The main aim of this study was to develop carrot soups with fishery products, which is improved from traditional gruel of Cheju island. For this the optimal procedure and ingredient mixing ratio for making basic carrot soup was determined through the instrumental measurement, the sensory evaluation and the nutrient analysis, and then the carrot-fishery soups were prepared by mixing the fishery products from Cheju island. The results were as follows: The optimal procedure for making basic carrot soup was to saute the sliced carrots and soaked rices with the sesame oil for 5 min, add the water, bring to a boil for 6 min, simmer for 15 min, then puree the soup. The optimal ingredient mixing ratio in the basic carrot soup was carrot 300 g: rice 45 g: water 900 $m\ell$: sesame oil 15 $m\ell$: salt 5 g. For preparing carrot-fishery soups were the optimal fishery products mixing ratio i) 30% tile fish or crab, ii) prawn, abalone, top shell, or ear shell 20%, iii) sea urchin 15%, iv) fusiform or gulf weed 5％. The order of sensory evaluation scores, on a 5-point scale, were sea urchin, crab > top shell, tile fish > abalone, ear shell > prawn > coral fish > fusiform, gulf weed. Nutrient composition analysis showed that vitamin A was 5 times higher in carrot soup than in pumpkin soup. Sensory evaluation scores show that carrot soup was prepared to pumpkin soup. A portion (200 g) of the soup would provide 144% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. The results of this work indicate that an acceptable carrot-fishery soups of better nutritional and sensory values than pumpkin soup can be prepared.

A new low-sugar yogurt with carrot jam was developed by reflecting consumers' demands of yogurt and the characteristics required for the development of new yogurt. To examine the storage stability of yogurt containing carrot jam, the yogurt was stored in a refrigerator at 4℃ for 21 days, and changes in pH and titratable acidity were examined at 3-day intervals. Nine nutrient contents of yogurt were analyzed to compare the sugar content of the control and carrot jam-added yogurt. Considering the health functionality of new yogurt, when questioned about the appropriate amount of sugar content in yogurt, numerous respondents indicated that they wanted the sugar content to be reduced by about 1 to 5% (73.3%) compared with existing products and that the taste should remain similar to existing products (32.2%). The pH and titratable acidity of yogurt with 4% carrot jam were measured during storage, and it was found that the yogurt had excellent storage properties up to the twenty-first day of production. According to the result for the nutrient contents of yogurt with 4% carrot jam, it was found that the total carbohydrate content, including the dietary fiber content of carrots, was 9.3% while the sugar content was 4.7% which was lower than the sugar content of the control group of 7.0%. Considering the above results, it is expected that the consumption of Jeonnam regional specialties will be promoted through commercialization research on yogurt with carrot jam, which can meet consumers' health needs and perceptions toward the new yogurt.

Protopectinases are heterologous group of enzymes that degrades insoluble protopectin which consists of middle lamella between cells of plant tissues. Tissues of potato and carrot could be separated to single cells by addition of protopectinase isolated from Rhizopus sp. Color changes ofthe suspensions treated with protopectinase and mechanically macerated after 2 weeks at 4$^{\circ}C$, were investigated. Color change of the latter was very serious, however, that of the former was insignificant. Furthermore, after heat treatment at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 5min, the constituents of mechanically macerted carrot suspension were separated into two layers, but those of single celled carrot were not. Yields of carrot juices extracted from single celled suspensions and mechanical maceration were 93.6% and 56.0%, respectively. These results support that treatment of protopectinase can increase yield of juices extracted from plant, and manufacture high value-added products in food processing.

Objective: Effect of addition of wheat bran (WB) and dried carrot pomace (DCP) on sensory, textural, colour, physico-chemical and nutritional characteristics of chicken sausage were evaluated. Methods: WB and DCP were used as a source of dietary fibre at 3%, 6%, and 9% level individually. Different quality attributes of sausages were estimated. One product from each source with very good sensory acceptability was selected to analyze dietary fibre content and shelf life under refrigerated storage. Results: Sensory acceptability of 3% fibre enriched sausage was comparable with control and a further increase in fibre level resulted in a decrease in sensory acceptability. Fibre enriched sausages were significantly harder and less cohesive than control sausage. Significant increase in gumminess and chewiness was observed at 6% level in WB treated sausages and 9% level in DCP treated sausages. Moisture content decreased significantly in all treated sausages, protein content decreased significantly in DCP-2 and DCP-3 sausages while fat content decreased in all WB and DCP-3 treated sausages in comparison to control. The fibre enriched sausage had significantly higher dietary fibre and lower cholesterol content. Cooking yield and emulsion stability increased in treated sausages and a significant difference was noticed at 6% level in both types of sausages. pH of WB treated sausages was significantly higher and DCP treated sausage significantly lower in comparison to control. Conclusion: The results of present study indicate that fibre enriched chicken sausage with moderate acceptability can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP each up to 9% level. Chicken sausage with very good acceptability, higher dietary fibre content and storability up to 15 days at refrigerated temperature can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP at 6% level each.

Coloring agents in food materials plays important roles in the development of attractive products as well as in the functionality of food such as antioxidant or vitamin supplementation. Carrot has been used as an orange coloring agent in the decoration of food but also a major source of vitamin A complex. Though orange has been considered a typical color of carrot, the Rainbow carrot has been developed recently, which exhibit the various colors such as red, pale yellow, purple, orange or their mixtures. After categorization onto 8 groups by their colors, vitamin A complex (${\beta}$-carotene, lycopene and lutein) and soluble sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) have been analyzed in carrots. The ${\beta}$-carotene was abundant in the groups of orange (Group-O) or groups with the orange color (group-OP, and group-YOP). The content of lycopene content was exclusively high in the red color carrot (group-R). The highest lutein contents were observed from the yellow-purple (group-YP) group. Meanwhile, little amounts of lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene were observed in yellow-purple (group-YP) nor yellow (group-Y) on yellow (group-Y). Among the reducing sugars in 'rainbow carrots', the amount of sucrose was two times higher than those of fructose and glucose. However, the content of glucose, fructose and sucrose as well as the total reducing sugars did not differ between color groups suggesting little variations on their tastes.

Blends of pork meat (20%), defatted soy flour (25%), and corn starch (48.61~53.71%) were prepared with or without additional non-meat ingredients, i.e., onion powder (1%), alone or in combination with carrot powder (1.5%) or extract (1.5%), or defatted oat flour (5%). All blends were formulated for 22.78% moisture, with water added where necessary. They were extruded using a laboratory single-screw extruder at 16$0^{\circ}C$ profess temperature and 170 rpm screw speed. The additional ingredients generally decreased product expansion and increased bulk density and shear force. When the product with no additional ingredient and the product with onion powder were evaluated by trained sensory panelists, \"grain complex\" was the most intense flavor note for both. With 1 % onion powder in feed, a distinct \"onion\" flavor note was detectable in extrudates. All the products may be considered \"healthful\" based on nutrient profiles.t; based on nutrient profiles.

Enterobacter sakazakii, designated as an unique microbial species in 1980, may cause bacteremia, necrotizing enterocolitis and infant meningitis. The distribution and the thermostability of E. sakazakii in unprocessed ready-to-eat (RTE) agricultural products of 252 and in 25 powdered infant formulas (PIF) were analyzed. Eighty one, 50, 43, and 47% of brown rice, pumpkin, potato, and carrot samples, respectively, had aerobic plate counts (ARC) in the range of 5 log CFU/g or more. Almost all the other products sampled had APC of approximately 2 log CFU/g. Fifty three, 75, 67, and 68% of banana, pumpkin, soybean, and carrot had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 3 log CFU/g. Sixty six percent of the brown rice tested had Enterobacteriaceae counts approximating 5-6 log CFU/g. E. sakazakii was isolated from 3/25(12%), 4/23(17%), 1/24(4%), and 1/27(4%) of PIF, brown rice, laver, and tomato samples, respectively. D-values were 3.52-4.79 min at 60 and $D_{60}-values$ were similar as the isolates reported. Thermal inactivation of four thermovariant E. sakazakii strains during the rehydration of PIF with hot water were investigated. At $50^{\circ}C$, the levels of E. sakazakii decreased one log CFU/g for 4-6 min and thereafter the levels remained stable for 20 min. At $60^{\circ}C$, inactivation by about 2 log CFU/g occurred for 20 min. Therefore, the unprocessed agricultural products might be a source of contamination for PIF when used as an ingredient after drying and pulverization. Rehydration of PIF for infant feeding with a water temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ rather than $50^{\circ}C$, as recommended by the manufacturers, may be helpful in the reduction of potential E. sakazakii risk.

Measurement methods of moisture content were compared with 7 dried vegetables (red pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and radish). The moisture contents of dried vegetables having different moisture contents were determined by atmospheric oven drying, infrared balance, vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods. Vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods gave the relatively agreed results and considered to give the accurate moisture content. Atmospheric oven drying and infrared balance methods resulted in higher moisture content than methods mentioned above, because of the thermal decomposition of solid. Calibration of the moisture data of atmospheric oven drying method into the vacuum oven data was undertaken. The thermodecomposable solid fraction was high in onion, radish, green onion and carrot, and was in the range of 8.0-11.7% of the total solid in these products.

A concept of household container to create and keep the modified atmosphere (MA) beneficial for fresh produce mix was devised and tested under typical chilled storage conditions of 3℃. The container system containing mixed products is initialized by applying weak hypobaric condition (0.9 atm) and subsequently injecting CO₂ gas at an appropriate low level (0.03 atm). The passive atmosphere modification by produce respiration is then induced to reach a target until gas diffusion tube of proper dimension starts to open. The design was made to attain quasi-steady state mass balance of O₂, CO₂ and N₂ to maintain the desired MA through the storage. Interrupted opening for taking out or placing some products was to reinitialize the loop of control logic. The developed concept was tested by the container which held commodities of spinach, pak choi, oyster mushroom, peeled onion, strawberry and cut carrot. The target optimum MA of 11% O₂ and 10% CO₂ (0.11 and 0.10 atm, respectively) was set to avoid injurious range of O₂ and CO₂ concentrations for any commodities. The developed container system could work to reach and maintain beneficial MA of 0.10-0.12 atm O₂ and 0.07-0.10 atm CO₂ close to the target during the storage contributing to quality retention of products measured in weight loss, chlorophyll content of spinach, ascorbic acid content of pak choi, color of onion, texture of oyster mushroom, bacterial count of strawberry and carotenoids of carrot. The container system shows potential to improve current preservation practice of fresh produce mix on consumers' level.
