Tom coagulated with $CaCl_2$ was used to make high-Ca soy milk, named tofu milk. Physicochemical analysis of regular soy milk and tofu milk adjusted at various pH and/or heat-treated was carried out. Unheated and heat treated tofu milk kept stable conoldal state at pH 8. The solubility of soy milk was low at pH 4 but increased gradually at higher pH, while mat of tofu milk was almost unchanged between pH 4 and pH 7 but increased rapid1y above pH 8. At pH 8, the viscosity of tofu milk was almost the same as soy milk, while mat of heat-heated tofu milk was much higher man that of soy milk. Especially, steamed tofu milk seemed to be a thick paste unable to drink, but autoclaved tofu milk was suitable to drink. Phytic acid content of tofu milk was somewhat lower man mat of soy milk.

Acrylamide is considered as potential carcinogen and genotoxicant. Swedish National Food Administration reported that acrylamide was detected in heat treated starch rich food products. Acrylamide formation during food processing was confirmed by researchers of other countries including UK, Norway, Japan, Switzerland, and United States. It is noticed that the formation of acrylamide in potato products was greater than other food products. It may be due to high concentration of asparagine and glucose in potato products comparing to those of other food products. Interaction between asparagine and glucose during heat treatment resulted in acrylamide formation via Maillard reaction. Analytical method (LC-MS/MS) adopted by FDA was performed to monitor acrylamide concentrations in domestic food products. Acrylamide quantitation in several food categories, such as raw materials, boiled foods, fried foods, hardtacks, breads, breakfast cereals, potato chips, french fries, biscuits, and others, were carried out.

In our previous report, we indicated that not only BSA but also BGG played an important role in the allergenicity of beef. In this study, the effect of heat or high-pressure treatments to beef extract on the SDS-PAGE patterns was examined. The antigenicity of each treated samples was also investigated by Western blots assay with the sera of BGG-positive beef allergic patients. The BGG band and its antigenicity slightly disappeared but not generally in $100^{\circ}C$ group, indicating $100^{\circ}C$ treatment is not sufficient to totally eliminate the antigenicity of beef allergens. Compared with BGG band, BSA band significantly disappeared in SDS-PAGE with $100^{\circ}C$ treatment, indicating BSA is more heat- sensitive than BGG. When the beef extract was heated at $120^{\circ}C$, not only BSA but also BGG bands was largely disappeared in both SDS-PAGE and Western blots. High pressure (HP) treatment even at 600 MPa did not affect SDS-PAGE and Western blots pattern of BSA. On the contrary, BGG treated with HP showed visible changes in SDS-PAGE. 600 MPa treatment significantly reduced the antigencity. Interestingly, these behaviors of BGG were not found in the same experiments with pure BGG treated with HP. From these results, it was speculated that some kinds of proteolytic enzymes in beef extracts were involved in the BGG molecular degradation by HP treatment. The aging experiments of beef extracts treated with HP supported this hypothesis. Further studies are needed to clarify the function and working mechanism of enzymes associated with BGG degradation in beef extracts by HP treatment.

The objectives of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of raw, microwave-treated, steam-treated and high temperature and pressure-treated garlic. The hardness and strength of microwave-treated and steam-treated garlic decreased compared to raw garlic. The hardness and softness increased but strength decreased in dried garlic-treated at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr. The reducing sugar content of raw garlic was 0.041 g/100 g, and reducing sugar content of high temperature and pressure-treated garlic increased temperature. Total polyphenol content of microwave-treated and steam-treated decreased compared to raw garlic, while that of high temperature and pressure-treated increased with increasing temperature. $IC_{50}$ value of the electron donating ability of raw garlic was 3.07 mg/mL, and the highest $IC_{50}$ value was 2.16 mg/mL for microwave-treated garlic at the 4 min. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of raw garlic was 40.94 mg AEAC/mL, and the highest AEAC value was 76.51 mg AEAC/mL with high temperature and pressure-treated garlic at $150^{\circ}C$ at the 2 hr.

The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the biochemical characteristics of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in response to boiling water bath ($85^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$) and autoclaving ($100^{\circ}C$) heat treatments for 5, 10, 15, and 20 min. The weight loss (7.6-9.5%) of oysters exposed to a $100^{\circ}C$ boiling water bath for 15 min was lower compared to those receiving no treatment. Oysters exposed to the $100^{\circ}C$ boiling water bath for 20 min lost 27.8% of their total weight. The $100^{\circ}C$ autoclaving treatment resulted in weight loss of 13.0-26.1%, with the highest weight loss occurring after 10 min of treatment (26.1%). Heat-treated oysters had significantly higher levels of crude lipid and crude protein relative to untreated oysters (P<0.05). In the heat-treated oysters, total amino acids (including proline and glutamic acid) were increased, but they were decreased by the 20-min $100^{\circ}C$ boiling water bath and autoclaving treatments. The fatty acid composition of oysters was not significantly affected by the water bath heat treatment, but oysters treated with $100^{\circ}C$ autoclaving for 20 min had decreased polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oysters exposed to the water bath heat treatment had significantly increased vitamin A content, but $100^{\circ}C$ autoclaving for 20 min was associated with reduced vitamin A content, as compared to all of the other heat treatments. Therefore, oysters were affected by heat treatment, undergoing metamorphosis and weight loss, but nutrient quality did not change significantly compared to controls, except with the 20-min $100^{\circ}C$ boiling water bath and autoclaving treatments.

The free radical scavenging activities of extracts from kimchi, as well as various antioxidant activities, such as 2,2-azinobis-( 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were examined. Specifically, the ABTS radical scavenging and FRAP activities of ethanolic extracts from kimchi (kimchi with non-treated salt fermented anchovy, treated non-heat salt fermented anchovy, treated heat salt fermented anchovy and commercial salt-fermented anchovy) were $0.749{\pm}0.26$, $0.895{\pm}0.15$, $0.758{\pm}0.12$, and $0.769{\pm}0.02$ mM Trolox eq./mg extract and $0.727{\pm}0.11$, $0.901{\pm}0.03$, $0.811{\pm}0.17$, and $0.843{\pm}0.16$ mM $FeSO_4$ eq./mg extract, respectively. In addition, the antioxidant activity of extract from kimchi was estimated in vivo. Mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=6), and treated with LPS for 10 days, which resulted in lower antioxidant capacities as well as increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values in the blood serum. Furthermore, antioxidant enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) in blood serum increased in the presence of the kimchi. The present results reveal antioxidant activities from kimchi and encourage their application for the food industry and cooking.

The effects of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) on rice flour (RF) have been investigated for possibility of texture modifier in protein-based foods matrix, tofu. The optimum condition for preparation of tofu with maximum textural parameters was investigated by using response surface methodology (RSM). Rice flour was subjected to moisture content (10-30%) and heating temperature (100-140℃). Based on the response surface and superimposed plots, the optimized conditions of hydrothermally treated rice flour was as followed: moisture content, 22%; temperature, 130℃, which showed lower swelling power as compared to native RF and became more stable during continuous heating and agitation than native one. Tofu, prepared with HMT-RF, showed a denser network structure than that with RF, thereby inducing an increase in textural parameters. From the above results, the addition of HMT-RF could preserve the quality of tofu and be useful for developing an acceptable protein-based food product.

Early harvested Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) was treated with hot air at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, and 6 hours and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks and additional one week at 18$^{\circ}C$ (simulated shelf-life) in order to examine the effect of mild heat treatment on the storage quality of the citrus fruits. Quality attributes of the sample fruits evaluated during storage included the respiration rate, internal gas composition, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, flesh weight loss, firmness, peel color, decay ratio, and sensory properties. The initial respiration rates, just after hot air treatment, were significantly higher in the heat-treated fruits compared to the untreated. However, during storage at 5$^{\circ}C$, the respiration rates showed a similar level in all treatments. Internal gas composition exhibited no significant difference between the heat-treated and untreated samples. Hot air treatment also exerted no significant effects on the pH, titratable acidity, soluble solid contents, flesh weight loss, firmness, and peel color of the fruits during the whole storage period. The decay ratio was manifestly lower in the heat-treated fruits than the untreated. For sensory attributes including visual and organoleptic quality, no significant difference was observed among sample fruits. Results suggested that mild heat treatment with hot air at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4-6 hours could be used as an effective preconditioning method to keep the postharvest quality of Satsuma mandarin by reducing the decay incidence remarkably during storage.

Mistletoe (Viscum album) has been widely used as a functional food material for various therapeutic purposes from ancient time. In this study, we examined anti-diabetic and cytotoxic activities of heated-treated mistletoe and the effects of gamma-irradiation on its activities. Heat-treated mistletoe extract was prepared by heating during different time (3, 6, 9 and 12 h) and gamma-irradiated with different doses of 0, 10, 30, 50, 70 and 100 kGy. Heat-treated mistletoe extracts showed a concentration-dependent cytotoxicity on rat insulinoma RINm5F cells and the effect was gradually decreased as heating time increased up to 12 h. 12 h heat-treated extract was no cytotoxic. Gamma-irradiation enhanced the reduction of heat-treated mistletoe-induced cytotoxicity and the decreasing effect was an irradiating dose-dependent. In particular, all of 70 kGy irradiated and heat-treated mistletoe extracts did not showed the cytotoxicity and the effect was comparable to 12 h heat-treated mistletoe extract. Among those extracts, 3 h heat-treated mistletoe extract gradually increased the insulin secreting activity by gamma-irradiation and the effect was the best at 70 kGy, whereas 12 heat-treated extract was no effect. On the test of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, 3 h heat-treated mistletoe extract showed the concentration dependent effects and gamma-irradiation induced more activity at 70 kGy, compared to non-irradiated 3 h and 12 h heated mistletoe extracts. These results suggest that the combination of heat treatment and gamma-irradiation might be more effective than only heat-treatment for improving the anti-diabetic activity of mistletoe extract and reducing its cytotoxicity.

To maintain high quality and to extend the shelf life of intact and minimally processed apple cubes, the effect of heat shock on the texture and color of apple cubes (Fuji) was evaluated in this study. After peeled and cored, the apples were cut into cubes of 1.5 cm. The heat shock was immersion in heated water from 25$^{\circ}C$ to 95$^{\circ}C$ in 10$^{\circ}C$ increments for 2 min and cooling to storage temperature as soon as possible after heat treatment. The effect of heat treatment in terms of color and texture measurements with respect to time was investigated, respectively during 7 days storage at in LDPE film bags without sealing at 4$^{\circ}C$, and 95% relative humidity air. Results suggest that heat shock (55$^{\circ}C$, 2 min) may have effectively delayed browning, and there were significant changes in color of apple cube when the temperature of heat shock is above 75$^{\circ}C$. And hardness, stiffness and firmness, which were used to describe texture, behaved similarly in the textural qualities. It was shown that the texture of the apple cubes was decreased with temperature increase. The value of them were most decreased to 70% of the initial ones after treated with 85$^{\circ}C$ and 95$^{\circ}C$ on the lust day.
