  • In this study, the antioxidant activities of 27 medicinal herbs and plants were measured. The dried medicinal herbs and plants were pulverized and extracted by water, 15% ethanol, and 45% ethanol, respectively at above $80^{circ}C$ for 90 minutes. The original and diluted extracts were tested for their antioxidant activities by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging activity assay. Cornus officinalis (C) and Scutellaria baicalensis (S) were selected to develop rice wines with higher antioxidant activities, based on the result of the 45% ethanol extraction. The rice wine developed using sample showed the highest antioxidant activity as comparing to those of other commercial rice wines. The rice wine samples were analyzed for titratable acidity, pH, $^{\circ}Brix$, reducing sugar content, color (L, a, b), amino-acidity, and ultraviolet absorption. The preferences for color, aroma, and overall acceptability were determined using a 9-point hedonic scale by 150 consumers. The sweetness, sourness, fruitiness, color, and medicinal herb-taste levels of the developed rice wines were also evaluated, using a 9-point just-about-right scale. The mean overall acceptability score of c (5.54) was higher than that of sample S. Based on the results, the sourness and medicinal herb-taste levels of sample s should be modified to higher levels, and the fruitiness of sample S also needs to be adjusted. For a future study, the final compositions of the developed rice wines will be adjusted for product launching based on the preference test data acquired in this study.

  • Koryo(918-1352) made a certain progress in her culture and agriculture except the latter part of the era when the development in social economy were retarded due to military dictatorship and Mongol invasion. Despite of these external conditions, cultivations and kinds of horticulture foods were expanded With the help Of many king's agriculture first policy and the advancement in cultivating method . Among the horticulture foods, fruits such as peach, plum, Japanese apricot, apricot, cherry, pear, persimmon, pomegranate, crab apple, Jujube, grape, Chinese quince, walnut, orange, yuzu, chestnut, ginkgo nut(silvernut), pine nut, nutmeg nut, and fiat were crowed, and vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, turnip, radish, garlic, welsh onion, gynmigit, scallion, taro, malva, cucumber, white gourd, bottle gourd, water melon, eggplant, Japanese ginger, ginger and litchi were cultivated, while semi, water shieled and bamboo sprouts were taken in natural. Fruits were taken in natural or through dry, and particularly grapes were used to make wine, Flowers of Japanese apricots, some fruit trees, and chrysanthemum were also made into wine. Certain fruits were used as medicine owing to its medicinal nature. Vegetables were used to make Kimchi or to boil soup, sometimes they were dried to be kept in storage to be used in rare season and also used as medicine Increase in kinds of horticulture foods does not have any direct relation with the reform of social economy, but the fact that so many kinds of horticulture foods were cultivated and used in Koryo era shows that they elevated people's life and dietary culture.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare the amygdalin content, alcohol content, pH, titratable acidity, and color of maesil wine prepared with two different manufacturing processes. Maesil wine was made from maesil chung, and maesil was preserved (MW1) or removed (MW2) before fermentation. During aging, amygdalin content in all the wines was gradually reduced, and the content of MW2 was less than that of the other. The alcohol content, pH, and titratable acidity ranged from around 9.87-10.94, 3.57-3.80, and 8.89-10.68%, respectively. The difference between the samples was not significant. For color, MW1 had lower L and higher a and b values than MW2. In this study, the difference in physicochemical properties according to the presence of maesil was not significant, indicating no degradation of the quality according to the manufacturing processes. However, the MW2 showed a reduction in amygdalin contents.

  • Korean medicinal herbs -sasam, gilkyung, jakyak, danggwi, hwangki and chunkung were soaked to the distillate of Korean rice wine for 75 days. The alcohol concentration of distillate, soaking media was adjusted to 45, 35, and 25% respectively with distilled water. Changes in alcohol concentration, pH, optical density, concentration of peoniflorin and decursin were analyzed. Quality of the final product was determined by sensory evaluation. Alcohol concentration was rapidly decreased but pH increased in 15 days and thereafter they showed slow decrease. Decrease of alcohol concentration was affected by the kind of herb and alcohol concentration of soaking media. The strongest effect was observed from danggwi and low alcohol concentration. Concentration of paeoniflorin and decursin, an index component of jakyak and danggwi respectively, showed the similar trend of decrease after increase to maximum concentration. From the sensory evaluation, the best overall quality was obtained from liquors made from 45% alcohol concentration. The quality was decreased in the order of sasam, jakyak, chunkung and hwanggi.

  • Chikungunya fever has a high morbidity rate in humans and is caused by chikungunya virus. There are no treatments available until now for this particular viral disease. The present study was carried out by selecting 19 flavonoids, which are available naturally in fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine and medicinal plants. The molecular docking of selected 19 flavonoids was carried out against the Chikungunya virus capsid protein using the Autodock4.2 software. Binding affinity analysis based on the Intermolecular interactions such as Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions and drug-likeness properties for all the 19 flavonoids have been carried out and it is found that the top four molecules are Chrysin, Fisetin, Naringenin and Biochanin A as they fit to the chikungunya protein and have binding energy of -8.09, -8.01, -7.6, and 7.3 kcal/mol respectively. This result opens up the possibility of applying these compounds in the inhibition of chikungunya viral protein.

  • Korean traditional rice wines and liquors have been long brewed using nuruk or koji, cooked rice, How, yeast and some medicinal plants or herbs. The rosemary shrub (Rosmarinus officinalis L), belonging to the Labiatae family, is well recognized for its aromatic, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumoral properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of rosemary addition on the quality characteristics of Korean traditional rice wine. Wines containing different rosemary concentrations (0, 10, 20 or 30%) were ripened for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days at 25C. The following quality characteristics were compared: pH, total acid, titratable acidity, amylase activity, color, reducing sugar amount, total sugar and ethanol. Although total acid increased, the pH of rosemary wine rapidly decreased during the rot 5-days of ripening, and these two changes were greatest in the wine containing 10% rosemary. The amount of both reducing sugar and ethanol in the wine rapidly increased during the rot 5-days of ripening, while total sugar content of rosemary wine decreased significantly with increasing ripening periods(p<0.05). According to the Hunter's color results, a significant color change in 'L' value was observed with increasing fermentation period in the wine containing 10% rosemary. Although 'a' value of control (0% rosemary liquor) increased during the ripening period, the addition of rosemary did not significantly affect 'a' or 'b' values. The transmittance of rosemary wines increased with increasing rosemary content but decreased throughout the ripening periods. Amylase activity decreased with increasing rosemary content, especially after a 5-day ripening period.
