BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to establish a fruit-cooking method suitable for older adults with masticatory dysfunction. MATERIALS/METHODS: Five types of fruits were selected to make fruit jelly and puree: apple, sweet persimmon, mandarin, Korean melon, and watermelon. Recipes were selected based on the Korean Industrial Standard (KS) for senior-friendly foods (KS H 4897), which classifies foods into 3 levels (L1-L3) based on their hardness and viscosity. RESULTS: In South Korea, senior-friendly foods are classified into 3 stages based on their hardness. Stage 1 is for foods that are able to eat with teeth (hardness greater than 50,000 N and less than 500,000 N), Stage 2 is for foods that are able to eat with gums (hardness greater than 20,000 N and less than 50,000 N), and Stage 3 is for foods that are able to eat with the tongue (hardness less than 20,000 N). As a result of measuring the hardness by varying the shape of the fruit, it was found that nearly all fruits could be eaten fresh by chewing with the teeth (L1) but did not meet the KS for mastication using the gums (L2) or tongue (L3), so the cooking method was selected as fruit jelly and fruit puree. Only sweet persimmon, which had a hardness of 61,624-496,393 N, was not suitable for consumption in fresh fruit, unprocessed form. Based on their hardness measurements, fruit jellies (27,869 to 36,343 N) and fruit purees (315 to 1,156 N) met the L2 and L3 requirements, respectively. The viscosity results of all fruit purees met the L3 requirement. CONCLUSION: These results offer a simple cooking method to prepare texture-modified fruits suitable for safe consumption by older adults living with masticatory difficulties in general households and nursing facilities.

Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd), Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus(ACLSV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV)는 사과를 감염시키는 대표적인 바이러스로, 이러한 4종 바이러스에 복합 감염된 사과 '홍로'의 동절기 가지의 휴면아(측아)로부터 다양한 크기 (0.4 mm ~ 1.2 mm)와 발달단계 (이하 Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3라 칭함)의 경정 및 측부 분열조직을 절취하여 BA 3.0 mg/L 와 IBA 0.1 mg/L가 혼합된 배지에 배양하여 캘러스를 형성시킨 후, 감염 바이러스바이러스의 제거유무를 조사하였다. 직경 10 mm이상 증식된 캘러스 31 계통을 RT-PCR 분석으로 제거효율을 알아 본 결과, ACLSV는 100%, ASSVd와 ASPV는 93.5%의 높은 제거 효율을 보인 반면, ASGV는 25.8%로 상대적으로 제거효율이 낮았다. 4종 바이러스가 동시에 모두 제거되는 경우는 Stage 1의 휴면아의 분열조직을 배양하였을 때만 가능하였는데, 그 이유는 ASGV가 이 시기의 배양에서 주로 제거되었기 때문으로, ASGV는 다른 바이러스와는 달리 분열조직의 발달단계가 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 휴면아의 분열조직을 배양하여 바이러스를 제거한 예는 세계적으로 보고된 바가 없는 것으로서, 본 연구결과는 향 후 사과의 무병묘 생산에 매우 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Flammulina velutipes is a popular edible basidiomycete mushroom found in East Asia and is commonly known as winter mushroom. Mushroom development showing dramatic morphological changes by different environmental factors is scientifically and commercially interesting. To create a genetic database and isolate genes regulated during mushroom development, cDNA libraries were constructed from three developmental stages of mycelium, primordium, and fruit body in F. velutipes. We generated a total of 5,431 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from randomly selected clones from the three cDNA libraries. Of these, 3,332 different unique genes (unigenes) were consistent with 2,442 (73%) singlets and 890 (27%) contigs. This corresponds to a redundancy of 39%. Using a homology search in the gene ontology database, the EST unigenes were classified into the three categories of molecular function (28%), biological process (29%), and cellular component (6%). Comparative analysis found great variations in the unigene expression pattern among the three different unigene sets generated from the cDNA libraries of mycelium, primordium, and fruit body. The 19-34% of total unigenes were unique to each unigene set and only 3% were shared among all three unigene sets. The unique and common representation in F. velutipes unigenes from the three different cDNA libraries suggests great differential gene expression profiles during the different developmental stages of F. velutipes mushroom.

The position effects on the abortion of flowers, fruits, and ovules were examined in relation to the resource limitation hypothesis using a temperate legume species, Vicia cracca. Fifty plants were randomly sampled from a natural population located at the Belmont Conservation Site in Belmont, MA, USA. Due to indeterminant growth and acropetal flowering of this species, the position of flower or fruit on the plant was able to be coded by the combination of architectural levels such as plant half (lower and upper half) and inflorescence half (lower and upper half) within each plant half. Overall, only 17.3% of the flowers on an inflorescence began to develop into fruits, while overall 36.0% of the fruits initiated failed to mature. Consequently, 11.5% of the flowers successfully matured into fruits. The mean flower number per inflorescence differed significantly among plants as well as between plant halves. Although the probability of fruit initiation was higher in the lower halves of both plant and inflorescence than in the upper halves of the latter, fruit abortion rate differed significantly only between plant halves. The overall mean seed set was 33.6%, implying that about two out of six ovules in a fruit matured into seeds. The seed set was independent of both plant identity and architectural level unlike other reproductive characters examined. When the ovule developmental stage was examined on data pooled over all fruits, the proportion of ovules in varying developmental stages decreased in order of early abortion, seed maturation, late abortion, and seed predation (48.4, 34.9, 12.2, and 4.5%, respectively). A within-fruit ovule position was also used as a class variable for the analysis of position effects on ovule development. All architectural levels considered exerted singificant influence over the ovule development. In particular, ovule development was strongly affected by the within-fruit ovule position. Ovules in both extreme ends within a fruit tended to abort early, while those in the middle position were more likely to mature into seeds. The strong position effects detected from the flowering to seed maturation stage were interpreted as an indication of competitive interaction among reproductive characters which are largely constrained by plant architecture.

In this study, we aimed to develop a mixed tea prepared with roasted mulberry leaf and fruit using response surface methodology (RSM). Roasting of mulberry leaf was by 6 stages, as shown in Fig. 1; and mulberry fruit was roasted in 4 stages, as shown in Fig. 2. Subsequently, physicochemical measurements such as total polyphenol content, nitric oxide production content, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effect were obtained for each sample. Central composite design was applied to prepare samples containing varying contents of roasted mulberry leaf (RoML) and roasted mulberry fruit (RoMF); subsequently, sensory evaluation was conducted. The total polyphenol content of roasted samples (RoML and RoMF) were significantly higher than that of raw samples (RaML and RaMF), respectively. The nitric oxide (NO) production of roasted samples were significantly lower than that of control (LPS induced RAW 264.7 cell). The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effect of roasted samples was significantly higher than that of raw samples, respectively. Based on the RSM estimation for determination of optimum ratio by sensory evaluation (taste, color, and flavor) among 13 mixed samples, the optimum mixing ratio of RoML and RoMF for taste, color, and flavor were 1.64 g (RoML) and 0.88 g (RoMF), 1.35 g (RoML) and 0.92 g (RoMF), 1.65 g (RoML) 1.03 g (RoMF), respectively. Based on results of three sensory evaluations, mixing ratio comprising 1.54 g of RoML and 0.92 g of RoMF is desirable for delicious tea with functionality.

Fruit ripening represents a genetically synchronized system that involves developmental process unique to plant species, The phenomenon of ripening includes changes in color, texture, respiration rate, flavor, and aroma. Ripe fruits generally exhibit increased susceptibility to pathogen infection. However, fruits as a reproductive organ have their own protection mechanism against pathogens to maintain their integrity during seed maturation. In several nonclimacteric fruits, such as cherry, grape, and pepper, that do not have an ethylene burst during ripening, resistance against phytopathogens increases during ripening. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a causal agent of anthracnose disease in pepper plants (Capsicum annuum). We have established that C. gloeosporioides has susceptible and resistant interactions with pepper fruits during pre- and post-ripening stages, respectively. And we have interested in looking for a molecular mechanism that would explain the fungal resistance during ripening of nonclimacteric pepper fruit. In this presentation, a molecular characterization of the pepper esterase gene (PepEST) that is highly expressed in the resistant response will be demonstrated as an example of development and industrial applications of versatile-usable genes of plant.

The relationship between the contents of methyl trans-cinnamate and the ratio of DP/DS (diameter of pileus / diameter of stalk) in the fruit-body of Tricholoma matsutake during its development was investigated. The stages of development were divided as follows: stage A is less than 1, stage B is from 1 to less than 2, stage C is from 2 to less than 3, and stage D is more than 3 of the values of DP/DS. The contents of methyl trans-cinnamate in pileus and stalk of pine mushroom ranged from $77{\mu}g/g$ to $824{\mu}g/g$ and from $7.6{\mu}g/g$ to $22.4{\mu}g/g$, respectively during its development. In the part of pileus, there is no relevance of the methyl trans-cinnamate content of pine mushroom between the stage A and B, but there was significantly different among the stage of B, C and D. In the case of stalk, the relevance of the methyl trans-cinnamate content of pine mushroom between stage D and other stages showed a low difference. In addition, as pileus of pine mushroom developed the level of the aroma compound increased as well and showed higher correlation relationship ($r^2=0.877$) between the contents of methyl trans-cinnamate in the pileus and the ratio of DP/DS. From the results of this study, we can conclude that the aromatic component of pine mushroom can be deduced from the value of DP/DS, which indicates the stage of the development appearance.

본 연구에서는 복숭아 '미백도', '대구보' 및 '유명' 과실의 발육단계별로 과실의 경도, 세포벽성분 및 g1ycisidase 활성의 변화를 조사함으로써 수확후의 저장중 과실에서와 같이 발육중인 과실의 연화에서 도 $\beta$-galactosidase가 중요한 역할을 하는지 알고자 하였다. 조사시기는 5월 13일, 6월 16일, 7월 16일, 8월 5일이었으며, 수확기가 늦은 '유명'은 8월 28일에 한번 더 조사하였다. Total sugar와 비섬유성 중성당의 함량은 각 품종의 세포벽물질을 증류수, 0.05M CDTA 0.05M $Na_2$CO$_3$, 4% KOH, 2.4% KOH로 차례로 분획하여 조사하였다. 과실의 발육에 따라 경도는 세 품종 모두에서 감소하였으며, '유명' 과실의 경도는 모든 발육단계에서 '미백도'와 '대구보'보다 높았다. 발육단계에 따른 각 분획별 total sugar의 함량 변화는 품종간에 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 세 품종의 세포벽 물질과 각 분획중의 주요 중성당은 arabinose와 galactose였다. '미백도'와 '대구보'의 수확일인 8월 5일의 증류수 가용성 분획의 rhamnose의 mol % 변화는 품종별 경도 변화와 상관관계가 있었다. 가용성 $\beta$-galactosidase의 활성은 세 품종 모두에서 파실 발육초기에는 높았으나 초기 이후에는 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 세포벽결합형 $\beta$-galactosidase는 세 품종 모두에서 발육초기에 높았던 활성이 수확기가지 계속적으로 감소하였다. 다른 glycosidase의 활성들도 품종간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지는 않았다.
