To improve the quality of dehydrated onion, antibrowning agents were screened. Effects of antibrowning agents on the degree of browning and the quality characteristics in dried onions were investigated. Sliced onions were dehydrated in an air drier at $70^{\circ}C$ within 3 percent moisture. Among various antibrowning agents, cyclodextrin and corn starch treatments were selected. Dipping in 4%(w/v) corn starch suspension proved more effective in preventing browning than other treatments. The change of color and the degree of browning showed a correlation. Dried onions treated with antibrowning agents prevented browning at around $24{\sim}32%$ compared to control. The contents of reducing sugar and vitamin C in treated onions had minimally changes.

Various quality characteristics of minimally processed mushroom were measured to select appropriate browning inhibitor. The treatment of extracts from Asparagi radix, cassia and kiwi on mushrooms have a high effectiveness like ascorbic acid or cysteine, known as a good chemical antibrowning agent. As a results of physical quality characteristics of minimally processed mushroom during storage, 1% cysteine and Asparagi radix were highly effective on degree of browning. Total phenol content and polyphenol oxidase activity showed slight differences among the mushroom treated with each browning inhibitors, but it has gradually increased during storage. Thus, these results suggest browning inhibitors from natural materials can be alternatives to prevent browning on mushrooms instead of chemical browning inhibitors including ascorbic acid or cysteine, has been widely used for antibrowning agent.

The oyster is called "milk of sea" which is abundant in taurine, glycogen, cellenium. It could be used in making natural source. Recently, consumers have more interest in natural source because of their diverse preference and its special taste. The goal of this study is to optimize maillard reaction condition for manufacturing natural seasoning using oyster and oyster cooking drip hydrolysate. The result was judged by browning degree and pyrazine, which is flavor components when food heating. Hydrolysate and sugar react according primarily to type of sugar - glucose, xylose and fructose. Xylose was selected as best sugar of browning degree. In the case of sugar contents, all conditions over 1% of sugar contents are almost same. Therefore, the lowest 1% of sugar was selected as appropriate condition. According to the reaction with different temperature, browning degree and pyrazine contents had been increased over $60^{\circ}C$, but the product at $120^{\circ}C$had off-flavored. So, $100^{\circ}C$ is the best condition for the browning reaction. And in accordance with different reaction time, after 6 hours, there was no change in pyrazine and browning reaction. Therefore, to manufacture natural seasoning source, it is optimal to react xylose for maillard reaction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr with hydrolysate of oyster and oyster cooking drip.

The objective of this study was to investigate the enolization reaction and the antioxidant activity of caramelization products (CPs) obtained by caramelization browning of glucose and fructose solutions prepared at a pH ranging from 7.0 to 12.0 at varying temperatures ($80-180^{\circ}C$). The degradation of sugars rapidly increased at a high alkaline pH (10.0-12.0), and fructose degraded more rapidly than glucose (p<0.05). As the pH increased, the degree of sugar enolization was higher in fructose than in glucose. Browning and the formation of intermediate degradation products increased with the increase in heating temperatures. The browning development was dependent upon the type of sugar, and it was generally higher at alkaline pH than at neutral pH. The reducing power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the CPs increased with the increase in browning and formation of large amounts of intermediates. Therefore, the CPs with pronounced antioxidant activity can be prepared by heating fructose or glucose solutions that have a very alkaline pH to high temperatures.

Changes in the quality characteristics of doenjang prepared with a meju containing components of Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica gigas and Corni fructus during storage were evaluated. Three types of doenjang produced using each of these components showed lower Hunter's L and a values than the values of the control during the initial stage of storage: however, these values were similar to those of the control after 60 days of storage. Doenjang containing A. gigas showed a similar degree of browning to that of the control during the early stage of storage, while the degree of browning observed in the other samples was much higher than that og the control during this period. Despite these initial differences, the browning in all samples became similar after extended storage. The level of acidity increased gradually for up to 60 days, after which it decreased slightly. The pH of all treatments decreased with storage time. The amino-N contents of all types of doenjang increased gradually, reaching peak values after 60 days. Doenjang with A. senticosus and A. gigas had a strong characteristic flavor that reduced the native flavor of doenjang. Doenjang with C. fructus showed a similar overall palatability to that of the control.

Changes in apple slices during cold storage were investigated by evaluating the physical properties such as degree of browning and compression force. Chemical properties such as PPO activity and total phenol contents were also determined and sensory evaluation was carried out. The correlation analysis between browning parameters was conducted. Degree of browning was increased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP(caramelization product) from sucrose-dipped apple slice. PPO activity was increased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP(caramelization product) from sucrose-dipped apple slice. Amongst several treatments, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice showed the lowest degree of browning and PPO activity. Total phenol contents were decreased from 60 to 56.2 mg and from 59.6 to 56.0 mg in fresh apple slice and water-dipped apple slice, respectively, but CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice and $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice were increased from 51.9 to 52.8 mg and from 54.1 to 54.4 mg, respectively, showing the smallest changes when compared with fresh apple slice and water-dipped apple slice. Compression forces of apple slices during cold storage were decreased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice. In sensory evaluation of apple slices during cold storage, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice had higher score than the other treatments. In addition, a significant correlation was observed among degree of browning, PPO activity and phenol content. Therefore, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice seems to be effective in controlling of enzymatic browning during cold storage. In addition, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice seems to be effective on other several factors. These results suggest that CP from sucrose should be a potential source for controlling enzymatic browning during storage of vegetables and fruits.

Browning index rised rapidly within 15 hrs to 83% of total browning in Jang - ma (Dioscorea batatas Decne) tissues at $40^{\circ}C$ while 37% in Dan - ma. Therefore, the degree of browning process of Jang - ma was faster than that of Dan - ma. Browning in Jang - ma was inhibited by treatments of NaCl which showed 48 and 39% inhibition, respectively, after 48 hrs of incubation. Also the treatment of $80^{\circ}C$ heating showed excellent inhibition within 24 hrs. In the case of Dan - ma, browning process was inhibited by treatments of 1 and 0.5M NaCl and $70^{\circ}C$ heating, which showed 43, 26 and 23% inhibition, respectively, after 48 hrs of incubation.

Hunter's color value "a" in dried-persimmon of table and full ripe fruit was higher than that in unripe fruit. In case of soluble solid content, full ripe fruit was $50^{\circ}Brix$, the highest degree, while unripe fruit was $40^{\circ}Brix$, the lowest degree. PPO activation of unripe fruit was 4.7, which was higher than table-ripe fruit (0.7) and full ripe (1.0). Polyphenol oxidase activation remained even while drying, but there was no difference in PPO activation degree as drying period increased. Total phenol content of unripe fruit was 101.4, which was higher than table-ripe fruit (57.5) and full ripe fruit (67.4). Total phenol content level increased as drying period increased, which was based on fresh weight. Hardness of unripe and table ripe fruit continued to decrease until three weeks during softening. After that, hardness was high and it started drying. However, in full ripe fruit, hardness increased after two weeks and softening was fast during the drying period, and its weight reduction rate was lower than that of unripe and table ripe fruit.

This report decribes the changes of internal browning and PPO in apples, when the method of storage was changed in the condition of low temperature. Internal browning was found more Fuji harvested in November than Fuji in October. The degree of internal browning was the highest during the storage of 0.09mm 2% and 0.06mm 2%, 0.06mm 20% was followed. In the subatmospheric storage with complete remove of $CO_2$ internal browning was not observed. During the storage of P.E. film bag, Fuji havested in November was higher than in October, and Fuji on 0.09mm 2% was higher than in 0.06mm, and Fuji during the storage of P.E. film bag was increased in PPO activity and PPO specific activity. During the subatmospheric storage with complete remove of $CO_2$, PPO activity of Fuji was little changed, but it's PPO specific activity was continuously decreased. PPO activity of Ralls was more higher than PPO activity of Fuji. PPO activity and PPO specific activity during the early stage of storage and the end stage of storage were little changed. Internal browning of Fuji was more effected $CO_2$ injury than chilling injury. There is no relation between internal browning and degree of PPO activity was effected by $CO_2$ and slightly related with internal browning.

Purpose: This study chose Vaccinium oldhamii as a material to complement the redness of Sansuyu, which is unstable to heat, to Sansuyu pudding. Methods: The level of browning and hunter color of Corni fructus juice supernatant (CFS) and Vaccinium oldhamii extract (VOE) were examined and dependent on heating time and storage period. Results: A value (redness) of VOE was high, browning was moderate during the storage period, and though the storage period was extended, the value stayed stable, meaning overall redness was maintained. With the increase in the amount of added VOD, the color preference of Sansuyu pudding, and D (VOE 10.0%) was marked the highest at 5.80. As for the preference of texture, B (VOE not added) was the highest at 5.35, but C (VOE 5.0%) was marked the highest at 5.10 for overall preference. The DPPH radical scavenging ability of Sansuyu pudding was 15.86-21.39% at a concentration of 1,000 ppm, and the total polyphenol content was 136.76-139.62 mg/100 g. Since the redness of Sansuyu is unstable to heat and then is heated, its degree of browning and b value (degree of yellowness) increases. Conclusion: So if a material with a red color that is stable to heat is added to Sansuyu, the preference of Sansuyu products will improve.
