The purpose of this study was to propose the optimal blending ratio of honey, dextrose syrup and salt with regard to the amount of soybean powder for the manufacture of soybean Dasik. For the establishment of addition amount of honey, dextrose syrup and salt, the sensory characteristics were compared in relation to the physiochemical characteristics and color values. The results were summarized as follows: Soybean Dasik contained 16.77 % protein. As the results of sensory evaluation in according to color values, taste and moistness, the optimal blending ratio of honey and dextrose syrup was 80~90%, and that of salt 0.06% in proportion to the total weight of soybean powder. As the test results of mechanical characteristics, hardness of soybean Dasik decreased as the increasing of the addition amount of honey and dextrose syrup. Cohesiveness, gumminess, brittleness and springiness did not show any significant differences statistically. Lightness(L) decreased as the increasing of addition amount of honey and dextrose syrup. Redness(a) was high at the 90% addition level, but yellowness(b) not significantly different at the 70, 80 and 90% level of honey and dextrose syrup to the total weight of soybean powder. Therefore, the optimal blending ratio of soybean Dasik was proposed at the levels of 45% honey, 45% dextrose syrup and 0.06% salt to the total weight of soybean powder.

The purpose of this study was to examine the physiochemical characteristics of hot water extract of Caragana sinica roots and verified its protective effect on MIA-induced osteoarthritis in rats. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoid used in this experiment were 0.40 mg/g and 0.22 mg/g respectively. We found that the weight of all experiment groups which ingested Caragana sinica extract for three weeks evenly increased in rats with MIA-induced osteoarthritis without toxicity in the liver or kidney. In the histopathological test through the Mankin score, the extent of damage of knee joint tissue in the experiment groups to which Caragana sinica extract was administered in 5 mL/kg or 10 mL/kg was significantly lower than that of the negative control groups statistically(p<0.05). As for the grade of osteoarthritis, the extent of tissue damage of the experiment groups to which Caragana sinica extract was administered in 5 mL/kg or 10 mL/kg was lower than that of the negative control groups as well.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the physical and sensory properties of seasoned powders utilizing tomato. Methods: Tests of salted tomato powder were performed for the physiochemical properties (moisture content, pH value, titratable acidity, color value, salinity content, and solubility content), sensory characteristics and sensory preference. Results: Moisture content of salted tomato powder containing fully ripened tomato (RT) was higher than that of salted tomato powder containing cherry tomato (CT), with the exception of CT 10%. The pH values of RT was relatively high and increased salt addition increased the pH as well. The titratable acidity was opposite the result of pH measurement. The color values of RT was higher than that of CT for the L, a, and b values. The salt content of RT was higher than that of CT. RT 10% showed the highest dissolution followed by CT 10%. In addition, the sensory preference for CT 10% was the highest, with the best scores for appearance and taste. Conclusion: It was concluded that 10% salt addition is the most suitable sensually for the manufacture of salted tomato powder.

Jerusalem artichoke is often stored poorly after harvesting due to its delicate skin. For this reason, Jerusalem artichoke is mainly distributed in the market as a dried material. In order to improve utilization of dried Jerusalem artichoke, we made Jangachi and analyzed physiochemical characteristics with raw Jerusalem artichoke Jangachi during storage. Raw Jerusalem artichoke was sliced into 7 and 10 mm slices and dried in hot air. After aging, we analyzed rehydration capacity, pH, hardness, salinity, sugar content, and fructan content of both. Dried Jerusalem artichoke sliced into 10 mm slices took over twice as long (420 min) to be rehydrated over 90% than 7 mm sliced (200 min) Jerusalem artichoke. In the case of raw Jerusalem artichoke, hardness showed a tendency to decline. Relatively, hardness of dried Jerusalem artichoke was measured consistently. After 4 weeks, salinity and sugar content were 3.63% and $41.23^{\circ}Brix$ in raw Jerusalem artichoke Jangachi, 3.47% and $37.05^{\circ}Brix$ in 7 mm dried Jerusalem artichoke, and 3.77% and $39.15^{\circ}Brix$ in 10 mm dried sample, respectively. As a result of this study, the possibility of dried Jerusalem artichoke as a pickle was confirmed.

In this study, frozen mulberries were dried with the methods of freeze-drying and hot-air drying and powdered to make healthy functional bagels by adding 0% (control), 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% of mulberry powder. After measuring the general ingredients, physiochemical property, total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging of frozen mulberries, the physiochemical property test and sensory test of manufactured bagels were carried out. The pH of the bagels appeared to be higher in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder than in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Luminosity (value L) and yellowness index (value b) appeared to be higher in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder than in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Redness index (value a) appeared to be higher when freeze-dried mulberry powder was added than when hot-air dried mulberry powder was added. Hardness showed a significant difference in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder while the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder showed the opposite result. Elasticity did not have any significant difference in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder while it showed a significant difference in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Cohesiveness did not show any significant difference and gumminess showed the tendency of decrease as the added quantity of freeze-dried mulberry powder and hot-air dried mulberry powder increased. The preference of the group with the addition of 5% freeze-dried mulberry powder and the group with the addition of 3% hot-air dried mulberry powder appeared to be the highest.

This study was conducted to investigate the physiochemical characteristics of Cheongju prepared using different types of rice (rice and glutinous rice) according to addition rate of Nuruk during low temperature fermentation. The characteristics of Cheongju prepared using three different temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $18^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) were compared. After fermentation for 30-50 days, the pH of mash prepared at lower temperature was lower, as was that of mash made from rice relative to that prepared using glutinous rice. The total acidity was formed at lower temperature and generated in mashing prepared by glutinous rice. The organic acid content of mash made from rice at $18^{\circ}C$ was lowest, while that of mash prepared from glutinous rice was lowest at $10^{\circ}C$. The fermentation speed was lowest at $10^{\circ}C$; however, low temperature fermentation resulted in the highest alcohol content. The mash prepared from glutinous rice showed faster fermentation than that made from rice. In addition, the pH was lower when lower levels of Nuruk were added and higher in mash made from glutinous rice than that prepared from rice. The lower addition rate of Nuruk also showed a lower sugar content and final alcohol content. The levels of citric acid and lactic acid were higher, while those of succinic acid, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate were lower when lower levels of Nuruk were added. The mash prepared from glutinous rice showed a higher alcohol content than that made from rice.

Genistein, one of the isoflavones in doenjang, is generally known to prevent various cancers, osteoporosis, climacterium, and menopause symptoms, and has better bioavailability and healthful physiological effects than its glucoside, genistin. In both traditional and commercial doenjangs, genistein content ranged from 370 to 1,510 mg/kg, however, significant amounts of genistin also existed at the level of 190 to 350 mg/kg. After treating with corn $\beta$-glucosidase, over 84% of genistin in doenjang was converted to genistein. However, physiochemical characteristics such as pH, viscosity, 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, and color were not changed significantly after corn $\beta$-glucosidase treatments. Therefore, this study shows that the improved doenjang with the increased genistein content can be produced using corn $\beta$-glucosidase.

We previously reported the morphological, physiochemical characteristics of Alismae Rhizoma. In this study, we examined the antimicrobial and antifungal activities of 85% ethanol and water extracts of Alismae Rhizoma using disc method. Ethanol extracts of Korean Alismae Rhizoma showed antimicrobial activity on B. subtilis and S. aureus on the concentration dependent manner, whereas, Chinese Alismae Rhizoma revealed antimicrobioal activity on E. coli and N. gonorrhoeae. The water solution(500 mg/ml) of each lyophilized powder of aqueous extracts didn't show any antimicrobial activity on B. subtilis, S. aureus and E. coli, on the contrary, they stimulated cell growth slightly. Ethanol extracts of Korean samples showed antifungal activity on A. niger, but not on C. albicans. Neither A. niger nor C. albicans were affected by Chineses samples.

In order to clarify the originality of several Alisma Rhizomes, we investigated the differences of their morphological, anatomical and physiochemical characteristics. Morphological observation shows the variability of Alisma shape and quality. The diversities in morphological shapes and qualities of tuber were observed among different origins. Chinese product looked like corm shape, but korean's irregular shape. The microscopic observation of korean Alisma revealed the presence of irregular vascular bundle which was scattered transversely and longitudinaly, which was different from that of the rhizome. This facts suggest that the portion of crude drug in Alisma should be the corm rather than the rhizome. In the physicochemical differences, chinese Alisma contains larger amount of mineral elements such as K, Na and Ca than korean Alisma. On the contrary, protein contents in lyophilized powder of aqueous extracts in korean Alisma rhizome was significantly higher than chinese Alisma rhizome. The leaves and stems contained larger amount of Ca and Na than tuber, and may be used as the osmotic diuretics for chinese traditional medicine.
