Since 2000, severe rots on aerial and underground parts of paprika( Capsicum annum L.) has occurred in most cultivation glasshouses throughout the country. Totally 169 isolates of a fungus were consistently isolated from the diseased plant tissues of fruits, stems, branches, and roots collected from 19 farms in six provinces. Anamorph stage of the fungus was identified as Fusarium solani based on morphological characteristics. However, the fungus readily produced sexual structure of perithecia on infected plant tissues and on agar medium. Since the fungus formed abundant perithecia by single isolate, it was considered as a homothallic strain of Nectria hematococn, the teleomorph of F. solani. Irregularly globose perithecia with orange to red color formed sparsely to gregariously on dead tissues of fruits and basal stems at the 3ate infection stage, which is a diagnostic sign for the disease. Abundancy of perithecium varied among isolates and they sized 125-220$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diam. Asci enveloping eight ascospores were cylindrical and measured 60-80x8-12$\mu\textrm{m}$. Ellipsoid to obovate ascospores are two-celled and measured 11-l8${\times}$4-7$\mu\textrm{m}$. Ascospores are hyaline, slightly constricted at the central septum, and revealed longitudinal striations that is a typical trait of the species. This fungus that has never been reported in Korea previously became a threat to paprika cultivation because of its strong pathogenicity and nationwide distribution.

'Heukisul' (3x) a cross made in 2000 between 'Kyoho' (4x, Vitis sp.) and 'Thompson Seedless' (2x, Vitis vinifera L.) in a seedless grape breeding program, was preliminarily selected in 2004. After regional adaptation testing under the name of 'KTS014' at two sites during 2004-2005, it was finally selected in 2006. 'Heukisul' showed low incidence of berry shattering, resulting in a good berry set compared to 'King Dela'. 'Heukisul' had budburst on April 23, flowering on in June 9, and fruit maturation in September 29 (almost the same as 'King Dela' at Chuncheon), and it was considered a midseason cultivar. The mean berry weight was 4.0 g, about 0.7 g heavier than 'King Dela', and mean soluble solids were $21.9\;^{\circ}Brix$, about $2.7\;^{\circ}Brix$ higher than 'King Dela'. The skin color was dark violet with abundant bloom and the flesh was very firm. Although the cluster was compact, it required no cluster thinning. Also the incidence of berry cracking was very low.

We compared the quality of 'Fuji' apples (Malus ${\times}$ domestica) from trees whose leaves were not removed (no artificial defoliation; NAD) with apples from trees that underwent early defoliation (ED, treated in mid September and early October) and conventional defoliation (CD, treated in early and mid October). The experiment was conducted in three consecutive years using 15-year-old 'Fuji' apple grafted on Malus prunifolia. Fruits were harvested on November 7, 16 or 12 in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Compared to NAD treatment, ED and CD treatment reduced the fresh weight by 4.7% and 0.6%, respectively. The soluble solids content of NAD apples ($14.4^{\circ}Brix$) was slightly higher than that of CD ($14.1^{\circ}Brix$) and ED ($14.0^{\circ}Brix$) apples. Soluble sugar content, flesh firmness, water-core index, and titratable acidity were not affected by defoliation treatment regardless of treatment timing. The skin blush index of NAD apples (2.3) was inferior to that of CD (3.3) and ED (3.4)- treated apples. Furthermore, artificial defoliation treatments increased skin redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) and significantly improved the degree of skin blush compared to NAD fruits.

Raisins (Thailand), dried mangos (Philippines), and dried figs (Iran) were gamma-irradiated (0~5 kGy), and their quality and detection characteristics were investigated. Microbiological characteristics were at safe levels when samples were irradiated at higher than 3 kGy. In color change after irradiation, dried mangoes were the most sensitive. Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) measurement was not applicable to dried fruits, showing negative or intermediate values for the irradiated samples. Thermoluminescence (TL) measurement was good for dried figs, exhibiting a glow curve in range of $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, where the signal intensity was dependent on the irradiation dose. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurement was suitable for raisins and dried mangos, resulting in dose-dependent radiation-induced sugar radical signals.

This study investigated how different amounts of omija fruit (Schisandra chinensis) juice concentrate (0~5%) in sauces affect perceived sensory and quality characteristics. Sauce samples were subjected to chemical analysis for different quality parameters such as Brix, reducing sugars, total phenolic compounds, alpha-amylase inhibition, and alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity. A decrease in pH values was observed with increasing concentrate percentage. As for color, the more concentrate added, the more the L value decreased and other values ($a^*$, $b^*$ and ${\Delta}E$ values) increased. Hypoglycemic effect, as determined by alpha-glucosidase, valuably increased in 4% juice concentrate. As the percentage of concentrate increased, the chemical component values also increased. Significant differences were observed between sauce samples in the sensory evaluation, with the highest overall acceptance being sauce containing 4% juice concentrate. When evaluated with marinated chicken breasts, sauce containing 5% juice concentrate achieved the maximum score.

Lycopene is the red-coloured carotenoid predominantly found in tomato fruit and one of the major carotenoids in the diets of North American and Europeans. Interest in lycopene is growing rapidly following the recent publication of its effects as a natural antioxidant and prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancers. Lycopene, a polyene hydrocarbon carotenoid haying 13 double bond, of which 11 are conjugated double bonds in a linear array exhibits a strong antioxidant property almost twice as strong as that of ${\beta}$-carotene. Lycopene has been shown in recent epidemiological and experimental studies to protect against oxidative damage of DNA which plays an important part in development of various cancer. Lycopene also contribute towards reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by preventing oxidation of low-density lipoprotein(LDL) cholesterol. This review summarize our knowledge and the current understanding of lycopene in human health as well as the results of experiments we conducted. We conducted experiments for investigating the effects of antioxidant in broiler and the possibilities of production of high quality eggs containing lycopene by the dietary lycopene supplementation with synthetic lycopene or tomato paste. The results shows that thiobarbituric acid reaction substances(TBARS) values in process of LDL oxidation in blood serum of broiler were significantly decreased by dietary lycopene and tomato paste. The dietary lycopene supplementation resulted in improved egg yolk color and in decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) of egg yolk after 4 wk of storage at room temperature significantly(P<0.05). The dietary tomato paste was more effective in the MDA reduction compared to the lycopene(P<0.05). The contents of lycopene in egg yolk of the lycopene supplementation groups were significantly higher than those of the control group.

Vegetables and fruits contain a great deal of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and phytochemicals. Therefore, healthconcious consumer prefer beverage made from fresh fruits and vegetables due to their health benefits. This study was conducted to investigate differences in nutritional composition and sensory characteristics of juices depending on the apparatus used: either a low-speed juicer or high-speed blender. All ingredients could be made into juice without addition of water using the low speed juicer. However, addition of water was necessary to produce juice with the high-speed blender. Phenol and flavonoid content, were higher in juice made with the low-speed juicer than that produced with the high-speed blender and were correlated with DPPH radical scavenging ability. Protease activity of pineapples juices was not significantly different for the two methods, but protease activity of kiwi juice was about 8 times higher in juice made with low-speed juicer than that made with the high-speed blender. SOD activity also tended to be higher in the juice made with low-speed juicer. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the juice made with high-speed blender was higher than that of juice made with a low-speed juicer and was correlated with color change. In addition, the high-speed blender caused an increase juice temperature, but temperature was not changed during use of the low-speed juicer. The noise level of the low-speed juicer was low, but the high-speed blender had high noise intensity comparable to that of railway or aircraft noise. In the sensory evaluation of juice, juice made with the low-speed juicer was preferred over juice made with the high-speed blender. As a result, the overall quality of the juice produced using the low-speed juicer was superior.

Brown rot of eggplant caused by Phytophthora capsici has not been reported so far in Korea. The wide distribution of the disease was found at the central Korea including Suweon. The symptom of the disease was characterized by water sealing lesions at first, the color gradually turn brown and a little sunken area on the fruit appearred at the final stage. Dense hyphae and short sporangiophores grew out from the lesions, and they produce abundant zoosporangia on them. The disease was identified from buck-eye rot caused by Phytophthora parasitica in that the cottony growth of hyphae and rare zoosporangia formation. The pathogen was isolated and indentified on the basis of the pathogenecity and morphology comparing with P. parasitica.
