This study was conducted to analyze the properties of the roasted dandelion tea prepared after various pre-treatments such as pre-drying, steaming and air blast drying. The dandelion tea was prepared by roasting the pre-treated dandelion leaves and its total yield, pH, soluble solid content, turbidity, browning and sensory value were evaluated. Total yield and soluble solid content were the highest in case of air blast drying. Turbidity and browning degree were similar in all the teas regardless of their pre-treatment including pre-drying, steaming or air blast drying. The best palatability in the sensory evaluation was obtained at the steaming condition for 60 sec without pre-drying. Longer air blast drying time resulted in the increase in the a and b values. turbidity, browning degree, total yield and soluble solid content in the air blast dried tea.

Panax ginseng leaves are produced as the by-product when Panax ginseng roots were harvested. The Panax ginseng leaves was examed for the applicable possibility as the functional food. In this study, the changes in chemical composition of Panax ginseng leaves was examed by three methods as the hot-air dried(DRT), the aged tea(AGT) and the heat processed tea(HPT). The general composition of Panax ginseng leaves tea was shown as similar results in 3 different process methods. The level of the crude lipid and reducing sugar concentration were decreased slightly in HPT. The free sugar content of DRT was higher than the HPT and AGT. The existence of the higher content of free sugar composition in order are sucrose, fructose and glucose. The concentration of serine was the highest in the free amino acids, which were shown from 309.6 mg% to 336.6 mg%. The contents of free amino acid in Panax ginseng leaves made by DRT was higher than by AGT and HPT. The concentration of Ca was shown as the highest content among the minerals and was 2,115 mg%. The contents of minerals were existed in order of Ca, K, Mg, P, Na, Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu. But there were hardly any remarkable differences of mineral concentrations of Panax ginseng leaves tea made by different processing methods. The concentration of water soluble solid of Panax ginseng leaves tea processed by HPT was higher than by DRT and AGT. The concentration of ascorbic acid was shown the highest value of 424.4mg% in HPT. There was no differences in the fatty acid composition according to their processing methods. The concentration of palmitic acid was higher than that of other fatty acid. The order of fatty acid concentration were palmitic aicd, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid and stearic acid, abundantly. As a conclusion, HPT was shown as the best process method for the production of Panax ginseng leaves tea.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the addition level (0 ppm, 400 ppm, 800 ppm, and 1,200 ppm) of green tea extract on the lactic acid bacteria, oxidative stability, and aroma in kimchi-fermented sausage. The sample sausages were fermented at $24^{\circ}C/RH$ 89% until attained to a pH value of 4.9 (for 17 h), and then dried at $10^{\circ}C/RH$ 75-80% for 6 d. The lactic acid bacteria count and pH value were 7.5-7.7 Log CFU/g sausage and 4.30-4.33, respectively, at 6 d of ripening. The results of those did not show significant differences among all treatments. The formation of TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was significantly lowered by increasing the addition level of green tea extract. During ripening periods, the CIE $L^*$ and $a^*$ values decreased; however, the $b^*$ value increased due to the addition of green tea extract. Utilizing an electric nose, the aroma pattern was clearly discriminated between green tea extract treatments and the control. Therefore, in kimchi-fermented sausages, the high addition level of green tea extract improved the lipid oxidation stability. In addition, regardless of the addition level, green tea extract changed the aroma while reducing the color stability. Moreover, it did not have any effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

Choline is important for normal membrane function, acetylcholine synthesis and methyl group metabolism. In this study, 185 food items customarily eaten by Koreans were selected from the data of the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey and analyzed on the total choline content of the foods using enzymatic method of choline oxidase. Foods with high choline concentration (mg/100 g) were listed in sequence of quail egg (476.04 mg), dried squid (452.42 mg), beef liver (427.16 mg), pork liver (424.92 mg), tuna canned in oil (414.44 mg), boiled and dried anchovy (381.30 mg), dried Alaskan pollack (378.88 mg), chicken egg (309.88 mg), chicken liver (259.38 mg), soybean (238.62 mg), French bread with garlic (193.18 mg) and barley (183.73 mg). From this result, it is shown that dried fishes, prepared fishes, livers, eggs, pulses and cereals might be categorized as high choline food. Citron tea and green tea showed low choline content below 1 mg. Vegetables and fruits were also categorized into low choline food. No choline was detected in red pepper powder, beer, soju, soybean oil and corn oil out of foods analyzed in this study. Further study is required for analytic procedure of the foods of which results are inconsistent with USDA's data such as rice and wheat flour.

Yew (Taxus cuspidata Sibe) selected cultivation as drug, food and decorative plant in Gyong-gi province in Korea. To extract the water soluble active ingredients, as a extracting method, there was extracted with 20g of dried seeds with each 20g of butylene glycol(BG) and propylene glycol(PG), and 40 mL of water mixing 72 hours at $40{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, and then they were filtrated by 400 mesh. Appearance of extract of seeds was pale brown, $pH=4.5{\pm}0.5$, $gravity=1.013{\pm}0.05$, a reflective $index=1.373{\pm}0.05$, and yield=75%. Also, to extract the high purity oil from seeds, it minutely pulverized the dried seeds and added the hexane, mixing 2 hours at $20{\pm}57^{\circ}C$. And then, this filtrated it with 400-mesh. It got the purified oil through evaporating them at $55^{\circ}C$ during under vacuum. As the results, appearance was slightly brown, gravity=0.922 acid value=0.12, saponification value=192, and it should be obtained the $40{\pm}5%$ of yield. As the efficacy evalution of cosmetic field, the antioxidative activities by NBT method were stronger 86.0% from extract of talus seeds than 52.0% from green tea extract and 35.0% from skullcap extract as well as the antioxidative activities by DPPH method were stronger 93.7% from extract of seed than 60.3% from extract of green tea and 27.1% from extract of skullcap. These are more effective than other plant extracts. The collagen synthesis rate on the activating fibroblast for Taxus cuspidata Sibe extract showed 35.43%. As the activity of the skin elasticity, PPE(porcine pancreatic elastase)-inhibitory activities of talus extract was 50.8%. Anti-inflammatory activity was more effective to be taken 41.1% of taxus seed oil than 24.2% of steady glycyrrhetinate (SG) as a control.

Various types of cropping systems have been developed, such as a highly profitable cropping system, and there is a need to develop for each region. Jack bean [Canavalia ensiformis (L.)] is widely consumed for tea in which young seedpods are dried, roasted, and boiled in water. Jack bean is rich in histidine and urease that improve allergic rhinitis and they are effective in alleviating inflammation. Thus, young dried and roasted seedpods are very profitable. However, only 'young pods (soft, pre-swelling)' should be used for tea processing according to the 'Food Code' (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety). Therefore, the pods to be harvested were set based on a length of more than 20 cm and a thickness of less than 2 cm. In the southern region of Korea, onion and garlic are grown as primary crops in winter. Therefore, the possibility of a cropping system linked with Jack bean in summer was studied. Onion and garlic were sown and transplanted on October 25, 2021. Garlic was harvested on May 23,2022, followed by onion on May 31,2022. After that, the jack bean was transplanted on May 31, June 7, June 17, and June 27 to determine the appropriate period for the transplanting. The young seedpods were harvested 100-110 days after the transplant. Compared to the yield of young seedpods, there was no significant difference according to the transplantation period. Given that young seedpods are harvested before planting onion and garlic, 'Onion - Jack bean' and 'Garlic - Jack bean' cropping systems will be advantageous for income improvement.

To examine effects of drying methods on the formation of N-nitrosamine(NA) in squid during its drying. Three different types of dried products, which were made by sun, hot-air and traditional drying of squid after removal of intestines, were utilized. NA was analyzed by a gas chromatography-thermal energy analyzer. The contents of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen in dried products were in the range of 0 to 5.2mg/kg and 0 to 2.7mg/kg, respectively. The contents of TMAO and betain nitrogen in squid during its drying decreased, while those of TMA and DMA nitrogen increased. The contents in dried products were 27.8~29.2mg% and 10.4~12.3mg/kg, respectively. N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was only detected in squid during its drying, recovery from raw sample and its dried pro- ducts spiked with 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg for NDPA was 81.0~ 100.0%. NDMA in raw samples was found to be below 0.05$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The levels of NDMA in squid increased remarkably during its drying and those in dried products were ranged from 2.7 to 42.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The effects of drying methods in squid were found to be quite different. the levels of NDMA in traditionally dried products were 11~16 and 3~4 times higher than those in sun dried and hot-air dried products, respectively It is believed that high levels of NDMA were detected in traditionally dried products because NDMA was formed from reaction between various amines and nitrogen oxide produced by combustion of briquet during drying of squid.

To obtain the best yield of the beneficial ingredients in green tea, such as catechins, green tea powder is most often prepared by ethyl alcohol extraction. However, the taste, cost and composition of ethyl alcohol extract is different from aqueous spray-dried green tea extract (aq-GTE). Specifically, aq-GTE has a better flavor, lower production costs and higher purity when compared to ethyl alcohol extract. In this study, we elucidated the effect of aq-GTE on diet-induced obesity in male C57BL/6J mice following dose-dependent oral administration of aq-GTE. After eight weeks, the body weight was reduced by 13-17% in mice fed 200 mg/kg bw aq-GTE ($12.468{\pm}0.45\;g$; p<0.05) and 20-25% in mice fed 400 mg/kg bw aq-GTE ($11.259{\pm}0.61\;g$; p<0.05) when compared with the high-fat diet (HFD) control group mice ($14.714{\pm}0.95\;g$; p<0.05). The correlation between epididymal fat accumulation and body weight also decreased by approximately 26.6% (p<0.05) in mice fed a HFD with aq-GTE 400 mg/kg bw. Finally, serum parameters such as the triglyceride, glucose and cholesterol levels in the HFD groups were reduced by the aq-GTE 400 mg/kg bw diet. Analysis on glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen and development of hepatic steatosis revealed no histologic evidence of hepatotoxicity in HFD mice fed aq-GTE. Overall, our results imply that aq-GTE is able to regulate body weight and fat accumulation in mice.
