Two kinds of sweet potato puree were prepared with Benihayato cultivar of yellow sweet potato with or without $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment. Chemical and rheological properties of enzyme-treated puree were different from those of control puree. Reducing sugar content and iodine value increased by $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment, while alcohol insoluble solids and viscosity decreased by enzyme treatment. However, the changes of carotenoid content were not significantly different. Hunter-b-values(yellowness) were 27.19 and 23.54 for no enzyme-treated puree(NTP) and enzyme-treated puree(ETP), respectively. Hunter-a values(redness) were 2.24 and 6.05 for NTP abd ETP, respectively. Content of total carotenoid of canned puree heated at 13$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min decreased by 59 percents.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the analysis and optimization of the production process of strawberry Kochujang. Experiments were carried out according to a central composite design, selecting strawberry puree content and red pepper powder content as independent variables and soluble solids content, moisture content, water activity, color characteristics ($L^*-$, $a^*-$, and $b^*$-values) as response variables. The polynomial models developed by RSM were highly effective for describing the relationships between the study factors and the responses. Kochujang containing a higher amount of red pepper powder had a higher soluble solids content; on the contrary, soluble solids content decreased with the increase in the strawberry puree content in the sample. Moisture content increased with increased strawberry puree content but decreased with increased red pepper powder content. Water activity increased with the increase in strawberry puree content in the sample but was less affected by the amount of red pepper powder content. Decreases in $L^*$-values with increasing amount of red pepper powder were noted. $a^*$-values decreased with the increases in red pepper powder content but increased with the increase in strawberry puree content in the Kochujang formulation. $b^*$-values decreased with the increases in red pepper powder content but was less affected by the strawberry puree content. Overall optimization, conducted by overlaying the contour plots under investigation, was able to point out an optimal range of the independent variables within which the six responses were simultaneously optimized. The point chosen as representative of this optimal area corresponded to strawberry puree content=14.36% and red pepper powder content=11.33%, conditions under which the model predicted soluble solids content=$59.31^{\circ}Brix$, moisture content=45.30% (w.b.), water activity=0.758, $L^*$-value=24.81, $a^*$-value=7.250, and $b^*$-value=10.19.

This research aimed to examine the effects of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) at various concentrations on the microbial safety and physicochemical characteristics of onion puree (0.01~0.1%). The onion puree was kept at 4℃ for 14 days. The results of the study indicated that the addition of GSE did not cause any significant changes in the sample's brix degree and viscosity in onion puree (p<0.05). However, as the concentration of GSE increased, the pH level decreased. On the other hand, as GSE was added, the lightness of the onion puree increased, while the redness and yellowness decreased. Compared to pure onion puree, the GSE-incorporated onion puree had higher levels of total flavonoid and total polyphenol content, indicating that it helps to maintain antioxidant activities. Based on the microbial safety test, aerobic bacteria, yeast, and mold were absent until day 14 of storage. In conclusion, the study suggests that the addition of GSE to onion puree increases its antioxidant activity and shelf-life.
