  • The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratio of hot-air dried loquat leaf powder and optimum conditions for making Jeolpyun containing hot-air dried loquat leaf powder (LLP). Samples of Jeolpyun were prepared with different contents of hot-air dried LLP (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%) followed by analysis of chemical properties, moisture contents, color, mechanical quality characteristics, amylograph, and sensory tests. Chemical analysis showed that hot-air dried LLP consisted of 11.41% water, 8.34% crude protein, 1.90% crude fat, 7.74% crude ash, and 16.95% crude fiber, with $^{\circ}Brix$ of 2.07, and pH of 5.78. Moisture contents of samples ranged from 52.22 to 50.06%. L-value decreased with addition of hot-air dried LLP, whereas a-value increased with increasing amount of hot-air dried LLP, and no significant differences were observed regarding b-value. In the mechanical evaluation of physical properties, hardness deceased with increasing amount of hot-air dried LLP. The starting temperature amylograph of Jeolpyun was higher in samples with hot-air dried LLP than those without hot-air dried LLP. Set back was slower with increasing amount of hot-air dried LLP, an increasing amount of hot-air dried LLP made set back of Jeolpyun slower. In the sensory test, Jeolpyun with 6% hot-air dried LLP was the most preferred with less bitterness and proper softness, moisture and chewiness. Therefore, addition of 6% hot-air dried LLP to Jeolpyun made with rice flour showed the best overall preference. Based on the results of this experiment, samples with hot-air dried LLP showed slower hardening than those without hot-air dried LLP in textural changes during storage, and Jeolpyun with 6% hot-air dried LLP is expected to increase quality and preference of Jeolpyun.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal sound absorption conditions by comparing the sound absorption characteristics of fresh and air-dried leaves of Quercus glauca, the main species of evergreen broadleaf trees (EBLT) in southern Korea. The sound absorption coefficients (SACs) obtained under 18 conditions were comparatively analyzed. The SAC of air-dried leaves improved significantly with increasing leaf layer thickness. The highest average SAC in the fresh leaf group was 0.617, which was observed under the condition of a leaf specimen size of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2 and a leaf layer thickness of 1.75 cm. In a group of air-dried leaves, this was 0.615 under the condition of a leaf specimen size of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2 and a leaf layer thickness of 2.50 cm. The maximum value of SAC for each wavelength was observed under the condition of a leaf layer thickness of 2.50 cm consisting of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2 leaf specimens, ranging from 1,400 Hz to 1,500 Hz.

  • Chemical compositions were investigated by harvested months and produced methods. The level of crude protein and crude ash of ginseng leaf tea harvested in July was slightly higher than it harvested in September. However, the level of crude fat and carbohydrate of ginseng leaf tea harvested in September were higher than it harvested in July. The results indicated that the harvest month influenced the chemical composition of the ginseng leaf tea. Also, the level of free sugar was increased when the ginseng leaf team harvested in September was produced by FHT(fermented and then hot-air dried) or HHT(heated and then hot-air dried). The results indicated that the subjects were preferred the color of ginseng leaf tea which was harvested in July. However, they were preferred the aroma and ginseng's aroma which was harvested and produced by HHT in September. Because they responded that the ginseng leaf tea tasted too bitter, it suggested that the taste of bitterness needed to remove. Also, the astringent, the savory, after aroma, and after say cry of the ginseng leaf tea was improved with FHT or HHT, and those results obtained from September's harvest rather than July's. Therefore, the overall quality of ginseng leaf tea which was harvested in September and produced with FHT or HHT were evaluated better than it of DHT(dried on the shade and then hot-air dried).

  • This research was conducted to analyze the sound absorption effect of air-dried leaves from two evergreen tree species found in Korea's warm-temperate and subtropical regions. As eco-friendly sound absorption materials, Dendropanax morbiferusa, and Fatsia japonica leaves were prepared in three specimen units sizes 0.5 × 0.5 cm2, 1.0 × 1.0 cm2, and 2.0 × 2.0 cm2, and each of them was formed at a thickness of 1.00 cm, 1.75 cm, and 2.50 cm. The measured sound absorption coefficients (SAC) for 18 conditions were comparatively analyzed in this study. The SAC of both tree species was significantly improved by increasing the dried leaf layer thickness. These results showed a more consistent and distinct trend for both tree species under the condition of 0.5 cm2 in dried leaf size compared to other leaf specimen sizes. However, as the thickness increased, the difference in sound absorption effect according to the leaf size tends to decrease overall. In the case of D. morbiferus, there was no significant difference in SAC based on leaf size under the condition of 2.5 cm thickness (p < 0.05). The highest mean SAC was found in a 2.5 cm thick condition with a leaf size of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2, 0.549 for D. morbiferusa, and 0.594 for F. japonica, respectively.

  • Dried apple bugak, a traditional Korean dried food, was made using superfine powders of glutinous rice (GR), non-glutinous rice (NGR), and Wasabia koreana Nakai leaf (WKNL) as coating materials. This study aimed to determine the effect of coating sliced apples with superfine GR powders substitute with superfine NGR and WKNL powders at different ratios. Apple slices coated with superfine GR, NGR and WKNL powders were air-fried and compared with dried and air-fried apple bugak coated with superfine GR powders. The results showed that coating apple slices with superfine GR powders with the addition of superfine NGR and WKNL powders significantly increased oil absorption capacity and antioxidant activity but reduced viscosity, water absorption capacity, total polyphenol, total flavonoids contents, and improved color and structural improvements. Among all the samples, 80:20:5-treated (GR:NGR:WKNL) dried and air-fried bugak showed enhanced quality characteristics. Thus, the results suggested that coating apple slices by the substituting GR superfine rice powders with 10 or 20% of NGR and 3 or 5% of WKNL superfine powders produces good quality dried and air-fried bugak with nutritious characteristics.

  • This study produced hot-air-dried perilla leaf to add Korea's popular perilla leaf to fresh noodles to examine their value as food and get the best fresh noodle recipe by adding 0%, 3%. 6%, 9%, and 12% of perilla leaf to flour. The moisture content of the dough was highest at 34.41% for the control group with 0% perilla leaf, whereas the pH was lowest at 5.59 for the dough with 12% perilla leaf. As a result of WRC analysis of the dough, moisture absorption increased with greater perilla leaf content. The moisture content of fresh noodles was lowest for the control group with 0% perilla leaf, whereas the pH was highest for the control group. The L, a, and b values of the dough were highest for the group with 0% perilla leaf powder. Hardness and cohesiveness were lowest for the 0% group and springiness tended to decrease with increased amounts of hot air-dried perilla leaf. The number of microorganisms decreased significantly with greater perilla leaf content on the third and fourth days. As a result of the sensory test, the 6% dough showed the highest scores for all items including appearance, flavor, color, taste, and texture. Overall acceptability was also highest at 7.20 for the 6% dough and lowest at 3.27 for the 12% dough. Based on the above results, when producing fresh noodles by adding hot-air-dried perilla leaf powder, inhibition of microorganisms improved with greater perilla leaf content for longer storage, but the sensory properties were best when 6% perilla leaf content was added.

  • Panax ginseng (PG) is a globally utilized medicinal herb. The medicinal effects of PG are primarily attributable to ginsenosides located in the root and leaf. The leaves of PG are known to be rich in various bioactive ginsenosides, and the therapeutic effects of ginseng extract and ginsenosides have been associated with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. We examined the effect of PG leaf extract and the isolated ginsenosides, on nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$transcriptional activity and target gene expression by applying a luciferase assay and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$-treated hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. Air-dried PG leaf extract inhibited TNF-${\alpha}$-induced NF-${\kappa}B$transcription activity and NF-${\kappa}B$-dependent cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression more efficiently than the steamed extract. Of the 10 ginsenosides isolated from PG leaves, Rd and Km most significantly inhibited activity in a dose-dependent manner, with $IC_{50}$ values of $12.05{\pm}0.82$ and $8.84{\pm}0.99\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Furthermore, the ginsenosides Rd and Km inhibited the TNF-${\alpha}$-induced expression levels of the COX-2 and iNOS gene in HepG2 cells. Air-dried leaf extracts and their chemical components, ginsenoside Rd and Km, are involved in the suppression of TNF-${\alpha}$-induced NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and NF-${\kappa}B$-dependent iNOS and COX-2 gene expression. Consequently, air-dried leaf extract from PG, and the purified ginsenosides, have therapeutic potential as anti-inflammatory.

  • In this study, we investigated the physicochemical quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of water extracts ($20^{\circ}C$ and $95^{\circ}C$) against different parts (leaf and petiole) from Wasabia japonica (wasabi). Water extracts were divided into six types of wasabi powders: leaf hot air dried (LD), petiole hot air dried (PD), whole (leaf+petiole) hot air dried (WD), leaf steamed and hot air dried (LSD), petiole steamed and hot air dried (PSD), and whole steamed and hot air dried (WSD). Turbidity was higher in wasabi $20^{\circ}C$ water extracts than in $95^{\circ}C$ hot water extracts. Browning degree was higher in wasabi leaf extracts than in petiole extracts. The pH of hot water extraction was lower than that of room temperature extraction. Wasabi extracts did not show much difference in Hunter's color values according to extraction temperature, expected that b value of yellowness was significantly higher in leaf extracts than in petiole extracts. Carbazole pectin contents of leaf extracts were significantly higher than in petiole extracts, however water soluble pectin was higher in petiole extracts. The total polyphenol contents of LD20 and LD95 were 1,561.43 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g and 1,163.02 mg GAE/100 g, respectively, and total polyphenols decreased during hot water extraction. Extracts from different parts of wasabi showed a significant difference in total flavonoid contents. Total flavonoid contents of LD20, LD95, PD20, and PD95 were 554.44 mg/100 g, 396.65 mg/100 g, 55.42 mg/100 g, and 47.68 mg/100 g, respectively. In the sensory evaluation, LD95 extract showed significantly higher values than other samples in terms of color, flavor, taste, mouth feeling, and overall acceptability. In the analysis of sourness, saltiness, umami, sweetness, and bitterness taste by an electronic tongue, the sourness values of LD20 and PSD95, saltiness values of WSD20 and WSD95, and umami values of PD20 and PD95 were significantly higher than other extracts. The results of this study suggest that wasabi leaf and petiole extracts enhance qualities and antioxidant activities when used different parts together.

  • Ocimum gratissimum is a common plant in the tropics and has been used in food and medicine. Its usage in food and medicine could be attributed to its phtyochemical and antimicrobial properties. In this study we investigated the proximate, phytochemical, and antimicrobial attributes of air dried leaves of O. gratissimum. The aqueous extract was found to contain phtyochemicals with alkaloid and saponin present in appreciable amounts. The proximate analysis (crude protein and crude fibre content were 15.075% and 17.365%, respectively) showed that the leaf could be a good source of protein and fibre. The aqueous ethanolic extract of the leaf exhibited activity against a wider range of organisms when compared to the aqueous extract at the investigated concentrations. Aqueous ethanolic extracts of O. gratissimum leaf was active against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus and the aqueous extract of the leaf was active against P. aeruginosa.
