Physicochemical characteristics and consumer acceptance of puddings fortified with and extracts.

The objectives of the study were to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of puddings fortified with 0.01% mandarin melon berry () and 0%-1.0% aronia () extracts and to assess the effects of the fortification on consumer acceptance.

Comparison of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of fermented soybean-based red pepper paste, , prepared with five different red pepper ( L.) varieties.

The purposes of this study were to identify physicochemical properties and evaluate bioactive compound levels and antioxidant characteristics at 30 day intervals during the 90 days of fermentation of fortified with five different varieties of red pepper: Juktoma pepper (RP1), facing heaven pepper (RP2), Thai chili pepper (RP3), bird's eye pepper (RP4), and red bell pepper (RP5). Physicochemicals properties, including reducing sugar, capsaicin, pH, β-carotene, and color parameters, of were evaluated. Antioxidant compounds of total polyphenols and total flavonoids were analyzed with antioxidant activities of DPPH and FRAP assays.

Physicochemical and antioxidant properties of black garlic.

Black garlic (BG) is a processed garlic product prepared by heat treatment of whole garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.) at high temperature under high humidity for several days, resulting in black cloves with a sweet taste. BG has recently been introduced to the Korean market as a product beneficial to health.

Gomisin A decreases the LPS-induced expression of iNOS and COX-2 and activation of RIP2/NF-κB in mouse peritoneal macrophages.

Gomisin A (GA), a lignan component contained in the fruit of Schisandra chinensis Baillon, improves hepatic cell degeneration, vasodilatory activity and insulin sensitivity. These effects also impact the immune system, including various inflammatory mediators and cytokines. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of GA on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages was studied.

T-type Ca2+ channel blocker, KYS05047 induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest by decreasing intracellular Ca2+ levels in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.

In a previous study, we found that the 3,4-dihydroquinazoline derivative, 4-(Benzylcarbamoylmethyl)-2-(biphenyl-4-ylamino)-3-(5-tert-butyloxycarbamoyl-1-pentyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazoline (KYS05047), was a selective T-type Ca(2+) channel blocker with anti-proliferative effects against various cancer cells. However, the mechanism responsible for its effects has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of KYS05047 on cell cycle arrest and the mechanisms involved in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.

Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, yakju, enriched with mulberry.

Unlabelled: Mulberry fruits (Morus alba L.), rich in health beneficial compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyananis, have traditionally been used as nutritional foodstuffs and fork medicines. In this study, physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage ``yakju'' enriched with mulberry were evaluated.
