The global pet market is continuously growing as the number of single-person households increases along with the preponderance of the nuclear family, so pet-related industries are steadily growing. In addition, the market related to the health of companion animals is also increasing significantly. Regarding the health of companion animals, it is reported that the incidence of adult diseases, like humans, is growing mainly due to activities in indoor environments and the lack of exercise due to the lack of time for companion animals. This paper studies the antioxidant properties of Jerusalem Artichoke extract, which can be used as a raw material for functional foods related to adult diseases in companion animals by using substances extracted from Jerusalem Artichokes grown by the first author. Samples to be tested were extracted from hot water extraction and ethanol extraction methods according to conditions. To confirm the antioxidant properties, absorbance analysis, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis, polyphenol measurement, flavonoid measurement, and radical scavenging ability measurement by DPPH were performed to determine whether the raw materials applied in this paper could be used. It was confirmed that Jerusalem Artichoke extract is a suitable additive raw material for functional pet food.

E171, a mixture of titanium dioxide, has been widely used as a food additive due to its whitening effect and low toxicity. However, it has been proven that E171 is no longer safe for public health. So far, there are insufficient studies on the toxic effects of E171 on organisms especially using standardized test methods. In this study, toxicity assessments of E171 to two aquatic species, water flea (Daphnia magna) and zebrafish (Danio rerio), were performed using modified standardized test methods based on the physicochemical properties of E171. The hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity index, and turbiscan stability index (TSI) were measured to ensure the dispersion stability of E171 in exposure media during the test period. The EC50 for immobilization of water flea was 141.7 mg L-1 while zebrafish was not affected until 100 mg L-1 of E171. Measurements of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzyme activities confirmed that E171 induced oxidative stress, leading to the activation of superoxide dismutase and catalase in both water flea and zebrafish, although the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes differed between species. These results suggested the potential risk of E171 to aquatic organisms and provided toxicological insights into the impacts of E171 on the environment.

he purpose of this study is to offer youth with the basic materials for developing nutrition education programs and to help domestic science teachers in schools implement effective dietary education by examining their awareness of food additives. In the source of acquiring knowledges on food additives, the results were through mass media, technology and home economics teachers, and family members in order. The majority of students thought that they don't need the education about food additives. As effective teaching methods, they first selected the use of visual media, followed by experimental cooking classes, field trip, and inquiry lessons using processed foods. As a result of analyzing the education on food additives in accordance with demographic factors, more number of female students, compared to male students depicted the need for education on food additives. Further, the lower the cost students spend on purchasing processed foods per day, the higher the necessity of the education they indicate. The necessity of education content on food additives showed significant difference depending on the cost of buying processed foods, and the degree of interest and help real-life according to gender indicated significant differences. The satisfaction with education on food additives, which was implemented in home economics education revealed significant differences according to gender. This study aims to provide the basic data for the development and research of educational programs regarding good eating habits among the general youth. However, there are limitations to the presentation of the practical training program. For this reason, based on the results of this study, further studies should follow this study in order to develop and study educational programs related to food additives for teaching and learning purposes.

A study for the dangerous properties measurment of dust explosion was attended by the various dust concentration on Anthraquinone, Sodiumbenzoic acid, Corn starch, soy sauce powder, and cheese powder. As the result, maximum explosion pressure, the maximum rate of pressure rise, autoigntion temperature, and the water content of dust on lower limit explosion concentration was obtained as follows 1. The lower limit explosion concentration on soy sauce powder with the humidity of 65 to 90% increased by increasing the con tent of moisture, and the effect of dry air and moisture air decreased better in make of dry air. 2. The effect of a various dust concentration on autoigntion temperatures is investigated, If the vessel of dust explosion is small size and the easiness of autoignition was controled by air within the vessel, because it was better decreased air with increasing of dust concentration 3. The maximum explosion pressures of Anthraguinone, sodiumbenzoic acid, com starch, soy sauce powder, and cheese powder were 1.0g/l, 1.0g/l, 1.5g/l, 1.5g/l, and 1.5g/l, respectively, and the maximum rate of pressure rise were 0.5g/l, 0.5g/l, 1.0g/l, 1.0g/l, and 1.0g/l, respectively.

Background : Currently, obesity and adult diseases as a result of sugar intake have been a consistent problem in Korea. Natural sweeteners as sugar substitutes have many advantages over sugar as a small quantity. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate possibility of industrialization as food additives by using the nature sweetness components of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Method and Results : Stevia was cultivated in a plastic house. The leaves and stems were harvested at October. They were ground into fine powder using a mill, and were extracted by high temperature and pression extraction method. The extracts were evaporated under vacuum and lyophilized. Three strawberry cultivars of ‘Seolhyang’, ‘Maehyang’, and ‘F22-196’ were cultivated in a plastic house and were harvested from March to May. The fruits harvested were stored at 50℃ until processing. In order to test the processing suitability of stevia extract, the characteristics of the three strawberry varieties (line) were investigated. As a result, the ‘F22-196’ line, which was bred as a processing strawberry, generally contained more antioxidant materials and activity than those of ‘Maehyang’ and ‘Seolhyang’ varieties. Comparing the sugar contents which affects the quality of strawberry jam, the average sugar contents of ‘F22-196’ line was higher than 'Maehyang' and 'Seolhyang' varieties. In the preparation of strawberry jam using ‘F22-196’, strawberry jam was prepared by adding only sugar or stevia extract powder, which was 1/100 of the amount of the sugar in only sugar strawberry jam, to the sensory test. As a result, we identified that sugar jam and stevia jam added stevia extract showed 50 : 50 at the sensory test and stevia jam does not make a difference to the marketing jam at the point of view of general consumers. Conclusion : ‘F22-196’ line represented the best quality for strawberry jam in test caltivars. Stevia powder is judged to be used as a sweetener of sugar substitutes in the production of strawberry jam and processing food.

뽕나무 오디함유 천연색소 C3G의 식용색소화 및 안정생산을 위한 최적 전처리 조건은 0.1 % citric acid-70% EtOH로서 오디로부터 제조한 순수 오디색소 분말의 수율은 8%이었다. 실제 농가에서 오디 색소 추출시 추출 시간 및 제조 비용을 대폭 절감할 수 있는 추출 방법을 개발하였다. 오디색소 추출시 품종의 선택이 중요하므로 C3G 함량이 높은 품종을 선택하도록 해야 할 것이다. 오디 색소 분말은 알코올, 물 및 밀가루 등 식품 재료나 가공방법에 상관없이 적색소의 특성이 유지되므로 다양한 식품에 적용하여 고부가가치를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

부패는 콩나물 재배에서 극복하여야 할 문제중의 하나이다. 본 연구는 콩나물 재배에서 부패완화용으로 식품첨가물의 이용 가능성을 검토하고자 은하콩, 풍산나물콩 및 오리알태를 공시품종으로 식품첨가물의 종류(acetic acid, propionic acid)와 농도(0, 0.1, 0.2%)가 콩나물의 생장과 형태, 병반 형성, 처리비용에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 상품화가 가능한 하배축 길이가 4cm 이상의 비율은 오리알태에서 가장 높고 은하콩에서 가장 낮았고, 식품첨가물 종류간에는 차이가 없었던 반면, 처리농도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 2. 하배축은 은하콩과 오리알태에 비하여 풍산나물콩에서 길었으며, 하배축 중간부분은 풍산나물콩과 오리알태에 비하여 은하콩에서 굵었다. 그러나 이들 하배축 길이와 직경은 식품첨가물 종류와 처리농도간에는 차이가 없었다. 3. 생산수율과 관련된 개체당 전체 생체중은 은하콩과 풍산나물콩에 비하여 오리알태에서 많았던 반면, 식품첨가물 종류와 처리농도간에는 차이가 없었다. 4. 자엽에 형성된 병반수는 식품첨가물 종류간에는 차이가 없었던 반면, 이들을 처리하지 않는 것보다는 처리할 경우 감소하였다. 5. 처리비용을 고려할 경우 acetic acid보다는 propionic acid를 이용하여 종자소독을 실시하는 것이 경제적인 것으로 분석되었다.
