The efficacy of strong acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) at pH 2.53, with ORP of 1,088 mV and HClO concentration of 91.25 ppm, and low alkaline electrolyzed water (LAEW) at pH 8.756, with ORP of 534 mV and HClO concentration of 105.70 ppm, as storing liquids for peeled potato and sweet potato was evaluated in this study. During storage at $5^{\circ}C$, total phenolic contents and PPO activities of peeled potato and sweet potato stored in SAEW and LAEW were lower than those of control samples stored in tap racer (TW) with 0.85% (w/v) NaCl and 0.5% (w/v) sodium metabisulfite (SMS). Increment in color differences and decreases in hardness of peeled potato and sweet potato stored in SAEW and LAEW were lower than those of controls. Also, SAEW and LAEW inhibited growth of microorganisms for at least 3-6 days of storage. The sensory characteristics of peeled potato and sweet potato stored in LAEW were best during the first half of the storage period, compared to samples preserved by other methods.

Quality changes in fresh-cut potatoes during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ after treatment with low-temperature blanching and antibrowning agents were studied. Fresh-cut potatoes were treated by dipping for 1.5 min in a browning inhibitor solution containing 0.5% (w/v) ascorbic acid, 0.5% (w/v) citric acid, 0.5% (w/v) sodium chloride, 0.1% (w/v) trehalose, and 0.005% (w/v) biotin, at $60^{\circ}C$, with subsequent cooling for 1.5 min and storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The browning properties of fresh-cut potatoes were examined by measurement of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and total phenolic content. Changes in quality attributes over a 14-day period were assessed in terms of titratable acidity, pH, water-soluble solid level, and gas analysis at $4^{\circ}C$. During storage, PPO activity increased, with the lowest activity seen after about 7 days of storage. Treatment with antibrowning solution at $4^{\circ}C$ increased visual sensory attributes during storage. Low-temperature blanching in distilled water more effectively inhibited browning compared with exposure to browning inhibitor solution, as assessed after 7 days of storage. Fresh-cut potatoes respired aerobically after different treatments during storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

This research was attempted in order to develop a long-term storage method for sprouting foods such as potatoes, onions, garlic and chestnuts using Co-60 gamma irradiation combined with a natural low temperature. The sprouting of the irradiated groups, 150 Gy in potatoes, 50 Gy in onions and garlic, and 250 Gy in chestnuts was almost completely inhibited until 8 to 10 months of storage. The rotting rate of loss of weight influenced a little by irradiation with a sprout inhibiting dose, and the weight of loss of the optimum dose irradiated groups was reduced by about 6 to 24% as against that of the nonirradiated in the four stored foods. The chemical components relating to the quality of sprouting foods were better retained in the irradiated groups than in the nonirradiated until the latter period of storage. Therefore, it was shown that the long term storage of sprouting foods is possible using gamma irradiation of 50 to 150 Gy for potatoes, onions, and garlic and 250Gy for chestnuts followed by storage at a natural low temperature($10{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, R.H. 75-85%).

5-Hydroxytryptamine(5-HT; serotonin) system has been implicated in the modulation of male sexual behaviors and the secretion of reproductive hormones. In human males, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors(SSRIs) are known to improve the major male sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, through the central nervous system-mediated pathways. As numerous hormone and local factors, 5-HT may have peripheral role in the regulation of male sexual function. The expression of 5-HT receptor subtypes in the target tissue, however, has not been explored yet. The present study was undertaken to test whether the 5-HT receptor subtypes are expressed in the reproductive tissues of male rat, especially in ejaculatory machinery such as seminal vesicle and vas deferens. To do this, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Southern blot analysis were employed. The transcripts for the 1A, 1B and 2C subtypes of 5-HT receptor were amplified in all the tested tissues. The present study demonstrated the expression of 5-HT receptor in the rat ejaculatory machinery, suggesting that 5-HT may play a pivotal role in the male sexual function via not only central pathway but also peripheral route. Further study on the receptor subtype-specific effect and their harmonized mode of action will be needed to establish the understanding of ejaculation mechanism and drug design.

Effect of pre- and post-mild heat treatment on quality of fresh-cut potatoes was investigated with the focus on surface color, firmness, phenolics, vitamin C and sensory characteristics. As the pre-heat treatment before cutting of potatoes, dried hot air (DH) and hot water (WH) treatment were conducted at $45^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, respectively. As a post-heat (CH) treatments, potato cubes were dipped into water of $55^{\circ}C$ for 45 seconds after cutting. The potato cubes were packed in 15 cm x 20 cm LDPE pouches $30^{\mu}m$ thick and then stored at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The respiration rate of fresh-cut potatoes was decreased by mild heat treatment Especially, the rate of cubes treated with DH was decreased by $20\%$ compared to that of the non-heat treated. L value of cubes treated with DH showed higher value than that of others. Firmness and free phenolics had no significant difference between the treatments. The fresh-cut potatoes prepared with non-heat treatment showed higher vitamin C content than that of the heat treated. In sensory visual color, CH treated cubes marked the best quality. Conclusively, mild heat treatment, especially CH treatment, showed positive effect on browning inhibition and quality enhancement of fresh-cut potatoes.

The curd yogurt (total solid content: 14%) was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder and potato puree. Potato puree comprised 9.5. 13,8 and 17.9% (dry basis) of the milk-potato mixture, and the effect of potato on the quality of yogurt was investigated. Addition of potato remarkably stimulated acid production and propagation of lactic acid bacteria, and viable cells reached above $3.9{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml after 12 hours. As potato content increased, the ratio of lactic acid content to total acidity decreased, while citric acid increased. The major organic acids of yogurt were lactic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid. Viscosity of yogurt was increased in proportion to the increment of the potato content. After 24 hours of incubation, the sensory score of yogurt containing 13.8% (dry basis) potato showed better sensory acceptability. When curd yogurt added with potato was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 15 day, its keeping quality was relatively good. Viable cells of lactic acid bacteria and ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity decreased rapidly at pH 1.5, and 2.5, but the group added with potato was more stable than control.

This experiment was conducted to determine tuber yield increase of Konjac by sowing time, seed tuber split method and cultural methods. Tuber yield per unit area was generally increased in early planting than conventional planting time. Tuber yield of polyethylene film mulching culture among storage methods was high, while the emergence rate of konjac for seedling plus PE mulching, and tunnel culture were prompted by 20 days, and especially seedling was to be greatly controlled due to temperature difference of the day and night at emergence. All of the cutting methods(two and four split method) were higher than conventional method because of increasing number of bulblet, accordingly, that method using seed tuber was profitable for mass propagation. Both botanical characteristics and tuber yield tend to be increased at 30 to 50 percent shading than natural condition.
