In order to minimize the deterioration of dried apple quality, changes of free sugar content, organic acid and ascorbic and during osmotic dehydration with sucrose at various temperature, concentration and immersion time were investigated in this study, total sugar increased as the temperature, concentration and immersion time were increased. Sucrose showed the largest change in content while fructose and glucose showed no and small changes, respectively. Large amounts of malic and fumaric acids, and small amounts of oxalic, citric, maleic and succinic acids were detected. Organic acids were high at low temperature treatment, and became higher with increasing concentration. Loss of ascorbic acid was small at the low temperature and high concentration. Effect of immersion time was negligible. Changes of free sugar, and organic and ascorbic acid followed the first-order and second-order reaction rate equations, respectively. Arrhenius equation was applied to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rate constants with high $r^2$. To predict the changes of quality, a model was established by using the optimum functions of temperature, concentration and immersion time. The model had high $r^2$ value for the quality changes during drying.

In this paper, the effect of cellulase treatment was evaluated by means of phenol-sulphuric acid method. This method was performed by determining sugar liberation in the treatment bath with the amount expressed in glucose equivalent. As compared with conventional method, the measurement of amount of sugar liberated gave a more reliable and accurate result than the weight loss method. It was found that although the weight loss of cellulose became negligible when the treatment was done under agitation-free condition, the amount of sugar liberated was still readily measurable.

The effects of vinegar, alcohol, and vitamin C on the color, microorganism count, volatile flavor components, free sugar level, free amino acid concentration, and free fatty acid level of minced ginger were investigated during storage for 17 weeks at $10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;or\;30^{\circ}C$. Bacterial levels remained unchanged during storage and mold was not initially detected. Yeast levels in minced ginger were $5{\times}10^1$ CFU/g initially, and yeast was not detected after 2 weeks. The color values increased during storage at high temperature. The volatile flavor component levels decreased during high-temperature storage. The free sugars of minced ginger were glucose, sucrose, and fructose. Sugar levels did not vary greatly with storage temperature. Free amino acid content decreased during high-temperature storage, and glutamine, valine, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine, and leucine were detected. Free fatty acid content increased during storage and the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was 3:7.

In this study the physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacities of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) Jungkwa with different kinds of sweeteners were determined. Jungkwa made with different sugars (sugar, xylitol, honey or oligosaccharides) were compared in aspect of physiochemical properties, antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents and sensory evaluation. Moisture contents Jungkwa treated different kinds of oligosaccarides showed highest value, in the order of honey, xylitol and sugar. $L^*$ value of Jungkwa treated with xylitol was the highest, $a^*$ value of Jungkwa treated with honey, sugar JungKwa were higher then others. Free sugar contents of Jungkwa treated with sugar showed the highest value in sucrose, glucose and galactose. Jungkwa with xylitol showed lowest value in all free sugar contents. Hardness and chewiness of Jungkwa treated with xylitol showed the highest value. The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and total penolic content were the highest in Jungkwa treated with honey, followed by Jungkwa treated with xylitol, oligosaccharides and sugar. Appearance and color of oligosaccarides and honey treated Jungkwa were preferred. In ginger taste, sweetness, chewiness were highest in sugar treated Jungkwa (not significant difference in treatments). As a result, honey treated Jungkwa has higher antioxidant activity and quality than other sugar treatments.

Makjang is a kind of Korean traditional short-term fermented soybean paste. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compositions of free sugars, organic acids and free amino acids as well as microbial counts of six kinds of Makjang. Commercial Makjang from different regions (Kangwon-do, Choongchung-do and Kyungsang-do) were used. The major free sugars of samples were glucose (0.15~3.97%) and maltose (0.01~0.54%), whereas sucrose (0.02%) was detected only in M4 and fructose only in M1 and M2. The major organic acids were citric acid (0.16~3.09%), malic acid (0.06~0.23%) and succinic acid (0.01~0.11%). The total content of free amino acids ranged from 0.02 to 8.74 mg/g, and major amino acids were detected in the order of glutamic acid, leucine, alanine and aspartic acid. Numbers of viable cells of bacteria as well as yeast and molds were $7.8{\times}10^4{\sim}4.8{\times}10^5$ and $8.1{\times}10^3{\sim}3.6{\times}10^4$, respectively. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that over-all preference of Kyungsang-do Makjang was higher than others. Consequently these results provide better information for standardizing and improving quality and functional activity of commercial Makjang.

To assess the potential as biofortified rice varieties, new endosperm and grain mutant lines were selected from $M_4$ generation seeds of the rice cultivar Shindongjin, which were either $\gamma$-irradiated or treated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea(MNU) and lipid, sugar, and tocopherol content were analyzed. Amylose content in non-waxy mutants ranged from 8.8% in SM-4, a dull-type mutant, to 29.5% in SM-51, compared to 18.9% in the parental variety, Shindongjin. SM-23, a floury-type mutant, contained 0.09 ${\mu}g/g$ $\alpha$-tocopherol(40.9% of total tocopherol), was three times higher than in the parental variety. SM-32, a giant embryo-type mutant, had a 2.2-fold higher total tocopherol content, 2.1-fold higher $\alpha$-tocopherol, and 5.5-fold higher $\delta$-tocopherol content(47.3% of total tocopherol) than the parental variety(0.13 ${\mu}g/g$). Total free sugar content was elevated in all selected mutants and 1.2-8.6 times higher than in the parental variety(11.38 ${\mu}g/g$). These increased sugar levels were due to increase in sucrose concentration. SM-23(floury-type mutant) and SM-51(high amylose-type mutant) had 4.6 and 7.0 times more sugar, respectively, than the parental variety(11.38 ${\mu}g/g$). With relatively high concentrations, most mutants showed elevated fatty acid content in the SM 32(giant embryo-type) and SM-51(high amylose-type) mutants, at 124.56 and 89.59 mg/g, respectively. All selected mutants displayed valuable characteristics for the development of new varieties in rice-breeding programs.

Some selected fruit juices and fermented red grape juices were investigated to determine the phenolic components by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant capacity using α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) method. Commercial red grape beverages and red wines were also analyzed as control groups. In the juice, kiwi fruit had the highest phenolic components followed by orange(summer), red grape(Cambell Early:Yonng-Chun), mandarin orange(autumn), apple(Hong-Ok), cherry tomato, tomato and water melon. Whereas, on the antioxidant efficiency, tomato showed the highest free radical scavenging effect followed by orange(summer), cherry tomato, mandarin orange(autumn), apple(Aori) red grape(Cambell Early:Sung-Ju), kiwi fruit and water melon. The amount of pheonlic components of red wine was 2 times of that of fermented sugar added grape juice, however, the antioxidant efficiency of fermented sugar added grape juice was almost the same as that of red wine. It was found that no clear relationship could be shown between the content of phenolic component and antioxidant capacity of fruit juices and fermented red grape juices. The fruit juices from tomato, orange, cherry tomato, mandarin orange, red grape and fermented sugar added red grape juice showed high free radical scavenging effect and should be regarded as a valuable source of antioxidant.

Physicochemical properties of Gugija-sugar leaching were investigated by adding sugar ratio on Gugija (Lycii fructus) raw fruit. Gugija were prepared by parboiling ($40{\sim}50$ sec at $85^{\circ}C$) and unparboiling. Gugija-sugar leaching were leached after preserving (5 months at $5^{\circ}C$) Gugija-sugar mixture (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% sugar based on raw Gugija). The yield increased with UPRGSL-4 (Gugija-sugar leaching adding 80% sugar) having the highest yield at 77.5%; in contrast, total acidity decreased with increasing ratio of sugar. The main organic acids of raw Gugija are tartaric acid (0.63%), citric acid (0.57%), malic acid (0.54%) and succinic acid (0.3%). Citric acid and succinic acid decreased with increasing ratio of sugar but malic acid and tartaric acid increased on Gugija-sugar leaching. Polyphenolics and betaine content of unparboiling Gugija-sugar leaching decreased as increase ratio of sugar but in term of used Gugija amount, betaine content of each Gugija-sugar leaching was equal to raw Gugija. Also, parboiling Gugija-sugar leaching decreased quickly with increasing ratio of sugar, especially PRGSL-4 and PRGSL-5 (parboiling Gugija-80 and 100% sugar leaching, respectively) was not determined. 15 types of free amino acids were detected in raw Gugija; the total content was 601.6 mg/100 g and the highest amino acid among them was serine, 218.1 mg/100 g. In PRGSL-4 prepared by parboiling, 9 kinds of free amino acid were detected and the total content was 383.3 mg/100g. Also, in UPRGSL-4 (unparboiling Gugija-80% sugar leaching), all 17 kinds were detected and its total content was 705.7 mg/100 g.

The extracts of the fresh and dried squid(Sepiella manidroni) were prepared with water and 70% ethanol at different extraction time and temperature, and the major free sugars in the squid extracts and the effects of extract condition on the composition of free sugars were investigated. Major free sugars in the extracts were glucose, fructose and ribose, and these components was above 80% of total free sugars. Amount of free sugar in the extracts of fresh squid extracted with water were higher than that of extracted with 70% ethanol, but 70% ethanol, in the dried squid, was more effective than extracted with water. The free sugar contents in the extracts incensed until 2 to 3 hours of extrction at below $100^{\circ}C$ and then decreased slowly, but in the high temperature as $120^{\circ}C$, showed a remarkably decrease after 1 hour of extraction.
