This study was designed to examine changes in the physicochemical properties of extruded corn fibers with different amounts of feed moisture (30, 40, and 50%). The screw speed and die temperature were fixed to 200 rpm and $140^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude ash, fat, and protein in corn fiber decreased from the extrusion process. The insoluble dietary fiber in corn fibers decreased, while soluble dietary fiber increased at a feed moisture of 30%. The specific length of the extruded corn fiber increased while the specific mechanical energy input, density, breaking strength, and elastic modulus decreased. The water absorption index (WAI) and reducing sugar content of the corn fibers did not significantly change, but the water soluble index (WSI) decreased as the feed moisture content of the corn fiber increased. On the other hand, the WAI of de-starched corn fiber decreased while WSI and reducing sugars increased as the feed moisture content of the corn fiber increased.

In order to utilize Citrus peel as fermentative substrate of microorganisms, enzymatic saccharification of Citrus peel by the crude enzyme of Aspergillus sp. GF 015 isolated and identified from nature was investigated. When the fungus was cultured at $27^{\circ}C$ for 3 days in wheat bran medium containing 0.6% $NH_4NO_3$ and 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, the maximal production of the enzyme was observed. Optimal conditions for enzymatic reaction of crude enzyme were 15ml(97.5 unit)/g of enzyme solution to Citrus peel powder ratio, pH4.0, $45^{\circ}C$ of temperature and 12 hours of reaction time. As the result of saccharifying Citrus peel under optimum conditions, reducing sugar on the weight of dry matter was formed 60.2% and saccharifying rate was 76.3%. The sugar solution obtained were mainly composed of glucose, xylose and galacturonic acid. Hydrolyzing enzymes produced by Aspergillus sp. GF 015 were pectinase, cellulase and xylanase.

The carbohydrate characteristics and storability of two Korean traditional confections Seban-kangjeong (a Korean fried waxy-rice cookie) and starch-dashik (a Korean pressed starch cookie) were studied as compared with two Western confections fried cookie and biscuit. Seban-kangjeong showed lower contents of starch and sucrose and higher content of reducing sugar whereas starch-dashik showed higher contents of starch and sucrose and lower content of reducing sugar. Moisture content was higher in Korean confections than in Western confections. The degree of gelatinization was higher in Seban-kangjeong and fried cookie which were made through a frying process. Moisture adsorption isotherms were constructed for the four products. In storage test for 6 months under different temperature and humidity conditions, the relative humidity maintaining the initial moisture content of products was 68% for Seban-kangjeong and starch-dashik and 20% for fried cookie and biscuit. The ratio of retrogradation in storage was 15% in Seban-kangjeong, 20% in starchdashik and 28% in fried cookie and biscuit, showing the lowest progress in freezer storage.

This study was carried out to examine the quality characteristics of soybean pastes made of Meju with mold-producing pretense isolated from traditional Meju. The changes in moisture content, enzyme activity (amylase, protease, lipase), reducing sugar, amino-type nitrogen contents and anti-oxidant activity were investigated during the aging period. The moisture contents decreased gradually with time. Amylase activity decreased during the aging period while pretense and lipase activities increased until 30-45 days of aging, but decreased thereafter, Especially pretense activity in soybean paste with mold was greater than that in the control. Amino-type nitrogen and ammoniacal nitrogen contents increased, but reducing sugar contents decreased with time. Amino-type nitrogen contents were greater in soybean paste made of Meju with isolated mold than those in the control. Antioxidative activity was also confirmed in soybean paste.

The content of reducing sugars and sucroses was increased by cold- and PA-treatment in cotyledons of spring radish. But in cotyledons of fall radish, the content of reducing sugars, and sucroses was increased by cold treatment but was not increased by cold- and PA-treatment. Total free amino acids in cotyledons of spring radish were increased by cold treatment, but were not increased in cotyledons of fall radish. The results show that cold sensitive spring radishes were adapted by regulating of cellular osmosis and show that the physiological and biochemical metabolism of spring radish was much different from the fall radish. We report first that polyamine has synergetic effect with cold stress on cotyledons of spring radish, but not on cotyledons of fall radish.

Ginseng saponins and proximate components were considerably resistant to both gamma irradiation at less than 10 kGy and commercial ethylene oxide cycle, while sulfur-containing amino acids, reducing sugar, pH, and acidity of white ginseng powder were significantly changed by EO fumigation. The contents of saponins, reducing sugar, pH and acidity were relatively liable to change under the higher relative humidity (90%), especially in the non-treated control sample. However, irradiated samples at optimum-dose range (5 to 10 kGy) depending on the microbial load following airtight packaging showed a good chemical quality for 7 months of storage at $30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ irrespective of relative humidity.

Breads were prepared with the addition of sprouted brown rice flour(SBRF) as a funtional ingredient up to 50%, and their quality characteristics were evaluated through analyses of proximate composition amino acid by HPLC, fatty acid by GC, and sensory evaluation. The optimum amount of SBRF for bread preparation was 30%(w/w). The more SBRF was added, the greater the proximate components such as ash, crude protein, crude fat, fiber and amino acid content were, although the baking quality such as volume decreased. The results of sensory evaluation for bread showed that the more SBRF was added, the lower the scores of color, appearance. texture and the feelings in the mouth were, but the higher the score of taste.

Physicochemical characteristics of kochujang prepared with addition of garlic and onion, were investigated for 22 weeks of fermentation to obtain information on improving the quality of traditional kochujang. Moisture contents of kochujang increased during fermentation, but total nitrogen contents decreased slightly. The pH and titratable acidity of kochujang changed a little by addition of garlic or onion. Total sugar contents of kochujang decreased rapidly after 4 weeks, but reducing sugar contents increased until 2 weeks of fermentation. As the ratio of garlic increased, reducing sugar contents decreased. Ethanol contents increased during fermentation as mixing ratio of onion increased. Amino nitrogen contents of kochujang increased as mixing ratio of garlic or onion increased, but ammonia nitrogen contents decreased. Water activities of kochujang decreased slightly during fermentation, but consistency increased until 18 weeks. The color values of garlic or onion added kochujang were low in the L-values, but a- and b-values increased. Results of sensory evaluation showed garlic added$(2{\sim}4%)$ kochujang were more acceptable than onion added kochujang due to more favorable taste and flavor.
