The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of mulberry extracts added with Omija (Schisandra chinensis Baillon) in order to determine the best conditions to enhance sour taste of mulberry extracts during manufacturing. The total acidity of Omija was 5.71%, which was 20 times that of mulberry; sour taste of mulberry extracts could be enhanced by adding Omija during the extraction period. Overall, we observed reduction of pH and soluble solid contents as well as increased total acidity and anthocyanin content with a higher Omija adding ratio. In terms of taste acceptability, which is the most important parameter of beverage development, OC-3 (added with 18.75% Omija) and OC-4 (added with 25% Omija) values were $4.20{\pm}0.75$ and $4.05{\pm}0.80$, respectively, for mulberry extracts with Omija. This result was significantly different (P<0.05) from the control group (without Omija addition), which showed an OC-3/OC-4 value of $2.30{\pm}1.24$. The results of this study indicate that Omija addition at a ratio of 18.75~25% and extraction period of 10~12 days are optimum conditions to improve sour taste when developing mulberry extracts.

This study that is to increase forest income with Omija (Chisandra chinensis) was conducted to analyse the status of production of Omija and the suitable site of cultivation in Jangsu-gun forest using GIS Omija production was increased by 297.2% with 3,786,237 kg in 2009, compared with in 2007. Of this figure, the most amount of Omija production was producted with 2,013,379 kg (53.2%) in Gyeongsangbuk-do Production of Jeollabuk-do was the third most amount in the whole country with 407,210 kg (10.8%). Of this figure, the most amount of Omija production was producted with 131,000 kg (32.2%) in Jangsu-gun. On the other hand, the cultivated area of Omija in Jangsu-gun was 159.0ha in 2008, and of this fugure, Jangsu-eup had 48.8 ha (30.7%) which was the most amount of the clutivated area of Omija. The suitable site of cultivation for Omija in Jangsu-gun analysed by using GIS was 1,199 ha, moreover, the suitable site of cultivation for Omija by eup and myeon was 304 ha (25.4%) in Cheoncheon-myeon, 272 ha (22.7%) in Jangsu-eup, 172 ha (14.3%) in Gyenam-myeon, 158ha (13.2%) in Beonam-myeon, 135 ha (11.3%) in Janggye-myeon, 129 ha (10.8%) in Gyebuk-myeon, and 29 ha (2.4%) in Sanseo-myeon, respectively. It was thought that investment should be made efficiently and effectively by considering the result of this study to increase forest income with Omija in Jangsu-gun.

The purpose of this research is to develop bellflower (Platycodon grandiforum) root Jeonggwa as a health food. The Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) water extract with 0-8% (w/w) Jeonggwa added was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. The quality characteristics of Jeonggwa during storage were investigated. The Jeonggwa showed a lower pH and a higher acdity as the amount of Omija water extract that was added increased. The moisture content of Jeonggwa were rose from 15-18% to 16-22% within 2 weeks of storage, and remained at that level up to the end of storage. The total viable cells of bellflower root Jeonggwa were 2.1~2.3 log CFU/g and increased in number during storage but never exceeded 4 log CFU/g. The shelf life of the Jeonggwa was extended when the Omija extract was added. The lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) of the Jeonggwa during its storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were highest in control samples, and the values decreased with the increase in the Omija extract concentration (p<0.001). The mechanical evaluation of the Jeonggwa showed that various tested parameters fell during the storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The hardness and strength of the Jeonggwa significantly decreased as the Omija extract concentration rose (p<0.05). In the ensory evaluation tests, the acceptability of the Jeonggwa was optimal when 4~6% of Omija extract was added to it.

Omija seed oil was extracted from Omija seeds, a by-product of Omija, using an eco-friendly pressed extraction method. Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of 12 extracts using different combinations of seed moisture content (5, 7.5, and 10%) and extraction temperature (25, 49, 75, and 100℃) were then investigated. The highest extraction yield was 31.33% at moisture of 5% and temperature of 75℃. The lowest acid value was 4.18±0.25 at moisture of 5% and temperature of 49℃or moisture of 7.5% and temperature of 25℃. Peroxide value, iodine value, and saponification value were the lowest at 0.64±0.56 meq/kg, 159.38± 6.03, and 57.60±9.40, respectively, at moisture of 5% and temperature of 25℃. The content of total polyphenolics was the highest at 4,413±125 mg TAE/100 g when the moisture content was 10% and the extraction temperature was 25℃. DPPH radical scavenging activities of oil extracts at 20~100 mg/mL were 28.68±7.30~87.65±2.20%. The maximum antioxidant activity and IC₅₀ were 87.65±2.20% and <20 mg/mL, respectively, for extract obtained at moisture of 10% and temperature at 100℃. As a result, the extraction yield, acid value, peroxide value, iodine value, saponification value, and so on were excellent at moisture content of 5% and extraction temperature of 25℃ or 49℃. However, the content of total polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were the highest at moisture of 10% and extraction temperature of 100℃. In conclusion, extracting Omija seed oil from Omija seeds, a by-product of Omija, is effective with a pressed extraction method.

To assess the effects of water extracts in fruits of Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) on alcohol metabolism, rats were orally administrated with alcohol (25% alcohol, 0.75g/200g B.W., 40% alcohol, 0.8g/200g B.W.). The level of metabolites and enzyme activities of the serum and liver were unchanged by the 25% ethanol or 40% ethanol treatment with acute orally administration. Blood alcohol level was markdely decreased by the treatment with water extracts in fruits of Omija. The serum level of Urea nitrogen, Free fatty acid, GPT and LDH were tended to decreased, level of GOT was unchanged. Contents of hepatic microsomal protein, glycogen, pyruvate in the liver were increased by water extracts in fruits of Omija. In conclusion, the present study clearly demonstrates that water extract in fruits of Omija promotes the overall metabolism and detoxication of alcohol.

In this study the effects of water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija(Schizandra chinensis Baillon)on alcohol metabolism in rats were investigated. 25% alcoholic solution(v/v,0.75g/200g B.W.)and 40% alcoholic solution(v/v,0.80g/200g B.W.)were orally administered to rats for 2 hours. The levels of metabolites and enzyme activities both on serum and liver were not changed by acute oral adminiatration of 25% and 40% alcoholic solution. Blood alcohol levels were significantly lowered by treatment of water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija in rats administered with 25% and 40% alcohol. In 25% alcohol treated group, serum GPT level was decreased but hepatic G-6-P DH and pyruvate levels were increased. In 40% alcohol treated group, water extracts of endocarps and seeds of omija resulted in a significant decreased in serum levels of FFA, GPT but increased in serum glucose level. Hepatic levels of cytosolic protein, glycogen and pyruvate were increased by water extracts of omija parts in 40% alcohol treated group.

We have studies fatty acid composition of water extracts of parts of omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) and antioxidant activities of fractionated omija parts (fruits, endocarps, seeds) were determined by DPPH methods and by in vitro hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation system. Fatty acid composition was not different by parts of omija and major fatty acids are linoleic, oleic, and palimitic acids, among fatty acids is water extracts of parts of omija, linoleic acid was highest in content. Methanol and buthanol fractions of seeds and ethyl acetate fraction of endocarps showed stronger antioxidant activities by DPPH methods. Methanol and buthanol fractions of seeds also showed on inhibitory effect on in vitro liver microsomal lipid peroxidation.
