Samjangs which were prepared using magjang, traditional doenjang, and mixture of traditional doenjang and magjang were stored. Characteristics of the stored samjangs were investigated. Maximum titratable acidity was shown in traditional doenjang after 30 day of storage. Total sugar in samjangs decreased while reducing sugar increased to $11.45{\sim}12.35%$ from $8.44{\sim}9.29%$ after 40 days. Amino type nitrogen predominantly increased to $337.3{\sim}381.1\;mg%$ after 40 days from $48{\sim}53\;mg%$ of initial period of preparation. Among the free amino acids the content of glutamic acid $(202.6{\sim}464.6\;mg/100g)$ was highest and others were not too much changed. Forty two components including 7 alcohols, 4 esters, 13 acids, 6 aldehydes, 5 phenols, 3 pyrazines and others were found in samjangs. Ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester and 2-phenylethanol were found in all treatments and ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester, phenylacetaldehyde, butanoic acid, acetic acid, 3-methyl butanoic acid and 2,4-hexadienoic acid might be major volatile components considering of high peak area. 2-Phenylethanol, butandioic acid ethyl ester, butanoic acid and 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid were higher than other components in samjang with magjang while ethanol, acetic acid, 2,4-hexadienoic acid were in samjang with traditional doenjang and 3-methyl butanoic acid, acetic acid ethyl ester and methyl pentanoic acid were in the mixed treatment.

In order to improve qualities of traditional kochujang, pear juice was added to kochujang, and the physicoche-mical and microbial characteristics of pear-added kochujang were investigated for 2 months of fermentation at 30$^{\circ}C$. Moisture contents of pear-added kochujangs increased except of 9$\%$ pear-added kochujang and crude protein contents of them decreased as the fermentation proceeded. Total sugar contents of pear-added kochujangs did not change during the fermentation period, and reducing sugar contents of them increased remarkably from early stage of fermentation. The pH of pear-added kochujangs decreased and titratable acidity of them increased during fermentation. Amino-nitrogen contents of pear-added kochujangs increased remarkable after 45 days of fermentation. Viable cells counts of yeasts in pear-added kochujangs increased to 2.2$\∼$2.9$\times$$10^{3}$CFU/g, and bacterial cell counts were in relatively constant range of 2.1$\∼$2.9$\times$$10^{7}$CFU/g at the late stage of fermentation. Color of pear-added kochujangs had no difference and 'a' value decreased slightly during fermentation. The result of sensory evaluation showed that 6$\%$ pear added kochujang were more acceptable than others.

This studies were carried out to investigate antimicrobial activity of 35 kinds of medicinal herbs against lactic acid bacteria isolated from home-made Kimchi. The most isolated lactic acid bacteria were inhibited by ethanol extract of various medicinal herbs such as Schizandra chinensis (SC), Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM), Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GU), Lithospermum erythrorhizon (LE) and Sophrora flavescens AITON (SF). But Cnidium monnier, Pinus densiflora, Paeonia suffruticosa, Acanthopanax sessiliflorum and Rhus chinensis inhibited the growth of only a few isolated lactic acid bacteria. The pH of Kimchi containing 1% of medicinal herbs extracts such as SM, GU, LE and SF was higher than that of control during fermentation for 25 days at $10^{\circ}C$, respectively. Titratable acidity and viable cells of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of the Kimchi were lower than that of control during fermentation. The sensory quality (taste, flavor and overall acceptability) of SM, GU, and LE added Kimchi was similar to that of control at 10th day of fermentation. But Sophrora flavescens AITON added Kimchi decreased significantly its sensory quality compared with control(P<0.05).

The combined effects of a sanitizer mixture solution and antimicrobial ice on the quality of salted Chinese cabbages were examined. Salted Chinese cabbages were treated with a sanitizer mixture (comprised 50 ppm aqueous $ClO_2$ and 0.5% citric acid), packed in 2% brine and antimicrobial ice, and stored for 12 days at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$. Microbiological data on the salted Chinese cabbages after washing with the sanitizer mixture indicated that the populations of total aerobic bacteria, and yeast and molds decreased by 2.20 and 1.28 log CFU/g after treatment with the sanitizer mixture. In addition, coliforms population of salted Chinese cabbage after 12 days storage at $4^{\circ}C$ in the combined mixture of the sanitizer and antimicrobial ice was 3.22 log CFU/g, which was a significantly different from that of control (5.46 log CFU/g). The combined treatment of sanitizer mixture, antimicrobial ice, and low temperature at $4^{\circ}C$ suppressed reduction of pH and elevation of titratable acidity, resulting in delaying the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Differences in salinity, hardness, and Hunter's $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values among treatments were negligible during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Therefore, this study suggests that a combination of sanitizer mixture, antimicrobial ice treatment, and low temperature storage could improve the microbial safety and quality of salted Chinese cabbages during storage.

The purpose of this study was to manufacture white bread by substituting bakery yeast with natural starter. The general composition of wild grape, was 81.22% moisture, 0.81% ash, 0.74% crude fat, 1.58% crude protein, and 15.65% carbohydrate contents. Fermented wild grape extract was made by culturing for 4 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Flour was added three times to fermented wild grape extract and incubated for 36 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ to manufacture sourdough. We investigated the quality characteristics of white bread with different amounts of fermented wild grape sourdough. The pH of dough decreased with increasing amounts of sourdough, whereas total titratable acidity of dough significantly increased. Fermentation power of dough expansion significantly increased with increasing incubation time, and control showed the highest value of 126.67%. White bread specific volume was highest in, 50% sourdough at 4.76 mL/g. Water content increased with increasing amounts of sourdough, whereas water activity was not significantly different between the samples. For texture, hardness of 50% sourdough was lowest at 19.23 g. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, softness and overall acceptability decreased with increasing amounts of sourdough. As a result, 50% sourdough can be considered as a baker's yeast substitute for making natural fermented bread.

The objective of this research was to investigate the potential use of Prunus mume liqueur byproduct (PLB) as an ingredient in noddle processing. After boiling, the weight and volume of PLB added noodles and turbidity of the noodle soup decreased significantly, compared with those of the control. In sensory evaluation, appearance and color scores of the noodle with PLB were lower than those of the control. However, scores for texture, flavor, taste and overall acceptability were higher in the noodle with PLB than in the control. The pH value of the noodle decreased with increase of PLB concentration and did not change during storage for 30 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Changes of titratable acidity in the noodle with PLB showed the same trend as pH. The surface of the noddle was covered with mold in the control and 10% PLB added noodle after 15 days storage at $10^{\circ}C$. However, the noodle with 20% and 30% PLB did not how significant increase in total bacteria up to 30 days at $10^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of application wide plastic shelter (WPS) in the 'Campbell Early' grape. WPS was developed 30cm wider than standard plastic shelter (SPS; 210cm). Under the plastic shelter, the average daily temperature was $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ higher than ambient temperature, but WPS treatment was $0.5{\sim}1^{\circ}C$ higher than SPS treatment. However, relative humidity 15~20% lower than ambient and shown different result between two treatments annually. The occurrence of brown leaf spot disease caused by Pseudocecospora vitis on the vineyard decreased 55.6% (2012) and 17.2% (2013) under WPS than SPS. Grape bunches collected two harvest seasons (2012, 2013), were analyzed fruit quality (total soluble solid; TSS, titratable acidity; TA, berry weight, berry size). In 2012, grapes had no differences in the quality of two treatments, but in 2013, significantly increase $0.4^{\circ}Bx$ of TSS and decrease 0.8% of TA on the WPS than SPS. It suggests that the application WPS reduced the incidence of brown leaf spot disease annually, and then affect to the fruit quality.

This papers were studies the effects of high $CO_2$ concentration pretreatment and ascorbic acid on the browning of fresh-cut apples. The prepared samples were dipped in 1% (w/v) ascorbic acid solution (AA). Fresh-cut apples (3 pieces) were packed in polypropylene bags (0.03 mm, $20{\times}15$ cm), and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 16 days. AA-treated samples showed higher L value than those of non-treated and control (dipped in water without $CO_2$ pretreatment), while non-treated samples showed higher hardness than AA-treated sample. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity were not affected by high $CO_2$ pretreatment and AA treatment. These result shows high $CO_2$ concentration pretreatment with dipping in 1% ascorbic acid solution (AA) has an effects on controlling enzymatic browning during the storage of fresh-cut 'Fuji' apples.

This study was performed in order to compare the changes in fruit quality and antioxidant activity depending on the ripeness degree of the banana flesh and peel (unripe, ripe, and over ripe) when stored at room temperature for 6 days. The moisture contents showed differences such as the significantly lower maturity in the over ripe fruit peel and the moisture content increase in the fruit flesh during ripening. During the maturity stage, the L and b values decreased, while the a value increased. During ripening, the titratable acidity (TA) decreased, while the soluble solids contents (SS), sugar acid ratio (SS/TA), total sugar, and reducing sugar contents increased, respectively. Also during ripening, the glucose and the fructose contents increased considerably, thus resulting in the decrease of the sucrose content. In addition, this study revealed that the phenolic substance, which was part of the fruit skin, showed more favorable reaction to radical ability than the fruit flesh. Furthermore, the DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging ability, and reducing power showed better reaction for the fruit skin than for the fruit flesh, and there was a significant increase in the antioxidative activity as a result of the higher levels of phenolic substance. Therefore, maturity played an important role in changing the chemical composition and physiological activity of a banana. The unripe peels could be used as antioxidant ingredients and they could also enhance the biological activity in the utilization of by-products.

The objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of blueberry powder: 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%. The moisture content of the control yanggaeng was lower than that of any other blueberry added groups. The pH decreased while the titratable acidity and the Brix increased as the amount of blueberry powder increased. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were the highest while the redness (a) was the lowest in the controls. Texture profile analysis showed that the hardness of the added groups were higher than that of the control which were the lowest. The total polyphenol content and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity increased as the amount of blueberry powder increased. The results of consumer acceptance test revealed that the color preference was the highest in the 9% added group while the smell, taste, texture and the overall acceptability showed no significant differences groups. Based on these results, it is suggested that yanggaeng with up to 9% added blueberry powder can be developed as products without adverse effects on sensory characteristics.
