This study explores the potential of utilizing meat byproducts, specifically chicken and beef liver, to enhance the nutritional value of processed foods like chicken nuggets. Proximate analysis was conducted on the livers, including moisture, ash, fat, and protein content, and degradation potential was observed. Antioxidant potential was analyzed through 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The total phenolic content (TPC), oxidative stability through peroxide value (POV), and free fatty acid (FFA) were performed to evaluate quality changes during seven-day storage. The radical scavenging activity showed that beef liver has excellent antioxidant capacity (61.55%- and 195.89- mM gallic acid equivalent for DPPH and TPC, respectively) compared to chicken liver and significantly increased the antioxidant potential of nuggets by 5%-10%. POV and FFA values increased with increased storage days for the liver and its incorporation in nuggets. However, the values remained under the 10 meq/kg threshold. Incorporating the livers into chicken nuggets led to a significant (p=0.000) improvement in nutritional content, particularly a 1.5%-2% increase in protein, with a similar increase in mineral content. Texture and sensory evaluations indicated favorable consumer acceptability for liver-enriched nuggets. Overall, this research shows the value of adding liver as a functional ingredient to enhance the nutritional profile of processed foods.

Proteins in whey have prebiotic and antimicrobial properties. Whey protein comprises numerous bioactive proteins and peptides, including glycomacropeptide (GMP), a hydrophilic casein peptide that separates with the whey fraction during cheese making. GMP has traditionally been used as a protein source for individuals with phenylketonuria and also has prebiotic (supporting the growth of Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria) and antimicrobial activities. GMP supplementation may help positively modulate the gut microbiome, help treat dysbiosis-related gastrointestinal disorders and improve overall health in consumers.

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for determination of 11 ginsenosides in black ginseng (BG, white ginseng that is subjected to 9 cycles of $95^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr). After eluted by gradient elution of water-acetonitrile without buffer in 70 min, 11 ginsenosides in BG were identified. The proposed method provided good linearity ($R^2$>0.9995), accuracy (92.2-106.6%), and intra- and interday precision (RSD<2.6%). In addition, ginsenosides compositions in white, red, and black ginsengs were investigated using this method, respectively. Interestingly, in BG, the content of ginsenoside $Rg_3$ which does not existed in white ginseng was 7.51 mg/g, approximately 20 times than that in red ginseng.

The green tea market is rapidly growing and identifying the driving factors of consumers' liking for the green tea is important in the tea industries. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of manufacturing conditions of the green tea on its sensory characteristics, to elucidate its relationship with the consumer liking. A descriptive analysis and consumer acceptability test were conducted for various green tea samples. The samples differed with regard to the source of the tea, the amino acid content, and the processing methods including the roasting temperature. Partial least square regressions (PLS-R) were performed to establish the relationship between the descriptive data and the consumer acceptability data. The PLS-R results showed that the majority of the consumers liked a green tea which has a stronger 'sweet taste' and roasting-related flavors such as 'roasted barley' and 'burnt leaf'. Such sensory characteristics were produced when a sample made of tea leaves mixed with the tea stem was roasted at a high temperature ($250^{\circ}C$) in this study.

Various levels of antibacterial activity have been identified for water and ethanol extracts of corn silk, particularly against Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 2515. In general, the water extract was more effective than the ethanol extract. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the water extract was 7.5 mg/disc for S. typhimurium KCTC 2515 and B. cereus KCTC 1092, as well as for the ethanol extract against S. typhimurium KCTC 2515 and S. typhimurium KCTC 1925. However, the MICs for the water extract were lower than those for the ethanol extract against all bacteria tested, except S. typhimurium KCTC 1925 and B. cereus KCTC 1014. The growth of the tested organisms in the synthesized broth medium was inhibited with the addition of 5-fold levels of MIC. Using sterilized milk as the model food system, we found that the lag phase for these microorganisms was extended up to 3 days at $20^{\circ}C$, but was not affected at $4^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that bacterial growth was strongly inhibited by corn silk extract at $20^{\circ}C$.

Solid fats were esterified with solid phase of rice bran oil (S-RBO), palm stearin (PS), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) at 2 substrate mole ratios (S-RBO:PS:CLA of 1:1:2 and 1:3:4). The major fatty acids were palmitic, oleic, and CLA in 36 hr products. The solid fat content (SFC) of the 1:1:2 product was 12.8% while the SFC of 1:3:4 product was 45.1% at $20^{\circ}C$. The SFCs after $20^{\circ}C$ reduced when the reaction time increased from 1 to 36 hr, suggesting that the change of triacylglycerol species was augmented by extending reaction time.
