This study attempted to examine the effect on sensory characteristics and texture of Paeksolgi in various volume of adding sugar and steaming time. The most favorite tendency on the quality was over 15% adding sugar and 20 minute steaming time. Evaluation was conducted through objective evaluation firstly and sensory evaluation secondly. The volume of adding sugar was the significant factors which affected the textual characteristics of Paeksolgi. But steaming time and interaction had not affected. In sensory evaluation on the various steaming time Paeksolgi made by steaming time for 20min and over 15% adding sugar showed the most favorite tendency on the overall quality. This condition corresponded to the high level of hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess in comparison with Rheoner measurement. In summary the most favorite factor was 12 hours of soaking time, 10% adding water, 1% of adding salt, over 15% adding sugar, 20 minutes steaming time.

The effect on pretreatments with sugar and blanching on the quality of dried carrot flake were investigated. The color of carrot flakes soaking in sugar solution for 2 mins $(60^{\circ}C,\;30 Brix)$ after water blanching $(100^{\circ}C,\;10 min)$ was similar to fresh carrots and the carrot flakes contained relatively high carotene and $Cu^{++}$ values. The osmotic dehydration with sugar solution $(80^{\circ}C,\;40\;Brix)$ prior to air drying reduced browning reaction and shrinkage. According to sensory test, no significant difference occured, after osmotic dehydration, among air drying. But there was a significant difference occured air drying after water blanching.

Alcohol fermentation conditions for the production of plum wine were investigated and further, sensory evaluation and physiological functionalities of the plum wines were also determined and compared with those of plum liquors made by soaking plums in a mixture of commercial soju and 10% sugar for 15, 30, 60 and 120 days. Ethanol was produced maximally when 5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae was added to red plum juices and fermented at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and fibrinolytic activity of the red plum wine were better than those of the plum liquors. However, the antioxidant activity, the SOD-like activity and the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the plum liquors were better than those of the red plum wine. On comparing the red plum wine and the various kinds of plum liquors, the red plum wine was shown to be more acceptable by sensory evaluation.

Soybeans(Hwangkeum Kong) were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months to investigate the changes of the physicochemical properties. Less physicochemical changes were detected in the soybeans stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ than those stored at $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$. High temperature and long term storage caused a decrease in the nitrogen solubility index, whereas increases in acid value and organic acid content were detected. As the storage period was extended at high temperatues, the content of unsaturated fatty acids decreased, but the content of saturated fatty acids increased. Decoloration of soybeans was clearly recognized under high temperatures. The water soluble compoents such as total solids, nitrogen and reducing sugar during water-soaking at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 16hrs were appreciably eluted from the soybeans stored for 8 months at high temperatures. The pH of the water extract slightly shifted to the acidic range.

In order to develop a new persimmon pickle with a low salt concentration, changes in physicochemical characteristics during soaking of persimmon pickles treated with different organic acids and sugars were investigated at $15^{\circ}C$ for 70 days. The pH of persimmon pickles decreased from pH 6.64 at initial stage to pH 3.99 (control group), pH 2.76-3.33 (citric acid treatment, CT), and pH 3.08-3.34 (acetic acid treatment, AT) after 70-days of soaking. Titratable acidity of AT was higher (0.86-1.18%) than that of CT (0.61-0.78%). After 70-days of soaking, salinity of persimmon pickles treated with stevia leaf powder, sodium saccharin, sucrose, and isomalto-oligosaccharide were 4.94-4.96, 4.00-5.15, 2.99-3.31, and 3.03-3.30%, respectively, and 1.54-3.70% lower than that of the control group (6.69%). The hardness of persimmon pickles in all cases was increased up to 20-40-days of soaking and then decreased. L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) value of persimmon pickles treated with citric acid were higher than those of AT and the control group. Sensory evaluation of persimmon pickles after 70-days of soaking revealed that CT had the highest scores for color, texture, and overall acceptability. These results indicate that the salt concentration of persimmon pickles could be lowered by the addition of citric acid and various sugars during soaking.

The effects of water soaking and gamma irradiation on the storage quality of chestnuts (Castanea crenata) were investigated. Chestnuts weirs soaked in water for 48 hrs at room temperature, irradiated at 0, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35 kGy of $\^$60/Co gamma ray, and then stored at 0$\^{C}$ and 95$\pm$2% RH for 9 months. Spouting was observed at the end of storage only in chestnuts that were soaked and irradiated at below 0.25 kGy. Rotting was found from the early stage of storage in all pre-treatment conditions, but the rotting rate of soaked chestnuts was higher twice than unsoaked ones after 9 months of storage. Weight loss was lower in soaked than unseated samples regardless of irradiation dose. Loss of flesh firmness was appreciably retarded as irradiation dose increased. Total sugar content decreased slowly in irradiated samples at the later periods of storage. Gamma irradiation resulted in the decrease of vitamin C content immediately after treatment, but retarded its loss rate during storage. Soluble tannin content was not affected by gamma irradiation at scout inhibition doses.

Korean soybean varieties, 'Seonyu' and 'Hwangkeum' were planted in 2012, and three temperature gradient, Tc($19.8^{\circ}C$, ambient temperatured), $Tc+1.7^{\circ}C$, and $Tc+2.5^{\circ}C$, were artificially created by controlling the green house system during seed filling period. Mature seeds that developed under these conditions were analyzed for variances in physicochemical properties. The 100-seed weight and seed-coat ratio of soybean were decreased, but small seed rate was increased by high temperature during seed filling period. Protein content was increased, but oil content was decreased significantly with increasing the seed filling temperature. The decrement of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N), and the increment of monosaccharide, fructose and sucrose, in seeds explained that carbohydrate assimilation during seed filling was restricted by high temperature. Rapid increments of seed volume and weight were observed in the seeds of high seed filling temperature, but as soaking time increased the highest values were observed in the seeds of ambient seed filling temperature. The 100-seed weight and seed-coat ratio of soybean were closely related not only to the increment of soaking volume and weight, but also the increments of total dissolved solids (TDS) and electro conductivity (EC). Whereas protein content and C/N ratio showed less relationship with the soaking properties, but they had a positive correlation with TDS and EC. From the results, it was considered that high values of TDS and EC in the seeds of high temperature were mainly due to the incomplete conversion of assimilates into storage compounds. However, sugar content showed less influence on the soaking properties and the values of TDS and EC.

Brownish discoloration develops very rapidly in the storage of dried oyster. This undesirable browning is mainly caused by the series of reactions of sugar-amino condensation, enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine and/or the oxidative rancidity of lipids in the tissue of oyster. Sulfites are commonly used as inhibitors for Maillard type browning reactions in agricultural products. The inhibitory effect of sulfite treatment on canned oysters was also confirmed in some investigations. The results suggested that sulfites not only work on blocking tile amadori rearrangement but also on the reduction of free tyrosine which retards the progress of enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine tyrosinase. In this paper, the effect of sodium sulfite treatment on the reduction of reducing sugar and free tyrosine as a function i)f browning inhibition in oyster was tested and other treatment with glucose-oxidase and yeast were also applied. In preparation of samples, fresh oysters were soaked in sodium sulfite solution by various concentration for different treating times, washed in running water to remove the sulfite residue, and finally dried in the shade. In the result, the treatment of sodium sulfite was certainly effective on the reduction of both free tyrosine and reducing sugars in fresh oyster. The best results were obtained by the treatment of 0.5M sodium sulfite solution for 60 minutes each for soaking and washing. Treatment with, glucose-oxidase and yeast solutions, however, did appear somewhat effective but it required so much time for a certain effect that it seemed not practically applicable.

Sugars in Korean jujube fruit and jujube fruit drinks were studied. The sugars in Korean jujube fruit were extracted by boiling with water for 30min and stirring for 1 hour at 7$0^{\circ}C$ after soaking in the water for 24 hours at 4$^{\circ}C$ followed by crushing. Korean jujube fruit was found to contain 25% of sucrose, 21.2% of fructose and 20.7% of glucose. Korean jujube fruit drinks of V company and H company were found sugar composition of 5.9% and 6.9% of sucrose, 2.2% and 2.1% of fructose and 2.4% and 2.4% of glucose, respectively. No other mono- and oligosaccharides were detected in the test of TLC and HPLC. A viscous material in jujube fruit and jujube fruit drinks was separated by ethanol fractionation, and identified as pectin by 1H-NMR and carbazole analysis. Pectin of Korean jujube fruit, jujube drink of V company and jujube drink of H company was found to contain 61, 58 and 55% of galacturonic acid, respectively.

To improve the quality control of frequently used oriental medicinal plants, the storage, cutting, processing and decokting methods of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var. purpurea Makino(熟地黃) were examined. The contents of 5-hydroxymethyl-2- furaldehyde(5-HMF) of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var. purpurea Makino were analysed by HPLC at various conditions as the standard component. Raw materials were classified into 3 groups with their specific gravity(天 地 人黃) and determined the ding weights and the contents of water, the solid component of Ji-Hwang(地黃) was the most. Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var purpurea Makino was steamed and dried nine times and analysed the content of 5-HMF on every time. In the case of Ji-Hwang, the standard component of the ninth sample was produced the most. But which of the tenth samples of Chun-Hwang and Yin-Hwang(天黃 人黃) were the most. The best decokting conditions which were determined by the yield of 5-HMF were as follows : non cutting, soaking time was 0 minutes, decokting time was 75 minutes after boiling. The contents of sugar on each of samples were determined. The contents of standard component increased by steaming number and the contents of sugar decreased.
