This study investigated the effects of water-soluble calcium supplements manufactured with eggshells and oyster shells on growing rats. The aim was to review the potential use of food wastes as materials for water-soluble calcium supplements as compared to water-soluble calcium supplements made from imported seaweed powder. When experimental animals were administered three types of water-soluble calcium supplements orally for six weeks, the serum calcium level of the seaweed calcium supplement group were significantly higher than that of eggshell or oyster shell-derived calcium, but blood alkali phosphatase activity, osteocalcin and urine crosslink levels were not different in the three types of calcium supplements. Bone mineral density and bone mineral content in spine, femur and tibia also were not significantly different among the groups. However, when considering body weight of each group, bone mineral density and bone mineral content of the femur were significantly higher in the oyster shell calcium supplement group. These results suggest that at least on a short-term basis, the effect of calcium supplements prepared from eggshell and oyster shell are similar to the effects of seaweed calcium supplements.

This study was designed to compare the physicochemical and nutritional properties between reconstituted milk samples made from freeze-dried milk powder (FDMP) and spray-dried milk powder (SDMP). Reconstituted milk (87%, wb) was made by combining FDMP or SDMP with water. In the color analysis, the $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of the reconstituted milk samples made from both powders were not significantly different from the control. The thiobarbituric acid values and short-chain free fatty acid concentrations were considerably greater in the reconstituted milk made from SDMP than in the milk made from FDMP. The quantities of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins in the reconstituted milk samples made from SDMP were significantly lower than those made from FDMP. Based on the findings obtained in the present study, the reconstituted milk made from FDMP appeared to be more resistant to lipid oxidation and exhibited little changes in the nutrients levels when compared with reconstituted milk made from SDMP.

The microcapsules containing ethanol in a water-soluble polymer shell could be formed by the spray-drying technique. A mixed solution of ethanol, water and a water-soluble polymer is spray-dried at the lowest possible temperature to obtain a powder product in which the water is substantially removed and the ethanol is encapsulated in water-soluble polymer shell because of the hydrophillic property of polymer and permeability difference between ethanol and water. In this study, the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) on the ethanol content, ethanol encapsulation efficiency and yield were investigated to maximize the microencapsulation of ethanol.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum conditions for extraction of soluble acidic polysaccharides from ginseng marc. Method of carbazole-sulfuric acid was applied to determine the amount of acidic polysaccharides in ginseng marc. The amounts of soluble acidic polysaccharides in water extract of ginseng marc were increased with increasing extraction temperature. The contents of acidic polysaccharides were not significantly different despite the extraction time increasing from 0.5 hours to 6 hours. To estimate the rehydration rate of the freeze dried polysaccharide, the extracted acidic polysaccharide fraction powder was determined the amount of soluble acidic polysaccharides by carbazole-sulfuric acid method again. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharides from water-extract of red ginseng marc at room temperature was 100%. On the other hand, the rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide of red ginseng marc at boiling temperature was about 50%. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharides from water-extract of white ginseng marc at room temperature was 50%. The rehydration rate of acidic polysaccharide of red ginseng marc at boiling temperature was about 40%. The rate of soluble acidic polysaccharide of Red Ginseng is higher than that of White Ginseng. We can find out the maximum extraction method of soluble acidic polysaccharide from ginseng marc.

This study compared the physicochemical properties of soybean curd residue and black soybean curd residue produced by hot air-drying and freeze-drying. Regardless of drying method, the crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber contents, pH, L, a, b color values and water soluble index were higher in soybean curd residue, whereas total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity were higher in black soybean curd residue. Significant differences in water absorption index, oil absorption capacity and emulsion activity were observed between soybean curd residue and black soybean curd residue in freeze-drying. On the other hand, the emulsion stability was not significant difference in both hot-air drying and freeze-drying. The crude protein and crude fiber contents of soybean curd residue were not significant difference between hot-air drying and freeze-drying. Freeze-drying resulted in higher crude ash contents, pH, water absorption index, water soluble index, oil absorption capacity, emulsion activity and emulsion stability than hot-air drying. Hot-air drying have caused significantly higher water contents, water activity, total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity in soybean curd residue than freeze-drying. In conclusion, soybean type and drying methods affect the physicochemical and quality characteristics of soybean curd residue, which could be important factors in the manufacture of processed foods.

Sol-gel derived phosphate water-sioluble glasses containing Cu were prepared. Powder-shape of glasses were added in D.I water used polyethylene bottle. After solution contained glass powder were submerged in water bath on 25$^{\circ}C$ their dissolution behavior/characteristics bactericidal effect and cytotoxicity test were evaluated. The maximum amount of Cu(35 mol%) via sol-gel method was more 5 mol% increased than that with melting process. The stage of total dissolution was more dominant than that of selective leaching dur-ing dissolution due to dissolved amount of glasses increased linearly with time. The ratio of Cu+ to {{{{ {Cu }^{2+ } }} was 3:7 so that the structure of glasses is more predominant 2-dimension chain structure than 3-dimenshion po-lymeric structue. The stage of total dissolution was more dominant than that of selective leaching during dissolution. Bactericidal effect against all bacteria showed that solutions which contained 40 ppm and 100 ppm of Cu killed 80 percentages of bacteria within 2 hours and 100 percentages of those within 12 hours. The results of cytotoxicity test for L929 cells showed no cytotoxicity were observed within 96 hours for dis-solved solution that contains 40 ppm and 100 ppm of Cu.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of dietary pigment sources on shell color of juvenile abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. Three replicate groups of the abalone, average weight 173 mg, were fed the diets containing various pigment sources such as Porphyra powder, Spirulina, yeast astaxanthin and paprika extract for 16 weeks. Survival and weight gain were not affected by dietary pigment sources (P>0.05). Shell color of abalone fed diets containing Porphyra powder and Spirulina was approached to yellow-red and orange which are similar to shell color of wild abalone. However, shell color of abalone fed the diets containing yeast astaxanthin and paprika extract were similar to that of control diet showing bright green. Porphyra powder and Spirulina contain not only fat-soluble pigment such as chlorophyll and carotenoids but also water-soluble pigment such as phycoerythrin and phycocyanin. These results would be useful information to change shell color of abalone in aquaculture.

The whole saltwort plant (Salicornia herbacea) was micronized to develop the table salt substitute. The micronized powder was mixed with distilled water and made into a spherical granule by using the fluid-bed coater (SGMPDW). The SGMPDW had superior flowability to powder; however, it had low dispersibility. To increase the dispersibility of SGMPDW, the micronized powder was mixed with the solution, which contained various soluble solid contents of saltwort aqueous extract (SAE), and made into a spherical granule (SGMPSAE). The SGMPSAE prepared with the higher percentages of solid content of SAE showed improved dispersibility in water and an increase in salty taste. The SGMPSAE prepared with 10% SAE was shown to possess the best physicochemical properties and its relative saltiness compared to NaCl (0.39). In conclusion, SGMPSAEs can be used as a table salt substitute and a functional food material with enhanced absorptivity and convenience.

The present study was directed to investigate the antioxidative effects of onion and mustard powder extracts on fish oil. The oxidative changes of sardine oil with and without onion and mustard powder extract were estimated by measuring peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, weighing method, acid value (AV) and fatty acid composition, periodically. The results obtained are summarized as follows ; From view point of POV, fat soluble fraction of onion and mustard powder showed much inhibitory effect on the oxidation of sardine oil, marked induction period to be prolonged about 18 and 20 days, respectively. But the POV in fat soluble fraction of mustard powder increased remarkably in the early stage of storage, so it did not show inhibitory effect on the oxidation of sardine oil. In the TBA value of sardine oil during storage, the water soluble fraction of onion and mustard powder were more slowly increased than other fractions. The weighing change of sardine oil, contained in the water soluble fraction of mustard powder, was slower than other fractions, marking $0.5\%$ of weight gain during 30 day storage. On the other hand water and $80\%$ ethanol soluble fractions of onion were marked $2.3\%\;and\;5.8\%$ of weight gain during 30 day storage. In the oxidative degradation of docosahexaenoic acid, water soluble fractions of mustard powder and onion extracts showed the strongest inhiditory effect.

Fibrionolytic activity(FA) of kimchi in rat and FAs of water and methanol extracts of kimchi ingredient were determined using fibrin plate method to see where the active principles for FA are present in kimchi. Nine Sprague-Dawley per each group were fed diet containing 3, 5 or 10% of freeze dried kimchi for 6 weeks. The FA of plasma obtained from 10% kimchi group showed stronger FA than that of control. FAs of 3 and 5% kimchi group were not noticeable. FA from methanol extract of kimchi was approximately 6 times higher than that from water extract assuming that the active material may be present in a fat soluble fraction. From water extract of kimchi ingredients, dropwort, green onion, radish and baechu showed FA in descending order. And from methanol extracts, red pepper powder, radish, green onion and baechu showed FA in decending order. The Fa of methanol extract of red pepper powder was the most noticeable among samples.
