Quality changes of kimchi added with 10 or 20% Prunus mume liqueur byproduct (PLB), obtained after producing Prunus mume liqueur. during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ for 25 days were investigated. The pH and titrtable acidity in 20% PLB added kimchi were changed more gradually during fermentation for 25 days compared to control. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts in kimchi added with 20% PLB were lower than those of control during fermentation for 15 days. Kimchi fermentation was delayed about 10 days with 20% PLB. L and a values of kimchi added with PLB decreased but b value increased with increasing the concentration of PLB. In the sensory evaluation of kimchi fermented for 10 days, the texture score of PLB added kimchi was higher than that of control, and increased with increasing the concentration of PLB. There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in overall acceptability among control kimchi and PLB added kimchi.

Effects of Prunus mume byproduct (PLB), obtained after manufacture of Prunus mume liquer, on quality characteristics of bread were investigated. The pH of dough and bread decreased but titratable acidity increased by addition of 10% or 20% PLB. The volume of dough during fermentation and the baking loss of bread containing PLB were smaller than those of the dough and bread without PLB. The weight of bread increased but the volume decreased by addition of PLB. L (lightness) value increased and a (redness) value decreased in the surface of bread containing PLB. b (yellowness) value did not show difference between treatments. The internal color of bread containing PLB decreased in L and a value but increased in b value. The hardness and strength of bread decreased with 10% PLB but increased with 20% PLB compared to control. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread increased with 10% or 20% PLB, but did not show significant difference between concentrations. As results of sensory evaluation, taste and flavor of the bread containing 10% PLB increased significantly compared to control. The sensory quality of bread with 20% PLB decreased significantly. The strength, springiness, and hardness of bread with 20% PLB were higher than those of control. The taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptability of bread with 10% PLB were better than those of control. No molds were found in breads with 20% PLB and 20% PLB powder during storage for 1 week at room temperature.

The objective of this research was to investigate the potential use of Prunus mume liqueur byproduct (PLB) as an ingredient in noddle processing. After boiling, the weight and volume of PLB added noodles and turbidity of the noodle soup decreased significantly, compared with those of the control. In sensory evaluation, appearance and color scores of the noodle with PLB were lower than those of the control. However, scores for texture, flavor, taste and overall acceptability were higher in the noodle with PLB than in the control. The pH value of the noodle decreased with increase of PLB concentration and did not change during storage for 30 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Changes of titratable acidity in the noodle with PLB showed the same trend as pH. The surface of the noddle was covered with mold in the control and 10% PLB added noodle after 15 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$. However, the noodle with 20% and 30% PLB did not how significant increase in total bacteria up to 30 days at $10^{\circ}C$.

Fruit leathers were manufactured from flesh and pomace of Japanese apricots and evaluated for their physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory properties. The contents of total dietary fiber(TDF) in Japanese apricot leathers(JAL) and Japanese apricot pomace leathers(JAPL) were 4.06% and 7.82%, respectively. One hundred grams of leather contained 368kcal in JAL and 352kcal in JAPL. Water activities of fruit leathers were 0.36 in JAL and 0.48 in JAPL. None of the factors had an effect on the microbiological counts of any of the organisms. The L, a and b values of the fruit leathers were higher in those made of JAF than those made of JAP. The fruit leathers made of JAF were harder than those made of JAP. Sensory panelists preferred fruit leathers made of JAP to those made of JAF in all attributes, except for their color.

This study was conducted to test the efficacy of plum (Prunus mume) and red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A Meyer) marc as stress inhibitors under heat stress and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in broilers by investigating their effects on blood biochemical parameters, immunoglobulin concentration and splenic cytokine mRNA expressions. A total of one hundred ninety-two 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into 2 stress conditions (heat and LPS) experiments. Each experiment was divided into 4 treatment groups with 8 replicates of 3 birds in each group. NC (negative control, no immune substances), PC (positive control, 25 ppm ${\beta}$-glucan), PM (1% plum marc) and RGM (3% red ginseng marc) treatments were administered with respective substance through water supplementation. During heat stress, The Ca/Mg ratio in PM and RGM was significantly decreased in comparison with that of NC (P<0.05). The immunoglobulin M was significantly lower in PM than in NC (P<0.05). Expression patterns of splenic cytokine mRNAs (IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6) were similar over the treatment. Expression rates of IL-1 and IL-2 in PM were significantly decreased in comparison with NC. Also, expression rates of IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6 were significantly lower in RGM than in NC (P<0.05). In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of plum and red ginseng marc improved coping ability to heat stress by preventing Ca/Mg ratio increment and by inhibiting inflammatory response in broiler chicks. However, it is necessary to determine optimal dietary level of red ginseng marc for improving growth performances in broiler chickens. These results suggest the possibility that plum and red ginseng marc could be used as the stress inhibitor under heat stress and inflammatory response in broiler chicks.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the feeding influence of Prunus memu by-products (PMB) on productivity, blood composition, meat quality and intestinal microflora in semi-broiler chicks. Four hundred one day old chicks(Hanhyup 3) were raised in the floor pen with five treatments(0, 0.5, 1.0 2.0 3.0%) of four replicate for ten weeks. Basal diets contained 3,000, 3,100, 3,100, 3,200 kcal/kg ME and 22, 21, 19, 17% CP, respectively. There were no different performance for the first two weeks, but showed significantly different weight gain, feed intake in PMB 2.0, 3.0% addition treatments compared with control from three to five weeks of age. Weight gain of birds fed 2.0% PMB was significantly higher from nine to 10 weeks of age than control(P<0.05). Total weight gain tended to increase in PMB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0% addition treatments. Feed intake also showed increase in PMB 2.0, 3.0% addition treatments, but there were no different feed conversion. Total protein, albumin, cholesterol, neutral fat, glucose was significantly decreased in PMB 0.5% addition treatments compared with control. There were no different physico-chemical characteristics in breast meat. The number of yeast was significantly improved in PMB 3.0% compared with control(P<0.05), but found no difference in number of E. coli between control and PMB treatments. ND titer of birds fed PMB was not statistically different, but tended to decrease as dietary PMB increased. As the result of this experiment, PMB would be available as a feed additives in semi-broiler chicks.
