This study was performed to investigate softening methods of raw sea tangle for development of sea tangle processing products and intermediate materials. In examination of various softening agents, it was revealed that 0.3％ sodium triphosphate was best effective on softening with heat treatment. Softerness and spreadability of sea tangle treated with sodium triphosphate and heat treatment were indicated to be better than the others. In blanching studies, microwave was extremely effective on softening and the effect was as follows: microwave>steaming>boiling water in softening order. In the case of adding 0.3％ sodium triphosphate in blanching treatment, there was synergy effectiveness on softening. The color change of treated sea tangle was significantly different at p<0.05 depending on blanching method and addition amount of the agent.

Physically modified rices were prepared by heat/moisture-treatment and its application for sikhe preparation was examined. The modified rice starch showed decreases in swelling, viscosity and enthalpies of gelatinization. But gelatinization temperature was increased by the treatment. The rate of saccharification for sikhe with the heat/moisture-treated rice autoclaved at 15 psi, $121^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr was twice higher than the untreated rice. Brix in sikhe of the untreated rice saccharified for 2 hrs was 8.2, whereas sikhe made with rice autoclaved for 1 hr was 8.7 only after 1 hour of saccharification. However. there was no difference in sugar composition analyzed by HPLC between both of them.

The cabbage extract of the research does not show cytotoxicity, and thus can be used safely. In an experiment performed on an animal model with liver injury induced by a drug (APAP), it could be seen that the cabbage extract exhibited the effects of protecting liver and improving liver function by effectively reducing AST and ALT which are liver injury markers, indicating that the cabbage extract is effective as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver disease. In particular, the cabbage extract was effective in treating inflammation of the liver by reducing the expression of the inflammatory mediators iNOS and COX-2 and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which are involved in acute inflammatory reactions accompanying liver injury. In the research, an extract of cabbage heat-treated at a temperature of 100 to 150℃ had a better liver function-improving effect or anti-inflammatory effect than an extract of raw cabbage.

Different processing methods, including steeping, boiling, roasting, and pressure roasting were used to deactivate anti-nutritional factors and remove off-flavor present in legumes. The physical and textural characteristic of cookie made with the treated flours were examined. The lightness of roasted cowpea flour was higher than that of the other treated legume flours, whereas that of pressure-roasted mungbean flour was the lowest. The boiled and pressure-roasted legume flours exhibited substantially lower pasting viscosity since the starches in these flours were considerably gelatinized during the heat treatment. Steeped mungbean flour had a significantly higher final viscosity than the other treated legume flours. Cookies containing mungbean flour had a higher protein content but lower lipid content than those containing cowpea flour. Cookies made with cowpea flour had a greater hardness than those made with mungbean flour. Cookies containing roasted flour had relatively better color properties than did those containing flours that were treated using other methods.

The content of general components such as moisture, crude ash, protein and crude fat were not different among the samples, but the content of crude protein in the fresh garlic was higher (in fresh garlic) than that of heat-treated garlic. Eighteen amino acids were analysed from the fresh garlic. The content of arginine was the highest in the fresh garlic. The amount of free amino acids was less than that of total amino acids, but their compositions were similar. Among minerals, the content of K was much higher than those of Mg, Ca and Na. The volatile compounds from the garlic extracts were identified by GC/MS. The composition of diallyl disulfides was very high among the volatile compounds, which were decreased in heat-treated ones.

Acetic acid solution containing calcium (AC) was added to kimchi seasonings by 10% and 205, and heat treatment at 70$\^{C}$ for 15 min was also tried, respectively. Kimchi with treated seasonings was investigated for the quality during fermentation at 10$\^{C}$. Heat treatment with 20% AC showed a retarded decrease pH than others on 10 days, but there was no great difference after 14 days. Higher titratable acidity was revealed in kimchi with AC during the fermentation. Total microbial lead and lactic acid bacterial count were generally lower in kimchi with AC. Reducing sugar content was maximum for all samples on 5 days, and then decreased thereafter. Redness of control kimchi was steadily increased during fermentation, but was lower than those of other treatments.

In research. which Korean pickled cucumber was treated wish various methods, including blanching. brining in hot solution, and treating with trehalose. I examined the changes of properties of material. The Korean pickled cucumber were fermented 4∼5$^{\circ}C$ for 42 days in 1% salt solution. The physiochemical properties were pH, total acidity, total cell count, lactic acid bacteria and texture properties were also evaluated. The result showed that the effect of blanching and soaking cucumber in 100$^{\circ}C$ hot salt solution significantly reduced the softening rate of texture while a rather rapid fermentation was found for those preserved with salt. The effect of trehalose treatment inhenced fermentation but it was significantly reduced softening rate of texture. The texture evaluation of Korean pickled cucumber was found that heat treatment with blanching after soaked in hot solution and trehalose treatment had a positive effect for reduction of softening of cucumber tissue.

The growth retardation of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by heat or acid treated leek (Allium tuberosum) extract was observed. Antimicrobial activity of the leek was the most effective when fresh leek extract was used, but it was stable after heat treatment at 68$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min or 98$^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. It was also relatively stable after incubated at pH 2.0 for 3 hrs. The antimicrobial activity in leek was not detected after dialysis with molecular weight cutoff of 12,000. Therefore it seems to be small molecule with molecular weight lower than 12,000.

Freezing is one of the main processes to extend the shelf life of foods. Before freezing, a thermal treatment is normally required to control the food quality. In this study, shiitake mushrooms were heated with boiling water and with superheated steam. After the thermal treatments, the samples were continuously frozen by an individual quick freezing (IQF) process, and put them into air-containing or vacuum packaging. Samples were stored at -12, -18 and $-24^{\circ}C$ for 24 weeks, and their physicochemical properties were determined. The lightness of the samples treated with boiling water and superheated steam was decreased by 12 and 15%, respectively, than that of the control. The hardness of all the samples rapidly increased after heat treatment. The contents of organic acids in the superheated steam treated samples were higher than those in the boiling water treated samples. Therefore, superheated steam treatment of samples may be a candidate thermal treatment to preserve frozen shiitake mushrooms.

In order to preserve the freshness of vegetables and to reduce the rate of decay, grapefruit seed extract (GFSE), a natural microorganism growth inhibiting agent, was applied during the preservation process of heat treated carrot and spinach. To investigate synergic effect of heat and GFSE treatment, carrots and spinaches were treated with or without 10 ppm of GFSE at $70^{\circ}C$. Surface color, texture and microbial counts of the samples were measured during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. GFSE showed an effective inhibitory activity against aerobic bacteria and yeast which might be involved in the decay of vegetables. Heat treatment at 2 min at $70^{\circ}C$ could also well preserve the color and texture of the vegetables. From the results, optimal concentrations of GFSE were 10 ppm and 50 ppm with heat treatment of 2 min $70^{\circ}C$ for the growth inhibitory effect to aerobic bacteria and yeast and preservation of color and texture.
