The purpose of this study is to develop $Sulgidduk$ which meets the consumers' taste by using cooked purple sweet potato. The samples of $Sulgidduk$ were prepared with different ratios of cooked purple sweet potato(0, 10, 20, 30, 40%) and analyzed for moisture content, Hunter's color value and texture characteristics and sensory evaluation. The moisture contents of the samples ranged 40.83% to 44.91% The L-value and b-value decreased, while a-value increased, with increasing amounts of cooked purple sweet potato. In the mechanical evaluation of physical properties, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess and cohesiveness showed no significant difference with the increasing amount of cooked purple sweet potato. However, chewiness decreased significantly with the increasing amount of cooked purple sweet potato. Based on the quantitative descriptive sensory evaluations on $Sulgidduk$ samples, purple color, sweet potato flavor and taste, sweetness, and moistness significantly increased, while hardness decreased significantly with the increasing amount of cooked purple sweet potato. $Sulgidduk$ added 40% cooked purple sweet potato showed the highest in overall acceptability and the slowest hardening in the textural changes during storage.

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effectivity of microbial treatment on eliminating the toxicity of weevil-infested sweet potato roots, and to assess intake level and performance of broilers fed microbiologically-treated, weevil-infested sweet potato meal. Weevil-infested sweet potato meal was treated with Aspergillus awamori (terpene-degrading fungus), dried, and mixed with other ingredients. One hundred twenty (120) broiler chicks were randomly distributed to treatment diets containing 3 types of sweet potato meal (healthy, weevil-infested, and microbiologically-treated, weevil-infested) incorporated at 2 levels (12% and 24%) in the ration, following the $2{\times}3$ factorial in CRD with 4 replicates per treatment. Voluntary intake was high with healthy sweet potato meal, even at 24% in the ration, especially at later stage of broiler development. Weevil infestation of sweet potato meal, even at 24% in the ration, especially at later stage of broiler development. Weevil infestation of sweet potato roots significantly reduced voluntary intake and broiler performance even at 12% level in the diet, much more at 24% level (p<0.01). Microbial treatment, however, was found to alleviate such problem, especially at 24% level of incorporation (p<0.01). "Toxicity" of weevil infestation, in terms of enlargement of liver and spleen, in the absence of mortality, was only apparent at 24% level of incorporation in the ration. Again, this was minimized by microbial treatment (p<0.01), and is therefore recommended at high levels of incorporating weevil-infested sweet potato meal in broiler diets. Microbial treatment constitutes an added cost, so that economic analyses should be done to find out whether increases in broiler performance, or reduction in the toxic effects of terpenoid compounds, outweigh the cost of treatment before a definite recommendation can be made for its commercial application.

This study is to analyze the sensory and mechanical characteristics, moisture content and color values of purple sweet-potato powder sulgidduk prepared with various concentrations of purple sweet-potato powder; 0%(PP0 group), 1%(PP1 group), 2%(PP2 group), 3%(PP3 group), and 4%(PP4 group). As a result of analyzing the texture, sulgidduk with more purple sweet-potato powder added and that used adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of sulgidduk decreased but hardness was not significantly different by increasing the amount of Purple Sweet-Potato powder. The moisture content of purple sweet-potato powder sulgidduk ranged from 37~39%. Hunter color L-value of sulgidduk decreased and a, b-value increased significantly by increasing the amount of purple sweet-potato powder. The results of the study support the benefits of purple sweet-potato powder supplementation in sulgidduk in the aspects of taste and functionality. Above results indicated that sulgidduk added 3% purple sweet-potato powder(PP3) showed the best quality through the sensory and texture analysis.

In this study, potato kimchi was prepared by applying heat to raw potatoes, and then the physico-chemical properties and anti-cancer effects of the kimchi were analyzed. The texture results indicated the potato kimchi had very good hardness and springiness attributes. During th late storage period, total vitamin C content of the kimchi slowly increased. In addition, the potato kimchi had non-volatile organic acid changes that promoted early aging; however, after the complete aging period, it was comparatively similar to other types of kimchi. Using the methanol extracts of various kimchi samples, the potato kimchi(solid 100%) showed the highest anti-carcinogenic effects in terms of anti-tumor activity in tumor bearing Balb/c mice with sarcoma-180 cells. In addition, the effects of the methanol extracts on hepatic glutathione S-transferase content were $289.76\;{\mu}mol/mg$ protein/min, $250.97\;{\mu}mol/mg$ protein/min, $251.20\;{\mu}mol/mg$ protein/min, $219.53\;{\mu}mol/mg$ protein/min, $183.79\;{\mu}mol/mg$ protein/min, for control kimchi, mul kimchi, and two potato kimchis [(solid 100%) and(solid 60%+kimchi juice 40%)], respectively. The in vivo anti-cancer effects of the potato kimchi were investigated using AGS human gastric adenocarcionoma cells and HT-29 human colon adenocarcionoma cells. Overall, an MTT assay revealed that the methanol extract of the potato kimchi showed the highest anti-carcinogenic effects.

The potato tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. contain potato glycoalkaloids (PGA), a class of naturally occurring toxicants. The primary constituents of this class of compounds in potatoes are $\alpha$-chaconine and $\alpha$-solanine. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various cooking methods on the PGA contents in the common Korean potato Irish Cobbler variety and those in commercially produced potato products consumed in Korea. After cooking, most potatoes showed big decreases in their PGA contents compared to the uncooked samples, with the exception of baked potatoes, which maintained 90.86％ of their PGA contents. The PGA levels in boiled and blanched potatoes were reduced by 91.68 and 84.17％, respectively. However, the levels in samples boiled in 1％ salted water were only reduced by 52.10％. Potatoes fried and sauteed in oil had their PGA contents reduced to 49.42 and 49.51％ of their original levels. The reductions in the relative PGA contents by cooking method were in the order boiling〉blanching〉boiling with 1％ NaCl〉steaming〉sauteing〉frying〉microwaving〉baking. The highest remaining PGA content of the potato products in Korea was in potato chips, at 69.57mg/100g, but made with imported potatoes.

In order to find out the effect of low level of starch acetylation on physicochemical properties of potato starch, amylose content, digestibility of raw and gelatinized starch, thermal properties, pasting properties, and the swelling power of native and acetylated potato starches were measured. The amylose content was significantly lower in acetylated starch than in their counterpart native starches. Though a tendency in the decrease in digestibility of raw starch was observed with starch acetylation, acetylation did not alter the proportion of readily digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS) of both raw and gelatinized potato starches. No clear increase in the swelling power was observed, however, the peak and onset gelatinization temperatures and the enthalpy required for starch gelatinization decreased with starch acetylation. Peak and breakdown viscosities were reduced due to acetylation of potato starch while final viscosity and set back were increased.

The potato viruses, as possible potato virus X(PVX), potato virus Y(PVY), potato virus S(PVS) are isolated from potato tuber, which collected from eleven areas (Table 1) in Korea. These viruses are isolated by single lesion isolation, Aphid transmission and inoculating methods through the many species of the different plants. The PVX is identified by host range, symptoms, physical properties, serological reaction and electron micrography. The other two viruses are identified by the first two methods mentioned above. The results of the above experiments are as follows. The total value of these viruses infection is 81%. The value of PVX infection is higher than the other two viruses. The properties of PVX are marked as local lesions on Comphrena globosa. The dilution end point is $10^{-6}$, the thermal inactivation point is $70^{\circ}C$ and the size of virus particles is around 13 x 60 $m\mu$.

Physicochemical properties of the crosslinked potato starches of MDC(Molar Degree of Crosslinking) 0.137~3.333 treated with epichlorohydrin were examined. MDC increased proportionally as epichlorohydrin concentration increased. Water binding capacity increased but blue value decreased with increasing MDC. Gelatinization trends obtained from DSC thermograms and transmittance showed that the gelatinization temperature of the crosslinked potato starch was higher than that of native potato starch, but there was no significant difference among the crosslinked potato starches. Solubility and swelling power decreased with increasing MDC. X ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron micrographs showed that the crosslinking of starch did not affect the crystallinity and the granule shape of starch.

A study was carried out to establish the detection method of irradiated corn, potato, and sweet potato starches. The samples were packed in polyethylene bags and irradiated with 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 kGy using a Co-60 irradiator. The maximum viscosity of irradiated and unirradiated corn, potato, and sweet potato starches reduced by increase of irradiation dose levels and showed significant differences which clearly showed the effect of irradia-tion dose levels (p<0.05). Regression expressions and coefficients (p<0.000) or corn, potato, and sweet potato starches were y=-38.538x+718.23(r2=0.9761), y=669.97e-0.1372x (r2=0.9820) and y=-42.544x+730.26(r2=0.9939), respectively. Nor-malized parameter A,B and C values showed a dose dependent relationship and were a better parameter for detecting the irradiated starches than that of the maximum viscosity itself.

The possibility of substituting potato or sweet potato for the wheat, one of the raw materials for soy sauce, was studied by measuring the amylase and proteolytic activities of Koji. Also optimum conditions of Koji making were determined. It was found that substitution of up to 30% (starch content) of wheat content (15% of the total bean and wheat content) with potato yielded good qulity of soy sauce. Use of more than 30% potato yielded a Koji of low enzymatic activity. This was attributed to the high moisture content of potato. It ws also found that substitution of up to 50% (starch content) of wheat content(25% of the total bean and wheat content) with sweet potato yieldede a good quality of soy sauce. But the taste was inferior to the control (the soy sauce which was made with 50% of bean and 50% of wheat).
