This study was conducted to examine the possibility of improvement effect in Takju mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ on the second stage mash. Alcohol was highly generated in comparison with the control on fermentation time in case of the ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ on the second stage mash. Reducing sugar was also highly produced after 2 days on the second stage, and amount of reducing sugar was indicated to be decreased between $4\~6$ days. Total acidity was shown not to be practically changed after 2 days in mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ on the second stage in comparison with the control. Fusel oil produced from mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ was less generated in comparison with the control. Yeast growth on the mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ was revealed to be highly in comparison with the control through fermentation periods. Precipitation velocity of suspension in mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ was shown to be 1.5 times lower than that of the control. Precipitation amount in mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ was not nearly changed on the storage time. The astringency and bitterness were slightly decreased, while on the other turbidity and refreshing were increased in mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$. In general overall preferences was indicated to be fully satisfied in mash added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ in comparison with the control. Nasty smell of Takju added with ${\alpha}G-Hesperidine$ was recognized after 6 days during storage.

This study was carried out to examine changes in the quality characteristics of Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (AcK) Jangachi made with different $CaCl_2$ and seasoning treatments during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. The results exhibited there were no significant changes in pH, acidity, and salinity in the various samples. The numbers of total bacterial counts and lactic acid bacteria increased slowly during the early storage period and then increased rapidly in the third month. In the fifth month they reached their highest level near $6.6{\times}10^{6}cfu/ml$ and then decreased thereafter. The sample treated with $CaCl_2$ exhibited a higher degree of hardness than the untreated sample. Finally, the sensory characteristics of the AcK Jangachi were highly acceptable during the entire storage period in terms of color, smell, bitterness, texture, and general preference regardless of the $CaCl_2$ treatments.

Objectives : The use of health functional foods is gradually increasing. On the other hand, the use of the Korean herbal medicine is gradually decreasing. Especially children are known to have a high percentage of taking a health functional food. This study was designed to compare the use of health functional food with the reason for taking the Korean herbal medicine. Methods : The participants were 453 parents who have kids age between 3 to 6 years old from day care center in Wonju and Chungju. The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions and the survey was conducted by self-entry method. This study analyzed 374 participants' questionnaires who agreed to the survey. Results : The percentages of children's health functional food intake experience were 82.9% and they usually bought products which contain lactic acid bacteria(55.6%). The reason for consuming health functional food was to strengthen the immune system and enhance the physical strength. Most of the participants purchased health functional food from pharmacy through inaccurate information such as the internet. The percentages of children's health functional food preference were 58.5% because it is easy to take. The percentages of children's herbal medicine preference were 41.7%. There are inconveniences of taking herbal medicine because of taste and smell(68.8%). Conclusions : Therefore, it is necessary to change the formulation of the herbal medicine and increase convenience for use of the herbal medicine to preschooler(3-6 years old). In additionary, it is necessary to supply accurate and up to date information of herbal medicine taking.

This experiment was conducted to develop liquid fertilizer for leaf vegetable using the agricultural by-products such as dry chicken dropping, bone meal, rice bran, soybean oil cake and fish meal. Combination of 50% dry chicken dropping, 30% bone meal and 20% rice bran among several combinations of by-products was selected as materials for liquid fertilizer of head lettuce and cabbage. 50kg of materials with combination selected got mixed to 200ι of water, which kept under room temperature in greenhouse. EC and pH of fertilizer was stabilized after 35 days. On the decrease of bad smell during fermentation, addition of materials such as bioceramics, woody vinegar and active charcoal was not effected. And on rapid fermentation, addition of microorganisms and sugar had a little effect, but decreased the content of inorganic nutrients. Fertigation of liquid fertilizer developed on cabbage by dropping made head weight increased by 0.9kg per plant and nitrate content decreased by 276ppm in comparison with chemical fertilizer which was 3.5kg, and 2,426ppm, respectively. By use of organic liquid fertilizer developed in this experiment, yield of cabbage could be more obtained by 26% than in use of chemical fertilizer and income by 24%.

Several supplementary heating methods were investigated to find their effects on night air temperature, injury in plant, growth and yield with Hokowase strawberry(Fragaria grandiflora) under greenhouse, during early spring season in 1981 and 1982. Kerosene lamp as a supplementary heating was not suitable because of its severe injury on strawberry plants, danger of accidental fire and bad smell. Paraffine candle and electric wire heating did not injure on strawberry plant, raised the minimum air temperature in greenhouse at night, enhanced growth, flowering and harvesting time of strawberry. Paraffine candle was effective as a supplementary heating method for short period growing under greenhouse, whereas electric wire heating was suitable for long period cultivation.

This survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of ground condition of barn, moisture condition, feeding facilities, disinfection tool, etc. The data from a total of 305 farms were collected and analysed for establishment of managemental target in Hanwoo farm. The ground condition of barn was evaluated as a result of "moderate level" (46.4%). The moisture removal on the ground was conducted with the aid of electric fan (36.4%). The natural wind and sunlight should be used gradually for economic effect in farm. The exchange of floor straw was mostly conducted to remove the bad smell of barn (33.7%). 37.0% of farms had no the electric fan in internal barn, this instrument must be installed for control of body temperature and internal moisture in the future. Most of feeding facilities were operated by hand(88.2%). Modern farms should be installed with automatic feeding system. Farmer's skill of management was evaluated as a "2.80" of 5 points. Accordingly, farmers should be trained with high level of technical competitive skill. In conclusion, Hanwoo farms should be promoted and improved for enhancement of income through introduction to scientifically modern feeding skill.

This study made Soy-Sauce-Kimchi and investigated its pH, acidity, microorganism, salinity, chromaticity, viscosity and taste to revive traditional Soy-Sauce-Kimchi using Soy-Sauce instead of salt and to report its fermentation characteristics. As one of studies on traditional Kimchi, it tried for practical use of traditional Soy-Sauce-Kimchi which had been eaten in the middle region of Korea, especially in Seoul but currently has been prepared by only a few people and has disappeared gradually. According to the results of this study, among three groups of Soy-Sauce-Kimchi-I(s1), Soy- Sauce-Kimchi-II(s2) added by 2.5% sucrose and the control group(C), acidity of s2 was sharply increased after 24 hours and 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively and there was few difference in salinity by temperature. In the case of s2 group, addition of 2.5% sucrose was considered to lead to increase of salinity. For chromaticity, while the L value and b value became larger after 48 hours, the a value tended to decline. Viscosity of s2 grew after 24 hours at all of $20^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$ and that was thought to be because propagation of bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteriodes following addition of 2.5% sucrose secreted dextransucrose so sucrose was transferred into dextran to increase viscosity. The total number of microorganisms was recorded to be largest after 48, 36 and 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$ respectively and the number of lactic acid bacteria was the largest at $1^{\circ}C$ after 72 hours compared to those at other temperatures. That was considered to be because microorganisms such as Leuconostoc mesenteriodes are psychrotropic lactic acid bacteria. For sensory evaluation, all appearance, chromaticity and odor of C were higher by $3{\sim}4$ points than those of s1 and s2(p < 0.001) and their feel also showed a similar tendency(p < 0.05). Considering the results of sensory evaluation, more researches were needed to overcome difference of taste for Soy-Sauce-Kimchi according to age due to characteristic flavor and smell of soy-source.

Formaldehyde is one of the toxic substances without any color and smell. Several methods to remove formaldehyde has been investigated up to now. Here, both the enzymatic and chemisorptive/catalytic liquid phase formaldehyde removal were investigated, and their catalytic activities in terms of specific activities were compared. Firstly, formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) enzyme from Escherichia coli K12 was cloned, and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). And the catalytic activity was characterized as $2.49{\times}10^3sec^{-1}mM^{-1}$ of $k_{cat}/K_m$ with 8.69 U/mg of the specific activity. Secondly, the chemisorptive and oxidative catalytic removals were investigated simultaneously. Activated carbons and zeolites treated with heat, KI, and KOH were used as chemisorption medium. And $Pd/TiO_2$ was used as an oxidative catalyst for the formaldehyde removal. All of the tested chemicals showed similar formaldehyde removal efficiencies of around 50%. However, the specific activity of FDH dependent formaldehyde removal was absolutely higher than that of using chemisorptive and catalytic removal processes with the ranges of 0.01 to 0.26 U/g.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermented foods were prepared from egg white powder (EWP), casein and growth stimulating agents (GSA). The effects of GSA on acid production and growth of Lactobacillus were studied. The effects of GSA on sensory properties and viscosity of LAB fermented foods were also studied. Acid production by Lactobacillus was stimulated by addition of GSA (0.3% or 1%, W/V). Although stimulating effect differed among each GSA, some GSA increased the acidity up to the level of fermented milk. However, stimulating effect of GSA on viable cells was not noticeable. Acid production by L. acidophilus was generally higher than other Lactobacilli. The optimum concentration of GSA added to substrate was 1% (W/V). Sensory evaluation showed that the optimum fermentation time was 18hr. The sensory properties of GSA samples were evaluated as slightly lower than that of fermented milk because GSA samples showed whey separation and taste and smell of GSA. Apparent viscosity of GSA samples was significantly lower than that of fermented milk and control sample (p<0.05). There was no significant difference of apparent viscosity among GSA samples. GSA samples, fermented milk and control sample showed thixotropic flow characteristics.
