Cassia tora seed was processed by germination and roasting to develop a germinated Cassia tora tea. The effects of extraction temperature on antioxidative compounds in tea extracts were examined and compared to four different commercial Cassia tora tea products. The contents of antioxidative compounds, such as phenolics, flavonoids, and β-carotene, increased as the extraction temperature increased (5 to 80oC), subsequently increasing in vitro antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities). Germinated Cassia tora tea had higher antioxidative activity than selected commercial Cassia tora teas, and the difference was significant at low extraction temperature. Therefore, the germinated Cassia tora tea could contribute to a new type of tea product with enhanced bioactive and antioxidative activities by adopting appropriate processing and extraction conditions.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of roasting temperature on the quality characteristics and biological activity of quinoa. Quinoa was roasted at 160, 200, and 220oC for 20 min. The lightness (L*) of quinoa decreased, however, the redness (a*) increased as the roasting temperature increased. The yellowness (b*) was the highest at 160oC and decreased at 200 and 220oC. The highest contents of total polyphenol, flavonoid, and quercetin were observed at 220oC, the highest roasting temperature. The highest radical scavenging activities of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (73.65%) and α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (47.82%) were found in roasted quinoa at 220oC. The α- glucosidase activity was inhibited by 62.13% at this temperature. The roasted quinoa at 220oC also showed a significant cytoprotective effect against oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. These results could be useful in the development of food products using quinoa.

This study was conducted to explore the potential of Pungsannamul-kong, which did not germinate from soybean to bean sprouts and was discarded, and to find out the changes in composition and bioactivity during roasting treatment. The functional effectiveness of isoflavone contents, as well as their antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities, were analyzed with Pungsannamul-kong roasted at various temperatures: 100oC (RoJP100), 120oC (RoJP120), 140oC (RoJP140), 160oC (RoJP160), and 180oC (RoJP180). The aglycone content of isoflavones was the highest (87.58 μg/g) in RoJP180 and was correlated with the increase of genistein. As the roasting temperature rose, total polyphenol content increased to 410.32 μg GAE/mg, flavonoid content to 56.04 μg QE/mg, DPPH radical scavenging activity to 76.59%, ABTS radical scavenging activity to 51.97%, and SOD-like activity to 52.63%. NO production was significantly suppressed in 500 μg/mL of all the roasted Pungsannamul-kong groups (p<0.05). TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expressions were suppressed in a concentrationdependent manner as the roasting temperature increased. Western blotting also showed that iNOS and COX-2 expression were suppressed after roasting at 180oC, confirming an anti-inflammatory effect. This study concluded that non-germinated soybeans were still valuable in terms of nutritional and functional properties. Moreover, roasting treatment increased the isoflavone content and improved physiological bioactivities such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

본 연구에서는 느타리(Pleurotus ostreatus)와 표고(Lentinula edodes) 버섯차 개발을 위하여 귀리(oat)와 현미(brown rice)를 부재료로 사용함으로서 버섯 특유의 향미를 저감시킴과 동시에 곡물류 특유의 고소함과 영양학적 가치 향상을 기대하였다. 이에 버섯시료의 가공방법 중 열풍건조 및 로스팅 처리에 의한 생리활성 및 영양성 분의 변화를 분석한 결과, 느타리와 표고의 열풍건조 및 로스팅 시료 사이의 DPPH 라디컬 소거능과 아질산염소 거능의 차이는 크게 없었으나, 총 폴리페놀 함량과 베타글루칸 함량은 로스팅 처리에 의하여 함량치가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 로스팅 처리된 귀리와 현미의 생리활성과 영양성분을 비교한 결과, 귀리의 DPPH 라디컬 소거능 및 베타글루칸 함량은 현미에 비하여 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 귀리는 높은 글루탐산(Glu) 성분 등을 포함하여 모든 아미노산 성분이 현미보다 높게 나타났다. 로스팅 버섯 시료와 부재료의 혼합비율별 추출온도 및 추출 시간 조건에 따른 생리활성 분석결과, DPPH 라디컬 소거 능은 로스팅 표고와 귀리 1:1 혼합물(LE+O)의 100 ̊C, 3분 추출조건에서 33.5%로 가장 높았으며, 아질산염소거 능은 느타리와 현미 3:1 혼합물(PO+B)의 100 ̊C, 10분 추 출조건에서 49.9%로 가장 높은 소거활성을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 70℃의 10분 추출시간 조건에서 느타리와 현미 3:1 혼합추출물(PO+B)의 함량치가 16.2 mg GAE/g 로 가장 높았으며, 베타글루칸 함량은 표고와 현미 (LE+B) 3:1 혼합물에서 34.4%로 다른 혼합비율의 함량치에 비하여 높았다. 아미노산 분석결과, 느타리와 현미 혼 합물(PO+B) 중 1:1 혼합비율에서 필수 아미노산 성분함량이 다른 혼합비율에 비하여 높았으며, 표고와 현미 (LE+B) 혼합물 3:1의 비율에서 필수아미노산 성분 함량이 가장 높았다. 아미노산 성분 중 단맛과 감칠맛을 나타내는 성분함량이 월등히 높았던 귀리를 혼합함에 따른 느타리, 표고와 귀리 혼합물에서의 아미노산 성분함량의 상승효과는 나타나지 않았다.

본 연구는 건조버섯 분말을 이용하여 다양한 가공제품에 혼합 가공하기 위하여 국내에서 소비도 및 인지도가 높은 식용버섯인 느타리, 큰느타리, 노루궁뎅이를 대상으로 로스팅 처리 후 건조분말 버섯시료의 생리활성과 영양 성분의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 가정용 멀티오븐(HR)을 이용하여 로스팅 시간별로 생리활성 성분의 변화를 분석한 결과 생버섯(fresh) 시료에 비하여 소거활성과 함량치가 낮아지거나 비슷였으나, 회전드럼식 로스팅(CR) 처리 후 아질산염소거능은 큰느타리와 노루궁뎅이의 로스팅 시료에서 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 노루궁뎅이 로스팅 시료가 생버섯 (fresh) 시료에 비하여 크게 증가하였다. 가정용 멀티 오븐 60분 로스팅 처리(HR60) 및 회전드럼식 로스팅 처리(CR) 후 각 건조시료의 아미노산 성분 분석한 결과, 느타리의 경우 회전드럼식 로스팅 처리로 인하여 감칠맛을 내는 성분과 단맛을 내는 성분이 증가하였고, 반대로 쓴맛을 내는 성분은 생버섯(fresh)에 비하여 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 큰느타리는 감칠맛과 단맛을 내는 성분이 로스팅 처리 후 증가하였으나, 쓴맛을 내는 성분들도 로스팅 처리로 인하여 동시에 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 노루궁뎅이는 단맛을 내는 성분은 회전드럼식 로스팅(CR) 처리 후 증가하였고 동시에 쓴맛을 내는 성분도 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같은 결과로부터 전반적으로 수분함량이 많은 버섯은 초기 건조 후 여분의 수분을 증발시키며 로스팅하는 방법이 가정용 멀티오븐에 비하여 생리활성 성분의 증가에 효과적이었으며 아미노산의 단맛과 감칠맛을 증대시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 더 다양한 식용버섯 및 버섯과 혼합 가능한 첨가물들에 대한 검토가 이루어져야하며, 이들 단독으로 또는 혼합하여 로스팅한 후의 생리활성 및 영양성분의 변화에 대한 연구를 진행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we aimed to develop a mixed tea prepared with roasted mulberry leaf and fruit using response surface methodology (RSM). Roasting of mulberry leaf was by 6 stages, as shown in Fig. 1; and mulberry fruit was roasted in 4 stages, as shown in Fig. 2. Subsequently, physicochemical measurements such as total polyphenol content, nitric oxide production content, and α-glucosidase inhibitory effect were obtained for each sample. Central composite design was applied to prepare samples containing varying contents of roasted mulberry leaf (RoML) and roasted mulberry fruit (RoMF); subsequently, sensory evaluation was conducted. The total polyphenol content of roasted samples (RoML and RoMF) were significantly higher than that of raw samples (RaML and RaMF), respectively. The nitric oxide (NO) production of roasted samples were significantly lower than that of control (LPS induced RAW 264.7 cell). The α-glucosidase inhibitory effect of roasted samples was significantly higher than that of raw samples, respectively. Based on the RSM estimation for determination of optimum ratio by sensory evaluation (taste, color, and flavor) among 13 mixed samples, the optimum mixing ratio of RoML and RoMF for taste, color, and flavor were 1.64 g (RoML) and 0.88 g (RoMF), 1.35 g (RoML) and 0.92 g (RoMF), 1.65 g (RoML) 1.03 g (RoMF), respectively. Based on results of three sensory evaluations, mixing ratio comprising 1.54 g of RoML and 0.92 g of RoMF is desirable for delicious tea with functionality.

This study was performed to develop and evaluate beverage prepared with optimally roasted seoritae to maximize the isoflavone content and antioxidant activities of the beverage. Isoflavone content was maximized at the roasting temperature of 110℃ for 20 min. Both DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity along with total polyphenol content were highest when seoritae was roasted at 110℃ for 20 min. Western blotting was used to determine the level of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1(NFATc1) involved in controlling osteoclast differentiation. The results showed that NFATc1 had a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect when the RoS110 (roasted seoritae at 110℃ for 20 min) samples were processed at varying concentrations (10, 50, and 100 μg/mL). Tea samples were prepared from optimally roasted seoritae by varying brewing times (5~90 min) at 65℃, and tea brewed for 60 min had the highest preference with 65℃ as the preferred temperature for drinking.

한방차의 roasting 온도를 80∼140℃ 범위로 하여 성분 변화를 분석한 결과, 온도의 상승에 따라 수분함량이 감소하고 일부 탄화가 발생하며 조 회분 함량이 소폭 상승하였고, 조 지방 및 조단백질 함량은 소폭 감소하였다. 한방차의 고형분 용출율은 0.15~0.32%(w/w)를 나타내었는데, roasting 온도가 상승할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 처리온도가 80∼110℃구간에서는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않은 반면 110∼140℃구간에서는 고형분 용출율이 급격히 감소하였다. 온도가 상승할수록 용출율이 감소하는 것은 내부 조직이 치밀하여 상대적으로 용출이 어렵기 때문이다. 벤조피렌 함량은 0.29~0.51ppb으로 온도가 높을수록 B(α)P함량이 증가하였다. 처리온도와 원재료에 따라 B(α)P 함량에 차이가 발생하며, 내부온도는 약 200℃정도지만 roaster 표면의 실제 온도는 약 2000℃에 이르는데 표면과 접촉한 부분에서 B(α)P가 생성된다. B(α)P는 주로 음식을 조리, 가공할 때 식품의 주성분인 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방 등이 열분해 되어 생성되는 것으로 생각된다.

This study was investigated the optimal time that enhanced the functional activities of mung beans for use of functional food resources. Mung beans were roasted according three levels of roasting time levels (10, 20 and 30 minutes) at 110℃ and then the physicochemical compositions were determined. The reducing sugar content was decreased with the increased roasting time. Moisture was decreased with increased roasting time, whereas, crude fat, crude ash, crude protein and carbohydrate were increased with prolonged roasting time. The highest contents of total phenol and flavonoid were shown at a roasting condition 110℃ for 30 minutes. The highest inhibitory activities of DPPH radical, ABTS radical and xanthine oxidase was the best at the condition of 110℃ for 30 min. From these results optimal roasting time of mung beans were 30 minutes for use of functional food resources.

In this study, the physicochemical properties of aromatic rice prepared using different milling recoveries and roasting procedures were investigated. As a result, we found that the L value of different milling recoveries of aromatic rice (BA-1, BA-2, BA-4, and BA-6) increased as the aromatic rice (BA-0) decreased, while the a and b values decreased as the different milling recoveries increased. The major contributors to the different milling recoveries of aromatic rice were total polyphenol (28.11-33.84 mg/100 g), amylose (24.97-31.06 mg/100 g), total starch (68.27-73.04%) content. In addition, three different roasting methods were applied; the aromatic rice was roasted at 250℃ for 0 min (BAR-0M), 15 min (BAR-15M), or 30 min (BAR-30M). As a result, the color in terms of the L value decreased, whereas the a and b values increased. Also, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in BAR-30M (41.65 mg/100 g and 22.30 mg/100 g, respectively) were higher than those in BAR-0M (33.00 mg/100 g and 20.78 mg/100 g, respectively). Similarly, the amylose and total starch contents in BAR-30M (26.10 g/100 g and 81.81%, respectively) were higher than those in BAR-0M (22.10 g/100 g and 74.26%, respectively). Furthermore, the DPPH, superoxide radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant potential of BAR-0M at 5,000 μg/mL were found to be 67.78%, 52.90%, and 0.79 mM, respectively. Based on these results, we can conclude that in order to provide the best physicochemical characteristics of aromatic rice, it should be manufactured in the following conditions: 20% milling recovery of the aromatic rice and roasting at 250℃ for 30 min.

We evaluated the antioxidative activity of extracts of P. lobata root depending on roasting conditions. P. lobata roots were roasted at three different temperature at 150℃, 200℃, and 250℃ and three different time at 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min respectively. Roasted P. lobata root was extracted using water at 85℃ for 6 h and filtered using filter paper, followed by then evaporated (12±0.3 °Brix) and freeze-dried. The concentration of maker compound puerarin was determined using a high performance liquid chromatography system. 2 phenolic compounds, flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activities of the extract powder were evaluated. Puerarin contents, Phenolic compounds, and flavonoid contents of roasted P. lobata root were higher than those of unroasted P. lobata root. The results of DPPH and ABTS showed that roasted P. lobata root possessed higher antioxidant activity than unroasted P. lobata root. This study suggested that roasting process could be applied to P. lobata root in order to achieve its high quality and functionality.

Background: We investigated the optimal aqueous extraction conditions for recovery of high yields of total phenolic compounds from roots of Arctium lappa L. (burdock, Asteraceae), and we compared their antioxidant capacity.Methods and Results: The antioxidant activity of the extracts was tested using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-diammonium salt, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays. In addition, the major phenolic compounds present in the extracts were determined by high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Our results suggest that the roasted burdock 100°C, 15 min extract exhibited the strongest radical scavenging activity and possessed the highest concentration of phenolic compounds. The polyphenol content of both dried burdock and roasted burdock significantly increased with increase in the extraction temperature and time.Conclusions: These results indicated a relationship between phenolic compound levels in burdock and their free radical scavenging activities. This suggests that phenolic compounds significantly increase the antioxidant potential of burdock extracts.
