  • This study was carried out to develop a traditional functional beverage by using hot-water extraction of dried peels of Korean tangerine. The pH of the hot-water extracts of dried tangerine peels decreased as the extraction time increased. The acidity and viscosity of the extracts increased as the extraction time increased. The antioxidative activity of the extracts during the extraction was monitored by measuring the electron donating ability. The electron donating abilities of the extracts were in the range of 80.93-83.27%. Extraction time did not affect the antioxidative activity of the extracts. The fibrinolytic activity of the extracts increased as the extraction time increased. The pH of the beverage made with the peel extract was not affected by the extraction time and the kind of sweetener added. The viscosity of the beverage increased as the extraction time increased. In sensory evaluation the highest score was obtained in the beverage samples made with the ones extracted for 180 min and added with sugar. The aboveresults indicate that the dried peel of Korean tangerine can be used as a functional material in beverage industry.

  • In this study, we investigated the names and various types of "kwa-jung" along with their recipes and ingredients occurring in Korean cookbooks published before the 17th century. The kwa-jungs were classified into 7 groups including Yoomilkwa, Yookwa, Dasik, Junkwa, Kwapyun, Yutganjung and Dang. A total of 72 kinds of kwa-jung were found. 26 kinds of Yoomilkwa, 18 kinds of Yookwa, 7 kinds of Dasik, 10 kinds of Junkwa, 1 kind of Kwapyun, 3 kinds of Yutganjung and 8 kinds of Dang. Among the types of Yoomilkwa, Yackwa was recognized as the best food according to the references. Also the cooking methods for items had a tendency to become simpler as society became modernized. Original and rare Ingredients were often substituted with other items that could be found more easily where people lived As recorded, the Yookwa group included kangyung, sanja, and bingsakwa. And as society became modernized, people tended to buy Yookwa in the store rather than making it at home due to its complicated and often difficult cooking process. The Dasik items were a kneaded mixture of flour, or the flour of chestnuts, with honey. These were formed into various patterns like birds, animals, butterflies, tree leaves and flowers, or as ki-wha by using printing cooking utensils Honey was used as a sweetener and as a combining material. The Junkwa consisted of roots or fruits that could be easily obtained these cooked or raw foodstuffs were then mixed with sugar and simmered. The Kwapyun used sour fruit juices as a main ingredient. These were then combined with sugar and simmered and allowed to harden. Then they were cut into square shapes after cooling. Yutkangjung was a mixture of yut, chochung, honey or syrup and pine nuts. which was combined over low heat. After mixing and stirring it was cut into square shapes. Finally, the Yut was typically cooked with grains and powdered malt and stirred until thickened.

  • This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity and total polyphnol content of Greek-style yogurt in 12% solid content with added stevia leaf extracts. Stevia leaf extracts used as sweetener in preparing Greek-style yogurt were prepared in hot water ($100^{\circ}C$ for 6 h 3 times, and by 70% fermented ethanol for 24 h at room temperature 3 times). The antioxidant activities were measured by assessing the radical scavenging effect through DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. To identify the compounds present, total polyphenol content was evaluated using a Folin-Dennis assay. The capability to scavenge free radicals and total polyphenolic content were the highest in Greek-style yogurt containing 1% stevia extract and fermented in 70% ethanol. According to the results, antioxidant activities significantly increased when high concentration of stevia extracts were added to the yogurt (p<0.05). Therefore, these results suggest that stevia leaf extracts can be used as a source of functional compounds in Greek-style yogurt. We also suggest that fermented ethanol extraction can be used to obtain stevia leaf extracts.

  • Neohesperidin is a natural new nutrition sweetener, widely existing in plants of dry citrus peel, which can be derived from extraction. Since the sweetness is 1,300-1,500 times greater than that of sugar, neohesperidin are widely used in fruit juices, wines, beverages, bakeries and pharmaceutical formulations, and are particularly suitable for consumption by diabetic patients. However, the yield of extraction from citrus peel waste is very low. In this study optimal yield conditions were determinedusing response surface methodology (RSM) in order to increase the neohesperidin extraction yield. The critical factors for maximum extraction yield were selected extraction pressure ($x_1$), extraction time ($x_2$), and concentration of ethanol ($x_3$). As a result, the extraction yield was improved when the extracting pressure increased. The extraction yield also increased in a time-dependent manner. When adding ethanol as an assistance solvent to the supercritical carbon dioxide, extraction yield was increased as more ethanol concentration was added. Finally, the extraction yield of neohesperidin was improved to about 162.22% compared to ethanol extraction as a conventional method.

  • 예로부터 인간은 단맛에 강한 욕구를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 설탕, 포도당, 과당 등 단맛이 강한 감미료를 선호하여 왔고, 현재까지도 식품 제조시 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 국민의 건강에 대한 관심이 고조 되고 설탕으로 대표되는 전통적인 일반 감미료의 충치, 비만, 당뇨병 유발 등의 부정적인 측면이 부각되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 식품에 대한 건강 기능성이 강조되면서 기능성 감미료가 주목 받고 있다. 특히 고도의 경제성장 및 국민 소득의 향상에 따라 차별화된 기능성 감미료의 생산을 요구하는 실정이다. 이와 관련하여, 현재 식품 산업계에서는 올리고당류, 당알콜류, 고감미 감미료류 등에 많은 관심을 가지고 연구 개발에 집중하고 있다. 올리고당류의 대표적인 제품은 프락토올리고당, 갈락토올리고당, 이소말토올리고당 등이다. 현재 올리고단 시장은 성숙기로서 성장속도가 둔화되고 있으나, 최근 American Association of Cereal Chemists(AACC)등 세계적인 협회에서 수용성 식이섬유를 다당류, 올리고당, 리그닌 등을 포함하여 새롭게 정의하였고 이에 따라 해외에서는 프락토올리고당을 중심으로 수용성 식이섬유로 용도 사용이 가능하게 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 식이섬유로 표기도 가능하게 되어 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 국내에서는 아직 올리고당을 식이섬유로 사용하지는 못하고 있으나, 식품 공전 개정을 통해 식이섬유로 표기 가능하도록 수정될 전망이다. 당알콜류는 솔비톨 및 자일리톨이 주류를 이루고 있다. 솔비톨은 시장에 가장 먼저 소개된 당알콜류인데 저가여서 그동안 가장 큰 시장을 형성하고 있었으나 최근 3년 동안 자일리톨껌이 최대의 히트 상품이 되면서 자일리톨이 급성장하였다. 그 외에는 만니톨, 에리스리톨, 말티톨, 이소말트 등이 있다. 최근에는 말티톨을 중심으로 다양한 응용 연구 및 이소말트 및 에리스리톨 등을 생산 판매하고 있는 다국적 기업의 판촉 활동 등으로 당알콜류 시장의 새로운 변화가 예상된다. 고감미 감미료류는 스테비오사이드와 아스파탐이 주류를 이루고 있었지만, 최근 아세설팜 K 및 수크랄로스가 잇따라 식품으로써 사용 허가를 받으면서 시장이 재편되고 있다. 하지만, 해외에 비하여 국내의 고감미 감미료 시장은 매우 작고 성장률도 낮은 편인데 그 이유로는 국민 정서상 천연이 아닌 합성에 대한 부정적 인식과 맛에 대한 거부감 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 이와 관련하여 최근에는 다양한 감미질 및 Multi sweetener system 연구를 통해 설탕과 유사한 맛을 내는 혼합 기술 개발에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 향후에는 해외의 선진국과 같이 고감미 감미료 시장도 점차적으로 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 기타 대체 감미료로는 타가토스, 트레할로스, 아라비노스 등이 있다. 이중에서 특히 해외에서 크게 기대를 모으고 있는 타가토스는 최근 국내 인증을 받아 시장 진출을 준비 중에 있다. 아라비노스는 양질의 감미를 갖는 천연 펜토오스인데 연구용 시약 이외에는 지금까지 거의 이용되지 않았다. 그러나 최근 아라비노스가 설탕의 소화흡수를 선택적으로 억제한다는 흥미 있는 결과가 임상 및 동물실험에서 확인되어 향후 제품으로써 개발을 기대할 수 있게 되었다. 이들 감미료는 기존 설탕이 가지는 문제점을 많은 부분 극복할 것으로 여겨지며, 이로 인해 수요는 점차 증가할 것으로 생각되며, 높은 경제적 부가 가치를 창출할 것으로 예상되어 진다. 생산 기술 적인 측면에서 건강 지향적 천연소재 감미료에 대한 선호가 날로 증가하는 추세에 따라 기존에 주로 사용되었던 화학합성법보다는 천연 이미지의 생물공학적인 방법에 의한 감미료 생산이 각광을 받을 것으로 예상된다. 생물공학적인 방법을 감미료 소재 개발에 응용하게 되면, 기존에 사용되었던 화학합성법 등이 가지는 환경적인 문제, 반응 부산물 생성에 따른 분리, 정제에서의 비용증가 등의 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 여겨지며, 고정화 방법의 도입 등을 통해 생산성 향상을 도모할 수 있다. 본 장에서는 감미료 소재 개발에 건강 지향적 국민 정서를 반영하고, 국내외 감미료 시장의 흐름을 파악하여 당류 산업의 발전적인 변화에 대처하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 당류산업의 고부가가치 첨단산업으로서의 육성방안을 논의하고자 하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to prepare blueberry syrup (cheung) using fructooligosaccharide instead of the traditionally used sucrose. The sugar content, pH, and colorimetric values were measured to evaluate the quality of the prepared syrup, and the antioxidant activity and phenolic compound content were determined to assess the physiological activity of the syrup. The $L^{\ast}$ value (lightness), pH, and color were high in syrups containing a high proportion of fructooligosaccharide. The $a^{\ast}$ value (redness) was high in syrups subjected to heat treatment, and the $b^{\ast}$ value (yellowness) tended to be the opposite of the $L^{\ast}$ value. Moreover, syrups containing heat-treated fructooligosaccharide showed higher polyphenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents than the unheated syrups did. The antioxidant activity of the blueberry cheung depended on the content of phenolic compounds. The highest value was obtained in the cheung prepared using a heat-treated 1:1 mixture of blended raw blueberry and fructooligosaccharide (S2). These findings suggest that our familiarity with the taste of the sweetener used influences our taste preference. It is therefore necessary to study other newly developed sweeteners apart from fructooligosaccharide to find a suitable alternative to sucrose.

  • Physicochemical properties of hydroxypropylated rice starches were investigated. Swelling power of hydroxypropylated rice starch increased at relatively lower temperature than native rice starch. Solubility of hydroxypropylated rice starch was lower (1.9-13.4%) than that of native rice starch (2.2-13.8%), and increased with increasing amount of propylene oxide. Pasting temperature ($66.2-70.8^{\circ}C$) and peak viscosity (2,843-3,395cp) of hydroxypropylated rice starch were lower than those of native starch ($71.6^{\circ}C,\;3,976\;cp$) and decreased with increasing amount of propylene oxide, regardless of reaction time. DSC thermal transitions of hydroxypropylated rice starches shifted toward lower temperature. Amylopectin-melting enthalpy of hydroxypropylated rice starch decreased (11.8-9.8J/g) with increasing amount of propylene oxide and was lower than that of native starch (11.9 J/g). These results indicate hydroxypropylation lowered swelling power and gelatinization temperatures of rice starch, because internal bonds of rice starch molecules were sterically weaken by substituted hydroxypropyl groups.

  • Fish-frames, which are left after obtaining fillets or muscle during fish processing, consists of useful food components, such as muscle, collagen, calcium, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This study was carried out to prepare snack using conger eel frame (SF) for human consumption and also to elucidate food component characterization of the snack. The results of volatile basic nitrogen suggested that conger eel frame was a suitable material for preparing snack. Based on the results of sensory evaluation and costs, starch syrup was an optimal sweetener for preparing snack using conger eel frame. The starch syrup-treated SF appeared safe because the moisture content and peroxide value were below the safety limits described in the guideline of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Starch syrup-treated SF was similar in the pattern of fatty acid composition to soybean oil, whereas EPA and DHA were detected in SF. The total content of amino acid in starch syrup-treated SF was 23.9% based on 100 g of raw material. The maj or amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and alanine. The total contents of calcium and phosphorus in starch syrup-treated SF were 4.9% and 2.8%, respectively. The Ca/P of starch syrup-treated SF was 1.9, which is a good ratio for absorption of calcium. The SF made with starch syrup was superior in EPA and DHA compositions, total amino acid, calcium and phosphorus contents to commercial snack using eel frame.

  • The leaves of $Stevia$ $rebaudiana$ are well-known in Japan, Korea, and China as a natural sweetener. Medicinal uses of this plant originated in Paraguay and Brazil in the form of aqueous decoctions of the leaves used as a contraceptive agent and for the treatment of hyperglycemia. In the present study, the antioxidant, anti-hypertension, and anti-inflammatory activities of $S.$ $rebaudiana$ extracts are investigated for their use in food. The biologically-active compound was isolated and purified from $S.$ $rebaudiana$. The isolated compound was identified as austroinulin ($C_{20}H_{34}O_3$; molecular weight 322) by mass, IR spectrophotometry, 1D, and 2D-NMR. Austroinulin was characterized as a diterpenoid possessing a 3-methylpenta-2,4-dienyl at C-9. When subjected to an inflammatory mediator inhibitory assay from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages, the austroinulin inhibited the enhanced production of nitric oxide (NO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression (10 ${\mu}g$/mL=67.9 and 45.1%, respectively). This was significant and dose-dependent. The results suggest that austroinulin from $S.$ $rebaudiana$ inhibited the NO and iNOS in RAW 264.7 cells.

  • Ginseng-whey beverages were prepared with rennet whey, ginseng, sweetener, honey and Japanese apricot, inoculated with different strains of lactic acid bacteria or unfermented partly. The samples were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ or 30$\pm$1$0^{\circ}C$ and then physicochemical and microbiological properties were investigated. The yield of whey was 78.8%. The pH-values reduced and acidities increased during the storage period. The contents of solid-substances, ash and lipid in ginseng-whey beverages were 7.90~8.20%, 0.62~0.66% and 0.16%, respectively. The protein contents of ginseng-whey beverages were 0.42~0.56% and the contents were not changed during the storage period. The lactose contents of fermented beverages were higher than those of unfermented beverages. During the storage period (1~5 weeks), the ranges of D(-) - and L(+)- lactic acid contents in fermented ginseng-whey beverages (17.3~156.1 mg/100g, 347.3~1894.2mg/100g) were higher than those of unfermented ginseng-whey beverages (6.2~82.8mg/100g, 7.1~885.5mg/100g). The contents of total saponin in unfermented sample and fermented sample (Lac. casei sub-sp. casei+Str. salivarius sub-sp. thermophilus) were increased during the storage period. But, those of the fermented sample(Lac. acidophilus+Lac. delbrueckii sub-sp. bulgaricus) were reduced. In the electrophoretic results of ginseng-whey beverages, an $\alpha$-lactalbumin and a $\beta$-lactoglobulin bands were shown apparently and there were no changes observed during the storage period. During the storage period (1~3 week) the coliform was not detected and total plate counts and psychrotrophs were increased according to the storage period.
