Rheological properties of the aqueous solution of various polysaccarides and their effects as a stabilizer in fruit(peach) syrup and yogurt were investigated. Four kinds of modified starch(Sun Kolguard, Sun Registar, Mira Cleer 340 and Maps 449), three types of carrageenan(kappa, iota and lambda types) and pectin were used in this study. The 5% aqueous solution of each modified starch was gelatinized at $66^{\circ}C$. After gelatinization, Sun Kolguard showed the highest viscosity among those samples. The synergistic effect of carrageenan on 5% aqueous solution of Sun Kolguard was studied by changing the mixing ratio, and the result showed that the ratio 90:10(Sun Kolguard:carageenan) had the maximum synergistic effect and the effect of iota type carrageenan was higher than that of other types. The effect of Sun Kolguard as a stabilizer in fruit syrup were superior to other modified starches studied. The gelatinization temperature of the addition of iota carrageenan in starch added fruit syrup changed from $66^{\circ}C$ of 5% aqueous solution to $82^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the viscosity after cooling of syrup which made iota carrageenan and starch added fruit syrup was more increased than simple starch added fruit syrup. The mixture of 90% Sun Kolguard and 10% iota carrageenan were estimated as the most appropriate stabilizer for manufacturing the fruit syrup and yogurt adding fruit syrup.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the variability of mulberry fruit products with the trend of increasing number of Mulberry farms and their fields. For this study, a survey on the number of usages of similar manufactured fruit products was conducted, and its results showed that 41.7% of industrial workers drink fruit products 3-6 times per week. The findings from the survey implies that industrial workers preferred the products in the order of syrup, frozen furee and jam while culinary students extracts, jam and syrup. Based on these research results, the primary product form of mulberry fruit for development would be syrup, sugar-free extracts and jam in order. As for bakery products, developing refrigeration products, bread and cake using mulberry fruit is highly required. When mulberry fruit products were used in food items, industrial workers and culinary students preferred vegetable and meat dishes, which means the necessity of developing dressings and sauces using mulberry fruit.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality-based characteristics of Prunus mume fruit syrup, which is manufactured with various sugared sweeteners for suggestion of suitable alternative sweetener. Sweetener such as sucrose (MHP1), crystalline fructose (MHP2) and liquid fructo-oligosaccharide (MHP3) are used to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup. The sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 showed 53, 54 and $36^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The total organic acid content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 2.22, 3.07 and 3.71%. The total free sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 54.39, 47.52% and 31.62%, respectively. The appearance of MHP1 and MHP2 remained unchanged for the entire period but MHP3 had molded since the first week. This was as a result of the low total free sugar content in MHP3 sugared with liquid fructo-oligosaccharide compared to MHP1 and MHP2 sugared with solid sucrose and fructose. The sensory characteristics of MHP2 manufactured with crystalline fructose indicated an above average quality, indicating that it is difficult to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup using liquid sugar. It is suggested that crystalline fructose characterized solid form and lower glycemic index than sucrose be useful to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup as alternative sweetener.

In this research, mulberry fruit was processed into mulberry fruit syrup (MFS) using sugar and then used as stabilizer for anthocyanine pigment in yanggeng. MFS was added to the yanggeng in order to make mixture ratio of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The resulting sensory and physicochemical aspects, as compared between the various MFS ratio were investigated. The yanggeng L and b values decreased with increasing ratio of MFS. With addition of MFS the sensory evaluation results for, taste, color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability improved. The yanggeng prepared using MFS found to possess more effective antioxidants behavior as observed by in vitro evaluating 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging and superoxide radical activities. The $IC_{50}$ of the antioxidant was found to be proportional to the mulberry fruit syrup concentration in the yanggeng.

Yuzu (Citrus junos) undergoes traditional processing to create preserved yuzu with a sugar content of 50%. This study aimed to produce low-sugar yuzu syrup using artificial or natural sweeteners instead of sugar. Among artificial sweeteners, maltitol showed minimal browning and lack of deposition at high temperatures. The addition of xanthan gum (0.2%) and carboxymethyl cellulose (0.2%) resolved the issue of layer separation and viscosity decrease of yuzu syrup. Alternatively, grain syrup, a natural sweetener, improved viscosity and homogeneity without the additives. Yuzu syrups were developed using yuzu juice and preserved yuzu, with maltitol (20~40%) or grain syrup (50~70%) as the sweetener. Yuzu syrups containing 35% maltitol (M35) or 55% grain syrup (G55) had less than 5% and 10% free sugar, respectively. These syrups exhibited taste patterns similar to commercial yuzu syrup in analysis using an electronic tongue. Furthermore, M35 and G55 contained yuzu flavonoids at concentrations of 19.82 mg/g and 24.09 mg/g, respectively. Antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging) of M35 and G55 was equivalent to 10.55, 17.59 mg/100 g of Vitamin C and 97.39, 33.92 mg/100 g of Vitamin C, respectively. Consequently, M35 and G55 offer promising alternatives to preserved yuzu, providing low-sugar yuzu syrups enriched with functional ingredients.

Background: In northern Thailand, the longan flower is the principal nectar source for honey production. Microorganisms play a critical function in the agricultural ecology. The morphological characteristics of fungal species found in longan pollen were studied. Aspergillus spp. were found to be invertase-producing strains and were employed in the longan syrup production process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of invertase-added longan syrup on the adult honey bee population numbers that were fed by this syrup for 16 weeks. Results: Different fungal species were found in longan pollen samples. Aspergillus was the main genus, with three predominant sections: Nigri, Flavi, and Terrei. Other isolated species were Trichoderma spp., Rhizopus spp., Neurospora spp., Chaetomium spp., Fusarium spp. and Penicillium spp. However, Aspergillus spp. is the only fungal species that produces the enzyme invertase. The invertase-producing strains belonging to the Aspergillus section Nigri were found to be A. niger LP5 with an optimum activity at pH 6.0 and 60℃. When A. niger LP5 invertase was used for longan syrup processing, the highest levels of glucose (3.45%) and fructose (2.08%) were found in invertase added longan syrup (C), while fresh (A) and boiled longan syrup (B) had lower contents of both sugars. The sucrose content was detected in (A) at 4.25%, while (B) and (C) were at 4.02% and 3.08%, respectively. An appropriate amount of sugar to feed and maintain the honey bee population was considered. The data showed no statistically significant differences between the two selected forms of longan syrup compared to the sugar syrup examined by the adult honey bee population. Conclusions: The main species of isolated fungi from longan pollen were Aspergillus spp. The discovery of an invertase-producing strain of A. niger LP5 has enabled its application for enzyme utilization in the invert sugar preparation process. The adult worker bee populations fed by longan syrup from both boiled and invertase-added sources showed an increasing trend. Artificial syrup made from longan fruit to feed honey bees when natural food sources are limited can be applied.

This study is performed to investigate the quality characteristics of sulgidduk added with cheonnyuncho fruit powder. Sulgidduk was prepared with freeze-dried cheonnyuncho, rice flour, sugar syrup and salt. The sulgidduk was made with various amounts (0, 3, 6, 9, 12%) of added cheonnyuncho fruit powder. The proximate composition, pH, Hunter's color value, texture profile analysis, sensory characteristics and SEM of cheonnyuncho sulgidduk were being examined. The addition of cheonnyuncho fruit powder has a tendency to decrease the moisture contents of sulgidduk while the crude ash, crude lipid and crude protein increased. The pH of sulgidduk decreased when the amounts of cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased. As the amount of cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased, the lightness (L) decreased, while the redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased. In texture profile analysis, the hardness decreased with increasing cheonnyuncho fruit powder contents, whereas cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness increased. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the sulgidduk with 3%, 6% of cheonnyuncho fruit powder got the highest scores on the color, taste, springiness and acceptability. The air cells of sulgidduk observed by SEM were big and uniform with the amount of cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased. In conclusion, these results show that the quality and preference increased when 3%, 6% of cheonnyuncho fruit powder was added to the sulgidduk.

The possibility of developing new kinds of lactic acid beverage from a malt syrup was studied. The optimum sugar concentration of malt syrup for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria was $10^{\circ}Bx$. The acidity of the fermented malt syrup was improved by the supplement of yeast extract(0.5%) or sodium citrate(0.08%). Though the activity of Lactobacillus lactis in malt syrup was superior to other strains, sensory test indicated that the mixed culture of Lactobacillus lactis and Streptococcus diacetilactis was better because of masking malt flavour. The changes in acidity and viable cells of malt syrup during the lactic fermentation were not so good as skim milk medium, but malt syrup medium containing milk(50 : 50) was nearly similar to skim milk medium. In the sensory scores among samples, no significant differences(P<0.05) were noted between fermented milk and fermented malt syrup containing milk, but fermented malt syrup showed a poor quality. However fermented malt syrup was not inferior to marketing lactic fermented fruit juices with regards to the lactic acid fermented beverage type.

This study shows the quality changes of Sulgidduk added Cheonnyuncho fruit powder during storage. Sulgidduk was prepared with freeze-dried Cheonnyuncho, rice flour, sugar syrup and salt. The Sulgidduk, which was made with various amounts (0,3,6,9,12%) of added Cheonnyuncho, was examined by the quality of duration during storage. The pH of Cheonnyuncho Sulgidduk decreased as the amounts of Cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased, and also showed a significant decrease as the storage increased. As the amounts of Cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased, lightness (L) decreased while redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased. During the storage period, the lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were increased, but redness (a) was decreased. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness and springiness were decreased with increasing Cheonnyuncho fruit powder, whereas cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness were increased. However, the tendency of the changes of characteristics during storage was opposite except for springiness. In conclusion, it is suitable to extend the storage period of Sulgidduk added Cheonnyuncho fruit powder.

Oriental melon has been increased in production amount, but its processed food was not made in spite of the fact that shelf-life of the fresh fruit is short. This study was carried out to develop a dried product with no use sulfur treatment. Fresh melons were peeled, cut into 6 pieces, and soaked to the following pretreatments soaking in sugar syrup(SS), sodium chloride(SC), ascorbic acid(AA) and sodium polyphosphate(SP). After preatreatments the melon pieces were dried by hot air drying at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 9 and 12 hours, and the dried melons were air blown at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 day. The dried samples were evaluated for moisture content, texture, rotor, and sensory quality. The moisture content of dried melons soaked in SS and SC were lower than those that were soaked in AA and SP after hot air drying. The melons dried for 12 hours were high in hardness, gumminess, chewness and adhesiveness and excellent in sensory evaluation compared to 9 hours. The "L" value of SS was higher and the "a" value was lower in Hunter color. And SS treatment inhibited browning of the dried melon and improved sensory characteristics in color, flavor, texture and taste. Sucrose concentration had no significant effect on color, hardness and sensory score in banal product. The combination of SS with SP represented a highly effective antibrowning treatment for the dried melon and the product was kept in good color for 3 months at room temperature.at room temperature.
