Studies on extraction and color stability of carotenoids from astringent persimmon(Diospyros kaki) were performed to provide the basic information for the utilization of persimmon pigment as a new source of natural food colorant. The major carotenoids in astringent persimmon were beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and beta-carotene. Beta-cryptoxanthin was the first major pigment and lycopene the next. Total carotenoid content in persimmon calculated as beta-carotene equivalent was 107.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g. The data indicated that the astringent persimmon was a good source of carotenoid pigment. The physical and chemical stabilities of carotenoid from astringent persimmon were investigated at various conditions of temperature, pH and antioxidant. The effects of oxygen and light on the stability of carotenoid pigment has been investigated. The factors that cause the discoloration were visible light, temperature above 60, pH below 5 and oxygen. Especially, the carotenoid pigment was very sensitive to light and oxygen. Carotenoid stability was much improved with increasing nitrogen concentration in the atmosphere. Persimmon pigments have been found to be most stable at 5∼10. And tocopherol was the most effective inhibitor of the pigment discoloration.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum amount of astringent persimmon concentrate to add to rice(polished rice, brown rice, and black rice) flour in the preparation of GamJeopyeon (persimmon rice cake). The moisture contents of polished rice, brown rice, and black rice persimmon Jeolpyeon were 50.37${\sim}$51.65%, 49.52${\sim}$52.44%, and 48.82${\sim}$51.87%, respectively. With increasing astringent persimmon content, the L value of all of the Jeolpyeon decreased, whereas the values of polished rice and brown rice persimmon Jeolpyeon increased. The b values of polished rice, brown rice, and black rice persimmon Jeolpyeon were the highest at addition levels of 8%, 4%, and 12%, respectively. In the mechanical textural evaluation, the hardness of polished rice and brown rice, persimmon Jeolpyeon decreased with increasing astringent persimmon concentrate content during storage time, and was the highest at the 0% addition level in black rice Jeolpyeon after 2 days storage. In the sensory evaluation, the overall acceptability of polished rice, brown rice, and black rice persimmon Jeolpyeon was higher at 4, 8, 12, and 16% compared to the 0% addition level. According to the above study. Jelopyeon made with the addition of up to 16% astringent persimmon concentrate to polished rice, brown rice, and black rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of overall acceptability and textural qualities.

The essential oil of astringent persimmon leaves was extracted by a gas co-distillation method and its effects on Kimchi fermentation were examined. The changes of pH and titratable acidity of Kimchi during fermentation at 15$\circ $C generally decreased by the addition of essential oil of astringent persimmon leaves, and the growth of microorganisms associated with Kimchi fermentation was also inhibited. The fermentation time of Kimchi reaching to the maximum number of cell counts was greatly extended as compared to that of the Kimchi fermented without the addition of essential oil. The greatest antimicrobial activity activity of essential oil of persimmon leaves was shown against Lactobacillus plantarum among varoius bacteria associated with Kimchi fermentation. The antimicrobial activity of essential oil against Saccharomyces cerevisiae was much higher then that against lactic acid bacteria such as L. plantarum.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sulgidduck prepared by the addition of astringent persimmon powder. For Sulg : dduck, the amounts of added astringent persimmon powder were 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%. With the addition of astringent persimmon powder content the moisture content of persimmon sulgidduck (sulgidduck prepared by adding astringent persimmon powder) decreased. With increasing addition of those, Reducing sugar, free sugar and mineral (Ca, K and Mg) of persimmon sulgidduck were increased significantly. L-value in color decreased whereas a- and b-values were increased. Adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness in textural profile analysis were decreased. However, there is no respective comparison hole. These result suggest that persimmon sulgidduck can be used as rice cakes commercially desired.

The natural dyeing of fabrics with persimmon juice(astringent persimmon, sweet persimmon, astringent and sweet persimmon mix) was investigated. After dyeing of cotton and silk fabrics with persimmon juice, we evaluated the dyeability of persimmon juice, the observation of fabric surface with high magnification video microscope, physical properties and color fastness with the conditions of repeating times of dyeing and variables of mordants. The results obtained from this study were as follows: The fabrics dyed with astringent persimmon have shown the highest color difference, while the fabrics dyed with sweet persimmon and the fabrics dyed with astringent and sweet persimmon mix have shown similar color differences. With the increase of repeating times of dyeing, the brightness of fabric decreased. However, $a^*$ value increased gradually, so that it became dark brown color. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of dyed fabrics with Fe-mordant have dropped significantly, so that they have shown achromatic colors. But the fabrics treated with other mordants have shown yellowish brown colors. On the surface of the fabrics, threads were bonded together by the viscosity of persimmon juice. Regardless of the types of persimmon juice, stiffness was increased after dying, while crease resistance was decreased. The water repellency of silk fabrics were improved than cotton fabrics after dyeing with sweet persimmon juice, but in case of cotton, it hasn't changed. Washing fastness was improved with the EM(Effective Microorganism)-fermented liquid treatment, and rubbing fastness of two fabrics was better in dry condition than in wet condition.

The two major tannins were separated by Sephadex LH-20 and MCI-gel CHP-20 from peel of astringent persimmon fruits. Purified tannins were identified to (+)-catechin and (+)-gallocatechin by NMR, IR spectrum and FAB-mass spectrum. The removal rate of turbidity, T-N, T-P and CODcr in wastewater with lime and (+)-gallocatechin was higher than those of (+)-catechin because (+)-gallocatechin has more hydroxyl groups. As increasing concentration of tannins from peel of astringent persimmon fruits, the removal rate of turbidity, T-N, T-P and CODcr were increased. Synergistic activity by mixed tannins(catechin+gallocatechin) was also observed.
