This investigation was undertaken for the purpose of studying the changes of pectic substances in alcohol insoluble solids(AIS) extracted from cucumbers pickled in salt. The preparation methods were brining the cucumbers in 10% NaCl solution (bolied, method A), 20% NaCl solution(bolied, method B) and 20% NaCl solution(cool to $25^{\circ}C$ after boiling, method C). The composition ratio of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) in AIS decreased during brining, while that of 0.4% sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(NaSP) increased remarkably. The contents of Ca and Mg in AIS increased regardless of preparation methods used. By DEAE-cellulose chromatography, HWSP from fresh and brined cucumbers were divided into six fracitons. 0.2M peak was the main fraction in fresh cucumber, whereas 0.05M and 0.2M peak were the main fraction in pickled cucumbers. On the other hands, NaSP from fresh and brined cucumbers were divided into five fractions and 0.4M peak was the main fraction. However, the composition ratios of galacturonic acid and neutral sugar of 0.4M fraction in brined cucumbers were higher than those of fresh cucumber.

The effects of high pressure homogenization (microfluidization) on physicochemical properties of normal maize and oxidized maize starch film were studied. The molecular dispersibility of amlyose and amylopectin and the disintegration of granular structure had a marked effect on the physicochemical properties of starch films. The high pressure homogenized starch films showed increased solubility and transmittance due to the absence of gelatinized starch granules. The tensile strength of starch film increased significantly with decreasing oxygen permeability after high pressure homogenization, indicating that starch molecules were more uniformly and fully dispersed during the film formation. As a result, a clear starch film with improved mechanical properties was obtained after high pressure homogenization due to the increased interactions between the uniformly dispersed starch molecules.

비타민C가 많이 함유되어 있는 감귤류는 과육과 과피에 많은 영양성분을 함유하고 있다. 과육에는 비타민C, 각종 유기산, 비타민B복합체 등이 다량으로 함유되어 있고, 과피에는 펙틴과 비타민C, 베타카로틴 등이 함유되어 있어 암세포의 발달을 억제하고 생리활성물질로 피부노화를 지연시키며 미백효과를 가져다주고 있다. 또한 과피내의 '테레빈유'라는 기름성분으로 세포 노폐물의 배출을 양호하게 하여 다이어트와 복부비만을 억제하는데 좋은 효과가 있다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 감귤류는 다른 과수품종보다 비타민P, 비타민B군과 단백질 등이 많이 함유되어 있어 모세혈관을 보호하며 심혈관질환과 뇌졸중, 뇌출혈 등을 억제하는 효과를 가지고 있다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 유자, 당유자, 청귤, 하귤, 병귤, 사두감, 레몬, 자몽, 오렌지 등의 과피와 과육 추출물로부터 항산화 활성을 조사하였던 바, 대부분의 감귤류에서 좋은 폴리페놀 함량을 보였으며 특히 과피에서 더 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 레몬, 자몽, 당유자, 유자, 청귤 등의 과피에서 과육보다 더 양호한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로 미루어 볼 때 감귤류 과육과 더불어서 과피에서도 매우 양호한 영양성분과 항산화 활성이 있다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In order to enhance the firmness of retorted onion, long time, low temperature blanching(LTLT) in calcium solution was conducted. Pre-heating onion in calcium solution significantly improved its texture after high temperature sterilization as compared to conventional blanching alone. The improvement of the firmness by the LTLT blanching is related to the formation of strongly cross-linkages between carboxyl groups and divalent cations($Ca^{2+}$) by the action of pectin methy-lesterase(PME) in onion. A maximum firmness of retorted onion was obtained at the condition of pre-heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 120min in 0.5%calcium solution. This result supports that the activity of PME and the content of bonded calcium in onion were highest at $70^{\circ}C$. Additionally, the reaction of alkali calcium with various divalent cations such as $Mg^{2+}$ provided a function to hydrolyze pectin molecules, resulting in firmer retorted onion in various calcium agents. Further investigation should be carried out to determine the optimal condition for prevention of tissue softening of various retorted vegetables.

Recently, concerns about the volatile hazardous compounds including acetaldehyde, methanol, and fusel oils in alcoholic beverages, which cause hangover such as headache and dizziness after consumption, have been raised. The volatile hazardous compounds might also lead to an increased incidence of liver diseases and even cancers with a high consumption of alcoholic beverages. Acetaldehyde is a volatile compound naturally found in alcoholic beverages and used as flavor in many foods. However this is also regarded as possibly being carcinogenic to humans. Furthermore, acetaldehyde with alcoholic consumption is recently classified as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans. On the other hand, methanol is generated from demethoxylation of pectin by pectinolytic enzyme during alcoholic fermentation. Higher alcohols occur naturally in alcoholic beverages as by-products of alcoholic fermentation and are generally regarded as important flavor compounds. In the current study, we reviewed on the health concern, maximum levels, analytical methods, and current levels of hazardous volatile compounds in alcoholic beverages.

In the preparation of jam using Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll, effects of food ingredients to the jam rheology were investigated. The paste was prepared by crushing the sporophyll using chopper and homogenizer with 2.5 times water and then it was filtrated before to make a jam. The sporophyll jam was adjusted to 62$^{\circ}$Brix by heating and concentration. It was a similar to the commercial jam in the gel strength. Among the various treatments, the jam prepared with 60% (w/w) sugar, 0.75% (w/w) high methoxy (HM) pectin and 0.3% (w/w) citric acid showed best quality aspects of both texture profile analysis (TPA) and sensory evaluation. Addition of 0,08% (v/w) synthetic strawberry flavor and 0.5% (w/w) cinnamon powder to sporophyll paste gave a good masking effect for the undesirable sea mustard flavor.

Three-day-old sunfower(Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings were do-rooted and incubated in the nutrient solutions that contained either deficient or sufficient boron supply, and exposure to various pH and temperatures. In the absence of boron, no adventitious roots were formed in the majority of the seedlings. Boron caused the development of numerous adventitious roots in the lower part of the hypocotyl. The low pH damage was ameliorated by the simultaneous application of calcium, implying the involvement of calcium-requiring process in overcoming proton toxicity. Borate showed a strong ameliorative effect with $Ca^{2+}$. These results suggest that the primary target of proton toxicity may be linked to a disturbance of the stability in the pectic polysaccharide network, where calcium plays a key role in plant roots. Maximum temperature for the growth of adventitious roots was $25^{\circ}C$. Although cessation of growth is the most apparent symptom of boron deficiency, exogenous ascorbate improved adventitious root growth in plants in the absence of boron. From the results it is suggested that the inhibition of adventitious root resulting from boron deficiency, low pH and temperature damage may be a consequence of disrupted ascorbate metabolism.

Puchu (Allium odorum L.) Kimchi was prepared in 5 different conditions and the color(chlorophyll and carotenoids) and textural properties were measured during fermentation up to 43 days at 10$^{\circ}C$. The 5 preparation conditions which varied depending upon the sub-ingredients were as follows: to add salt (treatment A), soybean sauce(treatment B), soybean sauce and perilla seed powder (treatment C), anchovy sauce(treatment D), and anchovy sauce and glutinous rice paste(treatment E). Residual contents of chlorophyll and carotenoid decreased with the lapse of fermentation time, especially in treatments D and E. Value“a”indicating the degree of greenness in Hunter's color value decreased with the lapse of fermentation time, especially in treatment E. The contents of total soluble pectin and total soluble solid increased during fermentation.

Fully or nearly fully 6- [4- (4'- (nitrophenylazo)phenoxycarbonyl)]pentanoated polysaccharide derivatives were synthesized by reacting cellulose, amylose, chitosan, chitin, alginic acid, pullulan or amylopectin with 6- [4- (4'- (nitrophenylazo)phenoxy) ] pentanoyl chloride (NA6C) and their thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviors were investigated. Like in the case of NA6C, all the polysaccharide derivatives formed monotropic nematic phases, suggesting that the mesophase structure of the polysaccharide derivatives is dertermined by the mesogenic side groups and not by the polysaccharide backbone. This is the first report of polysaccharide derivatives, except cellulose derivative, that form thermotropic nematic phases. The thermal stability and degree of order of the nematic phases observed for poly saccharide derivatives were significantly different from those reported for the polymers in which the azobenzene groups are attached to flexible or rigid backbones through flexible spacers. The results were discussed in terms of the difference in the arrangement of the main and side chains and the flexibility of the main chain.
