To figure out optimum culturing condition for $in$ $vitro$ yam ($Dioscorea$ $opposita$ Thunb.) production, various media components and environmental controls were evaluated, effective temperature, light condition and timing of the liquid media replacement for multiplication of yam in liquid culture were determined in this study. There was no visible difference detected for $15^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ temperature conditions. At $25^{\circ}C$, continuous light condition was more effective compared to 16 hour light/ 8 hour dark condition. Effect of media replacement was tested, and approximately 5 more microtubers obtained and 70% of increase in weight was detected when media replacement was performed. Timing for media replacement was tested at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks after initial culture for 12 weeks. Considering both number and weight of microtubers, replacement of media 6 weeks after initial culture was most effective. In terms of component of media, significant increase in weight of microtubers was observed in MS media containing sucrose $60g{\cdot}L^{-1}$. In summary, the most effective condition for $in$ $vitro$ propagation of chinese yam is replacing medium 6 weeks after initial inoculation with MS medium containing sucrose $60g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in continuous light condition.

This study was conducted to evaluate sensory properties of sugar cookie containing sucralose. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose in a cookie system was examined with paired comparison tests and the result was applied to low calorie cookie preparation using polydextrose as a bulking agent. Physical and sensory properties and consumer acceptability of sugar cookies containing various levels of sucralose and polydextrose were evaluated. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose was 700 times in sugar cookie. Instrumental hardness and fracturability increased as the levels of replacement with sucralose increased. Spread ratios of sugar cookies where sucrose was partially and totally replaced with sucralose and corresponding amount of polydextrose were higher than that with sucrose only. Intensities of bitter taste, salty taste, hardness and molar packing of sugar cookies where sucrose was entirely replaced with sucralose and polydextrose were higher than that those of the other cookies. Acceptability test indicated 75% replacement with sucralose and adequate amount of polydextrose can be used without harming overall, appearance and flavor acceptability while texture acceptability was slightly lower.

Sweet pumpkin yanggaeng were produced with stevia leaf powder as a partial sugar replacer(0 to 20% sucrose weight) and antioxidant. Characteristics of the yanggaeng were compared in moisture, total soluble solids, pH, color, texture, antioxidant properties, and preference scores. Moisture and total soluble solids were proportionally increased with increasing addition of stevia leaf powder(p<0.001). pH of control (without stevia) and SLP20(with 20% replacement of sucrose) were 7.05 and 6.82, respectively. L-value, a-value, and b-value were decreased with increasing amount of stevia leaf powder (p<0.001). Antioxidant activities (total polyphenols and DPPH radical scavenging activity) were gradually increased as more stevia leaf powder included in the yanggaeng(p<0.001). SLP20 being significantly different from others (p<0.001) had the highest values of hardness and chewiness, but there was no significant difference between cohesiveness and adhesiveness among samples. SLP4 had the highest preference in appearance and texture, otherwise SLP8 did the highest scores in flavor, sweetness and overall preference. SLP8, in which 8% sucrose was replaced with stevia leaf powder, was considered to be the most desirable for production of sweet pumpkin yanggaeng.

The ability of neonates to perceive and react to pain, has been acknowledged recently. Recent researches have been shown that even short term pain can have lasting negative effects. We know that most of the anatomical pathway and neurotrans-mitter function necessary for pain perception are fully or nearly fully developed in the neonatal period. Many people are still reluctant to believe that pain felt by neonates may be as severe as that felt by older children or adults yet. The objective of the study is to assess and compare the analgesic effects of orally administered sucrose and pacifiers. And to determine the synergistic analgesic effects of sucrose and pacifiers. The tools for this study is Lawrence's NIPS (neonatal infant pain scale) with behavioural pain responses and index for pain physiological reponses as heart rate, respiratory rate and degree of SaO₂. The participants are 96 healthy infants of neonatal age 1-7days and randomised to receive heel prick before 2minutes to blood sampling and physiological test in Nursery of K Medical University Hospital on May-July, 2000. The experimental group assigned to one of three treatment groups : no treatment; a pacifier; placebo(2ml 25％ sucrose). Collected data were analyzed with the SAS program using X²-test, ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test as post hoc. The results were as follows. 1) Pain behaviour responses: The pain score of placebo group(2ml 25％ sucrose) is lower than no treatment group and pacifier group significantly(P=.000). Placebo group is different from no treatment and pacifier group with Duncan's multiple range test. 2) Pain physiologic responses (1) heart rate: The heart rate of placebo group(2ml 25％ sucrose) is different from that of no treatment group and pacifier group significantly(P=.000). The heart rate change of placebo group is less than the other groups. (2) respiratory rate: The respiratory rate of placebo group(2ml 25％ sucrose) is different from that of no treatment group and pacifier group insignificantly (P=.2340). But, the respiratory rate of placebo group is lower than the other groups. (3) SaO₂: The SaO₂ score of placebo group(2ml 25％ sucrose) is different from that of no treatment group and pacifier group insignificantly (P=.3265). But, the change of SaO₂ score of placebo group is less than the other groups. In conclusion, the sucrose placebo showed pain relief effect in behavior responses and less physiological responses. Accordingly, the sucrose placebo should be applied nursing intervention for simple pain management as heel prick.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of oligosaccharide addition on Jeung-Pyun fermentation. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), isomaltooligosaccharide (IMOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS) were used at the concentration of 15%, 25% or 35% of the rice in Jeung-Pyun ingredients. The physicochemical properties, sensory evaluation and instrumental characteristics were examined. The internal structure of Jeung-Pyun samples was observed by SEM. The pH of Jeung-Pyun batters was decreased as the fermentation progressed. Compared with the control using sucrose, the specific volume of Jeung-Pyun was higher in the 15% and 25% of oligosaccharide-added samples. The degree of gelatinization decreased more slowly than control as the storage time increased both at 20$\^{C}$ and 4$\^{C}$. In sensory evaluation, Jeung-Pyun with FOS and IMOS at the levels of 25∼35% and GOS at the levels of 25% showed the best scores. In instrumental characteristics, springiness, gumminess, hardness and cohesiveness were similar among all samples during storage at 20$\^{C}$ and 4$\^{C}$. In the internal structure of Jeung-Pyun observed by SEM, Jeung-Pyun substituted with oligosaccharide at the levels of 25% for sucrose showed large and regularly distributed air pores. In conclusion, the replacement of sucrose with oligosaccharide in Jeung-Pyun ingredients appeared acceptable in terms of fermentative aspects.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oligosaccharides(fructo or isomalto ) contained in sponge cake on blood lipids and intestinal physiology in rats. The experimental diet was mixed with 30% sponge cakes. Normal male Sprague Dawley rats weighing about 530g were randomly assigned to three groups and placed experimental diets and deionized water at free access for 25 days. Rat in control group received a diet mixed with sponge cake containing sucrose only at 21.58g/100g diet and rats in the other two groups received diets mixed with sponge cakes of which 40% sucrose was replaced with each oligosaccharide. The results obtained were as follows: No significant differences in efficiency of food, liver weight and intestinal length were observed among groups. The cecal contents and cecal wall weights were increased more in fructooligosaccharide(FO) group than control. The pH of cecal contents decreased significantly in two oligosaccharide groups. The water contents of fresh feces in FO group were the highest and the those of two oligosaccharide groups were higher than that of control. Dry fecal weight increased significantly in isomaltooligosaccharide(IMO) group. Total serum cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in FO group. Serum triglyceride(TG) was not significantly different among three groups at p<0.05, but serum TG of FO group was lower than those of other groups. In conclusion, 40% replacement of sucrose with oligosaccharides in sponge cake may have beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and intestinal function in rats.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of sugar alcohols (sorbitol, erythritol, and xylitol) as alternative sweeteners for replacing sucrose in Yukwa (traditional Korean oil-puffed rice snack). The moisture contents of Bandegi (dried Yukwa dough) and Yukwa containing sugar alcohols were higher than that of control (containing only sucrose). The microstructures of control and Bandegi containing sugar alcohols showed uniformly and finely distributed air holes. Expansion ratio and oil absorption of Yukwa containing sorbitol and 30% erythritol were higher than those of control. Appearance and cross section of control and Yukwa containing sorbitol, 30% erythritol, and 30% xylitol showed a good shape. The lightness (L) of control was significantly lower than Yukwa containing sugar alcohols, whereas redness (a) and yellowness (b) were higher than those in Yukwa containing sugar alcohols. Hardness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was significantly lower than that of control, and that of Yukwa containing sorbitol was the lowest. Peak number of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was significantly lower than that of control, and that of Yukwa containing 60% erythritol and 60% xylitol was the lowest among all samples. In the sensory evaluation, color of control was deepest, whereas that of Yukwa containing 60% xylitol was lightest. Volume and air hole uniformity of Yukwa containing 60% erythritol and 60% xylitol were inferior than those of other samples. Sweetness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control, whereas oily flavor was stronger. Hardness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control, and Yukwa containing xylitol showed the lowest hardness among the samples. Crispness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control. There were no significant differences in overall acceptability between control and Yukwa containing 30% sorbitol and 30% erythritol. Overall, sorbitol and erythritol were appropriate as a 30% replacement for sucrose when preparing Yukwa.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing sucrose with sugar alcohols (sorbitol, glycerol and xylitol) on the quality properties of semi-dried jerky. Total 7 treatments of jerkies were prepared as follows: control with sucrose, and treatments with 2.5 and 5.0% of sucrose replaced by each sugar alcohol, respectively. Drying yield, pH, water activity, moisture content, shear force, myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value, sugar content, and sensory evaluation were evaluated. Xylitol slightly decreased the pH when compared to the other sugar alcohols (p>0.05). The water activity of the semi-dried jerky was significantly reduced by treatment with glycerol and xylitol (p<0.05). The moisture content of semi-dried jerky containing various sugar alcohols was significantly higher than that of the control (p<0.05), while replacing sucrose with glycerol yielded the highest moisture content. The shear force of semi-dried jerky containing sugar alcohols was not significantly different for the sorbitol and glycerol treatments, but that replacing sucrose with 5.0% xylitol demonstrated the lowest shear force (p<0.05). The TBARS values of semi-dried jerkies with sugar alcohols were lower than the control (p<0.05). The sugar content of the semi-dried jerkies containing sorbitol and glycerol were lower than the control and xylitol treatment (p<0.05). In comparison with the control, the 5.0% xylitol treatment was found to be significantly different in the sensory evaluation (p<0.05). In conclusion, semi-dried jerky made by replacement with sugar alcohols improved the quality characteristics, while xylitol has applicability in manufacturing meat products.

The purpose of this study was to develop a functional hasuo (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) muffin prepared via the replacement of sucrose (SM) with oligosaccharide (fructooligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide). The fructooligosaccharide-added hasuo muffin showed the highest weight while the volume and specific volume were lower in the oligosaccharide-added group than in the sucrose-added sample. The pH of the sucrose-added sample was higher than that of the oligosaccharide-added sample. The lowest lightness value was found in the sucrose-added sample, but the highest redness and yellowness values were found in the sucrose-added sample. The springiness and cohesiveness were highest in the fructooligosaccharide-added sample. The DPPH-radical-scavenging activity of the hasuo muffin including sucrose was 38.67, while that including the oligosaccharide group ranged from 42.87 to 65.95. In the sensory evaluation of the hasuo muffin, the fructooligosaccharide-added sample obtained the highest score in after-swallow, flavor, taste, and texture. The hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide obtained high scores in overall acceptability. These results suggest that hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide have the potential to become commercially successful muffins.
