In order to develop a type of instant tea cassia tora seed, changes of constiuent amounts before and after roasting $(3{\pm}0.5min\;at\;170{\pm}5^{\circ}C)$ effective extracting solvent and it's optimum concentration, dehydration method and sensory scores were investigated. Moisture, lipid, reducing sugar, emodin and rhein were decreased by roasting, whereas protein, and total sugar of cassia tora increased. Color intensity and extracting efficacy were also increased. Of three kinds of solvent (water, methanol and ethanol), ethanol was highest in redness and yellowness of exeracts, and filtrate yield. Effective extracting concentration of ethanol for cassia tora was 50%(V/V). Freeze dry product(FDP) and spary dry product(SDP) showed coffee and aloe-like smell, coffee like brown color, rapid soluble in cold and hot water, and fast caking in air during storage. Free sugar contents were high in order of raffinose>fructose >glucose>maltose>sucrose Metallic contents were high in order of sodium>calcium>potassium>magnesium>iron. In sensory score for color, taste and aroma, FDP and SDP were both above 8.0 point, however, of them FDP more or less higher than SDP In addion, score in developing value as an instant tea was above 8.0 point (valuable).

The physicochemical properties of rice flours which were obtained by dry milling(blade, hammer, test and micro mill) and wet & dry milling (roller & micro mill) were investigated. The resulting flour particle sizes were reduced in the order that of blade, hammer, test, micro and roller & micro mill. Scanning electron microscopic examination showed that the starch granules were freed from the imbedding matrix as the particles became finer. The test-milled flour had the hightest levels of starch damage, maltose value and hot-water soluble amylose content, and the blade-milled flour showed the lowest levels. Amylograph viscosity and gelatinization temperature of the flours decreased as the particles became finer, and the addition of $Hg^{+2}$ increased the peak viscosity of the dry-milled flour pastes, whereas the wet & dry-milled flour did not show any changes. The blue values and ${\lambda}$max values of the iodine complex of the cold-water extractable ${\alpha}-D-glucan$ from flours were in the range of 0.023-0.029 and 518-522nm, respectively, indicating these materials were shown to be mainly composed of amylopectin-like polymer.

This study was conducted to develop a spray-dried garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) powder and to evaluate its quality characteristics depending on the treatment of steam blanching pretreatment $100^{\circ}C$, 3 min) and the addition of forming agents (dextrin (DE=10), ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin) during process. The steam blanching pretreatment showed an increase in $L^*$ value while a decrease in $-a^*$, $b^*$, $C^*$, and $h^o$ values of the powder. Moisture content and water soluble index were not affected by the treatment of steam blanching and the addition of forming agents, whereas the particle diameter was the smallest in the steam blanching treatment and dextrin addition. Chlorophyll, phenolic compound, and vitamin C content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of non-pretreated powder were significantly higher than those of the steam blanching treated powders. However, there was no significant difference between the two forming agents. The sensory acceptability (color, smell, and overall acceptability) of powder treated with steam blanching were significantly higher than those of non-pretreated powders. Therefore, the steam blanching pretreatment of fresh garlic chives affected on the better quality characteristics of the spray-dried powders when compared with non-pretreated powder though it adversely affected the natural chemical quality of fresh garlic chives.

This study investigated the alcohol fermentation characteristics of citrus hydrolysate by adding various sugars(sucrose, honey, fructose and fructooligosaccharide). As a result, the alcohol content was shown to be similar among all the sugars. Fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected as a major free sugar. In particular, the contents of fructose and glucose were shown to be higher in sucrose addition, lactic, citric and malic acids were detected as major organic acids of citrus wine. When the sensory characteristics of citrus wines were compared, flavor was shown to have a sensory score of 5.1 in sucrose addition, showing the most preference. However, no significant difference in preference was found among the sugars. Color, taste and overall acceptability were shown to have the most preference in sucrose addition, and then in honey, fructose, and fructooligosaccharide in order. Therefore, a further study on the improvement of quality and sensory preference using aging process and complex sugars is required.

We prepared Jeotgal with Haliotis Discus Hannai Ino (abalone) viscera and the studied the physicochemical properties. Abalone viscus was fermented with varying amounts of salt for 60 days in order to prepare for the Jeotgal. During the fermentation, we measured the change of pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), amino nitrogen (AN) and protease activity. After the fermentation, we examined the composition of free amino acids and sensory evaluation. The pH decreased with the fermentation, which was not significant (from 5.5 to 6.5). After the fermentation, the highest VBN was 96.7 mg/g, while the highest AN value was 406.3 mg/g. Unlike VBN and AN, the protease activity increased and reached the highest activity at the 30th day, and then decreased afterward. Based on the results, it was deduced that higher salinity restrained the fermentation and lowered the VBN, AN and protease activity. The total free amino acids of abalone Jeotgal, which were analyzed after the fermentation, (62.75 mg/g) was more than twice the amount in the abalone viscera before the fermentation (30.37 mg/g). We prepared abalone viscera Jeotgal and studied the characteristics for the first time. This will provide us with useful information for future related researches.

Spray drying was used a means for microencapsulation of Aster scaber and Aster glehni. The optimum conditions of spray drying were found to be 210$^{\circ}C$ for the inlet temperature and 5 $m\ell$/min for the feeding rate. The color difference decreased by 12∼25 % far the herb extracts depending on storage temperatures. With an increase in storage temperature, color of the control changed considerably compared to microencapsulated powders. This is due to the fact that wall materials minimized effect of oxygen on the herb extracts. Microencapsulated powders in the amounts of 50 ppm and 250 ppm added to hydrogenated soybean oils led to lower acid values and conjugated diene values during 6 day storage. Compared to the control, the herb extracts displayed 16∼48% increase in antioxidation effect, while the microencapsulated powders exhibited 46∼88% increase. Extracts also showed lower conjugated dienoic acid contents than those of the control. Although antioxidation effect of the microencapsulated powders did not prevail on the significant level in the early stage of storage of oils tested, it became predominant after one week of storage as wall materials were gradually degraded under the high temperature thereby releasing core material from the microcapsule.

This study investigated the physical, textural, and sensory properties of strawberry jam with different amounts (0%, 14%, and 21%) of added rice mash. The soluble solids, pH, and total acidity values of the samples were found to be in the range of $53.00{\sim}65.33^{\circ}Brix$, 4.11~4.20 and 0.66~0.80%, respectively. Soluble solids and total acidity decreased significantly as the amount of rice mash was increased. The L-value, a-value, and b-value increased on increasing the amount of rice mash (p<0.05). The glucose contents of the samples ranged from 3.86 g to 4.13 g. The fructose, sucrose, and maltose contents significantly decreased (p<0.05). The organic acid content was measured and it was found that, oxalic acid was not in the control sample (0% rice mash). As the rice mash content was increased, the succinic acid content also increased (p<0.05), but the citric acid content decreased significantly (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, strawberry jam with rice mash showed superior spreading property than that of the control sample. Strawberry jam with 0% rice mash had the highest color and taste score. For the overall acceptability, strawberry jams with 0% and, 14% of rice mash were preferable to that with 21%.

The physicochemical properties and nutritional components of fermented black jujube (FBJ) were compared with those of dried jujube (DJ) to improve their utilization as food materials. The moisture contents and brix of the DJ and FBJ were 22.6% and 6.07 brix, and 10.36% and 7.23 brix, respectively. Their L values were 34.78 and 31.82, and the a and b values of DJ were higher than those of FBJ. DJ had a lower water activity level (0.75) than FBJ (0.45), but FBJ had a higher amount of reducing sugar and soluble protein than DJ. The major free sugars in the two types of jujube were fructose and glucose, and their potassium content was highest (about 90%) among minerals. Their unsaturated fatty acid contents were 51.0% and 59.83%, respectively, and the major fatty acids myristoleic acid, palmitic acid, and palmitoleic aid were detected in them.

Fresh jujubes (Zizyphus jujuba Miller) of whitish green and red ripe maturities were stored at 5 different temperatures, and quality changes through the storage were measured to find an optimal storage condition. Respiration rates and their temperature dependences for both maturities were not different from each other, which suggested non-climacteric pattern of postharvest respiration. Red ripe fruits showed heavier weight and higher content in soluble solid and ascrobic acid compared with whitish green mature fruits. Through the storage of jujubes in perforated packages tissue softening and decay were main visual quality deteriorations with the former preceding the latter. The whitish green mature jujubes showed slower rate of quality changes in softening and decay than red ripe ones, and are thus more suitable for long term storage. In the storage, the whitish green fruits changed into red color, and showed increase in soluble solid and decrease in acidity and ascorbic acid content. Storing the jujubes at $-2^{\circ}C$ resulted in symptoms of chilling injury, and storing at higher temperatures above $0^{\circ}C$ accelerated the decay and softening. $0^{\circ}C$ was found to be optimal temperature for long term storage, where jujube had the lowest rate of quality changes without chilling injury. Even at optimal temperature of $0^{\circ}C$, however, storage life retaining freshness was only around 40 days which is not enough.

This study aimed to investigate the morphological characteristics and optimal germination conditions in seeds of Arabis pendula L., a traditionally edible and medicinal plant. The external seed shape was circular-obovate with narrow wings and dark brown. The seed length and width were 1.25 mm and 1.47 mm, respectively. The seeds were exalbuminous and the embryo was a bent type. Seed germination was the highest (49.7%) at $20^{\circ}C$ under dark conditions among the various temperature and light conditions applied. However, under the dark condition, the seedling was weak, overgrown, and the cotyledons were small and folded. To improve the germination and growth of seedlings, the seeds were pre-treated with $GA_3$ solutions of varying concentrations (0, 200, 500, and 1,000 mg/L). The seed germination and seedling growth were effectively improved by $GA_3$ pre-treatment. The germination rate was the highest (97.3%), mean germination time was the shortest (8.1 days), and a vigorous growth of seedlings was observed upon pre-soaking the seeds in 500 mg/L $GA_3$ solution. In conclusion, the best method for germination was pre-soaking in 500 mg/L $GA_3$ ($4^{\circ}C$, dark, 24 h) and incubating the seeds at $20^{\circ}C$ for 15 days.
