To investigate tile effects of growth characteristics on the yield, price per Kg, chemical contents and physical properties in Burley tobacco, ten varieties including Burley 21 were tested in this study. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1 Forty to fifty days after transplanting, CCR (Crop Growth Rate) was the highest. RCR (Relative Growth Rate) increased up to 40 days, but decreased 50 days when maturation began. High- yielding varieties showed high CCR and RCR till 60 days. 2. Total alkaloid content of cured leaf increased about three times than that of topping stage, but the increased rates were some what different among varieties. 3. Leaf area, stalk diameter, stalk height and days to flower showed positive correlations to yield, whereas leaf thickness and weight per unit leaf area showed negative. 4 Varieties which are high in cured leaf weight ratio and weight per unit leaf thickeners showed relatively poor quality. 5 Nitrogen content was high in leafy and larger stalk diameter variety. 6. There are positive correlation between weight per unit leaf thickness and filling power. The time of combustion was positively correlated to leaf thickness and weight Per unit leaf. 7. It can be concluded that many characteristics are related to the yield, but not quality. It is, there fore, easy to Predict tile yield, but difficult to forecast the qualiffy.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mulberry leaf powder on the antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of maejakgwa (a Korean traditional cookie). Maejakgwa was prepared with different amounts of mulberry leaf powder (in ratios of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenol content in mulberry leaf powder and maejakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, bulk density and the pH of the dough, moisture contents, color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were measured. The total phenol contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, bulk density of the batter and the a values of maejakgwa significantly increased with increasing mulberry leaf powder, whereas the pH of the batter, L values and b values of the maejakgwa significantly decreased with increasing mulberry leaf powder content. Finally, the results of the acceptance test indicated that maejakgwa containing 6% mulberry leaf powder had the highest scores. From these results, we suggest that mulberry leaf is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability as well as the functionality of maejakgwa.

We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared after the addition of various concentration of used guava leaf powder(0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, as guava leaf powder concentration rose, there was a decrease in the water content level. In addition, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of the cookies were examined. The results showed that with an increase in guava leaf powder concentration, the L value decreased significantly, while the values for a and b of cookies increased when more guava leaf power was added to cookies. The spread factor of cookies decreased, but the hardness of cookies increased significantly, as guava leaf powder concentration increased. Cookies containing 0% and 3% of guava leaf powder showed a similar sensory evaluation score in terms of color, taste and flavor of the cookies. In the case of texture and overall consumer acceptability, cookies with 3% of guava leaf powder showed the highest score.

Physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of radish pickles added with different amounts of stevia leaf (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 g) were investigated. Radish slices ($4{\times}4{\times}4cm$) were salted with NaCl, soaked into pickling solution added with different amounts of stevia leaf, and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. Throughout the whole storage periods, L and b values of radish pickles increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf, whereas a value decreased. Hardness and strength increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf during the storage period. Antioxidant compound contents and antioxidant activity increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf. These results are expected to be useful in producing stevia leaf radish pickles with antioxidant activity and we propose the manufacture and commercialization of radish pickles added with 2.0 g of stevia leaf.

This study was conducted to relate among growth characteristics, quality, and chemical components for flue-cored tobacco. The results are summarized as follows : 1. Starch content in harvested green leaf was correlated negatively with leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, and leaf weight of harvested green leaf, respectively, while positively with total sugar content in cured leaf, and the ratio of leaf length to leaf width of harvested green leaf. 2. Organic matter and total nitrogen contents in the soil were correlated positively with nicotine content in cured leaf, respectively, and total nitrogen in the soil negatively with total sugar content in cured leaf. 3, Amount of fertilizer, application date of MH, priod of harvesting, and yield were correlated positively with nicotine content in cured leaf, respectively , while negatively with total sugar content. Application amount of MH was correlated positively with total sugar content, but negatively with nicotine content in cured leaf. Also amount of compost was correlated negatively with nicotine content in cured leaf. 4. The ratio of total sugar to nicotine (TS/N) per plant was correlated positively with price (Won/kg) and specific leaf area, but negatively with leaf length. leaf width, leaf area, harvested leaves, and leaf weight in cured leaves, respectively. Yield was correlated negatively with TS/N per plant. 5. TS/N of the best quality tobacco per plant was 12.0. Those of the best quality tobacco in each stalk position were 42.1 for first~third leaf, 28.4 for 4th~6th leaf , 23.7 for 7th~9th leaf, 7.7 for l0th~12th leaf , and 7.8 for over 13th leaf from bottom, respectively. 6, When TS/N was 12.0, optimum values of growth characteristics per plant were 100.5 $\pm$ 10.3g for leaf dry weight, 755.1$\pm$53.2cm for leaf length, 294.4$\pm$25.1cm for leaf width, 8, 892$\pm$111cm2 for leaf area, 16.0$\pm$0.6 leaves for harvested leaves, and 7.32$\pm$0.44mg/cm2 for specific leaf area, respectively. 7. When TS/N was 12.0, optimum values of chemical components per plant were 1.92$\pm$0.28% for nicotine content, and 20.4$\pm$ 1.4 % for total sugar content, and that of yield was 238.3$\pm$ 9.8kg/10a.

Leaf structure is one of the important agronomic traits. A rolled leaf mutant was induced from an ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS)-treated japonica rice, 'Koshihikari'. The rolled leaf mutant showed phenotypes of reduced leaf width and leaf rolling. In addition, several abnormal morphological characteristics were observed, including dwarfism, defected panicle, delayed germination, and lower seed-setting. Microscopic analysis revealed that the number of small veins was decreased and the sizes of adaxial bulliform cells were reduced in the mutant leaves. The genetic study with two $F_2$ populations from the crosses of the rolled leaf mutant with 'Koshihikari' and Milyang23 suggested that the mutant phenotype might be controlled by a single dominant gene.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of lotus leaf powder on the qualitative characteristics of Jeung-Pyun (traditional Korean fermented rice cake). To achieve the highest volume and specific volume, 4% lotus leaf powder was required. However the moisture content dropped as the lotus leaf powder was added to the mixture. In addition, pH of Jeung-Pyun decreased the longer it was allowed to ferment, but the pH increased after steaming. We also evalusted the transparency of Jeung-Pyun as lotus leaf powder was added. As the lotus leaf powder was added, the L-value decreased and the a-value and b-value increased. Additionally, the hardness, chewiness and brittleness of Jeung-Pyun increased as more lotus leaf powder was added (p<0.05), but the springiness and cohesiveness did not change. The Jeung-Pyun also became darker and the cells became less uniform as the level of lotus powder increased. A control group of Jeung-Pyun without lotus leaf powder produced the strongest takju flavor, while the sourness decreased as more lotus leaf powder was added. The addition of 2% and 4% lotus leaf powder resulted in the chewiest and most flexible Jeung-Pyun. The results of this evaluation showed that Jeung-Pyun with 4% lotus leaf powder had the best appearance, flavor, texture, and taste, and was generally the most preferred Jeung-Pyun. Finally, SEM evaluation of the Jeung-Pyun, revealed that, higher levels of lotus leaf powder resulted in larger and less consistent pores and bubbles.

Bamboo leaf powder was added to Jeolpyun to increase the neutraceutical effects and storage period. The bamboo leaf powder was added to rice flour at ratios of 0, 4, 6, 8, and 10% (w/w), and they were treated with aqueous malt extract to extend storage. The Jeolpyun was stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr, and the physical and sensory characteristics were evaluated. As a result, the crude fat, crude protein, moisture, crude ash and total dietary fiber contents in bamboo leaf powder were 4.36, 11.29, 3.37, 7.33, and 65.57%, respectively. The Hunters L, a, and b values decreased significantly as the amount of bamboo leaf powder increased; however, the a and b values increased during storage. The paste property setback values decreased with the malt extract treatment and with increasing amounts of bamboo leaf powder. In a sensory analysis, hard texture strength in the malt extract and bamboo leaf powder treatment groups was less than that in the control during storage. The Jeolpyun prepared with malt extract and no bamboo leaf powder was the most accepted by consumers. Although adding bamboo leaf powder resulted in less consumer acceptance except for the flavor attribute, adding 4% and 8% bamboo leaf powder resulted in better consumer acceptance for texture, taste, and overall acceptance than that of the control. In a microbial analysis, adding bamboo leaf powder resulted in fewer mold colonies. In conclusion, adding 4% bamboo leaf powder and malt extract to Jeolpyun improved its storage properties.
