We produced the apple vinegar with only apple fruits, no adding sugar and others through two stages fermentation(alcohol fermentation and acetic acid fermentation). At the first stage, apple wine contained 5% alcohol was produced at the 5th day. And through the second stage, acetic acid fer mentation, apple vinegars of which total acidity is 5.88% were produced. In comparision with com mercial vinegars for physicochemical quality, it was the lowest in total acidity. But contents of oxalic, tartaric, malic, citric, succinic acid in it were higher than other vinegars. Especially the content of malic acid in it was higher 5 times than other vinegars. Malic acid was known that it was abundant in apple fruits. Also the contents of free amino acids were distinctly high such as 21.97mg% in two stages fermented apple vingars. Potassium content in it was higher 4 times than other vinegars. So it was supposed that two stages fermented vinegar had much higher quality than commercial vinegars.

Quality characteristics of kochujang prepared with appleand persimmon were investigated during 14 weeks of fermentation. The water activity decreased slightly during fermentation and was higher in kochujang (I) prepared with apple than in kochujang (II) prepared with presimmon. The reducing sugar contents increased from 10.95% in kochujang (I) and 10.30% in kochujang (II) to 16.68, 19.14% after 10 weeks of fermentation, respectively. The free sugar contents in kochujang (I) were maltose 10.55, glucose 8.47 and fructose, 3.02% after 12 weeks of fermentation. The free sugar content in kochujang (II) were maltose 10.55, glucose 21.65, glucose 8.71 and fructose 2.98 after 6 weeks of fermentation. The major free sugar in kochujang (I) and (II) was maltose. The organic acids detected in kochujangs were citric, malic, lactic and oxalic acids. The contents of citric acid and malic acid were higher than other acids in both kochujangs. The contents of total free amino acids were 187.59~420.94 mg% in kochujang (I) and 154.67~316.93 mg% in kochujang (II). The contents of aspartic acid, proline and glutamic acid were high in kochujang (I) and (II).

The composition of fatty acids and organic acids in the fruits, stems, and roots of Acanthopanax were studied. The major fatty acids in the fruits, stems and roots were oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids and these composed about 86-98% of total fatty acids. However, there are great differences in content of the major fatty acids between varieties and each parts. Citric, malefic, succinic, malonic, fumaric and malic acids were identified in the fruits. Malic acid was the predaminant organic acid. There are great differences in individual content of the organic acids between varieties and each parts. Malonic and malefic acids were not detected in the stems and roots, respectively. Citric acid was most abundant organic acid parts. Total organic acid content in roots was very low compared to that of fruits and stems.

Hawthorn is widely distributed in Korea and has been used as herbal medicine for treating various cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and hypertension in Korea. In order to select superior honey tree plant from Korea, the free sugar and organic acid in hawthorn fruits, including five Korean clones and four Chinese cultivars, were evaluated. We also compared these hawthorn fruits of five clones (selected from different area of Korea) with Chinese hawthorn cultivars. Glucose, galactose, fructose and sucrose were the major sugar components of hawthorn. In this study, we observed that sucrose, glucose and fructose content. The highest sucrose content of hawthorn fruit was 188.12g/100g in Daegeumseong cultivar. The sweetness index, which plays important role of taste, was also calculated from the content of sucrose, glucose and fructose. The contribution of each carbohydrate was calculated, based on the fact that fructose is 2.30 and sucrose 1.35 times sweeter than glucose. The highest sweetness of hawthorn fruit was 579.52 in Pocheon clone. Main organic acid detected in hawthorn fruit were citric acid, malic acid and shikimic acid. The highest citric acid and malic acid content in hawthorn fruit were 157.50g/100g (Pocheon 3) and 34.12g/100g (Daegeumseong), respectively. The results of this study would be helpful for using food and functional food products, due to the beneficial effects of free sugar and organic acid for human health such as antioxidants and anticarcinogenic properties.

This study was designed to investigate the Quality of salted eggplants with mixed rice bran and salt during 7 days at $4^{\circ}\C$ for the quality improvement and arrangement of eggplants exported to Japan. It was carried out to analyze the changes of the color, organic acids, amino acids and minerals during salting. L and b values of eggplants were decreased, and a value of eggplants was increased during salting. Organic acids such as acetic, citric, lactic, malic, and succinic acids were analyzed from eggplants. The content of acetic and malic acid were decreased during salting, but citric and succinic acid contents were increased The major amino acids were alanine, glycine, valine and leucine. Total amino acid content of Chukyang was decreased but that of Shikibu was not changed during salting. The major free amino acid was $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid and contents of $\alpha$-aminoadipic acid and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid were increased during salting. Sodium and potassium were major minerals of eggplants. Sodium, potassium and magnesium were increased during salting.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in composition of the non-volatile organic acid, fatty acid and polyphenolic compounds during air-curing in burley tobacco leaves, and the effect of curing methods on the contents in air-cured leaves. The air-cured variety, (Nicotiana tabacum cv KB108) was normally grown at the Chonju tobacco experiment station in 1998. Plants designated for the each curing methods were harvested on the same date, and the ripe leaves for primed curing were harvested at the tenth leaf position from the top on the stalk. The major compounds of non-volatile organic acid and fatty acid were malic, citric, oxalic, palmitic, and linolenic acid. The concentrations of malic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, chlorogenic acid and rutin in cured leaves were remarkably decreased during curing, while citric acid was increased. The changes of these compounds showed the similar pattern during both primed and stalk curing. In connection with curing methods, the contents of malic, linoleic and linolenic acid were higher in excessive cured leaves than those in primed cured or stalk cured leaves, while the content of citric acid was lower in excessive cured leaves than that in primed cured or stalk cured leaves.

To enhance the functionalities of ginseng, an acid impregnation pre-treatment was applied during red ginseng processing. Acetic, ascorbic, citric, malic, lactic, and oxalic acid were used for the acid impregnation treatment, and total and crude saponin concentrations and ginsenoside patterns were evaluated. Total and crude saponin contents of red ginseng pre-treated by acetic, ascorbic, and citric acid were similar to those of red ginseng without pre-treatment, whereas lactic, malic, and oxalic acid pre-treatment caused a reduction of total and crude saponin in red ginseng. From the high performance liquid chromatography analysis of ginsenosides, increased $Rg_3$ density was shown in red ginseng pre-treated by acetic, ascorbic, and citric acid impregnation. In the case of lactic, malic, and oxalic acid pre-treatment, increased $Rg_1$ density was observed in red ginseng. Increased $Rg_1$ and $Rg_3$ contents due to acid impregnation during red ginseng processing may contribute to improving bioactive functionalities of red ginseng.
