In 1492 year, the corn originated in America continent had spread all over the world after spreading into Europe by Columbus. Since the Corn had a similar shape with adlai's one (Yulmoo(율무)), it had been written by the different name of adlai (Yulmoo) at the "訓蒙字會(Hun-mong-ja-hoe)(1527)". Therefore we should consider "Hun-mong-ja-hoe" is the first record of the corn and it is a significant historic record in the civilization exchange between the Orient and the Occident that this record has the only difference of around 30 years later after the spreading corn to Europe. However, this is on the assumption that it is correct for a scholar of Korean literature to persist in that '叡山本' of "Hun-mong-ja-hoe" could be considered as the first edition. The corn had been once classified as a same kind of the Chinese millet because the people had been recognized the corn as a similar group of the Chinese millet and the Indian millet. The Chinese millet contains a summer vigor and becomes as an ingredient of alcoholic drink. And we can find out that $C_4$ type plant (such as corn, Chinese millet, Indian millet, foxtail millet) mostly have a tendency to belong to the food for "Taeumin(太陰人)", because of its high energy efficiency, a flourishing absorption of fertilizing and a strong emission power. The fried corn with a strong summer vigor and a raised feature has a good effect to the treatment of the teethridge disease. And the tea of corn with an warm feature, thanks to its functions of making the stomach and intestines comfortably as well as urination, is a proper food for the 'Taeumin" who is apt to overeat themselves.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum addition amount of Job's tears flour, in place of rice flour, in the preparation of Yulmoo Jeolpyon (Job's tears rice cake). The moisture contents of the Jeolpyon samples with added Job's tears flour were 43-45%. With increasing additions of Job's tears flour, the L-value decreased, whereas the a- and b-values increased. In the mechanical evaluation of the Job's tears Jeolpyon, hardness decreased with increasing amounts of Job's tears flour. Cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness were lower in the Jeolpyon samples with added Job's tears flour with more than 0% Job's tears flour, respectively. The adhesiveness did not differ significantly with the addition of Job's tears flour. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest at the 20% level of Job's tear flour. In conclusion the Jeolpyon made with 20% Job's tear flour to rice flour was found to be the best formulation, in terms of its overall acceptability and textural qualities.

The survey was carried out to obtain some fundmental data to improve the dietary life and to establish the nutritonal education and policy on inhabitants limed in isle area near by demilitarized zone in Korea. For this, 33 families in the area of Kyodong island located at Kanghwa-Gun, Kyungki province were randomly selected. Trained surveyors visited each house to survey the food and nutritional status in summer during 3 days in August, 1987. The results are summarized as follows ; The number of foods they were taking totalled 17 categories and 134 kinds of which 104 kinds were vegetable foods. The average amount of food intake was 1465.3g per person per day, animal food occupied 9.6% only. The intake amount of fruit among vegetable foods, and fishes, shells, milk and eggs among animal foods was lower than the national average. Each proportion of carbohydrates fat and protein to the total energy intake was 70.4%, 9.7% and 19.9%. The foods they used to take a lot were rice, potatoes. cucumbers, cabbage KIMCHIE and YULMOO KIMCHIE in order of their intake amount. The energy intake was 3064 Kcal which is higher than nutritional requirements, and the energy ratio of cereals to the total energy in take is 76%. If the amount of fat intake is fixed to 20% of total energy intake, the amount of fat intake is 68g, but the actual amount of fat intake was only 33g. With an increase of total energy intake, supply of calcium and vitamin A should be increased much more.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the soil temperature. the characteristics of seedling growth and drought resistance of Job's tears under different seeding depth. The changes of soil temperature were similar to the patterns of atmosphere temperature. and the minimum and maximum temperature of the day were at 08: 00 and 16: 00 hours, respectively, and this was 1 hour late compared to the atmospheric temperature. In mean temperature under different soil depth, 3cm and 4cm soil depth were the same as $27.3^{\circ}C$ which was higher than that at 1cm and 2cm soil depth. Percentage of emergence was 81.2% at 4cm soil depth in Yulmoo 1 ho and 88.0% at 3cm soil depth in Yunchon 9 ho, respectively. Days to emergence after seeding was shortest at 1cm seeding depth as about 9 days and was 2 to 3 days later at other soil depth of 2, 3, 4cm compared to 1cm soil depth plot. Plant height and dry matter weight was highest at 3cm soil depth in Yulmoo 1 ho and at 4cm soil depth in Yunchon 9 ho. In the drought conditions, percent of survived plant was highest at 4cm soil depth plot of both varieties as 51.3% and 60.0%, respectively. In the drought conditions, soil depth was positively correlated with % of emergence, days to emergence after seeding, plant height, and dry matter weight per plant.

This study compared and analyzed the physiochemical and quality characteristics of young radish kimchi made with YR-FNC or YR-GC cultivated by organic farming as well as kimchi made with young radish cultivated by chemical composting/general farming (YR-Control). YR-Control showed higher contents of water and crude protein than YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi but lower contents of crude ash, dietary fiber, and vitamin C. YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi also showed higher contents of P and Cu than YR-Control but lower contents of N, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Zn. YR-Control fermentation progressed faster than that of YR-FNC or YR-GC after 24 days, and YR-Control more rapidly reached an appropriate pH. On the other hand, YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi fermentation progressed slow and did not reach a pH level below 5.3. For period of fermentation, YR-Control and YR-FNC kimchi showed no significant difference in reducing sugar content, whereas that of YR-GC kimchi decreased significantly after 24 days of fermentation (P<0.002). YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi showed 1.5~3 times higher total polyphenol and flavonoid contents than YR-Control at the beginning of fermentation, whereas YR-Control and YR-FNC kimchi showed a significant increase in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents during the fermentation period. By day 7 of fermentation, YR-FNC kimchi showed higher contents of lactic acid bacteria and total microbes than YR-Control. In the sensory evaluation, YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi showed higher preference values than YR-Control. Therefore, kimchi made from young radish cultivated by organic farming has a longer freshness period than control kimchi and is characterized by excellent sensory quality, increased physiological contents, and improved beneficial health effects.
