The purpose of this study was to determine the most desirable mixture ratio of apricot powder to rice flour for the preparation of apricot Sulgidduk (Sulgidduk containing apricot powder). The moisture contents of the samples ranged from 38% to 42%. The L-value decreased, while the a- and b-values increased, with increasing amounts of added apricot powder. In the mechanical evaluation of the physical properties, we found that the hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness decreased with increasing apricot powder content. And in addition, throughout the storage period, gumminess and chewiness decreased. Based on the sensory evaluations, the apricot power intensified the color, flavor, sweetness and sourness of the Sulgidduk. The sample containing 12% apricot powder had the highest moistness, chewiness however, but the overall-acceptability scores of the sample containing 6% apricot powder had were the highest. Consequently, the addition of 6% apricot powder to the rice flour was determined to be the best formula for apricot Sulgidduk in terms of the sensory qualities such as softness, moistness, chewiness and overall-acceptability.

The effects of Japanese apricot(Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) flesh on baking properties of white breads were investigated by evaluation of specific loaf volume, pH, acidity, rheological property, color and sensory quality. Bread was processed by adding 4.7%, 9.4%, 14.1% and 18.8% of Japanese apricot flesh to basic formulation. The compositions of Japanese apricot flesh were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.10% dietary fiber, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The specific loaf volume of the breads was decreased from 3.274mL/g to 1.857mL/g as Japanese apricot flesh contents increased from 0% to 18.8%. The pH of the breads decreased but the acidity of those increased as the percentage of Japanese apricot flesh to wheat flour increased. Lightness(L value) of the breads decreased by the addition of Japanese apricot flesh, while yellowness(b value) and redness(a value) increased. Texture measurement showed that springiness, cohesiveness and resilience decreased with increase of Japanese apricot flesh contents. While, hardness, gumminess and chewiness were the lowest in the bread with 9.4% Japanese apricot flesh, and increased in the bread with 4.7%, 14.1% and 18.8% Japanese apricot flesh contents. In sensory evaluation, the highest sensory scores for flavor, taste, aftertaste and overall acceptability were obtained when Japanese apricot flesh content was 4.7%, and softness and chewiness was the best when 9.4% of Japanese apricot flesh was added. The moisture content of the breads containing Japanese apricot flesh was higher than that of the control to add no flesh during storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Based on physical, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 4.7{\sim}9.4% Japanese apricot flesh suggested to be acceptable for processing bread.

The quality characteristics were measured, using sensory evaluation and mechanical characteristics, for the addition of different percentages of apricot juice(0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) to rice flour, in order to promote the use of and liking for the traditional Korean rice cakes. The pH was decreased with apricot juice addition, while acid was increased. The moisture contents were 36.2${\sim}$45.0% . The L-value was decreased with increasing apricot juice addition, while a- and b-values were increased. In mechanical texture characteristics, hardness, gumminess and brittleness were the highest at the 10% apricot juice level(p<.001). Springiness was also the highest at 10% level but the difference was not significant. In the sensory evaluation, the color, flavor, sourness, hardness and chewiness were increased with apricot juice addition. Apricot sulgidduk made with the addition of 10% apricot juice to rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of acceptability, flavor quality, taste quality, and overall quality and there was a significant difference between the samples. The springiness was negatively correlated with the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness while moistness was positively correlated with moisture, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness.

Brown rot symptoms severely occurred on fruits of apricot and mume grown in Changnyeong, Suwon and Yeongi in Korea during a disease survey in June 2002. A total of 32 isolates of Phomopsis sp. was obtained from the fruit rot symptoms. All isolates were identified as Phomopsis vexans based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Four isolates of the fungus were tested for pathogenicity to fruits of apricot and mume by artificial inoculation. All isolates induced brown rot symptoms on the fruits of apricot and mume by wound inoculation. Unwounded inoculation also induced symptoms on mume fruits but not on apricot fruits. The symptoms on the fruits induced by artificial inoculation were similar to those observed in the orchard. The pathogenicity tests revealed that mume was more susceptible to the pathogen than apricot. This is the first report of brown rot of apricot and mume caused by P. vexans.
