To improve a low-salted yacon pickle, the change of quality characteristics during the storage of yacon pickles were investigated at $18^{\circ}C$ for 50 days using two-way ANOVA. One factor that was added was the leaf-mustard and pepper (A), the other was storage time (B). The leaf-mustard and pepper were added to increase the yacon pickle's taste, flavor, and properties. The sugar content, total acidity and salinity were significant for factor A and B. With the interaction effect of the two factors, yacon pickles increased as storage time increased. The L value was not significant for factor A but significant for factor B. The a and b values were significant for the two factors. All Hunter's color value had the interaction effect. The shearing force was not significant for each factor, and yacon pickles did not show a softening effect. In the results of the sensory evaluation, color, taste, and overall preference were significant for factor A and B, yet the flavor was only significant for factor B. The texture was not significant at all. In the overall preference, yacon pickles were higher at 30 and 40 days and also, had the interaction effect. Yacon pickles were not above the 3.0% of salinity.

A new process based on the co-precipitation method was developed fer removing harmful impurities during Mn-Zn ferrite production such as $SiO_2$ and P from waste pickle liquor. By this process a final result of less than 100 ppm of $SiO_2$ and less than 10 ppm of P content in the ferric oxide is easily attained. Though Ca cannot be removed by this process, water rinsing of the ferric oxide is effective fer reducing Ca content to less than 100 pm. For further purification, the origins of each impurity must be investigated and then taken away.

The fellowing results are obtained by experiment on the variation of enzyme activity during pickling anchovy (Engraulis japenicus) in vinegar. 1) Protease activity increased during brine-salting. It decreased for a short time by tile addition of acetic acid and gradually changed at an invariable ratio during pickling. 2) Lipase activity decreased during brine salting but increased temporarily by the addition of vinegar, after this no fixed tendency could he observed during pickling whereas acid value abviously increased. 3) VBN (Volatile basic nitrogen) and NaCl content quickly increased during brine salting. During pickling VBN increased slowly while NaCl content scarcely varied. 4) The bacterial plate count decreased suddenly when the anchovy were placed in brine but it increased during brine salting and decreased again when anchovy were pickled and the number of count remained the same thereafter. 5) To maintain preservation effects, the acidity of the vinegar must be maintained more than $2\%$ in the muscle. 6) Based on this experimental condition, it transpires that 8 days of immersion In brine produces sufficient salt concentration in the muscles. From the results of VBN, acidity, amino nitrogen, lipase activity, and organoleptic tests, the quality of pickle was still preserved after 47 days and taste of the pickle seemed best on the thirty second day of the storage.

The purpose of this study was to measure the antioxidant activity of yacon root and to manufacture yacon pickles for commercialization as a functional food. The total phenol content in yacon roots were the highest, 29.96 mg GAE/ 100 g, in the ethyl acetate fraction and the DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity was 37.07%, and 91.60%, respectively, in the ethyl acetate fraction. The optimum recipe for the pickling solution was determined to be vinegar, water and high fructose corn syrup, at 34%, 22% and 44%, respectively. The quality characteristics of yacon pickles using this solution were monitored during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 43 days. The pH value decreased to 2.98 (42 days) during storage and $^{\circ}Brix$ gradually increased during storage. The L-value decreased significantly during storage but there were no significant changes detected in the a and b values. No significant changes were detected in the hardness of the yacon pickles. According to the sensory evaluation, no significant changes in taste, texture and overall acceptance of yacon pickle were observed during storage. These results indicated that yacon was an excellent functional food in terms of its antioxidant activity and that pickling might be a promising methods to maintain the taste and quality of yacon during storage.

The quality characteristics and antioxidative activity of garlic pickles prepared with persimmon vinegar with or without Maesil (Japanese apricot) juice were investigated. Heat treated garlic cloves ($110^{\circ}C$, 5 min and then rapidly cooling) were salted with NaCl and $CaCl_2$, and then soaked in pickling solution, and stored at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of the garlic pickles initially ranged from 2.36~3.24, after which the pH slightly increased to 3.22~4.13 during storage, while the acidity was decreased to 1~1.97. Throughout the entire storage periods, the acidity of the garlic pickle containing persimmon vinegar and Maesil was the highest (1.97%). The hardness of the control sample (non heated garlic) decreased during storage, whereas the hardness of all the heat treated groups did not change after 21 days of storage. Moreover, the chewiness of the persimmon vinegar+Maesil group was the highest among the groups. The Hunter color L value of garlic pickles decreased during storage, while the b value (yellowness) increased for all groups except the two persimmon groups. The $IC_{50}$ of the DPPH radical scavanging activity of garlic pickles at 5 day of storage was 85.98~97.81 mg/mL. However, the antioxidative activity of garlic pickles gradually increased with longer storage times. The persimmon vinegar+Maesil group showed the highest antioxidative activity. Results from the sensory evaluation showed that scores of flavor, taste and over-all preference were higher for the persimmon vinegar+Maesil group than the other groups (p<0.05).

This study aims to examine the optimum blanching conditions as a pretreatment condition to improve the storage stability of Dolsan leaf mustard pickle. The effects of the blan- ching temperature and time were investigated at a temperature range of $80-100^{\circ}C$. Sampling was done for 1 month after a 5 days interval. The L value of the Dolsan leaf mustard was found to be the highest at $80^{\circ}C$. The cutting force increased as the blanching temperature increased. The tensile strength decreased at $95^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$. In addition, the sensory evaluation scores were the best at $80^{\circ}C$. The storage stability was assessed at various blanching temperatures to increase the sinigrin content during storage. Liquid chromatography with photodiode array and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-PDA/MS/MS) analysis was conducted to identify and quantify the sinigrin content in the Dolsan leaf mustard. Sinigrin as an internal standard was co-injected into each sample solution. The sample was monitored by recording the ultraviolet absorbance at 228 nm and by electrospray ionization (ESI) positive ion mode in the m/z 50-1,500 range. Blanching the sample at $80^{\circ}C$ showed the highest sinigrin concentration during storage among various temperatures and the maximum concentration was 350 ppm at 15 days storage. Study on utilization of vegetable from food processing of leaf mustard and preservation conservation results suggest that blanching at $80^{\circ}C$ is expected to improve the palatability of the pickle.

The principal objective of this fundamental research was to analyze the physicochemical properties the and antioxidative activity of Napa cabbage pickle (NCP) for development of low-salt pickles. NCP-1 was a smaller than NCP at amount soy sauce (10%). The pH of NCP and NCP-1 were $4.51{\pm}0.15$, $4.85{\pm}0.08$ immediately after preparation. The pH of NCP and NCP-1 was reduced to $4.08{\pm}0.05$ and $4.31{\pm}0.12$ over time during 60 days of storage. The acidity of the NCP and NCP-1 immediately after preparation were 0.51% and 0.38% and increased to 0.67% and 0.56% after 60 days of storage. The salinity for the NCP ranged from 1.71-2.22% and NCP-1 ranged from 1.18-1.63%. The L value, which indicates the lightness, was the highest at day 0 and the lowest at 60 day. The tensile strength value of NCP was $10.9{\pm}0.05kgf/cm^2$ and NCP-1 in $11.84{\pm}0.11kgf/cm^2$ at day 0 and then significantly decreased with time in storage. The cutting force of NCP was $1004{\pm}7.12gf/cm^2$ and NCP-1 in $845{\pm}5.27gf/cm^2$ at day 0, which increased over time in storage. The overall acceptability of NCP was the highest at day 30, but the overall acceptability of NCP-1 was the highest at day 45. NCP-1 extracts at day 60 showed the highest antioxidant activity of 66.04%, whereas the NCP extract at day 0 showed the lowest antioxidant activity of 45.41%. These results showed that depending on the content of the seasoning pickle difference in the antioxidant activity. Thus, the best pickled Napa cabbage is determined by a smaller amount soy sauce in NCP-1, and the results could provide a basis for improving the availability and quality of Napa cabbage.
