In this research, we targeted to see if there was difference of shelf$.$lives of two different species cucumber. We pickled domestic and exporting cucumber to make comparison while they were fermented and stored. As for the domestic cucumber we choose CHICHEONG and for the exporting cucumber we choose special BAEKSEONG and SHARP 1. We blanched them and soaked them into hot saline water for 8 hours. Two kinds of Cucumber Kimchi were at room temperature for first day and 5'c from 2nd to 28th day. It was found, from the results, that all of samples of pH reached at 3.5 $\pm$ 0.1 on the 14th day of fermentation. The titratable acidity of the control increased on 14th day of fermentation, which was bit late than change of others. The reducing sugar contents of the control did not decrease until 7th day of fermentation while reducing sugar contents of others decreased gradually from the beginning. The patterns of Microfloral changes of two kinds of Cucumber Kimchi were similar during fermentation period. The number of total cell increased up to 14th day, similary the numbers of lactic acid bacteria increased up to 14th day then barely decreased. The hardness of the control was bit higher than others when it was measured on 14th day of fermentation. The sensory evaluation of Cucumber Kimchi with different species showed that both species had siginificant high negative scores in green color and crispness when those were compared between fermentation time and samples.

In order to determine the quality of Citrus unshiu(medium cultivar of satsuma mandarin) produced in Cheju, citrus fruits sampled at sorting places and harvested directly on citrus tree in south and north area of Cheju were analyzed. The fruits were grown in size till early of November, and soluble solids were increased continuously after that. Compared with the quality of citrus fruits as a factor of soluble solids, firmness, total sugar, pH, and color index, the optimum harvest periods were supposed to be reasonable from early of December for C. unshiu Marc. var. yonezawa and C. unshiu Marc. var. hayashi, Fruit weights and peel thickness had a linear correlation with increasing fruit size, but soluble solids and acid contents had not a correlation. The selection of C. unshiu variety was needed to determine by the properties of storage.

A type of Korean traditional cookies, yackwa is composed of ingredients which serve as good medicine to people. Further, it has a priceless value and possibility to be a healthy functional dessert. For this study, we developed variable yackwa, containing red-ginseng powder and green tea powder, in order to target the foreign market as well as to investigate the perception and preference of yackwa. The test sample for the control group, yackwa is made of flour, sugar, baking powder, sesame oil and alcohol. For the experimental group, yackwa contains red-ginseng and green tea powder (3, 6, 9, 12%). The investigation period was May 14th, 2013 and the total number of participants was 100. The investigation applied a consumer survey method by filling out a questionnaire while tasting 9 kinds of yackwa samples. They were used for frequency, one-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation analysis with SPSS 19.0. In the yackwa perception survey, the result indicated that 52.0% of the customers replied 'Do not know well' and 'Do not know at all' which conveys that the perception of yackwa is very low. In contrast, the perception of the red-ginseng and green tea which are functional ingredients is high and the customers tend to prefer the taste and flavor of green tea than red-ginseng. And they prefer the yackwa containing 3% of red-ginseng and green tea powder compared to other ratio contents in the overall preference, color, taste, flavor, odor, degree of greasiness and texture. When people who have a higher perception of yackwa, they tended to prefer the color of red-ginseng yackwa and dislike the color of green tea yackwa. And the more people prefer the taste of green tea, the higher in overall preference, color, taste, flavor, and odor preference.

Coloring agents in food materials plays important roles in the development of attractive products as well as in the functionality of food such as antioxidant or vitamin supplementation. Carrot has been used as an orange coloring agent in the decoration of food but also a major source of vitamin A complex. Though orange has been considered a typical color of carrot, the Rainbow carrot has been developed recently, which exhibit the various colors such as red, pale yellow, purple, orange or their mixtures. After categorization onto 8 groups by their colors, vitamin A complex (${\beta}$-carotene, lycopene and lutein) and soluble sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) have been analyzed in carrots. The ${\beta}$-carotene was abundant in the groups of orange (Group-O) or groups with the orange color (group-OP, and group-YOP). The content of lycopene content was exclusively high in the red color carrot (group-R). The highest lutein contents were observed from the yellow-purple (group-YP) group. Meanwhile, little amounts of lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene were observed in yellow-purple (group-YP) nor yellow (group-Y) on yellow (group-Y). Among the reducing sugars in 'rainbow carrots', the amount of sucrose was two times higher than those of fructose and glucose. However, the content of glucose, fructose and sucrose as well as the total reducing sugars did not differ between color groups suggesting little variations on their tastes.

In this study, the validity of extracts from food waste as biocatalyst for indigo reduction was examined. Dried food wastes such as apple peel and corn waste were water-extracted and freeze-dried. The reducing power of extracts for indigo was evaluated by the oxidation-reduction potential(ORP) measurement of reduction bath and color strength(K/S value) of the fabrics dyed in the indigo reduction bath. Total sugar contents of the apple peel and corn waste extracts were 60.56% and 62.36%, respectively. Antioxidant activity was 64.78% for the extract of apple peel and 7.96% for the extract of corn waste. Indigo reduction took place quickly with both extracts, and maximum color strength was obtained up to 15.91 and 12.11 within 1-3 days, respectively. The oxidation-reduction potential of reduction bath was stabilized in the range of -500 ~ -620 mV according to the kinds of food waste and the extract concentration. At higher concentration of the extracts, reduction power was maintained for longer time and stronger color strength was obtained. Compared to sodium dithionite, the reducing power of the studied extracts was lower, but the reduction stability was superior to it. The studied extracts were effective biocatalyst as biodegradable and safe alternatives to sodium dithionite for indigo reduction.

Oddi is a mulberry (Morus alba L) fruit which has antiinflammatory and antioxidative effects. This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of Oddi-Pyun which was manufactured with various addition levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4％) of Oddi extract according to the traditional Korean Kwaypun (a kind of jelly) methodology. Oddi-Pyun was made with various levels of Oddi extract, mungbean starch (9％) and sugar (30％). To establish the additional amount of mulberry fruit extract, sensory evaluation and physical test were carried out. From the results of sensory evaluation, the 2％ of Oddi-Pyun was judged as the best in terms of color, flavor, hardness and elasticity. According to texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness), 1.0％ and 2.0％ of Oddi-Pyun were judged as the best. The contents of Ca (69.50, 74.75, 84.25, 100.60, 183.55ppm), Mg(27.37, 29.38, 34.20, 46.73, 97.45ppm) and Fe (320.23, 572.45, 680.50, 725.95, 906.50ppb) increased with increasing Oddi extract. Therefore, the optimal added amount of extract for the manufacture of Oddi-Pyun was proposed as 2％ to the total weight. It was concluded that this Oddi-Pyun would be helpful to improve the health status of rheumatics and patients with similar diseases.

The purpose of this study was to propose optimal mixing proportion by adding stevia in powder form, which are low caloric and high intensity sweetener to cookies, and to determine the characteristic of product. It reduced the average sugar content of cookies to 50%, processed stevia powder, add them in 2, 4, 6, and 8% to make cookies and measured various product characteristics, including anti-oxidant activity. The antioxidant activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic composition of stevia cookies (r=0.967). Total phenolic contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing stevia powder. The bulk density of the dough, spread factor and the hardness, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing stevia powder, while the pH of the dough, and L values of the cookies decreased with increasing stevia powder content (p<0.001). Additionally, the consumer acceptability scores for the 4% stevia cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.001) higher than those of the other groups in color, taste, flavor, sweetness and overall preference. All the take together, the results of this study suggest that stevia powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.
