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.

Jerusalem artichoke (JA, Helianthus tuberosus L.) has a great potential to enhance the quality of yakju due to the plentiful inulin content which is functional and indigestible carbohydrate in human. In this study, the optimal preparation conditions such as the added amount and steam treatment of JA were investigated to improve the quality of yakju. As the amount of JA added to yakju increased, alcohol production decreased, whereas fermentation was performed well when the steam-cooked JA was added to yakju. The pH and total acidity of yakju decreased and increased, respectively, when the amount of JA added to yakju increased, whereas pH and total acidity of yakju increased and decreased, respectively, when the steam-cooked JA was added to yakju. The free sugar and organic acid contents of yakju increased and decreased, respectively, when the amount of JA added to yakju increased, whereas those of yakju decreased when the steam-cooked JA was added to Yakju. Amino acid content of JA decreased as the amount of JA added to yakju increased and that of JA significantly decreased when the steam-cooked JA was added to yakju. In the sensory evaluation analysis, the addition of 10% unsteam-cooked JA to yakju was the best when considering sweetness, flavor, sourness, and overall preference of yakju supplemented with JA. Consequently, utilizing JA to yakju may contribute to the improvement of the quality of yakju.

This study is to determine the optimum amount(0, 3, 6, 9, 12%) of Jerusalem artichoke to powder(JA) addition to rice flour in the preparation of Sulgidduk added JA. The quality characteristics of Sulgidduk added JA were investigated in moisture content, pH, color, texture, and sensory evaluation. The moisture content of control was 44.22%, but Sulgidduk added JA was 36.10~5.89%. In the change of color, L-value was decreased with degree of JA added. In color analysis, lightness, redness and yellowness of the control showed 84.56, -0.66, and 11.50, respectively. Lightness was decreased, but redness and yellowness was increased against the control when ratio of addition was increased. In the texture analysis of Sulgidduk added JA, hardness was the highest in the control($5958.33\;g/cm^3$) while JA added group was $4,702.24{\sim}5,744.44\;g/cm^3$. The adhesiveness of Sulgidduk added JA had lower value than that of the control according to the ratio of addition. In cohesivenss, Sulgidduk added with 3% of JA showed the highest value as 82.72% while the group with 12% added had the lowest value as 26.03%. The springiness showed no significant difference, but the gumminess significantly differs according to the ratio of addition; the group with 3% of JA added showed the highest value, which showed the tendency of decrease according to the ratio of addition. In the sensory evaluation of Sulgidduk added with JA, the addition of 6% of JA had the highest score in color, taste and overall preference. These results suggest that the suitable amount of JA for making Sulgidduk is 6%.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the antioxidative and antidiabetic activities of the flowers, leaves, and roots of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the leaves were higher than those of the flowers and roots. However, the DPPH radical-scavenging and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activities of the flowers were higher than those of the leaves and roots. The nitrite-scavenging ability under acidic conditions was high in Jerusalem artichoke flower extracts. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity and ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitory activity of a methanol extract of Jerusalem artichoke roots were about 60% (5 mg/mL concentration). Based on these experiments, it can be concluded that the flowers leaves, and roots of the Jerusalem artichoke can be used as natural preservatives. Therefore, they can be developed as functional foods, to take advantage of their antioxidant activity and abundant polyphenols. This study suggests that the whole Jerusalem artichoke, including roots, leaves, and flowers, is useful as a functional, nutritious food product.

To produce ethanol from Jerusalem artichoke powder efficiently, Kluyveromyces marxianus FO43 cells were encapsulated in 2% sodium alginate and were cultured in batch reactor to investigate the fermentation properties. Batch culture of immobilized cells left for 4 days in 15% Jerusalem artichoke medium showed ethanol concentration of 3.38%(w/v) and ethanol yield to theoretical value of 54.20%, lower than 3.76%(w/v) and 71.13% for the culture of free cells. Addition of cellulase to $15{\sim}20%$ Jerusalem artichoke media increased the production of ethanol, owing to remarkable reduction in consistency of the suspension. So it was possible to achieve an ethanol concentration of 5.57%(w/v) arid an ethanol yield to theoretical value of 68.86% in even 20% Jerusalem artichoke medium by cultivation of immobilized cells for 4 days. The alginate beads showed constant ethanol productivity after recycling 11 times (22 days) in repeated batch fermentation.
