The purpose of this study was to prepare Daebong persimmon-fermented liquor supplemented with Prunus mume fruit to promote the consumption of Daebong persimmon and to develop local specialties. As fermentation progressed, the alcohol content rapidly increased, whereas the sugar content decreased. With the production of CO₂ from the second day of fermentation, the epidermis and flesh solids of the Daebong persimmons began mixing together and rose to the surface of the fermentation container. This phenomenon continued until the fourth and fifth days of fermentation; on the fifth day, the ethanol and sugar contents were 11.4% and 9.8°Brix, respectively. A concentration of 6 to 9% (w/w) P. mume fruit was found to be the optimal amount during Daebong persimmon fermentation. When the fermented liquor was stored for 60 days at 5℃, the pH and ethanol content showed no significant change during the aging period. As aging progressed, the content of sugar slowly decreased in both the control sample and in the one to which P. mume was added, showing 9.8 and 10.4 mg/ml at the eighth week post-aging, respectively. The total acid content was 0.79~0.81% at the beginning of aging but slightly increased to 0.84~0.86% in the second week of aging. As a result of the sensory test, the sour taste, sweetness, and flavor were slightly stronger in the P. mume fruit group than in the control group.

Oak barrel have been used for a long time for the aging of wine. Instead of oak barrel aging, however, roasted oak chips can be directly added in the wine before aging. In this study, Korean oak chips roasted for different time durations were used for the red wine aging, and the properties of wine aged through the addition of the roasted oak chips were characterized. No significant differences were observed in the alcohol, soluble-solid, reducing-sugar and total-acid contents based on the oak chips aging, but the total phenol content increased. The methanol, ethyl acetate, propanol, isobutanol and isoamyl alcohol contents also increased. Especially, the methanol and propanol contents increased as the roasting time was prolonged. Although the hue values were similar to one another, the intensity as well as the lightness, redness, and yellowness values were high in the wine aged with the roasted oak chips. In the sensory evaluation, the wine aged with oak chips roasted for 2 h showed the highest scores in the flavor, taste, and overall preference.

The purpose of this study was to investigate optimal condition for making marinated crabs sauce added mulberry branches(M/B), which is effective in removing smells and storing food with antibacterial function of microorganism, and present the biochemical properties, VBN, changes of microorganisms and amino acids, and sensory evaluations. pH increased along with aging process when the same amount of M/B. After 1 day of aging, salinity decreased significantly along with the added amount of M/B(p<0.001). Sweetness decreased along with the aging process. L-value decreased as the aging proceeded, so the color turned darker. a-value and b-value showed significantly high figures with 1 day aging and G4(p<0.05). VBN of G4 was lower than that of other groups, meaning the lowest level of decomposition. The samples with M/B showed lower number of microorganism than the G1 due to antibacterial function(p<0.05). Total free amino acid content was the highest in G5 and it increased along with aging process. Characteristic difference test results showed bitterness, grass flavor, and astringent flavor increased significantly as the amount of M/B increased(p<0.05). Savory taste was the highest (p<0.001). Fish flavor was the highest in the G1 and it decreased as the amount of M/B increased(p<0.001). In the preference test conducted on general consumers, flavor, taste, and general preference was statistically significant(p<0.01).

This study was Performed to evaluate applicability of color flexible pavement concrete (CFPC) for motorway pavement. Color flexible pavement has been applied to non-motorway pavements, such as pedestrian and bicycle road. Two polymers were used to modify the binder and to strengthen the stiffness of pavement mixture. Waste paper was used to prevent the asphalt of gap-grade mixture from draining. Marshall properties, indirect tensile strength(ITS), tensile strength ratio(TSR) before and after freezing-and-thawing treatment and artificial aging, permanent deformation and fatigue life were measured. Color bituminous concrete mixtures used this study had nearly the same quality in mechanical properties when compared with conventional asphalt concrete mixtures manufactured with AP-3 and all mixtures satisfied with domestic specification for motorway pavement. Therefore, it is proved that the color bituminous concrete used this study can be applied for motorway pavement.

This study aimed to investigate the wine properties of new Korean grape cultivar Ageude. To this end, wine was produced using five grape cultivars including Campbell Early and Muscat Bailey A, which are commonly used for winemaking in Korea and Pinot Meunier and Gamay, which are European wine grape cultivars. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of wine quality properties, color, and phenolic compounds and compared the variations observed among these cultivars. The pH and total acid contents were in the ranges of 3.75-4.57 and 0.39-0.58%, respectively. Specifically, the total acid content of Ageude was 0.47% which was not high, when compared to those of other wines. However, the soluble solid content was 7.85 °Brix, which was higher than those of the other wines. In terms of color, the redness, color intensity, and hue values were all considerably high. Moreover, the total phenolic content and total anthocyanin content of Ageude were notably higher than those of the other cultivars. However, it is worth noting that proanthocyanidin was not detected. Based on these findings, Ageude is an excellent cultivar for producing red wine, owing to its high total anthocyanin content and redness due to the absence of proanthocyanidin, it is more suitable for producing short-term aging wine rather than long-term aging wine.

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.

Sol-gel derived silica films were prepared by dip-coating onto polymethylmethacylate with Tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) as starting materials. Film properties such as viscosity and thickness were investigated as a function of dip speed, waterprecursor ratio, sol aging time. IR spectra of the gel films prepared from TEOS at various R are given. At small values of R the absorption peaks assignable to C-H vibration in $-OC_2H_5$ groups are observed around 3000 and 1500-1300 $cm^{-1}$. These bands indicate that the -$-OC_2H_5$ groups are retained in the gel at small values of R because of incomplete hydrolysis of TEOS. Film behaviour was interpreted in terms of the dependence of hydrolysis and condensation rates on the interplay between sol pH and waterprecursor ratio. Film thickness was found to increase by approximately a factor of two as waterprecursor ratio increased from two to six. Film thickness also increased with sol prepolymerization time. Surface quality was correlated with processing conditions.

The purpose of this study was to develop Zingiber officinale Roscoe powder(ginger powder) sweet rice muffins. The process included substituting sweet rice flour for cake flour and adding ginger powder. The mixing conditions for the ginger powder sweet rice muffins were a control and three levels of ginger powder (A), whole egg (B), and soybean oil (C) using central composite design, and were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimization was analyzed with regard to physical, textural, and sensory properties. Among the sensory properties, variables that appeared to show significant values, such as appearance, flavor, softness and overall quality were used to identify optimums. The numerical and graphical methods used in this study determined that the optimum formulation for ginger powder sweet rice muffins was 8.39 g of ginger powder, 215.37 g of whole egg, and 54.40 g of soybean oil. Ginger increases appetite, enhances metabolism and reduces the speed of aging. These health advantages of ginger provide evidences that ginger powder sweet rice muffins are a good healthy snack, particularly for the elderly.

BACKGROUND: Kiwifruit is a fruit tree with relatively small cultivation area in Korea and researches on its soil and physiology are very limited compared to those on cultivar development. Therefore, there are limited information for farmers to cope with the reduction in productivity due to various physiological disorders and premature aging. This study was conducted to investigate the soil and leaf chemical properties, and fruit characteristics, which will be used as basic data for stable kiwifruit orchard soil management. METHODS AND RESULTS: The soil and leaf chemical properties, and fruit characteristics were investigated for two years in 16 kiwifruit orchards growing 'Hayward' (Actinidia deliciosa) in Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do. Soil and leaf samples were collected in July and fruit quality was investigated by harvesting fruits about 170 days after full bloom. The average soil chemical properties of kiwi orchards were generally higher than the recommended level, except for pH, and especially, the exchangeable potassium reached about 300% of the recommended level. The proportions of orchards that exceeded the recommended level of soil chemical properties were 63, 31, 100, 69, 94, 88 and 69% for pH, EC, organic content, available phosphate, and exchangeable potassium, calcium and magnesium, respectively. Thirty-three percent of orchards had more than 100 mg/kg of nitrate nitrogen in soil. Available phosphate in soil showed a significantly positive correlation with leaf nitrogen, phosphoric acid and calcium content, but showed a significantly negative correlation with leaf potassium content. The magnesium content in the leaves was significantly correlated with soil pH. The highest fruit weight was observed in about 25 g/kg of leaf nitrogen content which could be attained when plants were grown on the soil containing about 100 mg/kg of nitrate nitrogen content. The average soluble solids content among 16 orchards was 9.58 °Brix at harvest and 13.9 °Brix after ripening, which increased about 45%, and the average fruit weight was about 110 g. CONCLUSION(S): For fruit quality, fruit soluble solids (sugar compounds) content was significantly correlated with leaf potassium content, fruit hardiness with leaf total nitrate, calcium and magnesium, and fruit titratable acidity with leaf magnesium; however, leaf calcium and magnesium negatively affect the soluble solids contents in fruits.

Soybean paste (Doenjang) was prepared by adding Lotus root powder (LRP) at $5\~15\%$ (w/w) to improve quality of the Doenjang and to give some functional properties. Moisture content was ranged about $50.05\~54.04\%$ and amino nitrogen content was $635\~648\;mg\%$ following the LRP contents. Crude protein amounts were $11.55\~12.56\%$ that was no difference between test samples. Carbohydrates contents increased $1.5\~2$ times in the test samples than the control depending on the LRP contents. However, contents of crude lipid $(6.99\~8.55\%)$ and ash $(13.99\~15.17\%)$ were decreased as increased the amounts of LRP. The pH of the product was decreased until 45 days during aging period and then slightly increased without significantly differences among test samples. The values of acidity were $1.85\~2.18\%$ at the early stage of aging but slightly increased with further aging. The total phenolic content in the Doenjang adding $15\%$ LRP was $461.8\;mg\%$ which is higher than $368.6\;mg\%$ in the control. Doenjang prepared with LRP showed an anti-browning effect of the product itself.
