This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of black Doragi-apple juice to increase the utilization of Doragi, which is known as a high-functional horticultural crop. To prepare the black Doragi, it was steamed for 15 days at $60^{\circ}C$ and was then dried at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The five types of black Doragi-apple juice were prepared based on different mixing ratios of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract. The mixing ratios of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract were 3:3:1, 4:2:1, 2:4:1, 2:2:1, and 2:6:1 for samples A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. The pH and acidity of black Doragi-apple juice were within the ranges of 3.9-4.15 and 1.26-1.51%, respectively. Black Doraji-apple juice E showed the highest sugar content (9.33 $^{\circ}Brix$), reducing sugar content (85.05 mg/mL), and sugar content/acid ratio (6.98). Based on the sensory evaluation, sample C was most preferable in terms of color, taste, sugar-acid ratio, and overall preference, except for the flavor. Black Doragi-apple juice D showed a higher total polyphenol content (706 ${\mu}g/mL$) than sample C (586.22 ${\mu}g/mL$), but there was no statistically significant difference between samples C and D in terms of antioxidant activities. Therefore, it is suggested that the best mixing ratio of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract for the production of the best black Doragi-apple juice with excellent taste and antioxidant activities is 2:4:1 (sample C).

Physicochemical characteristics of black garlic were analyzed. Colorimetry measurement showed that the black garlic, compared with fresh and steamed garlics, was the highest in a value and the lowest in L and b values. Crude lipid, crude protein, and total sugars were the highest in black garlic, which was followed by steamed and fresh garlic. On the other hand, moisture content was the lowest in the black garlic and the highest in the fresh garlic. The pH of garlics was ca. 6.8, 6.5, and 4.4 in fresh, steamed, and black garlic, respectively, which indicated that garlics tended to be acidified with the thermal processing. Total pyruvate and total thiosulfinates were the lowest in steamed garlic ($77{\mu}mol$/g and 0.07 OD/g for each) and the highest in black garlic ($278{\mu}mol$/g and 0.77 OD/g). Arabinose and galactose were detected only in black garlic and their contents were 1.6 and 13 mg/100 g, respectively. Free sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose were the highest in the order of fresh, steamed, and black garlic. Potassium was a predominant mineral in all garlics, constituting 76% of total minerals. Glutamic acid, arginine, and aspartic acid were the major composition amino acids in all garlics, regardless of processing conditions. 15 kinds of free amino acids were detected in fresh and steamed garlic, while five more free amino acids, O-phosphoethanolamine, and urea were additionally detected in black garlic.

Objective: Beef of Jeju black cattle (JBC) is considered as a healthy meat type due to its significantly higher unsaturated fatty acids (UFA). Lipid (e.g., UFA) is highly susceptible to oxidizing agents, which results in the quality deterioration and economic value loss of meat products. Therefore, development and application of novel preservative techniques is necessary to improve the shelf-life stability of high-UFA beef. The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of chitosan-based coatings in preservation of JBC beef. Methods: Different coating solutions: 2% chitosan alone, and 2% chitosan containing 0.1% or 0.3% gallic acid were prepared to investigate their applicability in preservation of fresh beef during storage. Jeju black cattle beef (2-cm thick steaks) were non-coated (control) or coated with the above coating solutions, placed on trays, over-wrapped with plastic film and stored at 4℃. The microbiological indices, color, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) and lipid oxidation of the beef were investigated after 1, 10, and 21 days of storage. Results: Coating with 2% chitosan alone reduced the spoilage bacteria count, TVBN and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels in the beef compared with control during storage (p<0.05). Noticeably, coating with 2% chitosan containing 0.1% or 0.3% gallic acid was more effective on retardation of spoilage bacteria growth, lipid oxidation and discoloration in the beef compared to the chitosan coating alone over the storage period (21 days) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, the combined chitosan and gallic acid coating could be used as a bio-preservative technique in the meat industry.

This study was performed to examine the quality and antioxidant activity of muffin containing black garlic extract powder that was stored for 9 days at room temperature. Black garlic extract powder was added to the muffin batter at concentrations of 0, 1, 4, 8, and 12%. Specific gravities of muffin batters increased as black garlic extract powder increased, whereas, height and specific volume of the muffins decreased. For the color of muffin crust and crumb, lightness decreased as the level of garlic extract powder increased, whereas redness and yellowness increased. For sensory evaluation, the color, flavor, softness, and chewiness of the muffins containing 1% black garlic extract powder were superior compared to those of other samples. Scores for taste and overall acceptability were the highest in muffin containing 4% black garlic extract powder. The antioxidant activity of muffins measured by DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay increased as the level of black garlic extract powder increased. Further, the TBARS(thiobarbutric acid reactive substance) content of the muffins containing various levels of black garlic extract powder was lower than that of control.

This study was performed to confirm of characteristics of Sulgidduk containing different amounts of black garlic extract: 0% (T0), 1% (T1), 5% (T5), 10% (T10) or 15% (T15). Samples were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities. According to the results, increasing the level of black garlic extract in the formulation caused the moisture contents of the sample to decrease (38.66~36.79%). Additionally, the L value decreased while the a and b values increased as the contents of black garlic extract in sample increased. Analysis of the texture of Sulgidduk containing different amounts of black garlic extract, found that hardness, gumminess, and adhesiveness decreased, whereas springiness increased; cohesiveness and chewiness did not significantly change. The antioxidant activities of Sulgidduk containing different amounts of black garlic extract were evaluated by measuring 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and, 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities. In these assays, the Sulgidduk containing different amounts of black garlic extract presented significant radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner.

UV-induced surface copolymerization has been widely applied as a simple, useful and versatile approach to improve the surface properties of textiles. C.I. Reactive Black 5 and acrylic acid (AA) were continuously grafted onto cotton by UV irradiation. The photografting may occur by the copolymerization of AA with the vinylsulfone reactive dye which photochemically converted from the bissulfatoethylsulfone reactive group. The graft yield and color yield were influenced by UV energy, the dye and photoinitiator concentrations, a mole ratio of AA to dye, and pH. The coloration of cotton fabrics having a K/S of 7.0 can be obtained under a UV irradiation energy of 15$J/cm^2$ by the photografting of an aqueous alkaline formulation of 6% dye concentration containing 3% photoinitiator concentration on the weight of monomers, and a 3:1 mole ratio addition of AA to the dye. Furthermore, the photochemically dyed cotton fabrics showed comparable washing (staining) and rubbing fastness to conventional reactive dyeing method except shade change in the wash fastness and light fastness.

Volatile flavor components (VFCs) in cooked black rices (Suwon-415 and Chindo) were studied. The major reactions during cooking, which result in aroma volatiles, are the Maillard reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, and thermal degradation of lipid. Black rices washed with water were soaked in 1.5 folds water and heated at $110^{\circ}C$ in oil bath for 30min. VFCs in cooked black rices were extracted for three hours by SDE and were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. A total of 91, 82 volatiles were identified in Suwon-415 and Chindo black rice, respectively. Suwon-415 was composed of 26 alcohols, 10 aldehydes, 5 acids, 11 esters, 15 ketones, 9 hydrocarbons, 3 furans, 3 nitrogen containing compounds and 9 sulfur containing compounds. Chindo was composed of 28 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 4 acids, 12 esters, 14 ketones, 5 hydrocarbons, 3 furans, 3 nitrogen containing compounds and 4 sulfur containing compounds.
