The hydration and cooking rate of two rice varieties, Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 23 (Indica), were investigated in terms of mathematical rate equations. The hydration rate at temperatures of $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ was examined by weighing method. The absorption of liquid water by rice grain was directly proportional to the square root of the hydration time. The diffusion coefficient was given by the Arrhenius relation : $D=3.151{\times}10^{-3}\exp\;(-4000/RT)$ for Akibare and $D=5.853{\times}10^{-3}\exp\;(-5700/RT)$ for Milyang 23. Milyang 23 was cooked at a faster rate than Akibare. The activation energies for cooking were in the range of 18 000 cal/mole at $90{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ and 9,000cal/mole at $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$. However, Milyang 23 showed slightly higher activation energy of cooking at $90{\sim}100^{\circ}C$. Adhesiveness and amylograph viscosities at all reference points for Milyang 23 were higher than those for Akibare.

We investigated the physical and cooking properties of commercial noodles supplemented with functional ingredients. RVA (rapid visco analyzer), color, water activity, texture and cooking properties were tested. Noodles containing kudzu showed the highest initial gelatinization temperatures, whereas noodle containing kelp displayed the highest peak viscosity and set back. Holding strength and final viscosity were highest in noodles containing mugwort. The L value ($94.89{\pm}0.02$) of wheat flour noodle was the highest. Among functional noodles, L value ($88.65{\pm}0.01$) and a value ($7.42{\pm}0.02$) of cactus noodle were the highest, whereas b value of pumpkin noodle was $40.81{\pm}0.03$, which was higher value than in other noodles. Water activity of cactus noodle was highest (0.455), but the difference was not significant. Cooking properties (including weight, volume, and water absorption) and turbidity of pumpkin noodles showed the highest growth rate. In terms of texture, hardness was highest ($12836.8{\pm}7.1g/cm^2$) in green tea noodles, and cohesiveness and gumminess were highest in kelp and mugwort noodles. Considerig the quality characteristics of noodles supplemented with mulberry leaves, cactus, mugwort, green tea, pumpkin, kelp or kudzu, pumpkin noodles were most stable in terms of gelatinization and cooking properties.

Moisture sorption and cooking properties of two varieties of Korean soybean(Jangyup and Whangkeum) were studied. When soybean was stored under the various relative humidities (RH) of 33-86% at 16'E for 125hours, its sorption behaviors were divided into two : desorption at the RHs of 33 and 44% and adsorption at the RHs of above 55%. The sorption rate was decreased rapidly during storage. In comparisons with only storage humidities, the sample stored at higher RH held the higher sorption rate. The relationships between storage time and sorption rate were applied well to the equation, log dw/dt= b log t+ log a, where w is the moisture content(%, db), t is time(hour) and a and b are the parameters which were calculated from the experimental data. The calculated moisture contents from the equation agreed well with the measured moisture contents. On the other hand, the cooking degrees of soybean which was steamed in an autoclave at $106-121^{\circ}C$ were compared by the maximum cutting forces. The cooking time to attain the same degree of cooking decreased logarithmically as the cooking temperature increased. The z-values which were calculated from the time-temperature combinations that gave the same degree of cooking for Jangyup and Whangkeum were $13.3^{\circ}C$ and $12.8^{\circ}C$ respectively.

General component and mineral contents according to species of Capsicum annuum were investigated. In addition, chuichung cucumber, white dadagi cucumber, and yellowish overripe cucumber were cooked by using seven different methods (boiling, steaming, pan-cooking, roasting, pan-frying, deep-frying, and microwaving), and retention rates of general components and minerals according to species were evaluated. Weight loss was observed in all cucumber species using all cooking methods. Most general component and mineral contents of C. annuum samples were significantly different according to species, and cooking method (P<0.05), whereas Fe and Cu contents were not significantly affected by species and cooking method, respectively. As a result, the highest protein, fat, ash contents were detected in deep-fried C. annuum, and high moisture contents were detected in raw, boiled, and steamed C. annuum. High mineral contents were detected in roasted and microwaved chuichung cucumber, deep-fried white dadagi cucumber and yellowish overripe cucumber. Retention rates of C. annuum by cooking method, ranged from 30~100% for protein, 10~100% for fat, 35~90% for moisture, and 30~100% for ash. High retention rates were observed for minerals in boiled, roasted, and microwaved chuichung cucumber, and deep-fried white dadagi cucumber and yellowish overripe cucumber. However, in yellowish overripe cucumber, mineral retentions rate were remarkably lowered by boiling and steaming, resulting in rates of 20~45%. These results were the data used as the basis for development of cucumbers.

Effects of cultivars, cooking, and processing on hemagglutinin activity were evaluated by observing macroscopic hemagglutination using serial twofold dilution of trypsinized human blood type-O or rabbit blood. Hemagglutinin activity was expressed as maximal geometric dilution fold. Agglutination of rabbit blood was more sensitive compared to human blood. Hemagglutinin activities of glyphosate-tolerant soybean, HS2906, and imported conventional soybeans were not statistically different, although significant differences were observed among conventional soybean cultivars cultivated in Korea (286 to 1535 HU/mg protein). Time required to reach fifty percent inhibition of hemagglutinin activity ($IT_{50}$) value decreased with increasing cooking temperature and pressure. Most effective conventional cooking method to inhibit hemagglutinin activity was pressure-cooking ($IT_{50}$: 1.36 min). Calculated activation energy based on reaction rate constant was 4.88 kcal. No hemagglutinin activities were detected in processed soybean products such as tofu, soybean paste, and soysauce.

The cooking properties of imported rice (Thai and Chinese rice, harvested in 1998) were compared with those of domestic rice(Chuchung byeo, harvested in 1998 and 1997). The morphology, general composition, color value, RVA viscosities, cooking properties, texture and sensory properties of raw or cooked rice were measured. Thai rice showed lower water absorption rate than others, however its amylose content and gelatinization temperature were higher. While the cooked Thai rice showed the least preference due to its hard and nonsticky properties, Korean rice harvested in 1998 showed the greatest cooking quality in stickiness and softness. Although Chinese rice was inferior to Korean rice harvested in 1998, there were no significant difference between Chinese rice harvested in 1998 and Korean rice harvested in 1997.

This study was performed to study tile organophosphorus pesticides residues removal effect of rice and Korean cabbage. Four organophosphorus pesticides(EPN, diazinon, fenithrithion, phenthoate) were artificially added to rice and Korean cabbage. Then they were washed with water and cooked differently to analyze the amount of pesticides residues reduced. The result of the study were as following; 1. The removal rate of pesticides residue on rice was 15.5∼35.4% an[ the amount of washing water was more influential in removal rate than number of washing. 2. The removal rate of pesticides residues through cooking processes after rice washing was 72.1∼77.8%. 3. The removal rate of pesticides residues through washing and cooking processes on the Korean cabbage were 18.4∼41.0%, 22.8∼92.7%. 4. As the amount of washing water of Korean cabbage increase, pesticides removal effect was higher. 5. Squeezing out the washed water from the cabbage increased pesticides removal rate.

Alkaline sulfite-anthraquinone(AQ) cooking was examined for their effectiveness in delignification of pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) bark. Better delignification was achieved with alkaline sulfite liquor compared to monosulfite liquor, but the degree of delignification was less than 90% indicating need for improvement in cooking method, Remarkable increase in the rate of cooking and delignification was obtained by the simple addition of AQ to the alkaline sulfite cooking, Selectivity of delignification was also improved by the addition of AQ, Consequently, 90% of delignification was achieved with the addition of 0.2% AQ to the alkaline sulfite cooking. The selectivity of delignification was slightly affected by cooking temperature and NaOH concentration during alkaline sulfite-AQ cooking of the bark. The selectivity of delignification was highly affected by the concentration of $Na_2SO_3$, and the optimum concentration of $Na_2SO_3$ for the high delignification was 30% as $Na_2O$.

Vitamin retention in rice bran during the extrusion cooking adapted for the rice bran stabilization was studied. The rice bran of different moisture content (9.5% and 15.6%) were extruded with cooking extruder (screw dia: 100mm. strew rpm:900. L/D ratio: 10.0) under the given conditions of specific power consumption(42.1 67.9 W/Kg) and extrusion temperatures $(99-135^{\circ}C)$. The affected retention rates of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin in extruded rice bran were determined. The extruded rice bran with higher moisture level had a lower or similar vitamin retention rate at lower specific power consumption and extrusion temperatures, relatively. The vitamin retention in extruded rice brail with the same moisture level were gradually decreased by the increased specific politer consumption and extrusion temperatures. The vitamin retention of rice bran during the extrusion cooking for the rice bran stabilization were observed as 89.9-97.0% for thiamin, 83.4- 97.3% for riboflavin and 94.0 - 97.7% for niacin, respectively.
