This experiment was carried out to compare the quality of semi-dried persimmon according to various drying methods and ripeness degree of persimmons. Most of persimmons were dried naturally there were much opportunities of contamination by impurities, microorganism and discoloration. There were need for developing various drying methods and knowing proper mature degree of persimmons in order to enhance the quality of semi-dried persimmons. Drying time of semi-dried persimmons by hot-air, far infrared ray and dehumid drying could be shorten approximately 11∼12 days, comparing with natural drying. And the loss ratio of natural drying and artifical drying were 7.0% and 0.0%. The moisture content of natural drying and dehumid drying were simillar and the hardness were very low in comparing other drying methods. Average pannel scores in semi-dried persimmons after drying showed that dehumid drying and natural drying were excellent in total prefernce ; 3.9 and 3.4, respectively. Unriped persimmons showed lower moisture content, color values and higher hardness than riped and overriped persimmons. The total preference of riped and overriped fruit were superior than unriped fruit.

Ramyeon is a wheat-food that has been mixed a dietary culture of China, Japan, American and Korea. Simultaneously it was the first convenience food that made of flour in Korea, which had been relatively few recipes until the early 1960's. To examine the changes of Ramyeon which has been consumed in large quantities since the late 1960s, this paper classified 1963~2012 into 6 periods. From political, economic, social, cultural and international perspectives we considered the changes of Ramyeon through the articles analysis of mass media(DongaIlbo, The KyunghyangShinmun, MBC news). The total number of articles was 3,823 with an average of 76.46/y. Each field was summarized as following sub-topics; In political(Election, North Korea), in economic(Price, Economy), in social(Promotion campaign for eating of flour, Incidents, Donation), in cultural(Consumption, Extreme situations, Nutrition) and in international field(Exporting). Each period was named according to the feature; Early stage, Expansion stage, Domestic growth stage, Overseas stage, Advanced stage, Transition stage. Ramyeon has changed in a closely relation with society for past 50 years.
