Blueberry Makgeolli was made with rice by adding different amounts of blueberries, and the fermentation characteristics of Makgeolli were studied during the fermentation process. The pH was the highest (6.6) at the beginning of the fermentation and decreased when the ratio of blueberries increased. The pH was remarkably reduced until the second day, and remained constant until the seventh day of fermentation. The total acidity was significantly increased until the fourth day of fermentation, and remained constant until the seventh day. Sugar contents ($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar reached the maximum after 2 days of fermentation, and gradually decreased until the seventh day. Alcohol content of control (0% blueberries) increased continuously until the seventh day of fermentation and was at 13.4%. Alcohol content of 20% blueberry Makgeolli reached the maximum on the 4th day of fermentation and slowly decreased to 10.2% until the seventh day. Total viable bacterial cell counts and yeast cell counts showed the maximum values at the third day of fermentation. In sensory evaluation, the color of the control sample was the most favored by the panelists whereas 20% blueberry sample was the least favored. There were no significant differences in flavor and taste, but overall preference was high in Makgeolli with less than 10% of blueberries.

This study was carried out to survey and confirm the occurring sites of Parnassius bremeri in Korea, and to investigate ecological characteristics to develop a mass rearing technique. In the field survey, adults were found in the two previously known sites in Gyungnam Province and another site was newly found in Samcheok, Gangwon Province. Emergence period of adults was from middle of May to middle of June. Oviposition took place on various material, including hostplant, debris, dead leaves, etc. Eggs were laid singly, up to 126.7 eggs per female. The egg-period was 221.3${\pm}$2.3 days, eggs were hatched from 11th to 22nd of January in the natural condition, and started to feed for about 10 days after hatching. Survival rate of the 1st larvae was 67.6%. Developing period of each instar in the insectary (25$^{\circ}C$, 75% RH, 16L:8D) was 11.2 days for the 1st instar, 7.3 days for 2nd, 12.8 days for 3rd, 16.2 days for 4th, and 18.2 days for 5th, and the pupal period was 21.3 days. The average longevity of adults was 26.2 days. Oviposition rate was higher in the natural condition with enough space to fly for 3♀ : 1 ♂ coupled, at least 3 ${\times}$ 3${\times}$4 m-sized room, than in smaller cage. In a comparison of the preference for visiting on sugar source, black sugar and fructose were effective.

Effect of soybean-curd whey on the dongchimi fermentation was investigated by measuring physicochemical and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$. Dongchimi was prepared with various levels (0, 2, 5, and 10%) of soybean-curd whey. During fermentation, whereas salt concentrations of dongchimi liquid (1.1 ~ 2.0%) were similar among treatments, greater decrease in pH, but greater increase of total acidity, reducing sugar content, number of lactic acid bacteria and turbidity were observed in dongchimi with soybean-curd whey than those of control from the 2nd to the 9th day of fermentation. But at the 16th day of fermentation, acidity, turbidity and number of lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi with soybean-curd whey were similar to those of control. Reducing sugar content of soybean-curd whey addition groups maintained higher than that of control. The Hunter color L value decreased gradually and that of dongchimi with soybean-curd whey was lower than that of control. b value of control increased, but soybean-curd whey addition groups decreased during fermentation. Hardness and fracturability, determined by texture analyser, were higher in soybean-curd whey addition groups than control. Sensory evaluation showed that the scores of turbidity, sweet taste, savory taste, hardness and over-all preference were significantly higher in soybean-curd whey addition groups than control (p<0.05) ; the highest with 5% soybean-curd whey addition followed by 2% addition. dongchimi with 5% soybean-curd whey addition was the most preferable one with the score of 6.5.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip pickle prepared with different pickling spices were investigated. Turnip root slices(4${\times}$1${\times}$0.5 cm) were salted with NaCl and CaCl$_2$, and then soaked into pickling solution added to commercial (pickle P) or manufactured (pickle M) pickling spice, and then stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, the acidity, pH, saltiness and reducing sugar content of two pickles were 3.1∼3.5%, 1.4∼1.7, 0.2∼0.6% and 25.2∼30.4 mg/mL, respectively. There were no significant differences between two pickles in saltiness, anthocyanin, reducing sugar content, color(Hunter L, a and b value) and hardness. However, acidity of pickle M was higher than that of pickle P throughout the storage time. Sensory results showed that the best edible time was the 14th day of storage, and at that time, scores of pickle M was higher in 리avor(7.3 and 6.9), taste(7.8 and 5.4) and over-all preference(8.0 and 6.1) than those of pickle P, and pickle M maintained good sensory qualities until 28th day of storage, compared to pickle P(p<0.05).

This study was to examine the quality characteristics of Cedrela shoots according to soy sauce conditions. First, the results were on solid samples (pickled Cedrela sinensis shoot) as follows: The pH and acidity of Cedrela shoots tended to decrease slightly in the licorice added section. The sugar content and salinity of Cedrela shoots tended to decrease gradually during the storage period. The color values of Cedrela shoots tended to change from green to dark green due to soy sauce as their storage periods. The texture of Cedrela shoots had differences according to their unique characteristics, but the change was small in the licorice added section. The overall preference appeared most high in P1-1. Next, the results were on Liquid samples (soy sauce) as follows: The pH and acidity of soy sauce tended to decrease gradually during the storage period. The sugar content and salinity did not change a lot. Microorganisms were not detected during the storage period in the established conditions. Therefore, the conditions for quality changes about pickling soy sauce during the storage period have been established and it can be anticipated to commercialize various pickle food using Cedrela shoots.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and palatability-enhancing effects of the alcohol precipitate, in the enzymatic extracts of Sargassum confusum C. Agardh (SC), obsained using the crude enzyme of Shewanella oneidensis PKA 1008. We analyzed the oligosaccharides recovered from the alcohol precipitate using a thin-layer chromatography for SC-degrading extracts, pH, color, reducing sugar, and viscosity. Thin-layer chromatography showed that after treating with the crude enzyme for 60 h, the polysaccharides were degraded into tetramers, dimers, and trimers and pH increased in the alcohol precipitate (EtOH Sedi). In terms of color, the redness and yellowness of alcohol precipitate/supernatant (EtOH Sedi+Super) and the brightness of EtOH Sedi were the highest among enzyme treated for 0 h and 60 h, EtOH Sedi, and EtOH Sedi+Super. In the reducing sugar analysis, EtOH Sedi showed the lowest value of 13.63 ㎍/mL, and the lowest viscosity of 1.13. In terms of the sensory evaluation, EtOH Sedi+Super showed the highest value with respect to the overall preference. These results suggest that the crude enzyme of S. oneidensis PKA 1008 is effective at degrading polysaccharides, and its recovery increases the palatability of the alcohol precipitate.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of ginseng Jung Kwa obtained by treatments with different sugars. Ginseng Jung Kwa was made with four different sugars (sucrose, glucose, honey and fructose). Chemical characteristic was measured by ginsenosides content and rheological characteristics were measured by rheometer and color meter. Total ginsenoside and Rf contents on Ginseng Jung Kwa by sucrose were highest at 10.0, and 7.82 mg/g, respectively. On ginseng Jung Kwa by fructose, total ginsenoside content was the lowest, and hardness and adhesiveness were the highest, and by honey, stiffness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and springiness were the highest, and fracture force did not appear as a significant difference by treatment of different sugars. Coefficient of variance on ginseng Jung Kwa by honey was the highest. On ginseng Jung Kwa by sucrose, color (lightness, redness and yellowness) all were the highest. Browning on Jung Kwa by fructose was the greatest. Sensory evaluation preference analysis (color, taste, texture, flavor and overall acceptability) on ginseng Jung Kwa were determined by 50 panelists (30~50's age) using 5-point scale. On ginseng Jung Kwa by honey, texture and overall acceptability were the best. Ginseng Jung Kwa by fructose was very sticking and adhering, so preference by sensory evaluation was inferior to others.

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.
