Even though plum is well known as a health food, the available processed food of it is quite limited. Furthermore it is difficult to find an easy processing method for leading to a value added product at farmhouse. This study was investigated to effects of temperature for plum extract juice by osmosis of yellow sugar. The plum was mixed with yellow sugar at equal ratio(w/w) to obtain yellowish extracted plum juice and then located in incubator at 15, 25, 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The sugar content of extract was high at the early period but decreased throughout extraction period and it was about 66.1~67.4$^{\circ}$Brix. The color difference was increased yellowish throughout the extract period. The pH of it was decreased throughout extract processing but citric acid content was increased. The speed of extraction during extraction processing was more rapid at 15$^{\circ}C$ than 3$0^{\circ}C$. However sensory evaluation score of taste and flavour was obtained at 15$^{\circ}C$ than 3$0^{\circ}C$, so the prefer temperature for plum extract juice by osmosis of yellowish sugar was 15~2$0^{\circ}C$.

The changes in free sugar composition were investigated with respect to the kinds of dried ginseng for extraction, the various ethanol concentrations used for ginseng extract manufacture and the conditions of heating temperature and time under which the ginseng extract was stored . The results are as follows: 1) The free sugar content of dried ginseng was 6.02-8.02% and the sucrose and maltose content in the free sugar was 70-80%. 2) The free sugar content was 13.82-26.29% in the Sanggunsam (dried ginseng of whole root) extract and it had a tendency to increase with increase in ethanol concentration. In addition, when a higher ethanol concentration was used, the sucrose content was in- creased but the maltose content was decreased. 3) The glucose, sucrose and maltose content in ginseng extract, decreased, in the order, as heating temperature and time were increased. On the other hand the opposite results were neted for xylose and fructose. Keywords Panax ginseng, ginseng extract, Sanggunsam.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratio in preparing Omi-Galsu concentrate. By varying the amounts of Omija extract, mung bean juice, and sugar in the concentrate mixture, we found that pH increased with greater amounts of Omija extract and sugar. According to sensory evaluations, sugar and total free sugar contents were highest when the mixing ratio was 1:1:20%(Omija extract, mung bean juice, and sugar respectively). This ratio also presented the most attractive color and highest overall acceptability.

The effect of concentration of yeast extract and NH4Cl in the mediun of alcohol fermentation of S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858 on the fermentation characteristics, specific growth rate, sugar conversion, alcohol productivity was experimentally investigated. Regardless of initial sugar concentrations, the values of the above three characteristics increased with augument of concentration of yeast extract. However, the increasing tendency ceased above a certain concentration. The concentration of NH4Cl had little effect on the change of the three characteristics. The functional relationships between the concentration of yeast extract and the characteristics were different according to the initial sugar concentrations, but those between the ratio of yeast extract concentration to initial sugar concentration and the characteristics could be expressed as same forms respectively regardless of initial sugar concentrations. Also the values of the three characteristics approached to the maximum values around 0.085 of the ratio, but did not increase any more above 0.1 of the ratio. We have come to conclusion that the optimum ratio of the yeast extract concentration to the initial sugar concentration was about 0.085 and the ratio should not be decided as greater than 0.1 in the medium of alcohol fermentation of S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858.

To evaluate the effect of Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract on kakdoogi(Korean radish kimchi), the kakdoogi was prepared, after supplementation, with Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract(0, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%(v/w)). The quality characteristics of the kakdoogi were investigated during 7 days of fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The proximate components of the Hydrangea serrata Seringe leaves were 3.48% crude protein, 6.45% crude lipid, 7.98% crude fiber and 9.32% crude ash. The pH values in the samples with the extract were higher than that of both the control group and the sugar group. The total acidity levels in the sugar group was higher than that of other groups. The sugar group showed higher L value(lightness) than that of kakdoogi fermented with the extract. A value(redness) and B value(yellowness) of the supplemented kakdoogi was lower than that of the control and the sugar group on day 7. The hardness of samples with the extract was higher than that of the sugar group. And the hardness of the groups with the extract was not reduced during the fermentation period. The control group showed higher salinity than the other groups by day 4. The samples with the extract were sweeter than the control group on day 0 then the difference disappeared after day 2. Sourness of all the groups increased during the fermentation period. However the extract did not affect the hardness or overall acceptability of the kakdoogi during fermentation.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for analyzing the manufacturing process of Prunus mume extract-added vinegared red pepper paste (maesil chokochujang) with respect to sensory quality properties. Experiments were carried out according to a central composite design, selecting the amount of kochujang, amount of maesil extract, and type of sugar in the mixture as independent variables; sensory attributes such as flavor, taste, color, and mouthfeel viscosity as response variables. The polynomial models developed by RSM for sensory color and mouthfeel viscosity were highly effective to describe the relationships between the factors studied and the responses. The estimated response surfaces confirmed that the amount of kochujang had a positive effect on color (p<0.001) whereas the amount of maesil extract had a positive effect on mouthfeel viscosity (p<0.001). Increase in the amount of kochujang led to a sharp increase of the sensory score on color at all the maesil extract and sugar type levels. On the other hand, increase in the amount of maesil extract caused a sharp increase in the mouthfeel viscosity value regardless of kochujang concentration and type of sugar. The differences among samples made with different types of sugar were not significant (p>0.05).

Effects of water extracts of antler on blood sugar levels were studied in normal rats and KK-mice. a spontaneously diabetic strain of murine. Blood sugar levels were determined at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after intraperitoneal administration of 1 ml/kg or 2ml/kg AE into normal rats. A moderate but significant decrease in blood sugar level was noticed only in 30 minutes following 2 ml/kg AE administration. On the other hand no significant changes in blood sugar level was observed in KK-mice to which 1ml/kg/day AE had been given for 10 weeks. The results of present study strongly indicate that antler extract exerts no significant effect on blood sugar levels in experimental animals.

Mulberry, Morifolium leaves and fruits, Lycii fructus, and Panax ginseng have been known to maintain normal blood sugar levels in folk medicine. Here we investigated the effects of coated rice (Sodangmi$^{TM}$) with these herb extracts to diabetes mellitus patients. Alloxan-induced diabetic mice (80 mg/kg bw, i.v.) separated into 4 groups. 2 groups received the mixed extracts of these plants (Sodans Extract$^{TM}$) orally everyday for 4 weeks. Positive control received Alloxan except Sodans Extract$^{TM}$. Negative control received neither Alloxan nor Sodang Extract$^{TM}$. Blood sugar levels, volume of water consumed, body weights of each group were measured and compared. Blood sugar levels in the Alloxan and Sodang Extract$^{TM}$-received groups got close to normal levels on 4th week after starting the experiments. Volume of water consumed also showed similar pattern. Blood sugar levels in positive control remained high through the experimental periods. Body weights in positive control remained low, but those in the extracts-received groups recovered to normal levels. The clinical trials for both of healthy volunteers and diabetes mellitus patients also showed Sodangmi$^{TM}$ could control blood sugar level. The blood sugar level decreased since 3rd week after starting to receive Sodangmi$^{TM}$, and the difference between the blood sugar level before and after the meal was decreased significantly by receiving Sodangmi$^{TM}$. From these results, we suggest that the functional rice with herb extracts could be used as a new alimentotherapy for diabetes mellitus patients.llitus patients.
