Water is an essential ingredient to brew coffee. Mineral contents in the water can affect both water quality and taste quality of coffee. The effects of minerals in the water on sensory characteristics of coffee were investigated in different water samples (A: Arisu, B: Claris, C: Spring water, D: Samdasoo, E: Evian, Distilled water as control). Based on the results of quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), there were statistically significant (p<0.01) in flavor, acidity, bitterness, sweetness, body and aftertaste according to different water samples used to brew coffee. The canonical correlation analysis of minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K) and taste (acidity, bitterness, sweetness) indicated that there were highly correlated in the relationship between bitterness and Mg content. A strong negative relationship was shown between bitterness and acidity, sweetness. A result of preference test using hedonic scale showed an inverse linear relationship between taste quality and total mineral contents.

Precipitation samples were collected by the wet- only event sampling method from Seoul during September 1991 to April 1995. These samples were analyzed for the concentrations of the major ionic components (N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, C $l^{[-10]}$ , $F^{[-10]}$ , N $a^{＋}$, $K^{+}$, $Ca^{2＋}$, $Mg^{2＋}$, and N $H_4$$^{＋}$), pH, and electric conductivity. During the study period, a total of 182 samples were collected, but only 163 samples were used for the data analysis via quality assurance of precipitation chemistry data. The volume-weighted pH was found to be 4.7. The major acidifying species from our precipitation studies were identified to be non-seasalt sulfate (84$\pm$9 $\mu$eq/L) and nitrate (24$\pm$2 $\mu$eq/L) except for chloride. Because the Cl/Na ratio in the precipitation was close to the ratio in seawater. If all of the non-seasalt sulfate and nitrate were in the form of sulfuric and nitric acids, the mean pH in the precipitation could have been as low as 3.7 lower than the computed value. Consequently, the difference between two pH values indicate that the acidity of precipitation was neutralized by alkaline species. The equivalent concentration ratio of sulfate to nitrate was 3.5, indicating that sulfuric and nitric acids can comprise 78％ and 22％ of the precipitation acidity, respectively. Analysis of temporal trend in the measured acidity and ionic components were also performed using the linear regression method. The precipitation acidity generally showed a significantly decreasing trend, which was compatible with the pattern of the ratio (N $H_4$$^{＋}$＋C $a^{2＋}$)/ (nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$＋N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ ).).

This experiment was carried out to clarify the effects of gibberellin(GA) aplication and bagging on repeening and quality in 'Delaware' grape berries. Treatments are 4 plots(2X2 factorial experiment); GA, GA+bagging, bagging and control. The clusters were dipped twice in 100 ppm GA with GA treatment : 10 days before and after the full bloom. The results obtained as follows: 1. GA treatment made the seedless grape berry reduced in the fresh weight but it hastened the ripening period about 2 weeks. 2. Total soluble solid(TSS), viscosity and pH value of berry juice increased with maturation. The concentration of TSS and viscosity were higher in GA treatment plot than GA non-treatment. 3. Berry-hardness, titratable acidity and alcohol inslouble solid(AIS) decreased with maturation. Expically berry-hardness and AIS decreased more greatly in GA non-treatment than GA treatment. 4. The concentration of anthocyanin increased with ripening but pectic substance didn't fluctuate nearly. These of anthocyanin and pectin were higher in GA non-treatment plot than GA treatment. 5. By analysis of factorial experiment GA treatment was highly significant with the $^{o}$Brix/Acidity ratio, juice viscosity and AIS, but high negatively, significant with berry-hardness and berry fresh weight. And it was significant with T S S and negatively, titratable acidity. Bagging was significant with $^{o}$Brix/Acidity ratio and AIS content, but negatively, titratable acidity. 6. Qualitative characters were high correlated with the $^{o}$Brix/Acidity ratio in simple correlation but direct effect by the path-coefficient analysis didn't coincide with simple correlation. The direct effect of pH was large and juice viscosity, the next. And that of berry-hardness was negligible but, AIS, small negatively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Paecilomyces japonica mycelia(PJM) on pH, titrable acidity and microbiological qualify of Jeungpyun(fermented rice cake). Jeungpyun prepared with $0\~\%$ of PJM stored at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and 7 days respectively. Before fermentation of Jeungpyun dough, viable cells of total bacterial counts(TBC), yeasts and lactic acid bacteria(LAB) were $6.0\~9.8\times10^6,\;5.3\~9.0\times10^6,\;5.4\~8.5\times10^6\;CFU/g$, respectively. During the fermentation of dough, viable cells of TBC, yeasts and LAB increased $0.3\~0.4$ log cycle and pH was decreased whereas acidity increased as the progress of fermentation. Total viable cells in Jeungpyun before storage were $5.0\times10^1\;CFU/g$. During storage of Jeungpyun, TBC, yeasts and LAB of control group increased 2.6, 2.4, 2.1 log cycle at $5^{\circ}C$ and 4.8, 4.6, 4.5 log cycle at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively, when reached at maximum level. Major microflora of Jeungpyun was composed of yeasts and LAB during fermentation of dough and storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Addition of PJM, inhibited the growth of microorganisms, the changes of PH and titrable acidity of Jeungpyun during storage at both of $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. From these results, the addition of PJM extended the shelf-life of Jeungpyun during storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$.

Background: Stress as a cause of mental health problems is known to be more prevalent in women than in men and has a negative effect on several aspects of physical health, such as the composition of blood and saliva. This study investigated the relationship of perceived stress with blood cell counts, saliva flow rate, and saliva factors. Methods: We recruited women in their 20s with a high prevalence of stress. Stress was evaluated using the Korean version of the perceived stress scale. Blood tests included white blood cell, hemoglobin, and platelet. We then examined the saliva flow rate and cariogenic bacteria level, acidity, occult blood, buffer capacity, leukocyte level, protein level, and ammonia level using rinse water with the SILL-Ha^Ⓡ saliva test system. Results: In a total of 70 participants, the average age was 21.64 years old, the average perceived stress score was 16.96±4.32, and high levels of stress were reported by 80% of the participants (n=56). The high-stress group had lower hemoglobin levels. In addition, the high-stress group showed a lower saliva flow rate than the low-stress group, and there was a difference in the salivary acidity and buffer capacity. The total perceived stress score showed a positive correlation with acidity and negative correlation with buffer capacity and the hemoglobin level. Conclusion: This study found that stress in female college students might affect the composition of blood and saliva. High levels of stress were positively correlated with the hemoglobin level, saliva flow rate, and acidity and negatively correlated with the buffer capacity.

Effect of sulfation processes on the physicochemical properties of ZrO₂ and TiO₂ nanoparticles were thoroughly investigated. SO₄/ZrO₂ and SO₄/TiO₂ catalysts were synthesized to identify the acidity character of each. The wet impregnation method of ZrO₂ and TiO₂ nanoparticles was employed using H2SO₄ with various concentrations of 0.5, 0.75, and 1 M, followed by calcination at 400, 500, and 600 ℃ to obtain optimum conditions of the catalyst synthesis process. The highest total acidity was found when using 1 M SO₄/ZrO₂-500 and 1 M SO₄/TiO₂-500 catalysts, with total acidity values of 2.642 and 6.920 mmol/g, respectively. Sulfation increases titania particles via agglomeration. In contrast, sulfation did not practically change the size of zirconia particles. The sulfation process causes color of both catalyst particles to brighten due to the presence of sulfate. There was a decrease in surface area and pore volume of catalysts after sulfation; the materials' mesoporous structural properties were confirmed. The 1 M SO₄/ZrO₂ and 1 M SO₄/TiO₂ catalysts calcined at 500 ℃ are the best candidate heterogeneous acid catalysts synthesized in thus work.

An ion-exchange/conductometric method is applied for the determination of total acidity in simulated atmospheric samples. Non-$H^+$ cations and strong acid anions are enriched by the preconcentrator columns in series and eluted through the corresponding parallel suppressor units. The conductivities from each channel correspond to the concentrations of the resulting ionized species in equivalents per unit volume. The difference is the measure of acidity due to strong acids. With 5-min sampling at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, the detection limits for ${NH_4}^+$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ are 0.3 and $0.1{\mu}equiv/L$, respectively. The acidity for samples composed of various ions can be determined without significant error, usually less than 5%. The proposed method discriminates against the artifact from the $CO_2$ dissolution. Principles of acidity measurements are also presented.
