Abstract:
A method of increasing isoflavone content by hydropriming and osmopriming treatment of soybeans consecutively is provided to increase the isoflavone content by 10 to 40% due to soybeans. The germinated soybeans with increased isoflavone content are used to manufacture high functional fermented soybeans. Soybeans are soaked in purified water at 20 to 25deg.C for 4 to 6hr, hydrated, soaked in inorganic salt solutions for 4 to 6hr and germinated at 20 to 25deg.C and 85% relative humidity for 24 to 48hr in an incubator to give germinated soybeans with increased isoflavone content. The inorganic salt is any one selected from NaCl, KNO3 or MgSO4. High functional fermented soybeans are obtained by steaming the germinated soybeans with increased isoflavone content at 121deg.C for 60min, cooling to 50deg.C, inoculating with 2% by volume of Bacillus subtilis cultures and fermenting at 40deg.C for 72hr.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition for preventing or treating obesity or type 2 diabetes is provided to reduce body weight and epididymis fat and carnitine, neutral lipid and blood cholesterol. CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing or treating obesity or type 2 diabetes contains Jerusalem artichoke powder or extract as an active ingredient. The Jerusalem artichoke extract is contained in 0.01-5.99 weight%(w/w) of total diet. The composition increases carnitine content in blood or liver. The carnitine is increased by high expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I.
Abstract:
A method for maturing and preparing the black garlic, and the black garlic prepared by the method are provided to reduce the maturation time of garlic and to improve productivity. A method for maturing and preparing the black garlic comprises the steps of putting the raw garlic whose skin is removed in a sterilization pot and steaming the garlic; and maturing the steamed garlic in a thermo-hygrostat to prepare the steamed black garlic. Preferably the raw garlic is steamed at a temperature of 100±1 deg.C for 10-15 min.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A hangover-relieving agent containing flavonoid is provided to suppress ROS generation and to prevent apoptosis of hepatocytes.
