This study was conducted to examine the quality characteristics of Oncorhynchus masou stock containing various amounts of tomato (2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%). To accomplish this, the moisture contents, Hunter's color value, pH, salinity, sugar contents, free sugar contents, minerals and free amino acid were measured. The b value decreased, while the L value, a value, pH, salinity, sugar contents, total sugar (fructose, glucose, sucrose) and minerals (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Fe) increased as the ratio of tomato increased. A total of 33 free amino acids were detected, and the amino acid content increased as the ratio of tomato increased. Investigation of different attributes revealed that tomato content significantly affected color intensity, savory flavor and tomato taste. In the acceptance test, stock containg 8% tomato was preferred for flavor, taste, texture and overall quality ; therefore, this was taken as the optimal tomato content for maximizing the overall quality of Oncorhynchus masou stock.

Enzymatic synthesis of fructose-based sugar fatty acid esters, such as methyl fructoside oleic acid mono and diester, was investigated using methyl fructoside as a sugar starting material. For the production of methyl fructoside fatty acid monoester by solvent process, 2-methyl 2-propanol was found to be a god reaction medium resulting a higher yield and productivity due to its high sugar solubility. The yield and productivity of methyl fructoside oleic acid monoester were 70% and 12.6g/L-hr, respectively, when molar ratio of methyl fructoside, initial concentration of methyl fructoside, enzyme(Novozym 435) content, and reaction temperature were 3:1, 200g/L, 1%(w/v), and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. Methyl fructoside oleic acid diester was prepared by lipase-catalyzed diacylation of methyl fructoside and oleic acid in the solvent-free process. Maximum yield of 98% and productivity of 140g/L-hr were achieved when molar ratio(methyl fructoside and oleic acid) of 1:2 enzyme content of 10%(w/v) and reaction temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ were applied for the operating conditions under a reduced pressure of 20∼200 mmHg.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of fruit bearing type with leafy (LY) and leafless (LS) fruits on fruit growth, sugar, and acid characteristics in satsuma mandarin. Fruit growth including fruit length, diameter, shape index (diameter/length), weight, and size distribution was not different between LY and LS fruits at ripening time. Total soluble solids (TSS) concentration of the fruit juice increased and acidity decreased continuously and then TSS:acidity ratio increased with fruit development from 100 days after anthesis to ripening time. Soluble sugar was continuously increased, whereas organic acid decreased. Theses tendencies were related to the increase of sucrose and decline of citric acid, respectively. However, there was no effect of fruit bearing type on TSS, acidity, and TSS:acidity ratio, and soluble sugar and organic acid composition in fruit juice. Also, photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll index with SPAD value were not different between leaves adjacent to LY and LS fruits. The results indicated that fruit growth and sugar and acid characteristics were not affected by fruit bearing type with leafy and leafless fruits in satsuma mandarin.

Changes of acids (total, titratable and combined form) and sugars (total, reducing and non-reducing) in the edible part and the rind of 17 varieties the in growing and ripening period were investigated. The results were summarized as follows. 1) The percentage of rind was notably decreased in growing period and slightly in the ripening period- It may suggest that the rates of translocation of metabolite from leaves to each part of fruit are different with growth phase. 2) The heavier the weight of fruit, the higher the percentage of rind was and the varieties having over 200 g per fruit showed the value over 30 in the rind percentage and over 15 in the number seeds per fruit. 3) Total acid contents in the rind were highest at the maximum grow th of fruit except in Citrus grandis having tie lowest value (below 20 me/100 g F.W). of total acid at maximum point in which total acid content is steadily increase. 4) Total acid and titratable acid in the edible part and total acid and combined acid in whole fruit life showed 0.933 and 0.970 of correlation coefficient significant at 1% level respectively, and most acid in the edible part was titratable acid(73%) whereas acid in the rind consists mostly of combined acid. 5) The content of combined acid in the ripening period increased in the edible part and decreased in the rind. It may be contributed to translocation of some cations from the rind to the edible part. 6) The grouping criteria on citrus fruit were applicable on melon, watermelon and tomatoes. 7) The contents of total sugar and non-reducing sugar in the edible part were continuously increased whereas the content of reducing sugar were decreased in certain varieties, notablly in citrus natsudaidai. The correlation coefficient between total sugar and reducing sugar in the edible part with ripening decreased as $0.849^{**},\;0.732^{**}.\;0.583^*$. ( $^{**}$: significant at 1% level and $^{*}:$: at 5%) 8) 61% of total sugar in the edible part was non-reducing sugar whereas 88% of total sugar in the rind was reducing form at the end of ripening and the correlation coefficient between total and non-reducing sugar in the edible part was 0.861 end total and reducing sugar in the rind was 0.972, both significant at 1% level. 9) Varieties having the percentage of the rind below 36 showed higher value than I in the ratio of total sugar in the edible part to one in the rind. It may suggest that there exists any intimate relation between relative sugar content and growth rate of fruit parts. 10) Citrus unshiu in Guje island showed lower values in the content of acid and sugar, and the rind percentage but higher sweetness index (the ratio of total sugar to titratable acid) comparing with the same variety in Jeiu.

In order to investigate the changes of some chemical components during the maturation of Vitis vinifera red grapes, brix, total sugar, organic acids, total acid, pH and free amino acids were analyzed by HPLC etc. Brix, pH and total sugar content during the maturation of red grapes were increased rapidly but total acidity was decreased between 12~14 days after the formation of sugars. Its compositions were 16.5~17.9 of brix, 14.8~16.4g/100ml of total sugar, 3.24~3.25 of pH and 0.81~0.92g/100ml of total acidity. The ratio of brix/acid was increased gradually during the maturation. Glucose and fructose were contained more than 99% of total sugar and the content of sucrose were 0.03~0.04g/100ml in three varieties (Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Malbec). The ratio of fructose/glucose in maturated three red grapes was ranged 1.04~1.06. Organic acids during the maturation, when sugars increased, were decreased rapidly and the ratio of tartaric/malic acid showed 0.83~1.00. Free amino acids during the maturation were increased and these content were 256.8mg~290.9mg/100ml in three varieties. The content of proline was the highest content of free amino acids in three red grapes, the next ones were arginine, alanine and glutamic acid in the other with 73.2~77.2% of total free amino acids. Especially, content of arginine was higher than others in Malbec variety.
