This study was conducted to analyze nutrient composition of a genetically modified $\beta$-carotene biofortified rice (GM rice), developed by the Rural Development Admistration in Korea. The nutritional constituents of GM rice were compared with those of the parental rice cultivar 'Nakdong' as a non-GM control to access nutritional equivalence. Proximate components (moisture, starch, protein, lipid, and ash) of the GM rice were similar to those of the conventional non-GM rice. $\beta$-Carotene contents of GM brown and milled rice were 2.35, 2.03 ${\mu}g/g$(d.b.), respectively. There were no significant differences between the GM and non-GM rice with respect to most of their nutrient composition, despite minor differences in most amino acids and minerals. This result demonstrated that the nutritional composition of this GM rice would be equivalent to that of the parental non-GM rice without major changes in its chemical contents.

Raw pine-mushrooms (Tricholoma matsutake Sing.) of four grades and those frozen were analyzed for proximate composition, smell pattern, volatile flavor compounds, and sensory evaluation. Proximate compositions of raw pine-mushrooms (A-C, regular grade) were $89.48{\sim}90.77%$ moisture, 6.81% ash excluding D (below regular grade) sample, $2.24{\sim}2.52%$ crude lipid, and $16.19{\sim}20.01%$ crude protein. Proximate compositions of frozen pine-mushrooms preserved for 6 months at -20 and $-70^{\circ}C$ showed no difference compared with raw pine-mushrooms. Results of smell pattern and multidimensional analysis revealed raw pine-mushrooms showed no differences among samples, but frozen pine-mushrooms differed significantly depending on the grade. Volatile flavor compounds of pine-mushrooms were analyzed using a purge and trap method with GC/MSD. Twenty-nine volatile compounds were identified, among which alcohols such as 1-octen-3-ol, 2-octen-1-ol, 3-methyl-butanol, and n-octanol were commonly found in all pine-mushroom samples. In sensory attributes, raw pine-mushrooms were not significantly different at 5% level, and sample D of frozen pine-mushrooms scored lower than samples $A{\sim}C$.

Oder-active compounds are complex in a sample. These compounds are usually analyzed by GC or GC/MSD while such analytical measurement can quantify specific volatile organic compounds, it has limitations in identifying odor-active compounds. To resolve this problem, GC-Sniffing or GC-Olfactometry method has been attempted. In this study, GC/FID/Olfactometry system was developed. This system can simultaneously sniff and detect GC effluents by traditional GC combined with human olfactory system. The time gap between FID and ODP response was dependent on the kinds and concentrations of chemicals and panels, with more volatile, stronger and shorten breath cycle panel showing narrow time gap. Thus, clear relationship between FID and ODP should be considered to identify the odor-active compounds.

Proximate compositions, minerals and protein fractions of the roots of cultured and wild Codonopsis lanceolata of different age groups were examined as the basic research for the study of their source of processed foods. The most abundant proximate composition of the roots of C. lanceolata was observed to be total sugars and next come crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and ash in descending order irrespective of cultured and wild ones. The richest mineral contained in the roots was noticed to be K and followed by Mg and Ca. Generally increased tendency of crude protein, fat, ash, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Zn, Cu and P contents were observed with older roots, however, decreased total sugars and Fe content. Lead and cadmium content was far bellow the authorized tolerance limits. The quantitative fractionation of the protein of the roots ranked albumin the highest content, followed by globuin, prolamin and glutelin. Decreased albumin content was observed with the older age roots, while increased globulin, prolamin and glutelin content. The minimum solubility of the soluble protein of the roots was found to be at pH 4.0 and maximum, at pH 10.0. Disc gel electrophoresis of the soluble protein of C. lanceolata roots showed almost similar patterns and numbers of bands. The molecular weight for main band protein was estimated to be about 90,000.

This study compared the major chemical components of Angelica gigas of Korea, A. acutiloba of Japan, and A. sinensis of China. A. gigas had the highest crude fat level, A. acutiloba the highest moisture content, and A. sinensis the greatest crude protein level. The main free sugar was fructose in three species. Total amino acid contents of A. gigas, A. acutiloba and A. sinensis were 4,178.64 mg%, 2,952.10 mg%, and 3,367.13 mg%, respectively. Although amino acid compositions of the three species were different, arginine, proline and lysine were the major amino acids in all species. The main saturated fatty acid was caproic acid in A. gigas and palmitic acid in A. acutiloba and A. sinensis. Linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and oleic acid were the main unsaturated fatty acid in all three species. Oxalic acid was the major organic acid in the three species. Vitamin A contents of A. gigas, A. acutiloba, and A. sinensis were 5.10 mg%, 6.32 mg%, and 6.11 mg%, respectively. However, vitamin E was detected only in A. gigas, at 0.47 mg%.. The mineral contents of the three species were (in order of concentration) K, Mg, Fe, and Na.

This study was conducted to investigate the nutrient components and physicochemical properties of general ('Superior') and colored potato. Proximate composition, reducing sugar, free sugars, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals were analyzed, and Hunter color values were measured in the study. 'Rose' and 'Blue' (colored potatoes) contained high levels of reducing sugar, and total free sugar content was greatly different according to varieties. Glutamic acid, arginine and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid were detected to be the three major amino acids in colored potato, and the major organic acids of general potato were oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and citric acid. All potato contained high level of potassium, calcium and magnesium. The Hunter 'L' value was the highest in 'Jaseo'; Hunter 'a' value was high in 'Blue' and 'Jasim'; Hunter 'b' value was the highest in 'Haryoung'. Overall, colored potato had higher amount of nutrients and physicochemical properties than 'Superior'. Therefore, colored potatoes are expected to be highly valuable items for the development and applications of a functional food. In addition, these results will provide fundamental data for improving sitological value, breeding of new cultivar and promoting of roughage usage.

This study was performed to reduce unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume as well as to improve utilization as functional food materials using fermentation. The component, antioxidant activity, and taste test were compared between fresh and fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (FGP). FGP contained higher level of total fat, protein, mineral, and fiber than raw material. The pH of FGP was higher compared to raw $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (RGP), and antioxidant activity was as high as vitamin C regardless material status (raw vs. fermented). This result indicated that its activity was not decreased by fermentation. Dispersiveness and solubility of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder was the best in 60-70 mesh. For sensory evaluation, FGP or RGP was mixed with either orange juice or yoghurt. The results showed that overall preference, taste, flavor, texture, and color were better in fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume drinks than in raw ones. It is plausible that unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume was declined by fermentation. Thus, fermentation can be easily applied to eliminate unpleasant smell in $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume, and FGP can be mixed with other beverages to produce healthy food and drinks.

일반적으로 3상 PWM AC/DC 컨버터는 정상상태 에러 제거 및 빠른 과도응답 특성을 얻기 위해 동기 좌표계상으로 모델링하여 제어한다. 그러나 이와 같은 제어기는 입력전압이 평형일 경우를 전제조건으로 하므로, 입력전원이 불평형인 경우 입력전류와 출력전압에 고조파 성분이 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전원전압을 동기좌표계상의 정/역상 분으로 분석한 후 두 축(D, Q)의 역기전력 보상성분을 전원전압의 상태에 따라 적절하게 가변하고, 무효 전력과 고조파 전력 성분을 선택적으로 제거함으로써 입출력 시스템의 역률 및 고조파 성분을 효과적으로 보상하기 위한 간단하면서도 효과적인 제어기법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

Breads were prepared with the addition of sprouted brown rice flour(SBRF) as a funtional ingredient up to 50%, and their quality characteristics were evaluated through analyses of proximate composition amino acid by HPLC, fatty acid by GC, and sensory evaluation. The optimum amount of SBRF for bread preparation was 30%(w/w). The more SBRF was added, the greater the proximate components such as ash, crude protein, crude fat, fiber and amino acid content were, although the baking quality such as volume decreased. The results of sensory evaluation for bread showed that the more SBRF was added, the lower the scores of color, appearance. texture and the feelings in the mouth were, but the higher the score of taste.
