In this study, the threshold wind speed that causes physical damage on Kiwi fruit plant was investigated through wind tunnel experiments. Total 30 samples of Kiwi fruit branches were tested. On average, the wind speeds for tearing leaves and breaking side branch from the main branch were about 20m/s and 21.7m/s, respectively. For the cases of broken branches, the average length and diameter of the branches were 587.5mm and 7.2mm, respectively. The discoloration and dehydration of Kiwi plant were also observed by photographing leaves and branches after 24 hour later of the wind damage. In addition, the shelter effect of porous wind fences which have been used at agricultural districts was examined with varying several parameters.

The objective of this study was to establish the optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for the processing of kiwi wine and vinegar products. Six yeast strains were examined for their alcohol production from kiwi at $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr with continuous shaking at 100 rpm. Under these conditions, Saccharomyces kluyveri DJ97 produced the highest alcohol content of 10.2%. As the fermentation time extended to 96 hr, the alcohol content reached a maximum of 12.75%. The optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for kiwi fruit were accomplished when kiwi was added to an equal amount of water, inoculated with S. kluyveri DJ97 and fermented at $30^{\circ}C$ for 96 hr with continuous shaking. The content of soluble solids decreased as the alcohol concentration increased, whereas little change was observed in the pH and titratable acidity during the low temperature aging process. Other alcoholic compounds, such as methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamylalcohol, tended to increase as fermentation progressed.

This study was designed to investigate quality characteristics and conditions of acetic acid fermentation of kiwi vinegar following addition of oligosaccharide. During the acid fermentation alcohol concentration and total acidity were shown to be 6% and 1.0%, respectively, with the highest acetic acid yield. Acetic acid fermentation of kiwi following addition of oligosaccharide showed the highest acetic acid yield with 15% oligosaccharide. Free forms of sugars in kiwi vinegar were detected to be fructose, glucose and maltose. Organic acid of kiwi vinegar were malic, lactic, acetic, citric and succinic acid. Total content of organic acid was shown to be the highest with 15% oligosaccharide. Mineral content was shown to be lower when oligosaccharide amount was increased. In conclusion, oligosaccharide addition has an insignificant effect on acetic acid fermentation of kiwi, and was evaluated to be suitable at 15%.

The kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. 'Hayward') should be ripened at any step during postharvest handling before consumer consumption. This is essential for freshly harvested kiwi fruit. But, this requires correct temperatures and ethylene concentrations. More testing of a newly developed ethylene generator using charcoal for commercial purposes is needed. This study was conducted to investigate the optimum storage temperatures and the effect of ethylene on the postharvest quality of kiwi fruit. Three different ethylene concentrations of 10, 50, and $100{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ were used on fresh kiwi fruit stored at different temperatures of 10, 15, and $20^{\circ}C$. The quality changes of the fruits were assessed by sensory evaluation and by measuring firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, and ethylene production. Higher storage temperatures and ethylene concentrations softened the kiwi fruit quickly and led to the rapid loss of acidity while soluble solid contents of fruit increased to a significant extent during the same storage period. Similarly, the firmness of ethylene-treated fruits stored at 20 and $15^{\circ}C$ dramatically decreased in the experiment while treated fruits stored at $10^{\circ}C$ decreased only slightly. Quality characteristics of kiwi fruits stored at 15 and $20^{\circ}C$ were better than those of fruits at $10^{\circ}C$. With regards to the effect of temperature, fruits stored at lower temperatures took a longer time to ripen and retained their quality longer. The newly developed ethylene generator maintained the ethylene concentration in the 5 kg box at $40-400{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The ethylene generator could also be used to soften persimmons.

For the development of hardy kiwi wine, we arranged for the post-maturity of hardy kiwi fruit, treated them with calcium carbonate and a pectinase enzyme complex, investigated the resulting physicochemical properties and conducted a sensory evaluation. The period determined for creating post-maturity in the hardy kiwi fruit was determined as 5 days storage at room temperature following maturity. During this time the yield of fruit juice was increased from 22.1% to 53.5% using 0.1% (v/v) cytolase PCL5 for 2 h at room temperature. 0.1% (w/v) calcium carbonate was also added during the process of aging, for the reduction of the sour taste. The fermentation trial of the hardy kiwi wine was prepared using water (25% or 50%), sugar ($24^{\circ}brix$), 0.1% (w/v) $CaCO_3$, 0.1% (v/v) cytolase PCL5, $K_2S_2O_5$ (200 ppm), and yeast ($1.5{\times}10^7$ cell/ml). Fermentation then occurred for 2 weeks at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH value, total acidity, alcohol, and reducing sugar content of the resulting hardy kiwi wines of 25% (v/w) and 50% (v/w) water, were in a range of pH 3.4-3.7, 1.12-1.21%, 14.3-14.4%, and 15-16 g/l, respectively. Citric acid and fructose constituted the major organic acids and the free sugar of the 25% and 50% hardy kiwi wine, respectively. Volatile flavor components, including 10 kinds of esters, 8 kinds of alcohols, 5 kinds of acids, 3 kinds of others and aldehydes, were determined by GC analysis. The results of sensory evaluation demonstrated that 50% hardy kiwi wine is more palatable than 25% hardy kiwi wine.

This study was carried out to develop a kiwi dressing which was lower in calories and a more beautiful color by using Kiwi rather than mayonnaise. This study was aimed to standardize a recipe for Kiwi dressing using sensory characteristics as well as to examine the changes of pH and chromaticity by the storage period. Results of this study were as follows: from the results of sensory evaluation on kiwi dressing using different kinds of oil, the pure olive oil showed the higher scores than the corn oil in the taste, fresh-sour taste and overall palatability. Sensory evaluation scores of kiwi dressings with various amounts of oil were not significantly different, which suggested that use of kiwi for a dressing was a good way to develop a low calorie dressing because the addition of 32% (360g) oil in kiwi dressing could replace the 75% oil used in mayonnaise without my significant differences in the overall palatability. From the result of sensory evaluation on kiwi dressing with different kinds of acid, lemon juice showed the higher scores than apple vinegar in flavor. The kiwi dressing showed the highest scores in the overall palatability and fresh-sour taste when 12% (60g) onion juice was added and in as well as flavor, taste and the overall palatability at 10 days of storage. The pH values of kiwi dressing Increased significantly in proportion to the storage period (p<0.001), and showed the highest pH value of 2.99 at 17 days of storage. Lightness in color showed the lowest value at 3 days of storage and the greenness of kiwi dressing increased gradually, but the yellowness decreased significantly in proportion to the storage period(p<0.001).

This study was carried out to identity the effects of antifungal bacteria isolated from the soil grown kiwi fruit plants on the growth inhibition of Botrytis cinerea causing gray mold in kiwi fruit plants in the southern districts of Jeonnam. Two hundred and fifty antagonistic microorganisms were isolated and examined into the antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea. We screened and isolated four bacterial strains which strongly inhibited Botrytis cinerea from the soil grown kiwi fruit plants. And the best antifungal bacterial strain which called CHO 163 was finally selected. Antagonistic microorganism CHO 163 was identified to be the genus Bacillus sp. based on the morphological and biochemical characterization. Bacillus sp. CHO 163 showed 86.9% of antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea. By the bacterialization of culture broth and heated filtrates of culture broth, Bacillus sp. CHO 163 showed almost all of antagonistic activity against Botrytis cinerea. And we also confirmed that in vitro the treatment of Bacillus sp. CHO 163 cultured by SD+B+P broth efficiently controled the growth of Botrytis cinerea causing gray mold in kiwi fruit plants.

An instrumental analysis of cooked beef was carried out along with sensory evaluation to find out the effect of Sarcodon aspratus on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics in comparision with kiwi fruit and pear. Transmission electron microscopy showed the muscle fiber started to be degraded when treated with Sarcodon aspratus(1,000unit) for 10 min at $25^{\circ}C$. No distinct sarcomere, A-band, and Z-line was observed when treated with Sarcodon aspratus for 60 min at same condition. The moisture content of cooked beef was increased in proportion to the increment of Sarcodon aspratus, kiwi fruit and pear. In the texture, shear force of cooked beef was decreased with the increment of Sarcodon aspratus, kiwi fruit and pear. In terms of color, L-value was decreased by addition of Sarcodon aspratus, whereas L-value was increased by addition of kiwi fruit and pear in dose-dependent manners. a-value and b-value was decreased with the increment of Sarcodon aspratus, kiwi fruit and pear. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the sensory characteristics of the samples in which control was most preferred in taste and flavor. As the content of Sarcodon aspratus, kiwi fruit and pear was increased, the score of juiciness and tenderness was increased. In the overall acceptance, score of 0.05~0.1% Sarcodon aspratus and 10% pear was not different from that of control. Therefore, it can be concluded that 0.05~0.1% addition of Sarcodon aspratus might be desirable for the improvement of texture and juiciness of cooked beef.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changes in porcine serum albumin (PSA), a major allergen, which occur when raw pork ham is marinated with kiwi or pineapple juice, and/or when the ham is pan broiled at $300^{\circ}C$ for 4 min after marination. In this study, raw pork ham was soaked for 4 h or 8 h in marinades containing commercial marinating sauce only, commercial marinating sauce and 7% kiwi juice, or commercial marinating sauce and 7% pineapple juice. When the meat was marinated and then pan-broiled, pork ham meat protein was significantly denatured and hydrolyzed, and the level of PSA in the meat was significantly reduced. The PSA contents of pork broiled without marination, pork that had been marinated in commercial marinating sauce alone, pork that had been marinated in commercial marinating sauce with kiwi juice, and pork that had been marinated in commercial marinating sauce with pineapple juice, were 95.4, 43.3, 14.3, and 5.4 ng/mL, respectively (p<0.05). Marinating with pineapple juice was more effective than marinating with kiwi juice; and marination for 8 h was more effective than marinating for 4 h. These results indicate that the level of PSA in pork ham is effectively reduced, when the meat is first marinated in sauces that contain kiwi or pineapple extracts for 8 h, rather than 4 h, and then cooked. Further study is needed to determine whether marinated pork meat reduces allergenicity in vivo, as well.
