In this study, Green apple from Mungyeong area was used as material in the fermentation process. In apple fruit growing process, to produce a high quality apple fruit, some Green apple should be removed. Since the removed Green apple fruit is inedible, it doesn't have any economical value. To solve this problem, this paper proposed fermentation process to increase the economical value of raw apple as a fermentation product. This research conducted seven days, and the pH and brix value analysis was done every 12 hours during fermentation process. The experimental results show that the fermentation product under blender treatment is better than cutting treatment and without cutting treatment. Initial brix 25% is the best treatment for fermentation because produce fermentation product with a good taste and aroma than other treatment.

The golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) has been utilized as a natural and eco-friendly control of weeds in rice paddy fields. However, P. canaliculata can damage other crops. In this study, the effectiveness of plant extracts from various natural sources that are reportedly effective against pests in the control of P. canaliculata was investigated. The four plant extracts were effective against P. canaliculata and ranked in descending order as green tea seed (Camellia sinensis) > root of red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) > leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) > root of sophora (Sophora flavescens). The mortality rate of P. canaliculata was increased using 200 to 2000 mg/kg of green tea seed powder. However, shrubby sophora root extract did not significantly increase the mortality rate. The LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ of green tea seed, tobacco leaves, shrubby sophora root, and red spider lily root were 900 and 2800 mg/L, 956 and 2320 mg/L, 2162 and 5325 mg/L, and 512 and 1054 mg/kg, respectively. The LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ of ground powder of C. sinensis, N. tabacum, S. flavescens and L. radiata were 248 and 646 mg/L, 403 and 733 mg/L, 409 and 905 mg/L, and 493 and 1141 mg/L, respectively. The findings indicate the remarkable control potency of green tea seeds against the golden apple snail. An organic material incorporating the four plant powders may help control green apple snail in an ecosystem-friendly manner.

We examined the anti-inflammatory effect of the peel extract of the newly bred Korean apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivar Green ball. To test its possible use as anti-inflammatory functional material, Raw 264.7 macrophages were treated with pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the presence or absence of Green ball apple peel ethanol extract (GBE). Notably, up to 500 ㎍/mL of GBE did not result in any signs of inhibition on cellular metabolic activity or cytotoxicity in Raw 264.7 macrophages. Supplementation with GBE to LPS-treated Raw 264.7 macrophage significantly suppressed various pro-inflammatory responses in a dose-dependent manner, including i) nitric oxide (NO) production, ii) accumulation of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2, iii) phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) subunit p65, and iv) expression of pro-inflammatory biomarker genes, including tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and prostaglandin E synthase 2.

After identifying species by collecting the suspended and attached algae mat inhabiting in the slow sand-filter, Spirogyra sp., Mougeotia sp. and Closterium sp. were main green algae and Synedra sp. was diatom algae. Among them green algae Spirogyra sp. was dominant species. A result of observing the life mode of apple snail for a month after introducing into the slow sand-filter, apple snail eggs were discovered on the filter walls 2 weeks after introducing, 4 weeks later lots of eggs were observed all of the slow sand-filter walls, it means there is no problem for apple snail to live in the slow sand-filter. The observation result for algae removal potential by introduced apple snail after 2 months later, slow sand-filter where apple snail were introduced, a few algal mat were observed. On the other hand, no introduced apple snail into the slow sand-filter, lots of suspended algal mats were formed in the water and attached algal mats on the sand surface as well, these algal mat induced much of operating problems.

To investigate a possible effect of pectinate(apple and carrot) and alginate (tangle or green laver) on blood pressure and sodium retention, male spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) were assigned to 5 different experimental groups and fed diets containing 5% dietary fiber and 1% NaCl for 3 weeks. Dietary fibers were provided from one of the followings : cellulose, freeze dried apple, carrot, tangle(Undardia pinnatifda) or green laver(Monostroma nitidium). Fecal sodium excretion did not change significantly among the groups, however, urinary sodium excretion was increased in groups fed either carrot. tangle or green laver compared to group fed cellulose. Sodium balance was also negative in groups fed either carrot, tangle or green laver. most effectively in green laver group. Blood pressure of groups fed apple. carrot. tangle or green laver were decreased, especially those of group fed tangle, compared to those of group fed cellulose. Dietary fiber containing alginate. such as tangle and green laver, might have cellular binding capacity to sodium so that increased urinary sodium excretion and decreased blood pressure occur.

Physiological characteristics of five new apple cultivars from the Korean apple breeding program were evaluated as a function of harvest time and storage after harvest. Internal ethylene concentration (IEC), flesh firmness, soluble solids concentration (SSC), and titratable acidity (TA) were measured in 'Summer Dream', 'Summer King', 'Green Ball', 'Picnic', and 'Hwangok' apples at harvest, during shelf life at $20^{\circ}C$, and one day after cold storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ in air. IEC increased during shelf life in 'Summer Dream', 'Summer King', and 'Green Ball' but not in 'Picnic' or 'Hwangok', regardless of harvest time. Flesh firmness decreased towards harvest time and decreased gradually with time in cold storage only in the former three cultivars. In turn, IEC increased during cold storage in the first three cultivars but not for the last two cultivars, irrespective of harvest time. Changes in SSC and TA did not consistently relate to harvest time or storage period but TA tended to decrease as IEC increased. Furthermore, IEC was negatively correlated with flesh firmness except in the 'Green Ball' cultivar but the significance level was much greater in 'Summer Dream' and 'Summer King' (p < 0.0001) than in 'Picnic' (p < 0.01) or 'Hwangok' (p < 0.05) cultivars. Flesh firmness was positively correlated with TA in the first three cultivars but not in the last two cultivars. Overall, the results indicate that cultivars for which IEC increased after harvest had reduced flesh firmness and TA after storage.

Conidia and cultural characteristics of isolates of chromogenic and teleomorphic strains of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from apple and red pepper were compared. The mycelial growth of teleomorphic strains was faster than that of chromogenic strains in potato dextrose agar and V-8 agar. The chromogenic isolates from apple and red pepper developed. white gray to gray green mycelial rings interspersed with salmon to apricot colored conidial masses in colonies on potato dextrose agar and V-8 agar and none formed on ascigerous stage in cultures. The chromogenic isolates from red pepper produced conidia, most with one apex attenuated on apple and potato dextrose agar whereas fusiform and smaller conidia were produced in V-8 agar and water agar leaf medium. The chromogenic isolates from apple produced fusiform conidia in the media tested. The teleomorphic isolates from apple and red pepper produced cylindrical conidia, most with both apices rounded, developed white gray to dark olive green in a zonate pattern with small dark spots throughout colonies and formed the ascigerous stage in cultures.

The characcteristics of anthocyanin pigments from crab apple (Malus prunifolia Wild. Borkh. "red fruit") by ethanol extract were investigated at various condition of light temperature sugar, organic acid me-tal ion and pH. The pigments were stable(over the 60%) on the light irradiation throughout 20 days sto-rage period at room temperature and in the pesenc of Al-foil red blue green and yellow cover were rage period at room temperature and in the pesence of Al-foil red blue green and yellow cover were very stable. The pigments also showed high thermal stbility(over the 67% at 115$^{\circ}C$ 10min) at pH2.5 respectively. The pigments with added organic acid greatly increased thickness of red color. The pig-ments with added metal ions at pH 2.5 such as Na+ K+, Mg2+ Ca2+ and Mn2+ were stable throughout 20 days storage period at $25^{\circ}C$. But Cu2+ addition showed the rapidly degradation of the pigments and Al3+ addition induced the color conversion from red to redish violet. The thickness of the red color of anthocyanin pigments increased increased as the pH decreased. These results indicated that crab apple antho-cyanin pigments might be potental source of natural food colorant. colorant.
