  • This study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics of commercial tofu products from the market in Korea. Seventeen types of commercial tofu samples were taken and their physicochemical properties, including soluble solid contents, salinity, pH, total acidity and moisture (total solid contents), were analyzed. The hardness of tofu was negatively correlated with the moisture contents of tofu (r=-0.667**). The commercial tofu showed pH 5.80~6.24, total acidity of 0.016~0.034%, soluble solids of 1.50~3.45°Brix, salinity of 1.20~2.30%, and moisture content of 79.91~87.57%, respectively. All 17 tofu samples sold in the Korean market were prepared using crude MgCl2 and sea water as a coagulant. The quality characteristics vary depending on the constituent's of soybeans, and the ratio and amount of coagulants of tofu used. The origin of soybean seeds affected the yellowness of tofu; tofu made from imported soybean showed a higher b value than domestic soybean. These results are expected to be useful for understanding trends in the domestic tofu industry.

  • This study was performed to determine the ethanol ratios (30%, 50%, 70%, and 90%) of extraction solvent of Seomaeyakssuk (Artemisia Argyi H.) prepared using different methods (drying at room temperature [D], aging at $60^{\circ}C$ for 7 days after drying [AD], and roasting for 30 min at $160^{\circ}C$ after drying [RD]). The extract yield of the D extracts was lower than that of the AD and RD extracts, but the ethanol concentration of extract solvent did not affect. The L, a, and b values of the D extracts were highest, whereas those of the AD extracts were lowest. No clear trend was observed in the ethanol ratios. The soluble solids, total phenol, total flavonoid, jaceosidin, and eupatilin contents of each extract varied significantly, with RD > AD > D. The soluble solids significantly increased by ethanol ratio of extraction solvent, but other phytochemicals contents of 50% and 70% ethanol extracts were higher than others without affecting the processing methods. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was highest (77.71%) in the 70% ethanol extract obtained from RD. 2,2-azinbis-(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulphonate(ABTS) radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in 30-70% ethanol extract than 90% ethanol extract from RD. The results suggest that the contents of active ingredients and radical scavenging activity of ethanol extracts from Seomaeyakssuk were highest in the RD extract using 50-70% ethanol.

  • This study was conducted not only to investigate the effects of rate of addition of dried jujube to Yakju (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 percent) but also to examine the quality changes in jujube Yakju during its storage (for 75 days at $35^{\circ}C$). The results showed no significant differences in pH, total acidity, soluble solids, and anthocyanin and alcohol contents of the Yakju right after its fermentation. With the increase in the amount of jujube that was added, the lightness of the jujube Yakju changed from 93 to 94, its redness decreased, and its yellowness significantly increased. The jujube Yakju that was fermented with 1.5-percent dried jujube had high sensory evaluation (selection rate) scores for color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability. It had no significant changes in pH and total acidity during its storage after its heat treatment. Its soluble solids contents tended to decrease with its heat treatment and to increase in its storage period. With respect to its color changes during its storage, the higher the ratio of the jujube that was added, the longer the storage period was, the lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased and the yellowness (b) increased. The polyphenol contents depended on the rate of addition of the dried jujube, but were not affected by the heat treatment and storage period. The organic acids in jujube Yakju were citric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, malic acid and acetic acid.

  • The free sugar content and related enzymes of four different parts, inner, outer, stylar end and stem end, of 'Changhowon Hwangdo' peach ($Prunus$ $persica$, L. Batsch) fruit were compared from August to September in 2006, i.e., from 120 to 150 days after full bloom (DAFB). The soluble solids content (SSC) of stylar end was the highest among the four fruit parts at 150 DAFB. Changes of free sugar content were similar to that of SSC in the four parts. The starch content at the stylar end was the highest at 120 DAFB, while all the other parts showed low starch contents at 150 DAFB. The free sugar composition of peach changed during fruit development. The sucrose was low at 120 DAFB and increased gradually in all parts of peach fruit. On the contrary glucose, fructose and sorbitol decreased with fruit development. The free sugar contents and related enzymes activities were investigated during fruit development. The rapid increase of sucrose contents during fruit development was more affected by sucrose synthase than sucrose phosphate synthase. Activity of SS in the four fruit parts increased continuously over the fruit development period, but activity of acid invertase showed a downward trend. This study found that the free sugar content was affected by enzyme activity for the synthesis or the cleavage. However, it was very difficult to explain sugar accumulation of peach segments with related-enzymes.

  • This study was performed to establish optimum extraction condition of Tricholoma matsutake. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables, extraction temperature ($X_1$), extraction time ($X_2$) and water per sample ($X_3$) on dependent variables such as soluble solids contents ($Y_1$), total phenolics contents ($Y_2$), reducing sugar contents ($Y_3$), electron donating ability ($Y_4$) and nitrite scavenging ability ($Y_5$). The optimum extraction conditions were predicted and monitored by response surface methodology using SAS program based regression analysis. Soluble solids content, electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging ability were highly affected by water per sample. However, the contents of total phenolics and reducing sugar were affected by water per sample and extraction temperature as well. The optimum extraction conditions for soluble solids were 34.84 mL/g (water/sample) at $78.85^{\circ}C$, for 3.33 hr. In contrast, the optimum extraction conditions of electron donating ability were temperature of $91.00^{\circ}C$, time of 1.62 hr and water per sample of 39.42 mL/g. Taken together, the optimum ranges for hot water extraction of Tricholoma matsutake were $70{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, 2~4 hr and 30~50 mL/g.

  • The purpose of this study was to elucidate the physicochemical and microbiological properties of Korean traditional rice wine, Makgeolli, supplemented with black garlic extract during fermentation. Black garlic extract was diluted with distilled water to produce 0.5% and 1.0% black garlic solutions. Those solutions were then used to make rice solutions which included 2 kg rice, 40 g Nuruk (a fermentation starter), and 14 g yeast. After being mixed, the rice solutions were fermented for 7 days in a water bath at $28^{\circ}C$. The alcohol contents of the control, 0.5% and 1.0% black garlic Makgeolli were 16.9, 16.0, and 16.2%, respectively. Total acidity, total soluble solids, and color increased throughout the fermentation process. There was an increase of microorganisms throughout the fermentation period in all the samples. Glucose was the highest free sugar, and succinic acid was the highest organic acid detected in all the samples. Thirty nine volatile compounds were detected in black garlic Makgeolli.

  • The conditions of cold stroage of Citrus unshiu Marc. var. okitsu produced in Cheju were investigated. The changes of peel moisture contents soluble solids, total sugar, vitamin C and density were slightly occured, and decay ratio was below 20% on keeping freshness relatively till late of March during cold storage. After thats decayed citrus fruits were increased gradually mainly from cold injury with lower temperature and high humidity. The loss of fruit weight, decrease of fruit hardness, and decrease of acid content were occured gradually during cold stroage. Because of the difficulty of long term storage for Citrus unshiu, the conditions and periods of cold storage would be determined after considering the physicochemical properties of fruits every year.

  • Major characteristics of brines produced from the salting process were compared among winter, spring, and summer (highland) Chinese cabbages. The soluble-solids contents of final brine were decreased to 87~90% of initial brine during salting process, and showed 16.3, 15.8, and 14.4$^{\circ}$Brix for winter, spring, and highland Chinese cabbages, respectively. The pHs showed similar changes during salting process from pH 8.40~8.63 for initial to pH 6.03~6.24 for final. The high salting(12.4~14%) of final brine needs dilution or reuse treatemnt before discard. The COD of final brine were increased to 39.6 ppm, 52.1 ppm, 37.7 ppm, respectively. During salting total microbial counts of final brine were increased ten times from those of the initial brines for all samples.
