Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of gluten-free frying pre-mix with insoluble dietary fiber powder (IDFP) from Chinese cabbage by-product. Methods: Frying powder mix was prepared with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0% IDFP. Fried powder mix only whit brown rice powder was used as a control. Spreadability, pick-up ratio and color of batter, texture, moisture and oil contents, oil absorption and sensory evaluation of fried sweet potato were determined. Results: L and a-values of batter decreased with increasing amount of IDFP, whereas b-value increased with IDFP addition. Hardness and crispiness of fried sweet potato increased with IDFP addition until 1.5%. Moisture content of fried sweet potato increased with higher IDFP addition whereas oil content and oil absorption decreased with increasing amount of IDFP. Sensory evaluation of fried sweet potato showed the best results in the 0.5% of IDFP addition group. Conclusion: Overall preference of IDFP samples was significantly higher than that of control. Based on the study, the optimal amount of IDFP for gluten-free fried powder mix was determined to be 0.5-1.5%.

Performance of pilot plant scale extraction and concentration of purple-fleshed sweet potato anthocyanin pigment was tested and the characteristics of pigment extracts and concentrates were investigated. Fifty kilograms of purple-fleshed sweet potato was extracted with 500 L of 1% citric acid in 20% ethanol. As a whole, extraction pattern of the large scale extraction was similar to that of the laboratory scale extraction. The extracted pigment solution was filtered twice with a bag filter and a winding type microfilter and the filtrate was concentrated by a large scale vacuum evaporator at $40^{\circ}C$ and 600 mmHg vac. The mean values of total optical density (TOD) of the extract and the concentrate were 6.53 and 120.45, respectively. Browning index (BI) and Degradation index (DI) of extract were 5.86 and 1.55 and those of concentrate were 5.89 and 1.56, respectively, which indicated that the pigments were not changed or degraded through the extraction and concentration process.

The use of suitable sanitizers can increase the quality of fresh-cut produce and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. The objective of this study was to compare the washing effects of 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite (SH) and 500 mg/L acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) on the prevention of enzymatic browning and the growth of microbial populations, including aerobic plate counts, E. coli, and coliforms, throughout storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. Fresh-cut zucchini, cucumbers, green bell peppers, and root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and radishes were used. Compared to SH washing, ASC washing significantly (p<0.05) reduced microbial contamination on the fresh-cut produce and prevented browning of fresh-cut potatoes and sweet potatoes during storage. More effective inhibition of aerobic plate counts and coliforms growth was observed on fresh-cut produce treated with ASC during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of fresh-cut potatoes and sweet potatoes was more effectively inhibited after washing with ASC. The use of 500 mg/L ASC can provide effective antimicrobial and anti-browning treatments of fresh-cut produce, including processed root vegetables.

To develop sweet persimmon bread, the proper ratio of the sweet persimmon powder substituted for strong flour was decided. When 5%,10%,15% and 20% of sweet persimmon powder was substituted as much amount of strong How, the ratio of moisture absorption and loaf volume decreased while its weight increased. The contents of vitamin A,9-carotene and vitamin C increased as the substitute ratio of sweet persimmon powder increased. In color values, as sweet persimmon powder was added more, L and b values decreased and a value increased in the crust while in the crumb bread L value decreased and a, b values increased. In the sensory evaluation, the bread added with 10% persimmon powder was preferred to control in flavor, texture and overall acceptability but not in appearance.

Several tests were conducted to study lipoxygenase activity and off-flavor developement in frozen sweet corn. Fresh corn contained about 60% of total lipoxygenase activity in the germ section. When non-blanched frozen sweet corn was stored at $-10^{\circ}F$, it developed off-flavor and most significant changes in the flavor profile of off-flavored sweet corn was $4{\sim}5$ times higher hexanal peaks. The high hexanal peaks observed in the sterilized sweet corn with added lipoxygenase, alone and in combination with other enzymes, suggested the fact that high hexanal peaks in off-flavored sweet corn could be due to an oxidative reaction of lionleic acid (and other unsaturated fatty acids) catalyzed by lipoxygenase. Based on lipoxygenase activity and linoleic acid content in sweet corn, this reaction occur most heavily in the germ section of sweet corn. There was a significant relationship between flavor score of frozen stored corn-on-the-cob and hexanal peak in the germ section of corn-on-the-cob. This result indicated that hexanal peak could be used as an objective index of off-flavor development in frozen sweet corn.

This study examined the sweet taste perception, perception of sugar reduction, and utilization of nutrition labeling according to the awareness of the self-perceived sugar intake reduction of university students in Chungbuk Area. The subjects (n=419) were divided into two groups: Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (ASIR) group, male=110, female=109; Non Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (NASIR) group, male=115, female=85. The overweight/obesity was significantly higher in the ASIR group than in the NASIR group for both male and female students. The sweet taste perception was significantly lower in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The purchase level of a product with reduced sugar instead of the original products was significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than the NASIR group. Beverage purchases after identifying the sugar content were significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The necessity of nutrition labeling education was significantly higher in the ASIR group both male and female students. Based on these results, the correct perception of sugar reduction and continuous and practical nutrition education of sugar intake reduction need to maintain healthy dietary habits in university students.

In this study, we investigated the application of HACCP for a prepared side dish of sweet potato stems, within a free meal service system for the elderly in the Sungnam area. Total bacterial counts (TBC) and levels of coliforms and Esherichia coli (E.coli) were analyzed through an eight step cooking process. The TBCs of the raw samples ranged between 3.30 and 1.37${\times}10^4$ CFU/g per 100 cm$^2$ The trimmed, blanched, and drained sweet potato stems showed a mean TBC value of 1.37${\times}10^4$ CFU/g, and the level of coliforms was 1.48${\times}10^3$ CFU/g. Among the eight samples, however, after stir-frying and serving, the TBC decreased to a standard satisfactory level, and a coliforms and E. coli were not found. A five step process was used and samples were taken to check the microbial quality of the cook and cooking equipment. Here we tested for TBC, coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Salmonella. Specifically, the TBC and number of coliforms were examined on the cook's hand's, cutting board, and knife, as they represented hazards for cross-contamination. The three inspection steps of preparation of the trimmed, rinsed, blanched, and drained sweet potato stems, cook's' hands, cutting board and knife were all considered CCPs, and a manual of cooking process management was established to improve the risk factors in this study. In conclusion, this study reinforces that microbiological analysis is as a valuable tool for checking what points and stages of the cooking process must be controlled.

We could produce algin-like biomaterial of polyiduronan using polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase with polyglucuronic acid prepared by specific oxidation of primary alcohol groups of four kinds of polysaccharides(corn starch, rice starch, sweet potato starch, and cellulose). The enzyme activity was determined by the modified Dische carbazole methodology with the isolated crude enzyme from the supernatant centrifuged at $100,000{\times}g$ for 1 hr after grinding fresh bovine liver. And then, the optimal substrate, pH, and temperature for the enzyme reaction of polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase were determined as the oxidized sweet potato starch, 7.0, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Conclusively, it could be possible to epimerize polyglucuronic acid in the oxidized sweet potato starch to polyiduronic acid. Therefore, we could obtain algin-like polysaccharide using the oxidized sweet potato starch and polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase isolated from bovine liver.
