This study was carried to develop the new material of functional food which antioxidant of natural substances of sprouts. We compared antioxdiative activity and antioxidant substances exist in sprouts. Antioxidaive activities of sprouts were measured by total polyphenolic acid contents, electron donating activity(EDA), SOD-liked activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging ability. Total polyphenolic acid content was very higher in Rape sprouts extract(Rap) than other sprout extracts. Also Rape extract was showed the most excellent antioxdiative activity in SOD liked activity at 86.94%. The EDA was ordered Rape sprouts extract(Rap)>Tatsoi sprouts extract(Tat)>Broccoli sprouts extract(Bro)>Alfalfa sprout extract(Alf). Hydroxy radical scavenging ability was the most effective in Rape sprouts extract(Rap). Therefore we could be certain that Rape sprouts extract(Rap) was the most effective in antioxidative activity from sprouts.

Most soybean sprouts grown in factories are sold on the market. When the soybean sprouts grow up to lateral root initiation, the rate and absolute amount of asparagine in the roots of all sprouts are comparatively low. To extract the greatest amount of asparagine from soy-sprouts, it is advantageous to grow sprouts more than 16 days. When sprouts were grown with ozonic water, it was possible to grow sprouts more than 16 days without any rotting problems. The content of asparagine in the sprouts were proportionally increased up to 16 days. When sprouts were grown in 0.2% of urea, the content of asparagine in sprouts were significantly increased. Soybean sprouts grown at $20^{\circ}C$ room temperature showed the highest yield rate and asparagine content, at the same time.

Soybean and mungbean sprouts are vegetables indigenous to Korea which have been grown throughout the year from the most remote age. They had been called interchangeably as duchaeah or duah. Control method of environmental conditions for soybean or mungbean sprouts growing had been already appreciated from long time ago. A growing method once developed might have been handed over considerable period. Siroo (시루) and yongsoo (용수) had been the most common containers and the watering skill is of the utmost importance for soybean sprouts growing. As the demand of soybean sprouts in the market increased, a pit has been used for bean sprouts growing, and transformed into regular soybean sprouts factory. Now bean sprouts are international food and the demand of bean sprouts seems permanent in Korea. Accordingly the long-term policy concerned with the production of soybean sprouts should be prepared, placing emphasis on improved quality and safety.
