Sensory characteristics of acorn gels were evaluated as affected by acorn starch concentrations(7, 8, 9, 10 and 11%) and by soaking periods(4, 8 and 16 days) of acorn and acorn flour. The characteristics evaluated were color, clarity, firmness, cohesiveness, flavor and astringency. Panelists indicated in the scoring test that all the characteristics were pronounced as the starch concentration increased, except clarity, The result of ranking test on gels made with acorn starch soaked for 4, 8 or 16 days indicated that color, firmness, cohesiveness, flavor and astringency decreased, as soaking period increased. However, the soaking periods did not affect clarity of acorn gels.

Glutinous rice cake(Chalduk) was made by varying the hours of soaking time of glutinous rice in the water(0, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours). After storage for various periods, the sensory and physical characteristics and the degree of gelatinization were examined in order to determine the effect of glutinous rice soaking period on the quality of Chalduk. The results of the study are summarized as follows. In the sensory test, 8-hour water soaking produced the significantly highest score for salty taste, while 0-hour water soaking had the lowest score. Four-hour water soaking had the significantly highest score for the degree of chewiness. Eight-hour water soaking had the significantly highest score for overall desirability. For the moisture content of Chalduk covered with bean flour, 8-hour water soaking produced the highest moisture content but the difference was not significant. For the degree of gelatinization, 8-hour water soaking had the highest maltose content, which confirmed the suitability of 8-hour water soaking glutinous rice. Eight-hour water soaking had the lowest hardness. With increasing storage period, the hardness sharply increased. Elasticity was higher for the long-period immersed samples than for the non-immersed samples. In conclusion, an 8-hour soaking time for glutinous rice in water was proposed to maximize the Chalduk quality.

Physico-chemical characteristics of glutinuous rice during soaking treatment at different temperature for Yu-Kwa (Korean traditional glutinous rice cake) processing were determined. Crude fat and protein contents of soaked glutinous rice decreased up to 30% to 50%, respectively, compared to raw rice, but there was a little difference in soaking periods. As the soaking period increased pH of soaking solution was decreased from 6.4 to 3.3, while Brix was increased from 0.5 to 13.6. Titration acidity of soaking solution and soaked rice were increased to 22.9 and 3.4, respectively, as the soaking period increased to 9 days at $20^{\circ}C$ soaking, but it was increased rapidly to 29.8 and 4.0, respectively, at $30^{\circ}C$. The three kinds of free sugar such as glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected. Glucose was the major produced free sugar during soaking, sucrose was not detected after 1 day soaking period. Characteristics of amylographic viscosity on soaked rice showed that there are no difference in pasting temperature by the soaking time and temperature, but the maximum viscosity was drastically increased on $1{\sim}2\;day$ soaking period and decreased rapidly after $2{\sim}3\;day$.

In order to prepare liqueur of Acanthopanax koreanum, changes in major constituents by soaking below 0.5 cm size dried sample 700 g in 10 l of $15{\sim}95%$ spirit solution for 70 days were investigated. Color b was increased according to lower ethanol concentration and longer soaking periods. Extract was increased gradually with soaking periods, and the content was $0.6{\sim}0.7%$ (w/v) with stem, $1.0{\sim}1.5%$ (w/v) with root. Eleutheroside B and E were extracted rapidly within 20 days of soaking, moreover were increased according to ethanol concentration within 15% to 70%. Acantoic acid was extracted rapidly $2.8{\sim}22.6\;{\mu}g/ml$ with stem, and $560{\sim}1,700\;{\mu}g/ml$ with root within 5 to 10 days. For preparation of liqueur of Acanthopanax koreanum, it is necessary to soak more portion of dried root with $60{\sim}80%$ ethanol concentration for $30{\sim}50$ days, and then to blend after aging for 13 weeks.

Effects of soaking period on physicochemical characteristics of chokong (black soybean picked in brown rice vinegar) and soaking solution were investigated. The pH and soluble solid contents in soaking solution increased rapidly whereas total acidity decreased during the first 4 days of soaking. The sudden drop of color 'L' and 'b' values in soaking solution occurred one day after start of soaking; in contrast, 'a' value increased by 1 day, and then decreased for soaking periods. The strength and hardness of chokong showed a decreasing trend as soaking for a long time, and the values of chokong were lower than those of control (black soybean soaked in water and freeze dried). The protein bands of chokong for soaking appeared only under 24,000 Da of molecular weight by electrophoresis. The content of total amino acids of chokong pickled for 7 days was 86.86 mg%, about 3 times for 28.36 mg% of raw black soybean. The contents of essential amino acids, especially, leucine and phenylalanine increased greatly in chokong. In vitro digestibility for protein was 62% in raw black soybean and 84% in chokong pickled for 7 days. Therefore, these results may assumed that chokong will be good source of amino acids.

In this study, changes in physical and chemical properties of glutinous rice during various soaking periods (0, 0.08, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 days) were investigated in order to clarify the relations ship between soaking period and expansion volume in the preparation of Gang Jung. The longer the soaking period was, the greater the expansion volume of Gang Jung was. Higher maximum viscosity and breakdown in amylogram of glutinous rice flour were observed as the soaking period was increased, As the length of soaking period increased, hardness of glutinous rice and size of flour particle significantly decreased, while sweeling power and solubility of glutinous rice flour showed no significant difference. Increased length of soaking period was associated with higher fatty acidity, higher acidity of water extract and lower pH of glutinous rice flour. Control of flour particle size distribution resulted in significantly larger expansion volume of Gang Jung. Brabender's amylogram showed that the increase of expansion volume of Gang Jung associated with the increase of soaking period was related to the change of rheological properties of glutinous rice. It seemed that changes in viscometric properties of glutinous rice was attributed to the different flour particle size distribution resulted from changes in hardness of rice during soaking.

This study is to examine the PEG concentration, and drying humidity and drying periods of humidity-controlled drying(HCD) for conservation of waterlogged woods(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.), and dimension stability of HCD were compared with those of air-drying and vacuum freeze-drying(VFD). Dimension stability of vacuum freeze-drying was the most excellent, i.e., PEG crystal was uniformly distributed in woods. Increasing concentrations of PEG, dimension stability of HCD was increased and drying periods decreased. Dimension stability of HCD after the treatment with the high concentration(70%) of PEG soaking was similar to those of VFD after the treatment with the low concentration(40%) of PEG soaking. In conclusion, high concentration(about 70% in water) PEG solution was the most suitable as a pre-treatment for HCD of waterlogged woods. However, drying should be maintained with enough high humidity and longer period.

This experiment was conducted to obtain the basic information for the increase ofgermination percent by the treatment of stratification, soaking and $Gibberellin(GA_3)$ in Angelica gigas Seeds caltivated in 1989. The germination percent was increased by 30% with stratification, and the effect of low temperature did not differ significantly. The optimum soaking temperature and periods were found to be 4days at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;6dys\;l0^{\circ}C$ of water temperature. When exchanged water every day during soaking period, inhibitors were more extracted than non-exchange one. The exogenous application of $GA_3$ also increased germination percent about 20% campared with control, and the reasonable level was 2ppm in soaked seed and 5ppm in non-soaked seed.

The effects of yeast on the fermentation of kimchi were investigated. The treatments were divided into two groups; yeast treatment during salting of Chinese cabbage(YS) and yeast treatment added in kimchi preparation(YF kimchi). The edible periods of the kimchi after yeast treatment during salting (YS kimchi) was extended 4~5 days by the results of pH, acidity, sensory quality. The activities of amylase, polygalacturonase and galactosidase of YS kimchi were retained at low levels compared to non treated condition throughout all fermentation periods, whereas protease activity was not significant different from the non treated condition. In addition, the contents of total hexose and uronic acid did not show remarkable change throughout fermentation, but total pentose was decreased by more than 7% at the early middle stage of fermentation(7~14 day after soaking). The change of free amino acid content was decreased by 16~44% than the non treated condition. In contrast, in the YF kimchi, the sensory quality was not good. The activities of amylase, protease, polygalacturonase and gal actosidase were appreciably higher than that of the non treated condition. Meanwhile, the contents of total hexose, total pentose and uronic acid, as products of degradation of cell wall constituents by the above enzymes, were decreased by 18~68% throughout fermentation than the non treated con dition, and total free amino acids were higher than the YS kimchi. Thus, yeast treatment during salting was found to be more effective to extend the edible periods of the kimchi.
