Seasonal variation in the contents of sugars (fructose, glucose, and sucrose) in the floret, leaf, and stem of broccoli were studied in ten commercial broccoli cultivars. Plants were grown in the spring and fall seasons in 2011. In both seasons, glucose was the major constituent, comprising about 50% of the total sugar content in the floret and leaf tissue of most cultivars, whereas the broccoli stem showed an unusual pattern of accumulation. Sucrose exhibited greater cultivar dependency as well as seasonal variation compared to fructose and glucose in floret and leaf tissues. The floret tissue had a higher total content of sugar in the spring compared to the fall due to an increase in glucose and fructose. However, most of the leaf and stem tissues of broccoli had a higher total sugar content in the fall compared to the spring. Furthermore, stem and leaf tissues possessed a relatively higher total sugar content compared to floret tissue in both seasons. 'Grandeur' broccoli contained a significantly greater amount of total sugar in both floret and leaf tissues in both seasons, whereas 'YuDoRi No.1' broccoli exhibited the highest total content of sugar in stem tissue. At overall, the results showed significant influences of genotype, plant part and growing season on sugar content in broccoli.

Sweetpotato is rich in starch, which is converted to sugar during storage due to enzymatic hydrolysis. The sugar content of sweetpotato is a component related to taste and storability. In this study, the sugar content (fructose, glucose, maltose, sucrose and total sugar content) of 94 genotypes was evaluated and the GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Study) was conducted to search for candidate genes for sugar content. The fructose and glucose content were 0.2 ~ 8.8 and 0.2 ~ 9.4 g/100g, respectively. The maltose, sucrose and total sugar content were 0.2 ~ 9.1,3.2 - 30.0 and 7.9 ~ 40.2 g/100g, respectively. The fructose and glucose showed a positive correlation (0.98). The 94 genotypes were genotyped with genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and aligned against the reference genome sequences of sweetpotato. The GBS libraries from 94 genotypes were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeqXten system, and 1,339,892 SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) were generated. Filtering for < 60% missing rate and > 0.05 minor allele frequency resulted in a total of 44,255 SNPs used in GWAS. The GAPIT (Genome Association and Prediction Integrated Tool) was used to conduct based on the mean of sugar content with a Bonferroni-corrected chromosome-wide significance threshold with a -logio(P) of 5.95. The significant SNPs were obtained with fructose (seven), glucose (six), maltose (four) and sucrose (nine). There were several genes related to sugar content around the significant SNPs such as sugar transport protein 8-like, probable galactose-1 -phosphate uridyltransferase-like and beta-amylase. These results will contribute to understanding of sugar content and conversion in sweetpotato.

The sugar contents of Dolwoe, which were prepared in the laboratory and marketed Korean products of Dolwoe, Japanese product of Dolwoe and Korean-roasted products of Dolwoe were analyzed and compared. The contents of total sugar and reducing sugar of stem in prepared Dolwoe tea were 2 times higher than those of leaf. The sugar content of Korean product was similar to that of Japanese, but the contents of total sugar and reducing sugar in Korean-roasted sample decreased to 17.2% and 40.9%, respectively. It was confirmed that free sugar in Dolwoe tea was composed of rhamnose, fructose, glucose and sucrose. The ratio of free sugar content was quite different between Dolwoe-leaf tea and Dolwoe-stem tea. Comparing the free sugar content in prepared Dolwoe tea, glucose was the highest followed by fructose, sucrose and rhamnose. On the other hand, in marketed Dolwoe tea, glucose was the highest substance and followed by fructose, rhamnose and sucrose. It was found that rhamnose content in Japanese product was approximately 6 times more than that of Korean.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of various honeys originating from different sources, and to identify factors potentially useful for distinguishing the honey sources. The sugar composition, moisture content and total acidity of twenty six honey samples were analyzed. The moisture contents were lowest in honeys from Acacia and were not greatly different with regard to honey sources. Fructose content was highest, followed by glucose, sucrose and maltose in all kinds of honey. Sugar composition did not show any reliable criterion useful for identifying the sources of honey samples. The fructose/glucose ratio did not differ among samples, however the ratios in honeys from Acacia and Chestnut were higher than honey from poly floral sources. The total acidity of honeys ranged 10.30-12.45 meq/kg regard-less of the source, thus acidity is not a useful criterion for identifying the honey source.

A variation of free sugar and amino acid contents of pears during the ripening period was determined by HPLC and amino acid analyzer. The research results are as follws: Fructose, glucose and sucrose were present in the pears. The contents of fructose was the highest, followed by glucose and sucrose in order. The contents of total sugar in Shingo and Youngsan was similar, but the contents of frucose in Shingo was lower and the contents of sucrose was higher than that of Youngsan (p＜.001). During the ripening period, the contents of fructose and glucose gradually increased during the harvesting season and then somewhat decreased. The contents of sucrose increased continually, while the contents of total free sugar reached the maximum during the harvesting season, it was 10.41%, 10.29% in Shingo and Youngsan and then decreased gradually. The contents of total free amino acid in Shingo was higher than that of Youngsan. A variation ratio and the composition of amino acid in Shingo and Youngsan during the ripening period didn＇t make a significant difference. The major free amino acid of the pears was in the order of aspartic acid, serine, threonine, histidine, glutamic acid, valine, arginine, and alanine. During the ripening period, aspartic acid, threonin, serine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, histidine, and Iysine increased gradually. Glutamic acid, alanine, valine, arginine didn＇t show much change. The contents of total free amino acid increased during the ripening period.

Banana purchased from local market was stored at 5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days after which free sugars and organic acids were determined. The amount of glucose, fructose and sucrose was $0.30{\sim}0.36%$ at the initial time of storage. The changes of free sugar was influenced by storage temperature. At $5^{\circ}C$, little change in the content of each free sugar was measured and sucrose had a slightly higher value. Glucose and fructose showed a predominant increase while sucrose content decreased at 15 and $25^{\circ}C$. The values of total sugar, reducing sugar, glucose, fructose and free sugar contents at $25^{\circ}C$ were higher than at any other storage temperature. Citrate, malate, lactate and acetate in Banana were identified as organic acids. The total amount of organic acid decreased from $305{\sim}373.3$ mg% at the initial time to $45.9{\sim}67.9$ mg% after 9 days of storage. The reduction of organic acids contents was relatively high at $25^{\circ}C$.

The component and content of free sugar in mulberry fruits were evaluated. In all accessions, fructose and glucose were identified as the major free sugar. The ratio of two components appeared in the same level. But CV (coefficient of variation. ％) of fructose and glucose were 23.6％, 23.4％, respectively. It might suggest that varietal variation exists in sugar contents. The mean of total free sugars were 9.11${\pm}$2.14％. Among the tested 49 accessions, ‘Geunanosang’ showed the highest total free sugars in 14.67％, whereas ‘Cheongsipyung’ showed the lowest total free sugars in 5.57％. Also fruity characteristics as well as total free sugars to select the desirable mulberry varieties for the production of fruit were researched and analyzed. From that results, four suitable varieties such as ‘Hwansipchosaeng’, ‘Junggojo’, ‘ Kaery-angchosaengsipmunja’, and ‘Geunanosang’ were selected.
