This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of kimchi with Allium hookeri powder (AHP) added during eight weeks fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. AHP was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, and 5% (w/w). The quality characteristics of the AHR-added kimchi were determined by measuring pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar, microbial amounts, and sensory properties. The vitamin $B_1$ and vitamin C contents of the Allium hookeri root were 0.04 mg/100 g and 5.76 mg/100 g, respectively. As for the mineral contents, the K content was highest, followed by the Ca, Mg, and Fe contents. The pH was higher in the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP than in the kimchi without AHP during the eight-week fermentation. The salinity ranged from 2.02% to 2.37% over the eight weeks. The microbial cells and lactobacilli increased rapidly throughout the fermentation in the exponential phase and hardly increased in the stationary phase. In the sensory evaluations, the overall acceptance, taste, and texture of the kimchi with 1% AHP added were highest. In conclusion, the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP generally showed better quality than the kimchi without AHP. Especially, the kimchi with 1% AHP had the best scores in quality and overall acceptance during the fermentation.

Changes of principal components of crude green tea were determined after 30 min. of heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$, l15$^{\circ}C$, 14$0^{\circ}C$, 16$0^{\circ}C$. Four kinds of free sugars(sucrose, fructose, glucose, raffinose) and an unidentified sugar compound were separated in green tea by using High Performance LiQuid Chromatography (H.P.L.C.). 26-34 peaks were isolated as aroma compounds of green tea by means of Gas Liquid Chromatography(G.L.C). The typical aroma component of green tea such as linalool, furfural, benzyl alcohol and 13 other substances were identified. Contents of most compounds were decreased by heat treatment. Especially contents of free amino acids, free sugars, vitamin C and tannins were decreased remarkably, while those of total nitrogen and soluble nitrogen were hardly changed. The effect of heat treatment on organoleptic quality of tea extracts were examined by sensory evaluation of which result indicated the most favorable tea was produced at 115$^{\circ}C$. The Percentages of loss in contents of total sugars, reducing sugars, vitamin C, free amino acids and tannins at 115$^{\circ}C$ were 17%, 16%, 36%, 12% and 15% respectively, while those were 38%, 53%, 55%, 74% and 23% at 16$0^{\circ}C$.

Old rice showed higher initial pasting and peak viscosity temperatures than new rice. Reducing sugar contents of rice harvested in 1998 were lowest 24hr after digestion with saccharification enzyme, but similar after 36hr, among rice samples tested. Fermentation characteristics and preference of Takju made by fermenting raw rice harvested from 1998 to 2001 far 7 days were investigated. Alcohol contents during Takju brewing rapidly increased for 5 days to 17.3-18.1%, and were 17.5-18.2% on day 7, with those of Takju brewed with rice harvested in 1998 being highest in both cases. Sensory evaluation results showed Takju fermented with rice harvested in 2000 had highest sweetness, preference, and sourness, and that fermented with rice harvested in 1999 had highest sourness, but no voluntariness was shown between each other (meaning not clear). Moisture contents and gelatinization characteristics of old and new rice were slightly different, although factors adversely affecting Takju such as flavor of old rice did not appear in sensory evaluation probably because old rice was stored in rice bran farm for long times and used after milling. Results reveal surplus old rice could be utilized for Takju brewing.

This study examined the fermentative characteristics of red ginseng wine prepared with enzymatically hydrolyzed red ginseng marc (ERGM), which was produced by the polysaccharide hydrolyase and protease treatments of red ginseng marc (RGM). After adjusting the initial soluble solid contents of ERGM broth to $20^{\circ}Brix$ and $30^{\circ}Brix$ with sucrose, respectively, alcohol fermentation was carried out at $25^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. The soluble solid contents decreased from $20^{\circ}Brix$ to $7^{\circ}Brix$ and from $30^{\circ}Brix$ to $13^{\circ}Brix$, and the reducing sugar content decreased to 18 and 24 g/L at 9 days of fermentation, respectively. The ethanol contents increased to 65 g/L and 106 g/L, respectively. The crude saponin content in the ERGM broth was 2~3 times as high as that in the RGM broth after 7 days fermentation. These results show that ERGM is suitable as a raw material for the production of red ginseng wine.

This study was performed to improve the availability of reed and quality of traditional Yakju by using roasted reed. The pH of sprout Yakju was 3.43, whereas the pHs of other Yakjus were 3.57. No remarkable differences were observed in contents of total titratable acids and reducing sugars. Color changes were measured by Hunter's color value; L value decreased, whereas redness (+a) and yellowness (+b) increased during fermentation. Ethanol content of Yakjus prepared with sprout and root were 15.30% and 15.28%, respectively, which were lower than that of control Yakju (15.31%). However, there were obvious differences of ethanol contents in three types of Yakjus. The major free sugar and organic acid were glucose and lactic acid, respectively. The total polyphenol contents of sprout Yakju (4.26 mg%) and root Yakju (4.21 mg%) were much higher than that of control Yakju (2.56 mg%). The DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activities of sprout Yakju and root Yakju were higher than those of control Yakju. Yakju prepared from 0.3% addition of sprout showed the highest score in overall preference from the sensory test.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of isoflavone composition (glycoside and bio-active aglycone) in Cheonggukjang and to evaluate its quality characteristics depending on different soybean cultivars (Daewon, Daepoong, Wooram, Hwangkeumol and Saedanback). The bioactivity of Cheonggukjang was enhanced during fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase, protease, and cellulase increased significantly after 48 h fermentation (p<0.05). In addition, amino-type nitrogen and reducing sugar contents in Cheonggukjang fermented with B. subtilis increased significantly after 48 h fermentation (p<0.05). Among the isoflavones, the content of $\beta$-glucosides and acetyl-glucosides decreased, while aglycone content increased during fermentation. Especially, Cheonggukjang fermented with Daepoong cultivars showed the greatest increase in daidzein, genistein and glycitein contents. After 48 h fermentation, the contents of daidzein, genistein and glycitein in the Cheonggukjang fermented with Daepoong cultivars increased significantly up to $503.65{\pm}2.76$, $111.40{\pm}0.42$, and $633.95{\pm}6.01{\mu}g/g$ (p<0.05), respectively. Total aerobic and anaerobic cell counts increased with increase in fermentation time. Therefore, it would be beneficial for the food industry if components of Cheonggukjang could be separated and used to develop functional products.

In this study, antioxidant activities, proximate composition, and physicochemical characteristics of tetraploid 'Etteum' variety in Platycodon grandiflorum (SD) were evaluated and compared with those of a domestic diploid variety in P. grandiflorum (ND). Moisture content, crude fat, crude fiber, and crude ash contents were higher in ND, whereas crude protein and carbohydrate content were higher in SD. The amount of crude saponin in SD (2.01%) was higher than that in ND (0.88%). The reducing sugar contents of ND and SD were 3.09% and 2.82%, respectively (P<0.05). The pH level was lower in the ND (ND, 4.98; SD, 5.68). Acidity was 2.74% in ND and 2.34% in SD. Under the Hunter color system, redness was lower and lightness/yellowness higher in SD compared to those in ND. Total phenol contents of ND and SD were 0.100 mg/mL and 0.227 mg/mL, respectively. Antioxidant activities based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity and SOD-like activity of SD were higher than those in ND. Based on these results, SD is a good candidate for food processing in terms of its physicochemical and antioxidative activities.

This study was carried out to investigate the change of endosperm substance and seedling growth in rice seedlings for machine transplanting with use of two rice varieties, which Samgangbyeo (Indica${\times}$Japonica) and Dogjinbyeo (Japonica) were sown on May 8 with five levels of seeding density. 1. The total dry matter weight, leaf area, length of the longest root, number and length of new roots were negatively correlated with seeding density, and the plant height had the similar tendency to them from 20 days after sowing(DAS). 2. The rooting ability was negatively correlated with seeding density and decreased from 35 DAS in Dongjinbyeo. 3. The endosperm substance were exhausted at 25 to 30 DAS in Samgangbyeo and at 25 DAS in Dongjinbyeo. 4. The leaf area was more useful than the ratio of plant height to dry matter weight for judging the constitution of seedlings. 5. The reducing sugar contents in the endosperm were the greatest among parts of rice seedlings followed by leaf and root. The contents in leaf, root and endosperm reached maximal at 10 DAS, and varied with plant parts, seedling growth and varieties in different levels of seeding density. 6. The protein contents in leaf and root of rice seedlings became decreased with seedling growth., and were minimal values at 15 DAS. The content in endosperm was decreased soon after seeding, and minimal at 4 DAS with showing some fluctuation of protein content after then.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of rice nuruk prepared from rice with different degrees of milling (0, 10, 30, 50, and 70%) on physicochemical qualities of yakju. The results indicated significant differences in the qualities of yakju prepared using rice nuruk from rice with different degrees of milling. Specially, pH, amino acidity, brownness, b value, and color difference were significantly reduced as the degrees of milling increased, whereas contents of alcohol and volatile acid, reducing sugar, and L value were increased. Malic acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid were the main organic acids in yakju, and there were significant differences among the treatments in malic acid, lactic acid. However, there was no tendency according to different degrees of milling. In addition, contents of total free amino acids and nitrogen compounds showed no tendency according to degrees of milling, whereas the content of aspartic acid showed a tendency to decrease significantly. The content of 2-phenyl alcohol in the volatile flavor components showed a tendency to increase significantly with higher degree of milling of rice nuruk, whereas contents of n-propanol and iso-amyl alcohol tended to decrease significantly.
