In this study, domestic wheat white breads were prepared with the substitution of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0% Nelumbo nucifera G. tea powder(NNTP). The samples and a control were then compared with regard to quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of NNTP in the formulation. As the NNTP contents increased, the pH of dough and bread, baking loss, and lightness decreased, whereas the total titratable acidity of dough and bread increased. The fermentation power of dough expansion increased with increasing incubation time. The NNTP samples evidenced significantly higher specific volume, greenness, yellowness, resilience, and crumb consistency than were observed in the control group. However, hardness and fracturability evidenced the opposite effect. The water content and uniformity of the crumb pores were highest at a substitution level of 1.5%, and were lowest at a level of 4.5%. Crumb color, flavor, and delicious taste decreased with increasing NNTP contents, whereas lotus leaf flavor, astringency, bitterness, and off-flavor increased. Density of the crumb pore and crumb springiness were not significantly different among the samples. Softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were maximal with the 1.5% substitution, and were minimal in the 6.0% group. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that $1.5{\sim}3.0%$ NNTP may prove quite useful as a substitute for domestic wheat flour in the production of white bread, and may evidence favorable nutritional and functional properties.

In this study, white bread was prepared containing 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 or 6.0% barley leaves tea powder (BLTP). The samples along with a control were then compared regarding their quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, internal surface appearances and sensory qualities, all to determine the optimal ratio of BLTP. As the BLTP content increased, the pH of the dough and bread and the lightness decreased, whereas the total titratable acidity increased. The fermentation power of dough expansion increased with a longer incubation time. The control group was evidenced by a significantly higher specific volume and baking loss than that observed in the BLTP samples. However, greenness and yellowness evidenced the opposite effect. Hardness was highest at a substitution level of 1.5% and lowest at a level of 4.5%. Fracturability and resilience were not significantly different among the samples. For the internal surface appearance, darkness and greenness increased both increased at higher BLTP content. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor and overall acceptability were highest in the control bread samples but minimal at a substitution level of 6.0%. Softness was the highest at the 3.0% substitution level and lowest in the control bread samples. Barley leaf flavor, astringency, bitterness and off-flavor increased as the BLTP content increased. Delicious taste was not significantly different among the samples. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that 4.5% BLTP may prove quite useful as a substitute for wheat flour in the production of white bread and may provide favorable nutritional and functional properties.

The purpose of this study was to examine physical properties of the addition of green tea powder on bread flour and dough rheology of white pan bread. Three levels(0.1, 0.5 and 1.0% ) of each green tea powder with bread flour were tested for their effects in dough mixing using rapid disco analyzer, alveogram and farinogram. Addition of green tea powder tended to reduce initial pasting temperature and increase peak viscosity, break down and set back. L(extensibility) and G(swelling index) value in alveogram showed decrement with increasing green tea powder. These meant that the volume of white pan bread would show same tendency. The use of green tea powder increased consistency and water absorption of the bread flour but decreased development time, salability and degree of softening on farinogram. White pan bread with green tea powder had higher value of hardness and springness than without it. Sensory evaluation determined that the white pan bread with 0.5% green tea powder had the highest score.

Background: The same plant, Camellia sinensis, is used to produce all types of tea, and the differences among the various types arise from the different processing steps that are used. Based on the degree of fermentation, tea can be classified as black, green, white, or oolong tea. Of these, black tea is the most or fully fermented tea. The oxidized polyphenolic compounds such as theaflavins (TF) and thearubigins (TR) formed during fermentation are responsible for the color, taste, flavor, and aroma of black tea. Results: Research indicates that an optimum ratio of TF and TR (1:10) is required to ensure a quality cup of tea. The concentrations of TF and TR as well as desirable quality characteristics increase as fermentation time increases, reaching optimum levels and then degrading if the fermentation time is prolonged. It is also necessary to control the environment for oxidation. There are no established environment conditions that must be maintained during the fermentation of the ruptured tea leaves. However, in most cases, the process is performed at a temperature of $24-29^{\circ}C$ for 2-4 h or 55-110 min for orthodox tea or crush, tear, and curl (CTC) black tea, respectively, under a high relative humidity of 95-98% with an adequate amount of oxygen. Conclusion: The polyphenolic compounds in black tea such as TF and TR as well as un-oxidized catechins are responsible for the health benefits of tea consumption. Tea is rich in natural antioxidant activities and is reported to have great potential for the management of various types of cancers, oral health problems, heart disease and stroke, and diabetes and to have other health benefits such as the ability to detoxify, improve urine and blood flow, stimulate, and improve the immune system.

The influences of light generated by LEDs on shoot growth and photosynthesis of Tea plant(Camellia sinensis L.) were evaluated. The growth characteristics were investigated after 45 days of culture under four different light qualities: fluorescent lamp, red LED, blue LED, red+blue+white LED. Shoot growth was promoted by red light, especially root length and area were further promoted under the red+blue+white LED. Also, T/R ratio and Chlorophyll content were highest in red+blue+white. Fluor Cam was used to measure the fluorescence images of the plants, inhibition of photochemical efficiency(Fv/Fm) were not changed in all treatment. However, non-photochemical quenching(NPQ) were found rapidly increasing in blue LED, these results were that blue LED were inhibit photosynthetic efficiency and must be considered for efficiently in vitro cultivation of the tea plant. The above results suggest that light qualities could be an important factor to foster in vitro growth of the species. Also, In order to produce healthy plants, it is effective to using light qualities of red+blue+white LED on in vitro culture of the tea plant. These results could be used to mass propagating shoot and produce of healthy seedling.

This study was performed to make new products rising Pimpinella brachycarpa N., one of the Korean aromatic medicinal plant called chamnamul, which is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family. New products were natural chamnamul spice, chamnamul soup, chamnamul tea, and chamnamul mook as functional foods. The masking effect of Pimpinella brachvcarpa N., on fishy and meaty odor were investigated to test the usefulness of chamnamul as a natural spice. It could be concluded that the effect of added amounts of chamnamul on the cream soup increases the taste and appearance, and improves the flavor and color by the sensory evaluation. The chamnamul tea prepared by a filtration method is better than that by a leaching method on the preference test. In the texture properties of chamnamul mooks by a texture analyzer (XT-RA, Texturometer), the cohessiveness of them was higher than that of the white one.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the tooth whitening effect of Listerine Healthy White and provide effective management of extrinsic discoloration by comparing the whitening effects of existing whitening products. Methods: The included study four groups: those using whitening gel, whitening toothpaste, and Listerine Healthy White and a control using artificial saliva. Each group received 40 bovine tooth specimens, which were stained with commonly consumed tooth-coloring-inducing foods; black tea, black coffee, and instant noodles for 72 hours. The specimens were treated with tooth whitening materials for 5 weeks, after which the lightness (L^*) was measured weekly using a spectrophotometer. Results: There was a significant difference in lightness among the groups between the 1st and 5th week of treatment for all tooth-coloring-inducing foods (p<0.05). When comparing the changes in lightness values from before whitening to the 5th week of whitening for all tooth-coloring-inducing foods, the order of change was as follows: whitening gel, whitening toothpaste, Listerine Healthy White, and artificial saliva. Listerine Healthy White showed a significant whitening effect for all tooth-coloring-inducing foods (p<0.05). Particularly, changes in lightness values for specimens stained by black tea after 5 weeks of whitening were in the following order: whitening gel (21.72), whitening toothpaste (14.89), Listerine Healthy White (12.91), and artificial saliva (3.85). For specimens stained by black coffee, the changes in lightness values were in the following order: whitening gel (12.99), whitening toothpaste (9.66), Listerine Healthy White (7.91), and artificial saliva (3.12). Lastly, changes in lightness values for specimens stained by instant noodles were as follows: whitening gel (10.84), whitening toothpaste (9.85), Listerine Healthy White (7.71), and artificial saliva (2.61). Conclusion: Listerine Healthy White exhibits continuous whitening effects over time, and for consumers seeking convenient ways to achieve tooth whitening effects at home, consistent use of Listerine Healthy White is recommended.

In this paper, CdS/Cd(Cu)S thin films and diodes were manufactured via a chemical bath deposition (CBD) process, and the effects of $NH_4Cl$ and TEA(triethylamine) on the properties of the films were examined. The addition of $NH_4Cl$ significantly increased the thickness of the CdS and Cd(Cu)S films, however, the addition of TEA decreased the thickness in both cases slightly. The addition of $NH_4Cl$ along with TEA increased the film thickness more effectively compared to the addition of only $NH_4Cl$. The thickness of the CdS film prepared from an aqueous solution of 0.007 M $CdSO_4$, 1.3 M $NH_4OH$, 0.03 M $SC(NH_2)_2$, 0.0001 M TEA and 0.03 M $NH_4Cl$ was 310 nm. Dark resistivity of the CdS film was $1.2{\times}10^3\;{\Omega}cm$ and the photo resistivity with $500\;W/cm^2$ irradiation of white light was $20{\Omega}cm$. The Cd(Cu)S/CdS thin film diodes prepared by CBD showed good rectifying characteristics.

This study was carried out to investigate changes in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) contents and antioxidant activity of duck egg after pressurized soaking in green tea extract. The duck eggs were soaked in different concentrations of green tea extract (10~30%) and subjected to pressures of 0.1~5.0 MPa for 30 min at ambient temperature in a lab model high-pressure rig. After pressured treatment at 5.0 MPa in 30% green tea extract, EGCG content of duck egg white (20 mg/100 g) markedly increased compared to that of untreated sample (0.17 mg/100 g). Moreover, the antioxidant, hepato-protective, and cellular antioxidant activities of duck egg white after pressured treatment at 5 MPa in 30% green tea extract were all higher than those of untreated sample. Our results could have a direct impact on duck egg consumption by increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits of duck eggs.
