The purpose of this study was to determine the organoleptic properties of mushroom pickles made at various compounding ratios according to central composite design for optimum organoleptic properties. In this study, various kinds of mushroom pickle were made at different compounding ratios of vinegar, sugar and salt-critical ingredients of the pickle recipe and the products were presented to an expert panel, who graded the subjects in 7 degrees for 5 items: color, flavor, hardness, taste and overall quality. As a result of sensory quality, mushroom pickles with 300g of vinegar, 150g of sugar and 60g of salt achieved the highest grade. Meanwhile, the results of Response Surface Methodology were different from the sensory quality results, showing that the optimum mixing conditions for overall organoleptic properties of mushroom pickle were 279.58g of vinegar, 179.34g of sugar and 59.09g of salt. (Ed- based on this conflict in results, I suggest that you make a final recommendation, of either the first, the second, or perhaps an intermediate, ratio)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory characteristics of brown sauce made with different ratios of Jubak. In the brown sauce made from Jubak, the followings showed changes according to the amount of Jubak. The content of crude lipid increased, that of crude protein and moisture decreased, and that of crude ash and reduced sugar increased. Brown sauce made from Jubak contained more reduced sugar than general brown sauce, and the content of reduced sugar increased. pH increased from initial pH 4.32 to 5.42 respectively, and viscosity increased. The "L" value expressing brightness of samples had a tendency to increase with Jubak added. "a" value had a tendency to increase in case of no Jubak added, and "b" value had a tendency to decrease according to the amount of Jubak. In the sensory evaluation, color and flavor decreased and viscosity increased with the amount of Jubak. Overall, it was the highest in 0% Jubak. From the above results, an addition of 25% Jubak to brown sauce is recommended for commercial use.

The chemical reduction of Pseudomonas syringae subsp. phaseolicola alginates produces neutral polymers of D-mannose and L-gulose in source specific ratios. L-Gulose was highly sensitive to degradation by 1N HCl at $100^{\circ}C$. As hydrolysis time increased, gulose recovery decreased to 22% after 4 hr, whereas 98% of the D-mannose was recovered under the same conditions. Thin layer chromatography showed the formation of a second product upon L-gulose acid hydrolysis. This new product had a rate of flow (Rf) value of 0.58, identical to that of 1,6 anhydro-${\beta}$-D-mannopyranose and very close to that of 1,6 anhydro-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose (Rf=0.60). Because of the difference in acid sensitivity between L-gulose and D-mannose, normal acid hydrolytic techniques applied to reduced alginates produces erroneous mannuronic acid (M): guluronic acid (G) ratio's unless one accounts for the differential rates of destruction of each sugar.

In order to determine optimum condition for the Ko-Choo-Jang (red-pepper-paste) processing, chemical analysis, mixed ratio, and sensory teat, resulted as follows. 1. The best nutritional value could be obtained after three hours at $60^{\circ}C$, which proved to be the optimum temperature in koji digestion of starch paste. 2. The component ratio of wheat flour to koji-powder was two to one giving the best digestion. 3. The mixing ratio of salt and red-pepper-powder and flour-koji was determined as 1 : 1.5 : 3 by sensory tests. 4. The highest reducing sugar content appeared in a digested mixture using glutinous rice as a starch source and the reducing sugar increased continuously with decreasing, total sugar content in almost every mixture of starches. 5. As a starch source, glutinous rice powder produced the highest total sugar in the beginning stages, however, after 10 day's curing produced less sugar than rice powder. 6. The order of total nitrogen content in the cured paste was recorded as wheat-flour, rice-powder, corn-powder, glutinous-powder, barley-powder, and sweet potato-starch. 7. Amino-nitrogen was increased with curing and the highest, value was observed in the case of wheat flour. 8. In sensory test, Ko-Choo-Jang made of glutinous rice-powder resulted in the best taste.

In the study, we determined the optimal ingredient mixing ratio for the preparation of sponge cake containing bamboo (Pseudosasa japonica Makino) leaves. This experiment was designed in according with the D-optimal design of mixture design, which involved 14 experimental points including 4 replicates for three independent variables (sugar 110${\sim}$129%, bamboo leaves 3${\sim}$8%, oil 10${\sim}$25%). The results the F-test, specific gravity, volume and color values (L, a, b) decided a linear model, while the viscosity, hardness and sensory characteristics (color, smell, taste, texture and overall acceptance) decided a quadratic model. The results of our fitness analysis demonstrated that in all characteristic, the probabilities were significant within 0.05%; thus, the models were accepted as appropriate. The response surface and trace plot results demonstrated that increasing amounts of added bamboo leaves induced a reduction in brightness, and increasing redness and yellowness. In addition, increasing amounts of bamboo leaves caused increases in hardness, and thus the softness of the cake decreased. And as the level of added oil increased, softness increased. Cake samples received low sensory evaluation scores when sugar, bamboo leaves, and oil were added above their optimal levels. In the numeric optimization, the optimal ingredient amounts were 121.36% sugar, 4.96% bamboo leaves, and 15.69% oil. The above results demonstrate the feasibility of adding bamboo leaves to sponge cake, and therefore, a bamboo leaves as a functional food.

Physicochemical characteristics of kochujang prepared with addition of garlic and onion, were investigated for 22 weeks of fermentation to obtain information on improving the quality of traditional kochujang. Moisture contents of kochujang increased during fermentation, but total nitrogen contents decreased slightly. The pH and titratable acidity of kochujang changed a little by addition of garlic or onion. Total sugar contents of kochujang decreased rapidly after 4 weeks, but reducing sugar contents increased until 2 weeks of fermentation. As the ratio of garlic increased, reducing sugar contents decreased. Ethanol contents increased during fermentation as mixing ratio of onion increased. Amino nitrogen contents of kochujang increased as mixing ratio of garlic or onion increased, but ammonia nitrogen contents decreased. Water activities of kochujang decreased slightly during fermentation, but consistency increased until 18 weeks. The color values of garlic or onion added kochujang were low in the L-values, but a- and b-values increased. Results of sensory evaluation showed garlic added$(2{\sim}4%)$ kochujang were more acceptable than onion added kochujang due to more favorable taste and flavor.

The effect of sugar alcohols in the preparation of acceptable low methoxyl pectin(LMP) jellies were studied. Sensory scores analysis, Hunter's color parameters and texture profile analysis using universal testing machine were performed. The composition of sweetners used in this study were 100％ sucrose, 75％ sucrose and 25％ maltitol, 50％ sucrose and 50％ maltitol, and 50% sucrose, 25％ maltitol, 12.5％ sorbitol'and 12.5% mannitol. LMP jellies with 100％ sucrose showed the strongest sweetness among them. Other sensory characteristics of LMP jellies were regarded as same. Hunter's value of lightness, redness and yellowness of 100％ sucrose jellies and jellies substituted with maltitol up to 25％ were not significantly different, but those of LMP jellies substituted with 50％ sugar alcohols were higher(p<0.01) than other 3 types of jellies. As substitution ratio was increased, springiness and chewiness were lower(p<0.01). Fracturability(p<0.01) and hardness(p<0.05) of jellies made of 100% sucrose and 75％, sucrose and 25% maltitol showed higer value than the other jellies. Springiness of jelles sweetened with sucrose and 3 sugar alcohols was the highest(p<0.05). Replacement of sucrose by sugar alcohol did not influenced on gumminess and cohesiveness of LMP jellies.

Experiments of alcohol fermentation of the yeast,K. fragi1is CBS 1555 were performed to obtain the following results. In these experiments, the initial concentrations of sugar which was composed of inulin and fructose as weight ratio of one to one were 30, 50, 75, 100 and 150g/l and the initial densities of the microorganism were less than 0.5g/l, 10g/1 to 15g/1, and 50g/l. The functional relationship among specific growthrates, sugar concentrations, and alcohol concentrations could be expressed by Aiba-shoda equation and the specific growth rate represented the trend that decreased with increase in the initial concentration of the microorganism. Also, $\mu$max and Ks of Monod's equation could be expressed as the function of initial cell concentration like the following equations. $\mu$max=0.8-0.008X Ks=0.54X+8 In the region that sugar, alcohol and cell concentrations were 10g/1 to 120g/l, 0g/l to 60g/l and 0.5g/l to 50g/l respectively, the differences between the experimental values and the calculated ones for specific growth rate approached to 40% with respect to experimental values at the worst cases, but in most cases, those were distributed in the range of less than 20%.

Batch growth of plant cell suspension cultures of Thalictrum rugosum was studied to clarify the kinetic behaviors. It was found that the product formation was growth associated. The specific growth rate was $0.20-0.25\;day\;^{-1}$/TEX> at the growth phase and the FW/DCW ratio was an interesting parameter which represented the status of the cells or the status of sugar concentration. The cell yield was 0.36 g cells/g sugar. The maximum berberine level was 139 mg/L of which 120 mg/L was intracellular. In terms of the specific content of berberine, the product was 1.10% of dry cell weight. At the growth phase, the relationship between the specific growth rate and sugar concentration was described well by Monod kinetics.
