The sugar contents of Dolwoe, which were prepared in the laboratory and marketed Korean products of Dolwoe, Japanese product of Dolwoe and Korean-roasted products of Dolwoe were analyzed and compared. The contents of total sugar and reducing sugar of stem in prepared Dolwoe tea were 2 times higher than those of leaf. The sugar content of Korean product was similar to that of Japanese, but the contents of total sugar and reducing sugar in Korean-roasted sample decreased to 17.2% and 40.9%, respectively. It was confirmed that free sugar in Dolwoe tea was composed of rhamnose, fructose, glucose and sucrose. The ratio of free sugar content was quite different between Dolwoe-leaf tea and Dolwoe-stem tea. Comparing the free sugar content in prepared Dolwoe tea, glucose was the highest followed by fructose, sucrose and rhamnose. On the other hand, in marketed Dolwoe tea, glucose was the highest substance and followed by fructose, rhamnose and sucrose. It was found that rhamnose content in Japanese product was approximately 6 times more than that of Korean.

A functional yogurt was prepared from whole milk (12%) and skim milk (2%) added with green tea and mugwort tea at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hors. The yogurt product were evaluated for acid production (pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, sensory property and quality-keeping property. Addition of green tea and mugwort tea remarkably accelerated acid production of yogurt. After 24 hrs incubation, titratabel acidity of green tea and mugwort tea yogurt was 1.46% and 1.62%, respectively and was higher than that (1.30%) of yogurt made with only milk. The propagation of lactic acid bacteria was not stimulated by green tea and mugwort tea and then the number of viable cell in normal (milk) yogurt green tea yogurt and mugwort tea yogurt groups, after 24 hrs incubation, was about 7.2$\times$$10^{8}$, 7.1$\times$$10^{8}$ and 7.0$\times$$10^{8}$/mL, respectively, Viscosity of green tea yogurt was slightly lower than that of milk yogurt (1,840 cps) and viscosity of mugwort tea yogurt was slightly higher than that of mild yogurt. The overall sensory score of green tea yogurt was the best of tested yogurt. When yogurt with green tea and mugwort tea was kept at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, its quality-keeping property was relatively good.

The pine mushroom is recognized as being a valuable functional food and is considered a prized mushroom. One of the product development plans for this mushroom is a granular tea. Thus, for this study, the physical properties and sensory qualities evaluation of such a this product were measured. First, we extracted pine mushrooms at various temperatures(50, 60, 70, 80 and $90^{\circ}C$) to make a pine mushroom granular tea. The extraction yield and free amino acid content were greatest in the $50^{\circ}C$ extraction. This extract that was acquired at $50^{\circ}C$ was lyophilized and pulverized to make the granule tea. According to the results, the granular tea made from 4% pine mushroom powder had the best taste, with a Brix value of 1.9% and a pH of 4.12. The L-value of chromaticity was 49.00, the a-value -0.85, and the b-value was 1.28.

This study was aimed at investigating the physicochemical characteristics of a freeze-dried soybean paste block with sea mustard. In the proximate composition, the crude protein, lipid and ash contents were higher in the product prepared with commercial doenjang than in a green tea product, whereas the carbohydrate content was high in the green tea doenjang than in the commercial product. There was a rich composition of free amino acids, alanine, phenylalanine, hydroxyproline, valine, leucine, isoleucine and lysine in both products. The majoity of the free amino acids were more abundant in the green tea doenjang product than in the commercial doenjang product. There were no differences between the two products in the total saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The order of the abundance of the fatty acid contents in both products were linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid. The major of the organic acid in both the commercial soybean paste product and the green tea product was oxalic acid, followed by tartaric acid and citric acid. In the sensory evaluation test, the taste, color and overall acceptability were not significantly different between both products, but the odor was significantly higher in the commercial product than in the green tea product. The freeze-dried doenjang product could be convenient for cooking nutritious sea mustard soup, without tedious preparations for a husband and wife that are both working.

TThis study was designed to investigate the effect of puerh tea (Camellia sinensis LINNE) on the disposition of alcohol concentration and hangover symptoms in healthy college students. Subjects were assigned to 5 groups: empty control, normal control, puerh tea group (2%, 4%, 10%, wjv), G-P group (G company product), and B-P group (B company product). The puerh tea extract decreased the alcohol concentration in respiration, especially at the concentration of 4% (w/v). As a result of questionnaire analysis, a higher score was shown after drinking puerh tea extract than that of the usual state, but the difference had no statistical significance (P<0.05).

Being producing and evaluating oat-chocolate were a major goal in this study. There were various steps to make oat-chocolate. First, oat was roasted with an optimum roasting-temperature. Second, discovered the best natural antioxidant to extend storage period and improve quality of goods. Third, developed processing goods and made an evaluation of quality properties. We selected optimum roasting condition of $160^{\circ}C$ for 15 min based on the acid value and the sensory characteristics such as color, taste, smell and overall preference of oat flour. As for natural antioxidants, we made use of 3 kinds of antioxidants (cactus, lavender and green tea) and two concentrations (0.5 and 1%). In investigating antioxidants, an acid value was significantly decreased as the antioxidants were added (p<0.05). Nothing was as low in acid value as a chocolate with 1 % lavender flour in 7 days. Findings showed the sensory characteristics of products containing antioxidants such as green tea and cactus, were higher than those of Cont. in 7 days. A product including 0.5% green tea marked the best sensory score among antioxidants. Compared cost among 3 antioxidants, green tea was the cheapest. In the end, 0.5% green tea was selected as an optimal antioxidant to make high-quality oat chocolate. We made an end product by mixing green tea (0.5%) and oat. With respect to Hunter's color L (whiteness), a (redness) and b (yellowness), as green tea added, L and a level showed an increasing tendency. However, an opposition result was expressed in b level. When compared pH value and total acidity, it was statistically identical between Cont. and product with 0.5% green tea (G-0.5). There was different acid value among specimens. The acid value of G-0.5 was lower than that of Cont. up to 7 days, resulting in lower acid value than a ready-made product (D-Co.). When we assessed the sensory characteristics, G-0.5 was higher than other specimens such as Cont. and ready-made products (D-Co. and H-Co.) up to 6 days after manufacture. Put previous findings together, the addition of 0.5% green tea increased an antioxidative effect as well as the sensory acceptability of oat-chocolate.

This study was carried out to evaluate effect of dietary green tea by-products (GTB) on laying performance and quality of eggs in hens. A total of 96 laying hens (22-week-old) "Tetran Brown" were allotted to four dietary treatments, which containing 0, 2, 4 and 6% green tea-by products. The results showed that the egg production increased (P＜0.05) in layers fed diets containing 4% or 6% green tea-by products compared to the layers fed control no GTB. Egg weight and egg mass in layers fed diets containing 2% green tea by-products significantly decreased compared to those in the other groups (P<0.05). The feed intake was lower in layers fed diets containing 2% and 6% green tea by-products. The feed conversion ratio was lower (P<0.05) in layers fed diets containing 4% or 6% green tea by-product supplementation respectively. The egg shell thickness was no significantly different between layers fed the control and green tea by-product diets (P>0.05). The egg yolk cholesterol tended to decrease when layers fed diets containing green tea by-products, although the differences were not significant (P＞0.05). The linolenic and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid contents in egg yolk significantly increased in layers fed diets containing different levels green tea by-products compared to those fed control diet (P<0.05). These results suggest that inclusion of green tea by-products in layer diets is suitable for hens without negative effects on egg composition.

Throughout the Chinese sphere, that is, in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, tea houses, tea stores, and tea meditation groups often without a particular religious orientation have appeared in the past decades. Tea lovers groups with various philosophical discussions appear throughout cyberspace, where people show their appreciation for tea as a drinkable delicious product and a spiritual tool. The question to be asked here is whether it should be recognized as a religious or spiritual practice agent in and of itself? Should we then talk about the present-day movement of teaism? If we do recognize this as a spiritual phenomenon, should it then be labeled as a New Religious Movement? The trajectory of tea in China is intrinsically connected to religious traditions. This connection is historical, yet it plays a part in the contemporary religious and spiritual sphere. The article explores the continuation and developments of tea culture in the context of the religious sphere of China, looking at practices connected to tea of communities, religious organizations, and individuals. The author explores how tea drinking, commercializing and tea related practices intersect with politics, materiality, and spirituality in contemporary society. In this context it is then argued that tea is a cultural element, religious self-refinement tool, and an active material agent with social-political capacities. The study includes historical narratives, ethnographic data, and literary sources about tea, making up a genealogy of tea which encompasses ritualistic aspects, economic aspects, and power relations related to tea in Chinese society.

During the Chosun dynasty there were royal proprieties of tea ritual mainly for the purpose of serving envoys from neighboring countries and offering of a new product to the Deity. There were Buddhist proprieties of tea ritual representing religious ideals of each sect of Buddhism. And Confucian tea rituals were performed in accordance with the book entitled Kare (a family code of decorum) written by Chuja. Besides these there, were Taoist proprieties of the ritual.
