The objectives of this study are to establish efficient pretreatment concentration and rehydration process for the production of the high quality of freeze-dried Mook, a traditional gel food in Korea, as an instant food. Effect of immersion in sucrose solution as pretreatment before freeze-drying on the rehydration efficiency and quality characteristics was studied. The rehydration efficiency of non-treated Mook was the highest. The rehydration efficiency increased as the concentration of sucrose increased. The texture of rehydrated Mook treated in sucrose solution was decreased with increase in rehydration temperature. The Mook treated at 60% sucrose solution was somewhat similar to the market selling Mook in the quality and the treatment prevented color and texture degradation.

In order to produce the high quality rehydrated acorn Mook(Korean tradition gel flood) that enhance acceptability, the optimum condition was investigated for the rehydration process of dried Monk as salt concentration(0, 1, 2%), temperature(20, 70, 80, 90$^{\circ}C$) and time. The estimation of moisture gain, rehydration efficiency was analyzed statistically. The surface color md seniory evaluation were undertaken to evaluate the rehydrated Mook quality The optimum rehydration time was decided to 15 minutes and it takes 3 minutes for the cooling tilde. The moisture gain increased as the rehydration temperature increase. And the moisture gain and moisture gain rate were higher at 1% salt solution than other concentration. As the rehydration efficiency, surface color and sensory properties of rehydrated Mook, 1% salt treatment was superior.

The purpose of this study was to investigated the effect of root planing and decalcified freeze dried allografts on the resorption of transplanted roots and the healing of preveously diseased recipient extraction sockets. The experimental chronic periodontitis was induced by elastic ligatures on the 2nd and 3rd mandibular premolars of 4 adult dogs, and after 8 weeks, crowns were removed and the teeth extracted. The extracted roots were split in half along the long-axis, and the extednt of plaque exposure was morked on the root surfaces with burs. The roots were either root-planed(Test group), or left uninstrumented(Control group), and transplanted in the extraction sockets with decalcified freeze-dried allografts filling the void. The flaps were sutured to cover the sockets completely. The animals were sacrificed after 12 weeks of healing, and the specimens were examined histologically. The results were as follows : 1. No signs of inflammation or disease activity were observed in either groups. 2. Replacement root resorption was observed in both groups. 3. More connective tissue attachments and less ankylosis were observed in the test groups compared to the control. 4. The unresorbed remains of DFDB particles were observed in both groups. 5. DFDB particles in the apical portion of the alveolar sockets were encased in newly-formed bone, while those in the coronal areas were seen encapsulated with connective tissue. 6. No significant difference was found between root-planed and uninstrumented roots relative to the healing and the bone fromation in the recipient extraction sockdets. From the present study, there seemed to be no significant benefits in root planing the transplanted roots or grafting the sockets with DFDB in order to curve the replacement resorption, although the root-planed roots showed more connective tissue attachments. There was also no significant benefits in root transplantation and DFDB for and enhanced healing and bone formation in alveolar extraction sockets.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of demineralized freeze dried bone and demineralized bone gel with guided tissue regeneration treatment around titanium implants with dehisced bony defects and also evaluate space maintaining capacity of demineralized bone gel type and DFDB powder type under e-PTFE membrane. In 3 Beagle dogs, mandibular premolar was extracted and four peri-implant osteotomies were formed for dehiscence. After insertion of implants, the four peri-implant defects were treated as follows. 1) In control group. no graft material and barrier membrane were applied. 2) In experimental group.1, the site was covered only with the e-PTFE membrane. 3) In experimental group 2,received DFDB powder and covered by the e-PTFE membrane. 4) In experimental group 3, demineralized bone gel and e-PTFE membrane were used. By random selection, animals were sacrificed at 4, 8, 12 weeks. The block sectioned specimens were prepared for decalcified histologic evaluation(hematoxylin and eosin staining) and undecalcified histologic evahiation(Von Kossa's and toluidine blue staining) with light microscopy. The results of this study were as follows. 1) In control group, there was a little new bone formation and connective tissue was completely filled in the defect area. 2) Experimental group 1 showed lesser quantity of bone formation as compared to the bone grafted group. Thin vertical growth of new bone formation around implant fixture was shown. 3) Experimental group 2 showed thick bucco-lingual growth of new bone formation and grafted bone particles were almost resorbed in 12 week group. 4) In experimental group 3, most grafted bone particles were not resorbed in 12 week group and thick bucco-lingual bone formation was shown in dehisced defect base area. 5) There was no remarkable differences in space making capacity and new bone formation procedure between demineralized freeze-dried bone powder type and demineralized bone gel type.

This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activities of natural herbal extracts including Houttuynia cordata and Eucommia ulmoides against human mast cell (HMC-1). Houttuynia cordata (HC) and Eucommia ulmoides(EU) were extracted with distilled water (at $75^{\circ}C$) and then freeze-dried for 5 days. Finally, the mixture of HC and EU were sterilized by ${\gamma}$-rays irradiation. Cytotoxicity of the mixture against HMC-1 cell was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, inflammatory mediator cytokines such as TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-8 were evaluated by ELISA kit on the HMC-1 cells with calcimycin A23187 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The results showed that mixture of HC and EU had no cytoxicity and reduced TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-8 response on HMC-1 cells.

This study confirmed the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activities of natural herbal extracts (HE) including Eucommia ulimoides and Ulmus davidiana against human mast cell (HMC-1). HE was extracted with distilled water (at $75^{\circ}C$) and then freeze-dried for 5 days. Finally, the HE was sterilized by gamma radiation with $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$ source at room temperature. Cytotoxicity of the HE against HMC-1 cell was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, inflammatory cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-8 were evaluated by ELISA kit on the HMC-1 cells with calcimycin A23187 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The results showed that HE had no toxicity and reduced $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-8 response on HMC-1 cells.

The physiological properties of 70% ethanol extracts from Portulaca oleracea with different extraction methods (reflux extraction, RE; autoclave extraction, AE; low temperature high pressure extraction, LTPE) were investigated. The freeze-dried powder yields of RE, AE, and LTPE were 33.78%, 30.80%, and 11.05%, respectively. The color values of L and b were higher in LTPE, and the chroma values were higher in AE and LTPE compared to RE. The total polyphenolics and proanthocyanidin contents in LTPE were significantly higher than in other extracts. The amount of substances related to flavonoids contents was highest in RE (4.30 mg/g), followed by AE (4.06 mg/g), and LTPE (4.00 mg/g). DPPH radical scavenging ability with a concentration of 500 mg% (w/v) were in the following order; LTPE (88.87%)> RE (83.84%)> AE (80.67%). Further, the reducing power, ABTS radical scavenging ability, and nitrite scavenging activity was observed in the same tendency as seen with the DPPH radical scavenging ability. However, the ferrous ion chelating activity of RE (85.45%) and AE (83.88%) was significantly higher than that of LTPE (75.60%). ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibitory activities of RE and LTPE with a concentration of 100 mg% were significantly higher than AE. Xanthine oxidase, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of LTPE were higher than the other extracts. These results suggest that the extracts from Portulaca oleracea have the potential to act as functional materials, and components of Portulaca oleracea could be effective in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease, and may be used to develop various functional food products.
