This study was carried to develop the new functional food material by exploring natural antioxidant substances of Crotalaria sessiflora L. We compared antioxidative activity of potential antioxidant substances extracted from Crotalaria sessiflora L. The order of extract yield of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were stem > loaves > seed > root. Antioxidative activities of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were measured by total polyphenol contents EDA (electron donating activity), SOD (superoxide dismutase) -like activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging ability. Total polyphenol acid content was much higher in leaves Ex than other extracts. And leaves Ex showed the most excellent antioxidative activity ($86.27\%$) in terms of SOD-like activity. The EDA was ordered loaves Ex > stem Ex > seed Ex > root Ex. Hydroxy radical scavenging ability was the most effective in loaves Ex, and hydorogen Peroxide radical scavenging ability was the highest in seed Ex. Therefore we could be certain that leaves Ex was the most effective in antioxidative activity from Crotalaria sessiflora L.

The antioxidative effect of tea extracts from green tea, oolong tea and black tea was investigated. The extraction yields of crude catechin were green tea 5.4%, oolong tea 3.5%, and black tea 2.5%. Green tea, oolong tea and black tea of crude catechin showed antioxident activity at concentrations of 200ppm, and the oolong tea showed highest antioxidant effect. The browning intensities(at 420 nm) of green, oolong and black tea were 0.140, 0.582 and 0.915, respectively and green tea showed highest hydrogen donating ability(HDA) and than followed by oolong or black tea. Also, when the crude catechin(100 ppm) was used in combination with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol(50 ppm) and ascorbyl palmitate(50 ppm), the crude cathechin showed very strong synergistic effect, comparable to that of crude catechin(200 ppm).

The study was carried out to compare the antioxidant activities of products from caramel-type-browning reaction of xylose(XY), glucose(GL), sucrose(SU), glucose + citric acid (GLCA), glucose + sodium citrate(GLSC), glucose + glycine(GLGC) heated at 80, 120 or 140$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. 1. The hydrogen donating ability (HDA) of browning reaction products was generally enhanced as the browning temperature and time increased. The HDAs of the browning reaction products heated at 80$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr were in the order of GLSC (0.387) > GLSC (0.362) > GLCA (0.301) > GL (0.299) > XY (0.290) > SU (0.281). But they were in the order of GLSC (0.543) > SU (0.328) > GL (0.309) > GLGC (0.325) > XY (0.298) > GLCA (0.275) under the condition of heating at 140$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. 2. The antioxidant activities of the anhydrous ethanol extracts of the browning mixtures were inferior to that of TBHQ as measured in com oil, but SU was superior to tocopherol in its antioxidant activity. All the browning mixtures showed antioxidant activities when heated at 80$^{\circ}C$; however, only SU and GLCA showed the activites at 120 or 140$^{\circ}C$. And the antioxidant activity of the SU extract was higher than that of TOCO. The antioxidant activities of the ethanol extracts were in the order of TBHQ > GLCA > GLGC > TOCO > SU > XY > GL > GLSC > control at 80$^{\circ}C$, TBHQ > SU > TOCO > GLCA > control > GLSC> XY > GL > GLGC at 120$^{\circ}C$, and TBHQ > SU > TOCO > GLCA > control > GLSC > GLGC > XY > GL at 140$^{\circ}C$.

Optimal extraction method for antioxidant compounds from coat of grape dreg was established. Extracts were prepared with ethanol solutions containing phosphoric, formic, acetic, HCl, TFA, and citric acids. Antioxidant compounds of grape coat were determined by HPLC analysis and evaluated for antioxidizing effects using in vitro model system. Peonidin-3-glucoside content was the highest in 0.1% HCl-added ethanol extract. The extract prepared from pure ethanol without organic acids showed the highest content of cyanidin-3-glucoside among samples tested. Resveratrol and quercetin contents, the most important antioxidants, were highest in 0,1% HCl-added extract. Electron-donating ability was high in 0.1% acetic acid-added extract. SOD-like activities were 95.08% and 94.39% in 0.1% formic and 0.1% citric acid extracts, respectively. Inhibitory effects on peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin were observed in phosphoric (60.51%), citric (59,27%), and formic acid (56,77%) extracts. Hydrogen radical-scavenging activity was 59.47% in 0,1% HCl extract. Results suggest addition of 0.1% HCl in ethanol solution affords the highest yield in antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activities.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of sweet persimmon jam added with aronia juice. Sweet persimmon jam was prepared with sweet persimmon, sugar, pectin and various amounts (20, 40, 60, 80%) of aronia juice, and it was assessed for pH, total acidity, color, sensory evaluation and hydrogen donating ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging effects and content of the total polyphenols, respectively. Increasing the amount of aronia juice decreased the pH, whereas the total acidity gradually increased. In addition, with an increased amount of aronia juice, the lightness (L) and yellowness (b) significantly decreased, while redness (a) gradually increased. By increasing the amount of aronia juice, the polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were increased. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the sweet persimmon jam added with 80% aronia juice had the highest overall-acceptability scores. The results suggest enhancing the quality, palatability and acceptability of sweet persimmon jam by adding 60~80% of aronia juice.

Lipid-related components were comparatively investigated for white ginseng when exposed to both phosphine fumigation and gamma irradiation at 5 kGy or less, which were found effective for improving its biological quality. Fumigation resulted in the increase in pH of the sample, and thereafter it showed a decreasing tendency in all samples during storage for 6 months at ambient $(20^{circ}C/70%\;RH)$ and accelerated $(40^{\circ}C/90%\;RH)$ conditions. The severe conditions led to an apparent browning of the stored samples without significant differences among them, while the sample stored at ambient condition showed negligible changes in its color up to 6 months. The development of browning in the stored sample was in proportional to hydrogen donating ability of the corresponding sample extract. TBA value increased by gamma irradiation gradually decreased with storage time, showing similar values to that of other samples, whereas carbonyl value gradually increased in all samples. Both fumigation and gamma irradiation caused negligible changes in fatty acid composition; however, a partial increase in saturated fatty acid composition and some decrease in polyunsaturated ones were observed with the storage time.
