This study was conducted for the optimization of ingredients in salad dressing using Hwangdo peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch). The experiment was designed according to the D-optimal design of mixture design, which included 14 experimental points with 4 replicates for three independent variables (olive oil 40~65%, peach puree 27~50%, vinegar 8~20%). The linear regression models for pH, viscosity and color value and the quadratic regression models for emulsion stability, all sensory evaluation of the products were proven to be valid by the F-test for the overall significance of the regression model at a 5% level. Viscosity and pH of the products increased as olive oil content. Color value, viscosity and pH of the products increased as peach puree content. pH, viscosity, redness, and yellowness of the products decreased as vinegar content. Sensory evaluation result of the products showed that general preference for the products were increasingly affected by the increases in contents then decreased as they exceeded the optimum levels. In consequence, according to result from the first stage of the experiment, the optimum ingredients ratios of the raw materials were set in olive oil 52.43%, peach puree 35.07%, and vinegar 13.91% for ingredients of apricot dressing. These results provided the possibility that peach can be applied to the preparation of a dressing, and thereby present baseline data for the development of new dressings. This is also presumed to meet demands of customers who are always in pursuit of new products.

To increase the added value of peaches and utilize overproduced peaches, it is necessary to develop peach raw materials in various forms. In this study, usefulness of juice as raw material for vinegar was investigated by comparing and analyzing the characteristics of the traditional fermented vinegar prepared with 4 types of juice (fresh, refrigerated, boiled and frozen puree). Sugar content (6.20~6.50°Brix), total acidity (5.25~5.61%), pH (3.42~3.74), and acetic acid content (48.81~54.29 mg/mL) of the vinegar were all similar to existing traditional fermented vinegar. However, contents of total phenol and flavonoid were higher in vinegar prepared from refrigerated and boiled juice. Therefore, it was confirmed that boiled and refrigerated juice are very suitable as raw materials for traditional fermented peach vinegar, in particular, it was confirmed that boiled juice with a high content of total phenol and flavonoid can be used as a high value-added functional material. These results are considered to be important guidelines for developing high value-added raw materials for peaches.
