  • To elucidate the relationship of the Quality of aromatic tobacco to their chemical constituents, certain chemical components and leaf Quality by price were compared among leaves produced, 1) under 4 different light intensities during maturing stage in field, 2) under 4 different temperature of 20$^{\circ}C$. 25$^{\circ}C$. 30$^{\circ}C$ and control of l8-22-28$^{\circ}C$ in phytotron. As the light intensity decreased chlorophyll content of harvested leaves increased, but specific leaf weight and Quality of cured leaves lowered. The content of sugar. pet. ether exts. and volatile organic acids decreased, but total nitrogen, nicotine, ash and pH increased as the .light intensity decreased. As the growth temperature increased days to flower was shortened and the growth was decreased without significant difference in leaf Quality. With higher growth temperature the content of nitrogen, ash and pH increased, but sugar decreased with no difference in pet. ether exts., volatile organic acids and volatile neutral content. Several Quality indices were disscussed for the Quality evaluation of aromatic leaves for two groups, respectively.

  • The effects of delta-aminolevulinic acid (DALA) or chito-oligosaccharide (COS) in layer diets on production performance, egg quality and hematological characteristics were investigated in this 8-week trial. Two hundred and seventy 27-week-old (Hy-Line brown) layers were randomly assigned to 5 treatments with 9 replications per treatment. Dietary treatments were i) Control (basal diet); ii) DALA1 (basal diet+DALA 2 mg/kg); iii) DALA2 (basal diet+DALA 4 mg/kg); iv) COS1 (basal diet+COS 100 mg/kg) and v) COS2 (basal diet+COS 200 mg/kg). In this study, no significant difference was observed in feed intake and egg shell quality (eggshell breaking strength and egg shell thickness) among treatments. The inclusion of DALA increased egg production during the first 4 weeks. Egg weight was increased in both DALA (quadratic, p<0.05) and COS (linear, p<0.05) treatments compared with the control treatment. Laying hens fed the DALA treatment had an increased yolk color unit (quadratic, p<0.05) and haugh unit (linear, p<0.05) compared with the control group. Similarly, these characteristics were also affected by COS treatments, with both values being linearly increased (p<0.05) in COS treatments compared with the control treatment. Additionally, birds fed DALA treatments significantly increased (quadratic, p<0.05) the number of RBC, WBC and lymphocytes compared with the control treatment. Dietary DALA supplementation linearly increased (p<0.05) the serum iron concentration at the end of the 8th week. The inclusion of COS increased (linear, p<0.05) the concentration of RBC, WBC and lymphocytes compared with the control treatment. In conclusion, dietary DALA at the lower dosage (2 mg/kg) could exert better effects in laying hens than higher dosage (4 mg/kg). Birds fed DALA supplemented diet had an increased iron availability, egg weight, eggshell quality and immunity. Moreover, the inclusion of COS (200 mg/kg) can increase egg weight, eggshell quality and immunity in laying hens. Therefore, both the utilization of COS and DALA could be considered as a new strategy for optimizing egg quality and health condition of laying hens.

  • The major trend in the antioxidant market is the growing consumer demand for natural antioxidants. Tea, one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, is an easy way to obtain antioxidant components from a natural source. Our objective was to develop burdock root tea (BRT) with potent antioxidant activity and good color quality. In order to obtain maximum antioxidant activity and quality, the effect of roasting was determined. The antioxidant capacities and total phenolic contents of BRT increased as roasting increased. The color of BRT became darker with increased roasting, extraction time, and amount of burdock roots. Color of BRT was also positively correlated with total antioxidant capacity. Roasting significantly enhanced the total antioxidant activities and color quality of BRT. These results suggest that roasting BRT increases beneficial antioxidant components from burdock roots.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of bread containing mistletoe (Viscum album var.) powder (at ratios of 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10% of total flour quantity). As mistletoe powder (MP) content increased, the pH levels of dough and bread and lightness decreased, whereas total titratable acidity increased. The fermentation power of the dough expansion by fermentation decreased with an increase in MP content added. Although bread weight decreased, there were no significant differences in baking loss as MP content increased. Volume and specific volume significantly decreased as MP content increased. Moisture content was highest at a substitution level of 10% and increased with increasing MP content. Lightness of crumbs significantly decreased with increasing MP content, whereas redness and yellowness showed the reverse effect. As MP content increased, changes in hardness, gumminess, and brittleness were all significant. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, softness, and overall acceptability were highest at MP 3% and were lowest at MP 10%. Total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity of bread significantly increased with increasing MP content. In conclusion, addition of MP 3% showed the best performance in terms of the nutritional and functional aspects of the bread.
