We investigated eight active natural antimicrobials for preservation of functional beverages that are usually degraded by yeasts rather than by bacteria due to a high sugar content and a low pH. Five strains of yeasts (S. cerevisiae, Z. bailii, P. membranaefaciens, C. albicans, and P Anomala) were tested with eight natural antimicrobial agents ($\varepsilon$-polylysine, yucca extract, vitamin $B_1$ derivative, scutellaria baicalensis extract, chitooligosaccharid, allyl isothiocyanate, sucrose-fatty acid ester, and oligosaccharide). The lowest minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were 10 ppm for oligosaccharide and sucrose-fatty acid ester against S. cerevisiae and Z. bailii, 10 ppm for allyl isothiocynate against P. membranaefaciens and C. albican, and 10 ppm for allyl isothiocynate and oligosaccharide against P. anomala. No growth were observed for five kinds of yeasts in functional beverages containing sodium benzonate at concentration of 0.015% or higher. The resistance of S. cerevisiae, Z. bailii, and P. Anomala against natural antimicrobial agents was lower than those of P. membranaefaciens and C. albican. Allyl isothiocyanate, oligosaccharide, and sucrose-fatty acid ester showed the highest antimicrobial activities among the eight tested antimicrobials. These results can be applied to develop new natural antimicrobial agents to improve microbial quality of functional beverages.

A domestic wheat variety (Geurumil flour) was evaluated for the properties of white layer cake, and compared to a commercial soft wheat flour. Geurumil flour contained more protein, ash, and lipid contents than commercial soft wheat flour. Very little difference in cake batter pH was observed between soft wheat flour and Geurumil flour, and the addition of emulsifiers tended to decrease the pH of Geurumil cake batter The specific gravity of the cake batter was lower in Geurumil flour than in soft wheat flour, and decreased effectively by the addition of emulsifiers due to batter aeration. Specific loaf volume was influenced by the addition of emulsifiers and demonstrated the highest values at the level of 1 ~ 2%. Addition of Ester-400 (monoglyceride) showed better cake properties in terms of volume, symmetry and uniformity index than sucrose-fatty acid ester did, and thus appeared to be more effective in improving baking performance. The changes in firmness of cakes during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were observed, and Ester-400 showed some Positive effects on retarding cake staling.

The effects of sucrose fatty acid ester (SE, 1% w/w) and glycerin (GL, 1% v/w) additions, storage temperature$(0,\;20\;and\;70^{\circ}C)$, and time $(0{\sim}6\;day)$ on texture properties, hardness(H), cohesiveness(O), chewiness(C) and rheological property(R) of Baikseolgi were studied. The H of Baikseolgi increased sharply in the early stage of storage at 0 and $20^{\circ}C$, while increased gently at $70^{\circ}C$ with increasing storage time. After 6 days of storage, the H of Baikseolgi at $20^{\circ}C$ had a little lower than that at $0^{\circ}C$. However, the H of Baikseolgi at $70^{\circ}C$ was 10.7% of that at $0^{\circ}C$. The addition of GL had greater effect on the reduction of H than that of SE. The H of control, SE and GL additions were 336, 216 and $$174\;g_f, respectively, after 6 days at $70^{\circ}C$. The O of Baikseolgi at $70^{\circ}C$ were higher than those at $0^{\circ}C$. The O of GL added Baikseolgi had the highest value and the second and the third were SE added and control, respectively. The O of Baikseolgi decreased with increasing storage time. The C of Baikseolgi of increased with increasing storage time, which had similar curve patterns to the H of Baikseolgi. Instantaneous stress and equilibrium stress of Baikseolgi decreased with increasing storage temperature. The affection of viscous element increased and that of elastic element decreased with increasing storage temperature.

The quality of Injulmi, waxy rice cake is affected by milling methods. varieties. additives, steeping condition before milling and the texture properties during storage. Sinsunchalbyeo and Hwasunchalbyeo flours were made using pin-dry milling(PDM) and roller-wet milling( RWM) methods. Injulmi was made from those flours with different sugars, sucrose, maltose. oligosaccharide, and were measured textural properties of Injulmi stored at 2 $0^{\circ}C$ for 0, 12, 36 and 60 hrs, respectively. The hardness of sucrose added to injulmi made from PDM flour was the highest among any other sugars, but Injulmi from RWM flour was increased in the following order sucrose>maltose>oligosaccharide>non - added Injulmi. Adhesiveness of none added Injulmi were the lowest among sugar added Injulmi including, oligosaccharide, maltose and sucrose added Injulmi.

To evaluate the effects of sucrose-fatty acid ester (SE) on bread-making characteristics, the dough mixing, gelatinization, baking properties with the addition of SE alone and together with other surfactants were investigated. SE increased the peak time and the peak height in mixogram, indicating that it contributed the elasticity of dough. In farinogram, SE increased the peak time and mechanical tolerance index, but reduced the dough stability. SE increased the peak viscosity and reduced the gelatinization temperature and maximum consistency temperature in amylogram. SE increased the specific volume of bread loaf and retarded the increase in hardness of bread during storage, showing its anti-staling effects. The maximum anti-staling effect of SE was observed at 0.5% level. The addition of SE (0.2%), SSL (0.15%) and ES-95 (0.15%) blend showed the maximum specific loaf volume, and that of SE (0.25%) and SSL (0.25%) did the maximum anti-staling effect.

For the production of riboflavin, strain development of Ashbya gossypii NRRL Y-1056 was attempted by NTG(N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidne) treatment. The optimum composition of culture medium and other culture conditions for the production of riboflavin by selected mutant Ashbya gossypii JAG-13 were determined. The optimum composition of medium was 9% of corn oil, 3% of gellatone, 4% of CSL, 0.3% of glycine, 0.2% of S770. The optimum culture temperature and initial pH of medium was $28^{\circ}C$ and 6.5, respectively. oxygen was essential for the production of riboflavin, but excess oxygen inhibit the production of riboflavin. When Ashbya gossypii JAG-13 was cultured under above conditions for 12 days with a bioreactor, 6.9 mg/ml of riboflavin was produced.

The effect of emulsion treatment on the separation of quick-cooking rice kernel after drying and the quality of reconstituted quick-cooking rice made of a Japonica variety were investigated. Among the several stages of emulsion treatment tested, immersion of cooked rice before drying was the most effective on the separation index. Immersion condition of 3 min at $30^{\circ}C$ was found to be the most desirable. Emulsion composed of 5% soybean oil and 0.5% sucrose fatty acid ester (HLB : 9.5) was found to be the most effective to yield the separation index of 86%. By applying the above mentioned emulsion, the separation index was improved by 30 compared with untreated one. The quality of the quick-cooking rice manufactured by the emulsion treatment was found to be as good as untreated one.

The effects of storage temperature, moisture content and the concentration of additives, such as sucrose fatty acid ester(SE), isomaltooligosaccharide(IO) and glycerin(GL), on texture properties, hardness(HA), cohesiveness(CO) and chewiness(CH) of Baikseolgi after 7 days storage were analyzed by response surface methodology(RSM). The contour values of HA of SE added Baikseolgi at 20, 50 and $80^{\circ}C$ of storage temperate were $1500{\sim}3200,\;500{\sim}1300$ and $100{\sim}400\;g_f$, respectively. The HA of IO or GL added Baikseolgi decreased with increased storage temperature, moisture content and additive concentration. The storage temperature was the most significant factor affecting the HA of Baikseolgi. However, the second and third significant factors were moisture content and additive concentration, respectively. These results imply that the control of storage temperature is the most effective method to increase the storage stability of Baikseolgi. The CO of IO or GL added Baikseolgi was increased by the change of strage temperature from $20{\circ}\;to\;50{\circ}$. While, there was no significant difference between $50{\circ}\;and\;80{\circ}$ of storage temperature. The CO of IO or GL added Baikseolgi was maximized around 40% of moisture content and that of GL added Baikseolgi was minimized around 0.5% of GL concentration. The storage temperature, additive concentration and moisture content were the first, second and third affacing factors on the CO of Baikseolgi, respectively. The CH of Baikeolgi was decreased by increasing storage temperature, moisture content and additive concentration. The storage temperature, moisture content and additive concentration were the first, second and third affacting factors on the CH of Baikseolgi, respectively.

The effect of sucrose fatty acid ester(SE,{\;}$0{\sim}5%,{\;}w/w)$ and oligosaccharide(OS,{\;}$0{\sim}1.0%,{\;}w/w)$ additions on texture properties, hardness(H), stickiness(-H), stickiness/hardness(-H/H) and elastic recovery (b/a) of cooked rice stored at $20^{\circ}C$ were studied. The H of stored cooked rice decreased with increasing storage time. The addtion of SE and OS showed lower H value than control throughout the storage period up to 12hrs and after 8hrs of storage time, respectively. The -H of stored cooked rice increased with increasing storage time. The -H value of SE added cooked rice showed much lower than that of the control in the early stage of the storage and then almost the same value as that of control. The control and SE or OS added cooked rice resulted the value of -H/H between 0.15 and 0.20, which had been found as acceptable textural parameters, after 10hrs of storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The b/a of stored cooked rice decreased with increasing storage time, but was not significantly affected by additives. After 15 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, the addition of SE had greater effect on the reduction of hardness of stored cooked rice than that of OS.
