This research was conducted to compare the quality of paprika ($Capsicum$ $annuum$ L.) packed with PLA film and OPP/PE film pouches during storage at $6^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of paprika fruit was higher in OPP/PE film pouches, mold decay was shown in OPP/PE pouches after 6 days, but was not yet shown in PLA pouches. Hardness decreased in all packages. Soluble solid content was highest in PLA1 film pouch, vitamin C content was also highest in PLA2. Mold decay was not shown in PLA pouches after 9 day, but shown at calyx of paprika fruit in OPP/PE pouches. Off-flavor was strong in the OPP/PE pouches when the pouches were opened, decay was also serious in the same pouches after 15 days and thus quality was inadequate for sale in market.

During an extensive screening tests of yeasts for their RNA formation, it was found that Cryptococcus laurentii had especially high RNA content and high dry cell weight, when hydrolyzate of sliced and dried sweet potatoes was used as a carbon source. Growth conditions of this strain were examined, and the most desirable results were obtained at 48 hours of cultivation on a reciprocal shaker at 3$0^{\circ}C$ with initial pH 6.0. Under the above conditions, the RNA content and yield of dry cells were investigated using various media compositions. Ammonium sulfate 0.40%, peptone 0.6 ％, and yeast extract 0.4% were appeared to be favorable as a nitrogen sources. The optimum concentrations of K $H_2$P $O_4$, M $n^{++}$, C $O^{++}$ were 0.05 ％, 0.1 ％, and 0.001 ％, respectively. Ca-pantothenate, 400$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, showed relatively favorable effects as a growth factor. The maximum RNA content obtained in this study was 16.8 ％ of the total dry cell weight.t.t.

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%).

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) becomes unstable in the aqueous phase by oxygen, light and alkali, etc. The properties are limited in application to cosmetics. The most important factor that determines the destabilization of ascorbic acid in the aqueous phase was tried to understand considering its molecular deformation and degradation. In this study, we changed the polyols and emulsification technique for the stability of ascorbic acid. Then we observed the color and concentration change of ascorbic acid at room temperature and high temperature ($42^{\circ}C$) for 6 weeks and identified the stability using HPLC regularly. As a result, we found that glycerin was the most appropriate polyol for stability of the ascorbic acid. Also the technique of nonaqueous emulsification stabilized ascorbic acid than P/S emulsification. Also, P/S emulsification, glycerin was more stable than propylene glycol. By the results we suggest that ascorbic acid could be stabilized by nonaqueous emulsification method and this data could be applied to stabilization methods for cosmetic products.

In this study, we explored the characteristics of a Chinese cabbage kimchi sauce, which was made from natural pigments, according to the preservation period. There were no significant changes in pH and total acidity and the color of the sauce with added natural pigments demonstrated stability. Also, vitamin C and the change of viscosity decreased as the preservation period increased. A although the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased over a 20 day period, a certain level was sustained for 91 days. Lastly, the sensory properties of the sauce were not significantly different according to the preservation period.

The changes in major characteristics of vegetable soybean at different stages were investigated. The 100-seed weight of vegetable soybean had a tendency to increase before 43 days after flowering, but decrease slightly after then. After 37 days after flowering, the sucrose content of Douya had a tendency to decline and in case of Shirofusa, total sugar content was sharply decreased at 40 days after flowering. The total vitamin C content of Douya and Shirofusa was dramatically increased at 37 days after flowering and then got the plateau, otherwise the total vitamin C content of Shirofumi and Hwaeomputkong was the highest level at 43 days after flowering. The hardness changes of vegetable soybeans were tend to increase according days after flowering. In sensory evaluation, preference score was significantly associated with harvesting stages. Correlation coefficient between sweetness and beany taste was significantly negative.

Proximate analyses of free sugars, free amino acids, fatty acids, total vitamin C and the soluble tannin content of the leaf and seed of Dendropanax morbifera Lev. were determined. Moisture content was 70.2% in leaf and 72.6% in seed, and crude protein contents were 1.2% in leaf and 6.2% in seed, and ash contents were 1.7% in leaf and 0.9% in seed. Total vitamin C and soluble tannin in leaf were 56.9% and 10.7% which were five times and eleven times higher in seed, respectively. Free sugar content in leaf was higher than that in seed, with the major free sugars consisting of sucrose, glucose and fructose. Turanose and xylose were not detected in leaf, but were detected in seed in small amounts. Unsaturated fatty acids were predominant in both of leaf and seed, but major fatty acids were quite different from each other. Low levels of free amino acids were found to consist mainly of arginine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid. The highest content of mineral elements in leaf and seed were calcium and potassium, respectively.

This study was measured weight loss, total ascorbic acids, titratable acidity and soluble solids contents to investigate the effect of EPS(expended polystrene foam) box, double wall corrugated paperboard box and LDPE film pouches during storage at 25oC. The rate of weight loss was 5.9% in corrugated paperboard box after 7 days, but those of 20LD, 40LD film and EPS box were 1.1, 1.0, and 1.1% , respectively. Total ascorbic acid content of EPS box was 20% higher than that in corrugated paperboard box, but the obvious differents were not observed among the LDPE film pouches and EPS box. The titratable acidity was decrease during storage, but total soluble solids content was increase. Overall appearences of LDPE pouches and EPS box were better than those of corrugated paperboard box.

This study was analyzed to the characteristics of the Lindera obtusiloba eaf teas by various manufacture methods. Moisture content was the highest in the tea processed by air dry method, and the lowest in the tea roasted after steaming. The contents of soluble solid was higher in the fermented tea than in the others, and the lowest in the roasted tea. The content of tannin was the higher in the roasted after steaming tea than in the others, and the lowest in the fermented tea. The content of vitamin C was the higher in the roasted tea than in the others, and the lower in the steamed tea. The mineral contents of leaf teas was orderly K, Na, Mn, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn. The roasted after steaming tea was estimated to the most excellent in the sensory evaluation of leaf teas.
