The cell membrane properties in relation to flesh browning of Fuyu persimmon fruits during CA storage were studied. Compared to intact fruits, the flesh tissue of browned fruits showed higher rate of electrolyte leakage, indicating incresed membrane permeability. It could be assumed that the increased membrane permeability results in 1eakage of phenolic compounds from vacuole and their oxidation by contacting with PPO, inducing finally the development of flesh browning. In addition, lower content of fatty acids and higher saturation rate of them were found in browned fruits. In conculusion, it was suggested that the inhibited fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid saturation during CA storage cause membrane Permeability to increase.

This study was conducted to investigate the relation of softening with the mineral compone-nts during ripening of tomato fruits. The mineral contents of Ca, K, Mg, Zn. Fe Mn and Cu and its existence form respiratory rate and hardness during ripening were evaluated. The respiratory rate of tomato fruits was decreased until 42 days after anthesis and then increased the climacteric maximum was found on 49 days after anthesis then decreased. The hardness of tomato fruits during ripening did not change greatly until 45days after anthesis then decrea-sed markedly. The major mineral components of tomato fruits were K, Ca, and Mg, Zn Fe Mn and Cu were the minor components. The contents of soluble Ca, Ma and K increased markedly and those of bound Ca and Mg decreased markedly after 45days during ripening,. However other components were not changed greatly.

This study was conducted to develop neural networks of predicting the sugar content of fruits based on the optical densities obtained from a spectrophotometer. Pear, apple and peach were used in investigating the feasbility of the developed neural networks as a nondestructive measurement. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the optical densities of test fruits. The neural networks suggested in this study consisted of multi-layers having one hidden layer and one output layer. The correlation coefficients between the predicted and the measured sugar content for most fruits were high. The neural networks using 2nd derivatives of optical density spectrum produced a better results in predicting the sugar content of fruits. This study contributed to develop a method for nondestructively predicting the sugar content of fruits.

Moringa oleifera Lam (M. oleifera, Moringaceae) is a tree of the Moringaceae family that can reach a height of between 5 and 10 m. The current paper presents cytotoxic effect of M. oleifera fruits and its flavonoids 1 and 2. The viability of HCT116 human colon cancer cells were 38.5% reduced by $150{\mu}g/mL$ of ethanolic extracts in a concentration-dependent manner; in addition, we observed the apoptotic features of cell shrinkage and decreased cell size. Bcl-2 family proteins were regulated as determined by Western blotting analysis, suggesting that M. oleifera fruits and their flavonoids 1 and 2 induced apoptosis through an intrinsic pathway. Based on our findings, 70% ethanolic extracts of M. oleifera fruits and flavonoids 1 and 2 might be useful as cytotoxic agents in colorectal cancer therapy.

Quality characteristics of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.var.miyagawa) harvest on early December according to production areas and sea level altitude of Cheju were investigated. Soluble solids and flesh ratio were distributed 9.32∼12.50, 75.95%-81.3 in citrus fruits harvested in orchards located below 10m sea level altitude (lower area), and was 10.23-12.17 , 77.35%-80.29% on those over 150m sea level altitude )higher area), respectively. Acid content of citrus juice was 0.95%-1.26% in fruits harvested inlower area, and was 1.02%-1.39% in higher area. In proportion to late harvesting , Brix/acid ratio and fruits quality was improved. Soluble solids of fruits harvested in higher area were higher than those of fruits from higher area, but acid contents were on the contrary . In sensory evaluation on fruit appearance, the differences between two altitudes were not clear.

The fruits showing brown rot symptom on dwarf flowering almond were found in Gongju, Chungchungnam-Do in Korea in July 2005. Small water-soaked lesions on the fruits were initiated, and gradually developed to soft rot covered with gray conidia. Then the diseased fruits were shrunk and became grayish-black mummies. A fungus was isolated from the diseased fruit and its morphological, cultural and molecular genetic characteristics were investigated. Typical blastospores of Monilinia spp. were observed under a light microscope both from tissues of the diseased fruits and from PDA-grown cultures. The fungus grew well at $25^{\circ}C$ and on PDA. The ITS ribosomal DNA region (650 bp) of the fungus was amplified by PCR and analyzed. Comparative data on ITS sequence homology among Monilinia spp., ITS sequence-based phylogram and morphological characteristics showed that the fungus is Monilinia fructicola. This is the first report on Monilinia fructicola causing brown rot on fruits of dwarf flowering almond in Korea.

Four anthocyanins were isolated from the acidic alcoholic extract of Syzygium cumini fruits growing in Egypt: Pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside, pelargonidin-3,5-O-diglucoside, cyanidin-3-O-malonyl glucoside, and delphenidin-3-O-glucoside. They were identified by the chromatographic, TLC and PC, and spectral analyses, UV, $^1$H-NMR and FAB/MS. The fruits were found to contain 0.03 gm % anthocyanins calculated on fresh weight basis calculated by spectrophotometric assay. Cytotoxic activity of total alcoholic extract of the fruits was performed against several types of tumor cell lines using the SRB assay. The tested extract exhibited significant cytotoxic activity for MCF7 (breast carcinoma cell line) (IC$_{50}$= 5.9 ${\mu}$g/mL), while the IC$_{50}$ was > 10 ${\mu}$g/mL for both Hela (Cervix carcinoma cell line), HEPG2 (liver carcinoma cell line), H460 (Lung carcinoma cell line) and U251 (Brain carcinoma cell line).

[ ${\beta}$-Cryptoxanthin ] contents were determined from Citrus unshiu Markovich fruits grown in a greenhouse and open field of Jeju Island, off the southern coast of Korea. In a greenhouse and open field, the ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin content in the peel was greatly increased by harvesting citrus fruits in the late season from August through November. However, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin content in the flesh was gradually increased and was superior to that of the citrus fruits grown in a greenhouse. ${\beta}$-Cryptoxanthin was efficiently purified from the flesh of citrus fruits harvested in the late harvesting season in November. The ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin contents in the peel and flesh of citrus fruits harvested from a greenhouse in November were 0.89 mg% and 0.35 mg%, respectively, and in that obtained from an open field were 1.12 mg% and 0.35 mg%, respectively.

Shock and vibration inputs are transmitted from the transporting vehicle through the packaging to the fruit during the parcel delivery service. The vibration causes sustained bouncing of fruits against each other and the container wall. The steady state vibration input may cause serous fruit injury, and the damage is particularly severe if the fruits are bounced at its resonance frequency. The determination of the resonance frequencies of the fruits and vegetables may help the packaging designer to determine the proper packaging system providing adequate protection for the fruits, and to understand the complex interaction between the components of the fruits when they relate to expected transportation vibration inputs. To analyze the vibration properties of the apples for optimum packaging design during transportation for parcel delivery service, random vibration tests were carried out. In the random vibration test, the resonance frequency and PSD of the apples in packaging system for parcel delivery service in the test were in the range of 13 to 99 Hz and $0.0143{\sim}0.0923G^2/Hz$.
