The objective of this study was to compare the effects of various salts on the physicochemical properties of pork emulsion sausages. Pork sausages were prepared using two different salts, sodium nitrite (SN) and sodium chloride (SC), and concentrated seawater (CSW). The CIE L*, CIE a*, and CIE b*, and chroma values of cooked and uncooked sausages with added CSW were significantly higher than those of the sausages with added SC (p<0.05). However, uncooked and cooked sausages with added SN and CSW had similar CIE a* values (p>0.05). The residual NO₂^- content of sausages with added CSW was significantly lower than that of sausages with added SN. Addition of CSW to sausages resulted in a higher cooking yield compared to the other treatments (p<0.05). Addition of SC resulted in significantly higher volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values compared to the other treatments. Furthermore, addition of CSW enhanced important physicochemical properties, including CIE a*, CIE b*, residual nitrite content, cooking yield, VBN, TBA, textural properties, and cross-sectional area.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect d concentrated fermented milk on the improvement of defecation in female students with constipation. This yogurt was fermented with Bifidobacterium, L. acidophilus, and S. thermophilus and supplemented with oligosaccharides, dietary fiber, and yeast and mushroom extracts. 44 female students with constipation were sampled as subjects and fed 150ml fermented milk per day for 2 weeks period. After each defecation, the subjects were examined for the status of stool evacuation by questionnaires. The frequency of stool evacuation, fecal amount, time spending for evacuation, fecal color and shape, and refreshing feeling after evacuation were remarkably improved after ingestion of fermented milk for 2 weeks. These effects were greater in the heavy constipation group than in the mild group. The fecal odor did rot decrease significantly after 2 weeks of intake of fermented milk, but the odor thended to decrease after the intake of fermented milk These results indicated that the ingestion of concentrated fermented milk is effective to improve the constipation.

Antioxidant effect of several antioxidative components on the high purity $\alpha$-linolenic acid(HALA; ALA, 78.1%) ethyl ester concentrated from perilla oil were investigated by measuring weight-gains and peroxide value(POV) during storage at 5$0^{\circ}C$, 23$^{\circ}C$ and 4$^{\circ}C$. Amounts of antioxidant components were 0.2g/kg HALA ethyl ester for sesamin, sesangolin and butylated hydroxytolune(BHT), and 0.1g/kg for sesamol and 100g/kg for ether extracts from perilla seed. The oxidative stability of HALA ethyl ester was particularly increased by adding sesamol, ether extracts and BHT, but sesamin and sesangolin scarcely showed an antioxidant effect. POV on the HALA ethyl ester added sesamol and ether extract was less than 15.0meq/kg by 9 weeks of storage at 23$^{\circ}C$. However, in the case of low temperature storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, all the samples estimated showed less than 7.0meq/kg in POV by 5 months. Consequently, sesamol and ether extracts were recognized as available antioxidant components on the HALA ethyl ester from perilla oil.

In vitro physiological functions such as jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) urease inhibitory activity and retarding effect of glucose/bile acid of Aloe vera gel concentrated by the optimized DIS (Dewatering Impregnation & Soaking) process conditions were examined. Urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes ranged from 84.6 to 94.4%, which was similar to or higher than 86.3% of fresh aloe. Also, urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes was maintained at initial levels after heat treatment (90$^{\circ}C$, 10 min.) and drying treatment (freeze or hot air drying). Urease inhibition pattern from Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated general non-competitive inhibition, and inhibition constants ($K_{IE}$ and $K_{IES}$) of DIS aloes were 41-149 and 87-163 $\mu$L/mL, respectively. DIS(glucose) and DIS(polyethylene glycol) exhibited the highest retarding effect of glucose and bile acid. Their retarding effects were about 1.6 and 1.8 folds higher than that of fresh aloe after 0.5 and 1 hr of the dialysis, respectively. Conclusively, the above in vitro physiological functions of Aloe vera gel concentrated by DIS process suggested that aloe products treated with DIS would have the potential benefits for protection against Helicobacter pylori and reduction of blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

Contents of phytochemicals in citron (Citrus junos Sieb. ex Tanaka) seeds and their effects on antioxidant activities were investigated. Methanol extract of defatted citron seeds contained the highest amounts of total polyphenols followed by 70% ethanol and water extracts. Neohesperidin was the most predominant citrus flavanones in these extracts. The highest amounts of limonoids were found in methanol extract, and this extract was the most efficient in scavenging both DPPH and ABTS radicals. All 3 extracts also exhibited good antioxidant activities against attack of linoleate free radicals on $\beta$-carotene. When methanol extract was sequentially fractionated into ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractions, butanol fraction contained the highest amounts of polyphenols otherwise most of limonoids were concentrated in ethyl acetate fraction. A positive relationship between radical scavenging activities and total polyphenol contents in fractions was observed while antioxidant activity on $\beta$-carotene seemed more related with contents of limonoids and other hydrophobic polyphenols.

Response surface methodology(RSM) was used for monitoring the quality change of muskmelon beverage with storage temperature and time. Muskmelon beverage was prepared with the ratio of liquid fructose($11\%$), muskmelon vinegar($3\%$), concentrated muskmelon juice($1\%$) and refined water($84\%$). To examine physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage, various factors such as color, brown color intensity and sugar content were determined using physicochemical methods. Physicochemical properties of muskmelon beverage were more affordable with the increased storage temperature. While, organoleptic properties decreased with the increased storage time and temperature. The result of this study indicated that the quality of muskmelon beverage was mostly influenced by the storage temperature. Muskmelon beverage showed the good score under $60^{\circ}C$ as a storage temperature.

The several functional properties of freeze-dried powder of Aloe vera gel was examined as influenced by pre-concentration degrees of the gel solution. As a pre-treatment prior to freeze drying, the gel solution was vacuum-concentrated by three levels (unit: g-water/g-solids) - high (H), 76; medium (M), 119; low (L), 159. In FT-IR spectra, the sample H showed the highest absorbance in the range of 1600-1550 $cm^{-1}$ and 1450-1400 $cm^{-1}$, which corresponded to level of the acetyl group in glucomannan. The sample H of freeze-dried powder was the highest in polysaccharide content, jack bean urease inhibition rate, and FAC (fat adsorption capacity). It could be inferred that the sample H had an effect on Helicobacter pylori inhibition and fat adsorption suppression according to urease inhibition rate and FAC, respectively.

A lactose-hydrolyzed milk with low sweetness was developed using nanofiltration. Raw milk was treated with 0.03% ${\beta}$-galactosidase at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to hydrolyze lactose partially. The resultant lactose-hydrolyzed milk containing 0.43% lactose was then concentrated using a nanofiltration membrane to reach concentration factor of 2.13. The concentration factors and coefficients of retention of milk components in nanofiltration were determined. The concentration factor of milk fat was 2.20 which was the highest of the milk components. The coefficient of retention of calcium and riboflavin was 0.96 and 0.76, respectively. However, the coefficient of retention of glucose, galactose, and sodium was 0.21, 0.15, and 0.22, respectively. Raw milk was treated with 0.1% ${\beta}$-galactosidase at $4^{\circ}C$ for 40 h to hydrolyze lactose fully and then concentrated to reach a concentration factor of 1.6 by using nanofiltration. The concentrated milk was reconstituted with water. The lactose-hydrolyzed milk had sweetness similar to milk. The compositional ratios of crude protein, calcium, sodium, and riboflavin of lactose-hydrolyzed nanofiltrated milk to those of raw milk were 99%, 97%, 77%, and 80%, respectively. This study showed that nanofiltration of lactose-hydrolyzed milk to remove galactose and glucose did not cause significant loss of calcium. The lactose-hydrolyzed nanofiltrated milk contained 0.06% lactose and had sweetness similar to milk.

Algeria is located at the Mediterranean coast of north Africa, 90% of its population is concentrated in the coastal area which is mainly devoted to agriculture. Highland steppe and vast desert climate have determined its food culture. Long arab domination has influenced food of Algeria which has also undergone certain impact of Spanish, Turkish and French occupation. A variety of agricultural products, vegetables, fruits, spices and herbs have determined cooking method and food combination of Algeria. It use neither pork nor alcohol. Its main food consists of bread made from wheat flour and couscous cooked with semoule, Mechuwi, roast lamb and chorba, mixed soup are also typical foods of this region. For climatic reason lamb and chicken are prefered. Energy efficient method is applied to cooking through using oil for saute and water for boiling. Under european influence, Algerian salad used dressing for leaf vegetables, root and other kind vegetables were boiled. Serving with cake and cookies as dessert may possibly be the influence from the French occupation. The cake and cookie are made of wheat flour or other grain flour and take a specific form to be fried sweet with honey. Herbs and spices are widely used in cooking which are easily cultivated in household: mint, basil, rosemary, bayleaf, thyme, sage, fennel, marjoram, coriander, celery. Garlic, onion, piment, red pepper, cinammon are also widely used in an ordinary cooking. Reasonable food combination and economic cooking method could be subject of Algerian food study.
