This study investigated the alcohol fermentation characteristics of citrus hydrolysate by adding various sugars(sucrose, honey, fructose and fructooligosaccharide). As a result, the alcohol content was shown to be similar among all the sugars. Fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected as a major free sugar. In particular, the contents of fructose and glucose were shown to be higher in sucrose addition, lactic, citric and malic acids were detected as major organic acids of citrus wine. When the sensory characteristics of citrus wines were compared, flavor was shown to have a sensory score of 5.1 in sucrose addition, showing the most preference. However, no significant difference in preference was found among the sugars. Color, taste and overall acceptability were shown to have the most preference in sucrose addition, and then in honey, fructose, and fructooligosaccharide in order. Therefore, a further study on the improvement of quality and sensory preference using aging process and complex sugars is required.

In this study, the quality characteristics of different drying methods of Aronia melanocarpa, which contains large amounts of bioactive substances, were investigated for the improvement of their practical use. During the drying period, the weight reduction was the highest with vacuum freeze drying (81.6%). The water content was reduced to the maximum level when vacuum freeze-drying was used. With regard to the color value measurement results, there were no significant differences in the $L^*$ value. Values of $a^*$ and $b^*$ were increased in vacuum freeze drying and cold air drying, but decreased in hot air drying. The hardness was increased dramatically after 36 hours of hot air drying, while with cold air drying, it increased slowly until 132 hr and increased rapidly after 132 hr. The dried yield was the highest with cold air drying (24.2%). As for the general component analysis results of Aronia melanocarpa, the moisture content was the lowest, and the crude protein and crude fat contents were the highest with vacuum freeze drying. No difference in pH value was shown among the dried Aronia melanocarpa obtained from the different drying methods, but the sugar content was the highest with vacuum freeze drying. The mineral content was the highest with cold air drying, and K, Ca, Mg, and Na were the major minerals. The free sugar content of dried Aronia melanocarpa was found to be 5.92~20.59 g/100 g, and the highest free sugar content was found with vaccum freeze drying.

The objective of this study was to develop peach Makphyun, a kind of rice cake, added with peach and Makgeolli. The effects of peach paste (0, 5, 10, or 20%) on quality characteristics of Makphyun were evaluated during storage at $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. As the concentration of peach paste increased, pH decreased and acidity increased. Reducing sugar contents (%) increased with the amount of peach paste. Hunter color b (yellowness) value of rice cake increased with increasing amount of peach paste, whereas L (lightness) and a (redness) values decreased. Contents of total phenols increased with increasing amount of peach paste. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of peach Makphyun decreased with increasing amount of peach paste. The sensory evaluation results showed that overall preference of Makphyun containing peach paste content of 20% is higher than other groups.

Effects of isomaltooligosaccharides on the characteristics of yackwa were investigated. Yackwa was prepared by replacing honey with 0, 25, 50% isomoltooligosaccharide. Isomaltooligosaccharide decreased reducing sugar contents and increased crude fat contents of yackwa. The exterior color of yackwa prepared with isomoltooligosaccharide showed lighter, less reddish and yellowish. Addition of isomaltooligosaccharides made yackwa lighter, rougher, more brittle and softer as perceived by panels. Yackwa prepared by replacing honey with 25% isomaltooligosaccharide showed good acceptability. The acceptability was significantly correlated with hardness, aroma and greasiness. The textural characteristics including hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess were decreased by replacing honey with isomaltooligosaccharide.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Baeksulgi (BS) and Sulgidduk added with Makgeolli (MS, BS+ Makgeolli) during storage at $20{\pm}2$ for 3 days. Moisture contents of MS were significantly higher than those of BS during storage. Reducing sugar contents (%) were higher in MS. The pH values were 6.23 and 5.93, for BS and MS, respectively. The pH of MS was lower and thus indicated higher in acidity. The Hunter color L (lightness) and a (redness) values were higher for BS, whereas b (yellowness) value of MS was lower. In the texture analysis, hardness and chewiness of MS were found to be lower, whereas springiness, gumminess, and resilience were higher than those of MS. According to DSC (Differential scanning calorimeter) analysis, enthalpy of MS appeared to be lower than that of BS during storage, which suggests retrogradation of MS was delayed. The total phenol content was higher in MS. The $IC_{50}$ value of DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was lower in MS, which means antioxidant activity increased in MS. Results of the preference test showed that appearance, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability of MS scored higher than those of BS. From these results, high quality of MS was derived from Makgeolli addition.

This study examined the physiochemical and organoleptic properties of the yanggaeng fabricated with different contents of ginger powder. The moisture contents ranged between 39.85% and 47.92%. The yanggaeng made with 0.5 g of ginger powder showed the lowest moisture content of 37.04%, whereas the yanggaeng made with 1.5 g of ginger powder showed the highest moisture content of 47.92%. As for the L value, which indicates lightuess, the yanggaeng made with 1.5 g of ginger powder showed a L value of 13.92, whereas the yanggaeng made with 0.5 g showed the lowest L value of 12.35, (p<0.05). The values for redness (a value) ranged between 4.69 and 5.58, and there was no significant difference as the content of ginger powder increased. The value for yellowness, (b value) ranged between 3.19 and 2.33, and showed a significant decreasing trend as the ginger powder content increased (p<0.05). The sugar concentrations were 53.82~46.56, and decreased as the ginger content increased. The pH ranged between 6.42~6.52, and showed significant differences. As the ginger content increased, changes in hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness, were all significant (p<0.05). Characteristics of cohesiveness and springiness, showed no significant differences. Although there were no significant differences in color, flavor, chewiness, and hardness, there was a decreasing flavor preference as the content of ginger powder increased. There were significant differences in sweetness, moistness, and overall-preference (p<0.05). For overall-preference, the yanggaeng with 1.0 g of added ginger powder showed a high preference level. The study results implied that ginger powder may be used in fabricating yanggaeng. and a 0.5% content of added ginger powder will improve the preference level.
