This study investigated the effects of Goami 2 on the properties of Garaetteok. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and crude ash contents of the rice were 16.02, 5.40, 1.87 and 0.77%, respectively. The amylose contents (32.16%) and total dietary fiber contents (9.03%) were the highest in Goami 2. The water binding capacity of Goami 2 (167.84%) was higher than general rice flour. Using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), the initial pasting temperature of Goami 2 was found to be the highest; also, the peak viscosities of Goami 2 were higher than general rice powder. To assess the effect of Goami 2 on the quality characteristics of Garaetteok, the rice-cake was made by adding various amounts of Goami 2 (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% w/w) to rice. It was observed that higher the amount of added Goami 2, lower were the grades. In terms of the color values of Goami 2 addition, the L-values of Garaetteok were lower with increasing amount of Goami 2; addition of 40% Goami 2 had the lowest value. The textural properties (hardness) also showed that tteok containing the greater amounts of Goami 2 were considerably harder compared with the control. Sensory preference tests revealed that addition of less Goami 2 had the highest scores for appearance, color and overall acceptability, and the Goami 2 added was lower than control. Therefore, as compared to others cultivars, rice flour proved the most acceptable for the preparation of Garaetteok with cultivar rice.

This study was conducted to soften the tough texture of retorted beef in storage by increasing the water holding capacity (WHC) after pretreatment involving soaking and blanching in a phosphate solution. The yield of pretreated beef, based on weight as an indirect indicator of WHC, soaked in 0.35% (w/w) complex phosphates for 1 h, increased by 5-10%, in contrast to the untreated control in which the rib and shank was heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 5-40 min. Additionally, strength of mechanical toughness in the fore rump and rib after phosphate curing at $115^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and blanching at $100^{\circ}C$ for 2 min were significantly decreased to 1.3 and $1.4kg_f$ (p<0.05) as compared to 2.0 and $1.8kg_f$ in the control, respectively. During storage of retorted beef for 30 days at $10^{\circ}C$, rib and shank pretreated with 0.35% complex phosphates exhibited a highly soft texture as compared to that of untreated beef. The softening of pretreated beef was based on the increased WHC due to complex phosphates.

As Korea is expected to become super high aged society in 2026, nutrition is important elements of health in the elderly and affects their life. In epidemiological surveys, anthropometric and biochemical measurements represent important components of nutritional assessment in elderly. In the present study, we investigated anthropometric index, biochemical markers, and nutrient intake for elderly aged over 85 by using data on 71 elderly (24 men, 47 women) over 85 years which was obtained from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2009. According to BMI values, the prevalence of underweight and obesity was 9.7% and 34.5% in men, and 7.9% and 26.4% in women. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 70.7% in men and 25.0% in women. However, plasma biochemical data are normal range in the older population. In nutrients intake, daily Intake of energy, protein, dietary fiber, water, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, and potassium was inadequate considering the Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans(KDRIs). In conclusion, elderly need to be educated nutrition and their health dietary life to prevent malnutrition, and standard of nutrition intake should be rearranged in elderly aged 85 over considering their antrhopometric index.

We have investigated the effects of cottonseed extract on the proliferation, differentiation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of local factors in murine clonal osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Ethanol extract of cotton seed ($4{\sim}63{\mu}g/mL$) significantly increased the proliferatin of MC3T3-E1 cells (p<0.05). Moreover, cottonseed extract ($10{\sim}50{\mu}g/mL$) caused a significant elevation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and collagen content in the cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent stimulator of bone resorption in inflammatory diseases. We examined the effect of cottonseed extract on the LPS-induced production of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-$\alpha$) and nitric oxide (NO) in MC3T3-E1 cells. Treatment with cottonseed extract ($10{\sim}50{\mu}g/mL$) decreased the $5{\mu}g/mL$ LPS-induced production of TNF-$\alpha$ and NO in osteoblasts, suggesting that the antiresorptive action of cottonseed extract may be mediated by decrease in these local factors. This study suggests that cottenseed may contribute to antiresorptive action against osteoblastic cells, resulting in a beneficial effect in promoting the function of osteoblastic cells.

This experiment was carried out to evaluated biological availability of calcium inthe sea mustard, sea tangle and sea lettuce in the rats. Standard diets were made to supply 0.3% of Ca from CaCO3. Consequently, levels each test ingredients to be added were sets by their Cacontents. The ingredients such as sea mustard, sea tangle and sea lettuce wereadded to basal diet at levels of 15.23%, 12.66% and 23.42% respectively. Ingredients of the basal diet were soybean protein, corn oil, alpha-cellulose, methionine, choline cholride and vitamin and mineral premix. Dextrose was added at level up to 100%. Amount of soybean protein was adjustable to make all the diets isontrogenous. Rats were fed ad libitum the diets for 13 days. The results were summarized as follow: 1. Serum calcium levels of the sea mustard group(15.23%) were higher than those of the other group, but rats fed sea lettuce diets appeared to have the lowest value. 2. Ca concentration in tibia were lower in rats fed with sea lettuce, rather than in those with standard diet. 3. Ca concentration in femur of the rats fed seaweeds did not show any significant difference among groups. 4. In the liver weight in groups fed on the all experimental groups were decreased more than that in the case of the standard diet groups.

We investigated the physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of tomato porridge with different ratios (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) of tomato powder in order to determine its potential health benefits. Tomato porridge samples were measured to obtain 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with the addition of tomato powder. The moisture contents of samples ranged from 81% to 78%. The L-value decreased, while a- and b-values increased, as the amount of tomato powder in the porridge increased. Also, the pH of samples decreased with increasing quantity of tomato powder. Based on sensory evaluations, the tomato powder intensified color, flavor, taste, appearance, viscosity and overall acceptability of the porridge. The sample that comprised 6% tomato powder had the highest color, flavor, taste, appearance and overall acceptability scores. Consequently, this research found that incorporating this percentage of tomato powder into the rice flour was the best formula for tomato porridge.
