It was studied about the effects of irrigation schedules by integrated solar radiation on fruit sweetness of cherry tomato in perlite and polyurethane(PUR) culture. In PUR culture. the brix % was decreased with frequent irrigation and their differences were increased as high as the cluster. The brix % in PUR culture was higher than in perlite culture and their differences were large in proportion as the Plant grew when the Percentage of drainage was 25%. The a＊ value, expressing red color. was not affected by irrigation schedules when the medium was PUR. On the other hand, the value of a＊ in PUR was higher than that in perlite. and its tendency was large as high as the cluster. The fresh weight of fruit was higher in perlite culture than in PUR culture. From this study it Is recommended that the percentage of drainage is maintained to 25% in PUR culture in view of Productivity and quality of fruits.

Stevioside was transglucosylated to improve its sweetness. Eighteen conditions were tested using the tables of orthogonal arrays of $L_{18}\;(2^{1}{\times}3^{7})$. Statistical analysis showed that the transglucosylation rate was significantly affected by temperature, the ratio of co-substrate (maltodextrin) to stevioside, pH, DE of maltodextrin and concentration of stevioside, in their order. Optimum conditions selected for temperature, ratio of co-substrate to stevioside, pH and DE of maltodextrin were $80^{\circ}C$, 1.0, 6.0 and 15, respectively. Glycosyl-stevioside with 68% yield of transglucosylation was produced at the optimum condition and found to have better quality in sweetness than stevioside and rebaudioside A.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of commercial breakfast cereals. The results showed that as water absorption index (WAI) increased, water soluble index (WSI) decreased. WSI has an effect on Bowl life, so Bowl life became longer as WSI enhanced. The size, shape and texture of breakfast cereals were also affective factors of their Bowl life. The quality describing terms of breakfast cereals were surveyed and the terms were classified to brittleness, roasted nutty taste, sweetness, hardness and aftertaste, especially brittleness was the most important quality determining terms among these. Significantly, sweetness had positive correlationship with roasted nutty taste. Overall eating quality had positively correlationship with color and roasted nutty flavor, and negatively with pain in mouth, adhesiveness and additive taste.

The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the contents of chemical composition (chlorogenic acids, caffeine, free acids, and free sugars) and 2) to evaluate the sensory attributes (sourness, bitterness, and sweetness) of brewed coffee as affected by two roasting conditions such as varied in the roasting time with the same roasting temperature (RT) and with same color and yield (CY). Quantitative analysis of chemical components was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was conducted to analyze sensory attributes. Based on the results of chemical analysis, chlorogenic acids were significantly different (p<0.05) in the short term roasted samples (RT 240 and CY 240), but there was no significant difference in caffeine contents (p>0.05). Organic acid levels were different between RT and CY coffee samples. RT 240 coffee had the most level in organic acids and the longer the roasting time of coffee, the lesser the level of organic acids in coffee was found. However, there was no significant difference in CY coffee (p>0.05). The results of sensory evaluations show that the degree of roasting changed according to the roasting time despite of the roasting temperature. Long term (RT 80) coffee was relatively bitter while short term (RT 240) coffee was relatively sweeter. Also, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the sensory characteristics (bitterness and sweetness) of CY coffee although they were roasted at different temperatures. Therefore, the current study concluded that better understanding of proper roasting time and temperature improves the quality of brewed coffee.

Kimi(氣味) means five tastes(五味), sour, bitterness, sweetness, hot taste and astringency, and four conditions(四氣), cold, hot, warm and cool, in the oriental medicine. This is defined based on yn-yang 5 evolutive phasis(陰陽五行), and 5 evolutive phasis on the change of season. Four seasons, spring, summer, autumm, winter are clearly different but, the rainy season(長夏) is not. In the thee of Ki (氣), not worm not hot(平) is included in addition to the four conditions that is because the rainy season is not differentiated clearly. KImi have realations to the four seasons, that is, warm and hot taste is considered as spring, hot and astringency as summer, not worm not hot and sweetness as rainy season, cool and sour as autumm, and cold and bitterness as winter. 4 conditions can be classified more detail, because the changes of the seasons are continuous. In the action mechanisms, Gardeniae Fructus reduces Heat of Insufficency Type(虛熱) of the upper class of medicinal herbs(上焦), and Rhel Rhizoma reduces Exessive Heat(實熱) of the under class of them(下焦). The assay methods for four groups medicines can be developed in three ways according to the indicators as follows. First, by the indicator which defines cold-acting medicine(寒性藥) such as Rhei Rhizoma, Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Gardeniae Fructus and is differentiated clearly from Hot-acting medicine(熱性藥) at the same time. Second, when the medicines are classified into another four groups as Drugs for Dispelling Internal Cold(溫裏藥), Drugs for Relieving Exterior Syndrome(解表藥), Drugs for Dispelling Phlegm(祛痰藥), Drugs for Regulatings Ki Flow(理氣藥), by the indicator which satisfies each group and is differentiated from other groups, at the same time. Third, by the indicator which has to be defined for each medicinal herb for four classification, individually.

This study was carried out to access the stauts of pyruvic acid and sugars in onion bulbs during storage at room temperature. Pyruvic acid content remained in a steady state until 3 months of storage. However the pyruvic acid content gradually increased as the onions started to root, and rapidly increased after sprouting. There was no difference in dry matter contents during storage.e. Sucrose content increased as storage duration extended, and then gradually decreased right after the onions started to sprout. Fructose content gradually decreased after 45 days of storage, and remained in a steady state after sprouting. Glucose content had a tendency to increase as storage duration extended. Pyruvic acid/total sugar (PA/TS) ratio decreased after 1 month of storage, and then increased after 135 days, and was 83% higher at 150 days of storage than at harvest. Sweetness gradually decreased until 1 month of storage, but thereafter remained steady. Therefore it is desirable that pyruvic acid analysis for sweet onion selection should be conducted before breaking the dormancy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of addition of jujube on lnjeulmi in storage. Jujube powder was added to lnjeulmi made from the steamed glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour and brown glutinous rice flour. As a result of the sensory evaluation, the more jujube is added, the stronger sweetness and the more bitterness is shown. The sweetness and bitterness, made from brown glutinous rice, of Deachu-Injeulmi added jujube powder is the highest, and the more jujubes are tasted. Tenderness and moistness of Deachu-Injeulmi is decreased in the order of Deachu-Injeulmi made from glutinous rice, brown glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, tenderness and moistness is increased with less amount of jujube. Chewiness of Deachu-Injeulmi made brown glutinous rice flour is the highest and Deachu-Injeulmi made from glutinous rice is the most rough. Moisture content is decreased in the order of Daechu-Injeulmi from glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, brown glutinous rice flour. The reducing sugar content about storage period of Daechu-Injeulmi is decreased in the order of glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, brown glutinous rice flour, and it is dramatically reduced until 48 hours of storage. However, it is increased a little bit after 72 hours. The changes in degree of gelatinization by storage period is that it is rapidly reduced until 24 hours, and it is decreased in the order of glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour, brown glutinous rice flour. That is to say, the more jujube powder is added, the less change there is. Springiness and cohesiveness is decreased during storage. Chewiness and gumminess is higher with more jujube, and it is increased until 24hour of storage period, then it is decreased after 48 hours. Hardness of Daechu-Injeulmi made from glutinous rice flour is the highest and the more jujube is added. Hardness of Daechu-Injeulmi added jujube powder is decreased in the order of Daechu-Injeulmi of 2.5%, 10% and 7.5%. The more jujube is added, the less change of the hardness by the storage period Daechu-Injeulmi is observed, thus the speed of the retrogradation is getting slower.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of Chinese foods in main ingredients, sauces, and cooking methods, and to assess the applicability of kochujang in Chinese foods. Twenty Chinese foods and commercial kochujang were selected by a Chinese head cook. The main ingredients were 24 kinds such as pork, chicken, shrimp, bok choy, bean curd, Chinese noodles etc., which were generally used in Korean foods. The main Chinese sauces were 11 kinds, and soy sauce was used in 12 foods, shang loo tau soy sauce in 2, wine in 8, oyster sauce in 7, rice wine in 6. The classification of cooking units in all Chinese foods was performed and the cooking frequency was deep frying>pan frying>boiling>stir frying>steaming>roasting. The proper amount of kochujang (weight ratio) was decided by pre-test of the Chinese head cook and Chinese food added kochujang was assessed by a Chinese focus group. The overall preference of Chinese food added kochujang was assessed highly and was related to the kinds of sauces, and to the kinds of main ingredients. The foods which used soy sauce or shang loa tau soy sauce were preferred. Sweetness by using kochujang wasn't preferred in several foods. Saltiness and aftertaste by using kochujang didn't affect the food preference, and the intensity of color and pungency were evaluated as a moderate level. An increased amount of kochujang would be possible in several foods. However, the increase in the amount of kochujang for intensive color and pungency in Chinese foods was directly related to the increase of sweetness, which had been discussed as the main problem in lowering the preference. Therefore, the screening of various Chinese foods harmonized with kochujang and the determination of the proper mixing ratio with Chinese sauces are very important. The results of this study could be used as basic data for the promotion of kochujang consumption in the Chinese market.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory properties of different almond gruels according to the concentration and pretreatment of the almonds. For the physicochemical parameters, pH, sweetness and viscosity decreased with an increasing almond content, while spreadability, lightness, redness, and yellowness increased. In addition, pH, sweetness, spreadability and viscosity decreased by using baked almonds. Also the L(lightness) and a(redness) color values increased by using baked almonds, whereas the b-value (yellowness) decreased. In the sensory evaluation flavor and nutty taste were significantly different(p<.001) among the samples. The overall preference scores also showed significant differences(p<.001) between the different concentrations of almond. The almond gruels containing 40%, 60%, and 80% almond showed higher preferences than the 0 and 20% concentrations.

Seoktanbyung, a traditional rice cake, was named in old literature, since from old times its taste was so good that one was not able to eat it without much regret. To suggest its standard preparing method, we prepared it by 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the moderate standard of ground pine nuts which had much influence on its own special soft texture. The result of the analysis was as follows: The water content of Seoktanbyung was $31.62{\sim}34.62%$. The degree of colour was L value: $48.17{\sim}56.88$, a value: $6.07{\sim}8.24$, and b value: $12.67{\sim}15.25$, and the higher the degree of the addition of ground pine nuts was, L value and a value were more or less decreased, but b value was increased. The measured result of texture was: as for hardness and gumminess, there was a significance (p<0.05) between Seoktanbyung with and without ground pine nuts, and as for cohesiveness, there was a significance (p<0.05) between Seoktanbyung added 20% of ground pine nuts and another material, but each material showed a similar value of measure. The result of sensory evaluation was: as for sweetness and flavor, there was no significance among material, so ground pine nuts had no influence on the sweetness and flavor of Seoktanbyung, and as for crumbness and chewiness, there was a significance between Seoktanbyung with and without ground pine nuts. The general degree of the taste was: Seoktanbyung added 20% of ground pine nuts was the highest among others.
