An accurate and sensitive analytical method was established for the simultaneous determination of synephrine and n-methyltyramine contents by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with a fluorescence detector (FLD). A 70:30 (v/v) mixture of 10 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and acetonitrile was used as the mobile phase. The coefficient of correlation ($r^2$) was 0.9999 for both synephrine and n-methyltyramine, and their limits of detection (LOD) were 0.02 and 0.01 mg/kg, respectively. The percentage recoveries for synephrine and n-methyltyramine were 96.4% and 100.9%, respectively, from bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) samples. The synephrine and n-methyltyramine contents were 38.07-118.21 mg/kg and 0.27-0.56 mg/kg, respectively, in the orange fruit samples, while they were 14.61-120.39 mg/kg and up to 3.34 mg/kg, respectively, in the tested commercial orange juice samples. The differences in synephrine and n-methyltyramine content between orange fruit and commercial orange juice were not significant (p<0.05). These results suggest that UPLC-FLD can be applied to develop an analytical method of quality control for commercial orange juice.

A new cultivar 'Picnic' originated from an artificial cross between 'Fuji' and 'Sansa' at National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science in 1994. The cultivar was preliminarily selected among the elite siblings for its high fruit quality in 2003. After regional adaptability tests in five districts for four subsequent years as 'Wonkyo Ga-34', it was ultimately selected in 2008. Optimum harvest time is late September. Mature fruit has mean weight of 233 g and is conic with light red skin on a greenish yellow ground and yellowish white flesh. The fruit contains a favorable total soluble solids content at $13.8^{\circ}Brix$ and titratable acidity at 0.43%, which results in gustatory harmony between sugars and acids. It is not resistant to bitter rot or Marssonina blotch. 'Picnic' exhibits a physiological cross compatibility with leading cultivars such as 'Fuji', 'Hongro' and 'Tsugaru'. Tree topology is semi-spreading with a weak growth habit.

Physicochemical, texture, and sensory properties of Jeung-pyun prepared with different concentrations of Monascus rubber DSJ-20 (Red yeast rice) were determined. Acidities and pH values of 3-5% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were similar to those of control group. Degree of surface color increased in proportion to M. rubber DSJ-20 concentration. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of 1-2% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were higher than those of control. Network structures of 3-15% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were well-formed, similar to that of control. Strong bitter taste and flavor of Monascus were detected in 5-15% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups through sensory evaluation. These results suggest is 3% M. rubber DSJ-20 is desirable leavening concentration for making Jeung-pyun.

A mixed culture of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria and yeast was used to prepare unique fermented fruit and vegetable beverage which contains bacteriocin. Fruit and vegetable broth fermented by Lactococcus lactis 11454 showed inhibitory activity against foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogens and Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans which is a major causative agent for dental caries. Bacteriocin was detected at the end of fermentation of fruit and vegetables and its antimicrobial activity was stable for 5 weeks during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that the presence of bacteriocin in beverages during fermentation and storage will provide a safeguard against foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria. To improve flavor of the fermented broth, post-fermentation of the fermented broth was carried out at $4^{\circ}C$ by using yeast isolated from raw material mixture. Total acidity of the post-fermented broth was slightly decreased, but significant increase in the concentration of succinic acid was observed in the post-fermented broth. It was also observed that bitter and disagreeable taste compounds such as phthalates were decreased, and mild acidic and fruity flavor esters and alcohols were increased by the post-fermentation of the fermented broth with yeast.

The purpose of this study was to investigated quality properties of breads prepared from wheat flour with persimon leaf power. Results showed that the volume of bread was lessened, the weight of bread went up, and baking loss rate diminished as persimmon leaf powder content incremented. The experiment showed that bread was maintained in the low level of springiness and cohesiveness was relatively reduced as time lapsed, whereas 3.0 and 5.0% test group remained significantly high level. There was a rapid increment in chewiness and gumminess, which tended to show significantly low as compared to control group, Results of sensory evaluation showed that the preference scores decreased as the persimmon leaf powder contents increased (p<0.05), flavor made no significant differences up to 3.0% test group, however, 5.0% test group containing elutionsuch as catechin or tannin produced sour and bitter taste so strongly that made if feel uncomfortable with. The augment of content indicated a low prederence in terms of texture, in an overall preference had no significant differences as compared to the control group, and 0.5% test group. Through the results of these of these experiments, we can conclude that the highest quality of persimmon leaf powder content is no more than 0.5% in making bread added with persimmon leaf powder.
