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and accumulation of phenolics were observed in PGPR pretreated red pepper plants challenged with Phytopkhora capsici. The present study shows that an addition of direct antagonism and plant growth promotion, induction of defense related enzymes involved to enhance resistance against invasion of P. capsici in red pepper.

Plant growth promoting fungi(PGPF) obtained from zoysiagrass rhizosphere offer dual advantages - induse systemic disease resistance response in cucumber to C. orbiculare infection and cause enhancement of plant growth and increase yield. PGPF protected plants either by colonizing roots or by their metabolites. PGPF offer an advantage by protecting plants for more than 9 weeks and 6 week in the greenhouse and field. PGPF-induced plants limited pathogen spore germination and decreased the number of infection hyphae on the leaf, and increased lignification at places of attempted pathogen infection, thus reducing the pathogen spread. PGPF elicited increased activities of chitinascs, glucanases, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase to C. orbiculare infection in cucumber plants. The role of PGPF in elevating cucumber defense response to pathogen infection suggests potential application of PGPF as biological control agents.

This study was designed to investigate effective preprocess methods for the antioxidant activity of Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers extract. Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers (LlTT) were treated with D (Dried), SD (Steamed and Dried), ASD (Alcohol-Steamed and Dried), DR (Dried and Roasted), SDR (Steamed, Dried and Roasted), and ASDR (Alcohol-Steamed, Dried and Roasted). Solid content was high in Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers, which were roasted after drying (especially SDR, ASDR). Total sugar and reducing sugar contents were high in roasted ones. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were high upon alcohol-steaming in both the dried and roasted groups. Antioxidant activities of LlTT extracts showed effective nitrate scavenging ability, ABTs radical scavenging ability, Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and DPPH radical scavenging ability. As a result, roasting or steaming process (especially using alcohol) can be helpful to obtain the highly antioxidative extract of Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers.

The inhibitory effect and the structure-activity relationships of luteolin and its related derivatives isolated from Taraxacum mongolicum against MAO activities were investigated. The activity-guided isolation of extract from Taraxacum mongolicum led to the isolation of three flavonoids, luteolin, diosmetin, and luteolin-7-glucoside, a polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, a tyrosine and a uridine. The inhibitory activities of luteolin and its related derivatives against MAOs activities are dependent on their molecular structures. The presence of the phenolic hydroxy group at para-position is the active site for MAO-A inhibition as well as of MAO-B. The methoxy group has no potential on MAO-A inhibition. An additional phenolic hydroxy group at the ortho-position alleviates about 4-fold MAO-A inhibitory activity of phenolic hydroxy group at para-position. A carboxylic group seems to be critical for DBH inhibition and has no effects on MAO.

$95^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 밀가루(Kansas hard white winter wheat flour)로 제조된 라면은 그 제조시 약 38%의 물 흡수율을 보여주었는데 이는 열처리를 안 한 control 밀가루에 비하여 약 4~5% 증가함을 보여주었다. $95^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 밀가루는 글루텐이 열에 의해 응고되어 대부분 손상되었으며 $\alpha$-amylase의 양이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 라면의 가열 전후를 볼 때, 육안으로 본 라면의 색은 상당히 좋아졌는데, 이는 polyphenol oxidase의 불활성화로 인한 것이며, 조리시간도 많이 단축되었다. 조리 후의 라면의 증가된 무게는 control에 비하여 감소하였고, 조리에 의한 손실은 증가하였는데 이는 열에 의해 글루텐 단백질이 응고되거나 손상을 입어 라면 조직의 텍스쳐가 약해졌기 때문이다. 그러므로 열처리를 한 밀가루로부터 라면을 제조시는, 손상되지 않은 천연의 글루텐(vital gluten)을 첨가하면 국수의 글루텐 단백질과 전분의 결합력을 증가시켜 라면조직을 향상시킬 것으로 보여진다.

Polyphenoloxidase activity (PPO) in the leaves of Erechitites hieracifolia was estimated by Warburg's manometric method. The emzyme was most reactive toward chlorogenic acid followed by caffeic acid. Diethyldithiocarbamate and potassium cyanide were shown powerful inhibition rate to the polyphenoloxidase from the leaves of Erechitites hieracifolia. We confirmed antioxidant activity of the leaves of Erechitites hieracifolia by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging method. Electrophorectic isoenzyme banding patterns of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) were observed by native PAGE. The correlation of PPO and antioxidant enzymes is not investigated yet. That is need to further study.
