This study examined the growth and sensory characteristics of soybean sprout cultured at 25$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ for 4 days with distilled water control and green tea extracted water (0.03% and 0.05%). The proximate composition of soybean sprout in the green-tea water was better than that of the control in ash, protein and fat, while the soybean sprout was especially higher in 0.05% green-tea water. The contents of vitamin C and $\beta$-carotene were higher in soybean sprout in green-tea water than the control. The total free amino acids composition of soybean sprout in green-tea water was better than that of the control, with the highest being obtained in soybean sprout in 0.03% green-tea water. Antioxidative activity was assayed by DPPH radical scavenging ability with spectrophotometer at 514 nm. The soybean sprout in green-tea water was higher than control. The amylase activity of the soybean sprout increased steadily during the first 4 days and that of the control was higher than soybean sprout in green-tea water. The proteinase of soybean sprout steadily increased during 4 day culture. Furthermore, the proteinase activity of soybean sprout in green-tea water was higher than that of the control up to 2 days. Whereas after 3 days, it was the highest in 0.03% green-tea water and then decreased remarkably in 0.05% green-tea water.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Mori Cortex Radicis powder and to determine the optimal mixing ratio of Mori Cortex Radicis powder and water in the preparation of bread. The optimal sensory composite recipe was determined by producing bread with different levels of Mori Cortex Radicis powder and water. The analysis was performed using response surface methodology and a sensory evaluation was performed with the data. Ten experimental recipes, including two with reference points in the composition, were selected. In terms of the antioxidative effects of Mori Cortex Radicis powder, the $IC_{50}$ for total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were 149.56 GAE/g dry powder and 137.77 /mL respectively. Measurement results of the mechanical properties showed differences in volume (p<0.05), baking loss (p<0.05), yellowness (p<0.01), lightness (p<0.01), redness (p<0.01), hardness (p<0.01) and springiness (p<0.05). The sensory measurements showed significant values for color (p<0.05), appearance (p<0.05), flavor (p<0.01), taste (p<0.01), and overall quality (p<0.01). Overall, based on numerical and graphical methods, the optimal formulation was determined to be 21.16 g of Mori Cortex Radicis powder and 372.47 g of water.

It was investigated that the reduction of the intense brown color and increase of solubility, and depolymerization of polymerized melanoidins by ozonolysis affect their antioxidative and antimutagenic activities. Melanoidins was depolymerized and decolorized by ozonolysis. Ozone-treated melanoidins revealed a lower antioxidative activity and a higher antimutagenic activity than those of the untreated control. Fractions of ozone-treated melanoidins showed three peaks resemble to that of the melanoidins on Sephadex column chromatogram. Melanoidins of above MW 1,200 showed intense brown color. However, the strongest electron-donating ability was detected in the melanoidins of between MW 750 to 900. Ozone-treated and ozone-untreated melanoidins of between MW 900 to 1,000 revealed the higher antioxidative and antimutagenic activities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidative effect of Yukwa prepared with Lycii fructus powder (LFP). The Yukwas were stored at $50^{\circ}C$ for 40 days. Yukwa dough prepared with 5% LFP demonstrated higher pH and density value compared to the other groups and control. For color values, as more LFP was added, the L-value decreased, whereas the a-value and b-value increased. The hardness of Yukwa made with 7% LFP was the highest among all samples. The results of a sensory evaluation test showed that Yukwas with 5% LFP was most preferable in terms of overall acceptability compared to the others. The acid, peroxide, and thiobarbituric acid values were lower in Yukwa prepared with 5% LFP compared to Yukwa prepared with 3% or 7% LFP, as well as control Yukwa.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Opuntia humifusa and determine the optimal mixing ratio of Opuntia humifusa powder and eggs for the preparation of pasta. In regard to its antioxidant effects, Opuntia humifusa powder had a total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of 6.64 mg/g and 90.12%, respectively. We used response surface methodology to obtain ten experimental points (including two replicates for Opuntia humifusa powder and egg) and Opuntia humifusa pasta formulation was optimized using rheology. Yellowness (p<0.001) displayed a linear model pattern, whereas lightness (p<0.01) and redness (p<0.01) were described by a quadratic model pattern. Mechanical properties showed significant values in hardness (p<0.5), chewiness (p<0.5), gummiess (p<0.5), and cohesiveness (p<0.5). The sensory evaluation parameters showed significant differences in color (p<0.5), appearance (p<0.5), flavor (p<0.5), texture (p<0.5) and overall quality (p<0.5). The optimum formulations processed by numerical and graphical optimization were found to be 7.30 g of Opuntia humifusa powder and 31.55 g of egg.

In this study, the biological activities of Glycyrrhiza uralensis were investigated, including antioxidative, fibrinolytic, thrombin inhibitory, and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The hot water extract of Glycyrrhiza uralensis was fractionated into hexane, $CHCl_3$, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water fractions, and each of these fractions were assayed individually. The water fraction showed the highest extraction yield of 19.45% (w/w). Using the DPPH method, the free radical scavenging activity was to be the strongest in the $CHCl_3$ fraction at 89.3%. Using the fibrin plate method, only the butanol fraction showed a substantial plasmin activity of 0.62 units/ml. In thrombin inhibitory activity tests, a 100-fold dilution of the ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest activity of 46.9%. In the a-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay, a 100-fold dilution of the $CHCl_3$ fraction showed the strongest activity of 80.6%. In conclusion, the combined results of this study demonstrate that the extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis can be used as a material for the development of biofunctional foods for diabetics.

In this study, Boehmeria nivea were extracted with water and ethanol, and antioxidative activity was investigated along with the quality of cookies prepared with added Boehmeria nivea, as a functional food. Among the water and ethanol extracts, high electron donating abilities were found. we selected various quantities of Boehmeria nivea(0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%) to add to the cookies as an independent variable and performed sensory tests, as well as, measured chromaticity, and property of matter measurements. The rates of brightness, redness, and yellowness(p<0.001) changed significantly with increasing quantities Boehmeria nivea. The rates for spread ratio, hardness, brittleness, and chewiness(p<0.001) also changed siginificantly with increasing amounts Boehmeria nivea. Finally, texture(p<0.05), appearness, sweetness(p<0.01), bitterness, and overall quality(p<0.001) were examined in sensory tests and showed significant differences. Based on the above results, the cookies that contained 3~9% of Boehmeria nivea presented the best quality.

The research studied the nutritional composition and health effects of the Giwongo with its efficacy in providing nourishment to blood, liver and kidney as well as being an aid to the mental stability. The Giwongo is made by boiling the same amounts of Lycium fructus and Longanae arillus. Giwongo was analyzed to measure proximate nutritional composition, mineral contents, free sugar content and polyphenol compound content. The DPPH scavenging activity and its antioxidative effectiveness were also analyzed. Giwongo was composed of 16.7% water, 4.9% crude protein, 3.7% crude fat, 3.8%, crude ash 70.9% carbohydrate with the content per 100 g of 336.5 kcal. The Giwongo mineral contents were potassium, sodium and calcium in sequence according to contents. Per 100 g Giwongo were found 9.62 g glucose, 4.67 g fructose and 18.00 g sugar. The Giwongo had 60.67% DPPH electron donating ability and $32.19^{\circ}Brix$. The Giwongo made of Lycium fructus and Longanae arillus had effectiveness of tonify the liver and kidney, nourish blood, and psychologic stability. As such Giwongo may help prevent the symptoms of unbalanced health due to excessive stress and unhealthy diet.
