The composition of isothiocyanates in Dolsan leaf mustard was investigated. Five major volatile isothiocyanates detected in leaf mustard were sec-butyl isothiocyanate, allyl isothiocyanate, 3-butenyl isothiocyanate, n-hexyl isothiocyanate and ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ isothiocyanate. In both leaf and leaf stalk allyl isothiocyanate and 3-butenyl isothiocyanate were the most abundant. The compositional difference of isothiocyanates between leaf and leaf stalk was that n-hexyl and ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ isothiocyanates were present more in leaf than leaf stalk.

In this study, we investigated antimutagenic and anticancer activities of leaf mustard (LM, Brassica juncea) and leaf mustard kimchi (LMK) during their fermentation period. Methanol extracts were prepared from raw mustard, brined leaf mustard in 10% Gueun salt solution for 2 hrs, leaf mustard fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days after brined in 10% Guenun salt solution for 2 hrs (Fr-LM), fresh leaf mustard kimchi (Fresh-LMK) and optimally ripened leaf mustard kimchi fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 30 days (OR-LMK). OR-LMK showed the strongest inhibitory activities against the mutagenicities induced by aflatoxin B1 in Salmonella Typhimurium TA100. LMs and LMKs inhibited the survival or growth of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells in MTT assay and growth inhibition test. Among the extracts, OR-LMK and FR-LM exhibited strong antiproliferative effect against cancer cells, especially HT-29 cells. DAPI staining assay showed that OR-LMK induced apoptosis cell death of HT-29 cells in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that leaf mustards and leaf mustard kimchi have chemopreventive activities.

The objectives of this study were to determine the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of Zelkova leaf extract and the sensory and textural characteristics of Zelkova leaf rice cake. The ethyl acetate layer of Zelkova leaf extract showed the most effective DPPH radical and superoxide anion scavenging activities. The residual layer of Zelkova leaf extract exhibited potent cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell line. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste of Zelkova leaf rice cakes were not significantly different. Zelkova leaf rice cakes with 20%(5.18), 25%(4.94) and 30%(4.88) added Zelkova leaves showed higher overall acceptability than 0%(4.06) added Zelkova leaves. In the textural analysis, the hardness of the Zelkova leaf rice cake increased slowly with increasing leaf content during 3 day storage. The cohesiveness of 25% and 30% Zelkova leaf rice cakes showed no variation with storage time but that of 0% Zelkova leaf rice cakes decreased with increasing storage period. The 'L' value of Zelkova leaf rice cake decreased with increasing leaf content while the 'a' value of 0% Zelkova leaf rice cake was lower than that of 20%, 25% and 30% Zelkova leaf rice cakes.

The present study was conducted to investigate the ginsenoside profiles of the main root, root hair, and leaf of ginseng in order to demonstrate their possible application in medicine. The total ginsenoside content of the leaf was up to 12 times than that in the main root, and the content of protopanaxadiol groups was higher than that of protopanaxatriol groups in all the samples. The leaf was shown to contain high amounts of ginsenosides Rb3 and Rh1, whereas the main root contained large amounts of ginsenosides Rb1 and Rc. Moreover, Rb2, Rb3, and Rg1 were only detected in the root hair, leaf, and main root, respectively. The ginsenoside Re content of Panax ginseng leaf and root hair was 2.6~4 times higher than that of the main root. Therefore, the results indicate that the ginsenoside content of Panax ginseng is higher in the leaf and root hair, and lower in the main root.

We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared after the addition of various concentration of used guava leaf powder(0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, as guava leaf powder concentration rose, there was a decrease in the water content level. In addition, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of the cookies were examined. The results showed that with an increase in guava leaf powder concentration, the L value decreased significantly, while the values for a and b of cookies increased when more guava leaf power was added to cookies. The spread factor of cookies decreased, but the hardness of cookies increased significantly, as guava leaf powder concentration increased. Cookies containing 0% and 3% of guava leaf powder showed a similar sensory evaluation score in terms of color, taste and flavor of the cookies. In the case of texture and overall consumer acceptability, cookies with 3% of guava leaf powder showed the highest score.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of stevia leaf powder on castella quality. Castellas were prepared by the addition of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% stevia leaf powder on sugar. The weight of castellas with stevia leaf powders ranged from 126.0~128.0 g and that of the control was 130.5 g. The volume of the castellas prepared by adding stevia leaf powder was 710.3~745.0 mL and that of the control was 756.3 mL. The height, specific volume of castellas decreased with the addition of stevia leaf powder. The Hunter L and a values of crumb and crust of castellas decreased, whereas b values increased with the addition of stevia leaf powder. The hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness increased with the addition of stevia leaf powder, whereas springiness decreased. The sensory quality of the 6% stevia leaf powder castella tested by flavor, taste, moistness and chewiness was better than that of the control, and overall acceptability of the castella with the addition of 6% stevia leaf powder was the best.

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality characteristics of cookies added with various concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5%) of ginseng leaf powder. The pH of the cookies significantly decreased with increased ginseng leaf powder concentrations (p<0.05), but the density of cookies showed no significant differences. Spread factor, loss rate, and leaving rate of cookies decreased according to the amount of added ginseng leaf powder. The lightness and yellowness of cookies decreased as the concentration of the ginseng leaf powder increased whereas no significant difference in the redness was found with increased ginseng leaf concentration. In the texture analysis, the hardness of the cookies increased according to the concentration of ginseng leaf. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the cookies significantly increased with increased ginseng leaf concentration (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, sensory scores for color, taste and overall acceptability were highest in the 3% ginseng leaf cookies. Thus, our results suggested that the optimum amount of ginseng leaf powder to add to cookies was 3%.
