This study examined the quality change of red peppers during storage at various temperatures and humidities. It was observed that red peppers showed mold at aw 0.75(>25% water content), discoloration at aw 0.33(<10%) and browning at aw 0.75(>19%). The most ideal condition of the storage for red peppers was a 13∼15% water content and 60${\pm}$5% RH. The storage life for whole red peppers were 2.0 months at 40$^{\circ}C$, 13.6 months at 25$^{\circ}C$, 27.3 months at 15$^{\circ}C$, 30.0 months at 10$^{\circ}C$, and 65.0 months at -3$^{\circ}C$. During any storage period above, level of capsanthin, browning and capsaicin were changed for whole peppers. Browning appeared to be a crucial factor for marketable quality of stored red peppers. It was found that the level of capsaicin & capsanthin have a miner relationship with marketable quality for consumer. Storing red peppers in nitrogen and vacuum atmosphere packing condition was found to be better than storing them in air at various temperatures in terms of storage life and quality maintenance. The nitrogen gas packaged red peppers kept longer shelf life and better quality compared with vacuum packaging.

Two types of fiat-plate collector were designed and constructed for utilizing the solar energy as heating source of red pepper drying. It was performed to investigate the basic factors on using the collectors and the drying effect on various types of red pepper, and the results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The optimum tilted angles of the collector in Daejeon area were ${\phi}-15^{\circ}$ in summer season and ${\phi}+15^{\circ}$ in winter season when it was adjusted two times per a year: 2. In the conditions during experiment period, average atmospheric temperature and relative humidity were $25.6^{\circ}C$ and 52.6%, respectively, and $42.0^{\circ}C$, 74.2% in the control chamber. The temperature in the drying chamber connected to the water heater was the highest but relative humidity in the chamber connected to the air heater was the lowest among the chambers. 3. The drying velocity of whole red pepper in the chamber connected to the water heater was the fastest as 2.3 times as compared to the whole type on the mat drying followed by air heater and control in decreasing order. The horizontally cut red pepper in the chamber connected to the water heater was dried exceedingly fast among twelve plots. 4. The content of capsaicine as pungent principle and of capsanthine as red pigment in the red pepper were reduced during drying but there were no differences significantly on the drying method, and it could not affect much on the quality of dried product.

Radish kimchi is a typical side-dish in Korean traditional food and is a way of keeping vegetables for a extended period using fermentation. This study examined the classification, usage, eating history, variety, and recipes of Korean radish kimchi through ancient and modern era literature. The Korean radish kimchi were categorized into six groups: kkakttugi, seokbakji (or nabakkimchi), dongchimi, jjanji, jangachi, and jangkwa. According to the record, the eating history of radish kimchi comes from before the age of the Three Kingdom period. Radish was preserved in salt, vinegar, soybean paste or lees of fermented liquor in the early times. This pickled radish was not supposed to be watery. Radish kimchi was divided into watery kimchi (dongchimi) during the period of United Silla and the Koryo Dynasty. Kimchi was mixed with Chinese cabbage to make seokbakji or nabakkimchi. Up to the early Chosun Dynasty, the key ingredient of kimchi was radish. After the middle of the Chosun Dynasty, kimchi was mixed with red pepper powder, salted fish, soybean sauce, and various ingredients. There were many kinds of radish kimchi during the late Chosun Dynasty. In the 11 Korean recipe books published within the past 100 years, there are nine kinds of kkakttugi, three kinds of seokbakji, four kinds of dongchimi, three kinds of jjanji, nine kinds of jangachi, and five kinds of jangkwa. Kkakttugi (cubed, sliced or julienne radish) was pickled with salt, red pepper powder, garlic, green onion, oyster, sugar, salted fish, and more. Seokbakji and nabakkimchi were not as salty, so they could not be preserved as long. Dongchimi (watery radish kimchi without red pepper powder) was made of radish, water, salt, 18 side ingredients, 13 condiments, and seven garnishes. Jjanji was pickled to be very salty and was eaten during summer. Jangachi can be used as a regular side dish and is made of radish or dried radish slices pickled or seasoned with salt, soy sauce, vinegar, soybean paste, lees of fermented liquor, and spices. Jangkwa is used as a stir-fry method and has been segregated from jangachi relatively recently.

Copper possesses antimicrobial properties against certain bacteria and fungi. In this study, changes in microbial population, color and the antioxidant properties of dried red pepper powder (RPP) by contact with the surface of a copper plate were investigated. Lightness of RPP increased after treatment on the copper plate for 2 h at 55℃. The numbers of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria in RPP increased by 0.61 and 0.50 log on the surface of stainless steel and copper plates during 24 h at 37℃, respectively. The population of yeast and mold was reduced by 90% in the RPP treated on both copper and stainless steel plates under the same condition. Yeast and mold were significantly reduced on the copper plate during 2 h at 55℃. Scavenging activities of RPP treated on the copper plate for 24 h at 37℃ against DPPH radical were decreased; those for 2 h at 55℃ against ABTS radical were rather enhanced. The results suggest that copper might be applied in the processing and storage equipment in relation to RPP products for antimicrobial purposes.

This experiment was established to find out the effect of drying methods on the fruit and powder color of red pepper. Hunter's L, a, and b values of the dried fruit were also higher with the cut fruit in comparison with the whole or punched fruit. The Hunter's a value of the pepper powder after drying and grinding was slightly higher for the whole fruit with sun drying, but it was higher for the cut fruit in case of heat drying. The ASTA value was higher when pepper fruits were sun dried. For the heat drying, the value was higher with the drying temperature $60^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to develop a processing method for dry-curing beef ham with Korean traditional sauces and to investigate the quality properties of the dry-cured beef hams. Semitendinosus muscle from Hanwoo was spread with sundried salt (C), sun-dried salt mixed with red pepper paste (T1), and sun-dried salt mixed with soybean paste (T2), and inserted into washed Hanwoo large intestine. It was then dried and fermented for 75 d. Moisture contents of the hams were 46-48%, without any significant differences. T1 showed the lowest pH among the three dry-cured hams, while water holding capacity (WHC) of T2 was found the lowest (p<0.05). In mechanical color determination, C showed higher CIE $a^*$ and CIE $b^*$ than T1 and T2 (p<0.05), however CIE $L^*$ did not show any significant difference. In texture, T1 demonstrated significantly lower springiness than C (p<0.05). The sensory properties of all dry-cured hams did not show any significant difference, but T1 indicated a higher taste, saltiness and overall acceptability than others, whereas C gathered the highest score in color and flavor. In conclusion, the dry-curing by combination of sun-dried salt mixed with red pepper sauce (T1) showed higher quality properties of the Hanwoo dry-cured ham.

Procedures for Dietary Fiber(DF) determination were applied to some common vegetables. The samples selected in this study were: Radish(Leaf), Chinese cabbage, Spinach, Shepherd's purse, Red pepper(Leaf), Perilla(Leaf), Soybean(Leaf) and Cabbage. DF was analyzed by the method of detergent fractionation. Values for NDF, ADF, Lignin, Hemicellulose, Cellulose were obtained. NDF for most samples was $12.9{\sim}27.4%$, except Soybean(Leaf) (41.9%), ADP was $7.7{\sim}16.9%$. Lignin was around $1.0{\sim}2.1%$; Red pepper (Leaf) (7.6%), Perillar(Leaf) (5.7%), Soybean(Leaf) (4.2%) were exceptions. $Hemicellulose(NDF{\sim}ADF)$ was about $2.9{\sim}12.0%$, except Soybean(Leaf) (25.0%). $Cellulose(ADF{\sim}Lignin)$ was $6.3{\sim}13.0%$. This paper describes two properties of the fiber of commonly eaten vegetables; Water-Holding Capacity(WHC) and Density. The capacity of the ADP to hold water was estimated. The WHC measurements differed from 6.6g per g of ADP for Red pepper(Leaf) to 10.4g per g of ADP for Radish(Leaf). Radish(Leaf), Soybean(Leaf) had the greatest WHC whereas Red pepper(Leaf), Perillar(Leaf) had the least. Two types of density determinations are shown. Direct (non-packed) values largely correspond with bulk(packed) density.

Dried vegetables, white ginseng and spices, which were exposed to gamma and electron beam irradiation, were used in a detection study by measuring their starch content and viscosity change. The samples tested showed different levels of starch content(15.64~60.86%), which was not directly proportional to the viscosity of the samples. The correlation coefficients between irradiation dose and viscosity change were lower in the samples, such as cabbage, carrot, clean vegetable(chunggyungchae), garlic, mushroom, green onion, and red pepper, while some higher coefficients were found in ginger(R2=0.9271), white ginseng (R2=0.6223) and onion (R2=0.7909). Thus, dried ginger and white ginseng were selected to be used for a detection of irradiated samples using specific parameters(threshold values). Specific parameter for the nonirradiated ginger and ginseng were 13.31 and 13.93, respectively. On the other hand, gamma and electron beam irradiated samples at 2.5 kGy, the lowest dose for a commercial purpose, showed decreased values, 11.92 and 11.15 in ginger, and moreover 4.40 and 5.10 in ginseng. It is expected that a proportional decrease in a specific parameter with the absorbed doses will be a potentially useful index for detecting whether starchy foods have been irradiated or not.
