The objectives of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of raw, microwave-treated, steam-treated and high temperature and pressure-treated garlic. The hardness and strength of microwave-treated and steam-treated garlic decreased compared to raw garlic. The hardness and softness increased but strength decreased in dried garlic-treated at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr. The reducing sugar content of raw garlic was 0.041 g/100 g, and reducing sugar content of high temperature and pressure-treated garlic increased temperature. Total polyphenol content of microwave-treated and steam-treated decreased compared to raw garlic, while that of high temperature and pressure-treated increased with increasing temperature. $IC_{50}$ value of the electron donating ability of raw garlic was 3.07 mg/mL, and the highest $IC_{50}$ value was 2.16 mg/mL for microwave-treated garlic at the 4 min. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of raw garlic was 40.94 mg AEAC/mL, and the highest AEAC value was 76.51 mg AEAC/mL with high temperature and pressure-treated garlic at $150^{\circ}C$ at the 2 hr.

The effects of high pressure on alliinase and on flavor of garlic (Alliiium sativum L.) were investigated. After pressurized at 150 MPa, 300 MPa, and 500 MPa for 10 min, the activities of purified alliinase were reduced approximately 30%, 80%, and 100%, respectively, while the enzyme activities of pressurized garlic cloves were reduced 0%, 7%, and 100%, respectively. This indicated that the intact garlic has a protective effect against pressure-inactivation of alliinase. Alliinase was more effectively inactivated when high pressure treatment was carried out at high ($>40^{\circ}C$) or low temperature ($>10^{\circ}C$) than ambient temperature. Pressure treated garlic at 500 MPa had little pungency and sulfuryl odor compared to raw garlic indicating that high-pressure processing can be used to produce garlic without pungent flavor.

To examine the possibility of using thiacremonone isolated from high-temperature-high-pressure treated garlic, this study investigated the physiological activities properties. The $IC_{50}$ values of hydroxyl, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide radical scavenging activities of thiacremonone were 92.50, 65.05, 12.60, and $81.53{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. On the other hand, the activities of vitamin C were 104.93, 99.43, 42.42, and $122.64{\mu}g/mL$, and the activities of butylated hydroxyanisole were 37.22, 68.45, 22.47, and $40.54{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of ACE inhibition activities of thiacremonone and captoprill were 0.265 and $0.036{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of xanthine oxidase inhibition activities of thiacremonone and allopurinol were 39.430 and $9.346{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of tyrosinase inhibition activities of thiacremonone and kojic acid were 101.931 and $65.648{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Effects of pH (1.8-10.2) and time (56 sec-15 min 4 sec) at high hydrostatic pressure (500 MPa) on the reduction of volatile compounds in garlic were studied. Volatile components of garlic were obtained from the headspace, analyzed, and identified by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and an electronic nose. Nineteen sulfur compounds were identified as major compounds in garlic, and furan, aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones were also detected. Off-flavor compounds were more effectively reduced under strong acidic conditions. As the residence time at 500 MPa increased from 56 sec to 15 min 4 sec, the total amount of volatile compounds decreased significantly. The total amount of sulfur compounds decreased about 70% compared to those of raw garlic when the garlic was soaked in buffer (pH 6.0) and treated at 500 MPa for 15 min 4 sec. A principal component analysis showed that the off-flavors of garlic were reduced by the operating time of high hydrostatic pressure as well as pH treatment. The correlation coefficient of the results between GC and the electronic nose analysis was 0.9620. Therefore, pH and high hydrostatic pressure treatment could be used as an efficient method for reducing of garlic off-flavor.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of a combined treatment regarding antimicrobial food ingredients and high pressure processing (HP) on the inactivation efficiency of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated into ground pork. Ethanol extracted from garlic, leeks, onions, and ginger powder was prepared. Half of the prepared powder was irradiated at 5 kGy to see the effect of pasteurization before addition. The prepared food ingredients were added into radiation-sterilized ground pork (1%, w/w), and inoculated with E. coli and L. monocytogenes. The samples were vacuum-packed and applied with HP at 0.1 (control), 300, 450, and 600 MPa. Microbial log reduction increased with the increase of pressure up to 600 MPa. With minor exceptions, overall efficiency of HP treatment with regards to inactivation of pathogens increased. Inoculated microorganisms showed approximately 7-8 Log reductions by 600 MPa, except for L. monocytogenes treated with garlic (5.7 Log reductions). The E. coli reduction in ground pork mixed with ethanol extracted garlic showed the highest efficiency (1.86) compared to leeks (1.25-1.31), onions (1.17-1.44), and ginger (1.50-1.82) when treated at an HP of 450 MPa. There was no evidence for the advantage of pasteurization concerning the food ingredients before addition of antimicrobial food ingredients and HP. Results demonstrate that the combination of antimicrobial food ingredients and HP treatment may help improve the efficiency of sterilization in meat systems.

The effects of heat treated and herb added garlic (Allium sativum L.) on the antioxidant activities were investigated. Boiling ($100^{\circ}C$, 60 min), steaming ($100^{\circ}C$, 30 min), baking ($120^{\circ}C$, 10 min), or high temperature and high pressure (HTHP, $120^{\circ}C$, 20 min, 1.5 kgf/$cm^2$) were applied, and several herbs were added to garlic. Hunter color L-value of heated garlic was significantly decreased, compared to that of control (fresh garlic), whereas a-value and b-value were increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, hardness, chewiness and gumminess of heated garlic were decreased, whereas adhesiveness was increased. The antioxidant activities determined by DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were decreased in HTHP garlic. The pungent taste and garlic odor were the weakest in HTHP garlic. Especially, the pungent taste of HTHP garlic was not detectable. Green tea among several herbs (bay leaf, cinnamon bark, pine needles) showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. Addition of green tea to HTHP garlic was appropriate for decreasing antioxidative activity of HTHP garlic compared to fresh garlic. Based on these results, it was suggested that high temperature and high pressure treated garlic with green tea might be very useful as a substitute for odorless functional garlic products.

Effects of high temperature and pressure treatment on garlic (Allium sativum L.) treated at 110, 120, 130, 140, and $150^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hr were evaluated by investigating changes in antioxidant activities, and total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) contents of garlic juice. Antioxidant activities, and total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and 5-HMF contents increased with increasing treated temperature and time. $IC_{50}$ (1.952 mg/g) was achieved at $150^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr, 50 times higher than untreated garlics. Highest total polyphenol content was 18.155 mg/g at $140^{\circ}C$ and 2 hr, seven times higher than untreated garlics. Highest total flavonoid content was $532.73\;{\mu}g/g$ at $150^{\circ}C$ and 1 hr, sixteen times higher than untreated garlics. 5-HMF content was highest (7,765.9 ppm) at $150^{\circ}C$ and 2 hr. Correlation coefficients among antioxidant activities, and total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and 5-HMF contents were very high (p<0.01).

High temperature- and pressure-treated garlic (HTPG) has been shown to have enhanced antioxidative activity and polyphenol contents. Previously, we reported that HTPG inhibited 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced mucin depleted foci (premalignant lesions) and $O^6$-methylguanine DNA adduct formation in the rat colorectum. In the present study, we investigated the modifying effects of HTPG on N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG)-induced pyloric stomach and small intestinal carcinogenesis in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were given ENNG (100 mg/l) in drinking water for the first 4 weeks, then a basal diet or diet containing 2% or 5% HTPG for 30 weeks. The incidence and multiplicity of pyloric stomach and small intestinal (duodenal and jejunal) tumors in the 2% HTPG group (but not in the 5% HTPG group) were significantly lower than those in the control group. Cell proliferation of normal-appearing duodenal mucosa was assessed by MIB-5 immunohistochemistry and shown to be significantly lower with 2% HTPG (but again not 5% HTPG) than in controls. These results in dicate that HTPG, at 2% in the diet, inhibited ENNG-induced pyloric stomach and small intestinal (especially duodenal) tumorigenesis in mice, associated with suppression of cell proliferation.

This study examines the changes in the physicochemical property and antioxidant activity of six types of vegetables (carrots, crown daisy, mugwort, cabbages, onions, and garlic) based on heat-treated cooking. According to the results, proximate contents (crude protein, fat, and ash) were lower in blanched samples than in untreated samples. Untreated cabbages showed the highest level of total dietary fiber content, which decreased by blanching and increased by high-temperature/high-pressure (HTHP) treatment. Noteworthy is that, in the case of soluble dietary fiber, blanched crown daisy and mugwort showed significantly high levels of 12.0 g and 7.3 g per 100 g(dry basis). There was no significant change in tocopherol content in heat-treated samples. The highest levels of total polyphenol and flavonoid content were 6.73 g and 5.51 g per 100 g, respectively, in the mugwort sample with HTHP treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The water extract of mugwort with HTHP treatment had the strongest antioxidant effect based on three bioassays (SOD, DPPH, and ABTS). These results indicate the relative correlation between the level of physiologically active content and antioxidant activity and suggest new insights into ingredients for developing functional foods.

Seasoned soy sauce is one of the popular seasoning sauces added to the Korean traditional foods such as Bulgogi, Galbi. However, industrially processed sauces have poor sensory quality because of heating treatment for sterilization. The purpose of this study was to develop seasoned soy sauce having fresh taste and good quality by applying superheated steam (SHS) and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) technologies. To maintenance the sauce qualities, food materials such as apple, onion, and garlic were pretreated with SHS (heater $100^{\circ}C$, steam $280^{\circ}C$, 30 s~1 min 30 s) before mixing with other ingredients. During storage of 7 days, color, pH, and browning potential of SHS treated samples (apple, onion and garlic) did not change and also polyphenol oxidase was inactivated (p<0.05). The seasoned soy sauce including SHS treated materials was sterilized by thermal process ($85^{\circ}C$, 30min) or non-thermal process, HHP (550 MPa, $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$, 3 min). In SHS+HHP treated sauce, salinity, sugar contents, lightness, viscosity did not change (p<0.05), and total viable cell counts were detected below 4 log cycle at $5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. E.coli and B.cereus are not determined in all samples. In sensory evaluation, Bulgogi prepared with SHS+HHP treated sauce was more acceptable than others.
