In this study, three kinds of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (KCTC 7106, 7238, 7904) were tested with respect to the ability of alcohol fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks, and S. cerevisiae KCTC 7106 was the most effective strain in alcohol fermentation with sweet persimmon. To increase the utility of sweet persimmon, the fruits stored for 1 year were used to make an alcohol beverage. It was adjusted 25% of total sugar content and allowed alcohol fermentation with shaking at 120 rpm and $30^{\circ}C$. The alcohol content of 11.6% showed at 15 days and it did not change until 25 days. The initial pH of the fermentation was near 5 then decreased to 4 within 5 days and the initial vitamin C content, 5.04 ${\mu}g/ml$, gradually decreased with fermentation periods. In the other study, the alcohol fermentation from fresh harvested persimmons showed 13% alcohol content at $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days without agitation, while the alcohol content of the fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ was 11.8% at 25 days and 13.4% at 35 days.

The thermal drying of chestnut powder showed a distinct discoloration from yellow to reddish brown color and resulted in a decrease in lysine content of chestnut protein. Chanted powders were blanched in hot solutions of 0.1% sodium bisulfate, 0.2% alum, 0.05% vitamin C and 0.1% citric acid and dried for 7 days in $50^{\cire}C$ of heatine drier. The color difference values in contrast with the original chestnut powder were 1.05, 1.24, 3.47 and 3.34, respectively. In particular, the effect of 0.1% potassium metabisulfide was distinguished. Under the blanching conditions used, a blanching period of 3 min resulted in the most favorable color of chestnut powder.

Quality changes of satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa) during storage by storage warehouse were investigated. Citrus were treated with 2000-folds diluted iminoctadime-triacetate solution and 1.5% chitosan with 0.5% CaCl$_2$ solution, and were at 30$\^{C}$ for 24 hr before storage. The citrus of about 12kg/26L plastic container were stored at room temperature, and at 4$\^{C}$ with 87% relative humidity. Decay ratio of citrus with precise temperature and humidity control were lower than the others during storage. Penicillium italicum Monilia candida Alternara citri, Mucor hiemalis, Phomopsis citri Botrytis cinerea, Phoma citricarpa Clomererella cingulata, Penicillium digitatum were identified as putrefactive microorganisms in citrus storage. Weight loss, moisture content of peel and flesh were decreased slowly during storage. 24% of original acid content were decreased at room temperature on 120 days storage, compared to 15∼18% loss on cold storage. Total sugar of citrus was decreased rapidly after 90 days, and vitamin C content were also decreased rapidly after 60 days during storage.

Strawberry pulp was separated into serum and insoluble pulp by centrifugation and the serum was concentrated in vacuo to five folds at 55~58$^{\circ}C$ and 30~60mmHg. Concentrated strawberry pulp was prepared by mixing of concentrated serum and insoluble pulp. To evaluate the quality changes of straw-berry pulp, color, physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed after concentration and during 18 weeks storage at -18'2. The results obtained from the study were as follows : during 18 weeks storage at - l8$^{\circ}C$, soluble solid, browning, reducing sugar content were increased and total anthocyanin, vitamin C, apparent viscosity were decreased. The result of sensory evaluation indicated that texture of concentrated pulp was inferior to that of control but flavor, color intensity and overall acceptance were not different from each other.

This study was conducted to find out the influence of cultivation season for fresh parsley in modified atmosphere storage. As the qualities of fresh parsley grown in different seasons; autumn, winter, summer were compared, the chlorophyll and vitamin C showed the highest content in autumn and winter cultivation, respectively, but the firmness was the highest in summer cultivation treatment. These fresh parsleys grown in different seasons packaged with 0.04mm ceramic film and stored at $0^{\circ}C$. The shelf life of these parsleys were 84 days in winter cultivation treatment, while parsleys cultivated in autumn and summer were able to be stored for 77 days and 56 days, respectively. The fresh weight loss of parsley was much more higher in summer than in both autumn and winter cultivation treatments. The carbon dioxide and ethylene contents in packages in summer were more than twice as high in autumn and winter cultivation treatment. There were not different between autumn and winter cultivation treatment in the two kinds of gas contents. This result should be caused by higher field heat that increased a respiration remarkably during the early storage. The highest field heat produced by summer cultivation resulted in remarkable decreases of firmness, chlorophyll and vitamin C during MA storage. As the results, the fresh parsley showed highest storability in winter cultivation treatment. The field heat of fresh parsley should be eliminated just after harvest for a long term storage.

Physicochemical properties of six cultivars of Cheju citrus fruits were investigated according to the harvest date. The fruit index of Citrus. unshiu Marc. var. miynawa, C. $natsudaidai{\;}H_{AYATA}$ and C. sudachi ranged from 1.14 to 1.38 with oval form. The fruit index of C. grandis OSEECK, C. aurantiun LINN and C. platymamma. Hort. SWINGLE ranged from 0.89 to 1.03 with a round form. The fruit weight showed the heaviest in C. grandis, followed by C. natsudaidai, C. aurantiun, C. unshiu, C. platymamma and C. sudachi. The rate of flesh showed the highest in C. unshiu, followed by C. platymamma, C. nat녀daidai, C. sudachi, C. grandis and C. aurantiun. The ratio of juice showed the highest in C. unshiu, followed by C. sudachi, C. platymamma., C. natsudaidai,, C. grandis, C. aurantiun. C. unshiu and C. platymamma, which showed a possibility to be used as raw materials for juices. The soluble solid and the Brix/acid ratio of all the varieties increased as the fruits ripen. Especially those of C. unshiu and C. platymamma were high(10.39, 7.67) in full ripe compared to other varieties. Acid content of C. natsudaidai, C. aurantiun, C. grandis and C. sudachi was sustained higher than $3{\sim}5%$ from the middle of September to the middle of January, and there was the possibility of manufacturing aromatic products like citrus vinegar. The C. sudachi contained the highest content of vitamin C,77.48 mg/100 g. The correlation between vitamin C extraction and season was insignificant. Rind and color value of all varieties were investigated, and the value of the L, a and b increased as the fruits were ripen. The value of a of rind of C. $natsudaidai{\;}H_{AYATA}$ and C. grandis until the end of November was negative. This means that their color was not presented by November since the chlorophyll was in the rind, unlike the colors of the rind of C. unshiu, C. sudachi and C. platymamma which were completed by that time.

This investigation was undertaken for the purpose of studying the chemical properties of different kinds of spinach by various blanching procedure. Ascorbic acid, mineral and oxalic acid retention of spinaches, as well as blanch effluent composition were the major factors considered with Dong-cho(winter spinach) and vinylhouse grown spinach. Ash, crude protein, crude fat and vitamin C contents of Dong-cho were higher than those of vinylhouse spinach. On the other hand, vinylhouse grown spinach showed higher content in moisture, phosporous, calcium and oxalic acid. Most of the components in spinaches were decreased by increasing the blanching water volume and time. Reducing sugar and solid content in blanch effluent of Dong-cho were increased by increasing the blanching water volume and time, however, vinylhouse spinach showed no reducing sugar.
