In order to find a proper storage temperature and times for vegetable waxy corn, several waxy hybrids used in the study. Among waxy hybrids, stem height and ear length of Daehakchal and Eulrukchal hybrides were higher than Chalok#1 and #2 used as a check, but flowering daus were later about 7 days than check. Sugar content of Daehakchal was not almost changed at $-4^{\circ}C$ and below, whereas it was rapidly decreased at $4^{\circ}C$. Most hybrids with high sugar content were fast converted into starch than lower content hybrid. While moisture contents of waxy hybrids used were almost constant regardless of storage temperature in vegetable com packaged with poly ethylene vinyl. From these results, storage temperature of vegetable waxy corn was recommended at least $-4^{\circ}C$ below. Under the $-10^{\circ}C$ and below, storage period of vegetable waxy corn could prolong 60 days and above because sugar and moisture content of vegetable corn measure at $-10^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$ were almost no changed compared with those of fresh corn measured at harvest.

The purpose of this studies was analyzed moisture content, rheology and sensual test of jujube jungkwa by addition of water, sugar, fructose at processing of jujube jungkwa for development the optimization for processing of jujube jungkwa. The changes of moisture contents at process condition of jujube jungkwa were increased by increasing of sugar and water quantity. And moisture contents of jujube jungkwa were increased by high fructose quantity and low sugar quantity, but were decreased by high sugar and fructose quantity. The 'b' values of jujube jungkwa at low sugar quantity were decreased by the increasing of water quantity, but increased at high sugar quantity. The cohesiveness of jujube jungkwa at 0.03 kg of fructose were high by the increasing of sugar quantity, but those at 0.065 kg of fructose were high by the decreasing of sugar quantity. And those at 0.050 kg of fructose were similar without the quantity of sugar. The sweet taste of jujube jungkwa were increased by the increasing of water and fructose quantity. The characteristics of jungkwa at conditions of processing for the best quality of jujube jungkwa were 18-20% of moisture content, 2.0-3.0 of 'b' values, 3.0-3.2 of color scores, and 3.3-3.4 of sweet taste scores. The conditions of processing for the best quality of jujube jungkwa were determined to 0.95-1.04 L of water, 0.052-0.060 kg of fructose at 0.95 kg of sugar.

To determine the effect of r-irradiation on the microorganisms destruction and the changes of general constituents of Ginseng Powder, three samples were analyzed at 1st and 3rd month after r-irradiation. The results were as follows: 1. Total bacterial counts were decreased during storage as the irradiation dose increased. It seems that about 300 Krad was satisfactory to the regulation of ginseng powder. ($5.0 \times 10^4 /g$) 2. Coliform group was also decreased during storage as the irradiation dose increased. Coliform group was not detected at the irradiation dose higher than 500 Krad. 3. Total bacterial counts and coilform group were in proportion to the content of moisture in ginseng powder. 4. The contents of moisture, ash, crude protein, crude lipid and total sugar in ginseng powder during storage had nearly no changes. 5. The content of reducing sugar in ginseng powder during storage had the increasing tendencies as the irradiation dose increased. 6. The content of amino-nitrogen in ginseng powder during storage had the decreasing tendencies as the irradiation does increased.

The water sorption isotherms of binary mixtures, prepared by corn starch and isolated soybean protein (ISP) or casein, were measured and analyzed. Simple equations to predict moisture content from knowledge of composition and water activity of the mixture were derived by applying Response Surface Analysis. Comparison between predicted and experimental moisture content for 13 combinations of corn starch-lSP mixture at the range of $a_w$ 0.25-0.87 resulted in a maximum error of only 6.06% and an absolute mean error of 2.60%, and for the mixture of corn starch-casein the error was -4.39% and 2.12%, respectively. The agreement between experimental and predicted water sorption isotherms was shown to be 'highly acceptable' for the binary mixtures of 50% corn starch-50% ISP and 50% corn starch -50% casein.

Various Bam-dduk were prepared by using two kinds of chestnut flour (dried chestnut, boiled chestnut), 2 types of sugar (sugar and honey), and 3 levels of sugar (10, 20, 30 g), and they were evaluated for sensory quality, texture, moisture, and color. The addition of 10∼15% of dried chestnut flour to glutinous rice flour increased the graininess, moistness, chewiness, and sweetness of Bam-dduk, and the addition of 30∼40% boiled chestnut flour increased the graininess, moistness, and sweetness, depending up on the types and levels of sugar. The use of 10% dried chestnut flour and 30 $m\ell$ of honey gave the highest value of springiness in Bam-dduk. Gumminess, hardness and chewiness were the highest with 15％ dried chestnut flour and 20 g sugar. Cohesiveness was the strongest at 30% boiled chestnut flour and 10 $m\ell$ honey. Adhesiveness was most proper when 30 g sugar was added to 10％ dried chestnut flour. The use of boiled chestnut flour gave higher moisture content in Bam-dduk (32.2∼41.3%) than the use of dried chestnut flour (29.6∼34.2%). The values of 'L' (67.43) and 'b' (18.07) were most intensive in Bam-ddfik prepared with 15% dried chestnut and 20 g sugar, and the replacement of 20 g sugar with 30 $m\ell$ of honey gave the highest 'a' value, 2.33.

Yacon syrup, which contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), was used as a substitute for sugar to make functional healthy sponge cake. Regarding characteristics of sponge cake with various yacon syrup concentrations, height and volume decreased while moisture content increased with increasing yacon syrup concentration. Sponge cake with increasing yacon syrup content showed a greater green-yellowish color. Springiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and brittleness decreased with increasing yacon syrup concentration. Hardness values of cakes made with 100% sugar (YS 0) and yacon syrup substitute for 10% sugar (YS 10) were not significantly different. Overall acceptance of sponge cake decreased with increasing yacon syrup content, whereas those of YS 0 and YS 10 were not significantly different. For storage period, moisture content of sponge cake with increasing yacon syrup concentration decreased during storage, whereas the decreasing moisture content was less than that of YS 0. The color of sponge cake with various yacon syrup concentrations did not change significantly during storage. Springiness and cohesiveness decreased during storage. Hardness increased with storage period, whereas that of sponge cake made with yacon syrup was lower than that of YS 0. In conclusion, sponge cake made with YS 10 is the best to make sponge cake with high consumer acceptance, reduced sugar content, and FOS.

This study was conducted to optimize the level of sugar added (20 (control), 15, 10, 5%) during the preparation of soy sauce-salted mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi without affecting the degree of preference. The salinity and sugar content during storage of soy sauce-salted mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi decreased significantly as the level of sugar added decreased. The moisture content was found to increase as the level of sugar added decreased. Additionally, the pH increased, while hardness decreased as the level of sugar added decreased during 3 weeks of storage. The L value (lightness) was not different from that of the control group until the addition of 10% sugar, while the a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) increased. The antioxidant activity of vitamin C content and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased as sugar content decreased. Upon sensory evaluation of mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi, the highest value in appearance was observed for the 5 and 15% treatments, while 5% had the highest flavor value, 15 and 10% had the highest taste values, 10 and 15% had the highest texture values, the control and 5% had the greatest clarification values, and the 15 and 10% groups had the greatest overall acceptance. These results suggest that a sugar level of 15% can be used without significantly affecting the overall acceptance.

This study compared the physicochemical properties of root hair of white ginseng (WG), root hair of tissue cultured mountain ginseng (MG), root hair of red ginseng (RG) and extruded ginseng samples. The comparison of crude ash and total sugar resulted insignificant differences between extruded and raw samples. MG had a higher content of crude ash, crude protein, amino acids and polyphenolic compound than WG and RG; the total sugar and reducing sugar were highest in RG. Crude fat and acidic polysaccharide in RG and WG were similar to and higher than MG. Crude saponin of treated samples WG1 (moisture content 25%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$) and WG3 (moisture content 35%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$) were 9.80% and 9.73%, respectively, which were the highest among ginseng samples. In conclusion, the extrusion process can be applied to red ginseng manufacturing, and some characteristics of MG were higher than in RG and WG.

In this study, four cultivars of strawberry commonly grown in South Korea, 'Daewang', 'Seolhyang', 'Maehyang', and 'Ssanta', were evaluated for several qualities, including the presence of phytochemicals, sugar content, organic acids, and fruit hardness. The plants were cultivated on a high-bench bed system in a plastic greenhouse and drip irrigated. Fruit samples were collected three times in February 2013 to analyze the fruit characteristics. We found that the fruit hardness of the 'Daewang', 'Maehyang', and 'Ssanta' cultivars was greater than that of 'Seolhyang', however 'Seolhyang' showed the highest moisture content of all the cultivars, indicating that fruit hardness was negatively associated with moisture content. Furthermore, 'Seolhyang' was found to have the highest levels of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins compared to the other cultivars. 'Maehyang' had the highest amount of total sugars. 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang' accumulated higher amounts of total organic acids. As a result, 'Daewang' and 'Maehyang' were expected to be preferred by consumers because they had the highest ratio of sugar to total acid in their fruit.

The study examined the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of injeolmi when sugar was substituted to sugar alcohol such as sorbitol and xylitol. The moisture content, crude protein content, crude fat content, crude ash content, energy value, redness, water activity, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness were not significantly different between the control with sugar and treatments with the sugar alcohol group (p>0.05). The lowest sugar content of injeolmi was observed in the treatment with sorbitol (T1). The adhesiveness of control was higher than that in treatment with sugar alcohol (p<0.05), but control had the lowest springiness (p<0.05). Although the sensory characteristics on color, flavor, tenderness did not show any statistical significance, the sweetness and the overall acceptability were the best in control and T5 group, which replaced sugar to 100% xylitol (p<0.05). The results of this study show that substitution by xylitol improved quality characteristics in injeolmi.
