The soluble solid of red pepper was extracted by water in order to investigate changes of soluble solid content by different extraction temperature $(4{\sim}90^{\circ}C)$ and time $(1/2{\sim}3\;hrs)$, and the contents of carotenoid, capsaicinoids, free sugar, organic acid, free amino acid in soluble solid were measured. Most of soluble solid in red pepper was extracted within the first 2 hrs and $93{\sim}98%$ of total soluble solid was extracted during the first 30 min. The contents of carotenoid increased by increasing extraction time and temperature, but decreased by increasing extraction time at $60^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. ${\beta}$-carotene content was sharply decreased after 2 hrs at $90^{\circ}C$. The content of capsaicinoid was sharply increased between 1 hr and 2 hr. Fructose and glucose in red pepper were extracted in the range of $83.8%{\sim}96.4%$ and the contents of free sugar gradually increased by increasing extraction time and temperature. The content of organic acid was gradually increased by increasing extraction time and temperature and the greatest amount of organic acid was extracted during the first 30 min of extraction time. The content of free amino acid was decreased by increasing extraction temperature.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties of the ethanol extracts and soluble dietary fiber from Cassia tora L. seed. The proximate composition of Cassia tora, soluble solid contents, color intensity and contents of emodin and rhein of Cassia tora extract, molecular mass distribution, sugar contents and viscosity of soluble fiber from Cassia tora were analyzed. Cassia tora contains 12.6% of moisture, 5.2% of ash, 13.4% of crude protein, 7.2% of crude fat, 8.8% of insoluble fiber and 48.3% of soluble fiber. The effects of extract condition on soluble solid contents, color intensity and contents of emodin and rhein of Cassia tora extract were investigated. The soluble solid contents were higher in 70% or 50% ethanol extracts than those in 100% ethanol extracts and showed highest value in grind sample extracts. In Hunter's color value, 100% ethanol extracts and whole Cassia tora sample extracts were higher in L and b value, but on the contrary, were lower in a value, than those of the other. The highest emodin and rhein contents were observed in 70% and 50% ethanol extracts, respectively, and showed higher value in room temperature extracts than in heating extracts. The molecular mass of soluble fiber from Cassia tora seed was estimated by gel filtration chromatography. Most soluble fiber(80%) exhibited a molecular mass range of between 50~2000 kDa. The major sugars of soluble fiber from Cassia tora seed were identified as xylose, mannose and galactose. The apparent viscosity of 0.5% soluble fiber from Cassia tora seed was 33 mPas showing a higher value than pectin or xanthan gum.

In this study, the extraction characteristics of soluble solid from Rumex crispus(Curled dock) was studied from the investigation of the effects of experimental conditions on extraction rate; extraction ratio, composition of extractants, extraction time and pH of extractant, etc. The proximate composition of Rumex crispus was 2.58% crude lipid, 5.59% crude protein, 7.39% crude ash, 6.13% moisture and 78.31% carbohydrate, respectively. Turbidity of extract by distilled water was higher and increased with extraction time and extraction temperature, where as the turbidity didn't increase by ethanol and methanol in 20 folds of extraction ratio. Turbidity was inversely proportional to the extraction ratio for the three extractants at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 1 hour extraction. But turbidity of extract was highest by composition of 50% methanol-water extractant than any other compositions of extractants. Eighteen and fifteen free aminoacids were detected in extracts with distilled water, methanol and ethanol extractant, respectively, and it's contents were order of glutamic acid>proline>aminobutyric acid>alanine. The extraction rate of soluble solid from Rumex crispus was order of distilled water>methanol>ethanol within experimental extraction ratio. In extraction with distilled water, the contents of soluble solid was inversely proportional to the pH of extractant.

The objectives of this study were to examine the ability to predict soluble solid and firmness in intact apples based on the visible/near-infrared spectroscopic technique. Two cultivars of apples, Delicious and Gala, were handled, tested and analyzed separately. Reflectance spectra, Magness-Tayor (MT) firmness, and soluble solids in apples were measured sequentially. Maximum and minimum diameters, height, and weight of apples were recorded before the MT firmness tests. A spectrophotometer was used to collect reflectance spectra of intact apples over a wavelength range of 400 to 2, 498 nm. The W firmness tests were conducted using a standard 11.1mm (7/16 in.) MT probe mounted in an Instron universal testing machine. A digital refractormeter was used to measure soluble solid contents in the apples. Apple samples were divided into a calibration set and a prediction set. The calibration set was used during model development, and the prediction set was used to predict soluble solids and firmness from unknown spectra. The method of partial least square (PLS) analysis was used. An unique set of PLS loading vectors (factors) was developed for soluble solid content and firmness. The PLS model showed good correlations between predicted and measured soluble solids of intact apples in 860～1078 nm of the wavelengths. However, the PLS analysis was not good enough to predict the apple firmness.

To make the germinated buckwheat tea, soluble solid contents, total flavonoid contents and organoleptic properties were investigated under various steaming time and drying temperature. The optimum condition of soluble solid contents were 6.93 min of steaming time and 73.59$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. Total flavonoid contents were maximum under the condition of 5.22 min of steaming time and 79.05$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The optimum condition of overall palatability was 6.00 min of steaming time and 77.33$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The optimum ranges of soluble solid contents, total flavonoid contents and overall palatability of the tea were 5.4∼7.0 min of steaming time and 75∼8$0^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The values expected in the optimum ranges were also similar to the experimental values.

Quality of 'Niitaka' pear fruit was evaluated by instrumental and sensory analysis in relation to storability. Fruits harvested at commercial maturity were stored in a common storage room or in a cold storage at $2^{\circ}C$. During storage, fruits were sorted by instrumental measurement of soluble solid content (SSC) and flesh firmness. Then, overall acceptability was evaluated by organoleptic test. Critical storage period was determined by sensory evaluation index for different storage methods. After 60 days of storage, eating quality was acceptable when flesh firmness was higher than $3.3kg/8mm{\emptyset}$. As for soluble solid contents, high eating quality was obtained when pear fruit contained soluble solids higher than $13.0^oBrix$. In 'Niitaka' pears, however, changes in soluble solid content seemed not to be an appropriate parameter to determine storability since SSC increased during both common and cold storage. Data of organoleptic test and postharvest changes in flesh firmness suggested that storability of 'Niitaka' pear fruit seemed to be 30 days in a common storage and 120 days in a refrigerated storage.

The effects of salting methods on textural properties of Kakdugi were evaluated during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for up to 52 days. Kakdugi samples were prepared by 4 different salting methods at final salt concentration of 1.5%, which is appropriate for organoleptic quality. The salting methods for radish cubes(2 cm size) of Kakdugi were as follows; 1) Treatment S-1: spraying dry salt uniformly on to the radish cubes at 1.5%(w/w) and holding for 1 hr, 2) Treatment S-5: spraying dry salt uniformly on to the radish cubes at 1.2%(w/w) and holding for 5 hr, 3) Treatment B-1: brining radish cubes in a 8.5%(w/v) salt solution for 1 hr, 4) Treatment B-5: brining radish cubes in a 4.0%(w/v) salt solution for 5 hr. The contents of water soluble pectin, total soluble solid and PG activity were increased as the fermentation periods increased. A majority of total dietary fiber(TDF) consisted of soluble dietary fiber(SDF), and the amount of insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) was relatively small in Kakdugi during fermentation. Furthermore, an increase in SDF and a consequent decrease in IDF contents were observed with the fermentation time increased.

Physicochemical characteristics and analysis of functional constituents of mulberry (Morus alba L.) fruit juices were investigated according to four different mulberry cultivars, including iksuppong, daeseongppong, cheongilppong and kwasangppong. Among the four mulberry cultivars examined, the small-sized cheongilppong had higher soluble solid content and lower titratable acidity, whereas the big-sized daeseongppong had higher titratable acidity and lower soluble solid content than other mulberry cultivars. Cheongilppong had higher contents of fructose and glucose, while daeseongppong had higher contents of citric and malic acids than the other mulberry cultivars. Kwasangppong had higher contents of two anthocyanins, cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, while cheongilppong had lower contents of two anthocyanins than the other mulberry cultivars. Daeseongppong had higher contents of resveratrols, flavonoids and moracin, whereas cheongilppong had higher levels of protocatechuic, chlorogenic and caffeic acids than the other mulberry fruits. Of the four mulberry cultivars, daeseongppong and cheongilppong had higher contents of GABA and DNJ, respectively, than the other mulberry cultivars. These results provide useful information to food technologists for the development and standardization of high quality mulberry juices as well as their processed foods.
