The aim of this study was to analyze moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, vitamin C and sugar changes in selected Korean chestnut cultivars such as Danteack, Deabo, Seokchu, Okkwang and Byunggo during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ for 10 months. The moisture contents of selected Korean chestnut cultivars ranged from 49.9 to 57.4%. The moisture content of Seokchu was the highest. The contents of moisture in white kernel were higher than that in yellow kernel. The content of moisture showed decreasing tendency after 10 months of storage. The crude protein and crude lipid contents in whole kernel of selected Korean chestnut cultivars were $3.3{\sim}4.2%$ and $0.3{\sim}1.6%$, respectively. The crude protein content of Deabo was the highest. The crude protein in Danteack, Seokchu, Okkwang and Byunggo was increased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 months, while that in whole kernel of Deabo was decreased and no changes in crude protein in yellow kernels of Deabo were observed. The crude protein in Okkwang was increased during storage at $-10^{\circ}C$ for 10 months. The cold storage was found to have higher composition change of crude protein than the freezing storage. The content of crude lipid in Daebo and Byunggo was decreased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$. Yellow kernels of Deabo, Okkwang and Byunggo were found to have higher crude lipid content than white kernels. The vitamin C content also decreased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ and the decrease in vitamin C content was higher at $4^{\circ}C$ than $-10^{\circ}C$. Vitamin C was not detected after 3 months storage at $-10^{\circ}C$. The sugar content increased at the latter period storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$. The sugar content of selected Korean chestnut cultivars ranged from $36.2{\sim}44.3%$ and Dantaek had the highest sugar content.

${\beta}-Carotene$, vitamin E, and folate contents according to color and species of Capsicum annuum were investigated. In addition, four C. annuum species were cooked by using different methods (boiling, pan-cooking, pan-frying, deep-frying, steaming, roasting, and microwaving), and retention rates of ${\beta}-Carotene$, vitamin E, and folate affected by color and species were evaluated. Weight loss was observed in all paprika and pepper species using all cooking methods. ${\beta}-Carotene$ and folate contents of C. annuum samples were significantly different by color, species, and cooking method (P<0.05), whereas vitamin E contents were not significantly affected by species. ${\beta}-Carotene$, vitamin E, and folate contents (mg/100 g) of raw C. annuum showed ranges of 95.4 (green pepper)~2,441.1 (red pepper), 0.7 (green paprika)~4.2 (red paprika), and 6.2 (green pepper)~148.7 (red pepper). As a result, the highest ${\beta}-Carotene$, vitamin E, and folate contents were detected in deep fried red pepper, roasted red pepper, and boiled red pepper, respectively, among the cooked samples. Retention rates of C. annuum varied by cooking method, resulting in ranges of 77.3% (boiled red pepper)~356.4% (roasted green pepper) for ${\beta}-Carotene$, 2.0% (microwaved red pepper)~789.3% (deep-fried green paprika) for vitamin E, and 20.9% (microwaved red pepper)~445.1% (steamed green pepper) for folate. Over 75% retention rates were observed for ${\beta}-Carotene$, vitamin E, and folate in all samples except for red pepper. However, in red pepper, vitamin E and folate retentions were remarkably lowered by deep frying and micro-waving, resulting in rates of 2.0~32.1%. This study provides information on effective cooking methods for vitamin retention in C. annuum depending on color and species.

본 연구는 강원도 고랭지에서 자생되는 산채류를 이용하여 총질소함량을 기준으로 소맥대신 이들 산채류를 일정비율로 대체하여 더덕 및 산채혼합 간장을 제조하여 그 특성을 조사하였으며 또한, 감마선조사 또는 블랜칭처리가 참나물 즙액의 선도유지연장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 제조된 간장의 총 질소함량은 일반적으로 산채 대체량의 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 숙성 4개월 후의 무기질 함량에 있어 더덕 20% 대체간장은 Ca, K 함량이 각각 1.3배, 1.5배의 증가율을 나타내었으며, 산채 혼합 10% 대체간장도 Ca 함량이 1.5배 증가하였다. 대체량 별로 아미노산 함량 변화를 살펴보면 더덕간장 10% 대체군의 경우 threonine과 aspartic acid가, 산채 혼합 10% 대체군은 tyrosine과 arginine이 높은 증가율을 나타내었다. Rec assay system을 이용한 항돌연변이 시험에서, 더덕간장은 10%와 20% 대체군이, 산채혼합 간장은 7%와 10% 대체군이 다른 시료에 비해 높은 항돌연변이성을 나타내었다. 관능검사 결과, 전체적 기호도에 있어 더덕간장은 7% 대체군, 산채혼합 간장은 5% 대체군이 가장 우수하였다. 미생물의 생육변화는 감마선 조사를 하였을 때 두처리구 모두 0.5 kGy 조사에서도 무처리구에 비하여 현저한 생육감소를 나타내었으며 감마선 처리된 녹즙을 저온에서 저장하였을 때는 미생물의 생육억제효과가 높았으나 상온에서는 감마선 효과가 매우 감소함을 나타내었다. 색도변화는 블랜칭한 녹즙이 블랜칭하지 않은 녹즙보다 색깔이 훨씬 선명하고 맑은 녹색을 띄었으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 감마선 조사구가 시간이 경과함에 따라 무처리구에 비하여 L값, a값 및 b값이 훨씬 적게 변화함을 나타내었다. 비타민 C의 변화는 블랜칭 처리한 녹즙의 비타민 C의 함량변화는 블랜칭 처리를 하지않은 녹즙보다 적었으며 감마선 처리구와 거의 차이가 없었으며 온도가 낮을수록 두 처리구 모두 비타민 C의 손실율이 적게 나타났다. 감마선을 조사하였을 때 블랜칭하지않은 녹즙에서는 무처리구와 비교하여 볼 때 밝기, 풀냄새, 쓴맛, 신선감 및 수용성에서 차이가 없었으며 블랜칭한 녹즙에서는 무처리구가 감마선처리구에 비하여 풀냄새와 쓴맛이 증가하였고 신선감과 수용성이 감소되었다.

This work aimed to investigate the changes in the nutrient contents and antioxidant activity of Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. by ripening stage, growing condition, and blanching. The crude protein content of the young leaves (3.6~4.3%) was higher than that of the mature leaves (3.1~3.9%). Higher calcium contents were observed in the greenhouse-cultivated samples (225.9~259.2 mg/100 g) compared to the field-cultivated samples (178.5~199.5 mg/100 g). The vitamin C and folate contents (18.1~83.8 and 175.8~220.2 mg/100 g, respectively) of the field-cultivated samples were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the greenhouse-cultivated samples (13.1~57.7 and 133.0~148.8 mg/100 g, respectively). The growing condition and blanching were significant factors affecting the changes in the vitamin and polyphenol contents. The ${\beta}$ carotene contents of the blanched samples increased 2.6-fold compared to those of the raw samples. The total polyphenol contents (10.2~17.1 mg/g extract) and DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}=2.0{\sim}3.0mg/ml$) of the blanched samples were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the raw samples (1.8~4.3 and $IC_{50}=16.2{\sim}21.1mg/ml$, respectively).

The objective of this study was to develop oral matrix tablets for the sustained release of vitamin C. In this study hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has been utilized as an excipient, as it is one of the most widely used polymers, for use during long periods of time in formations. The vitamin C tablet formulation depends on the molecular weight and concentration of sustained-delivery in HPMC. Anti-oxidants have been added as a dissolution medium in order to prevent vitamin C degradation in water. The dissolution test was carried out in a distilled water medium, and the release model equation was applied to analyze the vitamin C release pattern. The results demonstrated that the release and lasting power of vitamin C tablets, containing HPMC, lasted for more than 12 h.

In the fermentation of Yulmoo Mulkimchi, various ratios of Yulmoo to water (l/l.14, l/l.5, 1/2, l/2.75, 1/4) were prepared and fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$, 25$^{\circ}C$ for up to 10 days. According to the fermentation time, the pH, acidity, total vitamin C content and microbial growth in Mulkimchi samples were determined together with sensory evaluation. Fermentation temperature on water addition ratio didn't show any difference in pH and microbial growth of Mulkimchi. However, low ratio of water resulted in high acidity and vitamin C content in Mulkimchi. In terms of acid odor and acid taste, the least water addition (l/l.4) sample was significantly strong than those of other samples. The ratio of Yulmoo to water, l/2 showed the highest overall sensorial acceptability and followed by l/l.5, l/l.4, l/2.75 and 1/4 samples. It was found that the content of vitamin C and acid taste of Mulkimchi have correlation with its acceptability.
