In order to determine the quality of Citrus unshiu(medium cultivar of satsuma mandarin) produced in Cheju, citrus fruits sampled at sorting places and harvested directly on citrus tree in south and north area of Cheju were analyzed. The fruits were grown in size till early of November, and soluble solids were increased continuously after that. Compared with the quality of citrus fruits as a factor of soluble solids, firmness, total sugar, pH, and color index, the optimum harvest periods were supposed to be reasonable from early of December for C. unshiu Marc. var. yonezawa and C. unshiu Marc. var. hayashi, Fruit weights and peel thickness had a linear correlation with increasing fruit size, but soluble solids and acid contents had not a correlation. The selection of C. unshiu variety was needed to determine by the properties of storage.

The functional Jeungpyuns with dietary fiber containing cereals such as brown rice and barley flour were developed and physiochemical properties were investigated. The water binding capacity had significantly the highest value of 28.4% in raw rice flour, followed by brown rice flour and barley flour. The lowest reducing sugar value was seen in unpolished rice substituted Jeungpyun with value of 5.420 (P<0.05). The amount of reducing sugar decreased slightly after steaming, due to the increased degree of sugar dissociation. The L value of the lightness decreased significantly with the substituted samples (P< 0.05). The barley substituted samples were darker than that of brown rice sample groups with less green and yellow color. Microstructures of starch particles after fermentation showed completely dispersed starch particles with air bubbles and sponge-like structure in all samples after steaming. Thus, functional Jeungpyun replaced with brown rice and barley flour can be successfully formulated and has been influenced by the physicochemical properties.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the physicochemcal Properties of the cowpea crude and refined starch and to present the basic data for physicochemical factor which gives the properties of Mook to cowpea starch gel. Water binding capacity of crude starch was 235. In and that of refined starch was 186.0%. The pattern of change in swelling power and solubility for increasing temperature started to increase at $60^{\circ}C$ and increased rapidly from $70^{\circ}C$, for both of crude and refined starch. The optical transmittance of 0.2% crude and refined starch suspensions were increased from $65^{\circ}C$ and showed rapid increasement during 68~$80^{\circ}C$, and their curves showed two-stage processes. The gelatinization pattern for 6n crude and refined starch suspensions were investigated by the Brabender amylograph. The corves showed the pasting temperature of $72.0^{\circ}C$ and $72.1^{\circ}C$, peak height of 11303.U. ($88.0^{\circ}C$) and 970 B.U. ($83.5^{\circ}C$) for crude and refined starch, respectively, and both showed high viscosities when cooling. Blue values for crude and refined starch were 0.369 and 0.376 respectively. Alkali number of crude and refined starch were 7.77 and 7.34, and reducing values were 3.60 and 2. 10, respectively. Amylose content of cowpea starch was 33.7%. Periodate oxidation of the starch fractions resulted that amylose had the average molecular weight of 23590, degree of polymerization of 146 and amylopectin had the degree of branching of 3.42, glucose unit per segment of 29.
