This study was performed to determine the effects of pretreatment and drying methods on the quality and physiological activities of garlic powders. Fresh garlic was boiled, baked, steamed or left untreated before hot-air drying or freeze-drying. Electron-donating abilities were higher in the untreated group for each drying method. Relative EDA of baked group was 32.8%, whereas those of the boiling and steaming groups were 12.4% and 20.1%, respectively. Nitrite-scavenging effects were slightly affected by processing methods. Polyphenol content of the processing group was higher in the hot-air drying than freeze-drying group, and it was significantly highest in the untreated freeze-dried group. The value of polyphenol in the baked group was significantly higher than those of the boiling and steaming groups. Tyrosine contents of garlic powder were higher in the hot-air drying than freeze-drying group, and it was significantly highest in the untreated group of each drying method. Antimicrobial activities of the garlic powders were higher in freeze-drying group compared to the hot-air drying group. Therefore, antimicrobial activities of garlic powder were affected by heating treatments.

This study was performed to determine the effects of different processing methods (AD: drying at $50^{\circ}C$ for 15 h; ADR: roasting after drying; SAD: drying after steaming; SADR: roasting after steaming and drying) on the quality characteristics, total phenolic content, anthocyanin content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and reducing powder of red radish (Bordeaux and watermelon radish) tea. The pH of red radish tea was the highest with SAD. In terms of the total sugar content, Bordeaux radish tea showed the highest level with AD, ADR, and SAD, and watermelon radish tea showed the highest level with SADR. The a value of Bordeaux radish tea was higher with AD and ADR. The b value of Bordeaux radish tea was increased with steaming and roasting treatment. In terms of measuring the colors of watermelon radish tea, the L value was decreased while the b value was increased with roasting treatment. The total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and reducing powder with ADR and SADR were higher than those in samples prepared by different processing methods. AD and SAD resulted in higher anthocyanin contents than ADR and SADR. In terms of sensory evaluation, the appearance and color were rated higher with AD and SAD, whereas the flavor and taste were ranked higher with ADR and SADR than in the other samples. The results suggest that red radish (Bordeaux and watermelon radish) tea prepared by ADR and SADR processing methods can be utilized as health functional tea material with antioxidant activity.

The objective of this study was to investigate their physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of white radish teas such as pH, color value, total polyphenol contents, total flavonoids, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and sensory evaluation. They were processed by drying(AD), drying and roasting(ADR), steaming and drying(SAD), and steaming, drying, and roasting(SADR). As a result, the pH of ADR, and SADR tended to be significantly lowered and SADR was the lowest at $5.48{\pm}0.14$(p<0.001). Additionally, ADR and SADR were significantly different in color and browning value, compared to AD and SAD. There was no significant difference in reducing sugar content depending on processing methods. The total polyphenol content and total flavonoid content of the teas were significantly increase after roasting. DPPH radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in ADR and SDAR than in AD or SAD by 1.1~1.5 times(p<0.05). Compared with ADR and SADR after roasting, the sensory characteristics of AD and SAD were significantly lower than those of roasted ADAD and SAD, respectively. From the above results, it was concluded that the roasting process is a major process that affects the physicochemical quality characteristics and antioxidant activities.

This study was performed to obtain the good processing in the Rehmanniae Radix Preparata. In this study, we investigated the comparative analysis for steamed and hot-air dried Rehmanniae Radix Preparata. The results were obtained as follows : Through loss on drying analysis with each additional processing of Rehmanniae Radix preparata, there was gradual increase. Through ash analysis with each additional processing of Rehmanniae Radix preparata, there was slight increase. Rehmanniae Radix preparata had several inorganic components such as K, P, Mg, Ca, Cl, Al. P and Mg were increased gradually with each additional processing of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata. But Ca was decreased with each additional processing. We identitied 24 kinds of volatile components from extracts of various processed Rehmanniae Radix Preparata through componential analysis using GC/MS. From GC/MS analysis, we found out the content of 5-HMF Rehmanniae Radix Preparata steamed over 7 times was suitable. 5-HMF's content of 9 times steamed Rehmanniae Radix Preparata gained from GC/MS analysis is 70-fold higher than gained from HPLC. The more it is repeating steamed and hot-air dried, the more toxic volatile compound of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata is removed. Taken together, these results suggested that Rehmanniae Radix Preparata had component (especially 5-HMF) changes according to different processed steaming and hot-air drying.

To evaluate the processing adaptability of burdock (Arctium lappa L) tea, the physicochemical properties of burdock tea treated with steaming and roasting were investigated. The tea treatments included hot-air drying after roasting (HDR, drying at $60^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr), steaming after hot-air drying (SHD, steaming at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min), and steaming and then hot-air drying followed by roasting (SHDR, roasting at $250^{\circ}C$ for 3 min). The physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of the HDR, SHD, and SHDR teas were measured in hot water, and the tea was extracted from each sample. The color values of lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were lower in the HDR and SHDR teas, and the total sugar content of the SHDR tea was significantly higher than that of the other teas. The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging abilities of the SHDR tea with a 500 mg% concentration were significantly higher than those of the SHD tea. In the sensory evaluation, the SHDR tea was ranked significantly higher than the other samples as to its color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability. The results suggest that SHDR can be applied to burdock tea to achieve high quality and functionality.

The quality and functional properties of red ginseng in relation to steaming and drying conditions were evaluated. Fresh ginseng (5-year roots), cultivated in the Punggi region, were steamed for 2.5, 3.5, or 4.5 hr, and then dried by hot-air (60-$65^{\circ}C$/24 hr and $40^{\circ}C$,/3-4d) freezing ($-80^{\circ}C$/56 hr), and infrared (900 W/$62^{\circ}C$/68 hr). Hunter#s yellowness (b-value) and browning indexes (420 nm) of the samples were higher in the rootlets than in the main roots. Furthermore, these same index values were found to be high in the order of 3.5, 4.5, and 2.5 hr and infrared, hot-air, and freezing for steaming and subsequent drying, respectively. Analysis of soluble solids, total phenolics, total flavonoids, acidic polysaccharides, and electron donating abilities of the steamed and dried samples showed that 3.5hr of steaming with infrared drying was optimal. However, crude saponin contents were not influenced by steaming and drying conditions. The contents of $ginsenoside-Rg_l$, -Re, -Rf and $-Rb_2$, which were the major components in the samples, were reduced with steaming time, while the amounts of $-Rg_3$ and $-Rh_2$ increased, reaching the highest levels at 3.5 and 4.5 hr in the main roots and rootlets, respectively. The contents of $-Rg_3$ and $-Rh_2$ were similar in both the freeze-dried and hot-air dried samples.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different steam condition and dehydration condition on physicochemical characteristics of Olbyeossal made from Waxy rice. All samples were steamed at $95-100^{\circ}C$ for 60 min or at $121^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and then were dehydrated using hot air 45, 60, $80^{\circ}C$ and sun-dried to achieve moisture contents 13-15%. Initial pasting temperature of Olbyeossal was the lower than that of nontreatment sample by parboiling. The combination in steaming $95-100^{\circ}C$ and hot drying at $45-60^{\circ}C$ was showed appropriate pasting properties compared with other condition. The hardness of Olbyeossal was significantly affected by steaming and dehydration condition. The hardness of Olbyeossal showed the higher value for steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ than $95-100^{\circ}C$. The water binding capacity (WBC) and swelling power (SP) were higher steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ than $95-100^{\circ}C$. No significant differences on WBC and SP of Olbyeossal by dehydration condition were observed. As the sensory evaluation results, the combination in steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ and hot-air drying at 45 or $80^{\circ}C$ led to increase preference for appearance, color, taste and overall acceptability. These results indicate that steaming and dehydration condition were affecting factor on physicochemical characteristics of Olbyeossal.
