Objectives : We investigated differances of physiological functionalities in the steamed Schisandrae Fructus. Methods : The samples were extracts of dryed schisandrae fructus without steaming process (S0), extracts of schisandrae fructus with three times steamed (S3), extracts of schisandrae fructus with five times steamed (S5) and extracts of schisandrae fructus with seven times steamed (S7). We analyzed contents of schisandrin, gomisin, total polyphenol and flavonoid and antioxidant activities. We researched antiinflammation effects for Raw264.7 cells. To evaluate liver protective activity, we measured AST, ALT and gamma-GTP in serum of alcoholic mice. Results : As the steaming number of schisandrae fructus increase, the contents of schisandrin and gomisin were more increased. The contents of total polyphenol of S5 and S7 were significantly increased compared to that of S0. DPPH free radical scavenging activities of S5 and S7 were significantly increased compared to that of S0, ABST radical scavenging activities of S3 and S5 were significantly increased compared to that of S0 in vitro. The NO production of all sample was significantly decreased compared to control, PGE2 release of S3, S5 and S7 were significantly decreased compared to control. IL-$1{\beta}$ release of S5 and S7 were significantly decreased. AST, ALT and gamma-GTP of S3, S5 and S7 were significantly decreased compared to control. Conclusions : We think that extracts of schisandrae fructus with steaming process may have more potential efficacy than a schisandrae fructus without steaming process.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different steam condition and dehydration condition on physicochemical characteristics of Olbyeossal made from Waxy rice. All samples were steamed at $95-100^{\circ}C$ for 60 min or at $121^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and then were dehydrated using hot air 45, 60, $80^{\circ}C$ and sun-dried to achieve moisture contents 13-15%. Initial pasting temperature of Olbyeossal was the lower than that of nontreatment sample by parboiling. The combination in steaming $95-100^{\circ}C$ and hot drying at $45-60^{\circ}C$ was showed appropriate pasting properties compared with other condition. The hardness of Olbyeossal was significantly affected by steaming and dehydration condition. The hardness of Olbyeossal showed the higher value for steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ than $95-100^{\circ}C$. The water binding capacity (WBC) and swelling power (SP) were higher steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ than $95-100^{\circ}C$. No significant differences on WBC and SP of Olbyeossal by dehydration condition were observed. As the sensory evaluation results, the combination in steaming at $121^{\circ}C$ and hot-air drying at 45 or $80^{\circ}C$ led to increase preference for appearance, color, taste and overall acceptability. These results indicate that steaming and dehydration condition were affecting factor on physicochemical characteristics of Olbyeossal.

The edible portions of saury were cooked by pan frying, deep fat frying, steaming and microwave cooking to compare the compositions of fatty acids in cooked fish with those in raw fish. The total lipid in saury studied varied by each fish but ranged from 21.87% to 30.63%. The distribution of each fatty acid (average) was in order; $C_{22:1}\;(21.75%)>C_{20:1}\;(15.81%)>C_{16:0}\;(11.75%)>C_{22:6}\;(DHA,\;10.61%)>C_{14:0}\;(7.04%)>C_{20:5}\;(EPA,\;5.13%)$. The average ratio of PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids)/SFA (saturated fatty acids) in saury fillet was 1.07 and that of n-3/n-6 was 9.15, which showed saury might be a good source for PUFA including n-3 fatty acids. Comparing the effects of cooking on EPA and DHA, two of the most important n-3 PUFA, the decreasing rate of EPA were 6.98% (pan frying), 26.93% (deep fat frying), 1.16% (steaming) and 15.12% (microwave cooking), respectively. The decreasing rate of DHA ware 4.30% (pan frying), 15.99% (deep fat frying), 3.26% (steaming) and 9.56% (microwave cooking). This study showed that both EPA and DHA were reduced by steaming least, and pan frying, microwave cooking, deep fat frying most, in order.
