Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of anthocyanin pigment extract from Yangha (Zingiber mioga ROSC). Methods: Yangha extract was investigated for the effects of metal ion, temperature, light, heating time, sugars, and organic acids on the stability of anthocyanin pigments. Results: Yangha pigment was more stable than other anthocyanin pigments at unstable temperatures. The stability of anthocyanin pigment significantly decreased one day after exposure to light. All tested sugars decreased the abundance of Yangha pigments, with highest levels in the presence of sucrose, and progressive decrease in the presence of maltose, fructose, glucose and galactose, in order. Among the organic acids tested, citric acid and malic acid were the most effective in stabilizing the Yangha pigment, followed by acetic acid and formic acid. Most metal ions except $Fe^{2+}$ were effective in stabilizing the pigment. Conclusion: These results provide useful reference data for the use of pigments from Yangha in processed foods.

To investigate the characteristics of $Gammakgeolli$ to which processed forms of persimmon were added, $Gokkam$, $Gammalaengi$, whole powder, peel powder, and paste were used as various processed forms. The moisture, total polyphenol, and soluble-solid contents of the persimmon used for making $Gammakgeolli$ showed a big difference according to the processed form of persimmon, and influenced the total polyphenol and alcohol contents of the $Gammakgeolli$. The pH and total acid of the $Gammakgeolli$, which were 3.7~4.1 and 0.20~0.29% (w/v), respectively, were similar to those of commercial $Makgeolli$. The amino acidity increased on the fifth day after fermentation from that on the third day, and showed relatively high levels in the whole power, peel power, and paste. The volatile-acid contents of the $Gammakgeolli$s were within the range of 80~100 ppm and showed the highest level in the persimmon-paste-treated sample. Among the major organic acids of $Gammakgeolli$ (oxalic, citric, tartaric, malic, succinic, lactic, and acetic acid), lactic acid had the highest concentration. The $Gammakgeolli$ to which hole power or paste was added showed a high level of yellowness and a good color in the sensatory evaluation. In the sensory evaluation (selection rate) of the taste and overall acceptability, the $Gammakgeolli$ treated with $Gammalaengi$ was the best.

Foci of this thesis arc an estimation of willingness to pay and an establishment of green marketing strategics for environment-friendly agricultural products(EFAR). Estimations of willingness to pay for grain, vegetables, fruit and processed food-stuffs arc respectively 20.6%, 20.2%, 19.3% and 17.2% higher than agricultural products produced by conventional farming method. And a green mark6ting mix for EFAP is as follows; Erst, a product strategy focuses on producing safe and high-quality foods by environment-friendly agriculture(EFA) to point to consumer’s health and desire for environmental preservation. Second, in a price strategy, the balance of three factors should be kept, namely the environmental value the true quality as food materials and the price of EFAP. Third, a place strategy is to reduce waste matters, resource and energy uses in marketing chain, and to simplify marketing channels. Also, it is necessary to choose the marketing channel for price discrimination. Fourth, a promotion strategy make use of programs that emphasize the multi-function of EFA.

The contamination level of inorganic arsenic, a human carcinogen, was investigated in 87 grains and 66 processed grain foods. Two inorganic arsenic species arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) and four organic arsenic monomethylarsonic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, arsenobetaine, arsenocholine were analyzed using HPLC-ICP/MS with high separation and sensitivity and ICP/MS was used to quantify total arsenic. Inorganic arsenic was detected in all grains. And the total arsenic in grains consists of about 70-85% inorganic arsenic and about 10-20% DMA. The concentration of inorganic arsenic was high in rice and black rice cultivated in paddy soil with irrigated water, while the miscellaneous grain in field was low. Mean concentration of inorganic arsenic in rice germ, brown rice and polished rice was 0.160 mg/kg, 0.135 mg/kg, 0.083 mg/kg, respectively, indicating that rice bran contains more arsenic. In processed grain foods, inorganic arsenic concentration varied according to the kind of ingredients and content, and the detection amount was high in processed food with brown rice and germ. The arsenic content of all samples did not exceed each standard, but the intake frequency is high and it is considered that continuous monitoring is necessary for food safety.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of yogurt prepared with different mixing ratios of 'Jinpum ' bean and sword bean(Canavalin gladiata). The crude protein content of 'Jinpum' bean used raw material was 38.0%, whereas that of sword bean was 27.5%. The pH and sugar content of ferment solution were deceased significantly up to 4 hours after strain inoculation but reduced slowly artier 8 hours. The content of organic acid and lactic ferments were increased. After 20 hours fermentation there was no significant differences between yogurt processed with 100% 'Jinpum' bean and yogurt processed with 95% 'Jinpum' bean and 5% sword bean. The number of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt processed with 95% 'Jinpum' bean and 5% sword bean was increased up to 20 hours but thereafter was decreased rapidly, showing the similar values compared to that of yogurt processed with 100% 'Jinpum' bean. The color values of yogurt processed with 95% 'Jinpum' bean and 5% sword bean artier 20 hours fermentation were similar to that of yogurt processed with 100% 'Jinpum' bean whereas those of yogurt processed with 90% 'Jinpum' bean and 10% sword bean were no little difference before and after fermentation. In the result of sensory test of yogurt prepared with 95% 'Jinpum' bean and 5% sword bean, adding strawberry syrup was more preferred than apple syrup.

In order to enhance bioactive functionalities of ginseng, an acid impregnation processing was applied as a pre-treatment in producing red ginseng. Acid impregnation studies were conducted, and acids (ascorbic, malic, and citric acid) were selected. The optimal concentration of each acid was investigated in this study in terms of ginsenoside contents. The most concerned ginsenoside, $Rg_3$ was increased by ascorbic, malic, and citric acid pre-treated red ginseng up to 1 M acid concentration. In the case of ascorbic acid pre-treated red ginseng, $Rg_2$ concentration was increased depending on acid concentrations. Citric acid pre-treatment enhanced $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$, and $Rh_1+Rh_2$ formation in red ginseng. Therefore, ginsenoside patterns in red ginseng could be changed by acid impregnation pre-treatment depending on acid concentration and acid types. This research is expected to contribute to the development of the ginseng industry via new red ginseng products with selective and intensified functionality.

Food spoilage by fungi is responsible for considerable food waste and economical losses. Among the food products, fermented dairy products are susceptible to deterioration due to the growth of fungi, which are resistant to low pH and can proliferate at low storage temperatures. For controlling fungal growth in dairy products, potassium sorbate and natamycin are the main preservatives used, and natamycin is approved by most countries for use in cheese surface treatment. However, a strong societal demand for less processed and preservative-free food has emerged. In the dairy products, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are naturally present or used as cultures and play a key role in the fermentation process. Fermentation is a natural preservation technique that improves food safety, nutritional value, and specific organoleptic features. Production of organic acids is one of the main features of the LAB used for outcompeting organisms that cause spoilage, although other mechanisms such as antifungal peptides obtained from the cleavage of food proteins and competition for nutrients also play a role. More studies for better understanding these mechanisms are required to increase antifungal LAB available in the market.
