The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mugwort powder on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Maejakgwa. Maejakgwa were prepared with mugwort powder at levels 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% ($60{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 14 days). The lightness, redness, and yellowness values of Maejakgwa significantly reduced depending on mugwort powder. The hardness of Maejakgwa was decreased with the increase of storage period and increased with the increase of mugwort powder. In the sensory evaluations, the Maejakgwa prepared with 3% added mugwort powder received higher acceptance scores for the properties of color, taste, hardness, crispiness, adhesiveness and overall acceptability. As the mugwort powder content increased, acid value and peroxide value were decreased. With the increase of storage period, acid value and peroxide value of all sample increased but growth rate of these values decreased with the addition of the mugwort powder. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was improved significantly via the addition of mugwort powder and decreased as storage period increased. During storage period, Maejakgwa with mugwort powder showed a stronger antimicrobial effect in yeasts and molds than in total aerobic bacteria. Coliform bacteria were not detected in all samples. Also the antimicrobial activity was increased with the addition of the mugwort powder and decreased as storage period increased. The results show that addition of the mugwort powder to foods with fat such as Maejakgwa would be a useful way to enhance the antioxidant quality, sensory characteristics and shelf life.

To obtain basic da1a on the preparation of Cudrania tricuspidata leaves tea, the quality and anti-oxidative characteristics of dried raw leaves (RT), pan-fired leaves tea (PT) and fermented leaves tea (FT) were investigated. General characteristics of RT, PT and FT, respectively, were: moisture content 18.47, 6.23 and 8.50%; crude protein content 17.77, 20.46 and 19.13%; and carbohydrate content 54.42, 62.52 and 61.96%. The crude lipid and ash contents were in the range 0.05 - 0.07% and 9.27 -10.74% respectively; the water soluble solid content was in the order FT > PT > RT and ranged from 23.10 - 37.38%; there were no significant differences in the total polyphenol content (815.24 - 835.16 mg%). Although $L^*$ values of PT (20.94) and FT (20.85) were lower than those of RT (34.71), the $a^*$ value in PT and the $b^*$ value in FT were highest. In all ethanol extracts the reducing power, electron-donating ability and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the activity in FT was higher than in PT or RT. The total free amino-acid content was higher in FT (1429.93 mg%) than RT (1108.94 mg%) or PT (833.13 mg%). The major amino acids were L-asparagine and L-valine in RT, L-cysteine and L-glutamic acid in PT and L-proline in FT. In a sensory evaluation of PT and FT, bitter and astringent tastes were decreased relative to RT, while sweet and savory tastes, flavor, color and overall acceptability were increased. These results indicate that FT bas a higher antioxidant effect and free-amino-acid content than PT, while the sensory quality of FT is similar to that of PT.

The study aimed to evaluate the antioxidative effects of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and clove (Syzgyium aromaticum L.) essential oils on fried Korean native thigh meat, including their impact on processed characteristics and flavor compounds. Clove essential oil showed higher DPPH scavenging activity, FRAP and total phenol content compared to rosemary essential oil (P<0.05). The treatments with the addition of 0.005% and 0.01% rosemary (0.005RB and 0.01RB) and clove (0.005CB and 0.01CB) essential oils to the batter weight compared to control that did not include essential oils in batter. The addition of rosemary and clove essential oils to fried Korean native chicken thigh meat did not significant affect proximate composition, pH, TBARS, sensory characteristics. Except for 0.005CB, treatments adding essential oils decreased cooking loss (P<0.05) and 0.005CB showed significantly higher pick-up value than control. Addition of clove essential oil in fried Korean native chicken thigh meat resulted in higher levels of arachidonic acid compared to control (P<0.05). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis showed that addition of rosemary essential oil might mask its own VOCs, while clove essential oil addition reduced some pyrazine compounds. Although addition of rosemary and clove essential oil did not have significant sensory characteristics on fried Korean native chicken thigh meat, instrumental analysis revealed changes in the compounds that influenced flavor. Further studies are required to evaluate the stability of flavor and sensory characteristics of fried Korean native chicken thigh meat with added essential oils during storage.

This research was aimed at evaluating the effects of natural antioxidants on lipid oxidation and sensory quality in cooked, chill- stored and reheated Wanjajun prepared with pork meat (short shank). Sage (SA) and combinations of herbs; basil/mints (BM), rosemary/parsley/thyme (RPT) were used as sources of antioxidants. The products were pan-fried in a medium layer of soybean oil and then stored in a refrigerator at 3$^{\circ}C$ for 8 days after rapid chilling. The process of heat treatment of Wanjajun caused changes in the chemical composition of products and simultaneously, thermal oxidative reaction was initiated. During storage of products in a refrigerator, further hydrolytic and oxidative processes in the lipid extraction were progressed. Acid value was increased, peroxides and malonaldehyde formation gradually were increased during cool storage. Addition of garlic, sage and combinations of herbs retarded the process of oxidation. Wanjajun made with addition of SA and RPT showed good quality in antioxidative potential after 8 days of storage. The sensory effect of herbs on undesirable warmed-over flavor was in order of : SA>RPT>BM.

From the total methanolic extract of Chrysanthemum coronarium L. var. spatiosum (Compositae), nitrite scavenging ability and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity were analyzed as antioxidative characteristics. After successive partitioning with chloroform, n-butanol, and water, the chloroform fraction showed the most significant nitrite scavenging ability with an $IC_{50}$ value of 39 ppm compared with the values of vitamin C and chlorogenic acid, 15 ppm and 36 ppm, respectively. The active fraction was subjected to silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and the compound was isolated and identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ using $^{1}H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data. The glucoside was further hydrolyzed and confirmed as a glycosylated ${\beta}-sitosterol$. The compound and its aglycone, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, showed different nitrite scavenging and SOD-like activity. The $IC_{50}$ value of nitrite scavenging ability of the compound was 335 ppm at pH 1.5, while that of its aglycone was 41 ppm. As for the SOD-like activity, the $EC_{50}$ values of the sterol and the glucoside were 1,291 ppm and >2,000 ppm, respectively, compared with those of vitamin C and chlorogenic acid, 38 ppm and 449 ppm, respectively.

In order to demonstrate the usefulness of Deodeok. the functions of Deodeok and the qualities of Cheongkukjang were investigated. DPPH (1.1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of Deodeok extracted with 70% ethanol was higher than that of water extract. The direct antimutagenic effect of ethanol extract of Deodeok was examined by Ames test using Salmonella typimurium TA 98. The inhibition rates on ethanol extract at concentrations of 200, 1.000, 2.000, 3.000 and 4.000 ${\mu}g$/plate were 5.75, 31.38, 34.75, 53.50 and 83.75%, respectively. The inhibition rates of ethanol extract was higher over 2 times than that of water extract. The qualities including physicochemical and sensory properties of Deodeok Cheongkukjang were investigated over the following range of Deodeok levels; 5, 10, 15 and 20% (w/w). The strain used in Cheongkukjang manufacture was Bacillus sp. B-3 with the highest enzyme activities such as amylase and protease. During fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 days. amino-type nitrogen content of Cheongkukjang containing 10% (w/w) Deodeok was more than others. When Deodeok content exceeded 15% (w/w), higher contents resulted in lesser amino-type nitrogen production. The results showed that Deodeok had influenced the growth of Bacillus sp. B-3. The L-value of Deodeok Cheongkukjang was decreased according to increasing the Deodeok contents. Sensory evaluation showed that Deodeok Cheongkukjang containing 10% (w/w) Deodeok was superior to other tested.

Physicochemical properties of sponge cakes prepared using various amounts of rosemary powder were evaluated. Rosemary powder was used at 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7%(w/w). The second-stage specific densities of batter increased from 0.49 to 0.54 as the amount of rosemary powder rose from 0% to 0.7%(w/w). All specific densities were within the normal range. The pH of sponge cake batters increased as rosemary powder proportion rose, with statistical significance(p<0.05). The moisture contents of cake showed no difference on the first day but significantly decreased to 38.5-39.7% after 3 days. The acid values and peroxide values fell as the proportion of rosemary powder increased. With rising rosemary powder level, antioxidative capacity increased but physiological properties were not affected in the range of rosemary powder concentrations used in this study.

Sweet potato-malt worts were prepared by using sweet potato paste of Shinyulmi and Shinjami as the main adjunct, enzymes, malt, hop, and water. We brewed low-malt beers of the lager- or ale-type by using these worts and inoculating bottom and top fermenting yeast, respectively. Moreover, the componential and functional characteristics of the resulting beers were evaluated. During saccharification of sweet potato, the addition of an enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ caused an improvement in filterability and an increase of total sugar. The sugar content of sweet potato-malt wort which was prepared by the addition of 0.1% enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ and a three-step infusion procedure was $13.5^{\circ}Brix$ adequate for beer brewing. The polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of Shinjami beer were increased with increasing content of the paste, and also increased DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. But in Shinyulmi beer it were decreased. A strong correlation was obserbed between antioxidave activities and polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of sweet potato beers. In all lager- and ale-type low-malt beers using 41.6% of Shinjami pastes, sensory attributes very similar to those of 100% malt beer were obtained and they were very good as they had unique red color.
