We used pears to manufacture wine, and analyzed changes in pH, acidity and ethanol and sugar content during fermentation. Pear wine with added ginger (to improve quality) did not differ from ginger-free wine in pH or acidity level. The ethanol content of pear wine was the highest (13.0%, v/v) inpear wine with 0.1% (w/v) added ginger compared to pear wine with no ginger, and sensory tests examining taste and color yielded the highest scores for pear wine with 0.2% (w/v) ginger. To assess storage stability, pear wine was treated for 30 minutes at $55^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, $65^{\circ}C$, or $70^{\circ}C$. Unheated pear wine showed rapid changes in pH and acidity level after 30 days of storage, whereas pear wine treated for 30 minutes at $60^{\circ}C$ did not show such changes. Total organic acid levels in pear wine increased by 0.71% and 0.89% (v/v), respectively. The free sugar level in pear wine decreased from 12.05% to 3.13% (w/v). Turning to phenolic compounds, caffeic acid, catechin, and epicatechin contents in pears were 1.64, 1.40, and 0.23 mg/100mL, respectively, with diverse compositions. Caffeic acid levels in pear wine decreased sharply to 0.12 mg/100 mL upon fermentation, whereas free catechin inpear wine increased to 1.16 mg/100 mL compared with 0.28 mg/100 mL in pears. Free arbutin increased from 8.34 mg/100 mL in pears to 10.39 mg/100 mL in pear wine. The free amino acid content of pear wine was 118.5 g/100 mL, but the levels of serine, alanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid decreased sharply upon fermentation, with corresponding increases in tyrosine, GABA, lysine, and arginine.

For the production of Yakhobak (Cucurbita maxima subsp. maxima) paste under various heating conditions, we steamed Yakhobak for roughly 20 min, followed by heating under high pressure treatment for 0 min (HHP0), 20 min (HHP20), 40 min (HHP40), and 60 min (HHP60). The physicochemical and sensory characteristics were subsequently investigated. Generally, no significant difference was observed in organic acid content and sensory characteristics score between Yakhobak paste treated with and without high-pressure heating. However, there was a significant difference in color value, soluble solids, and free sugar content. The L value for color of the group HHP0, untreated control Yakhobak paste (no high-pressure heating), decreased as time increased from 20 min to 60 min, with L values of 44.33, 44.25, and 42.86, respectively. The b value for the color of Yakhobak paste also decreased, showing a significant difference. Soluble solids and free sugar (fructose, glucose, sucrose) contents of the high-pressure heat-treated groups HHP20, HHP40, and HHP60 decreased compared with untreated group HHP0. Organic acid composition of Yakhobak paste included citric acid, malic acid, and fumaric acid, and the major organic acid was malic acid. Sensory score of HHP40 was the highest among all experimental groups in terms of overall preference, but there was no significant difference.

Yakju, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, is made from rice and Nuruk. In this study, the fermentation characteristics of Yakju was investigated using rice and rice starch. Ingredients was classified into raw material (rice, rice starch) and starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk, and yellow rice koji) for fermentation. The crude protein content of rice, rice starch, and starter were determined as follows (%): rice 6.69, rice starch 0.44, enzyme supplements 7.84, modified Nuruk 15.29, traditional Nuruk 14.28, and yellow rice koji 7.28. The alcohol content of rice with traditional Nuruk ($20.13{\pm}0.12%$) was higher than other Yakju. The concentration of organic acids of rice starch-based Yakju (389.83~538.34 mg%) was higher than that of rice Yakju (259.27~357.70 mg%). The concentration of nitrogen compound of rice Yakju (498.38~5976.93 ppm) was higher than that of rice starch-based Yakju (600.43~4463.79 ppm). In line with these findings, further studies will be necessary for the quality analysis of the rice, rice starch and fermented starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk and yellow rice koji).

Packaging has played important function on marketing as a silent salesman. As an interface of consumer and products, packaging fulfills several functions such as protection, sales promotion, communication and convenience during the distribution process. For the appearance of self-service sales method, packaging could be regarded as important salesman influencing consumers' preference on shelf in the shop. In this study, Vitamin water was selected as the proper target product for lower impact of prices and brands. With previous studies, Vitamin water packaging elements were classified as 'packaging material', 'packaging shape', 'label color', 'logo layout', then each packaging element was consist of details. To measure the influence of each packaging element on consumers' preference quantitatively and to minimize respondent's subjective judgment, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as a tool. Through AHP result, packaging element of the most influence on consumers' preference is 'label color (0.370)', and 'container shape (0.246)', 'container material (0.230)', 'logo layout (0.154)' was in order. Among the detail packaging element, 'plastic (0.405)' has the greatest influence in 'container material' and 'cylinder (0.423)' in 'container shape', 'magenta (0.329)' in 'label color', 'vertical layout (0.572)' in 'logo layout'.

Bread was prepared with different concentrations of Pleurotus eryngii powder ($2.5{\sim}10.0%$), and the fermentation characteristics were investigated. While pH of dough increased, fermentation power of dough expansion by fermentation decreased with the increase of Pleurotus eryngii powder added. Although bread weight decreased, there were no significant differences in dough weight, dough yield and baking loss as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of volume and specific volume, they were significantly decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Size of bread decreased gradually and aircell uniformity became bigger and random as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. As the results of color values, L and b values of crust decreased; however, there was no significant difference in a value. L value of crumb decreased although a and b values increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content. In the textual characteristics, hardness, gumminess and brittleness of bread significantly increased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of free amino acid, Glu content was the largest in most samples and most amino acid contents increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content except for Asp. In descriptive test, scores of color, flavor, hardness and palatability increased, however aircell uniformity, springiness and moistness decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased.

We introduce a method of rendering a scene lying 3D objects which is like that artist draw on a canvas by brushing. Painting is the art area presenting something created by color and line on 2D plane. We are brushing on billboards on screen space for the 2D brushing effect according to the definition of "Painting". Brushing orientation is haven to rotate for preventing the orientation in the first scene in the case that object or camera are moving. If the brushing isn't rotated, shower-door effect is watched on the scene as undesirable result We present a brushing rotating method for keeping the orientation changing the direction of view and object rigid animation. The brushing direction is computed with Horn's 2D similarity transform by least-square solution. We watched the changing brushing to track the motion of object and view.

Pine needle powder has medical and functional uses. In this study, cookies were prepared using different 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5% of pine needle powder. The total phenolic content was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH assay. The antioxidant activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic composition of pine needle cookies (r=0.989). In addition, the quality characteristics of the pine needle cookies were estimated based on the bulk density and pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. The bulk density of the dough and the hardness, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing pine needle powder, while the pH of the dough, spread factor and L values of the cookies decreased with increasing pine needle powder content (p<0.05). Additionally, the consumer acceptability scores for the 3% pine needle cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups in appearance, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that pine needle powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen and can be formed during frying of starchy foods. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of acrylamide reduction in storage potato chips by fermentation of Bacillus subtilis and compare its usefulness with four different cultivars of storage potatoes (Goeun, Atlantic, Saebong, and Jinsun). Potato slices were fermented by B. subtilis at $37^{\circ}C$ for 0, 2, and 4 h and fried at $180^{\circ}C$ for 115 s. The total sugar contents of the fermented potato slices did not change compared to the control. However, reducing sugar contents increased in the fermentation solution containing potato slices. Asparagine contents of Saebong and Jinsun potato slices decreased with fermentation time. Color values of the fermented potato chips were improved compared to those of non-fermented potato chips. The highest $L^*$ value was found in Saebong (57.4), followed by Goeun (56.7), Jinsun (52.5), and Atlantic (48.8) after 4 h of fermentation. Potatoes stored for 240 days generated considerable amounts of acrylamide, ranging from 4.99 to 10.38 ppm, after frying. Four hours of fermentation reduced acrylamide formation in all potato chips. The lowest acrylamide content was found in Saebong (0.77 ppm), followed by Jinsun (1.21 ppm), Goeun (1.76 ppm), and Atlantic (4.09 ppm). In conclusion, fermentation of storage potatoes by B. subtilis can effectively lower acrylamide formation during frying of potato chips.

To prepare useful foods from Acanthopanax koreanum, extraction of major constituents by water and ethanol solutions were investigated Reflux extractions of 300 g of dried material of particle size less than 0.5 cm, were carried out in 7.5 L of water, or ethanol solutions (30 -95% v/v) for 9 hr at $100^{\circ}C$. The pH values of extracted solutions were 4.0-6.5. The Color b-value of extracted solutions increased as ethanol concentrations dropped and with longer extraction times. The amounts of material in extracts increased rapidly in the first 2-3 hr of extraction. The extract levels from 30-70% ethanol solutions were 0.27-0.47 g/100 g. The main free sugars of extract were sucrose, fructose and glucose. Eleutherosides were extracted rapidly (within 3 hr), and eleutheroside extraction was best in water or in 30-70% ethanol 95% ethanol solutions were less effective. The eleutherosides were extracted to 97% by water or 30-70% ethanol solutions after 3-5 hr. Acanthoic acid extraction was more affected by ethanol level than by extraction time water achieved only trace extinction. In summary, reflux extraction in 40-70% ethanol for 3-5 hr was adequate for the extraction of functional materials from Acanthopanax koreanum.

The characteristics of the narirutin-added alcohol fermentation of citrus hydrolysates were investigated to produce functionally improved citrus wine. The pH of narirutin-added citrus wine ranged from 3.38 to 3.51, and the titratable acidity was about 0.55% which show no significant differences attributable to the narirutin quantity. With regard to the color and brown color, with the addition of more narirutin, the a value was decreased while the b value and brown color increased. The sugar content decreased from 24 to 8.0-8.5 $^{\circ}Brix$ after alcohol fermentation, and the alcohol content appeared to be between 14.5 and 14.6% in all the sections. For the free sugar contents, the glucose and fructose contents were relatively high in every section. For the total polyphenol content, it was shown to increase when more narirutin was added. and the 2%-narirutin-added section showed the highest polyphenol content(46.44 mg%). The results of sensory evaluation were that the color, flavor and bitterness increased while the sweetness and overall acceptability were reduced by the additional narirutin. Functionally improved citrus wine can be produced by using narirutin, but more researches regarding quality improvement should be carried out to overcome the bitterness.
