The effect of natural foods, utilizing the extracts or juices of teas(Green tea; Camellia sinesis, Du' thong; Eucommia ulmoides Oliver), medicinal plants(Eu sung cho; Houttuynia cordata Thunb, Sam back cho; Saurus Chinensis, Baek hwa sa seal cho; Oldenladia diffusa Roxb.) seaweeds(Laver; Porphyra tenera, Sea mustard; Undaria pinnatifida, Sea staghorn; Condium fragile) and vegetables(Sweet pepper; Capsicum annuum var. angulosum, Kale; Brassier oleracea var. acephala, Cucumber; Cucumis satiaus, Onion; Album cepa) and fruits(Tomato; Lycopericon esculentum, Maesil; Prunus mume, Plum; Prunus salicina and Grape; Vitis sppJon the inhibition of N-Nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) formation was investigated from the various conditions. The inhibition effect was observed in vitro using the reaction fluids of pH 1.2, 4.2 and 6.0. )mom the teas and medicinal plants, there was a positive response of NDMA formation; however, from the seaweed extracts, there was a negative response of the inhibition effect of NDMA formation, and as the pH of reaction fluids and the amount of materials increase, the inhibition of NDMA formation was strengthened. The inhibition ratios by the level of pH are as follows: under pH 1.2 vegetable juice were 57.6 99.7% and fruits were 35.9 99.7%; under pH 4.2 vegetable juice were 55.0-97.5% and fruits were 21.3 96.8%. All of the materials observed has been proved and shown the inhibition effect of NDMA formation.
