To enhance the physiological activities and reduce the off-flavor of garlic in the Kimchi, we manufactured the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic instead of raw garlic and measured the contents of antioxidants and antioxidant activities. The polyphenol compound content was $270.91{\mu}g/mL$ in the control and $278.18{\sim}305.75{\mu}g/mL$ in the Kimchi seasoning with black garlic. The polyphenol compound content increased by increasing the amount of black garlic in the Kimchi seasoning. The polyphenol compound contents gradually decreased during storage period. The flavonoid compound content was 26.18 mg% in the control and 26.80~38.72 mg% in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic. The flavonoid compound contents increased by increasing the amount of black garlic. The flavonoid contents were different from those of polyphenol compounds during storage periods. In the case of DPPH electron donating abilities, DPPH electron donating ability of the control was 84.82%, which showed a lower antioxidative activity than the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic. The electron donating abilities of the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic were increased as the amount of black garlic was increased. In the lipid peroxidation test, the control showed no lipid peroxidation during the storage period. The Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic also inhibited lipid peroxidation during storage as in the control. However, it showed lower activity than the control. Reducing power was higher in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic than in the control. The higher the ratio of black garlic, the higher the reducing power.

This study was conducted to develop a new method for enhancing ginsenoside $Rg_3$, which is abundant in black ginseng. The cognition-enhancing effect of black ginseng extract was investigated via the assay of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Black ginseng I was prepared through the traditional method (by steaming and drying nine times repetitions). Black ginseng II, on the other hand, was prepared by steaming the ginseng three times at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min after soaking it in grape juice for 24 h. The ginsenosides of white, red, and black ginseng I, and II were investigated using the HPLC method, respectively. In black ginseng II, the ginsenoside $Rg_3$ contents, which cannot be found in white ginseng, amounted to 10.91 mg/g, approximately 18 times more than that in red ginseng. In the in-vivo study, black ginseng extract (200 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited the AChE activity after 24 h by a single administration in the brain. Thus, the new manufacturing method for black ginseng was found to more effective in the conversion of ginsenoside $Rg_3$ compared to the traditional method. Black ginseng may also have the effect of preventing the cognitive impairment induced by cholinergic dysfunction.

We evaluated the physiological effects of formulations added with black garlic extract on skin care. Black garlic was made by spontaneous fermentation for 40 days at $60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ and 85~95% RH without any additives. When black garlic extract was added to formulation, the tyrosinase activity was decreased significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Base formulation inhibited slightly elastase activity (<5%), while black garlic formulation had about 8-fold higher elastase inhibitory activity (p<0.01). It was observed that formulations, with or without black garlic extract, decreased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and hydrogen peroxide which were increased by UVB irradiation, although there were no significant differences of these contents between black garlic formulation and base formulation. In conclusion, black garlic formulation had high inhibitory activities for tyrosinase and elastase, suggesting that black garlic may have beneficial properties as a material for cosmeceuticals.

Injulmi, a kind of traditional Korean sticky rice cakes, was prepared with the mixed flours of waxy and black rices in different ratio(0% to 25% black rice flour), and their quality properties were studied. In the sensory evaluation, the best acceptance was shown in the samples with 15% black rice flour. The scores for hardness, coarseness. chewiness, and flavor were increased as the added amount of black rice flour increased. The moisture content of the samples ranged from 43 to 45%, and it was increased as the added amount of black rice flour increased. In color value, lightness(L value) was 27.43∼65.63. The redness(a value) was -2.01∼4.74, and the yellowness(b value) was -1.40∼4.59. The redness and blueness were increased by the increase of black rice flour. In the texture properties, the increase of added black rice flour increased the hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of Injulml, but decreased the adhesiveness. Based on the results, the optimal recipe for Injulmi added black rice flour was to make with 85% waxy rice flour ant 15% black rice flour.

Physicochemical properties of pork patties formulated with black rice powder were investigated. Moisture contents of samples containing black rice powder were significantly higher than that of the control (p<0.05). Protein, fat, and ash contents increased with increasing black rice powder content. Uncooked and cooked pH values of samples increased with increasing black rice powder content. Lightness and yellowness of samples decreased with increasing concentration of black rice powder. Redness of cooked samples containing black rice powder was significantly lower than that of the control (p<0.05). Water holding capacity and cooking yield of samples increased with increasing black rice powder concentration. Diameter and thickness reduction ratio of samples decreased with increasing black rice powder content. Sensory evaluation of samples showed no significant difference between samples. Thus, black rice powder improved the quality of pork patties.

This study assessed the quality characteristics of cookies made with different amounts (0, 5, 10, 15%) of black carrot powder. The density and pH value of cookie dough were constant for all groups. Compared to the control group, the moisture content was higher in groups containing the black carrot powder. Increasing the amount of black carrot powder resulted in decreased L-value but increased a-value. Furthermore, the hardness of cookies increased with increasing amounts of black carrot powder. The consumer acceptance test revealed that up to 15% black carrot powder addition was desirable. Total phenol content of the control group was 24.0 mg GAE/100 g, while black carrot powder groups ranged from 45.5 to 103.5 mg GAE/100 g. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was also augmented with increasing volumes of black carrot powder. Taken together, we recommend that cookies with 15% black carrot powder are desirable in terms of overall acceptability and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the functionality of fermented black garlic extracts under various conditions. Black garlic powder was prepared by aging for 0~72 hours at 80℃ depending on relative humidity (RH). It showed the highest antioxidant effects among the samples; the total antioxidant activity of black garlic powders at RH 75%, 84%, and 90% for 72 hours was increased 31.9 times, 28.2 times, and 22.6 times compared with that of the fresh garlic powder, respectively. Also, the alliin content was gradually decreased. S-ally-L-cysteine and S-ethyl-cysteine levels were increased; the highest values were 495.9 ㎍/g and 1,769.7 ㎍/g after aging for 72 hours at RH 75%. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels were increased following high fat diet feeding, but the rise was obviously reduced by administration of black garlic extract. The total cholesterol, LDL/VLDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride contents in serum were significantly lower in methionine and choline deficient (MCD) diet treatment groups than in the positive control group. The concentration was increased following the intake of black garlic and fermented black garlic extracts. Therefore, black garlic extracts could be an ideal material as a dietary supplement in healthy functional foods to improve the effects on fatty liver.
