To establish an effective chemical control strategy against powder mildew of sweet pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne) caused by Sphaertheca fuliginea, screening of effective fungicides and determination of their application times were conducted. Powdery mildew caused by S. fuliginea began to occur at about 80 days after transplanting and continuously increased until harvesting in Korea. Systemic fungicides, such as difenoconazole, triforine, bitertanol, and triflumizole, were effective for controlling powdery mildew, showing control efficacies of about 80-90%. When the fungicide triflumizole was applied 3 or 4 times from the beginning day of the disease at 10-day intervals, about 92.0% and 94.6% of disease control and yield increase of 7% and 9% were obtained, respectively. Therefore, the proper application of triflumizole for controlling powdery mildew of sweet pumpkin must be done more than 3 times.

This study was conducted to investigate total polyphenol contents and antioxidative effects of the enzymatic hydrolysates digested by several kinds of carbohydrases from the powder of ripened pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata), sweet pumpkin (C. maxima) and green pumpkin (C. moschata). The total polyphenol contents of all enzymatic hydrolysates from green pumpkin powder were higher than those of ripened and sweet pumpkins. DPPH radical scavenging activities of the enzymatic hydrolysates digested by AMG and Termamyl from green pumpkin were also very strong compared to ripened and sweet pumpkins. However, the most enzymatic hydrolysates of ripened and sweet pumpkin powders, except Viscozyme digestion, were higher superoxide anion scavenging activities than green pumpkin powder. Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities in the enzymatic digests (not Ultroflo) of green pumpkin were potent compared to other pumpkin powders whereas hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were low at less than 14% in hydrolysates of all pumpkin species. Nitric oxide scavenging activities were very effective in Viscozyme digests of sweet and green pumpkin, and other enzymatic hydrolysates also showed higher activity than $\alpha$-tocopherol control (not BHT).

In this study, we investigated the effects of reducing fat levels from 30% to 25, 20, and 15% by substituting pork fat with water and pumpkin fiber (2%) on the quality of frankfurters compared with control. Decreasing the fat concentration from 30% to 15% significantly increased moisture content, redness of meat batter and frankfurter, cooking loss, and water exudation, and decreased fat content, energy value, pH, and lightness of meat batter and frankfurter, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and apparent viscosity. The addition of 2% pumpkin fiber was significantly increased moisture content, yellowness of meat batter and frankfurter, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and apparent viscosity, whereas reduced cooking loss and emulsion stability. The treatment of reduced-fat frankfurters formulated with 20 and 25% fat levels and with pumpkin fiber had sensory properties similar to the high-fat control frankfurters. The results demonstrate that when the reduced-fat frankfurter with 2% added pumpkin fiber and water replaces fat levels can be readily made with high quality and acceptable sensory properties.

Verticillium tenerum was detected from the samples of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) in Korea. The samples on which this species was detected were potato tubers collected from Pyungchang and Gimjae, and fruits and seeds of pumpkin from Yeonchon in 2003. The conidiophores of the fungus produced mainly three to five phialides in verticil. The phialides were narrow, flask-shaped, only very slightly swollen at the base, and taper subulately to a narrow neck. They were hyaline, $10{\sim}26{\times}2{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$. The conidia were formed in slimy heads, and were oval to ellipsoidal, pale reddish-brown, $2.5{\sim}7.5{\times}2{\sim}4\;{\mu}m$. The colony on the substrata was unique, showing brick-red color. This is the first report on the distribution of Verticillium tenerum in Korea.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of browning inhibitor and vacuum packaging on minimally processed sweet pumpkin. The browning inhibitor were lo/e of ascorbic acid, citric acid, NaCl, MgCl$_2$and their combination. For the minimal processing, sweet pumpkin was sliced and strip-cut followed by dipping in the solution of browning inhibitor. Effective browning inhibitors fer slice sweet pumpkin were ascorbic acid, NaCl and MgC1$_2$, and those fer thin strip were combination and ascorbic acid. The hardness of minimally processed sweet-pumpkin repeated increasing and decreasing and decreased in the final of storage. However the change pattern of hardness was different according to cutting method. Magnesium chloride treatment was generally high grade on sensory characteristics. Sweet pumpkin treated with citric acid was distinguished on carbon dioxide generation and oxygen exhaustion.

This survey was performed to investigate the distribution of specialities which cultivated importantly in Jeollabukdo area in order to understand food culture of this area. Foods in speciality were divided into 4 groups, agricultural, aquatic, animal and the others products. Total number of 93 species of specialities, including 40 species of agricultural products, 29 species of aquatic products, 8 species of animal products and 16 species of the miscellaneous products, were identified from Jeollabukdo area. Especially, there were various fruits and vegetables among agricultural products and fishes among aquatic products in this region. Rice, pepper, pear, Mandarin fish, beef, pine mushroom, lentinus edodes and honey were determined as specialities in Jeollabukdo area. Various aquatic products were specialities in Gochang, Gunsan, Buan and Gimje region. Fruits, mushrooms, wild edible greens and animal products were specialities in Muju, Jangsu, Jeongeup and Jinan. Sweet fish, cat fish and freshwater crab were caught off in Sumjin river region only such as Namwon, Sunchang and Imsil, Recently, pumpkin(Cucurbita maxima) and paprika were determined as specialities in Jeollabukdo. In case of aquatic products, mushrooms and wild edible greens, their wild type products decreased, while cultivated type increased Commercialization by brand naming of agricultural and animal products were rapidly increasing. The kinds of specialities in Jeollabukdo area were changing by the influence of geographical, religious and social factors.

The effects of dietary fiber extracted from pumpkin (pumpkin fiber) on physicochemical properties, textural properties, and sensory characteristics of chicken frankfurters were investigated. Chicken frankfurter was supplemented with pumpkin fiber at levels of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%. Adding different levels of pumpkin fiber affected the proximate composition of the chicken frankfurters (p<0.05), except for protein content. In addition of different levels of pumpkin fiber influenced the physicochemical and textural properties of the chicken frankfurters (p<0.05). The yellowness, viscosity, and hardness were higher in chicken frankfurters samples containing pumpkin fiber than those in the control (p<0.05). The results showed that chicken frankfurter samples with higher pumpkin fiber levels had lower lightness values (p<0.05), as well as less cooking loss, emulsion stability, and lower color scores (p<0.05) compared to those control without pumpkin fiber treatment. The chicken frankfurters with 2% and 3% pumpkin fiber had higher overall acceptability than that of the control (p<0.05). The results show that adding pumpkin fiber produced acceptable chicken frankfurters and improved their quality characteristics.

Inhibitory effects of several edible plant extracts against 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA) reductase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, were screened. Inhibition rates of $10{\sim}15%$ were observed with hot water extracts of Allium fistulosum, Allium sativum and Cucurbita maxima. Methanol extracts of Aster scaber, Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Oenanthe javanica and Angelica keiskei effectively reduced the enzyme activity with inhibition rates of $29{\sim}51%$. The methanol extract of Angelica keiskei was fractionated sequentially with chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. Of the fractions ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest inhibition against the enzyme. $Luteolin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ and hyperoside isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of Angelica keiskei inhibited the enzyme activity by 65.5% and 14.8%, respectively, at the concentration of $30{\mu}M$.
