A new cultivar 'Daewang' strawberry was developed by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science for forcing culture in 2010. The cultivar 'Daewang' was originated from the cross between 'Maehyang', a high firmness cultivar and 'Wongyo 3111', a high sugar content in 2006. The cultivar shows erect plant type, vigorous growth habit, early flower bud differentiation with 12-15 flowers per cluster from planting on healthy nursery. Fruits of 'Daewang' are conical type having a bright red skin color, and 16-17 g in an average weight. 'Daewang' is suitable for forcing culture as time required for dormancy breaking ranged between 50 and 100 hours. This cultivar has excellent taste for high sugar/acid ratio as sugar content of $11.1^{\circ}Brix$, acidity of 0.39% with abundant texture and can be harvested by late spring because the fruit firmness of 'Daewang' was $18.2g{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ that was about $7.9g{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ higher than $10.3g{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ of 'Akihime' cultivar. But although total yield is not significantly different from 'Akihime' cultivar, its marketable yield is remarkably higher than that of 'Akihime' cultivar. Disease and pest resistance of 'Daewang' have a tendency to sensitive powdery mildew, anthracnose and spotted spider.

This study was conducted to increase grape quality by treating plant growth regulator (PGR) in 'Campbell Early' grape. Foliar application of gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) at $5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ on flower cluster of 'Campbell Early' grape at 3-5 unfolded leaf stage effectively increased columella length, berry weight, soluble solid contents and promoted skin color development. Foliar application of $20mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ abscisic acid (ABA) mixed with $5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of $GA_3$ on flower cluster of 'Campbell Early' grape at 3-4 unfolded leaf stage effectively increased skin anthocyanin contents without any detrimental effects on berry enlargement and columella growth. Foliar application of $2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ thidiazuron mixed with $5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of $GA_3$ on flower cluster of 'Campbell Early' grape at 3-4 unfolded leaf stage effectively increased fruit quality indices such as higher soluble solid contents and less titratable acidity.

The crude polysaccharide fraction from fruit body of Auricularia auricula were obtained by using hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation. As the crude polysaccharide fraction contained the brownish dark colored compounds, the adsorption study of pigments from the crude polysaccharide using activated carbon was carried out. The pigment compounds showed an absorption characteristic with $\lambda_{max}$ of 230 nm and the absorbance at 230 nm was taken as color intensity. Adsorption capacity of pigment depended on increase of the activated carbon to sample loading ratio. The adsorption capacity increased with increase of pH and temperature in the pH range of 3.0-7.0 and temperature range of 25-40$^{\circ}C$, but decreased in the temperature range of 40-70$^{\circ}C$. The optimum capacity was obtained at addition of 16.7 mg activated carbon per mL sample solution (concentration = 3 mg/mL) at pH of 7.0 and temperature of 40$^{\circ}C$. Treatment for 10 min was sufficient to achieve the 80% decolorization and 1.25 fold purification of polysaccharide. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second-order kinetic model provided the best fitting for adsorption of the brownish dark colored compounds onto powdered active carbon. The activation energies of adsorption from the Langmuir isotherm parameter in the ranges of 25-40$^{\circ}C$ and 40-70$^{\circ}C$ was -2.54 and 4.38 kcal/g, respectively. The results of low activation energy also indicated that the adsorption process was a physical adsorption which was controlled by diffnsion.

Four cultivar of astringent persimmon(Diospyros kaki L. Cheongdobansi, Sagkoksi, Gojongsi, and Hachiya) were evaluated for quality during 160 days storage in condition of air, 12%CO$_2$+3%CO$_2$, and 16%CO$_2$+ 3%CO$_2$at 0∼2$^{\circ}C$. In the fruits of Cheongdobansi, Sagkoksi, and Gojongsi cultivar, the soluble solids content did not change significantly during storage among treatment, but in the fruits of Hachiya cultivar it decreased during storage in the codition of high CO$_2$concentration. Fruits of Cheongdobansi and Sagkoksi, which were stored in higher CO$_2$concentration, had firmer hardness, less weight loss and decay, showed greater rentention of initial peel color, maintained best qulity than air-stored fruit, but had high tannin contents. And it was necessory to remove astringency for edible fruits.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a non-seasonal, economically important, cucurbit cultivated throughout the world with Asia as a continent contributing the most. As part of the effort in diversifying watermelon genetic resources in the already cultivated group, this study was devoted to providing baseline data on morphological quality traits and health-beneficial phytonutrients of watermelon germplasm collections, thereby promoting watermelon research and cultivation programs. To this end, we reported morphological traits, citrulline, and arginine levels of watermelon genetic resources obtained from the gene bank of Agrobiodiversity Center, Republic of Korea, and discussed the relationship between each other. Diverse characteristics were observed among many of the traits. But, most of the genetic resources (>90%) were either red or pink-fleshed. Korean origin fruits contained intermediate levels of soluble solid content (SSC) while The USA, Russian, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Taiwan, and Uruguay originated had generally the highest levels of soluble solids. The citrulline and arginine contents using HPLC method were ranged from 6.9 to 52.1 mg/g (average, 27.3 mg/g) and 1.8 to 21.3 mg/g (average, 9.8 mg/g), respectively. The citrulline content determined using Citrulline Assay Kit was ranged from 6.5 to 42.8 mg/g (average, 27.0 mg/g). Resources with high citrulline and arginine levels contained low SSC. Whereas, red- and pink-colored flesh samples had less citrulline compared to yellow and orange. In addition to the profiling of morphological characters and phytonutrients, molecular marker characterization and identification of sources of resistance to diseases and pests are recommended for a more complete diversity analysis of watermelon genetic resources.

'Mantari' is a new variety of oyster mushroom for bottle culture. It was bred by crossing monokaryons isolated from 'DM11732' and 'Chunchu-2ho'. The optimum temperature for the mycelial growth was $26{\sim}29^{\circ}C$ on PDA medium, and that for the primordia formation and the growth of fruiting body of 'Mantari' on sawdust media was $18^{\circ}C$ and $16^{\circ}C$. It took 32 days to finish spawn running, 4 days to finish primordia formation, and 3 days to finish fruiting body growth in the bottle culture. The fruitcharacteristics: the pileus was round and gray-black in color, and the stipe was long, thin, and light gray in color. The yield per bottle was 179 g/900 ml and was 5% higher than that of the control variety (Chunchu-2ho). The physical properties of the fruit body were as follows: springiness, cohesive, gumminess, and brittleness of the stipe tissue were 96%, 76%, 160 g, and 15 kg, respectively.

Persimmons on the trees are often exposed to weather condition of cold temperature before harvest, which affects the fruit quality at harvest time and later storage. This study investigated the effect of the harvest season temperature on the storage quality of 'Fuyu' sweet persimmons. Monitoring the temperature changes in the orchard showed five times of cold temperature below the freezing temperature of persimmon, $-2.1^{\circ}C$, in the harvesting period between mid October and mid November with the lowest being as low as $-5.4^{\circ}C$. Among three different harvestings, the tertiary one at mid November showed decreased 'L' value and consistently high 'a' value of color index and high reduction in hardness during 150 days storage of fruits at $0^{\circ}C$ showing freeze-injured symptoms, compared to the first one at mid October and the second one at early November. The fruits of first harvest maintained consistently hard texture with increased 'a' color value probably due to postharvest ripening. The tertiary harvest exhibited increase in fructose and glucose contents and decrease in sucrose of the fruits, being very different from the first and secondary harvests which maintained constant level of all three free sugars. Mid November with possible sudden temperature drop is unsuitable period for harvesting sweet persimmons in the quality at harvest and later storage, and thus the harvest should be designed to be done before that time.

Early harvested Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) was treated with hot air at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, and 6 hours and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks and additional one week at 18$^{\circ}C$ (simulated shelf-life) in order to examine the effect of mild heat treatment on the storage quality of the citrus fruits. Quality attributes of the sample fruits evaluated during storage included the respiration rate, internal gas composition, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, flesh weight loss, firmness, peel color, decay ratio, and sensory properties. The initial respiration rates, just after hot air treatment, were significantly higher in the heat-treated fruits compared to the untreated. However, during storage at 5$^{\circ}C$, the respiration rates showed a similar level in all treatments. Internal gas composition exhibited no significant difference between the heat-treated and untreated samples. Hot air treatment also exerted no significant effects on the pH, titratable acidity, soluble solid contents, flesh weight loss, firmness, and peel color of the fruits during the whole storage period. The decay ratio was manifestly lower in the heat-treated fruits than the untreated. For sensory attributes including visual and organoleptic quality, no significant difference was observed among sample fruits. Results suggested that mild heat treatment with hot air at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4-6 hours could be used as an effective preconditioning method to keep the postharvest quality of Satsuma mandarin by reducing the decay incidence remarkably during storage.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of ripe fruit based on harvest date and to examine the ripening phase of 'Seolhyang' strawberry suitable for room temperature, cold-chain, and low temperature distribution. The strawberries were harvested six times between December 20 to May 9. The appropriate maturity of strawberries is characterized by the firmness of approximately 2.9-3.0 N, and SSC remained above 8.6 °Brix until March and declined after April. The quality index values that determine the maturity stage of strawberries should be red color, Hunter a value ranging from 32 to 37, and hue angle of 36-45℃. For the after-ripening experiment, the progression rate of the ripening stage determined based on strawberry color was 10%/day at room temperature, 5%/day at 10-12℃, and 3%/day at 5℃. Thus, strawberries should be harvested at 80% coloring stage for distribution at room temperature and at least 90% for low temperature storage to maintain the merchantability. Besides, strawberries harvested at 70% coloring stage at room temperature and strawberries harvested below 80% coloring stage at low temperatures below 5℃ had lost commercial value before reaching 100% coloring stage.
