Physicochemical properties and microbiological quality chanties were investigated on mixed fruit and vegetable juices (apple, carrot and cucumber) stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ without pasteurization(NT), with light piasteurization (LP; 66$^{\circ}C$, 10 sec) and with full pasteurization(FP; 90$^{\circ}C$, 60 sec). Effects of ultrafiltration (UF) on the changes during storage were also examined. pH, viscosity, a-value and b-value remained relatively constant and all samples revealed Newtonian characterisitics. Total acidity and turbidity tended to increase slightly; however, total vitamin C content and L-value slowly decreased during storage up to about 2 months. During the first 4 weeks storage, soluble solids content slowly increased and then decreased. Mold and Yeast and Bacteria were not detected in LP, UP and UF treated samples during storage studied; however, E. coli were detected after 24 days storage. No distinctive storage effects were found among samples prepared; however, ultrafiltration had a considerable effect on the color and soluble solids content of mixed fruit and vegetable juice.

In order to improve qualities of kochujang, various fruit juices such as apple, orange, pineapple and grape were added to the raw material of kochujang instead of the part of water. It was apparent in the kochujang with pineapple juice that organic acids originated from fruit juices increased titrable acidity and decreased pH. Free sugars and organic acids in the kochujang that was fermented during three months were degraded or might be used by microorganism after ten months of fermentation. Kochujang with grape juice showed relatively dark color, which had a good agreement with the changes of Hunter a-value. Sensory evaluation test about tastes, flavor and color showed that the kochujang with pineapple juice was preferred to others.

The objectives of this study were to compare the physicochemical properties, functional components and antioxidant activities of noni fruit juices from six different regions of cultivation: Samoa, Indonesia, China (Hainan), Hawaii, Thailand and Tahiti. The pH values of noni fruit juices ranged from 3.63 to 3.83, and the soluble contents were $5.97-6.97^{\circ}Brix$. In regard to color, the L, a and b values of noni juices were in the ranges of 33.41-46.51, 3.44-7.98, and 2.42-22.20, respectively. The polyphenol content of noni fruit juice from Indonesia was significantly higher than other samples. The Thailand noni fruit juice contained the highest amounts of scopoletin (8.62 mg/100 mL) and rutin (2.03 mg/100 mL). The noni fruit juice from Indonesia showed the higher antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity) than others. In conclusion, These results suggest that noni fruit juice may be a good source of functional food with antioxidant activity and can serve as the basis data for the use of noni fruit in the food industry.

The physical properties which must be considered as engineering factors affecting on the evaporation process of fruit juices are boiling point rise, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat. These factors are varied with food ingredients, soluble solids, pressure and temperature. In the reserch, it has been worked to obtain the data and to develop prediction model for the boiling point rise as a faction of soluble solid and pressure by the regression of SPSS package program. For the prediction model of density, it was developed as a fuction of soluble solid content on apple and pear juices. For the viscosity model, it was establised by the factors of temperature and content of soluble solid through the optimization program.

Physicochemical characteristics and analysis of functional constituents of mulberry (Morus alba L.) fruit juices were investigated according to four different mulberry cultivars, including iksuppong, daeseongppong, cheongilppong and kwasangppong. Among the four mulberry cultivars examined, the small-sized cheongilppong had higher soluble solid content and lower titratable acidity, whereas the big-sized daeseongppong had higher titratable acidity and lower soluble solid content than other mulberry cultivars. Cheongilppong had higher contents of fructose and glucose, while daeseongppong had higher contents of citric and malic acids than the other mulberry cultivars. Kwasangppong had higher contents of two anthocyanins, cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, while cheongilppong had lower contents of two anthocyanins than the other mulberry cultivars. Daeseongppong had higher contents of resveratrols, flavonoids and moracin, whereas cheongilppong had higher levels of protocatechuic, chlorogenic and caffeic acids than the other mulberry fruits. Of the four mulberry cultivars, daeseongppong and cheongilppong had higher contents of GABA and DNJ, respectively, than the other mulberry cultivars. These results provide useful information to food technologists for the development and standardization of high quality mulberry juices as well as their processed foods.

In the course of a study in relation to the production of taste, and functional enhancements in root crop chips, which were prepared by soaking dried yam slices in fruit juices, we investigated the physiological characteristics and biological activities of 8 different commercially available juices including; apple, omija (fruit of Maximowiczia typica), grape, wild grape, orange, tomato, red ginseng and black garlic juice. The average water contents, pH, brix and acidity of the juices used were $85.59{\pm}5.80%$, $3.90{\pm}0.64$, $12.19{\pm}4.70%$, and $0.49{\pm}0.19%$, respectively. The polyphenol content of black garlic and grape juice were 1.50 and 1.21 mg/ml, respectively, and those were higher than the average content (0.57 mg/mL) of the juices. Evaluation of anticoagulation activity showed that only omija juice has a strong thrombin inhibition, which is comparable to that of aspirin (1.5 mg/mL). Omija, grape and orange juice all exhibited antibacterial activity, but no antifungal activity. The 8 different juices, and in particular grape and black garlic juice, showed strong antioxidant activity in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity assays, with wild grape juice demonstrating potent nitrite scavenging activity. These results suggest that omija, grape and black garlic juice can be used as soaking solutions to produce taste, and other functional enhancements, for root crop chips.

To utilize the by-products from whelk processing, whelk internal organ jeotgal was manufactured by adding pineapple and kiwifruit juices containing bromelain and actinidin, respectively. The protease activities of pineapple and kiwifruit juices were 52 and 248 unit/mL, respectively. 1 kg ground whelk internal organ was immersed to 12.5% salt concentration and then the 20, 50, or 100 mL of fruit juice were added in it. the quality of products fermented for up to 70 day at 1$0^{\circ}C$ was observed. Jeotgal wit pineapple juice showed lower pH and higher amino nitrogen content than with kiwifruit juice on 70 day of fermentation. the total nitrogen contents was the highest on 30 day of fermentation and stable thereafter. Although total numbers of microorganism were increased as fermentation progressed, there were no correlations among the juices or its adding amounts. It was thought that interactions between kinds of natural microflora and the proteases from fruit juices, and other constituents in jeotgal affected total nitrogen content of jeotgal and the growth rate of natural microorganisms. Of the all jeotgals in this study, no coliform was found It is suggested that the preparation of jeotgal with pineapple or kiwifruit juice is effective aspect of safety and quality.

Xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of gout and many other diseases related to superoxide anion metabolism. In this study, four commercial fruit juices and three vinegars were evaluated for their inhibitory activity of XO (XOI), as well as contents of organic acids by HPLC with UV detection. Five different organic acids were detected in commercial samples: acetic acid and malic acid were the most prominent in vinegars and fruit juices, respectively. The vinegars showed high XOI activity (33.8~64.9%) related to the great concentration of acetic acid ($R^2=0.7192$). The presence of acetic acid in vinegar could be responsible for its XOI effect.

The purpore of this study was to elucidate the nutritional significance of the fruit-vegetable mixed juice during storage and distribution by examining the chemical composition of the mixed Juice for storage. The fruit-vegetable mixed Juices were sueriliged at 95$^{\circ}C$ for 30, 70, 100 seconds and the results of the changes in vitamin C contents, colors, total carotenoid contents, total aerobic counts and sensory evaluation of the mixed Juice were as follows: Vitamin C contents were drastically decreased at 7 day's storage and were not significantly different between the mixed Juices at p< 0.05 level after 7 day's storage. The longer the sterilization time and storage period of the mixed Juice was the higher changes in color was. The color changes in the sterilized samples were higher in order of 100, 70 and 30 seconds. Total carotenoid contents were slightly decreased according to storage period but were not affected by sterilization time. Total aerobic counts were 1.1 $\times$ 101 cfu/ml before sterilization, but it was negative after sterilization at 95t regardless of sterilization time. Sensory qualities such as color, flavor, taste and total acceptability of the mixed juice tended to be decreased by the Increased storage period and sterilization time. Especially, the sterilized sample for 100 seconds showed lots of changes In color.

Clarified fruit and vegetable juices (apple, carrot and tangerine) were produced using ultrafiltration and their color change due to the mixing ratio were evaluated. clarification was carried out by passing he supernatant of extracted juice through a filter and also by using a membrane of molecular weight cut-off 10,000 Daltons to obtain the juice ultrafiltrates. The mixing ratio between apple and carrot juices was kept constant at 1:1 while increasing the amount of tangerine juice according to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% an stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ prior to the color measurement. Hue angle ({TEX}$h_{ab}${/TEX}) and {TEX}$L^{*}${/TEX}-value increased as the tangerine mixing ratio increased. The color difference indicated by ΔE-value also increased as the amount of tangerine increased indicating that the color of the mixed juice became pale and the changes were slight but distinctive. On the other hand, chroma ({TEX}$C^{*}${/TEX}), {TEX}$La{*}${/TEX}- and {TEX}$b^{*}${/TEX}-values decreased as the tangerine mixing ratio increased indicating that the color of the mixed juice became slightly more grayish and the samples were becoming les yellow. A simple mathematical model to predict each color characteristic is proposed.
