The principal objective of this study was to develop and standardize a preparation method for low-sodium tomato jangachi (traditional Korean pickle) via short-term fermentation with immature green cherry tomatoes. In order to determine the preferred concentrations of soy sauce and soaking temperatures of immature cherry tomato pickles in different stages of storage, we conducted an analysis of physico-chemical characteristics and microbiological properties, and also performed a preference test on samples of immature green cherry tomato pickles. Immature cherry tomatoes were prepared in three different soy sauce concentrations --20, 40, and 60%-- and three different soaking temperatures --60, 80, and 100$^{\circ}C$-- and then stored for 28 days at 5$^{\circ}C$. As a result, the pH increased significantly with increases in the amount of soy in the dipping solution (p<0.05). The saltiness was maintained at levels of approximately $0.17{\sim}0.28%$ (20% group), $0.32{\sim}0.67%$% (40%group), $0.48{\sim}1.00%$ (60% group) during storage periods. These results show that the saltiness of immature cherry tomato pickles was substantially lower than that of commercial pickles. The contents of reducing sugar and lightness decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of soy dipping solution. The redness and yellowness values of the tomatoes decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of soy sauce. Additionally, the lower the concentration of soy sauce used, the more rapidly the hardness of the immature cherry tomato pickles was reduced at 100$^{\circ}C$. PME activity moved within a narrow range, and then stabilized during the storage period. With regard to the results of the consumer preference test, 20%-100$^{\circ}C$ was the most preferred condition overall, 40%-80$^{\circ}C$ was the condition in which the texture was most preferred, and 40%-80$^{\circ}C$ was the condition that yielded the highest color scores.

In this study, the distribution, bait preference, hosts, symbionts, habitat status, and cytochrome c oxidase subunit-I sequences of the ant Linepithema humile were analyzed. This species habitat comprised approximately 1.5 km along stone crevices, flower gardens, roadsides, and container yards in the vicinity of Busan station, Korea. Feeding activity of this species was confirmed in 9 species of 7 families of plants. Which was approximately 14% of total flora (63 species of 37 families) in the studied area. Particularly, it was observed that Dendranthema indicum and Camellia japonica were the most frequently visited. Further, we verified that they interacted with four species of aphids. We identified 22 species of ants (17 genera, 4 subfamilies) inhabiting the Busan station area, including L. humile, Tetramorium tsushimae, Nylanderia flavipes and the alien species Paratrechina longicornis. In areas where L. humile was the dominant species, the habitat of local native ants was reduced by approximately 30%. Bait preference was ranked in the following order: jelly, water with glucose (25%), and yogurt, with the highest preference for baits containing sugar and protein. The 630-bp cytochrome c oxidase subunit-I sequences of the local L. humile populations were 99% identical to those of L. humile in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database, and the Argentine ants that invaded Korea had a sequence identical to that of other invasive populations from China, Japan, and New Zealand. As L. humile rapidly increases due to domestic adaptation, continuous monitoring and control strategy for eradication are needed to protect domestic biodiversity.

Four kinds of commercial vinegars were investigated to compare physicochemical properties (pH, acidity, color, tannin and metal content), minor components (free sugar, free amino and organic acid), and their organoleptic tastes. The ratio of nonvolatile organic acid to the total organic acid was decreased in the order of brewed, cider, brown rice, and persimmon vinegar. Especially malic acid content was appeared to be highly remarkable in cider vinegar. Glucose and fructose were the predominant components among free sugars regardless of the kinds of vinegar. Free amino acid contents in cider, brown rice and persimmon vinegars have shown a little deviation among the same kind of vinegar samples, but were obviously more abundant than those in brewed vinegars. Color preference, sourness and sweetness of the vinegars were not statistically different (p>0.05) among four kinds of vinegars, whereas overall taste preference, background taste preference and intensity showed significant differences (p<0.05) with respect to the type of vinegar. Brewed and cider vinegars have revealed higher sensory scores in overall and background taste preference than the persimmon and brown rice vinegars. Even though there were no high relationships between minor components and organoleptic taste in commercial vinegars the ratio of acetic acid to the total organic acid was significantly correlated (p<0.01) with the overall taste preference.

Determining the optimal mixing ratio of pumpkin, water, glutinous rice powder, red bean, kidney bean in preparing Hobakjook has been attempted and on the basis of it, Hobakjook with glutinous rice powder was set to be A group, and the one that glutinous rice powder was replaced by brown glutinous rice powder for the purpose of enhancing preference and nutrition was set to be B group. A group and B group with additional 0％, 5％, 10％, 15% perilla powder of pumpkin weight was labeled as Al-A4 and Bl-B4 respectively, and then analyzed nutritionally. Optimal material mixing ratio and preference was investigated by use of sensory evluation and instrumental test. As a result, the optimal material mixing ratio was determined as pumpkin 400 g, water 60 cc, glutinous rice powder 40 g, red bean 30 g, kidney bean 30 g, salt 4 g, sugar 10 g. In sensory evaluation significant difference (P < 0.05) was shown among the samples in color., flavor.1, falvor. II and overall quality. And A3 in viscosity, A2 in color, A4 in sweetness, B2 in flavor 1, Al and B2 in flavor 11, and B2 in overall quality was preferred most. Instrumental measurement shows that B4 in viscosity and A4 in sweentness was highestly recorded and showed significant difference (p<0.05). As the addition of perilla powder increased, the viscosity and sweetness was increased. In color measurement A4 in L value, A3 in a value, and Bl in b value was highestly recorded. And as perilla powder was added, L value and a value was increased while b value was decreased. Color in sensory evaluation was significantly correlated to b value in instrumental measurement. In summary, Hobakjook with brown glutinous rice was superior to the one with glutinous rice in preference and proximate composition, and as the addition of perilla powder was increased, proximate composition was increased but preference was rather decreased, and Hobakiook with 5％ addition of perilla powder to brown glutinous rice powder was preferred most.

Various contents of Rosa rugosa Thunb. fruit(0, 10, 20%), which is grown along the seashore of Gangwon province, were applied to apple jams having different sugar concentrations(20, 40, 60%). The resulting jams were analyzed using a sensory scoring test as well as a response surface methodology to identify the optimum conditions for the preparation of high-preference apple jams. The sensory properties based on sense of sight, smell and taste appeared to be linked to the sugar contents. It could be attributed to the presence of flavor compounds and pigments generated from the caramelization of sugar molecules during heat processing. On the other hand, rheological properties such as viscosity and spreadability were associated with Rosa rugosa fruit content, which was also verified by textural analysis of the jams. As the contents of Rosa rugosa increased, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the jams decreased, which eventually might have contributed to the less thick and thus more spreadable sensory characteristics. Sensory evaluation revealed that apple jams were preferred when prepared with $\leq$10% of Rosa rugosa fruit and $\geq$55% of sugar contents. In particular, apple jams containing 10% Rosa rugosa and 60% sugar showed better mechanical qualities as well as higher sensory preference among 10 jams formulated using central composite design.
