The saponin yield and its compositional changes of red ginseng extract (RG-EXT) was investigated during extraction at various temperature for 5 times of 8 hours. The higher temperature resulted an increase in solids yield while the total saponin recovered was decreased, particularly at $100^{\circ}C$. A relatively lower thermal stability was found for protopanaxadiol saponin, one of the saponin fractions, than protopanaxatriol saponin. The compositional ratio of saponin at ginsenoside level was little affected by extraction time. The yields data showed that more than 94% of total saponin was recovered by 3$\sim$4 times of 8 hours extraction. Extraction at $80^{\circ}C$ for 4 times of 8 hours were suggested for preparation of RG-EXT from the result of this work.

Effects of number of washings with solvents on drying rates and physicochemical properties of dried soymilk residues(SMR) were investigated. The dried soymilk residue was prepared by washing the residue with acetone or ethanol, followed by drying at $60^{\circ}C$. Increase of number of washings with a residue/solvent ratio of 1/1.5 resulted in an increase in drying rate and in protein content of the residue while the lipid content decreased. The brightness of the dried residue and the properties of water and oil absorption were also improved by washing with acetone which was advantageous to ethanol for all of the properties measured. Washings more than 3 times with acetone or 2 times with ethanol were found to be less effective in terms of quality improvement. The more addition of dried residue into the mixture of SMR-wheat flour resulted in a linear increase of water and oil absorption characteristics.

Changes in viscosity of soymilk were evaluated as affected by solid concentration, temperature, pH and sugar addition. Soybeans were soaked, ground with boiling water, and filtered followed by boiling for 30 min for soymilk preparation. It was found that viscosity increased exponentially as solid concentration increased while the raise of temperature caused exponential decrease in it. A minimum viscosity was ovserved at pH 6.5 in the range of pH 5.0-8.0. The effects of solid concentration and pH on viscosity were reduced as the measuring temperature increased. Addition of sucrose up to 9% showed little effect on viscosity with showing a tendency of increase.

Dried soymilk residue(SMR) which was prepared by washing with ethanol and acetone, followed by drying at $60^{\circ}C$ was investigated for its sorption characteristics and the relationship between moisture content and water activity when it was mixed with wheat flour. During storage at $20^{\circ}C$ and various RH, an excess sorption phenomena was observed for solvent treated and dried SMR before equilibrium reached. A simple equation of log(dw/dt)=b log t+log a, where t is storage time(hr) and w is %$(H_2O)$ was drived for sorption or desorption rate of dried SMR at RH range of 12%-92%. From sorption isothermifigure, the moisture content(Mi) could be calculated from water activity by the equation of Mi=b Aw+a. The proposed equation was proved to have better fitness than those of the Smith isotherm equation or Lang and Steinberg equation for the mixture of dried SMR and wheat flour.

In order to find out pertinent methods for the acceleration of browing during ginseng processing, various treatments were made or fresh ginseng (Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer) with sugars, amino acids and inorganic nitrogenous compounds and the extent of browning was measured. Among sugars tested, maltose resulted in the greatest acceleration of browning followed in decreasing order by glucose and lactose, whereas pentoses, fructose, sucrose and raffinose had negligible effect. A marked browning occurred in ginseng treated with basic amino acids, while the extent of browning was not greatly increased when ginseng was treated with aliphatic amino acids, hydroxy amino acids, or acidic amino acids used in the experiment. Among treatments with sugar-amino acid mixture, a mixture of glucose with glutamic acid gave the greatest acceleration. The brown color intensity gradually increased with an increase in glucose concentration for up to 0.5M. inorganic nitrogenous compounds enhanced the browning in general, and the effect varied greatly with the different compounds.

Cooked spaghetti soaked in 10%, 20%, and 40% aqueous glycerine solutions for ten minutes absorbed sufficient glycerine to plasticize that spaghetti during and after subsequent drying. The plasticizing action of the glycerine prevented fissuring(checking) and surface corrugation of the spaghetti at elevated drying temperature and large wet-bulb dry-bulb temperature difference. The drying temperature and the wet-bulb dry-bulb differences up to which such protection was provided as the glycerine soak concentration increased. Despite the reduction in drying rate, the drying time required to produce spaghetti with a water activity of 0.65 (the level normally required for stability) decreased as glycerine content increased. At high frying temperatures glycerine addition increased the extent of browning and shortened the period required to induce detectale browning, but in all instances browning started well after the product $a_w$ reached the 0.65 value required for the completion of drying. Because glycerine addition reduced drying times at any given set of drying conditions and permitted the use of higher drying temperatures, relatively low levels of glycerine addition (e.g. 0.15 kg glycerine/kg dry spagetti) can shorten spagnetti drying times by roughly 80% and perhaps by as much as 93%.

The dried soymilk residue (SMR) was added into soybean water extract in order to investigate its effect on physical characteristics of soybean curd. As the mixing ratio (d. b.) increased, the volume and water holding capacity of the curd was reduced and penetration value was increased. However, the Sag value was rather increased until 20% of mixing ratio reached and then decreased drastically by 30% addition of SMR. The overall physical and sensory quality showed that substitution of soybean with SMR by 10% was recommendable without significant unfavorable change in quality of soybean curd. The proposed method of absorption of unbound water on filter paper was proved to be simple and reliable for measurement of water holding capacity of soybean curd.

The issues concerning the nature of the attitude toward the study of national language may vary from country to country, depending on the national or racial characteristics. The problem domains and the methodologies dealing with them may vary accordingly. Ever since the Korean language was equipped with a writing system in the year of 1443 through King Sejong's long-cherished desire, investigations have been constantly made into the real nature of the language itself in pursuit of a better method for representing the spoken language in written form. This is how the study of the Korean language began to take shape. Among such investigations are Hunmin-jeong-eum(the Korean script: 1446) compiled by Jiphyon-jon, the royal office of schloarly researches, Doongguk-jeonghun-yokhun (the orthodox script of Korean: 1448), Hongmu-jeonghun-yeokhun(interlinear gloss for the Chinese script of the Ming Dynasty: 1455), An Orthodox Approach to Written Korean (1909) by the institute of the National Script, Re Standardized Spelling System (1933) by Chosun Language Society, An Authorized Dictionary of Standard Korean (1936), How to Write Borrowed Words(1940), and A Grand dictionary of Korea (1947-57). Chu Shi-Gyung's Phonetics of the Korean Script(1908), Korean Grammar(1910), and Sound Patterns of Korean(1914) were all written in this vein; so was Choi Hyun-Bae's Uri-mal-bon (the rudiments of Korean Grammar: 1929/1937). All these achievements in the study of the Korean language are the end-products of the constant endeavor to solve the issues related to the spoken and written farms of the Korean language. And this is how the uniqueness and autonomy of the language study in korea have been established. It should be borne in mind, however, that, in seeking solutions to the problems inherent in the Korean linguistic studies of foreign countries. On the contrary, they have been very active in accommodating such results. While they have set up their problem domains on the basis of the korean language, they been progressively open-minded in looking for the solutions to the problems at hand.

Some physicochemical properties of gamma-irradiated soybeans (0-20 kCy) were investigated. Proximate components, fatty acid compositions and minerals of the soybeans irradiated at 2.5 - 20 kGy shrived no difference from the nonirradiated control. Irradiation doses above 10 kGy and long term storage caused decrease in extractable phenols and phytate content, whereas increases in acid value and organic acid content. The total amino acids content of the soybeans irradiated up to 10 kGy was not changed as compared with the nonirradiated control. Sulfur-containing amino acids, however, were changed by 10 and 20 kGy irradiaton. Gamma irradiation and long term storage caused minor changes in the color attributes of soybeans. Hunter's 'L' (lightness) and 'b' (yellowness) values were decreased whereas 'a' (redness) value was increased with increasing dose levels and the elapse of the storage period.

Dried-red pepper, whole and powdered types, was subjected to a storage-study by investigation the effects of packaging methods (polycloth & polyethylene/polycloth, whole dried-red pepper; nylon/polyethylene-lam-inated film, red pepper powder), temperature (ambient, $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$) and gamma irradiation doses (0-10 kGy). After 6 months storage in polyclith sack at ambient temperature, all whole dried-red pepper showed quality deterioration, such as weight change, insect infestation, discoloration and chemical changes, After 2 years storage in combined packaging with polyethylene/polycloth sack of 5-7.5 kGy irradiated whole dried-red pepper at ambient temperature, however, quality deterioration was not observed. Gamma-irradiated red pepper powder (7.5-10kGy) showed a good quality in hygienic, physicochemical and organoleptic evaluation after 2 years of storage at ambient temperature.
