Garlic and traditional fovarite foodstuffs of plant origin have been analyed for selenium and sulfur containing amino acid content selenium compound were assayed using a $^{77m}Se$ neutron activation analysis, cystine and methionine determination by paper and thin-layer chromatography. The results obtained indicate that the content of selenium and sulfur containing amino acid are highest in garlic. The results also show that the selenium is a more abundant in particular speies such as garlics produced in Tan Yang and Wei Sung. The effect of Korean garlic and favorite typically found in the Korean diet has also been studied. Some vegetables known to contain a relatively high level of sulfur and selenium (garlic and onion) do loss significent quantities of selenium as a result of cooking.

This procedure describes the method for gas chromatographic determination of 31 organophosphorus and 28 organochlorine pesticides in 10g of spinach, tomato and onion. After the pesticides were extracted with several solvents, the amount of coextractives and recovery rates of acephate and methamidophos were calculated. Samples for organochlorine pesticides were cleaned up with florisil solid phase extraction columns. NaBH$_4$ was added to onion extracts, which contained sulfur compound. All the concentrated extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography with ECD and NPD. The smallest amount of coextractives resulted from the spinach samples extracted with 5% MeOH in ethyl acetate. 5% EOH in ethyl acetate had the highest extractability for acephate and methamidophos and gave the best overall performance as an extraction solvent. The ability of 5% EOH in ethyl acetate to extract various organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides from spinach, tomato and onion was examined. Recovery of 59 insecticides ranged from 58.0% to 110.5%. The average recoveries of fortified spinach, tomato and onion were 90.08%, 94.54% and 84.90%, respectively.

This study investigated the antioxidant activities, and antimicrobial activity $in$ $vitro$ of an 80% ethanol extract from garlic, daikon, leek, ginger, onion, and green onion, which are widely-used ingredients in Korean food that contain sulfur. The total polyphenol content in ginger and leek extracts showed a high value ($233.63{\pm}4.59$ and $220.98{\pm}10.56$ mg/g GAE) and onions, leeks, garlic, and daikon followed by with $69.07{\pm}1.42$, $68.83{\pm}2.11$, $19.41{\pm}0.40$, $19.05{\pm}03.32$ mg/g GAE, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest with ginger extracts ($1.57{\pm}0.15$ mg/mL as $IC_{50}$) followed in order of decreasing activity by leeks, onions, daikon, green onions, and garlic. The results of ABTS radical scavenging activity and FRAP value showed higher antioxidant activity in extracts from ginger and leek. The order of vegetables with most to least prevalent ABTS radical scavenging activity was green onions, onions, garlic, and finally daikon. From greatest to least FRAP value, the relevant vegetables were green onions, onions, daikon, and garlic (p<0.05). Ginger extracts showed promise against seven strains of microbes: $Bacillus$ $cereus$, $Bacillus$ $subtillis$, $Staphylococcus$ $aureus$, $Lactobacillus$ $plantarum$, $Escherichia$ $coli$, $Salmonella$ $enterica$, and $Pseudomonas$ $aeruginosa$. Garlic extracts (5 mg/disc) showed strong antimicrobial activity against $B.$ $cereus$ (22.3 mm) and $E.$ $coli$ (24.3 mm). Extracts of both onion and green onion showed antimicrobial activity against only $E.$ $coli$ (12.7 and 10.3 mm) and $B.$ $cereus$ (12.0 and 12.5 mm) at 10 mg/disc, and the inhibition zone diameter from extracts of garlic and leeks were 18.0 mm and 10.4 mm vs. $L.$ $plantarum$ at 10 mg/disc. This study showed positive antioxidant activities for ginger and leeks, and positive antimicrobial activities for leeks and garlic. These sulfur-containing vegetables are widely used in Korean food. Leeks especially could serve as a functional food preservative.

Maillard reaction flavors had been tried by using krill hydrolysate and precursors in order to develop Teriyaki sauce with the reaction flavors. Also, the study for applying krill to Teriyaki sauce had been tried by using krill instead of eel bones. To make boiled-type and grilled-type reaction flavors, krill hydrolysate was used with other precursors such as serine, glucose and glucosamine. In the dynamic analysis of headspace volatile compounds, 20 mL reaction flavor was analyzed by the combined system of purge & trap, automatic desorber, gas chromatography and mass selective detector. Three kinds of Teriyaki sauce were developed with reaction flavor, krill and eel bones, and their products were evaluated by 10 items of cooked vegetables, cooked potatoes, boiled shrimp, grilled shrimp, fishy smell, pungent aroma, burned smell, sweety aroma, chemical smell, mud smell and preference. In the results of headspace analysis, 35 and 33 volatile compounds were identified from grilled-type and boiled-type reaction flavors. Grilled-type had sulfur-containing, aliphatic compounds, alcohols, ketones, pyrazines, and other aromatic compounds, and grilled-type had aldehydes, furans, other nitrogen-containing compounds. In the sensory evaluation of Teriyaki sauce, the items of roasted shrimp and sweety aroma showed significant differences for grilled-type application to Teriyaki sauce. The above results show the possible application of grilled-type reaction flavor to Teriyaki sauce.
