To develop a functional juice using garlic (Allium sativum L.), heated garlic juice was investigated using a central composite design set with variables of treatment temperature (110, 115, 120, 125, and $130^{\circ}C$) and time (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hr) using high temperature and pressure treatment apparatuses. Total soluble solid, total acidity, reducing sugar, total pholyphenol contents, electron donating activity (EDA), and ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC) in heated garlic juice were increased with increasing heating temperature and time. The highest total soluble solid content was $17.81\;^{\circ}brix$ at $123.10^{\circ}C$ for 1.10 hr. The highest total acidity was 1.43% at $127.35^{\circ}C$ for 4.35 hr. The highest reducing sugar content was 86.67 mg/mL at $119.90^{\circ}C$ for 4.35 hr. The highest total polyphenol content was 8.42 mg/mL at $127.75^{\circ}C$ for 4.26 hr. The highest EDA and AEAC were 60.09%, and 7.40 mg AA eq/mL at $127.85^{\circ}C$ for 4.23 hr, and $128.10^{\circ}C$ for 4.18 hr, respectively.

The anti-oxidant activities and ${\beta}$-glucan contents of wild mushrooms collected from Songnisan, Soi-myeon, Joryeongsan, and Ganghwado, Korea, were investigated. Among the wild mushroom extracts, Pycnoporus sanguineus (OK1071), Piptoporus soloniensis (OK1090), and Daedalea dickinsii (OK1094) extracts showed the highest DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities. The nitrite scavenging activity and total polyphenol content of the extract of P. sanguineus (OK1071) was 74.2% and 37.7 mg GAE/g, respectively, and these values were much higher than those of the other mushrooms analyzed in this study. The Pearson's correlation coefficients of the DPPH radical and nitrite scavenging activities with the total polyphenol contents of the wild mushroom extracts were r = 0.758 (p < .01) and r = 0.951 (p < .01), respectively. The ${\beta}$-glucan contents of Lenzites betulina (OK1040), Trametes versicolor (OK1044), and P. sanguineus (OK1071) were 47.8%, 43.9%, and 41.8%, respectively, which were higher than those of the other mushrooms. Therefore, the wild mushrooms analyzed were confirmed to have excellent antioxidant activities and high ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Accordingly, the fundamental data provided in this study can be used to isolate useful compounds from these wild mushrooms.

This study was carried out to analyze the physiological activities of wild mushroom extracts collected from the Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheongbuk-do provinces in Korea. Among the wild mushroom extracts, those of Clitocybe robusta and Leucopaxillus giganteus (OK829) showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activities. Nitrite scavenging activity of the L. giganteus extract (OK811) was determined to be 64.1%, which is considerably higher than those of the other mushroom extracts analyzed in this study. The total polyphenol levels in Suillus granulatus, L. giganteus (OK829), and Amanita manginiana extracts were found to be 19.7 mg GAE/g, 20.2 mg GAE/g, and 22.3 mg GAE/g, respectively. To determine their anti-inflammatory effects, nitric oxide production, and cell viability, NO measurement and MTT assays were performed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. The levels of nitric oxide (NO) produced by the C. robusta and Hypholoma fasciculare extracts were remarkably lower than those produced by the others. In our MTT assay, the extracts of S. granulatus, L. giganteus (OK811), and Lactarius chrysorrheus showed high cell viabilities of 40.3%, 48.3%, and 43.2%, respectively. These results can provide the fundamental data for extracting useful compounds from wild mushrooms.
