Potato slices were dipped in calcium choreide ar chitosan solutions or and preheated in each of these solutions. In order to prevent the quality deterioration while they were refrigerated for 4 weeks at 5$^{\circ}C$ Changes in degree of browning and other quality factors were determined while they were refrigerated for 4 weeks at 5$^{\circ}C$ During refrigeration, L values were decreased and optical density (A420) were increased. But L values were increased and A420 were decreased by dipping or preheating. The contents of vitamin C were decreased. however, the loss of vitmin C were the lowest in calcium chloride treaed potato slices(CaPS). And there were no combined effects of dipping and preheating during refrigeration. However, protein content of CaPS increased but that of other treated potato slices were decreased compared to that of control. With respect to changes in other physicochemical qualit, pH increased in chitosan treated potato slices(ChPS) and loss of weight was the lowest in combined with preheating. From these results, it was considered that the shelf-life of potato slices could be increased by dipping or-and preheating.

Potato slices were dipped in solution of 2% CaCl$_2$, and 1% chitosan or preheated in each of these solutions for refrigeration for 4 weeks at 5$^{\circ}C$. Changes in L value, content of total phenol and chlorogenic acid and po lyphenol oxidase activity were determined. During refrigeration, it was found that L values of potato slices treated with CaCl$_2$, (CaPS) and those treated with chitosan (ChPS) increased. Contents of total phenol and chlorogenic acid of potato slices decreased, While potato slices preheated in CaCl, solution (Hcaps) showed much decreases. And polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of potato slices decreased except CaPS and decreases in PPO activities were much larger in preheated potato slices. From these results, of those treatments used, chitosan treatment combined with preheating have shown to be effective to control enzymatic browning of potato slices during refrigeration.

Tomato soil pathogens(Phythopthora spp.) analyed high rates in series culture soil and existed in culture parts. To make a diagnosis of Phythopthora sp. and Its concentration, potato slices were manufactured to a round shape(2.5cm) or retangular form(1x4cm). and then, The potato slices dipped into diagnostic reagents with an antibiotic substance for 2∼4hours. Potato slices treated with a few reagents varied into 15cm depths in innoculated soils for 24hrs. Mycelium of the Phytophthora root rot fungus, Phythopthora capsici, were produced easily on potato slice. We collected many potato slice samples on diseased fields in various area. After storage of 24hrs in 20$^{\circ}C$ incubator, White mycelium of Phythopthora sp. formed on potato slice surface. Dilute concentrations of Phythopthora sp. was detected very low contents(1${\times}$10$^1$sporangia/g). But expressing Phythopthora root rots on potato slice did not developed larger lesions upon storage time in room temperature. These results suggest that the use of potato slice in a series of soil cultural system may still serve as efficient means of diagnosis of Phythopthora root rots in the absence of control measures.

Three potato cultivars, Sumi,Daejima and Namjak, were prepared as slices. They were dipped in distilled water for 20 seconds. The potato slices were packed in polyethylene bags and stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Browning degree, total phenol and chlorogenic acid contents and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity were measured. And the correlation analysis of browning parameters were conducted. The results were as follows. There were increase in browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity during cold storage of potato slices with different cultivars. Among three cultivars, Sumi showed the highest browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity and also showed the highest % increse of browning and PPO activity during cold storage. On the contrary, Daejima was the lowest. But Daejima showed the highest % increase in phenolic contents during cold storage. With Sumi, browning degree was significantly correlated with PPO activity and phenolic contents (p<0.05). With Daejima and Namjak, a significant correlation was found between browning degree and PPO activity (p<0.05). From the above results, enzymatic browning reactions of potato slices and factors affecting them were dependent on cultivar. Among the tested three cultivars, Daejima showed the lowest browning degree during cold storage and thus seems to be desirable for minimal processing.

Three potato cultivars were prepared as slices and stored for 4 weeks at $5^{\circ}C$. Changes in Vitamin C content and other quality factors, such as color, pH, soluble solid and protein content were determined. Vitamin C content and L value decreased in three potato cultivars. Initial Vitamin C contents of three potato cultivars varied from 49.27 mg% in Sumi to 56.40 mg% in Namjak. Changes in L value showed that the tendency of browning in Daejima was slower than Sumi and Namjak. Changes in pH were small. Soluble solids and protein content increased and varied by cultivar. From the correlation analysis, correlation between browning degree and Vitamin C content was low in three potato cultivars.

The oxygen consumption of fresh and aged slices of potato tuber was 40.6 and 168.0 ,$0_2$ $\mu$l/g fr $wt{\cdot}h$, respectively. After initial burst of oxygen consumption within 2 minutes(i.e., 40% for fresh and 12% for aged slices) in the treatmentof $50{\mu}M$ alantolactone, gradual decrease of respiration rate was observed during 3 hours of incubation. In case of the aged slices the initial burst of oxygen consumption was not observed by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) or KCN. The combined effect of SHAM and alantolactone showed increase of 12%, while SHAM and KCN combination showed 60% decrease. In addition, the lipophilicity of cell membrane of onion inner epidermis was increased by lantolactone treatment. The results suggest that the primary effect of alantolactone on the cellular respiration may be associated with an alteration of lipophilic phase of cell membrane and a consequent increase of electron flow throuh the cytochrome system.

Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen and can be formed during frying of starchy foods. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of acrylamide reduction in storage potato chips by fermentation of Bacillus subtilis and compare its usefulness with four different cultivars of storage potatoes (Goeun, Atlantic, Saebong, and Jinsun). Potato slices were fermented by B. subtilis at $37^{\circ}C$ for 0, 2, and 4 h and fried at $180^{\circ}C$ for 115 s. The total sugar contents of the fermented potato slices did not change compared to the control. However, reducing sugar contents increased in the fermentation solution containing potato slices. Asparagine contents of Saebong and Jinsun potato slices decreased with fermentation time. Color values of the fermented potato chips were improved compared to those of non-fermented potato chips. The highest $L^*$ value was found in Saebong (57.4), followed by Goeun (56.7), Jinsun (52.5), and Atlantic (48.8) after 4 h of fermentation. Potatoes stored for 240 days generated considerable amounts of acrylamide, ranging from 4.99 to 10.38 ppm, after frying. Four hours of fermentation reduced acrylamide formation in all potato chips. The lowest acrylamide content was found in Saebong (0.77 ppm), followed by Jinsun (1.21 ppm), Goeun (1.76 ppm), and Atlantic (4.09 ppm). In conclusion, fermentation of storage potatoes by B. subtilis can effectively lower acrylamide formation during frying of potato chips.

Crude extracts of pathogenic Streptomyces turgidiscabies isolates produced necrotic reaction on potato slices. Necrosis was first visible 24 hr after application and increased in severity over several days. However, necrosis was not observed when crude extracts of nonpathogenic strains were applied onto tuber slices. Presence of thaxtomin A from crude extracts of pathogenic S. turgidiscabies was identified by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Nonpathgenic strains did not produce thaxtomin A in oatmeal broth. Inoculation of potato tuber slices with thaxtomin A partially purified from crude extract of a pathogenic S. turgidiscabies ST5 reproduce necrotic reaction suggesting that thaxtomin A is a pathogenicity determinant in S. turgidiscabies.

The market for potato chips has expanded due to increased consumption of seasoned potato chips. However, the deep-frying process facilitates development of a browning color and formation of acrylamide. The objective of this work was to minimize browning color and acrylamide formation by fermentation prior to deep-frying. Potato slices were fermented by using three Bacillus strains, B. licheniformis (BL), B. methylotrophicus (BM), and B. subtilis, for 6 h at $30^{\circ}C$. In all fermentation groups, contents of total sugars in potato slices decreased. The color of fermented potato chips improved compared to the control. BM potato chips showed the best color values (76.33 in L value, 5.67 in a value, and 34.79 in b value). All fermentation processes reduced levels of acrylamide in deep-fried potato chips. Fermentation of potato slices for 2 h by BL reduced up to 96.1% acrylamide content. It was concluded that the fermentation process can positively affect color development and acrylamide formation.
