'Yeonjami' is a new sweetpotato variety developed for table use by Bioenergy Crop Research Center, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA in 2008. This variety was selected from the cross between 'Ayamurasakki' and 'Poly Cross' in 2000, and seedling and line selections were practiced from 2001 to 2003. Preliminary and advanced yield trials were carried out from 2004 to 2005. The regional yield trials were conducted at six locations from 2006 to 2008. 'Yeonjami' has cordate leaf, green vine and petiole, long elliptic storage root, purple skin and light purple flesh color of storage root. The average yield of storage root was 25.9 ton/ha in the regional yield trials, which was 15% higher than that of 'Sinjami' variety. Number of storage roots over 50 gram per plant was 2.9, and the average weight of one storage root was 153 gram. This variety was partly-resistant to Fusarium wilt and nematode. In addition, steamed 'Yeonjami' has higher polyphenol contents as 139.6 mg/100 g and higher biological activities as, which may improve the bioactivity in human.

Virus-associated immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) can occur following common viruses, but cases of ITP associated with influenza infection has seldom been reported. In this report we describe a previously healthy 5-year-old boy who admitted with fever, flu-like symptoms and a few bruises on both legs. Severe thrombocytopenia were found. Bone marrow aspirates and biopsy showed no abnormalities and results of coagulation tests were all in normal limit. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was positive for influenza B infection. The patient fully recovered with intravenous immunoglobulins and steroid therapy.

Antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts from 2 colored sweet potatoes such as purple and yellow, 5 pale yellow sweet potatoes, and 8 general cultivars of sweet potato were investigated. Colored sweet potatoes showed the highest antioxidative activity, followed by Saengmi and Yeonmi, which were pale yellow sweet potato cultivars, and Hwangmi, which was a general cultivar of sweet potato. Colored sweet potatoes also showed distinctively lower mold and surface microbial number (cfu) than the pale yellow sweet potatoes and the general cultivars of sweet potato. Although all sweet potatoes tested did not represent any antimicrobial activity against yeast and mold, they exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus faecalis. Especially, purple and yellow sweet potatoes showed antimicrobial activity against wide range of bacteria.

Taste components of traditional kochujang prepared with various raw materials, were investigated during 90 days of fermentation. The major free sugars, maltose and glucose, were higher in malt added kochujang than others. The major organic acids of kochujang were succinic and citric acids, followed by formic acid. The contents of succinic acid in the kochujang decreased during fermentation, whereas that of citric acid increased. Purple sweet potato kochujang was highest in total free amino acids. The major free amino acids were glutamic acid, serine and aspartic acid. They remarkably increased during fermentation. Among the nucleotides and their related components in kochujang, cytidine-5-monophosphate was the most abundant component at the beginning of aging period, while hypoxanthine increased remarkably during fermentation. Kochujang prepared with purple sweet potato Chinese matrimony vine contained higher amounts of organic acids and nucleotides than the others.

Performance of pilot plant scale extraction and concentration of purple-fleshed sweet potato anthocyanin pigment was tested and the characteristics of pigment extracts and concentrates were investigated. Fifty kilograms of purple-fleshed sweet potato was extracted with 500 L of 1% citric acid in 20% ethanol. As a whole, extraction pattern of the large scale extraction was similar to that of the laboratory scale extraction. The extracted pigment solution was filtered twice with a bag filter and a winding type microfilter and the filtrate was concentrated by a large scale vacuum evaporator at $40^{\circ}C$ and 600 mmHg vac. The mean values of total optical density (TOD) of the extract and the concentrate were 6.53 and 120.45, respectively. Browning index (BI) and Degradation index (DI) of extract were 5.86 and 1.55 and those of concentrate were 5.89 and 1.56, respectively, which indicated that the pigments were not changed or degraded through the extraction and concentration process.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of noodle added freeze-dried purple sweet potato powder. For Hunter's color resulted, as the amount of purple sweet potato powder increased, L-value and b-value decreased, the a-value increased. Anthocyanin contents of purple sweet potato powder at concentration of (mg/100 g) were 99.62%. DPPH radical scavenging activities of purple swe et potato powder at concentration of $1,000{\mu}L/mL$ were 84.60%. The texture of cooked noodles appeared no significant differences in cohesiveness, Springiness, Hardness, Gumminess and Chewiness decreased as the am ount of purple sweet potato powder increased. The weight, volume, moisture contents of noodles were not significantly. Sensory evaluation of acceptability including color, aroma, taste, chewiness and overall-acceptabi lity appeared the 6% added group was the best for higher. According to the positively evaluated anthocyanin content, DPPH radical scavenging activities, quality characteristics and sensory evaluation, a purple sweet pota to powder content 6% appears to be most appropriate.

The effect of puffing conditions on the physical properties and sensory evaluations of a puffed snack (ppeongtuigi) made of purple sweet potato flour was investigated. The snacks consisted of coated artificial rice with purple sweet potato flour with water, tempered to 7%, 9% and 11% moisture. The coated material was puffed at 236, 241, or $246^{\circ}C$ for 4, 5, or 6 s. The $L^*$ value decreased as the heating time increased. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values, specific volume, and hardness increased with increasing heating temperature and heating time. Puffed snacks produced under conditions of higher moisture (7%), higher heating temperature ($246^{\circ}C$), or longer heating time (5 s) showed high scores for appearance, color, taste, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluations.
