The effects of the addition of apricot juice on Haengbyung qualities were evaluated. The reducing sugar contents, degree of gelatinization, moisture contents, color L value and b value of Haengbyung were decreased but the color a value and hardness were increased during the storage. The reducing sugar contents and gelatinization of Haengbyung with the raw apricot juice was decreased less than those with the steamed apricot juice during the storage. the moisture contents of Haengbyung were decreased less than Baeksulgi. Color b value of Haengbyung with the raw apricot juice was decreased less than that with the steamed apricot juice. The consistence, moistness, texture and overall quality of Haengbyung were generally more favorable than Baeksulgi based upon the sensory evaluation during the storage. Throughout the storage, consistence, moistness and texture of Haengbyung with the rqw apricot juice were generally more favorable than those with the steamed apricot juice. With respect to overall quality, Haengbyung with the addition of 15% apricot juice of rice flour weight was generally the most favorable during the storage.

This studies were conducted to investigate the effect of extraction and evaporating conditions on the free sugar in ginseng extracts. Raw ginseng roots were extracted with water or various concentration of water-ethanol solutions. Then the extracts were evaporated by boiling or vacuum evaporated at 50 $^{\circ}C$ and 70 $^{\circ}C$. The results are as follows Sucrose and maltose contents were 7.95% and 12.8% in water extracts and 19.96%, 0.34-0.93% in 90% ethanol extracts, respectively. On the otherhand, glucose and fructose contents were not affected by the solvents. Evaporating conditions, such as temperature, were rarely effected to the sugar contents.

The objective of this study is to understand how regulatory mechanisms respond to sugar status for more efficient carbon utilization and source-sink regulation in plants. So, we need to identify and characterize many components of sugar-response pathways for a better understanding of sugar responses. For this end, genes responding change of sugar status were screened using Arabidpsis cDNA arrays, and confirmed thirty-six genes to be regulated by sucrose supply in detached leaves by RNA blot analysis. Eleven of them encoding proteins for amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were repressed by sugars. The remaining genes induced by sugar supply were for protein synthesis including ribosomal proteins and elongation factors. Among them, I focused on three hydrolase genes encoding putative $\beta$-galactosidase, $\beta$-xylosidase, and $\beta$-glucosidase that were transcriptionally induced in sugar starvation. Homology search indicated that these enzymes were involved in hydrolysis of cell wall polysaccharides. In addition to my results, recent transcriptome analysis suggested multiple genes for cell wall degradation were induced by sugar starvation. Thus, I hypothesized that enzyme for cell wall degradation were synthesized and secreted to hydrolyze cell wall polysaccharides producing carbon source under sugar-starved conditions. In fact, the enzymatic activities of these three enzymes increased in culture medium of Arabidopsis suspension cells under sugar starvation. The $\beta$-galactosidase encoded by At5g56870 was identified as a secretory protein in culture medium of suspension cells by mass spectrometry analysis. This protein was specifically detected under sugar-starved condition with a specific antibody. Induction of these genes was repressed in suspension cells grown with galactose, xylose and glucose as well as with sucrose. In planta, expression of the genes and protein accumulation were detected when photosynthesis was inhibited. Glycosyl hydrolase activity against galactan also increased during sugar starvation. Further, contents of cell wall polysaccharides especially pectin and hemicellulose were markedly decreased associating with sugar starvation in detached leaves. The amount of monosaccharide in pectin and hemicellulose in detached leaves decreased in response to sugar starvation. These results supported my idea that cell wall has one of function to supply carbon source in addition to determination of cell shape and physical support of plant bodies.

The free sugar content and related enzymes of four different parts, inner, outer, stylar end and stem end, of 'Changhowon Hwangdo' peach ($Prunus$ $persica$, L. Batsch) fruit were compared from August to September in 2006, i.e., from 120 to 150 days after full bloom (DAFB). The soluble solids content (SSC) of stylar end was the highest among the four fruit parts at 150 DAFB. Changes of free sugar content were similar to that of SSC in the four parts. The starch content at the stylar end was the highest at 120 DAFB, while all the other parts showed low starch contents at 150 DAFB. The free sugar composition of peach changed during fruit development. The sucrose was low at 120 DAFB and increased gradually in all parts of peach fruit. On the contrary glucose, fructose and sorbitol decreased with fruit development. The free sugar contents and related enzymes activities were investigated during fruit development. The rapid increase of sucrose contents during fruit development was more affected by sucrose synthase than sucrose phosphate synthase. Activity of SS in the four fruit parts increased continuously over the fruit development period, but activity of acid invertase showed a downward trend. This study found that the free sugar content was affected by enzyme activity for the synthesis or the cleavage. However, it was very difficult to explain sugar accumulation of peach segments with related-enzymes.

The Kinds of soy sauce were prepared using the brick type of conventional meju(A), the brick type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(B), and the grain type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(C). Free sugar and alcohol were analyzed in accordance to aging time of those products. Galactose, glucose, arabinose, xylose, and mannose were detected in all kinds of soy sauce. In soy sauce 4 galactose, glucose, arabinose, and xylose were shown in the order of content. The content of galactose in soy sauce A and soy sauce C were shown higher than that in soy sauce B alt during the time. The content of glucose was highest among that of all kinds of free sugars at the beginning of preparation, but the content of glucose was lower than that of arabinose and xylose after 60 days. The contents order of total free sugar was soy sauce C > soy sauce B > soy sauce A. The content of ethyl alcohol was shown 6.23∼19.10mg%, and that of isobutyl alcohol was 8.70∼ 169.03 ppm in all soy sauces, but those of soy sauce C was higher than those of other soy sauces.

We tested the hypothesis that alpine plants have special physiological and biochemical mechanisms in addition to their structural adaptation in order to survive under extreme conditions. The photosynthetic organs of Pinus pumila were used to examine the seasonal changes in sugar concentration, antioxidative enzyme, and lipid peroxidation. The concentrations of sucrose, glucose, fructose and reducing sugar were the highest in the leaves in April. But sugar contents in buds and inner barks did not respond sensitively on temperature change. Meanwhile superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity responded sensitively on the change of temperature and SOD in all tissues maintained high activity in April. Meanwhile anthocyanin content increased rapidly in June but the increase of anthocyanin content was not enough to prevent their tissues from the damage by the exposure of high temperature or other stress. In conclusion, under low temperature condition, P. pumila increased the concentration of soluble sugars and SOD activity in their tissues in order to overcome extreme environmental condition. But in summer, these stress defense system against high temperature might be disturbed slightly. This results in the increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in three tissues by lipid peroxidation.

The autoclave method and the traditional cooking method were compared for nutrients(especially, minerals), color difference, viscosity, reduction of sugar and amino nitrogen content of brown stock. The autoclave cooking method is better than the traditional cooking method for retaining protein and amino nitrogen contents, as well as for reducing sugar content. Also, reducing sugar content increased by the autoclave cooking method. Since the color of brown sauce was related with the reducing sugar content, the autoclave cooking method was more effective than the traditional cooking method for the color development of brown stock. Since the autoclave method can reduce the cooking time without a loss of quality in brown stock, the autoclave method is a viable alternative to the traditional method of preparing brown stock.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratio in preparing Omi-Galsu concentrate. By varying the amounts of Omija extract, mung bean juice, and sugar in the concentrate mixture, we found that pH increased with greater amounts of Omija extract and sugar. According to sensory evaluations, sugar and total free sugar contents were highest when the mixing ratio was 1:1:20%(Omija extract, mung bean juice, and sugar respectively). This ratio also presented the most attractive color and highest overall acceptability.

Recently, due to the cognition that obesity is the cause of adult diseases, interests of consumers in low-sugar and low-calorie foods are growing more and more. While various policies are being implemented to reduce sugar contents in processed foods, the reduced sweetness caused by lesser sugar content is complemented by using high-intensity sweeteners. Some of the typical high-intensity sweeteners are sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium and stevia, etc. Since the relative sweetness degree, sweetness profile, and physical properties of these sweeteners should be different from one another, it is important that all these characteristics are well-understood before applying them. Thus, the objective of this study is to introduce the properties and applications of high-intensity sweeteners in order to reduce sugar content of processed foods.

Excessive nitrogen fertilization influences crop yields and quality as well as environmental pollution. In this study, yields, nitrogen use efficiency and free sugar contents of burdock (Arctium lappa L.) were evaluated at different levels of nitrogen fertilization. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied at 5 levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200%) based on the conventional fertilization ($N=230kg\;ha^{-1}$), and phosphate and potassium fertilizer were treated by conventional P and K fertilization ($P_2O_5-K_2O=140-210kg\;ha^{-1}$) in all plots. The root yields of burdock were the highest in N 100~150% treatment plots. Nitrogen use efficiency and nitrogen recovery decreased from over N 150% treatment. Nitrogen uptake of root was greater than that of shoot in N 50~200% treatments. Fructose contents in root were inversely proportional to the level of nitrogen fertilization. As considering nitrogen recovery and root quality, economical burdock yield was obtained in N $230kg\;ha^{-1}$.
