Cheonggukjang (CGJ) is a famous traditional Korean food that is typically produced by fermenting steamed soybean seeds and has a unique flavor and taste. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of lotus seeds on the quality and antioxidant activities of CGJ. Color value, 1,1-diphenly-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging potential, and the amounts of total polyphenol, total flavonoid, mineral, and free amino acid were evaluated. The CGJ sample produced with lotus alone or a mixture of soybean and lotus produced in Korea showed relatively high antioxidant potential. The amount of essential and total free amino acids was also high in the sample prepared with lotus seeds grown in Korea. On the other hand, the total mineral content was low in the lotus-based samples. The results indicated that a mixture of an equal proportion of soybean and lotus seeds could be a good option to prepare nutritious CGJ.

This study focused on the evaluation of the antioxidative effects of lotus seeds from golden colored flowers. The lotus seeds were extracted with ethanol and then fractionated into 4 fractions, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol, methylene chloride, and n-hexane. The comparison of antioxidative activities of the extract and fractions from the lotus seeds was carried out using an in vitro radical scavenging model and the total phenol content was analyzed. Of the tested extracts and fractions, the EtOAc fraction of the lotus seeds showed the strongest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity with 96.24% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of the lotus seed EtOAc fraction was also increased in a concentration dependent manner with the concentrations tested ranging from 5 to $100{\mu}g/mL$. Moreover, the EtOAc fraction showed the highest scavenging activity for nitric oxide and superoxide anion radicals. In particular, of all the extracts and fractions, the EtOAc fraction showed highest contents of total phenols. These results indicate that lotus seeds have potential as an antioxidative agent against oxidative stress involving reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the EtOAc fraction of lotus seeds includes promising oxidative stress-protective compounds.

The purpose of this study was to determine the content attributes and sensory characteristics of ice cream flavored with lotus leaf and seeds (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner). Analysis of freeze dried lotus leaf powder produced the following technical results: Freeze dried lotus leaf powder contained moisture 12.2, crude protein 5.9, crude fat 1.2, crude ash 7.0, crude fiber 13.4g/100mg; raw lotus seed powder contained moisture 65.0, crude protein 8.2, crude fat 0.3, crude ash 1.0, crude fiber 10.8g/100mg; freeze dried lotus seed powder contained moisture 14.0, crude protein 17.1, crude fat 1.9, crude ash 4.0, crude fiber 2.8g/100mg. Lotus seed was processed by 4 methods: freeze dried, roasted, freeze dried peeled inner layer, cooked cut peeled inner layer. Analysis of the color value produced the following technical results: freeze dried lotus leaf powder were L(lightness) 14.5, a(redness) 4.4, b(yellowness) 24.0; freeze dried lotus seed powder L 57.3, a 14.4, b 12.0; roasted lotus seed powder L 52.7, a 22.5, b 11.9; freeze dried lotus seed peeled inner layer L 60.0, a 1.4, b 12.3. Proportional lotus ingredients used for ice cream were 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% for lotus leaves and 1%, 3%, 5% for lotus seeds. The maximum over run ratio for lotus leaf ice cream was 45.3~56.9% at 20~25 minutes operating time. Over run was significantly decreased by increasing the contents of lotus leaf powder. A maximum over run ratio for lotus seed ice cream was 46.1~54.3% at 20~25 operating time. Over run was not significantly different based on content of lotus leaf versus lotus seed. Sensory evaluation of lotus leaf ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for color of 4.42 and the lowest score was for sweetness of 3.30. The total mean score significantly decreased by increasing the content of lotus leaf powder. Sensory evaluation of lotus seed ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for cooked cut peeled inner layer type and the lowest was for freeze dried type 3.86. The sensory scores were not significantly different based on the content of lotus seed. Texture was evaluated highest with a rating of 4.21 and the taste was evaluated lowest with a rating of 3.68 For whole evaluation. This study concluded that lotus leaf ice cream demonstrates relative strength in terms of color and taste, and a relative weakness in terms of over run and sweetness. Suitable content of lotus leaf ranged from 1~5%. The lotus seed processed by the cooked cut peeled inner layer method received a higher rating than dried powder for lotus seed ice cream.

In an effort to investigate the germination and growth characteristics of tannin containing forage crops (such as chicory, birdsfoot trefoil, Lotus pedunculatus, sulla, lespedeza, crownvetch, sainfoin), germinativity, seedling vigor, and productivity were studied. Although the cumulative germination percentage (CGP) of chicory and birdsfoot trefoil was low, the germination rate(GR) and days to reach 50% of final germination(Gt50) were excellent. Crownvetch, lespedeza and sainfoin showed poor germination. Chicory seeds were light but the rate of emergence and establishment were high. Seeds of Lotus pedunculatus and birdsfoot trefoil were also small, but their rates of emergence and establishment were quite good. On the other hand, seeds of sainfoin and crownvetch were heavy but their emergence and establishment rate were very low. Lespedeza was the best in getting over the hot summer, and crownvetch also survived well during summer. Chicory was good in productivity and early growing but its persistence was not good. In case of birdsfoot trefoil and Lotus pedunculatus their early growing were slow but their productivity and persistence were fairly well. Lespedeza, crownvetch, and sainfoin showed poor growth in Korea. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that chicory would be better to use as short term high productive forage crop, and Lotus pedunculatus and birdsfoot trefoil could be used as continuous functional forage crops in Korea. (Key words : Tannin. Germination. Chicory. Birdsfoot trefoil, Lotus pedunculatus)

연자육 분말의 첨가량에 따른 식빵 반죽의 물리적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 연자육 분말을 첨가한 반죽의 팽창력, ferinogram, amylogram, extensogram, 반죽의 pH와 식빵의 외관 등을 조사하였다. 연자육 분말의 일반성분 함량은 수분 7.74%, 조단백질 20.15%, 조지방 2.11%, 조회분 4.34%, 조섬유소 2.78%이였다. 반죽의 팽창력 결과 대조구에 비해 연자육 분말 첨가구가 팽창력이 좋았으며, 반죽의 farinogram 특성은 연자육 분말 첨가량이 증가할 수 록 흡수율이 다소 증가하였고, 반죽도달시간은 대조구에 비해 다소 짧아졌다. 연자육 분말 첨가량의 증가에 따라 반죽형성 시간과 안정도는 짧아졌고 연화도는 커지는 경향을 보였다. Amylogram의 호화특성에서 최고점도온도의 경우 연자육 분말 첨가구와 대조구가 같았으며, 연자육 분말 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 최고점도는 증가하였다. Extensogram 특성은 연자육 분말 첨가량이 증가할 수 록 신장도는 감소하였고, 저항도는 증가하였으며 이에 따라 R/E 값이 증가하였다. 반죽 후 대조구의 pH는 6.06이었고, 연자육 분말 첨가구의 pH는 $6.19{\sim}6.21$였다. 발효시간 경과에 따른 대조구의 pH는 서서히 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 연자육 분말 첨가구에서는 발효시간 90분까지는 서서히 낮아졌으나 90분 이후부터 pH가 급격히 낮아졌다. 이로써 연자육 분말의 첨가량이 식빵 제조용 반죽의 리올로지에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인 되었다.

D. kaki and D. lotus are used as rootstocks for astringent persimmons in Korea but characteristics of their seedlings have not been determined. In this experiment, their seeds were sown in 3-L pots on April 18 and the seedlings were grown until October 24. Growth and nutrient absorption were compared at the end of the season after destructively harvesting the seedlings. Seedling growth of D. lotus was much faster than that of D. kaki in terms of total stem length, stem diameter, and number of leaves. However, chlorophyll value and specific leaf weight were higher in D. kaki than in D. lotus. Dry weight of D. lotus was 3.6- and 3.7-fold higher than that of D. kaki in above-ground parts and the root, respectively. D. kaki seedlings were characterized by higher concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in the leaves, stem, or the root. However, total contents of the elements were 1.8- to 3.7-fold higher in a D. lotus seedling due to its greater dry weight. Since D. lotus seedlings absorbed more inorganic elements on a tree basis and grew more vigorously than D. kaki seedlings, the level of fertilization for astringent persimmons should be adjusted depending on rootstocks to maintain the trees at the optimum vigor.

Forty-seven wild accessions of Lotus japonicus Regal (Japanese trefoil) indigenous to Japan were investigated for nine morphological characters. Average temperature and annual precipitation were negatively correlated with stem color and seed weight. On the other hand, latitude was positively correlated with these traits. Consequently, accessions from sites at higher latitudes with low temperatures and precipitation tend to have dark red stems and heavy seeds. Cluster analysis based on nine morphological characters classified 47 wild accessions into six major groups. Cluster I included four accessions of tall and erect plants. These plants are phenotypically similar to commercial variety 'Empire'. Cluster II consisted of three accessions of creep plants with pale red stems. Cluster III contained 24 accessions that had average values for all morphological characters evaluated. Cluster IV included two accessions of erect plants with rounded leaflets and dark red stems. Cluster V included four accessions of small, creep plants with pale red stems. Cluster VI included seven accessions of small and erect plants, a phenotype that also applies to ?Gifu B-129?, which is used as experimental strain worldwide. These data were deposited into LegumeBase, an online database (http://www.legumebase.brc.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/) supported by the National BioResource Project (NBRP) in Japan.
