We compared the physicochemical properties of commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with and without ethanol. The pH and total acidity did not significantly differ between the two types of vinegar. Sugar content, reducing sugar content, and free sugar concentration were higher in commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with ethanol, whereas browning, turbidity, and overall color darkness were higher in vinegar fermented without ethanol. The ratio of acetic acid to total organic acids was 0.94 - 0.96 and 0.97 - 1.00 in commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with or without ethanol, respectively. A higher content of total amino acids, 93.07 - 509.48 ppm, was found in vinegar fermented without ethanol. Fermentation conditions affected the physicochemical properties of brown rice vinegar, as shown by significantly higher $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content in brown rice vinegar fermented without versus with ethanol.

The effects of vinegar, alcohol, and vitamin C on the color, microorganism count, volatile flavor components, free sugar level, free amino acid concentration, and free fatty acid level of minced ginger were investigated during storage for 17 weeks at $10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;or\;30^{\circ}C$. Bacterial levels remained unchanged during storage and mold was not initially detected. Yeast levels in minced ginger were $5{\times}10^1$ CFU/g initially, and yeast was not detected after 2 weeks. The color values increased during storage at high temperature. The volatile flavor component levels decreased during high-temperature storage. The free sugars of minced ginger were glucose, sucrose, and fructose. Sugar levels did not vary greatly with storage temperature. Free amino acid content decreased during high-temperature storage, and glutamine, valine, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine, and leucine were detected. Free fatty acid content increased during storage and the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was 3:7.

The effect of milling on the nutrients of raw and parboiled rice grain samples was investigated. Parboiling treatments of choo chung paddy decreased head rice yields and pressure parboiling proved to be more beneficial in reducing white belly rice. Except PP sample mean length/width ratio of parboiled milled rice kernels(8% milling degree) were more larger than raw milled rice and the extent depended on severity of parboil heat treatment. Parboiling had no effect on the protein content of browm rice(0% milling degree) but increased in 4%, 8% milling degree and in PL40 sample. Parboiled rice had a lower fat and the extent depended on degree of milling. Ash content of parboiled brown rice decreasd compared to raw brown rice and generally decreased according to milling degrees were high. Nevertheless, PP, PT40 and PL40 parboiled milled rice samples(0% milling degree) contained more ash than raw milled rice. Parboiling increased total sugar and reducing sugar and increased according to milling degrees were high. Parboiled rice had a high reducing sugar content than raw rice except for PT sample, and more contained as higher milling degree. Total amino acid content of parboiled brown rice increased compared to raw brown rice except for PL40 sample. Parboiled rice of 4% milling degree had a lower total amino acid content and then 8% milling degree had a higher than raw rice. Ca content of parboiled rice was lower than raw rice and tended to have lower as milling degree were high. Parboiled rice of 0 and 4% milling degree had a lower Fe content degree but higher in 8% milling degree. PP and PT40 samples contained more Fe than any other parboiled rice. Parboiled milled rice contained more thiamin than raw milled rice. Rice of milling degree 6% and PL sample contained most thiamin.

The purpose of this study is to set the Hallabong tangor's quality standards based on consumer preference survey. Until now the Hallabong tangor's quality standards has been based on the fruit size. Hallabong tangor's quality in agricultural cooperative, citrus agricultural cooperative, and some agricultural corporation has been selected in accordance with its own brand of quality grade using a non-destruction sorting machine. But, setting the Hallabong tangor's quality standards has been based on the convenient and routine method rather than the scientific and objective method, consumer's preference. According to the grade contents, more than sugar $13^{\circ}Bx$ and less than acid 1.10% has been used uniformly. Thus, in this study, based on the consumers' preference of Hallabong tangor, 5-level grades of sugar and 7-level grades of acidity were divided into the total 35-level grades. Based on this, 5-level grades were set and were divided into selling product grades(1~3) and non-selling product grades(4~5).

This study evaluated the effects of low-dose X-ray irradiation treatment on quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of imported navel oranges during storage at $3^{\circ}C$ for 45 days. The samples were irradiated at doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy, and changes in their color value, hardness, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar content, reducing sugar content, vitamin C contents, and sensory evaluation were investigated. There was no significant increase or decrease in Brix/acid ratio, total sugar content, reducing sugar content, or vitamin C content between the non-irradiated and irradiated samples. Color value of orange peels decreased with increasing levels of irradiation treatment. Color b value of orange pulp increased with an increase in irradiation dose. Difference in hardness between the non-irradiated and irradiated samples decreased at the end of storage. For the sensory evaluation after 30 days, sweetness and overall acceptability of irradiated samples at more than 0.6 kGy were low. These results suggest that X-ray irradiation under 0.6 kGy does not affect quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.

This study investigated the effects of low-dose electron beam irradiation treatment on the physicochemical and sensorial properties of imported navel oranges during storage at $20^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. The samples were irradiated at doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy, after which changes in color value, hardness, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, reducing sugar contents, vitamin C contents, and sensory evaluation were investigated. There were no significant differences between non-irradiated and irradiated samples in terms of color value, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, total reducing sugar contents, and vitamin C contents. Hardness of irradiated samples significantly decreased in the early storage period in an irradiation dose-independent manner, and the difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples decreased again at the end of storage. For the sensory evaluation, there was no significant difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples up to 0.6 kGy, and all sensory item scores decreased at the end of the storage period regardless of irradiation. These results suggest that electron beam irradiation below 0.6 kGy does not affect physicochemical and sensory properties during storage at $20^{\circ}C$. Thus, electron beam irradiation up to 0.6 kGy applied to imported navel oranges is the optimum dose for minimizing quality changes and disinfestation treatment.

The samples were irradiated at doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy, and changes in their color values, hardness, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, reducing sugar contents, vitamin C contents, and sensory evaluation were investigated. There were no significant differences between non-irradiated and irradiated samples in terms of color values, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, total reducing sugar contents, and vitamin C contents. Hardness of irradiated sample at 1 kGy decreased significantly in the early storage period, but the difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples decreased again at the end of storage. For the sensory evaluation, scores of color, sweetness, flavor, and overall acceptability decreased as irradiation dose and storage period increased. Samples irradiated at over 0.8 kGy showed low preference in all scores except color. These results suggest that electron beam irradiation below 0.6 kGy does not affect physicochemical and sensory properties; thus, electron beam irradiation up to 0.6 kGy in imported navel oranges is optimum for minimizing quality changes and disinfestation treatment simultaneously.

In this study, we analyzed composition of the bioflocculant, which strain YG-02 produces. First, supernatant and suspension from centrifugation of culture fluid of the strain, were used in the flocculation experiment. As a result, the SVI(sludge volume index) added with the suspension, was 182 mL/g, same as the control group with no additive, and the SVI added with supernatant, was 164 mL/g. So, the result above showed that flocculation capacity of the bioflocculant, was dependent on the substance which strain YG-02 produces, not on factors such as the body of germs. As a result of the thermostability test on substances that cause flocculation, the flocculation effect was significantly reduced, compared to the result of the flocculation test, before applying heat to the culture fluid, and it was able to assume that the substance that causes flocculation, was damaged by heat. Additionally, to understand the component of the bioflocculant, analyzation of sugar composition and fatty acid, was conducted. As a result, sugar composition was the polysaccharide consisting of glucose: lactose with molar ratio of 90.75:9.25. Fatty acid content was detected, as 0.0012 g/100g, showing that it contained glycolipid in the bioflocculant. Such results show that the bioflocculant which strain YG-02 produces, is the new bioflocculant, different from bioflocculantstudiedto date.

The Physicochemical properties of six varieties of domestic orange and orange juices which were grown and produced in Korea, were analyzed their qualities, including taste evaluation based on the amount and the ratio of sugar and acid The physicochemical properties of mandarin were as follows soluble solid $10{\sim}11^{\circ}$ Bx, total acidity $0.76{\sim}1.20%$ ratio of sugar and acid $7.9{\sim}13.8$. Sugars of orange are mainly composed of sucrose, glucose, fructose. The sucrose content of mandarin was a little higher than that of sweet orange. The organic acids in orange were mainly citrate and malate. The content of these two acid in oranges were 0.8-1.4%. Mandarin type oranges tastes more sour than sweet orange. Hesperdin existed 30.8-67.5mg% in oranges. Naringin, one of the bitter components. was not detected in both varieties. The optimum sweetness and acid content were determined based on the results of sensory evaluation.
