Effects of bamboo smoke distillates (BSD) in oxidative stability of oil during storage were investigated. BSD at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0% was added to palm oil and lard, and peroxide, acid, and TBA values were measured during storage at $60^{\circ}C$ for 25 days. Induction periods and relative antioxidant effectiveness (RAE) for the oils were also investigated. Antioxidative effect increased with increasing concentration of BSD. Oil with 0.1% BSD had higher antioxidative effect than that with 0.02% BHT and much higher than that with 0.02% ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Induction periods of lipid oxidation were 34.27 and 25.61 days for palm oil and lard, respectively. In oxidation reaction, palm oil was more stable during storage than lard. When 1.0% BSD was added RAEs of palm oil and lard were 233.92 and 2371.62%, respectively. Palm oil with 1.0% BSD showed higher antioxidative effect than that with 0.02% BHT, and lard showed much higher antioxidative effect than palm oil.

Oxidative stability and flavor of sesame oil blended with canola oil (Ca), corn oil (Co), and soybean oil (Sb) at ratios of 90 : 10, 70 : 30, and 50 : 50 (w/w), respectively, were evaluated. Oxidative stability of sesame oil increased with the addition of vegetable oils (10, 30, and 50% of Ca and Co, and 10% of Sb). Pyrazines, pyrroles, pyridines, and thiazoles, good contributors to the characteristic flavor of sesame oil, were also found in sesame oil blended with vegetable oil. The sensory evaluation showed that no difference was observed between sesame oil and sesame oil blended with 10% of Ca, Co or Sb, which showed higher oxidative stability.

The content ratios of gingerol in 4 fractions (hexane, ether, ethylacetate and hexane-ether (1:1, v/v) fraction) extracted from ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The content ratios of 6-gingerol in 4 fractions were hexane fraction; 49.5％, ether fraction; 20.74％, ethylacetate fraction; 21.43％ and hexane-ether (1 : 1, v/v) fraction; 93.70％. Antioxidant activities of soybean oil added 0.2％ of each ginger fraction and 0.02％ of BHT were determined by peroxide value during storage at 45$^{\circ}C$. And relative antioxidant effectiveness (RAE) was calculated as the ratio of the induction period of a given substrate oil to that of a control oil. RAE of each fraction was hexane fraction; 2.60, ether fraction; 2.33, ethylacetate fraction; 2.07 and hexane-ether (1 : 1, v/v) fraction; 2.75, BHT; 1.74. Inhibition effect of each fraction on the rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation showed hexane fraction; 93％, ether fraction; 92％, ethylacetate fraction; 86％ in 350 g/$m\ell$ and hexane-ether (1 : 1, v/v) fraction; 89％ in 20 g/$m\ell$.

Storage stabilities of ramyons fried in palm oil and beef tallow with added antioxidants and their synergists were investigated by comparing the changes in physicochemical parameters and n-hexanal concentrations of oils extracted from ramyons during storage. Ramyons fried in palm oil and beef tallow with added ${\delta}-tocopherol$ $({\delta}-toc)$ showed an enhanced storage stabilities when compared to those fried in the oils with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ $({\alpha}-toc)$. Ascorbyl palmitate was found to be a better synergist than citric acid for the antioxidant activity of both ${\delta}-toc\;and\;{\alpha}-toc$. Phenolic antioxidants gave a better storage stability than tocopherol when ramyon was fried in beef tallow, while a mixture of BHA and BHT gave an inferior storage stability than${\alpha}-toc$ when ramyon was fried in palm oil. The effectiveness of the antioxidants tested on storage stability of stored ramyon had a close relationship to the n-hexanal concentration. On the other hand, the paramenters such as peroxide value, carbonly value, and conjugated diene concentration showed inconsistency during the course of the storage experiment.

Water gets magnetically charged when it is contacted with a magnet. Although magnetic water products have been promoted since the 1930's, they have received very little recognition due to questionable effectiveness. Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) is a widely occurring nitrosamine that is one of the most important environmental carcinogens primarily inducing tumors of liver. In this study, the effect of magnetized water supplementation on lymphocyte DNA damage in ICR mice treated with DEN was evaluated using the Comet assay. Mice were divided into 3 groups: control, DEN, and DEN + magnetized water group. Fifteen mice were maintained in each group for the entire experimental period of 6, 12 and 18 weeks. Five mice in each group were sacrificed at 6, 12, and 18th weeks, followed by the Comet assay using the blood obtained from heart puncture of the mice. The level of lymphocyte DNA damage reflected by tail moment and other DNA damage indices of tail DNA (%) or tail length of the magnetized water group were significantly decreased after the 6th, 12th and 18th weeks of supplementation compared with the positive control, the DEN group. The relative DNA damage of the magnetized water groups compared to the DEN control group after 6th, 12th, and 18th weeks of supplementation were 42.2%, 40.8%, and 32.9% for DNA in tail, 31.2%, 32.6%, and 21.3% for tail length, and 33.8%, 33.8%, and 24.6% for tail moment, respectively. This is the first report demonstrating that magnetized water may be involved in the lowering effect of the DNA damage in DEN-treated ICR mice. This result suggests that the magnetized water might have minimized the DNA damage by improving the antioxidant status of the mice. However, further studies are needed to characterize the condition of the magnetization and examine the long-term effect of the water product.

Barley bran and germ fractions were collected during pearling process. Barley polyphenol extract (BPE) was separated from the pearling fractions, and its antioxidative activity was determined through linoleic acid model system and lipid autoxidation model using corn oil as a substrate. At 0.02% addition level, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value of BPE from bran fraction III appeared to be similar to that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and bran fraction I and germ extract exhibited similar antioxidative activities to that of BHT. Peroxide value was measured to estimate antioxidative activity of BPE upon lipid autoxidation. As BPE concentration increased, higher antioxidative activity was observed compared to ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and BHT until 10-15 day storage, whereas no effect was shown after 20-day storage. Relative antioxidant effectiveness (RAE) of $0.02{\sim}0.1%$ BPE from bran fraction I and germ were $128{\sim}135$ and $126{\sim}133$, respectively, and appeared to be higher than that of BHT (126), suggesting that these BPE fractions could be used as natural antioxidants.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of residual nitrite contents, chitosan with different molecular weight and nitrite addition on emulsified sausage during cold storage. Six types of sausages were evaluated: control, 0.5% 50 kDa chitosan (T1), 0.5% 200 kDa chitosan (T2), 150 ppm nitrite (T3), 0.5% 50 kDa chitosan+150 ppm nitrite (T4), and 0.5% 200 kDa chitosan+150 ppm nitrite (T5). Each type of sausage was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of four storage periods: 0, 10, 20 and 30 days. As the storage time increased, the presence of chitosan and nitrite resulted in decreased residual nitrite value and increased pH (in control and T2), TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) values, and total plate counts (TPC). Values for pH, TBARS, residual nitrite and total plate counts decreased significantly in response to the addition of chitosan and nitrite relative to the control (p<0.05). T5 was redder than the control (higher CIE$a^*$) at 30 d; however, no difference in the CIE $L^*$ and $b^*$ values was observed. T5 was significantly (p<0.05) more effective at delaying lipid oxidation when compared to the other treatment groups. T5 presented TPC that was significantly lower (p<0.05) than the other groups after three days of storage. In addition, the use of chitosan and nitrite in combination had much better antioxidant and antimicrobial effectiveness than other treatment groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the addition of 0.5% 200 kDa chitosan and 150 ppm nitrite in combination with emulsified sausages tended to improve antioxidative and antimicrobial effects during storage when compared to other treatment groups.
