The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nitrite substitution of sausage with purple sweet potato by examining the quality characteristics of sausage. Four sausage samples were prepared as follows: F1 (0.15% sodium nitrite), F2 (0.2% pigment), F3 (0.2% pigment and 5% powder), and F4 (0.2% pigment and 10% powder). A substitution of sodium nitrite with 0.2% purple sweet potato pigment reduced redness while increased yellowness. However, the addition of 5% purple sweet potato powder to 0.2% purple sweet potato pigment increased redness while reduced yellowness, which was similar to those of sausage with 0.15% addition of sodium nitrite. Further, color change increased as the content of purple sweet potato increased. As the amount of purple sweet potato increased, the contents of Ca, K, and Mg increased but hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased. In the sensory evaluation, the addition of purple sweet potato did not influence on appearance, color, or flavor. However, the addition of 10% purple sweet potato decreased the taste and texture of sausage. Correlation coefficients between overall acceptability, texture, appearance, color, taste, and flavor were 0.901, 0.895, 0.877, 0.844, and 0.688, respectively. Therefore, proper content of purple sweet potato powder and purple sweet potato pigment were determined to be 5% and 0.2%, respectively, for the substitution of sodium nitrite.

The effects of pH and temperature on degradation of anthocyanin in purple-fleshed sweet potato cultivars(Mokpo No.62, Borami, Jami, Sinjami and Ayamurasaki) were determined at pH ranges of 1 to 5 and temperature ranges of 20 to $80^{\circ}C$. The anthocyanin contents of five sweet potato varieties were 3.9, 3.8, 4.7, 4.1, 4.2 mg/g of dried sweet potato, respectively. Degradations of anthocyanins at different pHs and temperatures followed the first-order reaction. Our results clearly showed that the anthocyanin stability of purple-fleshed sweet potato was dependent on the source of the sweet potato cultivars. Anthocyanin obtained from Borami showed the highest stability. The half-life of antocyanin degradation of purple sweet potato cultivars(Mokpo No.62, Borami, Jami, Sinjami and Ayamurasaki) at pH 3 were 22.2, 28.3, 26.3, 23.4, 22.7 days at $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. A significant decrease in anthocyanin stability was observed at temperatures above $40^{\circ}C$. Activation energies of purple-fleshed sweet potato cultivars at different temperatures were 54.67, 60.93, 71.73, 59.35, 62.28 kJ/mol, respectively.

In order to investigate the effects of ethylene on the seed development of three corn types (dent, sweet, and super sweet corns), aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG) and silver thiosulfate (STS) and ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid, CEPA) were applied either on whole plants or shanks of ears at 9 and 21 days after silking. Ethylene production of developing super sweet corn seeds was much higher than those of sweet and dent corns. The cavity in the endosperm tissues of the super sweet corn started earlier and endosperm was collapsed more severely compared to those of sweet and dent corns. Ethylene production seemed to be related to the death of endosperm cells to form a cavity. Application of AVG and STS reduced ethylene production and delayed cavity formation in endosperm of super sweet corn seeds, while CEPA increased ethylene production and enhanced the time of cavity formation. AVG and STS increased 100-seed weight, while CEPA decreased.

In this study, two kinds of chestnut-sweet potato (CSP) and pumpkin-sweet potato (PSP) were cooked by three methods: raw, steaming, and roasting. These samples were investigated in food compositions such as moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber, fat, minerals, and vitamins. As the results of this study, the moisture contents of raw CSP and raw PSP were higher than those of steamed and roasted samples in two cultivars. The contents of protein in raw CSP and raw PSP were 2.57 g/100 g and 3.22 g/100 g, respectively, which were higher than those of other cultivars. The protein contents of roasted CSP and steamed PSP were lower than those of their raw samples. The potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and iron values of PSP were 1,048.46 mg/100g, 152.02 mg/100g, 74.70 mg/100g, 57.22 mg/100g, 22.28 mg/100g, and 1.44 mg/100g, respectively, which were the highest values in tested sweet potato cultivars. The content of dietary fiber in CSP was higher generally than that in PSP. The values of total dietary fiber in cooked sweet potatoes were higher than those of raw sweet potatoes. The contents of vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, in PSP were higher than those in CSP. Overall, two cultivars of raw, boiled, and roasted sweet potatoes had enhanced food composition. Therefore, these sweet potato cultivars are expected to be highly valuable food items for the development and application of functional foods.

The changes in weight, reducing sugar content, sugar composition and enzyme activities (${\beta}$-amylase and invertase) of sweet potato were studied with three kinds of cooking methods, microwave oven, gas oven, and steaming. The weights of sweet potato cooked by microwave oven and gas oven were decreased with increasing cooking time, whereas that of steaming was increased with cooking time. Reducing sugar content of sweet potato cooked by microwave oven was increased till 40 seconds, but decreased thereafter. In the cooking methods using gas oven and steaming, reducing sugar content were increased with cooking time. And reducing sugar content were 334.60 mg/g and 381.29 mg/g, respectively at 100$^{\circ}C$ of cold point in sweet potato cooked by gas oven and steaming. Raw sweet potato consisted of fructose (1.56 mg/g), glucose (1.79 mg/g), sucrose (5.58 mg/g), and maltose (2.22 mg/g). The contents of fructose, glucose, and sucrose were decreased during cooking process. But maltose content was increased with cooking time. Especially, maltose contents were 24.81 mg/g and 28.10 mg/g at 100$^{\circ}C$ of cold point in sweet potato cooked by gas oven and steaming. The activities of ${\beta}$-amylase and invertase were decreased with cooking time. Microwave oven-cooked sweet potato did not show on invertase activity.

Cultivated varieties of sweet potato were from dry texture type to tender texture type on the basis of consumer preferences. There are many differences in the quantity of sweet potato, starch content, pigment, and sugar content depending on the cultivation season and area, even in the same variety. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to establish optimum time of harvesting through growth characteristics and variation in component like starch, sugar, polyphenol and flavonoid. Four sweet potato varieties were used in this experiment. Among them, Jinhongmi (JHM) & Yulmi (YM) were as dry texture type and Pungwonmi (PWM) & Hogammi (HGM) were as tender texture type. Sweet potatoes were transplanted on 23 May, 2016 and were investigated storage root weight and component contents every 20 days from 60 days to 120 days and surveyed yield at 110, 120, 130 days after transplantation. Result revealed that storage root weight of YM, JHM, and HGM were 30.1, 38.9, 20.8 g respectively in 60 days after transplanting. Storage roots of PWM gerw faster with the weight of 88.2 g. In 120 days after transplanting, storage root weight varied from 88.3 to 118.7 g, HGM was the smallest, and PWM was the largest. Sugar contents of sweet potato ranged from 21.0 to $23.8Brix^{\circ}$ in 60 days after transplanting and from 27.5 to $30.78Brix^{\circ}$ in 120 days after transplanting. In particular, the sugar content of HGM was the highest over $30Brix^{\circ}$ after 80 days. The starch content of dry texture type (YM, JHM) increased from 15.5% to 20.4% and tender texture type (PWM, HGM) increased from 11.0% to 17.3%. Starch content tended to be high in dry type sweet potatoes. The content of polyphenol and flavonoid were highest in 60 days after transplanting and was reduced according to cultivation period. The total yield of PWM was high as 3,154 kg/10a and large storage root of over 250 g accounted for 47.4% in 110 days after transplanting. Storage root (YM, JHM, HGM) of 81~150 g accounted for 34.9% ~ 43.2% in 120 days after transplanting. These are the most marketable. Because consumer in Korea prefers small, round and about 100g size sweet potato. The ratio of large storage root (over 250 g) were increased in all varieties at 130 days after transplanting. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to harvest PWM at 110 days and YM, JHM, HGM at 120 days after transplanting, which planted in late May.

Effects of cultivation methods on quality characteristics, pasting characteristics, chemical components, and antioxidant activities of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) were determined. The Brix degree, hunter color value, pasting characteristics, moisture, protein, and mineral contents of the sweet potatoes showed significant differences from cultivation methods. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the methanolic extracts of the sweet potato's pericarp were higher than sweet potato's sarcocarp. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the sweet potato's pericarp on the conventional culture and successful cropped hairy vetch culture was 776.38 and 715.20 mg TE/100 g sample. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of the sweet potato's pericarp on the conventional culture and successful cropped hairy vetch culture was 708.03 and 708.58 mg TE/100 g sample. Generally, there was a difference in antioxidant compound content and radical scavenging activity on the methanolic extract of sweet potato with cultivation methods.

This study was performed to optimize the processing conditions and to select the optimum species for colored sweet potato chips (Shinjami, Juhwangmi and Hayanmi varieties) baked by far-infrared radiation. Sweet potato chips were prepared by different slicing thickness (1~3 mm), concentration of sucrose solution for soaking (15~30%), blanching time (15~60 sec), baking temperature ($110{\sim}140^{\circ}C$) and baking time (23~31 min) through sensory evaluation and failure stress measurement. Optimal processing condition of sweet potato chips using Shinjami was determined to 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, and those using Juhwangmi was determined as 1 mm, 25%, 45 sec, $130^{\circ}C$ and 29 min. Sweet potato chips using Hayanmi was determined as 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, respectively. Free sugar content of sweet potato chips was higher in chips than in raw materials. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, sweet taste, hardness, and overall acceptance were higher in Juhwangmi than in the Shinjami and Hayanmi varieties. Overall acceptance, sugar content, b-value and failure stress were highly correlated among factors affecting the sensory characteristics (p<0.01). From the results of this study, Juhwangmi variety was selected for production of sweet potato chips.

The objective of this study was to manufacture three kinds of domestic sweet potato Makgeolli using a mixture design and an optimization technique. The effects of four different manufacture methods, such as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with or without malt and separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) with or without malt were determined. The SSF methods of Makgeolli produced higher alcohol content than that of SHF methods. The sensory score was not influenced by different making methods. Fourteen experimental points were selected, and rice (10~50%), sweet potato (10~50%) and water (40~60%) were chosen as independent variables. The measured responses were sensory preference, total polyphenol content, and DPPH radical scavenging activities. The ratio of the optimum sweet potato Makgeolli mixture formulation was developed as 15.11 (rice): 44.89 (sweet potato): 40 (water) using the optimization technique. The desirability of the optimum mixture formulation was 0.839. Yellow sweet potato Makgeolli using the optimum mixture formulation produced higher soluble sugar content compared to others. Regular sweet potato Makgeolli produced higher pH. The purple sweet potato Makgeolli's total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were measured to be the highest at $771.91{\pm}1.42mg\;GAE/{\ell}$, $131.55{\pm}4.03%$.
