Ulmus pumila L. bark underwent distilled water extraction under three temperature condition ($4^{\circ}C$, room temperature, or $80^{\circ}C$) and two extraction times (1, or 5 min) in order to develop a functional beverage products. Changes in yield, pH, color, total phenolic (TP) content, tannin content and antioxidant activity of the aqueous extracts were evaluated for each extraction temperature and duration. Extraction conditions did not affect yield or pH value of the extracts; however CIE $b^*$ values were high in extracts prepared under high extraction temperature ($80^{\circ}C$) and long extraction duration (5 min) conditions. Both extraction temperature and duration affected the TP and tannin contents of the extracts; however, all extraction conditions resulted in ${\geq}450\;mg\;GAE/g$ TP content and ${\geq}80\;mg\;CE/g$ tannin content. All extracts exhibited ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging ability similar to that of vitamin C. Nitric oxide inhibition activity was lower in the 5 min duration sample than in the 1 min sample. The $4^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature produced an extract with the highest reducing power and hydrogen peroxide values. Extraction temperature also affected sensory evaluation results with the $80^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature producing significantly higher flavor, bitterness, and color score, than those obtained under $4^{\circ}C$ and room temperature extraction conditions.

This study was performed to investigate the physicochemical properties of Korean Citrus sudachi fruit which were harvested at different harvesting time(every 20 days from Sep. 3 to Nov. 8) and region(Seogwipo and Cheju city area). The average weight of Citrus sudachi fruit harvested from Seogwipo area was as twice as that of Cheju area at the same period. The moisture content in fruit peel increased by ripening of fruit, but that of fruit juice showed no difference. The content of reducing sugar in fruit peel and fruit juice increased 2 times from Sep. 3 to Nov. 8. The content of crude fiber decreased both in fruit peel and fruit juice as progression of ripening. Crude protein and ash contents decreased in fruit peel but revealed no differences in the fruit juice during the same period. pH decreased in fruit peel and juice with its ripening. The content of vitamin C decreased by ripening of fruit. The transmittance which is important quality factor in fruit juice increased from Sep. 20 to Oct. 13. The content of free sugar increased about 2 times in fruit peel from Sep. 3 to Nov. 8 and showed 4 times increase in fruit juice at the same period. In the composition ratio of mineral, Ca and K were abundant in the fruit peel, but only K was the most abundant mineral in fruit juice than any others.

The physicochemical and sensory properties of Baik-Kimchi supplemented with Lotus root juice were periodically examined during fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ over 4 weeks. The pH decreased and acidity gradually increased during fermentation. Turbidity also increased as the level of added Lotus root juice increased, with a gradual rise being evident over 2 weeks with a subsequent decrease to the 4-weekpoint of fermentation. The L- and a-values decreased as the amount of added Lotus root juice increased, whereas the b value increased. The reducing sugar content increased when Baik-Kimchi was supplemented with 3% or 6% (both w/v) Lotus root juice, but decreased when Baik-Kimchi was supplemented with 9% or 12% (both w/v) root juice. Reducing sugar content decreased as fermentation continued. The vitamin C content was higher in supplemented samples, than in the control during fermentation. The hardness of Baik-Kimchi supplemented with Lotus root juice decreased with increasing fermentation time. By sensory evaluation, addition of 6%(w/v) root juice yielded a product superior in color, smell, crispness, and overall acceptability compared with control. In conclusion, optimal Baik-Kimchi fermentation should include addition of 6% (w/v) Lotus root juice.

The physicochemical and microbiological studies were conducted to examine the effect of Prunus mume extract on the Dongchimi fermentation. Dongchimi with the addition of various levels (0, 0.05, 01, 0.2 or 0.3%) of Prunus mume extract was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The pH of the product decreased in the course of fermentation and it was between 3.8~4.2 at 6~8 days fermentation. Total acidity was decreased by the addition of Prunus mume extract. A more rapid decrease in pH and an increase in total acidity were observed in the control Dongchimi than in that with added Prunus mume extract. The content of vitamin C increased for up to 10 days of fermentation and then gradually decreased. Reducing sugar content increased for up to 10 days, and the highest of sugar content was shown in the Dongchimi with 0.3% of added Prunus mume extract. As Prunus mume extract levels increased, the total viable cell number and the Lactobacillus cell number decreased. Dongchitni in which Prunus mume extract was added gained it,j optimum taste after 10 days of fermentation. The results of this study indicate that Prunus mume extract causes a delay in the fermentation of Dongchimi by slowing down pH drop and inhibiting the Lactobacillus cell growth.

Two kinds of anticaking agents (dextrin, polydextrose) were combined with kiwifruit paste at 5% w/w ratio and freeze-dried to prepare a powdered material. The physiochemical characteristics of kiwifruit powders with anticaking agents were compared with those without anticaking agents as the control. The yield was higher in the powders with anticaking agents than the control. Moisture content, acidity, and total phenolics were lower in the powders with anticaking agents than the control. The contents of vitamin C was higher in the powders with anticaking agents than the control, but was no significant difference with different anticaking agent types. There were no significant differences in free sugar content (fructose, glucose, total sugar) and organic acid content (oxalic acid, lactic acid, total) depending on the anticaking agent types. Hunter's L-value was significantly high in the order of the samples with dextrin, the control, and polydextrose, while a-value showed an opposite tendency. Browning index, water solubility, and swelling power didn't show any significant difference. However, the hygroscopicities with elapsed time were lower in the powders with anticaking agents than the control. Therefore, the kiwifruit powder combined with dextrin or polydextrose as an anticaking agent at 5% w/w ratio could be used as a food biomaterial with a good quality in moisture, vitamim C, color value, browning index, water solubility, and hygroscopicity.

Soluble solids $(^{\circ}Brix)$, acid content and vitamin C content of Citrus miyakawa unshiu and C. okitsu unshiu juice harvested middle of November 1993 in Seuho-Dong and Topyung-Dong, Seogwipo-si, south area of Cheju were $10.7{\sim}11.0$, 1.04% and $41.19{\sim}44.94\;mg/100\;g$ juice, respectively. Carbohydrate was consisted of about 1/2 sucrose, 1/4 glucose, and 1/4 fructose. Fruit weight, peel thickness, soluble solids, pH, acid content and Brix/Acid ratio had a good correlation in linear function with increasing fruit size, respectively. However, hardness and edible part ratio were not showed correlation with increasing fruit size. Middle size of citrus fruit was favorable to panelists, and the citrus peel color of red yellow was more favorable than pale yellow color in sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation score showed a linear correlation among citrus fruits of C. okitsu unshiu produced in Namwon-ri, Seuho-Dong, Seogwipo-si, south area of Cheju, and that of Chochun-ri, Ara-Dong, Cheju-si, north area of Cheju, and the score was higher according to citrus fruit produced in optimum cultivation area. With increasing Brix/Acid ratio of citrus juice, high sensory evaluation score was gained in panelists. These data obtained are supposed to be applied to the quality evaluation of Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju.
