In order to produce clear and favorable citrus wine from Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju island, chemical and microbiological processes for alcoholic fermentation were investigated. The ratio of pressed juice passed below 100 mesh sieve and peel of mandarin orange were 55.9% and 25.6% respectively. Orange juice for fermentation source contained 8.85% total sugar, 1.43% total acid and 0.056% volatile acid. Pressed juice was adjusted to 24 degree Brix with cane sugar, and was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for one month. Starter screened and selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274. As principal fermentation proceeded for one week, suspended solids began to precipitate slowly after then. After fermentation, clear citrus wine consisted of about 8 degree Brix residual sugar, $13.3{\sim}14.4%$ ethanol, $0.78{\sim}1.11%$ total acid, $0.05{\sim}0.07%$ methanol and $2.25{\sim}3.29%$ extract, was obtained. Color, flavor and taste of citrus wine found good with panel test. Citrus wine which was treated with fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger CCM-4 was cleared much faster, and could be filtered more rapidly than the untreated. The enzyme-producing strain was isolated from field soil of Cheju island and identified.

In the Joseon Dynasty, various fruit teas were popularized to promote health, with spread of Donguibogam and Hyangyag gugeupbang. As interest in fruit tea has recently increased, studies on its manufacture have become necessary. We used response surface analysis for rediscovery and commercialization of grape tea. Major materials of traditional grape tea are grape juice, pear juice, ginger juice, and honey, and the sugar contents of these materials were 12.3, 14.1, 3.3 and 75 $^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. When sensory examinations were conducted with subjects aged 40-60 years, the difference between dilution ratios of 100% and 150% was not significant, but tea diluted by 150% showed somewhat higher scores than did tea diluted by 100%. Ginger taste and sweetness were found to have the greatest effect on overall acceptance. Regression analysis on color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance values, with reference to ginger juice and honey as independent variables, revealed that the $R^2$ values were 0.8411, 0.6717, 0.9499, and 0.9015, respectively. Contour maps were superimposed to obtain an optimal combination of ingredients for traditional grape tea, and the indicated levels of ginger juice and honey were 0.46-0.69% and 3.85-5.20%, in combination with grape juice, pear juice, and water concentrations of 28%, 9% and 60% (all w/w), respectively. Thus, it is now possible to prepare traditional grape tea.

This study investigates the quality of strawberry jam containing different quantities of strawberry. Strawberry jam was prepared by the addition of 70-30%(w/w) strawberry puree, Sweetness, pH, total acidity, color, anthocyanin and pectin content, texture, free sugar, and organic acid content of the samples were measured. Decrease in the quantity of the strawberry puree led to a decrease in the following: total acidity(significance value p<0.05), anthocyanin, pectin, total free sugar, frutose, glucose, sucrose, and, organic acid content, namely oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, and formic acid. A texture profile analysis showed reduction in the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the jam. At the same time, decrease in the puree quantity also led to an increase in the sweetness, pH, L-value, a-value and b-value(significance value p<0.05) of the jam. These results promote, the consumption of fruit that are high in fruit, low in sugar, and do not contain any chemical additives.

A strawberry variety 'Arihyang' was derived as an artificial cross between 'Tochiotome' and 'Seolhyang' in 2014. The seedling and line selections were conducted from 2014 to 2015. Preliminary and advanced yield trials of '14-5-5,' which was the final selected line, were conducted from 2015 to 2017. 'Arihyang' is suitable for forced cultivation and has strong plant vigor, uniformly large-sized fruit, and a high yield compared to those of the check variety, 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang.' Especially, vitamin C was at a significant level, which was approximately 15% higher than that of 'Seolhyang.' The average number of flowers per first flower cluster was 10.5, which could reduce the labor of thinning fruit. Its fruit has a conical shape, dark red color, and glossy skin. The fruit was of good quality but has recommendations for harvest at the fully ripened stage. 'Arihyang' has intermediate resistant to phytophthora crown rot, but is susceptible to powdery mildew, gray mold, anthracnose, and fusarium wilt. It is reguired to manage major diseases and pests using optimum cultivation techniques and chemical control.

Dohaengbyoung was prepared with the addition of glutinous rice at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, and their sensory quality and physical characteristics were compared. In sensory quality, the more glutinous rice was added, the higher the color intensity, moistness hardness, chewiness, springiness and cohesiveness were. Meanwhile, the more glutinous rice was added, the lower the color quality was. Dohaengbyoung with 20% glutinous rice showed the highest score in taste, texture, moistness and overall quality. The control sample with 0% glutinous rice showed the highest values in lightness(L) and redness(a) in color, and the more glutinous rice was added, the lower the values were. In textural characteristics, as the amount of glutinous rice increased, the hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness of Dohaengbyoung were increased. The lightness and redness were negatively correlated with the moistness, hardness, cohesiveness and springness； however, they were positively correlated with the color quality. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the addition of glutinous rice to Dohaengbyoung exhibited small pores and coarse surface.

TThis study investigated the influence of AGH-Ringer (chelated organic minerals liquid fertilizer) on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of 'Jukhyang' strawberry in a hydroponic system. The results revealed that AGH-Ringer group led to significantly higher plant length than that of the control group, and that leaf length and leaf width increased with increasing leaf area. In addition, the fresh and dry weights of leaves and SPAD unit, which measures leaf color also showed a significant increase with AGH-Ringer. However, the length and dry weight of roots did not show significant differences when compared to the control group. In the fruit quality analysis, AGH-Ringer group did not show any difference in fruit length compared to the control group, but it increased both the fruit weight, which, along with the simultaneous increase in fruit width, increased the yield per strawberry. Furthermore, AGH-Ringer group strengthened the red skin color of the fruit, and resulted in significantly greater hardness than that of the control group, but did not have any effect on the soluble solid content and acidity. As shown in the results, the AGH-Ringer group resulted in lesser mineral content and lower to medium EC (electrical conductivity) in comparison to the inorganic mineral hydroponic fertilizer, which was used as a control. However, it increased the leaf growth, fruit weight, and yield, and improved the fruit quality by increasing the soluble solid content in the hydroponic system of 'Jukhyang' strawberry. Therefore, based on this study, AGH-Ringer is thought to be a more effective hydroponic fertilizer than the inorganic mineral hydroponic fertilizer. Moreover, the field experiment demonstrated that AGH-Ringer is a useful hydroponic fertilizer convenient for application in farms. This study also proved that AGH-Ringer is a fertilizer that can promote plant nutrition by controlling the salinity of the soil and facilitating the absorption of necessary minerals in future soil cultivation, thereby providing basic data for organic farming.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect the water content in coir substrates as according to growth stage on the growth and yield of mini-paprika of three varieties 'E 499524' (red color), 'E 499526' (yellow colar) and 'E 499531' (orange colar) in summer hydroponics. Treatments of I, II and III were composed of 55-65-60, 50-60-55 and 45-55-50% in water contents of growth stages, respectively. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors were used in a drip irrigation system. The early growth of mini-paprika was increased by high medium water content of treatment I in all of three varieties. Mean fruit weight was not affected by medium water content, but the fruit number per plant and yield were increased at high medium water content of treatment I. The Yield of treatment I was higher than that of treatment II and III in all of three varieties. The sugar content was increased by low medium water content of treatment in all of three varieties. The incidence of brown-stem fruit, blossom-end rot and sunburn was decreased with increasing water content of medium. Occurred in the low water content of medium. Mineral contents of fruits such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) etc. were not affected in all of three varieties.

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 conducted to investigate several indicators of fruit maturity, and expert sensory evaluation was done to determine the most appropriate maturity time for the new Korea grape cultivar 'doonuri' for high quality winemaking. The grape component changed dramatically during ripening, after veraison. Considerable drops in berry firmness (<0.60 kgf/$cm^2$) and titratable acidity (<0.66%) were found at the ripening stage while the soluble solid content significantly increased in the ripening process. Most of the organic acids contained were tartaric and malic acid. The malic acid content was about twice the tartaric acid content in the fruit-growing period but was less than the tartaric acid content in the maturity period. The total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents increased sharply after veraison. In particular, the total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents reached their maximum levels when the acidity was 0.55%, and after that, there was almost no change. Correlations between anthocyanin accumulation and several factors were found in sugar 0.7811 (p<0.05), pH 0.9315 (p<0.05), and Brix/acid ratio 0.9409 (p<0.05). $Brix{\times}pH^2$ and brix/acid ratio were used as indicators of the proper maturation of the grapes when the acidity was 0.53 to 0.55%, and at sugar 17 Brix. When surveyed, the quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of the wine made using the latest harvested grapes showed the most reliable sourness. The color, aroma, and overall harmony of the wine, however, were evaluated to be the best when the wine acidity was about 0.60% or when the grape acidity was below 0.55%.
