The objective of this work is to determine the sugar profiles in commercial fruit juices, and to obtain chemometric characteristics. Sugar compositions of fruit juices were determined by HPLC-RID and GC-FID via methoxymation and trimethylsilylation with BSTFA. The appearance of multiple peaks in GC analysis for carbohydrates was disadvantageous as described in earlier literatures. Fructose, glucose, and sucrose were major carbohydrates in most fruit juices. Glucose/fructose ratios obtained by GC were lower than those by HPLC. Orange juices are similar to pineapple juices in the sugar profiles. However, grape juices are characterized by its lower or no detectable sucrose content. In addition, it was also found that unsweeten juices contained considerable level of sucrose. Chemometric technique such as principal components analysis was applied to provide an overview of the distinguishability of fruit juices based on HPLC or GC data. Principal components plot showed that different fruit juices grouped into distinct cluster. Principal components analysis was very useful in fruit juices industry for many aspects such as pattern recognition, detection of adulterants, and quality evaluation.

국내에서 육성된 중생종 동양배 품종인 '창조'는 성숙기간 중 지속적으로 과실이 비대하여 600g대의 편원형 과실로 발달하였다. 성숙기간 중 경도는 경시적으로 저하되어 만개 후 153일인 9월 13일에 32.58N으로 조사되었고 만개 후 160일에는 26.44N으로 급격히 경도가 저하되었다. 식감과 관련된 품질요인 중 과실의 전분함량은 만개 후 153일에 0.737, 만개 후 160일에 0.451로 전분함량이 급속히 감소하였고, 과육의 세포벽함량을 조사하였던 결과, 과실비대가 증가하고 과실성숙의 진행과 더불어 알코올불용성물질 함량은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 과피색차 중 적색도($a^*$)는 만개 후 139일 이후 양의 값을 보여 외관상의 과피녹색 발현이 소실되었는데 과피의 SPAD 값을 조사한 결과에서도 동일하게 엽록소의 감소를 확인할 수 있었다. Hue angle 역시 성숙과 연화기간 중 유의하게 감소하는 경향을 보여 수확시기의 지표로 활용 가능하다고 판단되었다. 성숙기간 중 과육 내에 축적되는 당 성분을 분석한 결과, 만개 후 153일에 총량이 최대치를 보였는데 전 생육시기에 걸쳐 전체 당성분 중 과당이 우점하고 있었고, 과실성숙도가 높아질수록 자당의 비율이 유의하게 증가하여 만개 후 160일에 수확한 과실에서는 자당이 과당을 넘어 우점하여 과숙단계로 생각되었다. 따라서, 배 신품종 '창조'의 적정 수확시기는 만개 후 153일인 9월 13일 이전으로 평가되었고 수확시기를 놓친 경우에는 경도 등 과실의 품질이 급격하게 하락하는 것으로 사료되었다. 대만 지역 수출을 모의하여 단기수송온도 설정을 위한 수확 후 저온순화 실험을 실시한 결과, 만개 후 146일에 수확한 과실이 만개 후 153일에 수확한 과실에 비하여 $25^{\circ}C$ 유통 후 높은 경도를 유지하는 경향을 보였고 최종 수송 목표온도인 $5^{\circ}C$로 저하되는 속도가 느릴수록 과육장해의 발생심도 및 에틸렌발생량이 높은 경향을 보였으므로 '창조' 품종에 있어 동남아 지역 수출 시 생리장해 및 과실품질 유지를 위해서는 수확시기를 만개 후 146일 이전에 설정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 '창조' 배의 목적별 수확시기 결정 및 과실의 선별 기술에 일조하고 수출 시장에서의 한국산 배의 신인도 확보에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

A Cultivation method to minimize the damage caused by high temperatures was studied by investigating the effects of groundwater cooling treatment on the growth, yield, and quality of strawberries. In the groundwater cooling treatment, the daily average temperature of the rhizosphere was reduced from $26.9^{\circ}C$ to $24.9^{\circ}C$. The root length increased by 0.3-9.2 cm, depending on the cultivar and growth period. The leaf number, leaf area, leaf length, leaf diameter, and plant height also increased, especially in the cultivars 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang', resulting in higher fresh and dry weights. The number of fruit per plant increased from 7.7 to 12.5 in 'Seolhyang', and the fruit weight increased by 0.3 g in 'Seolhyang' and 1.3 g in 'Maehyang'. The fruit hardness increased, but no significant difference in fruit coloration was observed. The sugar content of the fruit was improved by $0.2-0.3^{\circ}Brix$. Therefore, groundwater cooling of the rhizosphere was effective in improving the growth and productivity of strawberries under abnormally high temperature conditions and can be considered a cost-efficient cooling system.

BACKGROUND: 'Shiranuhi' mandarin is one of the popular citrus cultivars in Jeju Island, Korea. However, the emergence of scion roots since the past few years has altered its flowering, fruiting, and quality. Girdling of branches is one of the methods of increasing flowering in citrus trees. METHODS AND RESULTS: This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of girdling on the flowering and yields of scion rooted 'Shiranuhi' mandarin hybrid. We selected normal trees without scion roots as controls. The trees with scion roots were divided into two groups: trees without girdling and with girdling on main branches. Each group contained five replications and the experiment was conducted in Gosan and Harye of Jeju Island. The scion rooted trees revealed severely decreased flowering and low flowering/leaf ratios; however, the leaf/fruit ratio significantly increased. But, girdling on main branches significantly increased flowering and the flowering/leaf ratio. In the scion rooted trees, yields dropped due to poor flowering; however, girdling of branches efficiently improved the yields of the trees. Fruit quality, fruit size, and fruit weight of scion rooted trees were low in comparison with the control, whereas girdling of the branches improved flowering and the fruit weight to some extent. No significant difference in soluble solid contents was observed. CONCLUSION: Girdling is an effective method to induce flowering of the scion rooted 'Shiranuhi' mandarin trees. In addition, yields of scion rooted trees were improved.

'Gamhong' apple cultivar which was bred by National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, has high sugar contents, large types of fruit and mid-season types of cultivar. However, 'Gamhong' apple tree is very sensitive cultivar to bitter pit. Therefore, many farms have not solved the problems on bitter pit to cultivate 'Gamhong' apple tree. This study was carried out to find out the exposed length of rootstocks on the occurrence of bitter pit and fruit quality of 'Gamhong'/M.26 apple tree and seek the ideal cultivation strategy to decrease bitter pit to cultivate it. For this research, ten-years-old 'Gamhong'/M.26 apple trees were used. The difference among the treatments of the exposure of rootstock of RL (5 cm), RM (15 cm) and RH (20 cm) from the soil surface was observed with 4 repetition from 2010 to 2011. Decreased exposure of rootstocks resulted in more vigorous growth, taller height, and greater number of shoots. N and K/Ca of RH was tend to be lower than RM and RL, whereas as the exposure of rootstock decreased, fruit weight and bitter pit increased. Therefore, occurrence of bitter pit in RH was significantly lower than that of RM and RL treatment and fruit weight also decreased. There was no difference on nutrient contents of leaf and the fruit quality by the exposed of rootstock in 'Gamhong' M.26 apple tree. To reduce the occurrence of bitter pit, it may be helpful to keep the optimum exposure of rootstock within 20 cm from the soil surface.

It is well documented that the fruit of the vitamin tree, which is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, shows anti-diabetic, antibacterial, immune regulation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects. In some countries including Europe it has been used to develop various functional foods. This study was conducted to elucidate the fermentation properties of fermented milk supplemented with vitamin tree (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit powder. The pH, titratable acidity, number of viable cells, and viscosity of the yogurt made with vitamin tree fruit powder were found to be higher than those of the control group, as the amount of supplemented powder added became higher and the fermentation progressed. Production of lactic, malic, and acetic acids increased relative to that of the control as the amounts of supplemented powder were higher. It was found that the increase in the decomposition of lactose to glucose and galactose was proportional to the amount of supplemented powder added and the elapsed fermentation time. During storage for 15 days the quality of yogurt supplemented with vitamin tree fruit powder was within the proper range of fermented milk quality in terms of pH, titratable acidity, and number of lactic acid bacteria. The yoghurt manufactured with vitamin tree fruit powder has a similar quality to that of the control, and therefore, a new functional yoghurt providing health benefits could be developed.

The respiration rate of Chinese quince was measured at 0, 5, 10, and $20^{\circ}C$ to determine its tolerable range of storage temperatures. Based on the measured respiration rates, plastic films covering a wide range of gas permeabilities were used for packaging and storing individual Chinese quince at 0 and $10^{\circ}C$. Chinese quince can be categorized as low respiration fruit. Higher respiratory quotients were observed at higher temperature suggesting that the tolerable temperature range for storage is $0-10^{\circ}C$. Packages containing Chinese quince wrapped in highly gas-permeable polyolefin film PD 941 attained, with progressive decreases in volume, 9.5-10.2% $O_2$ and 1.3-1.8% $CO_2$ at $0^{\circ}C$, 8.1% $O_2$ and 2.4% $CO_2$ at $10^{\circ}C$. At these levels, PD 941 could preserve the fruit at acceptable quality levels for 152 and 50 days at 0 and $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. Less gas-permeable packages built up high $CO_2$ concentrations (above 15.8%) and low $O_2$ concentrations (less than 1.8%) causing free volume expansion and eventual dark discoloration of the fruit. The storage life realized by packaging with polyolefin film PD 941 could facilitate the availability of Chinese quinces in winter and spring for medicinal or ornamental purposes in the fresh state.
