Fibrionolytic activity(FA) of kimchi in rat and FAs of water and methanol extracts of kimchi ingredient were determined using fibrin plate method to see where the active principles for FA are present in kimchi. Nine Sprague-Dawley per each group were fed diet containing 3, 5 or 10% of freeze dried kimchi for 6 weeks. The FA of plasma obtained from 10% kimchi group showed stronger FA than that of control. FAs of 3 and 5% kimchi group were not noticeable. FA from methanol extract of kimchi was approximately 6 times higher than that from water extract assuming that the active material may be present in a fat soluble fraction. From water extract of kimchi ingredients, dropwort, green onion, radish and baechu showed FA in descending order. And from methanol extracts, red pepper powder, radish, green onion and baechu showed FA in decending order. The Fa of methanol extract of red pepper powder was the most noticeable among samples.

The effects of processing conditions on the ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of radish were investigated at various temperatures, pHs and drying conditions. The ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of radish root was 3.1-fold higher than that of radish trunk. As the freeze-dried radish was incubated at various temperatures and pHs, ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was stably maintained at pH range of $4{\sim}7$ and temperature of $25{\sim}40^{\circ}C$. When radish was processed to kakdugi and danmooji, the residual ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was 45.39% and 19.19%, respectively. Consequently, the ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was greatly affected by processing conditions such as heat treatment and pH. It is suggested that radish should be processed at below $60^{\circ}C$ and at neutral to acidic pH condition.

The effect of citric acid-aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) treatment of radish seeds artificially contaminated with Salmonella typhimurium was studied. Radish seeds were inoculated by immersion, in more than 106 log CFU/g seed, of a suspension of S. typhimurium, dried, and stored sealed at $4^{\circ}C$ Radish seeds soaked in 200 ppm aqueous ClO2 solution for 10 min showed a bacterial reduction of 1.08 log CFU/g seed, and the lowering of microbial burden noted in seeds soaked in 2% (w/v) citric acid solution for 10 min was 2.89 log CFU/g seed. Next, radish seeds were exposed to 0.5% (v/v) glycerol solution for 10 min either before or after treatment with 200 ppm aqueous ClO2 or 2% (w/v) citric acid for 10 min. Glycerol exposure after citric acid treatment reduced bacteria by 3.46 log CFU/g seed, and glycerol treatment after aqueous $ClO_2$ treatment reduced the microbial burden by 2.14 log CFU/g seed. Both glycerol treatments yielded better elimination of S. typhimurium than did a single treatment with either citric acid or aqueous $ClO_2$. Radish seeds inoculated with S. typhimurium were treated throughout the entire growth period. Although radish seed treatment was effective, treatment by citric acid and aqueous $ClO_2$ after sprouting was not effective to eliminate S. typhimurium.

The antiradical property of hot water extract from dried radish (DR) or dried radish roasted with pressure (DRRP) was investigated in vitro and in LLC-PK1 cell system. The contents of total free amino acid and reducing sugar in DR were decreased by 72.86% and 3.17%, respectively, after pressurized roasting. In vitro test, $IC_{50}$ for DR and DRRP for DPPH radical scavenging activity were 646.70 and $135.45\;{\mu}g/mL$, 896.10 and $566.98\;{\mu}g/mL$ for superoxide anion radical, and 722.26 and $531.84\;{\mu}g/mL$ for hydroxy radical, respectively. The radical scavenging effects of DRRP was significantly greater than those for DR (p<0.001). These radical scavenging effects of DR and DRRP were confirmed in LLC-$PK_1$ at which oxidative stresses were induced by superoxide, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite generated in the treatment of pyrogallol, SNP, and SIN-1, respectively. Cell viability was increased in the presence of DR or DRRP, dose dependently (p<0.05), and TBARS formation was decreased. The protective effects of DRRP against oxidative damage in LLC-$PK_1$ were greater than those of DR at the same concentration tested (p<0.05). This superior antiradical activity of DRRP might be due to the products produced during the pressurized roasting in addition to the antioxidative compounds originally present in the radish. 5-hydroxyl methyl furfural (5-HMF) known as an intermediate product of the maillard reaction was detected in DRRP (0.57 mg/g), but not from DR. In conclusion, daily consumption of DRRP may prevent oxidative damage by retarding oxidative stress.

This study investigated the possibility of usage of freeze-dried ingredients for the preparation of Nabak kimchi. The quality characteristics of Nabak kimchi using freeze-dried ingredients (radish, kimchi cabbage, green onion, garlic and ginger) were monitored during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The initial pH of Nabak kimchi was 5.76~5.93, however, it decreased significantly over increasing storage periods (p<0.05). The titratable acidity of Nabak kimchi increased during storage, reaching 0.43~1.08%. Among the freeze-dried samples, those treated with freeze-dried radish and minor ingredients showed lower titratable acidity than that of the control. The initial number of total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria were 5.57~6.25, and 5.52~6.24 log CFU/g, respectively. After 28 days, the population of total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria in the raw ingredients and freeze-dried minor ingredients was less than 8.0 log CFU/g, but more than 9.0 log CFU/g in other samples. Yeasts and molds in Nabak kimchi were detected up to 2~3 log CFU/g, but coliforms were not detected in all samples during storage. The score of firmness and overall acceptability in the control, raw ingredients and freeze-dried minor ingredients were significantly higher than others (p<0.05). These results indicated that freeze-dried ingredients, such as green onion, garlic, and ginger, can be used in kimchi and would delay microbial growth and extend the shelf-life of kimchi without any deduction of sensory quality.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of roasted dried radish (RDR) against renal oxidative stress were examined in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. The HFD was prepared by adding lard to chow diet to provide 50% of the calories from fat. Hot water extracts of dried radish (DR) or RDR were administered orally to mice at 237 mg/kg bw/day, whereas distilled water was administered as a vehicle for 12 weeks. Compared to the control group, renal reactive oxygen species, peroxynitrite, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance level in the DR or RDR group were significantly decreased, whereas the glutathione level was increased (p<0.05). Protein expressions of antioxidant factors such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2, heme oxygenase-1, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were significantly increased in the DR and RDR groups; however, nuclear factor-kappa B expression was suppressed (p<0.05). These antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of RDR were found to be significantly greater than those of DR.

We investigated the effects of different phosphate replacements on the quality of ground pork products cured with sodium nitrite or radish powder to determine their potential for achieving clean-label pork products. The experimental design was a 2×5 factorial design. For this purpose, the ground meat mixture was assigned into two groups, depending on nitrite source. Each group was mixed with 0.01% sodium nitrite or 0.4% radish powder together with 0.04% starter culture, and then processed depending on phosphate replacement [with or without 0.5% sodium tripolyphosphate; STPP (+), STPP (-), 0.5% oyster shell calcium (OSC), 0.5% citrus fiber (CF), or 0.5% dried plum powder (DPP)]. All samples were cooked, cooled, and stored until analysis within two days. The nitrite source had no effect on all dependent variables of ground pork products. However, in phosphate replacement treatments, the STPP (+) and OSC treatments had a higher cooking yield than the STPP (-), CF, or DPP treatments. OSC treatment was more effective for lowering total fluid separation compared to STPP (-), CF, or DPP treatments, but had a higher percentage than STPP (+). The STPP (+) treatment did not differ from the OSC or CF treatments for CIE L^* and CIE a^*. Moreover, no differences were observed in nitrosyl hemochrome content, lipid oxidation, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness between the OSC and STPP (+) treatments. In conclusion, among the phosphate replacements, OSC addition was the most suitable to provide clean-label pork products cured with radish powder as a synthetic nitrite replacer.

Purpose: This study (a) investigated the effect of microwave power intensity and sample thickness on microwave drying characteristics of radish strips, and (b) determined the best-fit drying model for describing experimental drying data, effective moisture diffusivity ($D_{eff}$), and activation energy ($E_a$) for all drying conditions. Methods: A domestic microwave oven was modified for microwave drying and equipped with a small fan installed on the left upper side for removing water vapor during the drying process. Radishes were cut into two fixed-size strip shapes (6 and 9 mm in thickness). For drying experiments, the applied microwave power intensities ranged from 180 to 630 W at intervals of 90 W. Six drying models were evaluated to delineate the experimental drying curves of both radish strip samples. The effective moisture diffusivity ($D_{eff}$) was determined from Fick's diffusion method, and the Arrhenius equation was applied to calculate the activation energy ($E_a$). Results: The drying time was profoundly decreased as the microwave power intensity was increased regardless of the thickness of the radish strips; however, the drying rate of thicker strips was faster than that of the thinner strips up to a certain moisture content of the strip samples. The majority of the applied drying models were suitable to describe the drying characteristics of the radish strips for all drying conditions. Among the drying models, based on the model indices, the best model was the Page model. The range of estimated $D_{eff}$ for both strip samples was from $2.907{\times}10^{-9}$ to $1.215{\times}10^{-8}m^2/s$. $E_a$ for the 6- and 9-mm strips was 3.537 and 3.179 W/g, respectively. Conclusions: The microwave drying characteristics varied depending on the microwave power intensity and the thickness of the strips. In order to produce high-quality dried radish strips, the microwave power intensity should be lower than 180 W.
