Amethysts were grown hydrothemally. The origin of amethyst color is iron center, which is developed by correlation between Fe3+(substitutional) and Fe3+ (interstitial)1). Crackless amethysts without smoky centers were grown only from major (1011) and minor (1101) seeds on K2c03 solutions. The violet color of amethyst depended on both iron concentration and amount of irradiation of r-ray. Increasing the iron concentration resulted in the deep violet color. Also amethysts color were changed to dark proportional to amount of irradiation. From visible spectra it was found that increasing the amount of irradiation affected not the character of individual iron center but the total number of iron centers.

Kinetic parameters on heat-induced color changes of anthocyanin pigment from purple sweet potato were determined in the temperature range of $121{\sim}141^{\circ}C$. Color change determined by a browning index $(A_{532}\;nm/A_{420}\;nm)$ followed second order reaction kinetics. Activation energy values of purple sweet potato pigment solutions of pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 were 69.57, 76.68, 81.07 and 92.98 kJ/mol, respectively, indicating that temperature dependency of the reaction increased with pH. Apparent kinetic compensation effect between preex-ponential factor and activation energy value was observed.

Lactic fermented dongchimi naengmyeun broth which has enhanced antioxidative activity was developed. During lactic fermentation of dongchimi naengmyeun broth at $25^{\circ}C$, changes of total lactic acid bacteria, pH, acidity, soluble phenolics, and anthocyanins were investigated. After 72 h of fermentation, the stronger antioxidant activities were observed in dongchimi naengmyeun broth supplemented with purple sweet potato than those of control dongchimi naengmyeun broth which showing 96.80% in DPPH radical scavenging activity, 100.82% in $ABTs^{+{\cdot}}$ scavenging activity, 7.77 in reducing power, and 6.89 in ferric reducing/antioxidant power, respectively. These high antioxidant activities related with higher contents of soluble phenolics and anthocyanins in dongchimi naengmyeun broth supplemented with purple sweet potato. The results suggest that the making of functional dongchimi naengmyeun broth by using high soluble phenolics and anthocyanins supplements such as purple sweet potato powder was possible.

The South Korean hermit beetle has previously been identified as Osmoderma opicum, which is distributed in Japan. Because of its rarity, this species is classified as an endangered species. To date, however, the identity of this species in South Korea has not been conclusively confirmed. To assess the taxonomic status of the hermit beetle occurring in South Korea, we performed a comparative study with the beetle's Eurasian congeners, based on morphological examination and molecular analysis using COI gene sequences. The results clearly showed that the South Korean hermit beetle is identical to Osmoderma caeleste, which has been described from the Russian Far East. Therefore, we suggest that the taxonomic identity of the South Korean hermit beetle is O. caeleste.

Callus induction using leaf of purple sweetpotato (PSP) was decreased when subcultured. So we selected habituated callus in MS medium supplemented with $1{\mu}M\;2,4-D$ (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) after 6 months of cultures (without subculture). It grew faster and easier than any other callus. It was able to proliferate in MS hormone free solid and liquid medium without any growth regulators and subculture limits. During subculture in liquid medium, a purple mottled spot formed in one of habituated cell aggregates without any treatment. This purple cell aggregates were carefully separated from habituated cell aggregates, and then subcultured by selecting purple cell aggregates for more than 2 years to be isolated. The color value of the pigment extracted of culture was 1.0 mg/mL, which was close to that of a pigment extracted from storage root, which was 1.5 mg/mL. This purple cell aggregates could therefore be used for the industrial mass production of anthocyanin.

Growth characteristics and changes of pigment content of purple sweet potato (PSP) during growth were investigated. Vine length of PSP was increased to the maximum length of 130 cm after 100 days of growth. Numbers of branches and nodes were increased to the maximum of 21and 550, respectively, after 120 days of growth. Vine weight was also increased to the maximum of 4,384 kg/10a after 120 days of growth, while the weight of marketable root was increased continuously to the end of the growth period of 150 days to reach the production of 1,875 kg/10a. Uniquely considerable amount of anthocyanin pigment has been developed in both skin and flesh of young roots harvested after 40 days of growth. The pigment content was increased slowly until 140 days of growth then decreased. This fact indicates that the best time for harvesting of PSP is 140 days after planting.

Effect of EDTA, gallic acid, phosphoric acid, propyl gallate and sodium ascorbate on the photostability of anthocyanin extracted from purple-fleshed sweet potato were investigated by measuring the absorbance at 530 nm with a spectrophotometer. White light of 20,000 lux was used to illuminate the pigment and the temperature was $20^{\circ}C$. EDTA and sodium ascorbate were more effective in improving the photostability of the pigment when added at least 100 or 1,000 ppm, respectively.

Studies on extraction and color characteristics of purple sweet potato (PSP) pigment were performed to provide the basic information for the utilization of PSP as a new source of natural food colorant. PSP pigment was extracted well with the polar solvents such as distilled water, ethanol, and methanol. but hardly extracted with the non-polar solvents. Among the tested solvents, 20% ethanol solution containing 0.1% citric acid was found to be the most efficient for extraction of the pigment from PSP. PSP contained high amount of pigment not only in the epidermis but also in the flesh of the potato. The PSP pigment was heat stable even under pretreatments such as autoclaving and blanching of the potato before extraction. The optimum temperature of the extraction for the PSP Pigment was decided to be $30^{\circ}C$ by considering the stability and the rate of extraction. The pigment was markedly influenced by the change of pH. The color of the pigment solution was red at the pH range of $1.0{\sim}3.0$, became blue at $7.0{\sim}8.0$, then turned green at $9.0{\sim}10.0$. A characteristic batho-chromic shift of the pigment solution was observed as the pH of the solution increased.

Light plays an important role in fruit-body development and morphology during Pleurotus spp. cultivation. To understand the effects of light color on fruit-body properties, we evaluated the fruit-body characteristics of Pleurotus spp. Varieties cultivated under blue, red, and purple LED light sources. The main results are as follows: The overall fruit-body shape showed differences depending on the color of the LED light. The fruit-bodies of mushroom cultivated under blue and purple light were generally similar to the mushroom shapes typically produced, while those of mushroom cultivated under green light were abnormally shaped, probably due to the absence of effective light source. The average cap lightness of mushrooms cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED lights was 57.0, 57.4, and 59.4, respectively. The average cap lightness of all varieties except Wonhyeong1ho and Hwang-geumsantari cultivated under the three LED light sources were statistically significantly different (P<0.05). The cap redness varied significantly depending on the LED lighting and variety. Only Gonji7hoM, the cap color mutant of Gonji7ho, showed negative cap redness values under all three LED light sources. Among the eight varieties excluding Gonji7ho, the highest cap redness was observed when cultivated under the blue LED. The average harvest weight of the varieties cultivated under purple, blue, and green LED light were 68.0, 58.3, and 50.1 g, respectively. The yield of Gonji7ho, the mushroom variety with the highest yield, cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED light were 92.8, 77.1, and 98.6 g, respectively. The earliness when grown under the purple, blue, and green LED lights were 5.3, 5.8, and 5.8 days, respectively. Among the varieties, six, three, and two cultivars showed the shortest earliness under the purple, green, and blue LED, respectively. The fruit-body lengths were 66.4, 51.8, and 46.8 mm when cultivated under green, purple, and blue lights, respectively. These results are expected to serve as a foundation for producing mushrooms with traits demanded in the market.
