Influence of onion on the quality characteristics of strawberry jam substituted with 50% fructo-oligosaccharide for sucrose was investigated. Fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams with 10, 20, 30, 40% onion in place of strawberry were prepared, and their moisture content, pH, total acidity, color, spread. sweetness, reducing sugar, residual anthocyanin, instrumental texture and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Moisture content of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams with onion was lower than that of strawberry-only control jam with an exception of 10% onion jam. As the addition rate of onion increased, pH increased, total acidity decreased. The lightness and redness decreased with addition of onion, while yellowness was increased. As the addition rate of onion increased, spreadmeter value increased. The sweetness of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased with addition of onion. More of onion added, reducing sugar content of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased. As the addition rate of onion increased, residual anthocyanin of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased. As the addition rate of onion increased. instrumental texture measured in 25% strain, hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, resilience of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased, while springiness, cohesiveness of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams with onion was higher than that of strawberry-only control jam with an exception of 10% onion jam. As the addition rate of onion increased, instrumental texture measured in 30% strain, hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess. chewiness, resilience of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams was lower than that of strawberry-only control jam with an exception of 10% onion jam, while fracturability of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased with addition of onion, springiness, cohesiveness of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams increased with addition of onion. In sensory evaluation, as the addition rate of onion increased, sensory evaluation of fructo-oligosaccharide strawberry jams decreased, obtained fairly good score to 10, 20% onion jam.

White-Jade silkworm (previously also known as Baegokjam) variety is the most popular silkworm variety that produces white cocoons. In 2021, the market share of White-Jade variety in Korea is very high, accounting for 88% of the silkworm production. Daebaekjam, Dodamsilkworm, Kumkangjam, and Kumokjam varieties, which have recently been established, make white cocoons like White-Jade. In this study, we found that 5 types of HongJams produced from 5 varieties of silkworms producing white cocoons did not show any severe difference in proximate analysis. The amounts of crude proteins, the most abundant nutrient, were between 71.05 ~ 73.38%, and those of crude lipids were 13.89 ~ 14.69% in 5 types of HongJams. In addition, there was no difference between White-Jade HongJam (WJ) and Daebaekjam HongJam in amino acid compositions. The amount of unsaturated fatty acid was significantly higher in WJ than in the other four types of HongJams, but the omega-6 fatty acids/omega-3 fatty acids ratio was higher in the four types of HongJams. Most of the minerals were higher in four types of HongJams than in WJ, and three heavy metal were not detected in all 5 types of HongJams. Phytochemicals were also most abundant in WJ, but the difference in the amounts were not severe. And pepsin digestibility was the highest for Kumokjam HongJam and the lowest for Dodam-silkworm HongJam, but the difference was not severe. The nutritional component analysis results of this study suggested that four new varieties can be used for producing HongJams, and Daebaekjam can replace White-Jade the most as the protein source.

As a trial to expand the use of oligosaccharide, tomato jams were made with various kinds and addition rate levels of oligosaccharide and their quality characteristics were evaluated by instrumental analyses and sensory evaluation. As the addition rate of oligosaccharides increased, 1. the sweetness of tomato jams decreased compared to those of control containing sugar, 2. the lightness and yellowness were increased, however, the redness was decreased, 3. the hardness and adhesiveness of tomato jams containing liquid type oligosacchairdes were lower and those of powder type were higher than control. The springiness of the samples containing oligosaccharide was lower than that of control, however, there was no significant difference in cohesiveness. In sensory evaluation, tomato jams containing oligosaccharides were generally similar or better than control. Color, viscosity, flavor and overall acceptability of the samples containing powder type oligosaccharide were higher than those of liquid type. Tomato jams containing 15% powder type oligosaccharide and 35% sugar showed the highest overall acceptability.

Melon is a fruit consumed and grown globally because of the sweet taste and pleasant aroma. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of melon jams added with various fruits such as apple, aronia, blueberry, grape, kiwi, passion fruit, and peach. We determined quality characteristics such as pH, total acidity, antioxidant activity, content of total anthocyanin, polyphenol and tannin, respectively. The 100% melon jam as the control was the highest pH and lowest total acidity, whereas mixed jams with melon and passion fruit showed opposite results. The mixed jams with melon and aronia of the total anthocyanin, the polyphenol contents, tannin, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, were markedly higher than those of the control and other samples (p<0.001), followed by the mixed jams with melon and blueberry. In the taste sensing analysis, mixed jams with melon and passion fruit revealed higher richness and lower aftertaste-bitterness and aftertaste-astringency than the commercial strawberry jam and other samples. Thus, jams mixed with various fruits, in particular, aronia, blueberry, and passion fruit were superior to the 100% melon jam in terms of physiological activity and palatability.

Traffic congestion has become a serious problem with the recent exponential increase in the number of vehicles. In urban areas, almost all traffic congestion occurs at intersections. One of the ways to solve this problem is road expansion, but it is difficult to realize in urban areas because of the high cost and long construction period. In such cases, traffic signal control is a reasonable method for reducing traffic jams. In an actual situation, the traffic flow changes randomly and its randomness makes the control of traffic signals difficult. A prediction of traffic jams is, therefore, necessary and effective for reducing traffic jams. In addition, an autonomous distributed (stand-alone) point control of each traffic light individually is better than the wide and/or line control of traffic lights from the perspective of real-time control. This paper describes a stochastic optimum control of crossroads and multi-way traffic signals. First, a stochastic model of traffic flows and traffic jams is constructed by using a Bayesian network. Secondly, the probabilistic distributions of the traffic flows are estimated by using a cellular automaton, and then the probabilistic distributions of traffic jams are predicted. Thirdly, optimum traffic signals of crossroads and multi-way intersection are searched by using a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to realize real-time traffic control. Finally, simulations are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the real-time stochastic optimum control of traffic signals.

The objective of this study was to characterize three different commercial (A, B and C) and two handmade (HM-AP, atmospheric pressure; HM-RP, reduced pressure) strawberry jams in relation to soluble solids, pH, total acid, total polyphenol, anthocyanin, color values, texture properties, and sensory evaluation. The soluble solid contents varied from 62.33 to 68.33 $^{\circ}Brix$, and the pH ranged from 3.59 to 3.70. The color L and a values were the highest in the HM-RP strawberry jam (p<0.05). The total polyphenol contents of commercial jams A, B, and C were 56.10, 97.59, and 105.85 mg GAE/100 g, respectively, and those of the HM-AP and HM-RP of handmade jams were 156.13 and 189.94 mg GAE/100 g. The anthocyanin contents of A, B, and C commercial jams were 1.51, 0.95, and 0.80 mg/100 g, respectively, and those of the HM-AP and HM-RP handmade jams were 2.64 and 9.16 mg/100 g. The phenolic contents of the HM-RP jam were significantly much higher than those of the other jams. The hardness ranged from $5.67{\times}10^3$ (HM-AP jam) to $41.91{\times}10^3$ (jam B) dyne/$cm^2$, the jelly strength ranged from 40.08 (HM-AP jam) to 180.33 (jam B) dyne, and the strength ranged from 83.84 (jam C) to 302.93 (jam B) g. The sensory evaluation of the color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, viscosity and overall acceptability of the HM-RP jam showed higher values than those of the other jams. Especially, the highest value of the color score was found in the HM-RP jam. The electon donating abilities of jams A, B, and C and of the HM-AP and HM-RP jams were 44.27, 41.70, 53.06, 69.08, and 73.21%, respectively. These results indicated that the HM-RP strawberry jam prepared with reduced pressure using micro-oxygen technology was a good source of phenolic compounds, total polyphenols and anthocyanin, and had a high level of antioxidant activity.

Strawberry jams were prepared with addition of 1.0 and 2.0% dietary fiber isolated from ascidian (Halocynthia roretzi) tunic for recycling wastes of seafood source and developing new food products. The texture of the jams examined were using a back extrusion rig. All of the rheological parameters decreased in the fiber-enhanced jams. Viscosity profiles were also decreased in the fiber-enhanced jam samples. Hunter L' and a' values increased in the fiber-enhanced jams, accordingly revealing reddish color. As a result of sensory evaluations, the result of taste tests and overall acceptability were significantly acceptable. In the list of acceptability factors, except spreadibility, jam where 1% fiber was added, high sensory scores and preferable acceptability were noted.

Influence of garlic on the quality characteristics of apple jam was investigated. Apple jams with various amounts of sugar and garlic were prepared, and their sweetness, color difference, and instrumental texture were evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. When equal amount of sugar was added, the sweetness of apple jam decreased as the garlic content increased. 2. As the garlic content increased, the lightness and yellowness tended to be high and the redness and ΔE tended to be low, resulting that the color of apple jam was improved. 3. As the sugar content increased, the hardness and adhesiveness of the jam tended to increase when garlic was added at 10%. 4. Apple jam with 60% sugar and 10% garlic was the best in adhesiveness, glossiness, and overall quality by sensory evaluation. As the addition of garlic did not cause any significant difference in flavor, cooked garlic could be applied in apple jams.

The change of pectinesterase (PE) activity and pectin substances in fig fruit were investigated and low sugar jams prepared by various methods from fig fruit were compared. Fig fruit PE, which began to show the activity at the harvest time, was not inactivated and had slight activity during frozen storage at $-25^{\circ}C$. The amount of alcohol insoluble solid (AIS) and the degree of esterification (DE) of AIS were reduced by its own PE activity. However the intrinsic PE of fig fruit was not enough to make low-methoxyl pectin below 50% of DE. Fig pulp treated by its own PE and combination of fig PE and orange PE could make low-methoxyl pectin. After PE treatments, fig pulp adjusted below pH 4.0 by addition of citric acid kept red colour. Fig Jams processed by various methods had lower soluble solid $(31{\sim}49^{\circ}Brix)$ compared with conventional fig jam. Five kinds of fig jams out of those showed higher score than others in the sensory evaluation. For preparation of the five jams, the fig pulps with or without 1% pectin were treated at $50^{\circ}C$ for 25 minutes with addition of orange PE (200 units/400 g pulp). The treated pulps were added with 0.25% citric acid, 0.7% calcium and 20% cane sugar. The mixed pulps were prepared for jams containing low sugar by hot plate or microwave or refrigeration (excepting the mixed pulp without pectin).

The effect of blueberries on the quality characteristics of strawberry jam substituted with 50% sugar, glucose syrup 10% was investigated. Strawberry jams with 5, 10 and 20% blueberries in place of strawberry were prepared and evaluated for moisture content, reducing sugar, total acidity, pH, color, total sugar (°Brix), pectin content, anthocyanin content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, texture analysis and sensory characteristics. As the amount of blueberries increased, total acidity, °Brix , reducing sugar content and anthocyanin content of jams increased, while pH decreased, moisture content has changed little. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the 80% methanol extract from jams were 75.33%, 85.75%, 91.23% and 92.73% at a concentration of 8 mg/mL. Radical scavenging activity increased with the added concentration of blueberries. The lightness decreased with addition of blueberries, but the redness and yellowness increased. The sensory scores for jams increased with the increase of blueberry content; however, strawberry jams with 10% blueberries showed the best scores.
