This research was conducted to compare the quality of paprika ($Capsicum$ $annuum$ L.) packed with PLA film and OPP/PE film pouches during storage at $6^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of paprika fruit was higher in OPP/PE film pouches, mold decay was shown in OPP/PE pouches after 6 days, but was not yet shown in PLA pouches. Hardness decreased in all packages. Soluble solid content was highest in PLA1 film pouch, vitamin C content was also highest in PLA2. Mold decay was not shown in PLA pouches after 9 day, but shown at calyx of paprika fruit in OPP/PE pouches. Off-flavor was strong in the OPP/PE pouches when the pouches were opened, decay was also serious in the same pouches after 15 days and thus quality was inadequate for sale in market.

The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family, native to south-central China. It is cultivated in relatively warm areas such as Spain, Japan and South Korea. It is used commercially as an ornamental plant and for its yellow fruit, which contains much carotenoid, sugar and a little organic acid. In this study, chiffon cakes were prepared with the addition of 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% loquat fruit powder (LFP) in order to invest the mixing conditions. When more LFP was added to the dough, the pH level of the dough became lower. Specific gravity and viscosity of the dough significantly increased as higher amounts of LFP were added. In baked cakes, the weight and baking loss rate of LFP were not significantly different between samples, and the height of the risen test samples were lower than that of the controls. Moisture content was 33.58% in the 12% LFP sample (12% LFPS), which was the highest of all the samples. With respect to crust color, lightness, redness and, yellowness, these significantly decreased as the amount of LFP was increased, the 12% LFP being the lowest of all the samples. Lightness and yellowness of crumbs significantly decreased as the amount of LFP was increased, whereas redness showed the reverse effect. When looking at hardness and adhesiveness, the 12% LFPS was the highest of all the samples, nevertheless a difference in resilience was not significant among the samples. According to consumer perception, bitterness was significantly increased as amounts of LFP increased, however a difference in salty, astringency and oily tastes were not significant among the samples. The 12% LFPS showed the lowest score with respect to softness and overall acceptability. In conclusion, LFP could be considered a functional material, with the optimum amount of LFP for a chiffon cake of 3~9%.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of guavapyun after the addition of different ratios of extract (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0%), non-extract and vitamin C. The quality if the pyun containing 0.5% of the guava fruit extract (guavapyun) and vitamin C was higher compared with the quality of the control pyun. In the results of the proximatecomposition, the content of water was high in the control pyun relative to the vitamin C pyun and guavapyun and the carbohydrate, ash, crude lipid and protein content was high in guavapyun. The sweetness, pH and color (L, a, b value) were very high in the samples. The texture, hardness, chewiness and gumminess were significantly high in the control pyun and the adhesiveness and cohesiveness were high in guavapyun. However, there were no significant differences in springiness between the control and the added samples. The total phenolic content was higher in guavapyun (23.57 mg GAE/100 g) than the control pyun (18 mg GAE/100 g) and vitamin C pyun(15.05 mg GAE/100 g). The antioxidant activities determined by the DPPH method and ABTS method was higher in guavapyun (41.37 mM TE/g, 15.35 mM TE/g) than the control pyun (4.43 mM TE/g, 2.17mM TE/g) and vitamin C pyun (11.33 mM TE/g, 4.51 mM TE/g). Using the FRAP method, guavapyun(9.06 mM TE/g) was shown to exhibit a stronger ferrous ion chelating activity than the control pyun (4.49mM TE/g) and vitamin C pyun (7.03 mM TE/g). Thus, the studied indigenous guavapyun was high in both antioxidative activity and total phenolic content.

This research intends to examine the quality characteristics of madeleines after adding drying frozen mulberries by freeze drying and hot-air drying, making them powdered. The general ingredients and physiochemical characteristics of each specimen were measured, compared and analyzed. Madeleines were made based on the recipe set in practical examination of bakery technicians, in which each specimen is added with 0%(control), 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% of mulberry powder depending on the quantity of flour. And then, pH, chromaticity and texture were measured and consumer preferences were grasped by sensory testing. The test results are as follows. First of all, pH was low in the group added with hot-air drying mulberry powder. In chromaticity, brightness(L value) was reduced in comparison with the control group as the addition rates of freeze-drying mulberry powder and hot-air drying mulberry powder increased. Red chromaticity(a value) increased more when adding hot-air drying mulberry powder rather than freeze-drying mulberry powder. Yellow chromaticity(b value) was reduced as addition of mulberry powder increased. Hardness and elasticity of the group added with freeze-drying mulberry powder showed significant differences as addition of mulberry powder increased. Cohesiveness and gumminess was reduced as the addition increased. Hardness of madeleines added with hot-air drying mulberry powder showed significant differences by addition rates of mulberry powder. Elasticity increased by the quantity of mulberry addition. Cohesiveness was reduced as the addition was reduced. Gummines increased as the addition increased. As the result of sensory test on preference, the preferences of the group added with 5% of freeze-drying mulberry powder and the group added with 7% of hot-air drying mulberry powder were the highest.

Various contents of Rosa rugosa Thunb. fruit(0, 10, 20%), which is grown along the seashore of Gangwon province, were applied to apple jams having different sugar concentrations(20, 40, 60%). The resulting jams were analyzed using a sensory scoring test as well as a response surface methodology to identify the optimum conditions for the preparation of high-preference apple jams. The sensory properties based on sense of sight, smell and taste appeared to be linked to the sugar contents. It could be attributed to the presence of flavor compounds and pigments generated from the caramelization of sugar molecules during heat processing. On the other hand, rheological properties such as viscosity and spreadability were associated with Rosa rugosa fruit content, which was also verified by textural analysis of the jams. As the contents of Rosa rugosa increased, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the jams decreased, which eventually might have contributed to the less thick and thus more spreadable sensory characteristics. Sensory evaluation revealed that apple jams were preferred when prepared with $\leq$10% of Rosa rugosa fruit and $\geq$55% of sugar contents. In particular, apple jams containing 10% Rosa rugosa and 60% sugar showed better mechanical qualities as well as higher sensory preference among 10 jams formulated using central composite design.

The effects of coagulant types (magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, calcium sulfate, glucono-${\delta}$-lactone) on yield, quality properties and storability of astringent persimmon powder added tofu were investigated. Yield, hardness, chewness, crispness, and overall acceptability of tofu coagulated by glucono-${\delta}$-lactone were higher than those coagulated by the others. L value, a value, pH, soaking-solution turbidity, and total aerobic bacteria of glucono-${\delta}$-lactone coagulated tofu were lower than those coagulated by the others. Calcium sulfate and calcium chloride coagulated tofu showed relatively high L and b values. Magnesium chloride coagulated tofu had higher sensory score for firmness, taste, overall acceptability than calcium chloride and calcium sulfate coagulated tofu, but there was no significant difference between magnesium chloride and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone. The results suggested that glucono-${\delta}$-lactone and magnesium chloride were found to be the suitable coagulants for processing of the persimmon powder added tofu.

The incorporation of Shiitake culture into sawdust is a widely utilized technique that can assist in reducing the cost and time consumption associated with oak cultivation. In sawdust cultivation, browning of the surface mycelia is an important stage with respect to the utility and longevity of the sawdust media. Surface browning forms a protective coating on the substrate, which can inhibit the invasion of pathogens and suppress water evaporation. Several different light sources (red LED, white LED, blue LED, and fluorescent light) were used and the intensity of illumination was carefully controlled (1.5, 10.5, $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for LEDs and 10, 100, 300 lux for the fluorescent light) to induce browning. The light sources were regulated via a 1 h on/off cycle in a controlled room environment at a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, 60% humidity, and 1200 ppm $CO_2$ concentration for 60days. The browning effect varied depending on the source and the intensity of illumination. This effect was most effectively induced at $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for the red and blue LEDs. All light sources induced less browning at the highest intensity of illumination. This indicates that intensity values higher than $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ in the case of the LEDs and 300 lux for the fluorescent light are not effective. After harvesting of the fruit bodies, we measured the weight, length, and width of the pileus and stipe in addition to their chromaticity and hardness. Treatment with $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ blue LED produced the best harvest with the highest average chromaticity, weight (21.2 g), stipe length (30.8 mm), and hardness (377.9 g), with a fine length and width of the pileus.

This study was carried to investigate suitable additive materials and its mixing ratio in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. The main substrate for Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation was poplar sawdust plus with waste cotton at the ratio 1 : 1 (v/v). Using pot diameter and substrate weight were 12 cm and 1 kg/pot, respectively. The higher amount of additives resulted in higher total nitrogen content and C/N ratio of substrate also decreased according to increasing mixing ratio of additives. The supplementation of cotton seed flour more than 20% caused the failure of devolopment of fruit body. The hardness of substrate in supplementation of rice bran after mycelial growth was highest any other additives. The ratio of harvest was highest in supplementation of beet pulp, $75{\sim}85%$. The fruit bodies yield and biological efficiency of supplemented with 20% beet pulp were highest during second flush.

Cooking characteristics of coated rice with water homogenate of citrus fruit peels (1% for rice) were investigated. The color of the coated rice both before and after cooking was dark yellow. The total content of carotenoids, hesperidin and naringin were 10.74, 2173.12 and 1468.40 mg% for citrus fruit peels, 0.46, 108.65 and 73.35 % for its water homogenate, 0.12, 21.73 and 14.62 mg% for coated rin, and 0.05, 8.67 and 5.87 mg% fur cooked coated rice, respectively. Citrus fruits peel contained 94.22 mg% of asparagine, 24.88 mg% of methionine, 19.64 mg% of alanine, and 15.37 mg% of ${\gamma}$-aminoisobutyric acid as the majority free amino acids, accounting for 70% of the total free amino acids present. Total free amino acid content of the cooked coated rice increased by 15% compared to those of cooked uncoated rice. The majority of minerals in the citrus fruit peels were K and Ca, accounting for 56% of total minerals present. The mineral content of cooked coated rice was generally higher than that of the cooked uncoated rice. The cooked coated rice showed comparable hardness, gumminess and brittleness, but higher cohesiveness and springiness than the cooked uncoated rice. There were no differences in sweet and bitter taste between the cooked uncoated and coated rice. However, the cooked coated rice showed higher sensory scores fur color acceptability, savory taste and overall acceptability than the cooked uncoated rice.
