This study proceeded an experiment that can increase such physiological properties of heated radish extract. During the extraction of radish, including the byproduct, an increase in antioxidant properties of radish according the heating temperature was performed. Upon the extracts of radish bark and radish green extract(mucheong), the physiological functionalities and antioxidant activity were investigated. As a result, the color of radish ethanol extract in dependence of heating temperature, showed light brown color at low heating temperature and black color from $150^{\circ}C$. The total polyphenol content significantly increased as a result of heat treatment; 6.7 times and 22 times higher than the control at $110^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging ability and antioxidant property increased with increasing heating temperature; in comparison to heat-treated radish at $110^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$, $IC_{50}$ decreased by 1/22 times. $IC_{50}$ of the control was 23times higher than $150^{\circ}C$ heat treated radish (Control $IC_{50}$:130.305). According to the graph that represents ABTS activity, antioxidant activity increased in dependence of heat treatment likewise to the total polyphenol content and DDPH radical scavenging activity. Upon heat treatment at $150^{\circ}C$, antioxidant activity in consequence of ABTS assay increased 23 times higher than the control.

In order to enhance bioactive functionalities of ginseng, an acid impregnation processing was applied as a pre-treatment in producing red ginseng. Acid impregnation studies were conducted, and acids (ascorbic, malic, and citric acid) were selected. The optimal concentration of each acid was investigated in this study in terms of ginsenoside contents. The most concerned ginsenoside, $Rg_3$ was increased by ascorbic, malic, and citric acid pre-treated red ginseng up to 1 M acid concentration. In the case of ascorbic acid pre-treated red ginseng, $Rg_2$ concentration was increased depending on acid concentrations. Citric acid pre-treatment enhanced $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$, and $Rh_1+Rh_2$ formation in red ginseng. Therefore, ginsenoside patterns in red ginseng could be changed by acid impregnation pre-treatment depending on acid concentration and acid types. This research is expected to contribute to the development of the ginseng industry via new red ginseng products with selective and intensified functionality.

In general, the application of HP contributes to improvement of functionalities of meat protein. In the current study, HP allowed the lower thermal processing of restructured meat product. Low thermal processing allowed fresh-like meat color which is one of problems in hot-set restructuring, while they showed slight discolorization induced by HP. In addition, HP processing combined with thermal processing could be achieved the palatable binding strength in restructured meat product. The addition of non-meat protein had an effect in binding strength. However, they showed no effect on water binding properties at 200 MPa, especially in milk proteins such as casein and whey protein. This is probably due to protein aggregation or to increase in surface hydrophobicity under HP. This result indicates that the application of HP on meat restructuring is more significant than the addition of binders. Therefore, the application of HP has apotential benefit in restructured meat product, and further investigations are needed.

This study was carried out to estimate the bind values of raw meats which are used as an input constaint in the least-cost formulation of an emulsion-type sausage. The least-cost formulation will be useful for Korean meat processore to produce more effectively as meat-grade system is put in force. The analysis results in compositions, functionalities, and pigment contents of raw meats were various according to the difference of species and their parts. The cohesiveness was correlated positively with moisture or protein content and negatively with fat content. Consequently two multiple regression equations for bind value could be derived from the compositions of raw meats. The equations then may be useful for predicting the bind value of a raw meat which presently has not been analysed.

In order to develop new functional doenjang, two types of medicinal herb doenjang were prepared with several medicinal herbs, bamboo salts and meju and then changes of its physiological functionalities were investigated during 6 months of fermentation. Antihypertensive angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activities of medicinal herb doenjangs were decreased to 39.0∼5l.7% from 61.7∼72.5% after 6 months of fermentation. Fibrinolytic activity and electron donating ability of medicinal herb doenjangs were showed 10.4∼11.3 U and 96.3∼99.1% after 6 months of fermentation, respectively. SOD-like activity of medicinal herb doenjangs were also showed approximate 10% and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 20$^{\circ}C$ -water extracts of medicinal herb doenjang(I) was increased up to 97.6% from 12.9% after 6 months of fermentation. Crude protein content and total sugar content of medicinal herb doenjangs were approximate 14% and 33%, respectively, which were higher than those of traditional doenjang.

The physiological functionalities such as antimicrobial activity, antioxidative activity, angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and bile acid binding capacity were measured for the solvent-fractionated methanol extracts of Alaska pollack sik-hae at various time intervals during fermentation. Two temperature schemes of fermentation were studied: constant temperature of 2$0^{\circ}C$ (A) and stepwise change from 2$0^{\circ}C$ (10 days) to 5$^{\circ}C$ (B). The methanol extracts of Alaska pollack sik-hae showed antimicrobial activities against 9 kinds of micro-organisms including pathogenic and food poisoning strains. Among these, gram positive bacteria, in particular Staphylococcus aureus, showed more sensitivity to the extracts than gram negative bacteria and fungi. Antioxidative activity (EDA$_{50}$) increased until 15 days (A, 0.92 mg/$m\ell$) or 16 days of fermentation (B, 0.94 mg/$m\ell$), and then gradually decreased. ACE inhibitory activity was observed in all fermentation time except 0 day, and bile acid binding capacity at 15 days (A) and 16 days (B) only.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented vegetable probiotic food. The use of high quality ingredients and predominant LAB (lactic acid bacteria)-whether it be ambient bacteria or adding starters, low temperature and facultative anaerobic condition for the fermentation are important factors for preparing kimchi with better taste and functionality. The predominated LAB genera are Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella in kimchi fermentation. The representative species are Leu. mesenteroides, Leu. citrium, Lab. plantarum, Lab. sakei, and Wei. koreensis. Kimchi, especially the optimally fermented kimchi, has various health benefits, including control of colon health, antioxidation, antiaging effects, cancer preventive effect, antiobesity, control of dyslipidemic and metabolic syndrome, etc.; due to the presence of LAB, various nutraceuticals, and metabolites from the ingredients and LAB. The kimchi LAB are good probiotics, exhibiting antimicrobial activity, antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticancer effects, as well as immunomodualatory effect, antiobesity, and cholesterol and lipid lowering effects. Thus, kimchi ingredients, LAB, fermentation methods, and metabolites are important factors that modulate various functionalities. In this review, we introduced recent information showing kimchi and its health benefits in Korean Functional Foods (Park & Ju 2018).

The objective of this study was to evaluate the organoleptic profiles of Kefir and yogurt supplemented with Mentha piperita's (peppermint) oil. The organoleptic profiles of Kefir and yogurt were evaluated by 15 trained panelists between 20 to 50 years of age. The products of Kefir and yogurt were prepared with Mentha piperita's oil at concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1.0%. Taste, color, and overall acceptability scores were the same or lower in Kefir supplemented with 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, or 1.0% Mentha piperita's oil than the control group (0%). The scores of all categories were higher for yogurt containing 0.1% Mentha piperita's oil than the control group. Taste, color, and overall acceptability decreased in proportion to the added amount of Mentha piperita's oil. Further studies are needed to evaluate the functionalities and effectiveness of Mentha piperita's oil in promoting human health.
