This study investigated the influences of the beverage intake on food behavior and personality for 1295 adolescents. The results were as follows. The favorite beverage was 'fruit juice', and preference of 'coffee' was the lowest. 'Milk and dairy product' was highest and 'milkshake' was lowest in intake frequency of beverage. The preference correlated positively(r = 0.391) with the intake frequency of beverage, especially high in 'green tea and black tea'(r = 0.622), 'coffee'(r = 0.581), 'carbonated drink'(r = 0.538), and 'milk and dairy product'(r = 0.501). The explanation power(R2) of beverage preference on beverage intake was 0.153. The explanation power($R^2$) of beverage intake on food behavior was 0.127, and 'carbonated drink' and 'coffee' as well as 'milkshake' had a negative influence on food behavior: however, 'milk and dairy product', 'green tea and black tea', and 'fruit juice' had a positive influence on food behavior. The relationship of beverage intake and sociality was very low($R^2$= 0.013), and 'isotonic drink' and 'green tea and black tea' had a positive influence on sociality. The relationship between beverage intake and anger expression was also very low. 'Coffee' showed a positive relationship with anger-in. 'Carbonated drink' and 'milkshake' showed a positive result with anger-out. 'Milkshake' showed a negative relation with anger-control, but 'green tea and black tea' and 'milk and dairy product' showed a positive relation. From these results, it was necessary to develop the practical nutritioneducation program on proper beverage choice for adolescents leading to better metal and physical status.

Tea-fungus beverage(TB) was prepared with tea-fungus by fermentation for 2 weeks at 30 $^{\circ}C$. Functional properties of antibacterial activity, electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging ability were investigated in tea-fungus beverage(TB) and 5 times diluted tea-fungus beverage(DTB). Antibacterial activity against pathogenic E. coli and S. aureus was excellent in TB added pine needle, mycelia and fruiting body of Cordyceps japonioa while no activity in TB added persimmon leave tea. Electron donating ability of TB were ranged from 41％ to 87% in TB and were ranged from 11% to 63％ in DFB, high ability was in TB and DTB added pine needle and persimmon leave tea, while low ability in FB and DTB added mycelia and fruiting body of C. militaris. Nitrite scavenging ability was 63% in TB added black tea and 44% in TB added persimmon leave tea. Other ingredients added TB had weak nitrite scavenging ability.

In order to investigate the effect of Korean green tea, oolong tea and black tea beverage on the antioxidative detoxification in cadmium(Cd) poisoned rat liver, male Sprague-Dawley rat weighing 143$\pm$3.2g were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental groups were fed standard diet containing 40ppm Cd and were given distilled water(CD), 5% black tea(BT), oolong tea(OT) and green tea(GT), respectively. Tea beverages were extracted from 5G dry leaves of teas in 100ml hot distilled water by the treatment at 85$^{\circ}C$ for 3 min. Liver xanthine oxidase(XOD) activity was increased by the administration of Cd except GT group. Liver superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px), glutathione S-transferase(GST) activities were decreased by te administration of Cd but did not decreased by the administration of green tea(in GT group). Vitamin E and reduced glutathione contents were significantly decreased in Cd administered groups. Liver lipid peroxide value in Cd administered groups were increased compared to control group, but was not increased in GT group. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GOT) activities in CD, OT, BT groups were higher than control, but that in GT group was similar to control group. Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT) activity was not significantly different among various groups. It was concluded that green tea might alleviate peroxidative damage in Cd-administered rat liver by reinforcing antioxidative detoxification system.

In this experiment, citrus juice was fermented by Gluconacetobacter hansenii TF-2, an isolate from tea fungus to develop a new type of acidic beverage. The juice broth is made by fermenting of $11{\sim}17%$ (v/v) juice and sweetened with sucrose (initial sucrose $10^{\circ}Brix$). The fermentation by G. hansenii TF-2 was initiated by adding 5% (w/v) of seed gel (pellicle, tea fungus) which was previously cultured in the same medium (fresh juice broth) and the fermentation was carried out in a dark incubator at $28{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ for about 15 days. During the fermentation a pellicle grew on the surface of the fermenting fluid and acids were produced. Fermented fluid (beverage) was centrifuged at 7,000 rpm for 15 min for further analyses. The highest amount of the other metabolites including organic acids were observed in 5 to 10 days. Major acids were acetic acid (fermented citrus beverage, CB). After 15 days of fermentation, organic acid content such as acetic acid in fermented beverage was measured to be $183.5{\sim}186.6\;ppm$. Free sugars content in CB were 56.8%, 35.1%, 40.7% and 63.2% of unfermented sucrose, glucose, fructose and sorbitol, respectively. When the growth rate of inhibitory effect of the fermented beverage was measured by using several species of food-related bacteria, the beverage fermented with CB exhibited the strongest inhibition against gram-negative (E. coli and Sal. Typhimurium). Its inhibition rate was between $71.9{\sim}94.0%$ at CB. Fermented beverage has shown effectiveness for antimicrobial activity against some species of food-related bacteria.
