Three types of Kochujang(soybean-red pepper paste) were prepared with glutinous rice flour (group A), glutinous rice grain (group B) or the mixture of flour and grain (group C) to investigate some chemical composition, enzyme activities and the texture during aging period. 'There were no remarkable differences in the contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, minerals and alcohols, titrable acidity and pH among the tested groups. Amino nitrogen content, acidic protease and saccharogenic amylase activities were measured to be higher values for group A whereas reducing sugar content higher values for group B. All tested groups contained Ca, Cu, K, Mn, Mg, P and Fe, particularly higher amount of K but a trace of Cu, Mn and Fe. All tested groups showed higher content of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cystine, proline and lower content of histidine and valine 60 days after the preparation. The total free amino acid content was 16.49 mg/g for group A, 13.68 mg/g for group B and 15.84 mg/g for group C. The measurement of texture showed high values of hardness and adhesiveness with group A immediately after the preparation and with group B at the end of aging. Cohesiveness and springiness were high with group A while low with group B throughout aging period.

This research was performed to test the effects of oleic acid for the management of greenhouse whiteflies and tobacco whiteflies. Tobacco whiteflies, especially, are the vectors of tomato yellow leaf curl virus on tomato plants. Whiteflies are not only the vectors of various viruses but also the major insect pests that cause direct damages through sucking and induce sooty mold with their sweet dew on tomato plants. There are many eco-friendly management measures including the use of yellow sticky trap and natural enemies such as Eretmocerus eremicus and Amblyseius swirskii. However, these management measures have difficulties to implement in the greenhouse. Therefore, in this research, oleic acid was tested for its effect on the management of whiteflies at various concentrations of 1,000ppm, 2,000ppm, or 4,000ppm. As a result, treatments of 1,000ppm, 2,000ppm and 4,000ppm oleic acid showed the control value of 70%, 76% and 84%, respectively. In another test, treatments of 2,000ppm oleic acid, and control treatment of 1,5000ppm neem oil and 50ppm dinotefuran showed the control value of 82%, 75%, and 75%, respectively. Cost for one application of oleic acid and neem oil for 10a area would be 3,180 Won and 20,150 Won, respectively. As a result, it was assumed that the use of oleic acid would be a appropriate management measure.

Yakju, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, is made from glutinous-rice flour or rice starch with nuruk. In this study, we investigated that fermentation characteristics in yakju was made with glutinous rice and pretreatment. The yeast and nuruk were used Y90-9 and SP1800 (a kind of improved nuruk), respectively. pH and brix degree of yakju, brewed with glutinous rice flour by heating, were higher than the others during fermentation process. Total acid contents were 0.2~0.3 and the highest alcohol degree (15.75%(v/v)) was fermented glutinous rice flour by heating. Reducing sugar contents were 3.5-3.9 mg/mL. Yakju, which brewed with glutinous rice flour, of amino acid degree, UV absorbance and color degree was higher than yakju which brewed with glutinous rice starch. Succinic acid was the highest organic acid among 6 organic acids and free sugar contents described as glucose > maltose > fructose. Twenty one components were identified including 3 alcohols, 17 esters and one aldehyde. Of these, ethyl palmitate, which was described as mild flavor, was the highest %area except ethyl alcohol. Overall, the fermentation performed using glutinous rice flour by heating and improved-nuruk showed the best results for yakju production.

This study was carried out to examine the quality characteristics of Doenjang manufactured with or without soaking Meju in brine according to salt concentrations (8 and 12%) during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content and salinity of Doenjang fermented for 6 months were 54.9-60.3% and 7.8-12.5%, respectively. Doenjang using soaking Meju in brine had higher pH and lower titratable acidity than that using non-soaking Meju. The reducing sugar content in all samples was increased until 2 months and then decreased regardless of soaking Meju, especially that of non-soaking 8% Doenjang was the highest. The 8% low-salt Doenjang was shown the highest amino-type nitrogen content, especially the soaking Doenjang was higher than the non-soaking Doenjang. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of all samples during fermentation were continuously decreased from 0.91-0.94 Unit/g to 0.01-0.06 Unit/g, especially the 8% soaking Doenjang was shown the highest activity after 2 months. Total bacterial count of the soaking Doenjang at the 6 months was in range of 7.8-8.0 log CFU/g and that of the non-soaking Doenjang was in range of 7.2-7.5 log CFU/g. By taste analysis, the 8% soaking Doenjang was shown the similar taste pattern with commercial Doenjang. In conclusion, the 8% low-salt Doenjang manufactured with soaking Meju in brine was a suitable concentration in order to reduce salt intake.

This study was conducted to develop an appropriate postharvest technique to extend the shelf-life of an early cultivar, 'Tsugaru' apples. The general quality of stored fruit was more affected by maturity at harvest than postharvest treatments. When firmness and internal quality were considered, fruits harvested at the medium stage of color development showed better results. Between postharvest treatments examined in this study, a simple polyethylene film(PE) wrapping (30um) was excellent on inhibition of weight loss but this treatment revealed no clear effect on other quality factors including firmness and acidity. Ethylene scrubber(ES) in polyethylene wrapping showed a positive effect on keeping fruit quality in general. Especially acid content was higher in fruit stored with PE + ES, thus, fruit seemed to be better in freshness. A physiological disorder was observed regardless postharvest treatments. The symptom was associated with incidence of pitting on surface and breakdown of the effected tissue. And much more symptoms were developed near the calyx end. Thus, future studies concerning 'Tsugaru' storage should include an examination of the optimum storage temperature.

To improve the storage stability of Korean red pepper (Capsicum annuum), the equilibrium moisture content of the powder and effects of irradiation on the capsaicin, capsanthin and microorganisms were investigated during its storage. The equilibrium moisture contents of the powder at $25^{\circ}C$ and relative humidities of 43.7, 53.3, 64.4, 75.4 and 84.3% were 13, 18, 25, 28 and 37%, respectively, and the larger the particle size was, the lower the equilibrium moisture content was under the same storage conditions. Cobalt-60 gamma irradiation degraded partly the capsaicin in red pepper or in solution at dose levels above 500 krad, but did not affect the moisture and capsanthin contents during its storage. Total viable cell count of the powder was around $10^8$ per gram and $D_{10}$ value for the mixed organisms was 210 krad.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics of the red peppers for Kimchi preparation. Four cultivars of Korean red pepper with different color value, ten brands of commercial red pepper powder produced at different areas and paprika with imported from Spain were collected. These sample were analyzed for proximate composition, color, capsaicinoid and sensory evaluation, etc. Proximate composition was moisture of 12.6-17.13%, ash of 5.11-8.93%, crude lipid of 7.68-12.81% and crude protein of 11.35-16.72%. Free sugar content showed two-times among samples, the lowest sample was 11.35%(Shintaein), whereas the highest sample was 21.06% (Koisan). Capsaicinoid content of cultivars showed the highest value Dabok with 75.49 mg% and the lowest value Gusung with 18.77 mg%. American Spice Trade Association(ASTA) value, it was indicated redness of red pepper, showed very wide range of values with 47.3-144.7. Correlation coefficient($R^2$) of ASTA value and $a^* $was 0.87, while $R^2$ of 0.05 between of ASTA value and capsaicinoid contents. In sensory attributes, Dongbang(0.87 mg%) and Gusung(0.43 mg%) were not significantly different, while Dabok(1.74 mg%) was significantly different from other smaples in lag time, overall intensity and duration. The difference threshold of hot taste and ASTA value was over 1.0 mg%(capsaicinod content), 70(ASTA value), respectively.

The study was performed to evaluate the product quality and shelf-life effect of low-fat comminuted sausages (LFS) manufactured with sodium lactate (SL, 2%), grapefruit seed extract (GSE, 0.2%) and Lentinus edodes (LE) powder (0.25%) alone or in combination. Addition of LE powder lower than 0.25% did not affect the product quality and sensory characteristics (p>0.05). However, LFS containing 2% SL in combined with 0.2% GSE inhibited the growth of inoculated Listeria monocytogenes during refrigerated storage for 8 wk. During refrigerated storage, pH decreased until 2 wk of storage and then increased thereafter. In addition, lightness decreased up to the 1st wk and then increased thereafter. However, redness value was the lowest at 8 wk, and expressible moisture (%) was decreased with increased storage time. Purge loss (%) was gradually increased over 8 wk of storage. Microbial counts of Listeria monocytogenes increased as storage time increased. Based on these results, LFS could be manufactured with LE powder (0.25%) and the addition of SL (2%) in combination with GSE (0.2%) inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes during refrigerated storage of LFS.

The characteristics of mash qualities of takju prepared by addition of chestnut peel powder(5%, 10%, 20% and 30% per steamed rice) were investigated during fermentation. That is, in all fermentation periods, changes of pit total acid, organic acids, solids, amino nitrogen, total sugar and reducing sugar, microorganisms, alcohol and color were determined and analyzed. There was significant differences in characteristics of mash qualities by addition of chestnut peel powder. In general, contents of total acid, organic acids, amino nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar and ethanol of takju added with chestnut peel powder were lower than those of steamed rice only, whereas solid contents was higher. But ethanol content of takju added with 5% of chestnut peel powder after 8 days of fermentation was 9.6% which was similar to that of takju prepared by addition of steamed lice only. Also, microbial populations such as total viable cells, yeast and lactic acid bacteria of the treatments were increased to about $10^8CFU/mL$ after 2 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually. In the beginning stage of fermentation color differences value of the treatments were $1.99{\sim}10.27$, and the differentials reduced gradually during fermentation.
