To improve hygienic quality of egg, the ozone treatment was applied. Eggs were inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium, and the inoculated eggs were treated by ozone (38.8 ppm) for 10-30 min. Furthermore, microbiological and chemical quality changes of eggs were investigated during storage. Initial number of S. Typhimurium of egg shell was 6.18 log CFU/g and the number was increased during storage (p<0.05). However, those of ozonated samples for 10-30 min were 4.22-5.25 log CFU/g, which was lower than that of the control. Especially, ozone treatment for 30 min achieved about 2 decimal reductions and the numbers were maintained during storage. Other physical and chemical characteristics of eggs by ozone treatment, including Haugh unit, yolk color, pHs of egg white and yolk, foaming ability, foam stability and lipid oxidation development were not different when compared with that of the control. Therefore, ozone treatment is one of the available methods to improve hygienic quality of eggs.

The physical properties of dough with different levels (2, 4, 6, and 8%) of bamboo leaf powder were inverstigated. The bamboo leaf powder had a moisture content of 5.15%, a crude protein content of 10.48%, a crude fat content of 5.21%, a crude fiber content of 22.74%, and a crude ash content of 17.63%. The following parameters showed significant differences with the increase in the amount of bamboo leaf powder added. The gelatinization degree measured by a rapid visco-analyzer increased with the increase in the powder amount added. In the values of the farinogram parameter for dough consistency, the elasticity of the dough increased with the increase in the powder amount added. The alveogram values showed a similar tendency as those of the farinogram in terms of elasticity, absorption rate, absorption time and stability. In the rheofermentometer analysis, the volume decreased with the increase in the powder amount added, but no significant difference was found at up to 4% powder amount addition, suggesting that the about 2% and up to 4% powder amount addition is moderate.

This study was carried out to investigate the rheological properties of dough and the quality characteristics of breads with Saesalbori (non-waxy barley) and Saechalbori (waxy barley) flours added at concentrations of 10, 20, and 30% to wheat flour. The maximum viscosity increased in the Saesalbori flour mixtures and decreased in the Saechalbori flour mixtures. The dough stability of the 10% barley flour mixtures was equal to that of the control while that of the 30% barley flour mixtures decreased more. The extensibility of the dough decreased with the increasing level of barley flour in all the blends, but the resistance of the dough increased. As the ratio of barley flour increased, the loaf volume of the breads significantly decreased, but the bread weight increased. The 10% Saesalbori flour mixtures increased the hardness of the breads but did not cause any significant change in the other TPA parameters while the 10% Saechalbori flour mixtures did not cause any change in all the TPA parameters. The sensory evaluation results showed that the 10% barley flour mixtures had no significantly different overall acceptance from the control, and that the 20% substitution still resulted in acceptable sensory qualities. The results of the study also showed that the bread-making properties of Saesalbori were improved by germination, but those of Saechalbori declined.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of feeding periods of dietary Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) on the quality characteristics of Hanwoo beef during refrigerated storage. Hanwoo steers were fed a 4% RVS-contained diet for 0 (control), 3, 4, 5, or 6 mon prior to slaughter (28 mon of age). The M. semitendino년 from carcasses were stored at $3{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$ for 7 d. The crude fat content was lower in the 4 and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05), however the crude protein content and water-holding capacity (WHC) were higher in the 4 and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05). The monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) content was higher in the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05). During storage. the TBARS content was reduced in the RVS groups, and the MetMb content showed slower accumulation in the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups than in the other groups. With regard to meat color, the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups had higher L, a, and C values than the other groups until 7 d, and in particular, the a value at 7 d was the highest in the 4 mon group (p<0.05). Consequently, the beef from 4% RVS-fed Hanwoo for 4-5 mon was effective at improving the WHC, MUFA content, and color stability relative to the other beef.

In order to economically utilize flour brew with Bifidobacterium bifidum as a bread improver, the effect of flour brew on the rheological properties of dough, growth curve and acid production, and symbiosis with yeast were investigated. Growth of bifidobacteria was not increased more than initial seed volume but was consistent during 24 hours of incubation. pH was decreased and T.T.A was increased up to 12 hours of incubation. Symbiosis between bifidobacteria and yeast was little. Bifidobacteria produced more lactic acid than acetic acid in flour brew and the opposite in skim milk broth. This result was inferred from Lactobacillus sp. inherent in flour. On rheological properties of dough, farinograms of flour showed progressively decreasing baking absorption, mixing time and stability as the amount of flour brew increased. The validation of extensograms showed that R/E ratio linearly increased with increment of flour brew, and nearly doubled in all treatments comparing to that of control, which suggest the reduction of actual fermentation time. On visco/amylograms, malt index increased with addition of flour brew, accordingly showing the decrease in viscosity. Break down and set back value decreased with increment of flour brew, suggesting that staling rate of bread can be delayed.

Gamma irradiation was applied to develop fermented shrimp product with lower salt concentration, high sensory quality and storage stability. Shrimp was prepared with 15 and 20% of salt and fermented at $15^{\circ}C$. The sample was irradiated for 15% added salt at the 4th week and for 20% at the 6th week during fermentation with 0, 5 and 10 kGy absorbed doses. The irradiation was applied at optimum stage of fermentation determined when the content of amino nitrogen(AN) arrived approximately 400 mg%. Chemical properties such as amino nitrogen(AN), volatile base nitrogen(VBN), trimethylamine(TMA) and neutral protease activity were examined during whole fermentation. The AN, VBN, TMA and protease activity were not affected immediately after gamma irradiation. The more NaCl concentrations and irradiation dose, the less content of chemical compounds and protease activity was found. From the results of chemical properties, it was concluded that fermented shrimp with 15% of salt and irradiated at 10 kGy before optimum fermentation, or 20% and 5 kGy or above were maintained the sound quality during storage compared with the control.

This study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of the extracts from nipa palm, molokhia, and finger root in functional cosmetics as a natural active ingredient. The extracts were obtained through the processes of heating under reflux with ethanol, filtration, concentration, and freeze-drying. UV absorption and blocking effects of the extracts were examined by using the UV-vis spectrophotometer equipped with an integrating sphere. Antioxidant activity and its stability between the extracts were compared using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Also, total polyphenol content in the extracts was determined quantitatively using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, with gallic acid as the standard. Antibacterial activity of the extracts was investigated by the disc diffusion test against Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (gram-negative). Finally, collagenase inhibitor assay was performed to examine the anti-wrinkle effect of the extracts. From the results of this study, the extract of nipa palm showed the potential for use in cosmetics as an antioxidant and anti-wrinkle agent, and the extract of finger root as a sunscreen and antibacterial agent.

Crassostrea gigas were fermented using L. brevis BJ20 to prepare fermented oyster extract (FO). The participants of this study were randomly assigned to FO and placebo (CON) groups. The FO group was given 1.0 g of FO supplementation and the CON group was given sucrose each day for eight weeks. The effects of FO supplementation on body composition, muscula r strength, and blood factors associated with muscle growth were assessed. The FO supplement was enriched with arginine (6,183.3 mg), phenylalanine (217.9 mg), leucine (122.6 mg), isoleucine (59.8 mg), valine (16.4 mg), and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA, 1,053.7 mg). The total fat was significantly decreased in the FO group compared with the CON group (p < 0.05). 60D/S Ext.T/Wo rk and 60D/S Flex.T/Work concomitantly with 60D/S Flex.PeakTQ/BW were significantly increase d by FO treatment compared to CON group (p < 0.05). However, posture stability was not significa ntly different between the groups. The levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme were significantly decreased within the FO group (p < 0.05). The FO group showed significantly decreased levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and increased levels of human growth hormone compared with the CON group (p < 0.01). The levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 increased (p < 0.01) in the FO group while that of creatine kinase and triglyceride decreased significantly compared with the CON group (p < 0.05). These results demonstrated that FO supplementation is effective in preventing sarcopenic obesity and maintaining and strengthening muscular function in elderly wom en. Hence, FO supplements can be used as functional ingredients for these benefits.

Vinegar is a fermented food product created by fermenting various sugar- and starch-containing ingredients with microorganisms. It contains a variety of organic acids, sugars, amino acids, esters, and other compounds that contribute to its unique sensory properties. Vinegar is known for its potential benefits, including aiding digestion, lowering blood sugar levels, anti-obesity effects, and antioxidant properties. It is also believed to contribute to improving alkaline body conditions. This study was conducted to develop functional dried vinegar powder from naturally fermented vinegars. Unripe apple, brown rice, and black chokeberry (aronia) were fermented using Gluconacetobacter xylinus for 90-180 days. The filtrate vinegar was spray dried with 37.46% maltodextrin, 5% glucose, 1% citric acid, and 0.04% vitamin C. Analysis of the acidity, color difference, water and soluble solid content, and heat stability of dried vinegar (DV) confirmed that spray drying is a suitable method for powder production. Moreover, the DVs exhibited excellent sensory attributes and solubility. Among the DVs, aronia-DV showed the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl and 2,2-azobis (3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) radical scavenging activity (36.7% and 75.3%) and reducing power (0.334) at 0.5 mg/ml concentration, respectively. The nitrite scavenging activity was highest in brown unripe apple-DV, followed by aronia-DV and brown rice-DV. In the anti-thrombosis activity assay, aronia-DV showed the highest prothrombin inhibition. The brown rice-DV exhibited lipid accumulation inhibitory activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes without cell cytotoxicity. Our results suggest the potential for commercialization of dried vinegar, highlighting its diverse benefits and applications.

Gastrodia elata blume (GEB) is considered to be a useful herbal medicine in oriental countries for the treatment of headache, migraine, dizziness, childhood convulsion, epilepsy, rheumatism, hypertension, neuralgia and neurological disorders. This study was carried out to investigate the quality of bread added with the powder of GEB. The possibility of GEB wheat flour mixture as bread was studied by adding 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% of GEB powder to wheat flour. In Farinograph data, the dough stability decreased with the increase of GEB powder. Granular size of starches ranged from $36\;{\mu}m\;to\;60{\mu}m$, and the shape of them showed a long oval figure. Amylograph showed that the increase in the ratio of GEB on the doughs slightly elevated in the maximum viscosity. The loaf volume of 0.5% powder increased by 10.2% but that of 2.0% decreased by 16.8%. The moisture content was 43.57% in the control but it increased as the powder addition. The colors of crust and crumb were not significantly different among L, b and ${\Delta}E$, but 'a' value in crumb was increased as the powder addition. The addition of the powder had no significant effect on bread texture. In sensory evaluation, the moistness increased as the increase of the powder addition. The control bread was most excellent, and the bread made by mixing additives were better than just 0.5% GEB-wheat flour in terms of quality.
