This research aimed to examine the effects of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) at various concentrations on the microbial safety and physicochemical characteristics of onion puree (0.01~0.1%). The onion puree was kept at 4℃ for 14 days. The results of the study indicated that the addition of GSE did not cause any significant changes in the sample’s brix degree and viscosity in onion puree (p<0.05). However, as the concentration of GSE increased, the pH level decreased. On the other hand, as GSE was added, the lightness of the onion puree increased, while the redness and yellowness decreased. Compared to pure onion puree, the GSE-incorporated onion puree had higher levels of total flavonoid and total polyphenol content, indicating that it helps to maintain antioxidant activities. Based on the microbial safety test, aerobic bacteria, yeast, and mold were absent until day 14 of storage. In conclusion, the study suggests that the addition of GSE to onion puree increases its antioxidant activity and shelf-life.

FT-IR, GC/MS, and ATR-FT-IR analyses were performed to confirm the physicochemical characteristics of saw palmetto fruit (SPF) extract. FT-IR analysis of the standard product showed that the band corresponding to the carbonyl bond of free fatty acid was stronger than the band of acyl-glyceride. Sample E was identified as having the same trend as the standard sample. Fatty acid composition analysis revealed that the main fatty acids in the standard sample were lauric acid and oleic acid. The content of lauric acid ranged from approximately 30% to 38% in samples B, C, D, and E, while the content of oleic acid ranged from approximately 29% to 34%. The GC/MS analysis confirmed that the standard SPF extract consisted of fatty acids and fatty acid ethyl esters. Sample E demonstrated a similar pattern to the standard samples in terms of oleic acid, lauric acid, and fatty acid esters. ATR-FT-IR analysis indicated that only sample E was predicted to contain 100% saw palmetto extract. Therefore, these study findings can be considered fundamental data for analyzing the physicochemical characteristics of the composition of SPF extract.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of the traditional rice cake of Gijeongtteok added with an extract from Cudrania tricuspidate fruit and different amounts of kimchi broth. The pH measurement showed a significant decrease with the increase of the kimchi broth from pH 5.48 (control) to 4.86 (KG180). Hunter color L-values were decreased while redness and yellowness were increased as the amount of kimchi broth increased. Texture profile analysis showed that hardness and adhesiveness significantly increased and decreased as the amount of kimchi broth increased. Gijeongtteok with kimchi broth (KG180) had the lowest specific volume with increased gummy layers in the crumb structure. Sensory evaluation of color, flavor, taste, appearance, and overall acceptance for various levels of kimchi broth showed that the KG140 sample had the highest acceptability. Therefore, this study suggests that Gijeogtteok made with the KG140 mixing ratio has excellent quality and sensory characteristics.

본 연구에서는 대추 열수추출물에 대한 유산균 발효를 통해 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 하여 열수추출물에 L. plantarum 을 접종하여 유산균 발효물을 제조하였으며, 열수추출물과 유산균 발효물의 영양성분 및 항산화능을 비교 ․ 분석하였다. 대추 열수추 출물에 접종한 유산균은 초기 12시간 만에 증가하였으며, 이후 72 시간까지 큰 증감없이 그 수를 유지하여 대추 열수추출물은 유산균 의 생육에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 열수추출물과 유산균 발효물 의 당도, pH 및 총산도를 측정한 결과, 당도는 유산균 발효 여부와 관계없이 열수추출횟수가 증가할수록 높아졌으며, pH는 유산균 발 효 이후 현저히 감소하였고, 총산도는 2차 열수추출물의 발효물에 서만 유의적으로 증가하였다. 2차 열수추출물의 유산균 발효 여부 에 따른 일반영양성분 분석 결과, 모든 성분에서 유의적 차이를 보 이지 않았으며, DPPH 및 ABTS free radical 소거활성능은 유산 균 발효 여부에 관계없이 열수 추출횟수에 비례하여 증가하여 2차 열수추출물과 그의 발효물에서 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 총폴 리페놀 함량 또한 유산균 발효여부에 관계없이 1차 열수추출물에 서 가장 높은 값이 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 대추 열수추출물은 유산균 생육에 전혀 영향을 미치지 않아 유산균 발효물 제조 가능 성을 확인했으며, 또한 항산화능과 총폴리페놀 함량은 열수추출횟 수에 의해 영향을 받는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, 열수추출 물과 유산균 발효물 사이에 일반영양성분 및 항산화능에 큰 차이 는 없었으며, 이는 L. plantarum 단일 균주로만 연구를 진행했기 때문으로 여겨진다. 따라서 추후에 다양한 유산균주를 사용하여 대추 열수추출물의 발효를 시도해 항산화능을 비롯한 다양한 기능 성을 증가시킬 수 있는 유산균주를 탐색할 필요가 있을 것으로 사 료된다.

In this study, Korean Hallabong produced in Jeju Island and coffee were grafted to prepare coffee containing Hallabong extract and the nutritional components were analyzed. As the amount of Hallabong extract increased, the water content and total polyphenol content increased. However, the crude flour, crude protein, and total flavonoid content decreased significantly. The selenium content per 100 g was 91.28 mg in the 1% Hallabong group, and the iron content was 6.84 mg in the 3% Hallabong group. As the content of Hallabong extract in coffee increased, the L-value (brightness) and b-value (yellowness) increased, but the a-value (redness) showed a tendency to decrease. In the case of DPPH(2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, the group containing 9% of Hallabong extract showed the highest value at 47.20 μmol/g of TEAC. In particular, the ABTS(2,2’-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonate)) and DPPH radical scavenging activity were significantly increased from coffee powder containing 6% or more of Hallabong extract(p<0.05). The caffeine content decreased as the amount of Hallabong extract added to coffee increased. Therefore, when making powder coffee with Hallabong extract added, it is recommended to set the content of Hallabong extract to 6%.

The pine bark extract was added during the beer manufacturing process to develop a functional beer using natural plant materials. Pilsner beer was prepared by adding 0-0.125% to the wort. Immediately before fermentation, extracts were added with yeast cultured twice for 48 hr, and fermentation was carried out at 25°C for 5 d and storage was carried out at 2°C for 15 d. In the experiment, pH, reducing sugars, soluble solid contents, specific gravity, alcohol contents, chromaticity, total flavonoids, total polyphenols, DPPH, and yeast number were tested during fermentation and storage to characterize. The pH, reducing sugar, soluble solid contents, specific gravity, and alcohol contents of the six samples were not significantly different during fermentation and storage. However, yeast number, flavonoids, polyphenols, and DPPH were higher at higher pine bark extract contents. L value in chromaticity was the highest in control, and a value and b value were higher as the amount of extract added. In the sensory test, beer with 0.05% pine bark extract showed the best color, sweetness and aroma. Therefore, it was judged that it is desirable to prepare beer by adding 0.05% pine bark extract to pilsner beer.

The objective of this study was to reduce the waste rate of onion peel, which has excellent functionalities, and to promote its industrial utilization. The methodology involved preparing beef jerkies using liquid seasonings with 0% (OPE0), 50% (OPE50) and 100% (OPE100) onion peel extract (OPE) of domestically produced onion, respectively; and assessing their antioxidant activities and quality characteristics. As the amount of added OPE increased, the contents of crude protein and crude ash increased, while those of crude fat decreased. As for color values, increase in the amount of added OPE led to increase in L value and b value, but decrease in a value. The measurement of mechanical texture showed that hardness and cohesiveness decreased as the amount of added OPE increased. TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) content decreased as the amount of added OPE increased. And the amount of added OPE increased, all the antioxidant activity of beef jerky increased. Acceptability test showed the highest preference for OPE50 with regard to flavor, taste texture and overall acceptability. Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) showed that increase in the amount of added OPE led to increase in meat color, salty taste, sweet taste, meat flavor and chewiness and decrease in off-flavor. According to principal component analysis (PCA), OPE50 and OPE100 had high levels of the sensory attributes that increase preference-such as meat color, salty taste, sweet taste, meat flavor and chewiness. Based on such results, it was established that 50% is the optimal mixing ratio of OPE for preparing a beef jerky of high preference that also has excellent quality characteristics and antioxidant activity.

This study examined the quality characteristics and anti-oral microbial activity of bamboo leaf jelly prepared with different 5 levels (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%) of bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis) leaf extract. The sugar contents of bamboo leaf jelly were increased significantly by increasing the level of bamboo leaf extract. The luminance and Hunter’s a values of the jelly samples increased with increasing bamboo leaf extract, but the 40% bamboo leaf jelly had the lowest Hunter’s b values. The hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness increased significantly with increasing bamboo leaf extract. Among the mechanical properties, only the flavor of the jelly with 30 and 40% bamboo leaf extract were increased significantly. The extract of bamboo leaves had strong antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, S. sobriuns, P. gingivalis, and P. intermedia at a concentration of 40%. These results suggest that bamboo leaf extract can be useful in the production of high quality jelly.

Vinegar is a widely used acidic seasoning and can be manufactured using a variety of methods and basic materials such as grains, wheat, and fruits. It was produced through an acetic acid fermentation process carried out by acetic acid bacteria. These bacteria not only produce a variety of metabolic compounds but also alter the acidity and flavor of the product. Some vinegar also contains antioxidants, antineoplastic compounds, and other bio-metabolites, which can have a beneficial effect on health. This study was conducted to investigate the quality of fermentation black rice vinegar produced by fermented Omija (Schizandra chinensis Bail.) extract for improving vinegar’s preference. The total polyphenol content and DPPH scavenging activity of the vinegar created with fermented Omija extract were 317.5 ㎍/㎖ and 84.6%, respectively. But, the vinegar without Omija extract was 239.3 ㎍/㎖ and 72.5%, respectively. Glucose content of the vinegar added with the extract was 3.55∼4.17%, fructose content was 2.23∼2.71%, citric acid content was 4.23∼5.38% and malic acid content was 0.27∼0.62%. Glucose, fructose, citric acid and malic acid contents of the black rice vinegar added with the extract were higher than those of the vinegar without the Omija extract. The content of essential free amino acids in the vinegar added with the extract was 32.8∼42.7 mg% and GABA content was 0.45∼1.72 mg%. The vinegar with the fermented extract showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia. coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This study was conducted to develop a salad dressing using Prunella vulgaris L. (PV) extracts. In addition, the study was also aimed at evaluating the quality characteristics of the salad dressing containing various amounts of PV extracts. Salad dressing was prepared by adding 0% (PD-0), 9.4% (PD-20), 18.8% (PD-40), 28.2% (PD-60), 37.6% (PD-80), 47.0% (PD-100) of PV extract. The quality characteristics (sugar contents, salinity, color value, total phenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH, ABTS+ radical scavenging activities, and sensory acceptability) of the dressing were analyzed. According to the results of the study, the sugar contents and salinity of salad dressing increased according to the added amount of PV extract (p<0.001). The color values of lightness and yellowness of salad dressing increased according to the added amount of PV extract, whereas color value of redness decreased (p<0.001). Antioxidant activities were improved depending on the amount of PV extracts (p<0.001). The sensory acceptability (flavor, medicinal flavor, saltiness, sourness, bitterness and viscosity) were significantly higher in the dressing added with 18.8% PV extracts than in the other samples. Based on this result, a storage experiment was conducted by comparing PD-40 and PD-C. After 4 weeks of storage at 4℃ and 24℃, the quality characteristics were observed and the pH was increased in the later stages of storage (p<0.05). The depicted that, viscosity increased with storage time at 4℃ (p<0.001). General bacteria and coliform were not detected during storage. These results indicated that salad dressing with the addition of 18.8% PV extracts has the best quality.

This study examined the quality characteristics of waffles made with coconut extract. Waffles were prepared with the substitution of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of coconut extract. The viscosity of the batter tended to increase with increasing ratio of coconut extract, whereas the spreadability measures were not changed significantly. The baking loss rates tended to increase with increasing ratio of coconut extract while the moisture contents were not changed significantly. The L-value and b-value decreased but the a-value increased. TPA showed that the hardness, springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess tend to increase with increasing amount of coconut extract while the resilience was not changed significantly. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that waffles made with 100% coconut extract were the most preferable in appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng, including color, pH, total polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activities, with the addition of aged garlic extract (0, 3, 6, 9 or 12%), aged at low temperatures. Among the color characteristics, the lightness value decreased, and the redness and yellowness values increased, proportional to the amount of garlic extract concentrate added to Yanggaeng. The pH of Yanggaeng significantly (p<0.05) decreased according to the amount of aged garlic extract added. Total phenol contents of control (0% aged garlic extract added Yanggaeng) was the lowest, followed by 3, 6, 9, 12% aged garlic extract added to Yanggaeng (88.15, 118.39, 156.91, 208.79 mg/g, respectively). Antioxidant activities, such as DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, significantly increased with increase in the aged garlic extract concentration. In the sensory evaluation for Yanggaeng, 6% aged garlic extract added to Yanggaeng had the highest score in taste, flavor, and overall acceptance. Based on these results, it is suggest that the addition of 6% aged garlic extract to Yanggaeng can be developed as a product for the elderly.

To develop and industrialize functional foods containing peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), the present study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of breads prepared with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% PSE and PSP. The expansion ratio of the dough, the quality characteristics such as volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss, color, texture, and sensory preference were evaluated. There were significant differences in the bread volume and specific volume among the control, PSE and PSP groups (p<0.001). Additionally, the weight and baking loss were decreased with an increasing amount of PSP (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP were increased, the L value of the crumb decreased, whereas the a and b values of the crumb significantly increased (p<0.001), suggesting that the crumb color of the bread may be significancy (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the hardness of bread significantly and rapidly increased from 5%. Meanwhile, there was no significance in springiness among the control, PSE and PSP groups. The total resveratrol content and DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of the bread significantly increased depending on the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001). In the overall acceptance test, no significant differences were observed in the color, flavour, or texture, however, the taste and overall acceptance were significantly decreased between the control and the PSE group. All the sensory characteristics in the PSP group were significantly reduced compared with the control. Considering the above results, it can be expected that the suitable amount of PSE and PSP substituted for wheat flour will be from 1.0 to 2.5%. Furthermore, follow-up studies are being carried out continuously.

최근 식품에 첨가하는 합성 항산화제가 생체효소의 활성을 억제하고, 암을 유발시키는 등의 안정성에 문제가 되는 것으로 보고되면서 천연 식물자원으로부터의 항산화 물질을 개발하고자 하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 느릅나무의 껍질인 유근피는 항산화 효과가 매우 우수한 것으로 보고되고 있어서, 천연 항산화제로 유근피 에탄올 추출물을 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2%로 약과에 첨가하여 합성 항산화제인 BHT와 천연 항산화제인 L-ascorbic acid를 0.02%로 첨가한 약과와 저장기간에 따른 품질특성과 지질산패 정도를 비교하였다. 유근피의 첨가량이 증가할수록 산패취와 경도는 감소하였고, 반면에 수분활성도, 팽화도, 관능평가 등은 증가하였다. 특히 유근피를 첨가함에 따라 약과의 명도가 감소한 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 약과의 메일라드 반응에 의한 갈색물질인 멜라노이딘류의 생성 때문으로 추정된다. 또한 약과의 저장 기간이 증가함에 따라서 경도, 색도, 산패취 등이 증가하였고, 반면에 수분활성도와 팽화도, 색, 맛, 조직감, 전반적인 기호도 등의 관능적 특성은 감소하였다. 유근피가 약과의 저장성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해서 산가와 과산화물가를 측정하여 실험한 결과, 유근피를 첨가한 약과는 첨가하지 않은 약과에 비해서 지질산화가 적게 일어나, 약과의 저장성을 증가시켜 주는 것으로 나타났다. 관능적인 특성을 비롯한 품질특성과 지질산패 정도를 평가한 결과, 유근피 추출물을 0.1% 첨가한 약과가 가장 좋을 것으로 평가되었다.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles as well as their cooking properties following the addition of peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), which are known to contain a significant level of resveratrol. Wet noodles were prepared with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% PSE and PSP. Quality characteristics such as increasing volume of noodle, water ratio, turbidity of cooking water and color, texture, and sensory evaluation were then assessed. Additionally, the total resveratrol content in the cooked noodles was analyzed by HPLC and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the L value of wet and cooked noodles significantly decreased, whereas the a and b values increased (p<0.001). The L value of cooked noodles was significantly lower compared to wet noodles (p<0.001) whereas the a and b values were higher. For the cutting intensity properties of the cooked noodles, hardness was reduced with increasing amounts of PSE (p<0.001), and was significantly increased in proportion to the amount of PSP (p<0.05). Meanwhile, springiness was not significantly different in all groups. Total resveratrol content and free radical scavenging activity significantly increased in proportion to the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001), especially in noodles containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% PSE and PSP. Finally, sensory evaluation of PSE noodle revealed that color, flavour, taste were significantly decreased (p<0.05). But there was no difference in overall acceptance among cooked noodles with 2.5% to 5% PSE comparison to the control. Sensory characteristics in the PSP noodle showed similar results. In conclusion, these findings suggest that peanut sprout extract and powder could be potentially used as functional food ingredients. In addition, up to 5% PSE and PSP can be substituted for wheat flour.
