  • General composition, total anthocyan content, and antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of Korean purple. fleshed potatoes (varieties A-D based on coloring degree of cross sections) were investigated. Slight differences in composition content were observed among varieties. Color intensity analyzed by sensory evaluation test decreased in order of PL-14, 31, 28, 3, 17, and 6, Total anthocyanin contents differed significantly among varieties from 3 to 29 mg Per 100 g, and decreased in order of PL-28, 31, 14, 12, 5, and 3. PL-28, 31, and Jasim potatoes showed slightly higher antioxidant activities than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. PL-28, 31, 6, and Jasim showed antimicrobial activities against three species each of Gram-positive and-negative bacteria, with highest activities observed against Bacillus subtilis and relatively high activities against E. coli.

  • This study compared the nutritional composition of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss from different inland-based trout farms. The proximate composition ranges of the fish were 67.10-72.77 g/100 g moisture, 19.13-21.35 g/100 g crude protein, 5.12-11.72 g/100 g crude lipid, and 1.24-1.97 g/100 g ash. In addition, rainbow trout contained significantly different mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acid concentrations, ranging from 1.31 to 4.33 g/100 g and 1.21 to 3.2 g/100 g, respectively. The content of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids ranged from 0.68 to 1.68 and from 0.49 to 1.61 g/100 g, respectively. The n-6/n-3 ratio was in the range of 0.79-1.59. The vitamin content of the rainbow trout from the different farms was 14.83-49.30 ㎍/100 g vitamin A, 922.05-3,179.38 ㎍/100 g alpha-tocopherol, ND-73.59 ㎍/100 g, gamma-tocopherol, 2.97-14.55 ㎍/100 g vitamin D, and 76.63-126.03 ㎍/100 g vitamin B2. Slight differences were observed in the crude lipid, fatty acid, and vitamins A and E contents among the of rainbow trouts from the different farms. The results suggest that the fish nutrient composition, especially that of lipids, was significantly different among rainbow trouts from different farms, but may not be related to the production area.

  • In this study, quality properties of rapeseed oil by different roasting temperatures (140, 160, 180, and 200℃) were investigated. Roasted-pressed oil (RPO) showed a decrease in lightness and an increase in redness and yellowness with an increase in temperature compared to cold-pressed oil (CPO). In addition, the β-carotene and tocopherol content also increased in RPO as the roasting temperature increased. The tocopherol content increased by 18~20% in RPO at 200℃ compared to CPO. This increase in bioactive components led to improved radical scavenging activity dependent on roasting temperature, and RPO at 200℃ showed a 2.7-fold improvement compared to CPO. Finally, it was observed that higher roasting temperatures resulted in an extended oxidation induction period, increasing by up to 3.3 times. In conclusion, roasting is an effective method for enhancing the oil functionality of domestic rapeseed varieties. This study provides basic data for producing high-quality oil.

  • Effects of bleaching and deodorization on the quality of imported palm and canola oils were evaluated. Imported palm oil and deacidified canola oil were bleached with acid clay, followed by deodorization. Oxidation-related quality was evaluated by determining fatty acid composition by GC, acid and peroxide values, induction period by Rancimat, and off-flavor compounds by GC-MS. Tocopherols and benzo(a)pyrene were analyzed by HPLC. Acid and peroxide values were decreased by bleaching and deodorization, and tocopherol content was decreased to 60-70% (p<0.05). Aldehydes were major off-flavor compound class of imported oils, most of which were removed after deodorization. No significant change was observed in benzo(a)pyrene content (${\sim}0.4{\mu}g/kg$) of both oils by bleaching and deodorization (p>0.05). The oxidation-related quality of palm and canola oils was more improved after industrial bleaching than by deodorization. These results suggest that a careful control of bleaching during domestic refining can improve the quality of palm and canola oils.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the candidate genes involved in selenium content in brown rice. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) was important crop including diverse functional substance such as carbohydrate, protein, lysine and tocopherol, mineral. Especially, selenium as nutritionally important minerals, it was known to activate the immune system, antioxidant effect and inhibition of carcinogenesis. Also recommended daily requirements of the United States and the United Kingdom were 55 to 90 ug for selenium. Therefore, selenium content in brown rice of core-set were analyzed by using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) and GWAS (Genome Wide Association Study) was conducted to search for candidate genes in this study. The new natural variants identified through haplotyping analysis would be useful to develop new rice varieties with improved storage ability of the valuable mineral through the future molecular breeding.

  • Antioxidants are an important group of medicinal preventive compounds as well as being food additives inhibiting detrimental changes of easily oxidizable nutrients. The present investigation has been carried out to evaluate the antioxidant properties of different solvent extracts of Agriophyllum pungens seeds by various in vitro systems. The antioxidative activities of these samples were determined using four methods: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'- azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP), and hydroxyl (OH) radical scavenging activities. Additionally, total flavonoids and phenolic contents (TPC) were also determined. Yield of extracts varied widely among solvents and was the highest for water extract (5.642% based on dry weight basis), while ethyl acetate extract exhibited the highest total phenolic content (0.149 mg/mL), total flavonoid content (0.111 mg/mL), and antioxidant activities (P<0.05). The ABTS radical scavenging activity of A. pungens seeds occurred in the following order: ascorbic acid (92.9157%)>BHA (90.1503%)> ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (87.7527%)>APEA (83.9887%) >APWR (75.5633%); the antioxidant activity of the extracts might be attributed to the presence of these phenolics. This suggests that A. pungens seed extract is a potential source of natural antioxidants, which could be added to dietary supplements to help prevent oxidative stress.

  • To evaluate the potential of a new breed, Suweon-511, antioxidant components and antioxidant activities of the 70% ethanol extracts of Suweon-511 (SWE) and Ilpum (IPE) were measured. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were 318.17 and 167.21 $\mu$g/g for SWE, which were higher than that of IPE (222.16 and 100.89 $\mu$g/g). Both $\alpha$- and $\gamma$-tocopherol contents were higher in SWE as well. The total tocopherol contents of SWE (1.31 mg/100 g) was higher than that of IPE (0.86 mg/100 g). The $\alpha$-, $\gamma$- and $\delta$-tocotrienol contents of SWE (0.10, 0.43, and 0.02 mg/100 g) that of IPE (0.09, 0.43, and 0.03 mg/100 g) showed little difference. For $\gamma$-oryzanol, Suweon-511, which contained 76.58 $\mu$g/g, contained ten times as much as I lpum (7.77 $\mu$g/g). The total antioxidant activity of SWE and IPE were 16.00 and 9.73 mg AA eq/g, respectively. For reducing power, at 5 mg/mL, both extracts were 0.18, but at 20 mg/mL, SWE showed 0.61 and that of IPE was 0.58. The DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity of SWE were 42.00, 21.59, 23.27, and 17.13% at 5 mg/mL, and for IPE, they were 30.10, 22.37, 25.18, and 18.08%, respectively. These data, as well, did not show big difference between the two breeds. As indicated in the data above, the newly-bred Suweon-511 had higher content of antioxidant components compared to Ilpum, but similar or a little higher antioxidant activity.

  • In order to examine the effect of dietary fish oil on lipid peroxide formation and antiperoxidative efficiency in liver and brain, a group of male and female rats weighing about 70 grams were fed for three months, diet containing mackerel oil(MO) at the level of 10% (w/w). Results were compared, according to sex and source of dietary fat, i.e., in addition to MO, perilla oil(PO), soybean oil(SO), rapeseed oil(RO) or beef tallow(BT). Liver lipid peroxide level was significantly higher and levels of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and reduced glutathione(GSH) were lower in MO group than in other groups. This phenomenon was less clear in male than in female. Liver GSH level was lower in male, compared to female, but oxidized glutathione (GSSG) level did not vary, depending on either sex or dietary fat source. Brain lipid peroxide and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ levels were not different among five experimental groups. Activities of liver and brain glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were not changed by dietary fat source, but glutathione peroxidase activity was higher in female than in male. The present study shows (a) that there is sex-related difference in antiperoxidatiye activity and (b) that fish oil containing $C_{20-22}({\omega}3)$ fatty acids, increases body lipid peroxide level and consumes more of cellular antioxidant, although it has lower total PUFA content than perilla or soybean oils.

  • For selecting a new candidate as functional material, this study was conducted on in vitro antioxidant activity and total phenol content of methanol and water extracts prepared from two Mentha species (M viridis L. (M spicata L.) and Mentha piperita L, Extracts of M. viridis showed more efficient scavenging activity on superoxide and DPPH ${({\alpha},{\alpha}-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl)}$ radical and inhibitory activity on oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) induced by $CuSO_4$ and auto-oxidation of linoleic acid than those of M piprita. Methanol extract $(65.88%{\sim}77.59%)$ and water extract $(37.69%{\sim}87.21%)$ of M. viridis also exhibited more potent inhibitory activity on LDL oxidation than that of ${{\alpha}-tocopherol\;(28.37%{\sim}66.54%)}$ at ${1{\sim}100\;{\mu}g/ml}$ of final concentration. The total phenol contents of methanol extract and water extract of Mviridis (17.95% & 10.18%, respectively) as tannic acid equivalent were higher than those of M piperita (15.44% & 9.19%). But the yields of methanol and water extracts of M. viridis (13.3 % & 13.5%) were lower than those of M. piperita (14.1 % & 14.6%). The results implies that the extracts from M. viridis (spicata) is more useful material for industrialization as functional food than those from M. piperita.

  • Zanthoxylum piperitum and Z. schinifolium have been utilized not only as food stuffs, but also as medicinal plants in Korea. In this study, lipids, sugar, amino acids and other components of Zanthoxylum piperitum and Z. schinifolium peels and seeds were analyzed by HPLC and GLC. Four samples contained common fatty acids such as linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acid. The contents of unsaturated fatty acids were 87.1% and 64.8% in Z. schinifolium peels and seeds, 73.6% and 62.9% in Z. piperitum peels and seeds, respectively. Z. schinifolium peels contained only beta-sitosterol, whereas other three samples contained campesterol, stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol. In case of free amino acids, peels of both species showed higher contents of acids than seeds of both species. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, valine, and leucine were found in all four samples. Essential oils consisted of limonene (30.1-66.8%), beta-phellandrene (4.8-13.3%), citronellal (1.5-22%) and cineol (1.6-3.9%). It is worthwhile to note that the content of citronellal in Z. schinifolium seeds was higher than that of the others.
