The characteristics and antioxidative activities of yellow and black soybean cheonggukjang prepared with the addition of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas cv. Jami) were evaluated. In sensory evaluation experiments involving the addition of purple sweet potatoes to cheonggukjang at 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30% ratios (w/w), yellow (YCAP) and black (BCAP) soybean cheonggukjang with 20% purple sweet potato were most preferred. The total phenolics and flavonoid contents of YCAP and BCAP were higher than those of yellow (YC) and black (BC) cheonggukjang prepared without added purple sweet potato. YCAP and BCAP also showed higher DPPH radical-scavenging activities than other samples. Moreover, rat blood plasma samples taken 1 h after oral administration of YCAP and BCAP showed higher inhibitory effects against lipid peroxidation than did rats fed YC or BC. These results suggest that the long-term intake of cheonggukjang prepared with purple sweet potato may increase the antioxidative activity in the blood.

The natural dyeing of silk fabric with Purple-Fleshed Sweet Potato (PSP) was investigated. The colorant was extracted with distilled water, and the color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) was increased with increasing the amount of PSP in extraction. The proper temperature and time for the extracting of colorant with PSP were $60^{\circ}C$ and 60 minutes. The optimum temperature, time and pH for the dyeing of silk with extracted PSP were $60^{\circ}C$, 60 minutes and pH 4 respectively. In various mordanted methods, the color difference values of post-mordanted silk fabric were higher than those of pre- and simultaneous-mordanted method. And the wide range of colors( GY, Y, YR, R, RP) were obtained according to various mordants, mordanting methods and mordant concentrations. Light colorfastness of the mordanted silk fabric was improved. Laundering colorfastness, dry cleaning colorfastness and perspiration colorfastness were shown to be good.

This study was conducted to develop a processing procedure for soft drink and wine from purple sweetpotato and to determine the color stability of purple sweetpotato anthocyanin pigment after production. Purple sweet potato soft drink was found to have 15.6% of total extraction, $11.8\;Brix^{\circ}%$ of sugar and pH 4.1, whereas wine had 12.6% of alcohol, $7.8\;Brix^{\circ}%$ of sugar and pH 4.9.Color stabilities of the soft drink and wine showed little difference after four-month storage from the time right after processing. The public found the soft drink that was made from 90% of purple sweet potato, 5% of citron and 5% of honey, more to their taste, rather than other soft drinks that were either made from 100% purplesweet potato or made from 80% of purple sweet potato, 10% of citron and 10% of honey. The public also found $45^{\circ}C$. of fermentation temperature more agreeable than that of $30^{\circ}C$. Powder, vinegar and anthocyanin pigment earned from purple sweet potato showed high stability, as they showed no change in color after four months in storage.

Purple sweet potatoes were dehydrated with maltodextrin with different dextrose equivalent (DE) values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-19.5, and 17-20. Maltodextrin was used as a molecular press dehydrating agent. The molecular dehydration rate of the purple sweet potatoes increased over time. As the DE of maltodextrin increased, the moisture content after 12 h of dehydration decreased from 65.7% to 40.8, 36.1, 34.9, and 28.6% for DE values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-17.5, and 17-20, respectively. Additionally, total phenolic content, anthocyanin, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities decreased as the DE value of maltodextrin increased. While maltodextrins with DE values of 16.5-19.5 and 17-20 effectively dehydrated the purple sweet potatoes, total phenolic, anthocyanin, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were lowered during dehydration. The DPPH radical scavenging activities correlated to both the total phenolic content ($r^2=0.96$) and anthocyanin contents ($r^2=0.95$) of the purple sweet potatoes. These results indicate that the purple sweet potatoes were effectively dehydrated with maltodextrin whose DE values ranged 16.5-20, although there were losses in the total phenolic and anthocyanin contents.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the dephosphorylation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa flagellin (PA FLA) by sweet potato purple acid phosphatase (PAP) and the effect of the enzyme on the flagellin-mediated inflammatory response in the A549 lung epithelial cell line. Methods: The activity of sweet potato PAP on PA FLA was assayed at different pH (4, 5.5, 7, and 7.5) and temperature (25℃, 37℃, and 55℃) conditions. The release of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the activation of nuclear factor kappa- light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in A549 cells exposed to PA FLA treated with or without sweet potato PAP was measured using IL-8 and NF-κB ELISA kits, respectively. The activation of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in TLR5-overexpressing HEK-293 cells exposed to PA FLA treated with or without sweet potato PAP was determined by the secreted alkaline phosphatase-based assay. Results: The dephosphorylation of PA FLA by sweet potato PAP was favorable at pH 4 and 5.5 and highest at 55℃. PA-FLA treated with the enzyme decreased IL-8 release from A549 cells to about 3.5-fold compared to intact PA FLA at 1,000 ng/mL of substrate. Moreover, PA-FLA dephosphorylated by the enzyme repressed the activation of NF-κB in the cells compared to intact PA FLA. The activation of TLR5 by PA-FLA was highest in TLR-overexpressing HEK293 cells at a substrate concentration of 5,000 ng/mL, whereas PA FLA treated with the enzyme strongly repressed the activation of TLR5. Conclusion: Sweet potato PAP has the potential to be a new alternative agent against the increased antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa and may be a new conceptual feed additive to control unwanted inflammatory responses caused by bacterial infections in animal husbandry.

Flow properties of the concentrated pigment solutions extracted from purple-fleshed sweet potatoes were determined using a cone and plate rotational viscometer for soluble solids concentration range of 25 to 65% at temperature range of 20 to 60 $^{\circ}C$. The purple-fleshed sweet potato pigment solutions exhibited Newtonian behavior. Temperature dependency for the viscosity of the solution followed the Arhenius relationship with activation energy values between 14.23 and 43.00 kJ/mol, which increased linearly with soluble solids concentration. A relationship between viscosity, temperature and soluble solids concentration was investigated. At the same temperature, the viscosity of the concentrated pigment solutions increased exponentially as the concentration increased with higher degree of such phenomena at lower temperatures.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to research any effect on vision protecting or decreasing VDT syndrome of extracted anthocyanine from fermented purple sweet potato and blueberry. Methods: Subjects were aged 19-20 years old who do not have ophthalmic and systemic diseases and over -N4.00 D of refraction error. 40 mg of extracted anthocyanine from fermented purple sweet potato, from blueberry, and control group, placebo were dosed at separate try. After 2 hours later, subjects were directed perform visual display terminal (VDT) work for 2 hours. Objective refractive error was measured before dosing anthocyanine and after VDT work for 2 hours. Degree of head ache, eye pain and strain and subjective symptoms of neck, shoulder and waist was also examined through interviews by dividing its degree into severe, moderate, slight or none. Results: After 2 hours VDT work, vision protection effect in terms of refractive error for dominant eye was decreased by $0.031{\pm}0.21$ D in the group of extracted anthocyanine from fermented purple sweet potato, $0.006{\pm}0.32$ D in the group of extracted anthocyanine from blueberry. However, there was significantly myopic progression in the placebo group by $0.144{\pm}0.28$ D (t=2.27, p=0.03). Conclusions: It is considered that extracted anthocyanine from fermented purple sweet potato inhibits increase of refraction anomalies of dominant eye rather than non-dominant eye after VDT work.

Performance of pilot plant scale extraction and concentration of purple-fleshed sweet potato anthocyanin pigment was tested and the characteristics of pigment extracts and concentrates were investigated. Fifty kilograms of purple-fleshed sweet potato was extracted with 500 L of 1% citric acid in 20% ethanol. As a whole, extraction pattern of the large scale extraction was similar to that of the laboratory scale extraction. The extracted pigment solution was filtered twice with a bag filter and a winding type microfilter and the filtrate was concentrated by a large scale vacuum evaporator at $40^{\circ}C$ and 600 mmHg vac. The mean values of total optical density (TOD) of the extract and the concentrate were 6.53 and 120.45, respectively. Browning index (BI) and Degradation index (DI) of extract were 5.86 and 1.55 and those of concentrate were 5.89 and 1.56, respectively, which indicated that the pigments were not changed or degraded through the extraction and concentration process.
