Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of persimmon jelly products with different levels (3, 5, and 7% w/w) of Daebong ripened persimmon puree was investigated. The moisture content of all jelly products used in this experiments was maintained within $8{\pm}2%$ of the products. Levels of crude chemical composition (moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ashes), texture, soluble materials, vitamin C, dietary fiber and ${\beta}$-carotene were increased as amount of puree addition increased in the products. Color values, $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ of the persimmon jelly products were 33.08-42.04, 0.93-1.31 and 8.85-11.21, respectively. There was no significant difference in pH (5.51-5.61) as the levels of Daebong ripened persimmon puree increased. Sensory evaluation in terms of appearance, color, taste, flavor, chewiness, and overall acceptance resulted in the highest score in the persimmon jelly product with 5% level of Daebong ripened persimmon puree. In conclusion, level of Daebong ripened persimmon puree affected color value, texture and vitamin C, dietary fiber, and ${\beta}$-carotene content of the persimmon jelly products. In addition, optimum level of Daebong ripened persimmon puree would be 5% for manufacturing the persimmon jelly product.

The objectives of this research were to investigate changes in characteristics of whole frozen soft persimmon during storage, and to evaluate effects of blanching and addition of ascorbic acid on the quality of frozen soft persimmon puree. Reducing sugar, soluble solids and carotenoids contents in frozen soft persimmon did not change significantly during storage, while ascorbic acid of whole frozen soft persimmon and puree was continuously decreased during 8 months of storage. Whole frozen soft persimmon thawed at low temperature or by microwave oven did not show remarkable quality differences, whereas thawing puree resulted in a drastic decrease in consistency. Addition of ascorbic acid to puree reduced browning discoloration, but blanching puree caused significant loss of color and increase of consistency.

Daebong persimmon puree (DPP) prepared from removing the astringency of persimmon was used as a substitute for water when making the dough of white pan bread using domestic wheat flour, and the resulting, quality characteristics were investigated. The moisture content of DPP was 96.69%, and the dough was made by various levels of substitution of DPP for water (0, 10, 30, 50 and 100%). During fermentation, the expansion power of the dough decreased with increasing DPP levels (p<0.05). The volume, specific volume, baking loss, and the L and ${\Delta}E$ values of the crust and crumb of the breads also decreased with increasing DPP levels. The hardness and chewiness of the bread containing 100% DPP (without water) showed the highest values, but the springiness, cohesiveness and resilience showed the opposite trends. In the difference tests, all attributes except air cell uniformity were significantly different (p<0.05). Bread made with 100% substitution of DPP for water achieved the highest scores for flavor, taste and overall acceptability.

The persimmon puree was hydrolyzed with commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes, Viscozyme and Celluclast and jam was prepared with the enzyme treated persimmon juice by addition of pectin. The textural characteristics of the jam were studied for the effects of pectin addition and storage temperature. When the persimmon jam was prepared with the enzyme treated juice with addition of pectin(2.2∼3.0%), the hardness of the go] was stabilized at the addition level of more than 2.8% as measured by %sag. The hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and gumminess were also significantly increased as the amount of pectin addition increased, whereas the cohesiveness and elasticity did not change significantly. The gel prepared with the puree hydrolyzed with Celluclast generally showed higher hardness, gumminess and adhesiveness and less cohesiveness and elasticity than those treated with Viscozyme. Higher temperature (17$^{\circ}C$) caused a significant decrease in most of the textural properties except elasticity. Results of sensory test showed the orange colors was much improved by the Celluclast treatment, while other characteristics such as total acceptability and texture were not significantly different.

The ground persimmon puree was treated with two kinds of commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes (Viscozyme and Celluclast) in order to study their effects on the extraction yield, viscosity, color, titratable acidity and sugars. Hydrolysis with Viscozyme which has enzymatic activity of arabinase, cellulase, xylanase, hemicellulase and ${\beta}-glucanase$ significantly increased the extraction yield, L-value and reducing sugar and decreased in viscosity by treatment for 10 min at $50^{\circ}C$. The extraction yield of the juice was increased from 42.7% to 80% by Viscozyme while the Celluclast to 73.3%. On the other hand, the sensory properties of persimmon-like flavor, scarlet and orange color were greatly improved for the juice hydrolyzed with Viscozyme for 60 min.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to establish a fruit-cooking method suitable for older adults with masticatory dysfunction. MATERIALS/METHODS: Five types of fruits were selected to make fruit jelly and puree: apple, sweet persimmon, mandarin, Korean melon, and watermelon. Recipes were selected based on the Korean Industrial Standard (KS) for senior-friendly foods (KS H 4897), which classifies foods into 3 levels (L1-L3) based on their hardness and viscosity. RESULTS: In South Korea, senior-friendly foods are classified into 3 stages based on their hardness. Stage 1 is for foods that are able to eat with teeth (hardness greater than 50,000 N and less than 500,000 N), Stage 2 is for foods that are able to eat with gums (hardness greater than 20,000 N and less than 50,000 N), and Stage 3 is for foods that are able to eat with the tongue (hardness less than 20,000 N). As a result of measuring the hardness by varying the shape of the fruit, it was found that nearly all fruits could be eaten fresh by chewing with the teeth (L1) but did not meet the KS for mastication using the gums (L2) or tongue (L3), so the cooking method was selected as fruit jelly and fruit puree. Only sweet persimmon, which had a hardness of 61,624-496,393 N, was not suitable for consumption in fresh fruit, unprocessed form. Based on their hardness measurements, fruit jellies (27,869 to 36,343 N) and fruit purees (315 to 1,156 N) met the L2 and L3 requirements, respectively. The viscosity results of all fruit purees met the L3 requirement. CONCLUSION: These results offer a simple cooking method to prepare texture-modified fruits suitable for safe consumption by older adults living with masticatory difficulties in general households and nursing facilities.
