The results of testing general components, physical property and physical function after having made steamed rice cake by adding eggplant, which caters to consumers' tastes are as follows. It showed that when eggplant powder content increased, the moisture content of steamed rice cake with eggplant was decreased. It also showed that the lightness value (L) of steamed rice cake with eggplant powder was the highest as 82.75 in the control group. When eggplant powder content increased, the redness (a) and yellowness (b) were increased. From the results of having measured the antioxidant potential over the steamed rice cake with freezing-drying eggplant powder by DPPH radical elimination, we figured out that it was the lowest as 48.30% in the control group. As more eggplant powder was added, its elimination increased accordingly. As per hardness of steamed rice cake with eggplant, the added group with 7% was revealed as the highest at 0.757. It showed that adhesiveness was the lowest as 30.233 in the control group, and springiness and cohesiveness were on the rise as freezing-drying eggplant powder was increased. Furthermore, softness and chewiness were shown to be high in the added group with eggplant powder of 3, 5%. The evaluation over the overall preference was the highest in 5% added group. Judging from this, adding 3~5% eggplant powder against non-glutinous rice powder is considered an optimal quantity in making steamed rice cake with eggplant.

Use of chemical preservative for controlling harmful microorganisms in food products has been debated due to public concerns about food quality because of perceived toxic and carcinogenic potential. Thus, use of non toxic natural antimicrobial agents has become essential. This study was investigated to determine the antimicrobial activity of water or ethanol extract of commercially available tea, and of solvent fractionated ethanol extracts obtained from steamed green tea. Both of water and ethanol extracts of green tea(steamed or roasted), oolong tea and black tea exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against gram positive and negative bacteria, but not effective against yeast and mold. Also, antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of 4 different kinds of tea was stronger than that of water extract. Among 4 different tea, ethanol extract of steamed green tea was further fractionated. One thousand g/disk buthanol extract had the strongest antimicrobial activity against bacteria and mold. The concentration of the antimicrobial activity of buthanol extract in tested microorganisms ranged from 125~1000 g/disk except for Rhizopus javanicus. Antimicrobial activity of buthanol extract of steamed green tea was not destroyed by heating at 100oC for 60 min and at 121oC for 15 min, which is very stable over heat treatment. The inhibitory effect of the buthanol extract on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. Growth of both strains was started in the presence of 250 and 500 g/ml after 12 and 24 hour respectively, whereas complete inactivation of both strains was occurred in the presence of 1000 g/ml.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of the steamed radix of Rehmanniae glutinosa (SRG) on periodontitis in ligature-induced rat model. Methods: To induce the periodontitis, ligature was placed around the lower first molar in rats. Rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 7), NL (non-ligatured and vehicle-treated), L (ligatured and vehicle-treated), SRG1 (ligatured and 1 mg/kg SRG-treated) and SRG100 (ligatured and 100 mg/kg SRG-treated). Vehicle or SRG solution was applied daily for 14 days and then all experimental rats were sacrificed. To examine the effect of SRG solution on periodontitis, the level of alveolar bone loss, cementum regeneration, gingival tissue degradation, and osteoclast cell numbers were analyzed. Results: Alveolar bone loss was inhibited in ligature-induced periodontitis rats treated with SRG treatment. Histopathological cementum was recovered in SRG1 and SRG100 groups. SRG extract inhibited gingival tissue degradation induced by ligature. In addition, the numbers of osteoclast cells were decreased by treatment SRG in periodontitis rats. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that SRG have inhibitory effects against periodontitis. Therefore, the steamed radix of Rehmanniae glutinosa has may be a potential alternative for periodontitis.

This study was designed to investigate quality characteristics of alcohol fermentation from 5 barldy cultivars teated with non-steam and steam. In alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam, alcohol concentration reached to 1.7% for naked berley, 2.9% for naked waxy barley and 4.3% for Hinchalssalbori. However, no fermentation was occurred with baney and waxy barley. When the barley cultivars were steamed, alcohol concentrations showed to be higher than those not steamed. In sugar concentration from non-steam, both barley and waxy barley showed to have approximately $9.0\;^{\circ}Brix$ and naked barley, naked waxy barley and Hinchalssalbori showed to have approximately $5.0\;^{\circ}Brix$. When the burley cultivars were steamed, sugar concentration was decreased as alcohol concentration was increased Interestingly, sugar concentrations in barley cultivars were fast dropped more than 50% following alcohol fermentation except naked barley k alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam, total acidity of Hinchalssalbori was 0.51%, but the others showed more than 0.80%. So except for Hinchalssalbori, it was possible that acidification occurred during the fermentation. In total acidity from steam, all samples showed less than 0.3%. In flee sugar from non-steam, total free sugar contents of barley and waxy barley were approximately 4,000.0mg% and contents of naked barley naked waxy barley and Hinchalssalbori were each approximately 300.0 mg%. Free sugar from steam was increased as sugar concentration increased. In conclusion, barley cultivars were evaluated to be not suitable at alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam.

Gum was added to Jeungpyun (steamed Korean rice cake) to extend the shelf life and prevent retrogradation. The hardness of Jeungpyun was analyzed and the type of retrogradation was calculated by the Avrami equation. Guar gum, xanthan gum and pullulan were added to the steamed Korean rice cake at contents of 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% (w/w). The moisture contents of the steamed Korean rice cake stored at $4^{\circ}C$ remained unchanged over the three days. When the concentration of added gums was less than 0.1 %, the hardness was lower than that of the non-added gum. At a gum concentration of 0.5%, the hardness of Jeungpyun with added guar gum and xanthan gum was higher than that of pullulan and non-added Jeungpyun. The types of retrogradation varied according to the amount and the kind of the added gums. The type of retrogradation of pullulan-added rice cake was similar to that of xanthan-added rice cake. The Avrami exponent of pullulan-added and xanthan-added Jeungpyun was 1.4${\sim}$1.49 and 1.25${\sim}$1.43, respectively. As the concentrations of pullulan were increased from 0.05% to 0.5%, the time constant (1/k) increased from 5.37 to 15.65. Pullulan and xanthan gum were confirmed to be more effective than guar gum for preventing the retrogradation of the steamed Korean rice cake known as Jeungpyun.

A new porous carbon material "woodceramics" was developed by carbonizing wood or woody materials impregnated with thermosetting resin. Steamed board and non-steamed board were made from thinned small log of Aomori Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata S. et. Z. var. hondae M.). They were impregnated with phenol resin and sintered in a vacuum furnace at $650^{\circ}C$. In this paper, the manufacturing method of woodceramics and changes of dimension, weight and compressive strength were investigated. The changes of dimension, weight and compressive strength depend on the types of board and density.

This study examined the physicochemical quality characteristics of the oriental melon Makgeolli variant by addition of sucralose during its non-steamed fermentation process. The results showed a partial increase in initial sugar content in Makgeolli depending on the level of sucralose addition; and this slight increase in sugar content was exhibited in all intervals into which the sucralose was added during fermentation. The pH of Makgeolli did not exhibit significant changes according to the level of added sucralose until the fourth day of the fermentation process; and the total acidity of Makgeolli did not significantly change in accordance with the varied levels of added sucralose. Reducing sugar rapidly decreased in all intervals of the experiment during the first day of fermentation, and it was then increased slightly staring from the second day of the fermentation. Alcohol content in all experimental intervals was proportionally increased in accordance with the amount of added sucralose during the alcoholic fermentation process. The alcohol content was reached to the final alcohol contents of control (A) 11.27%, 0.001% (w/w) (B) 11.43%, 0.002% (w/w) (C) 11.80%, and 0.003% (w/w) (D) 12.23%. The levels of acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamyl alcohol in Makgeolli were all proportional to the level of the amount of sucralose added in the fermentation process. The organoleptic characteristics of Makgeolli was accorded with the level of the amount of sucralose. In the sensory evaluation, the experimental interval of 0.003% (w/w) (D) showed the highest scores of 3.30, 2.67, 3.17, and 3.20 in color, odor, taste and overall, respectively.
