We examined the physicochemical characteristics of radish kimchi supplemented with either 10% boneless or boned sliced gizzard shad (BLGS and BGS, respectively) and compared them to those of untreated kimchi during an eight-week fermentation period. BLGS- and BGS-containing kimchi showed higher acidity, amino nitrogen, and Lactobacillus levels than control kimchi. Furthermore, BGS-containing kimchi showed higher acidity, amino nitrogen, and Lactobacillus levels, and lower reducing sugar contents than BLGS at the optimum- and over-ripened stage. Higher amino nitrogen serves as a good medium for microorganism growth, which produce organic acids, consequently decreasing the reducing sugar, pH levels and increasing the acidity. The preference test showed that the control kimchi was the most preferred at the unripened stage, while the BLGS- and BGS-supplemented kimchi samples in the ripened and over-ripened stages showed similar preferences. In conclusion, our results indicate that gizzard shad-supplemented kimchi shows positive health characteristics, such as low salinity, high amino nitrogen and Lactobacillus levels.

In order to evaluate suitability by processing for non-GM soybean cultivars such as Gaechuck#2, Jinyangkong and CJ#1 lacking lipoxygenase (LOX) and kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) protein, physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of Kanjang made from above soybean were compared to Kanjang made from a conventional cultivar (Taekwangkong). Proximate compositions of soybeans were similar for the 4 kinds cultivars. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were significantly higher in cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. In Kanjang, contents of total and reducing sugar were higher in Taekwangkong Kanjang than Kanjang from made cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein. Contents of total and amino type nitrogen were the highest in the Jinyangkong Kanjang. Mineral contents were higher in the Jinyangkong and CJ#1 Kanjangs, amino acid contents were higher in the Kanjang made from 3 cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. Taste of the Jinyangkong Kanjang with higher sweety and savory was also found to be superior to that of others in overall acceptability evaluation. Total phenol and flavonoid contents in Kanjang were significantly higher in the Kanjang made from cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. Radical scavenging activity of Kanjang was increased in the total phenol contents dependent on. Reducing power by ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) was significantly higher the Kanjang made from Gaechuck#2 and CJ#1 than the Taekwangkong. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity was higher in Taekwangkong Kanjang than the other cultivars, but its activity was similar to Jinyangkong Kanjang. Therefore, higher nutritional composition, total phenol and flavonoids contents and antioxidant activity in the Kanjang made from soybean cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein might be provide better benefit for manufacture of another their products.

This study compared the physicochemical characteristics, proximate composition, taste compound, and antioxidant properties of Sikhye prepared with berries. Proximate composition and color were significantly different depending on the type of berry, whereas crude fat content and pH were not. The highest brix degree was $18.92^{\circ}Bx$ in strawberry Sikhye. Total free sugar, glucose, and fructose contents were highest in blueberry Sikhye. Titratable acidity, total acidity, and organic acid contents were highest in raspberry Sikhye. Analysis of relative antioxidative properties indicated that bokbunja Sikhye had the highest total polyphenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents, highest DPPH radical scavenging ability, and highest reducing power and ferric reducing abilities in plasma. Principal component analysis suggests that bokbunja Sikhye has strong antioxidant and sweetness properties.

In order to compare fall cultivars of Chinese cabbage for kimchi preparation, their physicochemical and organoleptic properties during kimchi fermentation were investigated. When physical characteristics of ten fall cabbage cultivars were compared, `Olympic' had the heaviest average weight and `Chungsan' was the longest in total length. They were also analyzed chemically and compared on water content, vitamin C and reducing sugars. `Noranmat' had the highest water content and `Chungsan' had the highest contents of vitamin C and reducing sugar. Kimchi samples prepared with each fall cultivar were fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ for $40^{\circ}C$ Says, of which pHs and total acid contents were measured and sensory characteristics were compared. Their pHs of `Lipdong' and `Taebok' were lowered most slowly and their pHs of all cultivars were lowered to less than pH 4.0 after the storage of 40 days. Their total acid contents of most cultivars were ranged from 0.55 to 0.59% after the same period. It was shown from the result of sensory eva uation that `Karaksin-1' and `Olympic' were considered to be the best among fall cultivars of Crinese cabbage for kimchi preparation.

This study examined the physicochemical quality characteristics of the oriental melon Makgeolli variant by addition of sucralose during its non-steamed fermentation process. The results showed a partial increase in initial sugar content in Makgeolli depending on the level of sucralose addition; and this slight increase in sugar content was exhibited in all intervals into which the sucralose was added during fermentation. The pH of Makgeolli did not exhibit significant changes according to the level of added sucralose until the fourth day of the fermentation process; and the total acidity of Makgeolli did not significantly change in accordance with the varied levels of added sucralose. Reducing sugar rapidly decreased in all intervals of the experiment during the first day of fermentation, and it was then increased slightly staring from the second day of the fermentation. Alcohol content in all experimental intervals was proportionally increased in accordance with the amount of added sucralose during the alcoholic fermentation process. The alcohol content was reached to the final alcohol contents of control (A) 11.27%, 0.001% (w/w) (B) 11.43%, 0.002% (w/w) (C) 11.80%, and 0.003% (w/w) (D) 12.23%. The levels of acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamyl alcohol in Makgeolli were all proportional to the level of the amount of sucralose added in the fermentation process. The organoleptic characteristics of Makgeolli was accorded with the level of the amount of sucralose. In the sensory evaluation, the experimental interval of 0.003% (w/w) (D) showed the highest scores of 3.30, 2.67, 3.17, and 3.20 in color, odor, taste and overall, respectively.

Cryoextraction (a freeze concentration using an instrument) can increase the sugar concentration in grape juice by reducing its water content, similar to the natural freezing of grapes for natural ice wine. In this study, fermentation of freeze-concentrated Campbell Early grape (Vitis labruscana) juice to 36 $^{\circ}Bx$ was carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains D8 and S13 isolated from Korean grapes. During the fermentation, strains S13 and D8 showed rapid sugar reduction and alcohol production compared with S. cerevisiae Fermivin$^{(R)}$ used as a control. After nine-day fermentation, the residual sugar contents were lower in W13(9.77%) and D8 wine(9.07) than that in Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine(14.0%). Total acid content was high in the D8>S13>Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, in that order. The acetaldehyde content was highest in the D8 wine and lowest in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, among the three. The methanol content was slightly higher in the S13 and D8 wines than in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine. In the sensory evaluation, the S13 wine exhibited the highest score in flavor and taste among the three wines. Both the two S13 and D8 wines exhibited higher scores than Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine in overall preference.

In order to control or kill insects and pests, control ripening, and delay spoilage, kiwifruits were irradiated with gamma rays at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 kGy. Vitamin C, hydrogen donating activity, sugar content, organic acid content, texture, chromaticity, and sensory qualities were examined in the fruits over 2 weeks of storage at 20$^{\circ}C$. Vitamin C content and hydrogen donating activity decreased during the storage period, but they were not reduced by the irradiation process. Total sugar and reducing sugar contents increased as the storage period increased; however, these were also unaffected by irradiation. Organic acid content significantly decreased as a result of irradiation, and all samples had decreases in organic acids over the storage period. Hardness decreased with the storage period as well as with increasing doses of irradiation. In terms of Hunter's color values, irradiation increased the $L^*-\;and\;a^*-$ values in the initial storage period, but it did not have any significant effect on these values during the 2 weeks of storage. When compared with control samples, the irradiated samples had lower color and overall acceptability scores just after irradiation (week 0). However, during the storage period, the irradiated samples had higher scores for smell, taste, texture, and overall acceptability than the control. In conclusion, based on the results, gamma irradiation up to 0.5 kGy is the recommended treatment to maintain the overall quality attributes kiwifruit.

For the purpose of increasing protein dissolution by organic acids, chicken stock with apples (CSA) was manufactured and compared with chicken stock (CS) without apples. The sugar content of CSA showed a relatively higher sugar content than CS. The crude protein content of CSA was significantly higher than that of CS. Since the sugar content was high by adding apples, chicken stock was prepared by reducing the amounts of apples and adding tomatoes and lemons. The crude protein content of the chicken stock added with tomatoes and lemons (CSA-TL) increased by about 35% compared to the chicken stock added with tomatoes (CSA-T). Since the CSA-TL group had the highest protein elution, so nutritional content was compared with CS and commercial chicken stock (CCS) groups. Crude protein content of the CSA-TL group increased about 79% compared to the CS group and about 6.8 times compared to the CCS. The contents of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and various essential amino acids in the CSA-TL group increased compared to the CS group. The chicken stock developed in this study is expected to be used as a health-oriented product that can replace existing products.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the change of phenolic compounds after phosphite treatment on Cheorwon onion. Onion is a perennial plant belonging to the lily family. It is native to Persia of Southwest Asia. It is widely cultivated in the temperate regions of the world. Onion is a good name for the 'Okchong' to drop blood cholesterol and cardiovascular blood flow to increase the prevention of adult diseases. Cheorwon area is inland, but it has high continental climate due to its high altitude. Therefore it is said that the onion cultivated in this region has higher sugar content and higher taste than onion grown in the southern region. Phosphorus components are particularly important ingredients for promoting muscle development. However, if the phosphoric acid content of the soil part is maintained to a large extent until the harvest, the competition of the nutrients tends to cause decay of the root part. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality and shelf life of onion by inducing nutrient balance by applying foliar fertilization method on the reducing phosphorus at harvest time. In this study, acidity was controlled by diluting phosphorous acid(H₃PO₃) and potassium hydroxide(KOH), followed by leaf surface treatment with phosphite on onion. In this study, the concentration of phosphite was diluted to 500, 1,000, 1,500ppm and sprayed three times over the onion leaves in May 2018 using an atomizer and harvested at the end of June, and the phenolic compounds were analyzed by HPLC. As a result, the content of quercetin, one of the important substances in onion, was phosphite 500ppm(179.70㎍/g), 1,000(150.27), 1,500(105.95). The contents of caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, rutin, kaempferol, and sugar content were higher in the treatments than in the control. Therefore, the phosphite does not have a great influence on the growth, but it may play a role as a method of achieving balance with nitrogen in the rainy season by supplying the role of the material catalyst and the water soluble phosphoric acid and the potassium in the influence of the material change.
