The functional properties of novel sugar derivative sweeteners, fructo-oligosaccharide, maltitol, sorbitol and high maltose syrup(HMS) were examined for their humactant effect, lactic acid bacterial growth, Streptococcus mutants growth and relative sweetness compared to sucrose. Sorbitol exhibited remarkably high water activity reducing capacity, whereas fructo-oligosaccharide and maltitol showed the same level as sucrose. Maltitol showed distinct anti-bacterial(bacteriocidic) effect against Stc. mutants and most of lactic acid bacteria tested except for L. plantarum. The molar basis relative sweetness of sugar derivatives in comparison with 1%(w/w) level of sucrose were 0.69 for Neosugar(fructo-oligosaccharide), 0.21 for sorbitol, 0.50 for maltitol and 0.27 for HMS.

Physical and chemical properties of glycosylsucrose were characterized as follows: 1. The moisture content of glycosylsucrose syrup (35% , w/w) was 63.6% and total sugar in solid was 35.9%. 2. Main sugar compositions of glycosylsucrose syrup were maltotetraose 54.5%, sucrose 18.0%, glycosylsucrose 15.3%, maltosylsucrose 11.3% and the content of glucose, maltose, maltotriose and fructose were very little. 3. Perceived sweetness threshold of glycosylsucrose was 0.71%, relative sweetness was 0.53, and sweetness intensity expressed as power function was S=$0.78^{\circ}$C^{1.5}$$. 4. Viscosity of glycosylsucrose was higher than that of sucrose and Japanese product at 10, 25, 35 and $65^{\circ}C$. 5. The content of water absorption of gylcosylsucrose at Aw 0.80 was 0.48 g $H_2$O/g dry weight while that of sucrose was 0.17g $H_2$O/g dryweight at Aw 0.86. 6. The stability of glycosylsucrose was decreased by acidic pH, high temperature and long heating time. 7. The glycosylsucrose showed very little browning when heated with pepton, but alkaline pH (pH8), high temperature and long heating time increased browning reaction.

Mixtures of rice and sweet persimmons to make sweet syrup, jochung, were saccharified by barley malt. Soluble solid contents, reducing sugar and free sugar contents, and sensory quality were determined in jochungs, which were prepared from various ratios (10 : 0, 7 : 3, 5 : 5, 3 : 7) of rice to sweet persimmons. Amylase activity had the highest value, 10466 Unit, after 3 hrs during saccharification process at $55^{\circ}C$. In HPLC determination of free sugars, maltose in saccharifying liquids found the highest amount followed by fructose and glucose. With increasing amounts of sweet persimmons, fructose and glucose contents increased while maltose content decreased. The soluble solid contents reduced as the sweet persimmons proportions increased. The control group without sweet persimmons showed highest value, $58^{\circ}Brix$, in soluble solid content. There appeared to be a slight decrease in reducing sugar and free sugar contents as proportion of sweet persimmons increased. Jochung prepared at high amounts of sweet persimmon had better scores in overall acceptance.

The rheological properties and food functionality of the novel sugar derivatives, fructo-oligosaccharide, high maltose syrup(HMS), maltitol and sorbitol were examined and compared to those of sucrose. All samples tested showed Newtonian fluid property at the concentration range of 10% to the original concentrated products containing $69{\sim}81%w/w$ solid. HMS showed the highest viscosity. The viscosity increased(r=0.8038) as the average molecular weight of sugar derivatives were increased. The viscosity increased exponentially as the concentration increased, and sugar alcohols had lower value of the exponent compared to HMS and fructo-oligosaccharide. The viscosity of sugar derivatives solutions decreased by the increasing temperature following the Arrhenius equation. The flow activation energies of sorbitol and HMS were higer than that of sucrose. Substitution of sucrose with fructo-oligosaccharide in apple jam processing did not change the textural characteristics, but in redbean jelly(yanggaeng) it reduced the hardness, adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness. When sucrose was 100% replaced by HMS, the texture of apple jam and redbean jelly was not changed, but by mixing sucrose and HMS 1 : 1 ratio, the hardness decreased substantially The sugar alcohols reduced the hardness, adhesiveness, springiness of apple jam and redbean jelly significantly. Addition of fructo-oligosaccharide and HMS to sucrose did not influence the solidifying rate of candy, but sorbitol, even at 10% addition, retarded the candy moulding.

Dynamic changes of free sugar and amino acid in the mixture of red bean paste sediment by corn syrup concentration and heating conditions were monitored. Glucose and fructose contents of red bean paste increased with an increasing blown color intensity. Amino acid content was affected by the heating temperature, increased with an increase in browning color intensify. Browning color intensity of each samples increased up to $95^{\circ}C$, but decreased above $95^{\circ}C$. This result was the same tend as changes of glucose and amino acid. The result of correlation coefficients among free sugar amino acid and browning color intensity show that increase in browning color intensity was not correlated directly with changes of free sugar and amino acid content. It seems that the contents of free sugar and amino acid resolved from saccharides and protein were much mote than contents nea for browning reaction.

Effects of the addition of three commercial oligosaccharide syrups into a Korean rice cake (Karedduk) on the textural characteristics and retrogradation of the rice cake were examined during the storage for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. Each syrups contained maltose (M75), isomaltose and panose (HL), or maltotetraose (G4) as major sugars. The increment (rates) in gumminess, hardness and chewiness during the storage were significantly reduced by replacing rice flour (up to 10%) with the oligosaccharides. The retardation in the textural changes by the oilgosaccharides was more significant when the rice cake was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $4^{\circ}C$. Among the three types, HL exhibited most effective in retarding the textural changes. Thermograms by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed that the oligosaccharide increased the onset temperatures and enthalpy for the starch melting, but the recrystallinity measured from the enthalpy ratio before and after the storage was significantly reduced by the presence of the oligosaccharide. Especially with 5% HL, the recrystallinity was significantly low (72.7%) compared to rice cake without HL (88.1%). Therefore, HL had great efficiency in retarding starch retrogradation as well as textural changes of the rice cake during the storage.

Chapssaltteok is a Korean dessert that consists of glutinous rice cakes filled with sweet bean paste. Emulsifiers and saccharides are used as anti-staling agents in the cakes to increase their shelf life. this is especially necessary for industrialized glutinous rice cakes, such as chapssaltteok. This study was conduvted to evaluate the suppression effects of retrogradation in chapssaltteok under various concentration of saccharides and emulsifiers (SP). Glutinous rice cake was manufactured with a multifunctional extruder, wrapped with polyethylene film, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for five days. The texture properties of the samples were assessed using a texture analyzer. The results showed that the addition of 0.5% SP, 15% sucrose, 20% low DE syrup, or 10% maltose effectively for delayed the retrogradation during the storage period.

Selection of yeast strains, optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation, sterilization methods, and additives for improving wine quality were investigated to manufacture watermelon wine. Eight yeast strains exhibited significant alcohol fermentation, among which KWS 06 was selected for watermelon wine fermentation, because watermelon wine made by this strain showed the best overall acceptability in sensory evaluation. Sucrose was determined as the best saccharide for alcohol fermentation among sucrose, corn syrup, glucose, fructose, and lactose. Optimum concentration of soluble solid and $(NH_{4})_{2}HPO_{4}$ of nitrogen source were $24^{\circ}Brix and 0.2%, respectively. Addition of raspberries and omija increased wine flavor and alcohol production, respectively, with optimum alcohol production, taste, and color achieved with addition of 20 g/L raspberries and 10 g/L omija. Best sensory quality was obtained by addition of 0.04 % watermelon flavorant to the juice.

The browning reaction of sugar derivatives, fructo-oligosaccharide, high maltose syrup(HMS), sorbitol and maltitol, and their effect on the appearance of jam and candy were investigated. The spectrophotometrie scanning of the absorbance between 230 nm and 700 nm could demonstrate the heat induced browning of the sugar derivatives. Fructo-oligosaccharide and HMS showed sharp increase in absorbance at 270-330 nm range by heating at $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr but sorbitol and maltitol did not show the increase in absorbance. When the pH was lowered red from neutral to 2.0, the absorbance of HMS and sucrose increased sharply, showing that these substances are relatively unstable in acidic heating compared to fructo-oligosaccharide. The addition of glycine enhanced the browing reaction of fructo-oligosaccharide and HMS, whereas little change was observed with sucrose, sorbitol and maltitol. These browning characterisitcs of sugar derivatives were reflected to the color development of apple jam and candy where they were used. Both fructo-oligosaccharide and HMS increased the yellowness of these products, while sugar alcohols reduced the yellowness compared to sugar.
