This study evaluated the microbial, nutritional, and rheological changes in potatoes, during storage at room, low, and freezing temperatures for 6 months. No significant changes in total aerobic plate counts were observed for any of the samples in the assessment of microbiological quality changes. For the 4 types of frozen potatoes, yeasts and molds were not found until 24 weeks. The sugar contents of the potatoes stored at room and low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$) increased during the first 4 weeks of storage, but then decreased rapidly thereafter; while those in the frozen potatoes did not change significantly throughout the 48 weeks. The vitamin C, B1, and B2 contents of the potatoes stored at room and low temperature had decreased significantly after 4 weeks of storage, however, the levels in the frozen potatoes did not change rapidly. The weight, volume, and hardness of the frozen potatoes changed much less as compared to the potatoes stored at room and low temperature over the 48 weeks of storage. Finally, the cohesiveness of all the samples, except for the frozen mashed potatoes, did not change during storage.

Jerusalem artichoke is often stored poorly after harvesting due to its delicate skin. For this reason, Jerusalem artichoke is mainly distributed in the market as a dried material. In order to improve utilization of dried Jerusalem artichoke, we made Jangachi and analyzed physiochemical characteristics with raw Jerusalem artichoke Jangachi during storage. Raw Jerusalem artichoke was sliced into 7 and 10 mm slices and dried in hot air. After aging, we analyzed rehydration capacity, pH, hardness, salinity, sugar content, and fructan content of both. Dried Jerusalem artichoke sliced into 10 mm slices took over twice as long (420 min) to be rehydrated over 90% than 7 mm sliced (200 min) Jerusalem artichoke. In the case of raw Jerusalem artichoke, hardness showed a tendency to decline. Relatively, hardness of dried Jerusalem artichoke was measured consistently. After 4 weeks, salinity and sugar content were 3.63% and $41.23^{\circ}Brix$ in raw Jerusalem artichoke Jangachi, 3.47% and $37.05^{\circ}Brix$ in 7 mm dried Jerusalem artichoke, and 3.77% and $39.15^{\circ}Brix$ in 10 mm dried sample, respectively. As a result of this study, the possibility of dried Jerusalem artichoke as a pickle was confirmed.

The purpose of this study was to examine how potato glycoalkaloid(PGA) contents changed as storing temperatures and periods changed for potatoes(Superior) cultivated in Korea. Some potatoes were stored at $5^{\circ}$C for 80 days, and others were stored at $20^{\circ}$C for 40 days. PGA contents were measured every 20 days for the potatoes stored at $5^{\circ}$C and 10 days for those stored at $20^{\circ}$C. The results can be summarized as follows. The amounts of a-chaconine and a-solanine measured on the first day of storage were 54.22 mg/100 g and 26.57 mg/100 g, respectively. Thus, the a-chaconine content was almost twice as much as the a-solanine content. The sprouts of potatoes stored at $5^{\circ}$C grew by 0.4 cm in 20 days, 1 cm in 40 days, 1.8 cm in 60 days, and 5.2 cm in 80 days. Furthermore, the PGA content increased by 3.5% in 20 days, 11.6% in 40 days, 23.4% in 60 days, and 41.4% in 80 days, compared to the PGA content on the first day. The sprouts of potatoes stored at 20 grew by 0.5 cm in 10 days, 2.3 cm in 20 days, and 7.4 cm in 40 days. Furthermore, PGA content increased by 12.5% in 10 days, 36.6% in 20 days, 44.8% in 30 days and 48.4% in 40 days, compared to the PGA content on the first day. Thus, we determined that potatoes stored at $20^{\circ}$C showed faster sprout growths and faster increases in PGA content than those stored at $5^{\circ}$C.

To measure the optimum reconditioning period, potatoes stored at low temperatures ($0^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$) for three months were reconditioned at $20^{\circ}C$. Contents of glucose, fructose and sucrose of halved and whole potatoes were monitored during the course of storage and reconditioning. In halved potaotes basal portion contained higher amount of glucose, fructose and sucrose. The sugars in basal portion decreased more rapidly than those in apical portion, and sucrose disappeared fastest among the sugars in both portions during reconditioning period. The relationship between reducing sugar and reconditioning period could be presented as exponential equation. I consideration of uneven distribution of sugar contents between apical and basal portion, the required optimum reconditioning period at 20 could be 1.3 weeks, 5.6 weeks and 9.4 weeks for potatoes stored at $10^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$, respectivery.

In this study, we investigated the physical properties, color values of mixtures with starch from potato in preparing a cartridge for 3D printing using golden threadfin bream (Nemipterus virgatus) surimi as raw material. The results show that the hardness and gumminess of the surimi mixture added potato starch increased but cohesiveness decreased compared to the negative control. This means that the starch makes surimi stronger texture than the negative control. After 7 days of cold storage at 4 ℃, for unheated surimi, firmness is increased but adhesiveness is decreased. And among physical properties of surimi stored after heating, hardness and gumminess were decreased compared to before storage. Lastly, after storage for 7 days, the hardness and gumminess of fried surimi decreased compared to fried surimi before storage. As a result of sensory evaluation, texture, elasticity scent of surimi stored after heating were decreased but overall favorability was similar. Compared to the after storage, result of sensory evaluation of fried surimi, result of the before storage showed no significant differences. From these results, it is suggested that potato starch, which increases overall physical strength and have little effect on preference, can be used as an additive for golden threadfin bream surimi.

감자는 전세계 대부분의 국가에서 재배되고 있는 세계 4대 주곡 작물인 동시에 스낵류 시장에서도 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 우리나라의 감자 가공산업은 1990년대 초부터 활기를 띠기 시작여하 현재 2,000억불의 매출을 달성하고 있다. 이중 우리나라 농민이 직접 생산한 감자를 원료로 사용하는 천연칩 감자 가공산업은 매출액을 기준으로 144억 (1997년)에서 700억 (2001년)으로 과거 10년 동안 괄목할 만한 성장을 하였다. 우리나라의 연간 감자 칩 원료용 가공용 감자 소요량은 총 51,600톤 (2002 년)으로 그중 40,600톤은 국내생산량으로 충당하고 나머지는 냉동감자를 수입하여 처리하고 있다. 가공원료용 감자는 괴경의 크기나 모양과 같은 외부품질과 환원당이나 고형분 함량과 같은 내부품질이 좋아야 한다. 하지만 가공용 감자의 내·외부품질이 좋게 판정되어도 내부갈색반점이나 중심공동과 같은 괴경 생리장해가 발생하면 원료용 감자로서의 상품 가치가 상실된다. 국내 칩 가공원료용 감자는 봄재배에서는 약 5 ∼ 7 ％, 여름재배에서는 10 ∼ 15 ％의 괴경 생리장해가 발생되고 있다. 현재 위와 같은 생리장해는 가공공장에서 감자를 잘라서 골라내거나 감자 칩을 만든 후 제거하는 방법을 쓰고 있다. 이에 감자를 수확 후 감자칩으로 가공하기 전에 생리장해가 발생한 감자를 제거하여 생산 공정에서의 불필요한 가공을 줄일 수 있는 방법이 개발되어야 할 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 최근, 농산물의 비파괴적 품질 평가와 선별에 있어서 가장 실용적이고 성공적인 기술 중의 하나는 농산물의 광학적 성질을 이용한 전기-광학 기술이다. 그중 X-선과 같이 파장이 짧은 방사 에너지는 대부분의 농산물을 투과하여 내부의 질량 밀도의 변화와 상관관계를 갖는 품질 인자를 비파괴적으로 평가하는데 적합하나 아직 국내에선 X-선을 이용한 가공용 감자의 내부 결함특성에 대한 연구는 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가공용 감자의 내부결함 특성중 하나인 내부동공의 X-선에 의한 특성을 본 연구소에 있는 X-선 발생장비로 측정해 보고 비파괴적인 방법으로 실시간 가능성을 시험하였다. 감자는 수원 농산물 도매시장에서 2003년산 가공용 감자 (품종:선농)를 구매하여 사용하였다. 감자내 내부동공은 35 ∼ 40 kV와 5.25 mA값으로 발생된 X-선에 의해 잘 검출되는 것으로 나타나, 현장에서 충분히 활용가능 할 것으로 판단되었다. 금후, 실시간으로 내부동공을 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 계획이다.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of blanching temperature and cooking methods on the changes in the proportions of vitamin C of fresh potato and potatoes with different storage time. Sensory evaluation of fresh potato by different cooking methods was also conducted. The contents of residual ascorbic acid(AA) and total ascorbic acid(TAA) of fresh potato were maximum at $40^{\circ}C$ followed by rapid decrease at $50-65^{\circ}C$ while leached AA and TAA showed steady increase as the blanching temperature increased. Oxidized AA and dehydroascorbic acid(DHA) hydrolyzed increased at $50-65^{\circ}C$. From these results, it was considered that AA was lost mainly by oxidation up to $65^{\circ}C$ and leaching of AA was the major mode of loss above $65^{\circ}C$. In the case of potatoes stored for 1-4 weeks, they showed similar changes in the proportions of vitamin C as that of fresh potato. However, at $40^{\circ}C$ the content of residual TAA decreased and those of leached TAA and DHA hydrolyzed increased redundant during storage. At $65^{\circ}C$, the content of DHA hydrolyzed decreased The residual TAA of fresh potato by different cooking methods decreased in the order of pressure cooking (PC) > microwave cooking (MC)>boiling. Leached TAA were 49.5% and 36.4%, during boiling and MC, respectively. While DHA hydrolyzed were 22.3% and 4.2%, respectively Leached TAA and DHA hydrolyzed during PC were not determined. From these results, it was considered that AA was lost mainly by leaching during cooking. Residual TAA of stored potatoes by different cooking methods decreased during storage. But leached TAA and DHA hydrolyzed did not show any steady increase or decrease. Overall eating quality of fresh potato by different cooking methods decreased in the order of PC>MC>boiling(p<0.05).

In an effort to investigate special distribution of glucose content of potato tuber of a cultivar 'Superior' after harvest, a whole tuber was longitudinally cut into halves and cut-surface was divided into 11 regions. Approximate glucose concentration of each section was determined using a commercial blood glucose meter. Higher level of glucose was detected in the outer layers of tissue than inner part of tuber although there were lower coefficients of variation value, 37.4% and 34.1% among individual tubers and among defined sections, respectively. A positive correlation between the whole tuber and individual section was existed in glucose content, where the central pith tissue gave the highest coefficient (r = 0.921) and bud end tissue did the lowest (r = 0.544). Glucose content of the tubers stored for 4 months at $2.0^{\circ}C$ was 5.5 fold higher compared to the tubers kept in ambient temperature. The chip color of the former tubers was much brighter than those of the latter tubers. The result obtained in the present study suggests that the blood glucose meter can be used to a rapid and simple evaluation of glucose content and therein be applied to estimate the processing quality of potato tubers during postharvest handling.

The effects of various kinds of starch (mungbean, potato, corn and a blend of potato and com starch) on the quality characteristics of muhwakwa-pyun were studied according to the storage duration. The sweetness, pH and total acidity of muhwakwa extract were analyzed, as were the Visco/Amylograph viscosity profile and DSC thermodynamic characteristics of starches. For quality characteristics, color difference, instrumental texture characteristics and sensory characteristics were compared. The sweetness of muhwakwa extract was satisfactory but the total acidity was low for Kwa-pyun manufacture. Therefore, its pH was adjusted to 3.4 by adding 10％ citric acid with an amount of 1％ of total liquid. From the Visco/Amylograph viscosity profile and DSC thermodynamic characteristics of starches, a blend of potato and com starch was found to be easy to cook and form a gel but a little more resistant than the other starches in terms of retrogradatin. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of Kwa-pyun increased while its redness (a) decreased by the storage. The color became whiter and the clarity decrease regardless of the kinds of starch, which became obvious after 3 days of storage. The hardness, springiness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness tended to decrease with storage, which was weak in a blend starch. The overall acceptability of Kwa-pyun made with a blend of potato and com starch was evaluated as being the best among the samples tested. Therefore, for traditional kwa-pyun manufacture manufacture mungbean starch might be replaced with a blend of potato and corn starch which is less expensive and easily available in the market nowadays.

This study was carried out to determine the sprouting period of early and mid-season varieties, which includes 'Atlantic', 'Chubaek', and 'Superior', during the summer storage period in a semi-underground warehouse without cooling system. And also it was investigated the effect of chlorpropham [Propan-2-yl N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate, CIPC] treatment on the sprouting inhibition for the varieties. This study was conducted to figure out a sprout inhibitory effect when CIPC was applied to 1kg of the potato tubers at concentrations of 10 mg and 20 mg which are lower than the treatment concentrations of ca 30 mg prescribed by the positive list system (PLS). The internal temperature of the warehouse used in this experiment was lowered by 5℃ or more than the outside temperature. The difference between the lowest and highest temperature during the experiment throughout the day was 5℃. It showed the effect of reducing to 1/2 of the difference in outdoor temperature. As for the sprouting of potatoes, the extremely early variety 'Chubaek' sprouts appeared at the 6th week of storage of control and it was the fastest sprouting potato among the control groups of the varieties. Sprouting began to appear in the Superior at the 6th week of storage, while the 'Atlantic' sprouted at the 8th week of storage. The appearance of sprouts was suppressed in all treatment groups of 'Atlantic' and 'Superior' varieties in CIPC treatments. Sprouts were observed in all treatment groups of 'Chubaek' after the 7th week, but the elongations of the sprouts in tubers were completely inhibited until the 8th week of storage. 'Atlantic' and 'Superior' seemed to have a sprouting inhibitory effect even with a low CIPC concentration of 10 mg·kg^-1, with the exception of extremely early variety 'Chubaek' that breaks out of the dormancy quickly. Although weight loss occurred continuously during storage, it was minor loss of 0.7-1.6%. There was no consistent trend for changes of the loss in the varieties and CIPC treatments. Most common pathological disorder was the dry rot during the experiment, but only few were affected. The use of the tubers treated at 18℃ and 90% RH for 10 days and the rack of refrigeration system which lead to lack of convection seemed to have suppressed the spread of pathogens.
