In this study, we investigated changes in the organosulfur compounds of garlic (by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria) and the effects of these fermented garlic extracts on alcohol-induced cytotoxicity in CYP2E1-transfected HepG2 cells. Lactobacillus plantarum has the highest growth rate in a garlic medium and the S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) in fermented garlic extracts with Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus were significantly higher compared to other lactic acid bacteria strains (p<0.05). The SAC, S-ethyl cysteine (SEC) and S-methyl cysteine (SMC) in garlic extracts were all increased by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria. However, alliin in the fermented garlic extracts with lactic acid bacteria strains was lower than the original garlic extract and the contents of cycloalliin in the garlic extracts did not change with fermentation (p<0.05). The electron donating ability of the fermented garlic extracts increased with dose. The electron donating ability of the fermented garlic extract with L. plantarum and P. pentosaceus was over 90% efficient at 5 mg/g. The fermented garlic extracts (with lactic acid bacteria) and garlic extract were not influenced, up to $100{\mu}g/mL$, in CYPE1-transfected HepG2 cells. The CYPE1-transfected HepG2 cell viabilities were 92.60% and 92.23% when treated with both alcohol (200 mM) and fermented garlic extract ($100{\mu}g/mL$) with lactic acid bacteria respectively, for 6 days.

The volatile compounds of traditional Kyungsando squid sikhe were identified by GC-MS. The amount of ${\alpha}-zingibirene$ among identified volatile compounds was 19.73 mg/kg. The major volatile compounds of sikhe were (Z)-Di-2-propenyl disulfide, ${\alpha}-curcumene$, methyl allyl disulfide, (E, E)-a-farnesene, pentanol, z-citral, 3-ethyl-1,2-dithi-5-ene-${\beta}-elemene$, ${\beta}-elemene$, acetic acid, and ${\beta}-phellandrene$. The volatile compounds of sikhe were compose of 49 including hydrocarbone groups, 15 aldehydes groups, 33 alcohol groups kinds, 11 ketone and ester groups. The fraction obtained from sikhe were tested for electron donating ability, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. There were no electron donating abilities$(SC_{50})$ in hexane and water soluble fractions. On the other hand, the angiotensin converting enzyme abilities of ethylacetate and butanol soluble fractions were $310.64\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $1096.49\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate butanol soluble fractions were 1.623 mg/mL and 1.303 mg/mL, respectively. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate fraction and butanol soluble fractions were 3.591 mg/mL and 2.083 mg/mL, respectively.

The antioxidant ability of 80% ethanolic extract of nutmeg seed (NM80) was evaluated using in vitro assays and bulk oil and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion matrices. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) cation radical scavenging, and oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) in vitro assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant ability of the extract. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of 25, 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/mL NM80 were 12.5, 20.9, 35.1, and 62.8%, respectively, while the ABTS cation radical scavenging activities were 2.7, 6.5, 30.5, and 29.8%, respectively, demonstrating a dose-dependent effect. The ORAC value was significantly higher at an NM80 concentration of 25 ㎍/mL than the positive control (p<0.05). The conjugated dienoic acid (CDA), ρ-anisidine, and tertiary butyl alcohol values in 90-min-heated corn oil containing 200 ppm of NM80 were significantly reduced by 3.26, 16.94, and 17.34%, respectively, compared to those for the sample without NM80 (p<0.05). However, the headspace oxygen content and CDA value in the O/W emulsion containing 200 ppm of NM80 at 60℃ had 6.29 and 82.85% lower values, respectively, than those for the sample without NM80 (p<0.05). The major volatile compounds of NM80 were allyl phenoxyacetate, eugenol acetate, and eugenol. NM80 could be an effective natural antioxidant in lipid-rich foods in bulk oil or O/W emulsion matrix.
