Three potato cultivars, Sumi,Daejima and Namjak, were prepared as slices. They were dipped in distilled water for 20 seconds. The potato slices were packed in polyethylene bags and stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Browning degree, total phenol and chlorogenic acid contents and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity were measured. And the correlation analysis of browning parameters were conducted. The results were as follows. There were increase in browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity during cold storage of potato slices with different cultivars. Among three cultivars, Sumi showed the highest browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity and also showed the highest % increse of browning and PPO activity during cold storage. On the contrary, Daejima was the lowest. But Daejima showed the highest % increase in phenolic contents during cold storage. With Sumi, browning degree was significantly correlated with PPO activity and phenolic contents (p<0.05). With Daejima and Namjak, a significant correlation was found between browning degree and PPO activity (p<0.05). From the above results, enzymatic browning reactions of potato slices and factors affecting them were dependent on cultivar. Among the tested three cultivars, Daejima showed the lowest browning degree during cold storage and thus seems to be desirable for minimal processing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the qualitative changes of the citron by identifying the type of solution and addition of the solution to prevent the browning reaction of the citron in a way that inhibits the browning of the citron. The browning inhibitor solution was investigated using the individual and mixture, and the results of the degree of browning and chromaticity showed that vitamin C+NaCl+cyclodextrin (CD) had the lowest browning of 0.52. In chromaticity, the ΔE values indicate that the higher the value, the greater the change in color, and the lowest value of the vitamin C+NaCl+CD mixture was 47.0, indicating that there was minimal browning compared to other treatment. The active change of the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the citron increased enzyme activity as the browning progressed, and the vitamin C+NaCl+CD solution was the lowest at 68.40 μ/g among the anti-browning solution. Based on these research results, it seems that the CD mixing solution can be used as a citron browning inhibitor.

The objectives of this study were to provide fundamental information on how individual phenolic compounds form on the inside of apple slices during cold storage, the changes in the content of four types of phenols, ingredient variation of individual phenolic compounds and the influence of phenolic compounds on enzymatic browning. This study measured the changes in the content of soluble solids, pH and vitamin C in order to investigate the correlations between these variables. HD and FA were the main phenolic compounds found in the apple slices, and HD was the most prevalent phenol. Furthermore, comparison of the CG and EP content revealed that there were more CGs than EPs. The phenol content tended to decrease considerably in the fresh apple slices and water-dipped apple slices but only slightly in the CP from sucrose-dipped apple slices and 0.5% ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slices. The degree of browning increased in the following order: fresh apple slices, water-dipped apple slices, 0.5% ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slices and CP from sucrose-dipped apple slices. The vitamin C content tended to decrease in the fresh apple slices, water-dipped apple slices, 0.5% ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slices and CP from sucrose-dipped apple slices. The pH tended to increase in all sample groups, but the pH of the water-dipped apple slices was lower than that of the comparison group. The CP from sucrose-dipped apple slices had the lowest value of pH. The change in soluble solids tended to increase in all treatment groups, but this increase was less in the CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice. Correlation analysis revealed a high degree of correlation between browning and chlorogenic acid content. The results of the present study show that, when stored in the fridge, the change in phenol ingredient content in apple slices influences the browning of the slices. The results also showed that HD and FA were the main phenolic compounds, while CG was shown to have the greatest influence on browning.

The study was carried out to compare the reaction rate of caramel type browning reaction of xylose(XY), glocose(GL), sucrose(SU), glucose+citric acid(GLCA), glucose+sodiumcitrats(GLSC), glucose+glycine(GLGC) heated at 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, respectively. 1. The color intensity (absorbance at 490 nm) of the browning reaction mixtures tends to increase as the browning reaction time gets longer and the browning of reaction temperature gets higher. But the degree of the intensity of SU and GLCA changes very little. 2. The reaction rate constant (K) was increased rapidly above 120$^{\circ}C$ and appeared maximum at 140$^{\circ}C$, especially GLGC (140.25) was the highest. The activation energy (Ea) of sugars. XY had the highest value (124.36 J/mol), while SU the lowest(104.68 J/mol). Mixtures of GLGC was shown to have higher activation energy (144.94 J/mol) than the sugar alone and Q$\_$10/ values of GLGC were 1.68-2.85. 3. The residual amount of reactants such as xylose, glucose, sucrose, citric acid, sodium citrate and glycine in each browning mixture were decreased upon the browning reaction temperature increasing. In the GLCA, GLSC and GLGC browning mixtures, respectively, the residual amounts of glucose were less than those with amino acid, organic acid and their salt.

This study was carried out to select apple cultivars suited for the fresh cutting or minimal processing as investigating correlation between total phenol and ascorbic acid as browning factors and the enzymatic browning degree. In soluble solid-acid ratio, 'Gamhong' and 'Arisoo' were highest value of 71.69 and 71.52 compared with other cultivars. And the change of lightness (${\Delta}L$) and color (${\Delta}E$) in 'Gamhong' and 'Arisoo' showed lower than other cultivars while 'Arkansas black' was highest change of lightness and color as ${\Delta}L$ 8.27, ${\Delta}E$ 13.86 respectively. Total phenol and ascorbic acid contents in 'Arkansas black' were highest such as 334.3 mg GAE/100 g and 9.22 mg/100 g, respectively. And polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity also was the highest such as 14.43unit in 'Arkansas black'. The correlation test showed browning of apple was significantly dependent on ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}E$, total phenol, ascorbic acid contents and PPO activity (p<0.01). On the contrary, no significant correlation had been determined between the browning and ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO) activity. Thus, it seemed that the browning of apple was not only due to oxidation of ascorbic acid but also total phenol. It was suggested that 'Gamhong' and 'Arisoo' were suitable for fresh cutting or minimal processing.

In this study. we measured the degree of browning of 3 potato culitivars harvested in Korea and compositions such as total phenols, tyrosine and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity. And we compared the extent of browning and composition factors to investigated which was related to the differences among 3 cultivars in browning. The results are as follows. 1. Among 3 culitivars, Sumi browned most after grinding and showed that browning in Sumi was preceded by significant1y shorter lag time. Namjak and Sumi were rapid to brown compared to Daejima. 2. Among 3 culitivars, Sumi contained significant1y more total phenols than did Namjak and Daejima. On the other hand, tyrosine contents by automatic analyzer of Sumi and Namjak were similar and mat of Daejima was the lowest. PPO activities were higher when catechol was used as substrate and Sumi contained more PPO than did the other culitivars. 3. When we compared me browning behavior and composition of 3 culitivars, significant correlation was obtained between browning extent and total phenols, tyrosine and PPO. For me individual cultivar, Sumi which browned much extensively showed higher correlation between browning and PPO. On the other hand, the other cultivars showed higher correlation with total phenols and tyrosine, respectively.

Mass transfer characteristics during osmotic dehydration of carrots were studied as functions of immersion temperature and time, and sugar and salt concentrations. The effect of osmotic dehydration on the degree of browning of air-dried carrots was also evaluated. Increasing the immersion temperature and time, sugar concentration, and salt addition increased water loss, sugar gain, molality and rate of dehydration. The water loss and increases in solids, and molality were rapid in the beginning of the process and then increased slowly during remainder of the process. Increasing 1 or 2% salt concentration in the 40$^{\circ}$Brix sugar solution at 6$0^{\circ}C$ increased water loss and solid gain. Salt addition was not able to significantly affected on water loss and solid gain compare to temperature (40～8$0^{\circ}C$) and sugar concentration (20～60$^{\circ}$Brix) changes due to the low salt concentration. A minimum degree of browning of the air-dried carrots (O.D. = 0.048) could be achieved using binary solutions (40$^{\circ}$Brix sugar solution with 2% salt addition) with 24 min of immersion time compared to control (O.D. = 1.308) or blanching with 24 min of immersion time (O.D. = 0.174).

This study was undertaken to measure the degree of browning and mutagenicity by Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100 strains for roasted barley and sesame seeds used as food materials. The degree of browning of roasted barley for barley tea on the market showed a wide variation; barley for restaurant-use was heavily roasted (5 times) in comparison with homeuse barley. Sesame seeds for oil extraction were more roasted (4 times) than those for seasoning. Water-, ethanol- and ether-soluble fractions from roasted barley and sesame seeds did not show any signs of mutagenicity, even at the extremely high concentrations of the extracts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate at how the quality of citron changed during storage as a result of the browning inhibitor treatment. In the browning inhibitor treatment, Vit.C, Vit.C+NaCl, Vit.C+NaCl+CD substances were used. As a result of investigating the browning degree, Vit.C+NaCl+CD showed the lowest value of 0.76 when stored for 12 weeks. The 𝚫E of the chromaticity value indicated that significant color change occurred when the value was high. As the Vit.C+NaCl+CD mixture showed the lowest value of 46.01 at 25℃, it was found that browning did not occur much compared to other treatments. The change in polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of citron increased as browning progressed. Among the browning inhibitor solutions, Vit.C+NaCl+CD solution showed the lowest value 118.8 u/g at 25℃ after 12 weeks. Based on these findings, it seems that CD mixing solution can be used as a citron browning inhibitor.
