  • In order to determine whether green tea tannin ameliorates abnormal arginine metabolism as the result of excessive arginine, we have assessed the effects of the administration of green tea tannin mixture in rats treated 30 days with 2% arginine. In the arginine-treated group, the level of guanidino compounds such as arginine (Arg), guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), creatinine (Cr), methylguanidine (MG) and guanidinosuccinic acid (GSA), nitric oxide, urea, protein and glucose increased significantly in the serum, urine and kidney, whereas the oxygen species-scavenging enzymes of kidney were reduced as compared with the non-arginine-treated group. By way of contrast, the administration of green tea tannin reduced blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, and reduced the urinary excretion of guanidinoacetic acid, creatinine, and $NO_2^-+NO_3^-$. The increased levels of urinary urea, protein and glucose in the arginine-treated group were also lowered by the administration of green tea tannin. In these groups, the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in the kidney were increased, thereby suggesting the involvement of radicals in the normalizing of kidney function. These results show that the abnormal renal function induced by the adminstration of excessive arginine in rats may be restored by treatment with green tea tannin.

  • Our country set the mid-term reduction goal of greenhouse gases up to 2020 in accordance with Bali roadmap agreed in 2007 through the negotiation with UNFCCC in 2009 and specified the proper goal as by the Basic Act on Green Growth that went into effect at April, 2010. First of all the enlargement of green building construction has been suggested as a worldwide strategy to achieve the green house gas reduction. Building area is one of most important sectors for the countermeasure of climate change agreement and the achievement of national green house gas reduction goal and the need to reduce its green house gases has been increased accordingly. The objective of the study is to examine the status and characterization of mass energy consumption local governmental buildings' green house gas emissions depending on usage (hotel, school, apartment, hospital) through the green house gas emission source unit analysis. The result indicated that the energy source unit was proportional to green house gas source unit and hotel showed the highest green house gas emission source unit per open area of construction unit, followed by hospital, apartment, and then school. In case of apartment, green house gas emission source unit per open area of construction unit decreased as year went on. Meanwhile school building showed a striking increase in the annual energy source unit.

  • 본 연구는 늙은호박, 단호박 및 애호박을 다양한 탄수화물 분해효소로 소화하여 조제한 효소가수분해물의 총 폴리페놀 함량과 항산화 활성을 측정하였다. 조회분, 조단백질 및 조섬유는 애호박이 높았으며, 탄수화물은 단호박이 높았고, 조지방은 서로 비슷하였다. 애호박 분말의 모든 효소처리군의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 늙은호박과 단호박의 가수분해물에 비하여 좀 더 높았다. 애호박 분말의 AMG와 Termamyl 소화로 조제된 효소가수분해물의 DPPH 유리기 소거활성 또한 늙은호박 및 단호박에 비하여 매우 높게 나타났다. 한편, Visozyme 처리 가수분해물을 제외한 늙은호박과 단호박의 대부분 가수분해물은 애호박보다 더 높은 superoxide anion 소거활성을 나타내었다. 애호박 가수분해물(Ultraflo 예외)의 hydrogen peroxide 소거활성은 다른 호박의 효소 분해물 보다 약간 높았으나, hydroxyl radical 소거활성은 모든 호박 품종에서 14% 미만으로 낮았다. Nitric oxide 소거활성은 단호박 및 애호박의 Viscozyme 분해물에서 매우 효과적이었으며, 다른 효소가수분해물의 경우에도 BHT보다는 낮았으나 $\alpha$-tocopherol보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adding different amounts (0, 4, 8, 12, 16%) of green laver powder to Sulgidduk, a traditional Korean rice cake product, in terms of textural properties and sensory characteristics. During storage, moisture content was reduced less in the green laver-added samples as compared to the control group. With increasing additions of green laver powder, L-values decreased, a-values increased significantly, and b-values decreased; however, no changes were observed in the control group. In the mechanical evaluations, hardness increased less during storage in the green laver added samples than in the control group. Adhesiveness did not differ significantly by the addition of green laver powder. Springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness showed significant differences, and increased or decreased repeatedly during storage. In the sensory evaluations, the 16% green laver group received the highest scores for color, flavor, and taste Moistness and softness were evaluated higher in the green laver groups as compared to the control group; however, moistness, softness, and elasticity did not differ significantly during storage.

  • Background: Green tea contains numerous polyphenols, which have health-promoting effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tannase-converted green tea extract (TGE) formulation on the physical stability and activities of skin-related enzymes. Methods: Physical stability was evaluated by measuring the pH, precipitation, and colors at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ /ambient humidity and at $40{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ \70%${\pm}$5% relative humidity for 4 months. Activities of collagenase, elastase, and tyrosinase as skin-related enzymes were assessed on TGE formulation. Results: The concentrations of epigallocatechin-3-gallate and epicatechin-3-gallate in green tea extract were greatly decreased to the extent of negligible level when treated with tannase. The formulation containing 5% tannase-converted green tea extract showed relatively stable pH, precipitation, and color features for 16 weeks. When TGE was added to the formulation, there was a significant increase in the inhibition of elastase and tyrosinase activities (p<0.05) compared with the formulation containing 5% normal green tea extract. Conclusion: The TGE could be used in cosmetics as skin antiwrinkling or depigmenting agent.

  • The study investigated the effect of food safety knowledge, food safety trust and the factors influencing organic food purchase intention in the 'new normal' of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed non-contrived and cross-sectional methods. The data was collected in Malaysia using convenience sampling. A total of 330 valid questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and PROCESS for hypothesis testing. The study revealed a significant relationship involving food safety knowledge on personal attitude, perceived social pressure, and perceived autonomy. Moreover, organic food purchase intention was found to be influenced by personal attitude, perceived social pressure, and perceived autonomy. Interestingly, trust in organic food safety moderated the relationship between perceived autonomy and organic food purchase intention. The study proved valuable for stakeholders and organic food producers to understand the 'new normal' COVID-19 market scenario for a sound understanding of the market and the sustainability of the organic food industry. A new research framework is proposed and validated, related to individual purchase decision in global health issues which is limited in current literature. Hence, the study contributed to a better comprehension of green consumerism mainly in the Asian market.
