Ursi Fel's component ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a traditional medicine, is used for the treatment of hepatic diseases. UDCA derivatives prepared by conjugation with antioxidant moiety such as maltol, sesamol, eugenol, mesitol and 3,4-(methylenedeoxy)aniline were expected to have various biological activity caused by synergistic effect of UDCA. Therefore, in this study, it was conducted the study of the manufacture of the UDCA derivatives and their biological activity. As a result, UDCA derivatives showed weak antioxidant activity in TBA method in vitro compared to original agents. SJ-505, SJ-502 and SJ-504 showed the effect of reducing ALT, AST, sorbitol dehydrogenase and ${\gamma}-glutamyltransferase$ in $CCl_4-induced$ liver injury experiment in vivo, even if the effects are weaker than UDCA and silymarin of the control group.

In this study, we found that the moisture content of black sesame seeds increased in proportion to steaming time, and it decreased in reverse proportion to the roasting temperature and time. The crude fat and crude ash contents were shown to be in the order of steamed black sesame>raw black sesame and roasted black sesame>raw black sesame, Crude protein decreased in reverse proportion to the steaming time, and more crude protein was found in the raw black sesame samples than in the roasted black sesame samples. The contents of sesamin, sesamolin, and total lignans were shown to be in the order of roasted black sesame>raw black sesame>steamed black sesame. In the steamed black sesame samples, sesamin showed its highest level with 20 minutes of treatment, and sesamolin showed its highest level with 15 minutes of treatment. In the roasted black sesame samples, sesamin, sesamolin, and total lignans showed their highest levels with 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$. The phenolic compound content increased in proportion to steaming time in the steamed samples, and reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$, and then decreased after 20 minutes. SOD-like activity reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment, and in the roasted sample it reached a peak after 15 minutes of treatment, and then decreased after 20 minutes. SOD-like activity was comparatively lower than tocopherol and higher than sesamol. The intensity of electron donating ability, following 30 minute treatments, was shown to be highest in the steamed black sesame samples after 25 minutes of treatment, and next highest in the roasted black sesame samples after 15 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$. The electron donating ability was comparatively lower than tocopherol and sesamol. With regard to lecithin's antioxidant effects, the steamed samples showed a higher oxidation restriction rate in proportion to time, and the roasted samples showed the highest rate after 15 minutes of treatment, and then decreased after 20 minutes of treatment. for hydroxyl radical scavenging, similar scavenging activity to tocopherol, and comparatively higher scavenging activity than sesamol, was shown in all samples: all samples showed scavenging abilities of 90% or higher. In summary, this study applied three different treatment methods to black sesame to determine the optimum treatment conditions, and also examined the antioxidant effects and functional characteristics. The results showed that roasting can be used for other purposes than producing oil, and also suggested that methods other than roasting can be used in a variety of ways in cooking. Also, the different treatment methods can be applied in cooking in a variety of ways, to enhance functionality and preference.

Some phenolics were examined as an antioxidant for the autoxidation of soybean oil. Soybean oil was autoxidized under a mild condition (the flow rate of 67ml $O_{2}/min$ and $50^{\circ}C$). The antioxidant effect was estimated by active oxygen method. Phenolics show distinctive antioxidant effect, and the effect is prominent when cupper or iron was added. Phenolics showed a tendency to increase antioxidant effect with an increase of the number of hydroxyl group, and the increasing order was ferulic acid, quinalizarin, sesamol, alizarin, fisetin and purpurogallin. However, the effect was remarkably low in ferulic acid, alizarin and quinalizarin. It was found that the antioxidant effect was dependent on the functional group and geometric molecular structure of phenolics.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of black sesame gruel made with different concentrations of 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ roasted black sesame. Total lignans showed the highest levels with 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ roasted black sesame. With regard to lecithin's antioxidant effects, 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ roasted black sesame showed a higher oxidation restriction rate. Hydroxyl radical scavenging, a similar scavenging activity to tocopherol, and a comparatively higher scavenging activity than sesamol, was shown with 15 minutes of treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ roasted black sesame and showed scavenging abilities of 90% and higher. For black sesame gruels, roasting can be used in a variety of ways in cooking in order to enhance functionality and preference. The most appropriate ratios of $100^{\circ}C$, 15minutes roasted black sesame in black sesame gruels, with regard to the overall quality characteristics, are as follows: The results of the sensory test showed that the overall preference was highest for glutinous rice-black sesame gruel, glutinous brown rice-black sesame gruel, and glutinous black rice-black sesame gruel, which were deemed best with 50% black sesame. From the above results, it could be seen that glutinous rice, glutinous brown rice, and glutinous black rice black sesame gruels, which are made by adding 50% roasted black sesame, contributed to enhancing the function of antioxidant activation and development quality.

Sesame oil has been popular for hundreds of years in Korea because of its pleasant flavor and health benefits and has been studied for its antioxidant properties and flavor preferences attributed to its manufacturing methods. The objective of this study was to investigate the qualitative properties of six commercial sesame oils (3 Korean, 2 Japanese, 1 Chinese), The fatty acids in the oil are composed of two main acids oleic acid and linoleic acid with a P/S ratio of 4.99${\sim}$5.73. Of the tocopherol isomers, ${\gamma}$-toc ranged from 23.14 to 34.85mg/100g. Lignan such as sesamin(322.91${\sim}$689.39ppm) and sesamolin (62.19${\sim}$289.82 ppm) is found predominantly in sesame oil. Sesamol (8.52${\sim}$51.21 ppm) was significantly different depending on manufacturer, observed as greatest in the Korean and least in the Japanese products. The induction period was longest in order of the Korean, Chinese, and then Japanese product. The red and yellow values in Lovibond color were highest in the Korean and lowest in the Japanese product. The major volatile compounds (in order of content) were pyrazines, phenols, aldehydes, and then furans and contained a small amount of pyrroles, thiazoles and indoles. The levels of total volatiles were greatest in the Korean and least in the Japanese product. The most abundant volatiles in the Korean product were pyrazines, whereas phenols were higher in the Chinese product compared to the others. From these results, the relationships among pyrazines, sesamol, yellowness and induction period showed positive, respectively. In sensory evaluation, Korean panelists preferred, in order, the Korean, Japanese, and then the Chinese product in strength of and preference for the sesame flavor, also ranking it best in overall acceptance. Japanese panelists found similarities in the Korean and Japanese products and gave an equal level of preference for the sesame flavor and overall acceptance. On the other hand, Chinese panelists preferred the Japanese product in strength and sesame flavor rating it best on overall acceptance.

Natural compounds which could improve the oxidative stability of fish oil was screened from spices, herbs and naturally occurring antioxidants. Induction period of fish oil determined from oxidation curve by Rancimat ($80^{\circ}C$) was hardly affected with the addition of water-soluble and lipid-soluble fractions of garlic, leek, sesame leave and orange peel, and of organic acids such as citric acid, EDTA and selenium. Caffeic acid, catechin, quercetin and gallic acid laurylester, however, could extend the induction periods by $2.2{\sim}3.8$ times with the addition level of 0.1%(w/w). Rosemary extract and sesamol have a marked effect in retarding oxidation of fish oil. For example, induction periods of the oil samples stabilized with 0.1 rosemary extract and 0.1 sesamol were 16.4 hr and 11.6 hr, respectively, as compared to 4.0 hr of a control. When rosemary extract was used in combination with ascorbic acid (0.02%) or 8-tocopherol (0.2%), induction period could be extended to ca. 28 hr due to the synergism.

This study was to analyze the physiology activity of barley leaf extract using different drying methods. Yield of RL (raw leaf) and barley leaves dried did not show significant difference by various drying methods. There was no significant difference in total phenolic content by dry method. However, total flavonoid content was high in HD (dried after heat treatments) barley leaf after RL. There was no significance in barley leaf dried by SD (dried in the shade), FD (vacuum freeze dried) and MW (dried by microwave) after the microwave. Superoxide dismutase-like activity was high over 90%: $95.6{\pm}0.3%$ in RL, $94.9{\pm}0.7%$ in HD barley leaf, $92.0{\pm}1.3%$ in SD barley leaf, $91.5{\pm}0.4%$ in FD barley leaf, and $92.5{\pm}0.2%$ in MW barley leaf using the microwave. Significantly higher antioxidant activity was shown as compared to the control group of sesamol ($88.426{\pm}0.802%$), tocopherol ($88.8{\pm}0.6%$), and BHT ($86.6{\pm}0.8%$). Also, except for RL and MW barley leaf, all showed over 80% peroxyl radical scavenging activity and over 90% inhibition rate of xanthine oxidase. The results of this study show that total phenolic content and total flavonoid content by dry method were dependent on the drying temperature with no impact on antioxidant activity.

The changes of the physico-chemical properties and fatty acid compositions of cooked soybean oil, 30 min at $180{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, were investigated to compare the antixidative effects of some antioxidants such as BHA, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and sesamol according to various storage conditions(room temperature, room temperature with a air tight in the dark and low temperature with air tight) for 4 weeks. The order of antioxidative effects according to different storage conditions was low temperature with air tight, room temperature with air tight in the dark and room temperature. Acid values, peroxide values and carbonyl values of soybean oil stored under low temperature with air tight after ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ treatment were similar to those of soybean oil stored under room temperature after BHA treatment. The relative contents of linoleic acid and linolenic acid decreased during storage, wheras those of oleic acid and palmitic acid increased. The contents of linoleic acid in soybean oil treated with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and BHA under low temperature with air tight storage were $53.61{\sim}50.29%$ and $53.78{\sim}50.68%$, respectively. These contents were very high in comparison with those in untreated oil under room temperature storage, $52.09{\sim}43.96%$.
