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 characteristics of extracts and precipitates after extraction at different water temperature (25, 50, 75, 95oC), ethanol ratio (25, 50, 75, 100%), and extraction method (stir, soak, autoclave) of yam powder and raw yam were investigated. The total polyphenol content was the highest in the 50% ethanol extract of yam powder. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the 75% ethanol extraction and the crude saponin content was the highest in the 95oC water extraction. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was the highest in 95oC water extraction, low concentration of ethanol extraction, and autoclave extraction. The peak viscosity, trough, and final viscosity of the precipitates increased after ethanol extraction, whereas decreased after the 95oC water extraction and the autoclave, indicating the destruction of starch granules. This was confirmed by observing the starch granules broken using the SEM. The significance of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of yam resources as a material, processing product development, skin beauty functional food and cosmetic material.

이온성 액체를 이용하여 질산 용액으로부터 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 거동을 조사하고 이온성 액체의 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 이온성 액체로는 1-alkyl-3- methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cnmim][Tf2N])을 사용하였고, noctyl( phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl carbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPO)와 tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP)를 추출제로 사용하여, Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 분배계수를 질산농도, CMPO, TBP와 같은 변수들의 함수로서 측정하였다. 이온성 액체를 사용함으로써 기존의 n-doodecane (n-DD)과 비교하여 추출 효율이 현저히 증가하였다. 질산 용액의 농도가 높을수록 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출률은 감소하였으며, Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출률은 Am(Ⅲ)보다 전반적으로 작았다. 이온성 액체를 이용한 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 메카니즘은 n-DD와 같은 분자성 유기용매를 사용하는 경우와는 달리 양이온 교환 메카니즘에 의해 일어나는 것으로 판명되었다. 사용한 모든 이온성 액체에 대하여 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 분배계수는 CMPO의 농도가 높을수록 증가 하고, CMPO 농도에 대한 추출 데이터의 직선 기울기 값은 약 3.0으로 이온성 액체를 이용한 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출반응에서 3분자의 CMPO가 복합착물을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effects of temperature, solvent concentration, and pH on the β-glucan extraction. Oat bran β-glucan was extracted with different extraction conditions, using various combinations of experiment factors, such as temperature (40, 45, 50, 55, and 60℃), ethanol concentration (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%), and pH (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Under the various extraction conditions, β-glucan extraction rate and overall mass transfer coefficient of oat bran β-glucan, and viscosity of oat bran extracts were investigated. As increasing the extraction time, the extraction rate of β-glucan increased. The overall mass transfer coefficient of β-glucan ranged from 3.36×10^-6 to 8.55×10^-6 ㎝/min, indicating the lowest at the extraction condition of 45℃, 15% and pH 8, and the highest at 50℃, 0% and pH 7. It was significantly greater with increasing extraction temperature and decreasing ethanol concentrations of extraction solvent, except for solvent pH. There were positive correlations among the overall mass transfer coefficient, the extraction rate of β-glucan, and the viscosity of extract.

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.

Even though plum is well known as a health food, the available processed food of it is quite limited. Furthermore it is difficult to find an easy processing method for leading to a value added product at farmhouse. This study was investigated to effects of temperature for plum extract juice by osmosis of yellow sugar. The plum was mixed with yellow sugar at equal ratio(w/w) to obtain yellowish extracted plum juice and then located in incubator at 15, 25, 35, respectively. The sugar content of extract was high at the early period but decreased throughout extraction period and it was about 66.1~67.4Brix. The color difference was increased yellowish throughout the extract period. The pH of it was decreased throughout extract processing but citric acid content was increased. The speed of extraction during extraction processing was more rapid at 15 than 3. However sensory evaluation score of taste and flavour was obtained at 15 than 3, so the prefer temperature for plum extract juice by osmosis of yellowish sugar was 15~2
