Large amounts of additives are used during meat product processing to maintain product quality and shelf life. With the growing interest in healthy foods, natural plant-based additives are being used as alternatives to synthetic additives. In this study, six types of natural extracts with excellent antibacterial activity were selected, and their antibacterial and antioxidant activities against four types of pathogens were evaluated in various combinations. In addition, the pH, color, amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and growth of pathogenic microorganisms were analyzed during the storage of sausages treated with various combinations of these extracts. The natural extract mixtures exhibited different antibacterial activities, depending on the combination. Compared to grapefruit seed extract, a mixture of natural extracts extracted with ethanol (M4) reduced the Escherichia coli content by more than 99.9% after 8 days of storage and slowed the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. by more than 80% after 14 days. Compared to untreated (NC) and grapefruit extract (PC)-treated sausages, sausages treated with the natural extract mixtures showed a significant decrease in CIE L^* and an increase in CIE a^* and CIE b^* (p < 0.05). The pH value was significantly lower in sausages containing natural extract mixtures than in the NC and PC sausages (p < 0.05). The natural plant extract mixtures significantly prevented lipid oxidation (p < 0.05). In summary, different types of natural extract mixtures have a synergistic effect when used together, suggesting that natural preservatives can generally inhibit the growth of microorganisms and oxidation of processed meat.

The autoxidation of cholesterol and lipid was investigated in mackerel during its salting for 50 days. Furthermore, the effects of antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and BHA on their autoxidation were studied. The cholesterol of mackerel during salting was continuously decreased. Its content was quantified by 23.3mg/100g in salted control sample after 50 days and that is only about 33% of total cholesterol content in fresh mackerel. The addition of BHA in mackerel during salting inhibited cholesterol oxidation more effectively than ascorbic acid.7-Ketocholesterol, unique cholesterol oxidation products was detected in this experiment and malonaldehyde, one of lipid oxidation products, contineuosly increased in control sample all the salting days by the almost same pattern but in the additive samples of ascorbic acid or BHA by different patterns, respectively. BHA was more effective antioxidant against cholesterol and lipid autoxidation than ascorbic acid.

The change of structure and morphology in ( $U_{0.913}$G $d_{0.087}$) $O_2$ during oxidation at 475$^{\circ}C$ and heat treatment at 130$0^{\circ}C$ in air were investigated using XRD, SEM, and EPMA. The ( $U_{0.913}$G $d_{0.087}$) $O_2$ cubic phase converted to ( $U_{0.913}$G $d_{0.087}$)$_3$ $O_{8}$ orthorhombic phase by oxidation at 475$^{\circ}C$ in air. The XRD and EPMA result of the 130$0^{\circ}C$ heat treated powder revealed that ( $U_{0.913}$G $d_{0.087}$)$_3$ $O_{8}$ orthorhombic phase was separated into $U_3$ $O_{8}$ and ( $U_{0.67}$G $d_{0.33}$) $O_{2+}$x/ cubic phase. The weight variations of (U,Gd) $O_2$ with various Gd contents were measured using TGA at the same heat treated condition. The weight variation during the heat treatment of Gd dissolve (U,Gd) $O_2$ in air can be expressed in terms of phase reaction equations related with oxidation and phase separation. Based on these phase reaction, a initial content of Gd dissolved in (U,Gd) $O_2$ can be exactly calculated by measuring the weight change during the heat treatment.

Objectives We evaluated the improving effects of Taeksa-tang (TST) using 3T3-L1 cells and C57BL/6 mice were fed on a high-fat diet. Methods The anti-radical activities of TST were studied using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid). The content of total polyphenol was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, whereas aluminum chloride colorimetric method was used for the content of total flavonoid. Moreover, the factors related to lipid profile and the protein expressions such as 𝛽-oxidation and anti-oxidant enzyme were analyzed using serum and western blotting of 3T3-L1 cells. Additionally, we examined lipolysis through glycerol appearance in mouse adipose tissue. Results TST treatment showed strong free radical scavenging activities with half maximal inhibitory concentration and the presence of a amount of total polyphenol and total flavonoid. TST treatment significantly increased factors related to 𝛽-oxidation such as carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 and uncoupling protein 2 via the phosphorlyation of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Moreover, the protein expressions of anti-oxidant enzyme and lipolysis were significantly elevated by TST administration. In addition, TST supplementation lowered serum malondialdehyde, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels compared with the control group. Taken together, these data suggest that TST treatment regulated lipid parameters via the increase of 𝛽-oxidation by LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway. Conclusions TST may have a potential remedy in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Therefore, this study may provide the scientific basis for TST use.

Objectives of this study were to investigate the lipid oxidation of liver sausages, one of the most favorite meet products and to examine the applicability of pork liver to sausages. Sausages containing different proportions of pork liver were manufactured with various processes and were tested and analysed by means of lipid oxidation. Based on the basic recipe for manufacturing sausages, fifteen recipies were proposed with different combinations of ingredients, followed by evaluations on their contents of crude fat, AV, POV, and MA. Sausages manufactured with different methods(sliceable, spreadable, smoked spreadable) and different proportions of liver were also evaluated. In addition, the storage experiments were carried out. The findings from these experiments are summarized as follows : The content of crude fat was 17.12%. As the percentage of the liver increased, fat content of sausages siginificantly decreased. In the storage experiment, it was found that the acid value, peroxide value, and malonaldehyde content significantly increased in all samples regardless of the amount of liver or the storage time. The AV of experimental sausages was significantly increased by adding liver. There were significant differences in proportions of components but little differences were observed in contents among the samples.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of pine needle extracts on lipid oxidation and free radical reaction in iron sources reacted with active oxygen species. The results were summarized as follow; the catalytic effects of active oxygen on lipid oxidation in oil emulsion tended to be showed $OH,\;H_2O_2\;and\;KO_2$ in order. At the same time, pine needle extracts itself were tended to be showed a little catalytic effects. Active oxygen scavenging ability of pine needle extracts didn't show, but pine needle extracts played role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron ion if $Fe^{2+}$ ion exist in oil emulsion. The content of $Fe^{2+}$ ion and total iron in CPNP were higher than those of HPNP and FPN. The content of ascorbic acid of FPN showed the highest (87.77 ppm) among several pine needle extracts. Electron donating ability of HPNP and CPNP were 81% and 78%, respectively, which were showed higher content than those of FPN. The SOD-like activity of HPNP showed 44.30%, compared to other pine needle extracts which means the most strong antioxidant reaction. The nitrite scavenging effects were tended to be different, depending on pH value as pH value was increased. Especially, they didn't show the nitrite scavenging effect in pH6.0.

This study investigated on the effects of adding mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) hydrolysates on the quality properties of imitation fish paste (IFP) during storage. IFP was prepared from Alaska Pollack, spent laying hens surimi and protein hydrolysates which were enzymatically extracted from MDCM. The study was designed as a $3{\times}4$ factorial design with three MDCM hydrolysate content groups (0%, 0.4%, and 0.8%) and four storage times (0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks). Addition of MDCM hydrolysates increased crude fat content but lowered water content (p<0.05). The breaking force of IFP, an indicator of gel formation, increased in treated groups compared to control (p<0.05). Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity was inhibited and free radical scavenging activity increased with increasing MDCM hydrolysate content (p<0.05). In conclusion, the addition of MDCM to IFP improves gel characteristics. Additionally, protein hydrolysates from MDCM serve as a potential source of ACE inhibiting peptides.

In order to investigate the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds contained in domestic Meju and Doenjang , the methanolic extract from defatted Meju and Doenjang was fractionated into the phenolic acid and the isoflavone fractions by alumina column and polyamide-6 column chromatography, respectively. Both phenolic acid and isoflavone fractions exhibited an identical antioxidative effect against the oxidation of linoleic acid. GC analysis revealed that the phenolic acid fractio contained vanillic , chlorogenic ,p-coumalic , ferulic, and caffeine acid. The content of caffic acid was greater than 70% in the phenolic acid fraction and the content of vanillic and chlorogenic acids were disappeared during fermentation, and thus, the facts are thought to be reasons for the low antioxidant activity of the phenolic aicd fraction from Doenjang. Similarly, the isoflavone fraction cotained daidzin, glycitin-65-0 glucosider and genistin and their aglycons such as daidzein, glyciten and genistein. The content of daidzin and genistin in Meju dramatically decreased at the early stage of fermentation ,whereas the content of daidzein an dgenistein rather increased ; however, these change in isoflavone contents did not affect the antioxidant activity of isoflavone fractions.

Cookies were prepared by adding different levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of purple sweet potato powder (PSPP) and their physicochemical and sensory characteristics were examined. With increase of the PSPP level, moisture content decreased and ash content increased (p<0.05). The spread factor of control cookies was higher than that of cookies containing PSPP. The incorporation of PSPP in cookies lowered the lightness and yellowness but increased redness (p<0.05). Texture measurement showed that the addition of PSPP did not affect the hardness of cookies. Results of acceptance test revealed that overall acceptability score was not significantly different between the control and the PSPP added cookies. Therefore, it is suggested that PSPP can be incorporated into cookies up to 20% without affecting the cookie quality. Total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were assessed to examine the functionality of cookies. In addition, substitution of wheat flour with PSPP yielded cookies with higher polyphenol content and antioxidative activity (p<0.05). The peroxide value (POV) and acid value increased during storage at $60^{\circ}C$ for 80 days. The POV was significantly lower in cookies containing PSPP than the control cookies, suggesting that the addition of PSPP deterred the lipid oxidation (p<0.05).

Ni$_3$Al intermetallic compound has been tested as a binder phase, in order to improve the oxidation resistance and the mechanical properties of TiC-Ni cermet at a high temperature. The wettability of $Ni_3Al$ on TiC and the optimum sintering condition were investigated in TiC-(30, 40) vol% $Ni_3Al$ cermets with the sintering temperature (1380~$1430^{\circ}C$) and time (30~99 min). The results are summarized as follows: 1) Ni$_3$Al showed good wettability on TiC above 1400$^{\circ}C$ ; 2) The shrinkages of the specimens increased with the sintering temperature, the sintering time and the binder content, whereas the relative densities were decreased; 3) Any other phase did not appeared in the microstructures of all sintered cermets. The grain sizes of TiC became larger as the sintering temperature and the sintering time as well as the binder content increased; 4) The hardness of the cermets decreased with increase in the sintering temperature and the sintering time as well as the binder content; 5) The transverse-rupture strength of the cermets increased with the sintering temperature and the sintering time, whereas it decreased with the binder content.
