The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of macaron with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of macaron with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of CP were examined. The quality of macarons was evaluated based on spread factor, baking loss rate, color, texture, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation. As amount of CP addition increased, spread factor, baking loss rate, and L and a values decreased, whereas b value increased (p<0.05). For texture properties, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness were increased by addition of CP (p<0.05). The gumminess and brittleness did not show significant changes up to 3% CP addition although significant changes in 5-7% CP addition (p<0.05) were evident. The total polyphenolic contents, DPPH radical scavenging activities, and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the consumer acceptance of macarons, 3% CP showed the highest in color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptance and 5% CP showed the highest in taste. Meanwhile, macaron containing 7% CP showed the lowest scores in texture and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 3% of CP was the optimal concentration for making macaron.

This study was conducted in an effort to investigate the effect of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on enzymatic browning of burdock and their anti-oxidant activity. The MRPs were prepared by heating glucose and amino acids at 90°C, which served to produce a strong inhibitory effect on burdock polyphenol oxidase. As the reaction time of the solution containing glucose and amino acid increased at 90°C, the production of MRPs increased and intensity of the brown color deepened. When MRPs were prepared by heating at 90°C for five hours, the absorbance of MRPs from glucose and lysine was 6.44, while those of glucose and glycine was 1.95. The MRPs synthesized from the glucose and lysine also reduced the pH of MRPs from 5.60 to 4.51, but those from glucose and glycine decreased slightly from 5.57 to 5.33. The Michealis-Menten constant value (Km) of burdock PPO with pyrocatechol as a substrate was 16.0 mM, and MRPs were a non-competitive inhibitor against burdock PPO. The anti-oxidant activity of MRPs was measured by evaluating its radical scavenging activities of DPPH radicals, ABTS radicals and reducing power. The color intensity of MRPs produced by lysine and glucose were deeper than that produced by glucose and glycine. It was also found that MRPs produced from glucose and lysine exhibited stronger anti-oxidant properties than those produced by glucose and glycine.

We examined the quality characteristics of pound cake with prepared Aronia melanocarpa powder, which included the physical characteristics, antioxidant activity and sensory evaluation in this study. Pound cakes were prepared with various ratios of Aronia powder (0, 5, 10, 15, 20%). No significant difference in loss rate or weight was found from increased Aronia powder concentration. The color of pound cake was darker and reddish with the addition of Aronia powder. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) significantly decreased with the addition of Aronia powder, whereas redness (a) increased (p<0.05). the qualities of hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of the pound cake prepared with the addition of Aronia powder were significantly increased when compared to control(p<0.05), with exception of 20% addtion. Total phenolic contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity was significantly elevated by the addition of Aronia powder(p<0.05). The pound cake with 10% Aronia powder showed the strongest positive sensory properties with regard to taste and overall palatibility. These results suggest that the addition of 10 % Aronia to pound cake batter could well serve to improve the overall quality, texture and taste of the final product.

This work aimed to discriminate the geographical origins of Domestic and Chinese Wolfiporia extensa. subjected to of oxygen (45.32 to 48.07%), carbon (38.09 to 40.12%), hydrogen (6.05 to 6.78%), and nitrogen (0.16 to 0.23%). Antioxidant activity was examined by DPPH free radical scavenging activity. According to the results of the experiment, no significant differences were found between domestic (IC50, 7.25 mg/ml) and Chinese (IC50, 8.35 mg/ml) Poria cocos wolf. However, as determined by the inorganic mineral contents were significantly different between domestic and Chinese W. extensa. The amount of potassium in domestic and Chinese W. extensa was 47.60 ± 8.78% and 33.14 ± 17.27%, respectively. The results of this study suggested that the analysis of inorganic components by ED-XRF should be useful for origin identification of Poria cocos wolf.

This study was conducted to in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of EtOH extracts of Cordyceps militaris (CM). Antioxidant potential, total phenolic and flavonoid contents of CM EtOH extracts were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method and the aluminum chloride colorimetric method, respectively. Antioxidant activity of CM extracts was measured by following some well-established methods for free radical scavenging such as 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl hydrate and 1,2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). Moreover, Anti-inflammatory activity of CM extracts was determined by measuring the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide/interferon-γ-activated RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells. In addition, cytotoxicity of CM extracts against macrophages was determined by MTT assay. Our results showed that total phenolic content was 19.7 mg gallic acid/g extract. Total flavonoid content was 5.0 mg Naringin/g. Its antioxidant activity was assessed by IC50 value and the values are 338.8 μg/ml (DPPH radical scavenging), 35.4 μg/ml (ABTS radical scavenging). In addition, CM extracts attenuated NO production through the reduction of cellular inducible NO synthase protein expressions. Using MTT assay on indicate that CM extracts showed no toxicity. In conclusion, these results provide important evidence that CM extracts can potentially be used to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Caesalpinia sappan L. is an oriental medicinal plant distributed in the Asia Pacific region including India, Malaysia, and China. The dried heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan has been traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. In this study, the effects of extract methods of C. sappan on contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxic activity were evaluated. As a result, hot water extract from C. sappan (CSWE) significantly exhibited contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids (22.6 mg GAE/g and 14.5 mg QE/g) higher than 70% ethanol extract (CSEE) (17.6 mg GAE/g and 13.2 mg QE/g). However, CSEE showed greater antioxidant activity than CSWE in both DPPH and ABTS. Also, the cytotoxicity of C. sappan against three kinds of cancer cell lines was higher in CSEE than in CSWE. These results show that ethanol extract is a better extract method than hot water method to maintain antioxidant and anti-cancer activities.

Cockles(Tegillarca granosa) species that found throughout the Indo-Pacific region and this study was conducted in Yeosu from November 2015 through April 2016.

The results showed that all cockle samples were related to antioxidant activities, they also possessed effective abilities as free radical scavengers, reducing agents, and iron chelators in most cases. Seasonal variations in antioxidant activities were also observed, characterized by high activity values in April, spring season, a period where phytoplankton is their primary food source which propagates considerably. Moreover, the harvested cockles exhibited the higher radical scavenging activities than marketed cockles by compared in the similar concentration and the activities increased with increasing concentration. The results also showed the useful in the assessment of the cockle potential for the development of functional foods, food ingredients or pharmaceuticals. Moreover, keeping the freshness of the cockle during processing chain is pivotal for keeping its antioxidant activities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activities (FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH), and antibacterial properties of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) extracts. Lotus leaves, stems, and seed pods were extracted with deionized water at 95℃, and with 70.5% ethanol at 85℃. The TPC ranged from 8.12 to 215.12 GAE mg/g. The ethanol extract of the seed pod had the highest TPC, and the TPC of the corresponding deionized water extract was 161.45 mg/g. FRAP values ranged from 104.03 to 3,546.39 TEAC μmol/g, ABTS radical cation scavenging activities ranged from 105.11 to 3,956.94 TEAC μmol/g, and DPPH radical scavenging activities ranged from 37.29 to 2,549.46 TEAC μmol/g. EC50 values ranged from 0.26 to 9.63 mg/mL, and 0.31 to 21.21 mg/mL for ABTS and DPPH, respectively. The ethanol and deionized water extracts of the seed pod showed higher TPC and stronger antioxidant properties (FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH) than those of characteristic of the leaf extracts. The ethanol and deionized water extracts of the seed pod showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with inhibition zones of 9.0 to 14.0 mm, and the ethanol extract of the leaf showed antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis and S. aureus with inhibition zones of 9.0 and 10.0 mm, respectively. Thus, the lotus seed pod could be used to produce novel teas, and could be a potential source of therapeutic ingredients for food and medicine.

An agricultural waste, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel is known to be rich in total phenolics, which are flavonoids having strong antioxidant effects. In this study, pomegranate peel sponge cakes were prepared with varying ratios of freeze dried pomegranate peel powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w)) to examine their effect on quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities. The specific gravity and moisture contents of 3, 5, and 7% pomegranate peel powder showed higher values than the control and 1% group. Addition of pomegranate peel powder increased the batter yield, while there was a significant decrease in baking loss. Increasing pomegranate peel powder content significantly decreased the lightness (L) (from 75.03 to 57.04) and pH values, whereas redness (a), yellowness (b) and ΔE were increased. Increasing concentration of the peel powder also increased the hardness and chewiness, while the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Considering the Avrami equation, Avrami exponene (n) decreased from 1.8055 (control) to 0.9199 (7% pomegranate peel powder). Time constant (1/k) was lowest in control (at 17.64) and highest in the 7% group (39.84). Total polyphenol, flavonoid content, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased with increments in the content of pomegranate peel powder. A sensory evaluation by the 7-point scaling method showed that the sponge cake containing 7% pomegranate peel powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. Hence, it is considered that sponge cake supplemented with 7% pomegranate peel powder is the most appropriate for quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities.

Spread factor was significantly higher in cookies made with teff flour (83.00~85.00) than in the control (81.33) (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in density among the samples at 1.17~1.25 g/mL (p<0.05); however, pH significantly decreased at 6.42~6.04 (p<0.05). While the L-value and b-value significantly decreased with the amount of teff flour, the a-value significantly increased (p<0.05). The ΔE value was the highest in the control at 31.31 and the lowest in TF100 at 58.69. Hardness was the highest in the control at 42.04 N than in cookies containing teff flour. The content of polyphenols was the highest in TF100 at 3.37 μg GAE/mg and the lowest in the control at 1.32 μg GAE/mg. The content of flavonoids was the highest in TF100 at 3.66 μg QE/mg and the lowest in controls at 0.45 μg QE/mg. The value of DPPH IC50 was the highest in the control at 3,723.00 μg/mL and the lowest in TF 100 at 405.27 μg/mL. The value of ABTS IC50 was the highest in the control at 1,822.32 μg/mL and the lowest in TF100 at 529.30 μg/mL. In sensory evaluation, while control, TF75, and TF100 had a higher score in appearance at 5.52~5.60, all samples had no significant differences in flavor, sweetness, savory taste, chewiness, and overall acceptability (p<0.05). These results showed that the gluten-free cookies containing teff flour can improve the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of a cookie. We concluded that gluten-free cookies containing 100% teff flour are desirable.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is a shrub which grows well in a tropical climate. There are large amounts of anthocyanins, organic acids and other compounds in roselle. Mostly, roselle is cultivated to use its red calyx. Its calyx is used as a natural food colorant and commonly consumed as a tea. This quality study was conducted to investigate the characteristics and antioxidant activities of Sulgidduck with roselle calyx powder. Four samples and a control were made with different ratios of added roselle calyx powder (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%). The moisture content of the 0.5%-sample was the highest as 40.60%, and that of the 2%-sample was the lowest as 37.37%. The pH of samples significantly decreased from 6.26 to 3.65 as the amount of roselle calyx powder increased (p<0.05). The L-value of samples also significantly decreased (p<0.05). In contrast, a-value and △E of samples significantly increased with elevated amounts of roselle calyx powder (p<0.05). The b-value of roselle calyx added Sulgidduck samples significantly increased compared to the control (p<0.05). Hardness and chewiness of Sulgidduck samples with added roselle calyx also significantly increased compared to the control (p<0.05). Cohesiveness of Sulgidduck samples with roselle calyx significantly decreased compared to control (p<0.05), with the exception of the 1% sample. There were no significant differences in springiness among samples. Total phenolic contents significantly increased when roselle calyx powder was added above a level of 1.5% (p<0.05). The flavonoid content of the control was the lowest as 0.73. ABTS radical scavenging activity significantly increased with increasing amounts roselle calyx powder (p<0.05). The 2%-sample got the lowest sensory preference scores in sweetness and overall acceptability. In contrast, the control and 1%-sample got the highest sensory preference scores. Based on these study findings, addition of 1% roselle calyx powder optimized the preparation of Sulgidduck and roselle calyx is therefore a useful natural colorant and antioxidant.

본 연구는 케일의 항산화 활성을 평가하고, 기능성 육제품 개발 및 천연 항산화제로의 이용가능성을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 케일을 열풍건조하여 물, 에탄올, 80% 에탄올로 추출한 후 항산화활성을 평 가하였다. 총 페놀성 화합물 함량은 1.14-2.45g/100g의 범위를 보였으며 에탄올 추출물이 물과 80% 에탄올 추출물에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 함량을 보였다. 에탄올과 80% 에탄올 추출물이 물 추출물보다 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능 및 환원력을 보인 반면, 철이온 흡착력에서는 물 추출물이 다른 처리구보다 유의적으로 높은 활성을 보였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 케일 80% 에탄올 추출 분말을 각 농도별 (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0%)로 돈육 패티에 첨가하여 제조하였으며, 14일 동안 4℃에서 냉장저장하며 이화 학적 특성 및 항산화 활성을 평가하였다. pH는 케일 1%를 첨가한 처리구4(TRT 4, 케일 1.0%)에서 가 장 낮은 값을 보였다. 색도에서는 첨가량이 증가할수록 명도 값이 감소하였으며, 케일 0.5%와 1.0%를 첨가한 처리구 3과 처리구 4의 황색도 값이 가장 높았다. 저장기간이 경과할수록 TBA와 POV값은 증가 하였으며, 저장 14일째에 대조구보다 케일을 첨가한 처리구가 낮은 TBA값을 보였으며, 마찬가지로 저 장 14일째에 케일을 첨가한 처리구가 대조구(CTL)보다 유의적으로 낮은 POV를 보였다. 총균수와 대장 균군수는 처리구에 따른 차이가 없었으며, 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 값이 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과 에 따라 케일 80% 에탄올 추출물이 육제품에서 천연 항산화제로의 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
