Eighty-four strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from Korean fermented foods for the production of fermented apple juice. Among these strains, the JBE245 strain that showed rapid growth and food functionality was selected and identified as Lactobacillus plantarum. This strain reached the stationary phase after 24 h fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ with $1.5{\times}10^8$ colony forming unit (CFU)/mL of viable cells, and maintained its viability levels even after 14 days of storage. During fermentation, the ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity (40.4%), total polyphenol content (583.6 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/mL), and 2,2-diphenyl-l-picryl-hydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (52%) were increased. As judged by a sensory test, the overall preference for the fermented juice (4.22) was comparable to that for the unfermented juice (4.72), indicating that fermentation does not significantly affect the sensory characteristics of apple juice. Consequently, the fermented beverage containing L. plantarum JBE245 and apple juice is a promising functional health food.

Since IMF relief financing, domestic economy has been rapidly cooled down. At this point that we predict an overall decrease of production and sale of industries, cooperative marketing activities of the whole dairy industry are required to promote milk consumption. As everyone knows, advertisement is only one of the various factors that affect sales. Other factors include price, distribution, package, promotion, and consumer's needs and taste. The objectives of the cooperative advertising campaign should be trial purchase of new consumers, maintenance of brand loyalty of existing consumers, more positive experience of using the product, and increase of frequency of purchase. Long term analysis is essential to making these kinds of behaviour changes. Also the objectives of the communication program should be a shift of awareness of milk from 'a basic health food for children' to a substitute to the beverage even for adults. To share database of consumers among companies, we need to find ways to use interactive on-line services, the internet, D.M. events and so on as well as the mass media. It should be a precondition that the main body of the cooperative advertisement includes the milk processing board, dairy companies, livestock cooperations, farmers and the Government. To assure continuous, activities to promote milk consumption, the Government should take the lead in legislating 'An enforcement ordinance for milk promotion and research', and seek complementary measures and support to establish the ordinance.

This study was carried out to identify the change of glycoalkaloid contents and ascorbic acid in eggplant by parts and cooking methods. Content of glycoalkaloid by part of eggplant was the most in step part(A) as $31.1{\mu}g$ but it was shown that (A) and (C) contained more solamargine($6.9{\mu}g$) than solasonine, while (B) contained more solasonine($18.4{\mu}g$) than solamargine($6.9{\mu}g$). By cooking method, content of solamargine in eggplant varied; steaming ($6.2{\mu}g$), boiling ($7.0{\mu}g$), sauteing ($2.5{\mu}g$), microwave ($2.0{\mu}g$). Control group had $11.4{\mu}g$ solamargine and it contained solamargine most among them when boiled. Content of solasonine was in order of control ($4.88{\mu}g$)>steaming($3.40{\mu}g$)>microwave($1.2{\mu}g$)>boiling($0.6{\mu}g$)>sauteing(n.d.), and steaming showed the highest figure. As for content of ascorbic acid by part of eggplant, stem part had the most. That is, content of ascorbic acid decreased as from stem part under. Content of ascorbic acid of eggplant decreased greatly by cooking manipulation like other vegetables did, and the remaining amount showed control> sauteing> microwave> boiling> steaming in order.

This study was to investigate consumers' recognition, preference, and use condition of processed food of Prunus mume(PFPM). As for the general recognition of Prunus mume, as the age is higher, and as the group of manufacture and intake has a higher level of academic attainments, the level of recognition is high. The group that manufactures and takes in PFPM at home showed high preference for Prunus mume processed food, and significant differences were shown among groups in this regard. The group of higher age and academic attainment level and those who manufactured Prunus mume at home showed high intake frequency of PFPM. 88.7% of the all respondents said that they had had Prunus mume products such as Prunus mume alcoholic beverage(76.3%), undiluted solution of Prunus mume(74.9%), Prunus mume tea(60.1%), and Prunus mume Jjangajji, or sliced vegetables preserved in soy sauce or hot pepper paste(46.3%). The rates of intake experience on another PFPM were relatively very low, and PFPM consumers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were very limited. As for the prospect of Prunus mume processed food consumption, 48.8% and 46.7% of the respondents expected that it would remain in the current condition and would increase respectively. Moreover, 62.8% of the respondents said that they would purchase new PFPM satisfying such requirements above, which suggests that producing new PFPM is very positive.

본 연구에서는 과실을 이용한 기능성 음료를 제조하기 위해 여러 가지 과즙을 이용하여 kefir 음료를 제조해 보았다. pH는 발효동안 감소하여 pH $4.0\sim4.2$를 나타내었으며, 숙성 후 pH $3.8\sim4.2$로 나타났다. 총산은 발효와 숙성과정 동안 지속적으로 증가였고 시유와 전지유에 startar를 5% 접종했을 때 총산은 0.8, 1.1로 나타났으며, 6% 접종구간은 1.5, 1.3으로 각각 나타났다. 발효초기 당도는 $11.7\sim11.2Brix$에서 발효 12시간 후에 $6\sim7Brix$를 떨어졌으나 숙성 동안에는 거의 변화가 없었다. 알콜함량은 $0.10\sim0.14%$로 미량이 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 점도는 숙성 후 점도는 $2395\sim2488cP$로 시판요구르트 보다 낮은 점도를 나타내었는데 이것은 젖산발효에 관여하는 균주 차이로 생각된다. 관능검사 결과 사과농축액 35% 첨가구간은 향, 입안촉감, 전반적인 기호도에 높은 수치를 나타내어 선호도가 더 놓은 것으로 생각된다 따라서 kefir 발효액은 시판 요구르트와 품질이 비슷하여 음료제조에 적합한 것으로 생각되며, 과실을 이용하여 kefir 음료를 제조할 수 있는 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of crude saponin of red ginseng and aqueous extracts from several medicinal herbs on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) in alcohol metabolism. In order to develop a liquid phase product a model product was prepared using functional plants. In case of red ginseng crude saponin, and some medicinal herbs(Puerariae radix, the flower of Puerariae lobata, the fruits of Hovenia dulcis Thunb., Morus alba L.) the relative activity of ADH was significantly increased, which was from 104～114%. The relative activity of ALDH was also significantly increased in the cases of the fruits of Hovenia duicis Thunb., Morus alba L. which was from 102∼106%. To improve of soju flavours by addition of liquid phase product, it is prepared three samples added a given content (0.28%) of chik, ssanghwa and kyungokgo flavour. The total acceptability test showed significant differences among three samples, and it is observed that the sample added ssanghwa flavour get the best grade. As the second acceptability test, the preference of ssanghwa flavoured sample, sample without flavour and a similar product in market was compared. There was no significant difference among three samples.
