This study was done to measure the color and catechins contents in processed teas using the whole bands (400~2500 nm) with near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS). The powder colors of 109 processed teas were measured with a colorimeter. The a/b ratios in Hunter color scale in processed teas accounted for about 98.9% of the variation in the fermentation degree(FD), indicating that the a/b ratio was a very useful trait for assessing fermentation degree. Also tea powders were scanned in the visible bands used with NIRSystem. The calibration equations for powder colors were developed using the regression method of modified partial least squares(MPLS) with the internal cross validation. The equations had low SECV (standard errors of cross-validation), and high $R^2$ (coefficient of determination in calibration) values with 0.996~1.00, indicating that the visible bands(400~700 nm) with NIRS could be used to rapidly measure the variables related to powder color and fermentation degree. Also another powders of 137 processed teas were scanned at 780~2500 nm bands in the reflectance mode. The calibration equations were developed using the regression method of MPLS with the internal cross validation. The equations had low SECV, and high $R^2$ (0.896~0.983) values, showing that NIRS could be used to rapidly discriminate the contents of EGC($R^2$=0.919), EC(0.896), EGCg(0.978), ECg(0.905) and total catechins(0.983) in processed teas with high precision and ease.

Effects of Prunus mume byproduct (PLB), obtained after manufacture of Prunus mume liquer, on quality characteristics of bread were investigated. The pH of dough and bread decreased but titratable acidity increased by addition of 10% or 20% PLB. The volume of dough during fermentation and the baking loss of bread containing PLB were smaller than those of the dough and bread without PLB. The weight of bread increased but the volume decreased by addition of PLB. L (lightness) value increased and a (redness) value decreased in the surface of bread containing PLB. b (yellowness) value did not show difference between treatments. The internal color of bread containing PLB decreased in L and a value but increased in b value. The hardness and strength of bread decreased with 10% PLB but increased with 20% PLB compared to control. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread increased with 10% or 20% PLB, but did not show significant difference between concentrations. As results of sensory evaluation, taste and flavor of the bread containing 10% PLB increased significantly compared to control. The sensory quality of bread with 20% PLB decreased significantly. The strength, springiness, and hardness of bread with 20% PLB were higher than those of control. The taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptability of bread with 10% PLB were better than those of control. No molds were found in breads with 20% PLB and 20% PLB powder during storage for 1 week at room temperature.

The Relative weight index is an index for evaluating nutritional condition of fish by calculating a ratio of observed weight to standard weight. The purpose of this study is estimating standard Length-Weight relationships (standard LWRs) to calculate standard weight for application of relative weight index and analyze frequency distribution of relative weight index of 10 freshwater fish in the South Korea. The standard LWRs for each species was calculated by the Length-Weight data sets from 798 times of captures at 141 sites. The correlation of determination (r²) for all species was over 0.9 and values of parameter b were within the expected range according to Froese (2006). We calculated in increments of 10 from 10 to 90 percentile of relative weight index for each species, and it could be used as a standard for quantitative assessment of nutritional condition of freshwater fish.

The experiment was done to clarify the effect of keeping material and storage temperature on weight and quality of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita) tuber. After the yam tubers were placed into the plastic boxes filled with different keeping materials [polyethylene (PE) film, hull, soil, sand, vermiculite], they were stored under different storage temperature(room, cold) from Oct. 15 to Mar. 15 when all the characters related to the tubers were measured. Soil or PE film as keeping materials was the lowest sound tuber rate when stored at room or cold temperature, respectively, while vermiculite was the highest in both storage temperature. When PE film and vermiculite in both storage temperatures were used as keeping materials, tuber weight were less reduced than the others. Brightness of chromaticity and moisture content were lower in room temperature storage than in cold temperature storage although the characteristics related to marketability were not affected by storage temperature. PE film had greater brightness and value 'a' of chromaticity but lower its 'b' value in the latter temperature than in the former temperature. Vermiculite, however, did the reverse result in comparison with PE film.

To develop sweet persimmon bread, the proper ratio of the sweet persimmon powder substituted for strong flour was decided. When 5%,10%,15% and 20% of sweet persimmon powder was substituted as much amount of strong How, the ratio of moisture absorption and loaf volume decreased while its weight increased. The contents of vitamin A,9-carotene and vitamin C increased as the substitute ratio of sweet persimmon powder increased. In color values, as sweet persimmon powder was added more, L and b values decreased and a value increased in the crust while in the crumb bread L value decreased and a, b values increased. In the sensory evaluation, the bread added with 10% persimmon powder was preferred to control in flavor, texture and overall acceptability but not in appearance.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality characteristics of noodles when different concentrations of chlorella extract powder were added to the wheat flour. The characteristics of noodle including cooking properties, color, mechanical texture properties, and sensory properties were determined. The noodles containing chlorella extract powder exhibited higher values in cooked weight, volume, moisture absorption, and cooking loss. When the amount of chlorella extract powder increased, the Hunter L(lightness) value, a(redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b(yellowness) value increased. From the textural properties measured by texture analyzer, the noodles with chlorella extract powder were significantly lower in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness than those of 100％ wheat noodle. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing chlorella extract powder indicated that the cooked noodle with 1.5％ chlorella extract powder showed the highest value. Based on cooking properties and sensory evaluation, chlorella extract powder up to 1.5％ could be substituted for wheat flour to improve the noodle quality.

Wet noodles with different percentages of Curcuma Ionga L. powder(CLP) as an additive were generated and their cooking characteristics were evaluated. Wheat flour with 8% CLP had the highest water binding capacity and breakdown, while setback was reversed. Cooked noodle characteristics, weight, volume and tensile strength decreased as CLP content of wheat flour increased, but turbidity of the soup was reversed. L value of wet noodles was higher than cooked noodles, while b value, and texture of wet noodles were lower than cooked noodles. Hunter color value and texture measurements demonstrated decreasing L value, springiness and cohesiveness but increasing b value, hardness, gumminess and chewiness with increasing CLP content. In sensory evaluations, noodles made with 4% CLP were most highly preferred, while noodles made with 2% and 8% CLP were less preferred than CLP-free prepared noodles.

This study was observed the effects of drying methods on the extraction characteristics of Rubi fructus (fruits of Rubus coreanus). Extraction yields of soluble solids and total sugar were high in the Rubi fructus dried by freeze drying, followed by infrared drying and sun drying. Extraction yield of phenolic compounds and DPPH radical-scavenging activity of extracts were in the following order; the Rubi fructus dried by freeze drying, the Rubi fructus dried by infrared drying, the Rubi fructus dried by sun drying. L value was the highest in the Rubi fructus dried by freeze drying, and a and b value were lowest in the fruit dried by freeze drying. These results suggest that freeze drying has an beneficial effect to enhance the quality of Rubi fructus. Water and ethanol extractions was more effective in the extraction of soluble solids and the antioxidative components.

채소류는 생리적인 특성상 수확후 저장 및 유통되는 동안에 호흡작용, 증산작용 등의 작용이 활발해질 뿐만 아니라 곰팡이를 비롯한 식물병이 미생물의 오염 및 성장으로 부패현상을 일으키고 채소류 자체의 경도가 저하되며, 수분, 비타민, 유기산, 당분, 색소함량 등이 떨어져서 외관, 맛 신선도 등의 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 채소류(오이, 호박, 방울토마토)의 선도를 연장하기 위한 저장조건을 실시하여 최적 습도 및 온도범위를 결정하였고, 이를 토대로 하여 시설채소산물을 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고(5~8$^{\circ}C$의 온도와 90% 습도유지)에 저장하면서 무처리구인 대조구와 비교하여 저장중 시료의 중량손실율, Ascorbic acid함량, 총균수(PCA사용법에 의거), pH의 변화를 측정하였고, 시료의 표면색도는 색도계(Minolta CR-300, Japan)를 사용하여 Hunter의 L, a, b값을 측정하였다. 이 결과, 채소류의 선도유지기간이 연장되는 것을 확인하였고, 중량손실율은 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장한 채소류가 중량손실율이 대조구에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 채소류를 저장함으로서 채소류의 수분손실을 방지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 일정기간동안 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장함으로써 ascorbic acid함량의 감소를 대조구에 비하여 낮은 비율로 억제할 수 있었다. 총균수의 경우 채소류 시험구에서 원적외선 방사체 저장고에서 저장할수록 오염미생물의 총균수가 낮게 나타났다. 표면색도의 경우, a값은 모든 시험구에서 감소하였으며 원적외선 방사체 시험구에 비하여 대조구 저장시료의 표면색도가 청색도를 증가시키는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었고, b값은 시료간에 유의성 있는 차이없이 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부패율은 수분 함유율이 높은 채소류일수록 원적외선 방사체 저장시설을 이용하는 경우, 부패율을 낮게 유지할 수 있었다. 따라서, 원적외선 방사체 저장시설내에 오이, 호박 및 방울토마토와 같은 채소류를 저온고습도상에서 저장할 경우, 채소류의 품질변화를 최소화 할 수 있어 갓 수확한 채소류의 선도유지기간을 연장할 수 있는 저장법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
