To improve the accuracy of sweetness sensor in automated sorting operations, it is necessary to clarify unevenness of the sugar content distribution within fruits. And it is expected that the technique to evaluate the content distribution in fruits contribute to the development of the near-infrared (NIR) imaging spectroscopy. Sugiyama (1999) had succeeded to visualize the distribution of the sugar content on the surface of a half-cut green fresh melon. However, this method cannot be applied to red flesh melons because it depends on information of the absorption band of chlorophyll (676 nm), which is affected by the color of the fresh. The objective of this study was to develop the universal visualization method depends on the absorption band of sugar, which can be applied to various kinds of melons and other fruits. The relationship between the sugar contents and absorption spectra of both green and red fresh melons were investigated by using a NIR spectrometer to determine the absorption band of sugar. The combination of 2$\^$nd/ derivative absorbances at 902 nm and 874 nm was highly correlated with the sugar contents. The wavelength of 902 nm is attributed to the absorption band of sugar. A cooled charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging camera which has 16 bit (65536 steps) A/D resolution was equipped with rotating band-pass filter wheel and used to capture the spectral absorption images of the flesh of a vertically half-cut red fresh melon. The advantage of the high A/D resolution in this research is that each pixel of the CCD is expected to function as a detector of the NIR spectrometer for quantitative analysis. Images at 846 nm, 874 nm, 902 nm and 930 nm were acquired using this CCD camera. Then the 2$\^$nd/ derivative absorbances at 902 nm and 874 nm at each pixel were calculated using these four images. On the other hand, parts of the same melon were extracted for capturing the images and squeezed for the measurement of sugar content. Then the calibration curve between the combination of 2$\^$nd/ derivative absorbances at 902 nm and 874 nm and sugar content was developed. The calibration method based on NIR spectroscopy techniques was applied to each pixel of the images to convert the 2$\^$nd/ derivative absorbances into the Brix sugar content. Mapping the sugar content value of each pixel with linear color scale, the distribution of the sugar content was visualized. As a result of the visualization, it was quantitatively confirmed that the Brix sugar contents are low at the near of the skin and become higher towards the seeds. This result suggests that the visualization technique by the NIR imaging spectroscopy could become a new useful method fer quality evaluation of melons.

This study was performed to examine the changes in pH, viscosity, emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, and sensory characteristics during 21 day storage of soy milks prepared by the addition of the different kinds(glucose, fructose, sucrose) and concentrations (5%, 7%, 10%) of sugars. The pH values of all sugar added samples and control were 7.19∼7.40, which belong to the range of good suspension stability. The viscosity values of all sugar added samples were higher than that of control, and those of 7% and 10％ fructose added groups and 5％ sucrose added group increased during storage. While the emulsion capacity values of all sugar added samples were significantly higher than that of control, those of 7％ sugar added groups were the highest. During storage, the emulsion capacity decreased rapidly during the first 7 days, but after then decreased gradually. The emulsion stability values of all sugar added samples were higher than that of control, especially those of all fructose added samples were the highest. The emulsion stability of all sugar added samples increased during the first 7 days, but after then decreased. Sensory evaluations, the scores of sweet taste, roasted nutty taste, color, overall quality of fructose added samples were the highest. According to the above results, the emulsion capacity of 7％ sugar added samples were the highest, and emulsion stability and all sensory characteristics of fructose added samples were the best. Therefore, it was thought to be the most desirable to prepare soy milks by the addition of 7％ fructose.

Alcohol fermentation was carried out by using the yeast (S. cerevisiae) and soybean whey as the sole carbon source. The whey was gained form waste after manufacturing of soybean curd. The whey contained approximately one gram sugar per hundred mililter and the sugar was consisted of a 65 per cent of reducing sugar. However, it showed a low protein content of 43mg per the same volume. Ammonium sulfate showed the best effect on the generation of carbon dioxide among three kinds of tested nitrogen sourogen sources, potassium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulfate. Thus, fermentation was carried out with supplement of 2.0g ammonium sulfate to one liter of soybean whey. During fermentation continued for 48 hours, the maximum amount of ethanol 1.86g was produced from one liter of soybean whey. The ethanol fermentation utilized 81 and 94% of its initial sugar and protein contents, respectively.

Even though the saps have been consumed as beverage in Korea for a very long period of time, a little research has been conducted on the chemical composition. We determined mineral, free sugar, composition amino acids and nucleotides in the sap of Gorosoe(Acer mono Max.) and Sugar Maple(Pseudo-sieboldianum Kom.) collected from Sancheong, Kurye and Hamyang. The contents of solid, crude protein and ash were 1.1~3.3%, 0.03~0.12% and 0.02~0.05% in the sap of Gorosoe and Sugar Maple, respectively. The detectable nucleotides were CMP, UMP, IMP, GMP, AMP and hypoxanthine. Free sugar that we determined in the sap of Gorosoe and Sugar Maple were sucrose, fructose and glucose, but maltose was not detected. The chief component of saccharides in the sap was sugar and ranged from 7.1 to 36.6g/L. Especially, the sucrose contents in the sap of Gorosoe and Sugar Maple from Hamyang were higher 3.7 and 2.2 times than those from the other samples. The prominent minerals in the sap were calcium and potassium. The calcium concentration was ranged from 99.0~153.3mg/L in the sap of Gorosoe and was ranged from 21.2~32.4mg/L in that of sugar maple. The sap of Gorosoe and Sugar Maple were composed of 18 and 15 kinds of amino acid respectively, and the total contents of amino acid were in the range of 0.7~29.3mg%. The major amino acids in the sap of Gorosoe were taurine, serine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid in decreasing order. Taurine contents in the sap of Gorosoe and Sugar Maple was found to be the dominant amino acid.

In this paper, setting and strength performances of concrete containing saccharic type super retarding agents are investigated under various kinds and contents of super retarding agents. According to test results, as super retarding agents contents increase, slump shows to be increased, while air contents decrease about 1∼2％. Setting time shows to be retarded considerably with increase of super retarding agents. It takes 20 days after mixing to reach final setting in case of concrete containing gluconic acid more than 0.3％. And 10 days after mixing in case of enhancing sucrose, white and brown sugar. Compressive strength of concrete containing super retarding agents is lower than that of plain concrete at early age. However, it keeps up with and exceeds the compressive strength of plain concrete at later age. White sugar md brown sugar shows positive performances in delaying setting time and strength compared to existing super retarding agents. n further investigations on durability are conducted, it is thought that application of white sugar as super retarding agent is available.
