Ganoderma lucidum produced the potent pectolytic enzymes for clarifying cloudy fruit juice. Among the purified polygalacturonases (endo- and exo-polygalacturonase), endo-polygalacturonase had a good effect on juice clarification. The optimum temperature and concentration of endo-polygalacturonase for the juice clarification were $40^{\circ}C$ and 4 unit/5 ml juice, respectively. The apple juice was almost completely clarified at $40^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. It was suggested that culture filtrate of Ganoderma lucidum or it's ammonium sulfate fraction should be used as a good source of pectolytic enzyme for juice clarification.

This study aimed to develop an optimal processing method for the production of apple-mango jelly for domestic suppliers, by analyzing the quality attributes of the jelly. According to the central composite design, a total of 11 experimental points were designed including the content of apple-mango juice (X₁), and the sugar content (X₂). The responses were analyzed including the color values (CIE Lab and color difference), physicochemical properties (water activity, sweetness, pH, and total acidity), and textural properties (hardness and gel strength). Regression analysis was conducted, except for total acidity, and showed no significant difference for all the experimental points (p<0.05). Quadratic model was derived for all responses with an R square value ranging from 0.8590 to 0.9978. Based on regression model, the appropriate mixing ratio of apple-mango jelly was found to be 31.11% of apple mango juice and 14.65% of sugar. Through this study, the possibility for developing jelly product using apple-mango was confirmed, and it is expected that these findings will contribute to the improvement of the agricultural industry.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of apple and maltitol as ingredients on the quality of Jochung, a grain syrup. Four kinds of Jochung products were prepared from steamed-rice, apple juice, heated-apple sarcocarp (at $70^{\circ}C$, 60 min), and a mixture (sarcocarp : maltitol＝5:1, w/w) by saccharifying (at $55^{\circ}C$, 8 hrs) with a malt (100 g/500 g rice), mixing the ingredients (steamed-rice : ingredient＝5:5, w/w), filtering, and heating the filtrate (at $95^{\circ}C$, 2 hrs): product (A) with apple juice added before saccharified, product (B) with apple juice added after saccharified, product (C) with heated-apple sarcocarp added after saccharified, and product (D) with the mixture added after saccharified. The product (D) had the lowest pH value ($4.60\pm0.01$) of any other products. The contents of reducing sugar and total phenolic compound were the highest in the product (A) among all the products, which comprised $68.10\pm6.71$% and $7.36\pm0.85$ mg/g, respectively, resulting in good quality. The solidity and the dextrose equivalence had the highest value in the product (B) and the product (C), respectively. The malic acid content ($4.10\pm0.02$%) of the product (D) was the highest of any other organic acids identified by HPLC. Hunter L, a, and b values of the product (D) were the highest compared to other products. In sensory evaluation, the product (A) had generally higher score in all sensory attributes. It was concluded from the chemical and sensory evaluation that adding the apple juice before saccharified might be an effective method for manufacturing good quality rice-Jochung.

Seven brands of commercial apple juice in Korea obtained from local stores were analyzed for patulin. Sep-Pak silica cartridge purification of the extract by ethyl acetate offered a good separation of patulin from other components. Patulin was determined by reverse phase liquid chromatography using a J'sphere $4\;{\mu}m$ ODS-H80 column with an ultraviolet detector set at 274 nm. Patulin concentrations in four samples ranged from 4 to $20\;{\mu}g/L$ and the other three samples from 30 to $45\;{\mu}g/L$. The limit of detection was $3\;{\mu}g/L$, and the recovery was $80{\sim}90%$ at the contamination level of $3.78{\sim}125.9\;{\mu}g/L$.

Most of countries differ from their favors, in Taiwan fruit juice and sweet taste are emphasized while external appearance in Japan. During transportation, movement of the container, fluctuation of temperature, decrease of the fruit freshness and undesirable packing materials tend to decline fruit marketability. For these problems, it is believed that shortening of boarding time by utilization of plate and styro form box for packing, the author believed.

As a part of experiments aimed to reduce the acidic taste of a soured fruit wine, a selected yeast strain was studied on its morphological and physiological properties as well as its fermentative characteristics of apple wine. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The selected yeast strain was identified as a strain of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. 2. The tolerance of the strain to metabisulfite in apple juice was stronger than that of wine yeast. 3. The growth rate of the strain was more rapid than those of wine yeast and Sake yeast when cultured in apple juice at $25^{\circ}C$, but it was decreased below the levels of others when cultured at $15^{\circ}C$. 4. The levels of ethanol production and acid reduction by the strain were high when the apple wine brewed at $25^{\circ}C$, while these were dropped significantly at $15^{\circ}C$.

Clarification of the juice extracted from stored Fuji apples was studied with pectolytic enzyme and pH control, separately and in combinations. In the separated treatment, the clarity of the juice was increased with the treated enzyme amount. The juice adjusted pH to 3.5 with malic acid had the highest clarity in pH range from 3.5 to 5.0, but this juice was not acceptable because of high acidity. In combination of the two treatment, the clarity of the juice treated with the enzyme at pH 4.0 was higher than that of the juice without the enzyme, and the juice with ligh trasmittance of about 92% could be obtained at the pH by addition with one-third amount of enzyme which was used for clarification of the juice extracted from the fresh apples at harvesting season.

The internal breakdown of Fuji apple during CA storage classified as watercore breakdown, low temperature breakdown and CO2 injury. This study was undertaken to investigate the watercore breakdown injury factors of Korean Fuji apple during CA storage. The development of internal breakdown was more increased with the larger size, the later harvest time and the hither CO2 gas level. But in internal breakdown fruit of the titratable acidity and soluble solid decreased significantly, the pH of fruit juice and the production of carbon dioxide was greatly increased. The best gas levels of CA storage was 2% oxygen and 3% carbon dioxide. Thus, the predictable parameters of internal breakdown of fruit were increase in pH on decrease titratable acidity within 2 months of CA storage, increase carbon dioxide. So, it was found that the best CA sotrage for internal breakdown control of fruit during CA storage was delayed CA storage methods after low temperature storage immediate harvest of apple and than took a step. The delayed CA storage after low temperature storage for 2 months was more effective in the prevention of development of internal breakdown than immediate CA storage after harvest.

Lactobacillus plantarum is widely found in fermented foods and has various phenotypic and genetic characteristics to adapt to the environment. Here we report the complete annotated genome sequence of the L. plantarum strain JBE245 (= KCCM43243) isolated for malolactic fermentation of apple juice. The genome comprises a single circular 3,262,611 bp chromosome with 2907 coding regions, 45 pseudogenes, and 91 RNA genes. The genome contains 4 malate dehydrogenase genes, 3 malate permease genes and various types of plantaricin-synthesizing genes. These genetic traits meet the selection criteria of the strains that should prevent the spoilage of apple juice during fermentation and efficiently convert malate to lactic acid.
