  • The effect of irradiation of heat treatment either alone or in combination on the shelf-life of mixed mountain edible herb drinks (MMEHD) was investigated during storage. The MMEHD made from fresh Spuriopinella bracycarpar, Ligularia fischeri and Aster scaber was gamma -irradiated at doses of 0.1 kGy to 1 kGy. Microbial population, color change, vitamin C content, and sensory quality were evaluated during storage at 4, 25 and 35oC. Heated MMEHD induced the growth of total counts, mold and yeast as compared to the non-heated MMEHD. While some reduction in the microbial growth was observed in 1kGy-irradiated groups of both with or without heating. In both groups, L and b values decreased, but a value increased during storage. Also, heating drinks showed increased L and b values and reduced a value, compared to the non-heating drinks. Non-heated drinks showed 82% loss of vitamin C, whereas 25% loss of vitamin C was occurred in the irradiated drinks during storage at 4oC for 4days. In the meanwhile, non-irradiated heating drinks showed 99% loss of vitamin C, but irradiated heating drinks showed 58-65% reduction of vitamin C. Non-irradiated drinks without heating showed more bright color than irradiated ones, but irradiated drinks showed more enhanced brightness during storage. Also, irradiated drinks showed better falvor, sensory quality, and overall acceptability than non-irradiated drinks.

  • Hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by viral infection are among the most prevalent causes of death in Korea. Several medicines have been in use despite their nonsatisfactory effects on these disease. Some herbal medicines put to use recently have not shown beneficial effects, either. This paper evaluates the effects of extracts from 10 traditional Korean herbal medicines on rats with hepatic damage induced by galactosamine. Rubus coreanus showed an anti-inflammatory effect as shown on the data of activities of serum transaminases.

  • 대부분의 산채는 한 계절에만 생산되므로 연중 공급될 수 있는 건조 상태로 유통된다. 건조 산채에 필요한 제품화 기술로는 재수화시간 단축기술, 간편 즉석 산채와 즉석 조리 산채의 제품화 기술 등이다. 식품소재로의 응용분야 확대를 위해서는 산채를 미분화하여 일반식품소재화 하는 방법이 적합하다. 그러나 전분함량이 낮은 산채류는 분쇄력이 가해지기 어려워 공업 규모에서의 미분말 제조가 곤란하고 비용적인 문제로 용도가 제한된다. 따라서 산채의 식품소재화 공정에서 중요한 핵심기술은 분쇄이므로 저비용에서의 미분말 제조기술 개발이 필요하다.

  • The effects of dip treatments of chemicals (ascorbic acid, cystein, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, histidine: 1% solution) and medicinal herbs (Pueraria thunbergiana, Angelica gigas, Dioscorea japonica, Lindera strychifolia, Cnidium officinale, Astragalus membranaceus: 1% extracts), heat shock ($40-60^{\circ}C$ water), and edible coating (albumin, dextrin, sucrose poly ester, whole soy flour: 0.5-4% solution) on the browning degree of fresh-cut 'Fuji' apples were studied. Among the each treatment methods, the surface browning of fresh-cut apples was best retarded by calcium chloride dip, Astragalus membranaceus dip, $45-50^{\circ}C$ heat shock, coating with 3% dextrin or 1% whole soy flour. The results suggest that the treatments of medicinal herbs extracts, heat shock, and edible coating can be used as alternative for the use of chemical agents for the antibrowning of fresh-cut apples.

  • To develop a natural food preservatives from medicinal herbs (62 species), antimicrobial test was performed with hot water and ethanol extracts against Escherchia coli, Listeria monocytogens and Candida albicans by paper disk method. And its result as a first screening test, 7 kinds of medicinal herbs were selected, and more precise analysis was conducted at last 3 kinds of medicinal herbs was finally selected. Therminalia chebula Retz and Rhus javanica has a broad antimicrobial spectrums and has a low MIC values. In growth inhibition test, they showed a very strong antimicrobial activity aganist Listeria monocytogens. If there has a elaborate approaches in its characteristics and properties, some good result must followed in making a powerful natural antimicrobial preservatives.

  • Recently, some patients have visited the emergency department for treatment of different symptoms of acute poisoning after intake of unidentified herbs, which can be mistaken for wild edible greens, because wild edible greens are good for health and contain vitamins, enzymes, minerals, fibers, and anticancer materials. Winter or early spring, is extremely high, with rapid onset of severe symptoms of poisoning. There have been no reports of poisoning by SymplocarpusRenifolius in Korea, however, we report on three severe cases involving patients who experienced cardiogenic shock with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest discomfort, dizziness, numbness, and general weakness.

  • Eighteen kinds of medicinal edible herbs, which are nontoxic and has been widely used in traditional folk medicine, were extracted and antimicrobial activity of the extracts was investigated against various foodborne pathogens or food poisoning microorganisms. Among them, the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica showed the strongest antimicrobial activities against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and followed by Quercus aliena and Quercus dentata, respectively. Thus, further study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial activity of Quercus species extracts. The plants were extracted with ethanol, methanol and water, respectively. The ethanol, methanol, and water extracts of Quercus mongolica leaf showed 10~21 mm inhibition zone against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria at two thousand $\mu\textrm{g}$ per disc, but little antimicrobial activity was observed against fungi and yeast. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf was 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL against Bacillus cereus. Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 62.5~125 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, respectively.

  • Beverages using mountain edible herbs(MEH) were formulated by determining optimum ratio of juices of MEH to several other ingredients. Fermented beverages were made by mixing juices(1 volume) fermented with Lactobacillus helverticus with syrup(3 volumes), followed by homogenization and flavoring . The general analysis and quality change of the beverages during storage were Peformed. The analysis of the beverages showed that the pH of Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were 3.8 and 3.7, titratable acidities were 0.50 and 0.49, optical densities were 1.201 and 1.119, respectively, The pH and color were not significantly changed when Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were stored at room temperature and 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. The pH of Synurs deltoides beverage ranged 3.95~3.96 and pH of Cirsium sctidens was 3.83~3.95 at room temperature and 3.87~3.98 at 37$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The analysis of fermented beverages showed that pHs of Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were 3.65 and 3.70, titratable acidities were 0.57 and 0.60. Solids-non-fat were 3.2 and 3.1, and total counts of lactic acid bacteria were 2.5$\times$10$^{8}$ and 4.0$\times$10$^{8}$ , respectively. The changes of pH and titratable acidities stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days were 3.39~3.56 and 0.61~0.81 for Synurus deltoides and 3.48~3.67 and 0.60~0.78 for Cirsium sctidens, respectively.

  • In order to search for blood anticoagulant substance from herbal extracts, we extracted with cold water (Fr. I), methanol (Fr. II) and hot water (Fr. III) from 93 commercially available herbs. The anticoagulant activity of herbal extracts was examined through the intrinsic pathway by activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), the extriansic pathway by prothrombin time (PT) and the common pathway by thrombin time (TT). Onion, garlic, clove, fenugreek, mugwort, thyme and sage had on anticoagulant activity with intrinsic pathway and mint, italian seasoning, rosemary, turmeric, tarragon and wasabie had on anticoagulant activity with common pathway. Nobody had on anticogulant activity with extrinsic pathway. Among commerical herbs tested, clove cultivated in holland was selected because it showed the most potent anticoagulant activity among the samples investigated.
