We extracted red ginseng with various alcohol concentrations and evaluated total carbohydrate, uronic acid, polyphenols compounds and ginsenoside contents, and yields of alcohol extract. The water extraction (0% alcohol extraction) showed a high level of total carbohydrate content. 10% and 20% alcohol extraction showed the highest uronic acid contents (7,978.8 and $7,872.7\;{\mu}g/mL$ of extract, respectively). The efficiency order of the red ginseng extract (RGE) preparations in liberating polyphenols was: $0{\sim}50%$ alcohol${\geq}\;60%$ alcohol> $70{\sim}90%$ alcohol. Solid contents in RGE were decreased with increased alcohol concentration; the same tendency as with the results of total carbohydrate content. Total ginsenoside contents in $20{\sim}50%$ alcohol extracts showed similar levels ($442,962.9{\sim}47,930.8\;{\mu}g/mL$ of extract). Water extraction showed the lowest ginsenoside content ($14,509.4\;{\mu}g/mL$ of extract). The ginsenoside contents at above 60% alcohol were decreased with increased alcohol concentration. Generally, ginsenoside (Rg2, Rg1, Rf, Re, Rd, Rb2, Rc and Rb1) contents were increased with increased alcohol concentrations. However, Rg3 content was decreased with increases in alcohol concentration.

The purposes of this studies were to investigate the effect of dietry Se levels and alcohol administration on the lipid hyperoxidation and the lipid metabolism in the rat. Seventy two male rats of Sprague-Dawley Strain weighting about 58~629 were divided into 12groups. The dietary Se levels were 10, 0.4 and Omg, and the dietary a-tocopherol levels were 150 and 0mg per kg diet, respectively. Alcohol-administrated groups received drinking water solution containing 10% of ethanol from the 3-weeks of experimental periods. The obtained experimental results are summarized as follows. 1. Food intake, body weight gain and food efficiency ratio were significantly lower in H-, L-and alcohol administrated groups(-A) by administrated Se and alcohol in diet. The weight of liver and spleen tended to be greater in H- and alcohol administrated groups. 2. The glutathione values in liver tend to be lower in alcohol or Vit. E administrated groups than nonadministrated groups. Also there were higher in H- and L- than C-groups, but the increasing range decreased due to administrated alcohol. The lipid peroxide values In liver were significantly higher in alcohol groups, and L- and tocopherol groups were higher values. Specially the increasing of lipid peroxide values were significantly effected by alcohol in low Se and Vit. E groups. 3. The contents of total glyceride in plasma were higher in alcohol groups, there were significantly higher values in alcohol administrated groups under low Se and Vit. E groups. The contents of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol In plasma were significantly higher in alcohol groups. 4. The contents of total lipid in liver were higher alcohol groups, and slightly higher values in low Se groups(L-groups) than other groups, also higher values in low Vit. E groups. Those of total glyceride in liver were significantly higher in alcohol groups, appeared highest values when alcohol was administrated in low Se and Vit. E groups. The increasing of total glyceride content was significantly effected by alcohol in low Se groups than that in C-groups.

Commercialized production of onion vinegar, which has biological activities formed through alcohol and acetic acid fermentation, requires standardization. The objective of this study was to determine optimal conditions of sugar contents ($11{\sim}15^{\circ}Brix$) and agitation rate (100~300 rpm) of fermenter in the alcohol-acetic fermentation for producing onion vinegar. The alcohol and total acidity contents increased, whereas contents of total sugars decreased during alcohol fermentation. Contents of alcohol of 13 and $15^{\circ}Brix$ reactants were about 8% in 36 hr and total acidities of all samples were below 0.2% in 60 hr. During acetic fermentation, total acidity increased with highest value at 9 days (3.2% in 100 rpm), 10 days (4.1% in 200 rpm) and 8 days (4.3% in 300 rpm), respectively. From these results, sugar contents ($13^{\circ}Brix$) were measured for alcohol fermentation and agitation rate (300 rpm) for fast fermentation method of vinegar. The contents of total phenols, flavonoids and quercetin in onion vinegar were 33.3 mg/100 g, 3.0 mg/100 g and 2.0 mg/100 g, respectively. Onion vinegar showed an antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes. Antioxidant effect of onion vinegar was 26.23% in DPPH radical inhibition and 58.58% in superoxide dismutase like activity, respectively. Fibrinolytic activity was 1.51 plasmin unit/mL in onion vinegar. In conclusion, onion vinegar processed by alcohol and acetic fermentation had nutritional values and potential biological activities.

This study examined the dual mediating effects of drinking motivation and drinking level between alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotion marketing exposures, and alcohol-related harms. The survey has been conducted on 2,000 adult men and women aged 20 to 70 years, recruited by an online survey. As a result, it is found that alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotion marketing exposures, drinking motivation, drinking level, alcohol-related harms appeared more in men than in women. In addition, alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotion marketing exposures have positive effects on alcohol-related harms. Also, drinking motivation and drinking level partially mediate the effects of alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotions marketing exposure, and alcohol-related harms. In order to prevent alcohol-related harms, a social environment that causes alcohol-related harms should be tightened regulations about alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotion marketing exposures. Based on these results, this study discusses that needs the intervention not only personal perception but also social environment and regulations about alcohol advertising, alcohol sale promotion marketing.

To produce liquor and vinegar using potatoes needs to liquefy and sacchrify potatoes . So selecting the efficient fermenter for proceeding these process successfully is very important . This study was investigated several fermenter and crush types of potatoes for alcohol fermentation. Final sugar contents was high in pottoes saccharificatiion by nuruk or crude enzyme. But pure enzyme and blucoamylase ended liquefaction and saccharificatiion within short ime. So complex type fermenter mixed several fermenters was superior to single type fermenter. Complexfermenter III using crude enzyme and glucoamyulase saccharificed excellently potatoes with 150% of water contents by treatment of 3 hours. Through alcohol fermentation using pressure steamed potatoes (PSP), it could be obtained 6.4% , 150%, of alcohol content and yield. However to perform a series process efficiently , crush steamed pottoes (CSP) was suitable. When it was fermented after saccharification using crush steamed potatoes and complex fermenter III, it could be obtained 6.6% of alcohol and 6.7% of acidity.

Low-salted Kochuzang was made by the replacement of a part of NaCl with 4% ethanol as the preservative. Comparative analysis were performed for general components in 7 kinds of low-salted Kochuzang. The activities of ${\alpha}-and{\beta}-amylase$ and protease were high in ripened Kochuzang of low salt concentration in case of addition of alcohol. The changes of total sugar and pH were remarkably decreased when alcohol and salt were added. Total acid contents showed a remarkable increase when alcohol was not added, and in case of salt concentration. Total nitrogen contents were not remarkably changed, but the contents of amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen were increased in case of low salt conuntration with alcohol. Reducing sugar contents were increased in case of low salt concentration and alcohol added. Alcohol contents were not remarkably changed in case of addition of alcohol, but when alcohol was not added and low salt concentration they showed a remarkable increase(about 2.2%). A good Kochuzang may be produced by adding 4% alcohol to a low salted one (5.1% content in Kochuzang) in seventy days of the fermentation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze contents of beer advertisements in Korea. Research has suggested the influence of alcohol advertisements on viewer's drinking behavior, attitude, and expectancies. Korea's policy on alcohol advertising relies on limited government regulation and self regulation among alcohol industries. This study is expected to lay a foundation for further discussion on regulating alcohol advertising in Korea. Methods: A total of 81 beer advertisements broadcasted between 2008 and 2011 were analyzed. The contents were categorized into themes (22 themes were used), models, and presentation techniques. Results: The themes most frequently appeared in beer advertisements were quality (66.7%), relaxation (44%), camaraderie (41%), and individuality (39.5%), respectively. Analysis of models revealed that most advertisements had more than three models (64.2%), and most of them were in their 20s (68%). As much as 82% of advertisements used celebrity models. Analysis on presentation techniques showed that 91.4% displayed drinking scenes, and 27% displayed gulping down the whole bottle or the glass. Finally, about 10% of ads showed drinking in hazardous situations such as during water sports. Conclusion: The results of the study reflect the minimal regulation of alcohol advertising in Korea. The need for joint effort by legislators, researchers, alcohol industries, and advertising agencies is discussed in order to establish healthier drinking environment.
