Addition of sugar, enzymatic hydrolysis and salt concentration were evaluated for their effects on the changes in some characteristics of Kimchi juice during fermentation. The Kimchi juice was prepared by brining and grinding of outer layer leaves of chinese cabbage, one of the wastes products of Kimchi processing, followed by fermentation proceeded significantly faster. Addition of sucrose or glucose at the ange of 0.5~2.0 % also improved the fermentation but the concentration effect was little. Enzymatic hydrolysis on the brined cabbage prior to fermentation with a commercial polysaccharides hydrolases also increased the fermentation. However the solid concentration in Kimchi juice was rather decreased by higher concentration of NaCl and enzymatic hydrolysis. The reducing sugar content showed a rapid decrease from 24 hours of fermentation and the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis was little.

The effect of blueberries on the quality characteristics of strawberry jam substituted with 50% sugar, glucose syrup 10% was investigated. Strawberry jams with 5, 10 and 20% blueberries in place of strawberry were prepared and evaluated for moisture content, reducing sugar, total acidity, pH, color, total sugar (°Brix), pectin content, anthocyanin content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, texture analysis and sensory characteristics. As the amount of blueberries increased, total acidity, °Brix , reducing sugar content and anthocyanin content of jams increased, while pH decreased, moisture content has changed little. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the 80% methanol extract from jams were 75.33%, 85.75%, 91.23% and 92.73% at a concentration of 8 mg/mL. Radical scavenging activity increased with the added concentration of blueberries. The lightness decreased with addition of blueberries, but the redness and yellowness increased. The sensory scores for jams increased with the increase of blueberry content; however, strawberry jams with 10% blueberries showed the best scores.

Growth of acrospire length from germinated covered barley with 1.5∼2.0 times length of buds had the highest amylase activity for 9 days at 15$^{\circ}C$. When the extraction of malt was carried out at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 3.5 hr., total sugar, reducing sugar, sweetness determined by refractometer and amylase activity were the highest, and 2.33%, 1.61%, 3.4 brix(%), 28,332 units, respectively. The sikhe saccharificated at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 8 hr. showed total sugar content increased to 3.90∼9.27% in nonwaxy rice, 4.19∼11.91% in waxy rice, and reducing sugar-content increased 3.30∼7.61% in nonwaxy rice, 3.31∼9.11% in waxy rice. Also, brix was increased to 3.6∼10.8 brix (%) in nonwaxy rice, 3.6∼12.8 brix(%) in waxy .ice, as saccharification time increased. The amylase activity was decreased as saccharification time was increased. And pH was gradually decreased according to time increase, however, it changed little after 4 hr. Morphology of cooked rice kernel during saccharification for sikhe gradually enlarged the oval for hydrolyzed starch granule by increasing saccharification time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dill on the quality characteristics of tomato sauce during 60 days of storage. As storage time increased, the pH stays between 4.10-4.22 on all additives. The lowest pH appeared on a 0% dill added sample during the storage period, except at 45 or 60 days of storage. The more dill was added, the less sugar appeared, and this was generally consistent across other samples. As storage times increased, the sugar content showed a tendency to decrease in all additives. Salinity turned out to be between 0.90-1.48 among all of the additives. For the L-value, the more dill was added, the less the L-value decreased, and this was consistent across all the samples. As the storage period increased, the L-value showed a tendency to decrease in all samples. The more dill was added, the more the a-value showed a tendency to decrease. The b-value showed a tendency to decline the more dill was added. Also, as storage time increased, the b-value decreased in all samples. Viscosity showed a tendency to increase in all samples the more dill was added. The reducing sugar content was kept between 44.83-55.38. A sensory evaluation was performed by 15 professional panelists with scoring tests for color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, viscosity, and overall acceptability. The tomato sauce with 2% dill showed the best score in the color, flavor, and overall acceptability. From the above results, the data suggests that an addition of 2% fresh dill to tomato sauce is recommended for commercial use.

In this study, we have investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of Rehmannia glutinosa JungKwa (RJ) prepared with different types of sugars (sucrose, isomalto-oligosaccharide, honey or sorbitol). Moisture content was the highest in RJ with honey. The pH level was the highest in RJ with sorbitol, whereas the acidity is the highest in honey. The reducing sugar content is the highest in RJ with honey. The L and a values of Hunter color system showed the highest in RJ with honey, while the b value the highest in RJ with sorbitol. The hardness of texture profile analyses represented the lowest in RJ with sorbitol. Sensory results showed that RJ with sugar was the best in the sensory preference test. The total phenol content was the highest in RJ with honey, while the lowest in RJ with sorbitol. The antioxidant activity determined by $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH and hydroxy radical scavenging activities was the highest in RJ with honey. From these results, it was suggested that RJ with honey show the highest antioxidant activity.

This study compared the physicochemical properties of root hair of white ginseng (WG), root hair of tissue cultured mountain ginseng (MG), root hair of red ginseng (RG) and extruded ginseng samples. The comparison of crude ash and total sugar resulted insignificant differences between extruded and raw samples. MG had a higher content of crude ash, crude protein, amino acids and polyphenolic compound than WG and RG; the total sugar and reducing sugar were highest in RG. Crude fat and acidic polysaccharide in RG and WG were similar to and higher than MG. Crude saponin of treated samples WG1 (moisture content 25%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$) and WG3 (moisture content 35%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$) were 9.80% and 9.73%, respectively, which were the highest among ginseng samples. In conclusion, the extrusion process can be applied to red ginseng manufacturing, and some characteristics of MG were higher than in RG and WG.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of soaking time (6, 12 and 24 hr) and steeping temperature (25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$) on germination time, germination percentage and weight loss of wheat and barley. Changes in chemical composition (such as protein, fat, and ash), reducing sugar content, enzyme activity and pasting profile and GABA ($\gamma$-animobutyric acid) content of germinated wheat and barley were also evaluated. The results clearly suggest that the short soaking time and lower steeping temperature significantly decreased germination time and weight loss, while germination percentage increased. Regarding the chemical composition, the protein content of wheat and barley was slightly increased after germination but there was no significant difference in content of crude fat and ash of both germinated cereals. The reducing sugar content of both germinated cereals decreased as the steeping temperature increased from $25^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. Increasing soaking time and steeping temperature led to increased amylase activity, and also corresponded to reduced paste viscosity. The highest GABA content that occurred with soaking times of 6 and 12 hr and a steeping temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ was 1,467.74 and 1,474.70 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated wheat and 2,108.13 and 1,691.85 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated barley. This study indicated that the optimum germination process for wheat and barley is a low steeping temperature and a short soaking time.

Uncooked rice Tackju was prepared from the groud rice with different particle size such as 12, 20, 35 and 50 mesh, and its characteristics were analysed during the brewing. Reducing sugar and ethanol contents as well as yeast cell counts were the highest in main mash and Tackju prepared from 20 mesh fraction. Especially, reducing sugar content was about. 1.5-2.5 times as much as that obtained from 35 or 50 mesh fraction. The final concentration of ethanol in main mash prepared from 20 mesh fraction was 14.8%(v/v). It was about 1.5%(v/v) higher than the lowest one [13.35%(v/v)] which was prepared from 12 mesh fraction. No significant difference In total acidity was observed. Sensory evaluation revealed 20 or 35 mesh Tackju to be the best in overall preference, especially in sweet and refreshing tastes.
