We developed and investigated sugar-soaked black soybean snack (SSBSS) to increase the availability of black soybean. The most desirable moisture contents and texture properties of hardness and gumminess in preparing SSBSS were obtained at a sugar concentration of $40^{\circ}brix$ for the first sugar soaking step and $50^{\circ}brix$ for the second sugar soaking process. Sensory evaluation also showed that SSBSS prepared with $40^{\circ}brix$ for first sugar soaking step and $50^{\circ}brix$ for the second sugar soaking process was graded higher than the other samples in all questionnaires. Prepared SSBSS had a final moisture content of $5.50{\pm}0.39%$, crude protein content of $16.25{\pm}0.07%$, and crude lipid content of $34.26{\pm}3.95%$. The ash and carbohydrate contents of SSBSS were $0.51{\pm}0.05%$ and $43.48{\pm}0.01%$, respectively, and the final glucose content was $10.20{\pm}0.10^{\circ}brix$. GABA concentration was $15.24{\pm}1.47\;mg$/g and the contents of daidzein, genistein, daidzin, and genistin were $695.7{\pm}6.08\;{\mu}g$/g, $810.6{\pm}3.9\;{\mu}g$/g, $755.8{\pm}39.6\;{\mu}g$/g, and $1640.7{\pm}390.8\;{\mu}g$/g, respectively. In addition, the phenolic compound and flavonoid contents in SSBSS were $0.16{\pm}0.01$ and $2.33{\pm}0.40\;mg$/g, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to establish fundamental research data for quality characteristics of Jochung by analyzing traditional manufacturing process. Two different processed rices (non-glutinous rices cooked by steaming and using an electronic rice cooker) were compared in terms of water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), paste viscosity, reducing suger content, solid content, and dextrose equivalent over soaking time. Reducing sugar content increased for the soaked non-glutinous rice, steamed sample and microwaved sample. After 4 hr, the WSI decreased as the soaking time increased. However, there was no significant difference between WAI of the raw non-glutinous rice and the soaked non-glutinous rice. As soaking time increased, paste and breakdown viscosity increased significantly. Rice was prepared by soaking in water for 12 hr followed by the saccharification time (4, 8, or 12 h) for manufacturing Jochung. The solid content and reducing sugar content of the Jochung increased as the soaking time increased. Reducing sugar content and dextrose equivalent of Jochung from steamed rice (cooked hard) were higher than those from microwaved ones. The amount of reducing sugar and dextrose equivalent was highest in Jochung from steamed rice cooked hard (saccarification for 12 hr), with 59.40${\pm}$0.11% and 76.99${\pm}$1.78, respectively. In conclusion, the highest quality characteristics were obtained in Jochung manufactured with non-glutinous rice soaked for 12 hr followed by sacharification for 12 hr.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the dextran formation and the internal structure of the chitosan-oligisaccharide(COS) Jeung-Pyun during the fermentation. To develop a functional Jeung-Pyun, COS was added to the rice at the level of 0, 2, 4, and 6% to the 2-hour-soaked rice. The pH, dextran and reducing sugar contents of COS batter, specific volume and the internal structure of COS were analyzed as a function of fermentation time. The specific volume of COS peaked at the 3 hour fermentation. The pH values of COS batters reduced with the fermentation time. The dextran content of the control batters peaked at the 7 hour fermentation. In contrast, the dextran contents of COS batters reduced up to 7th hour of fermentation, and then increased slowly until 20th hour of the fermentation process. From the air pore size and distribution of COS observed by SEM, the COS fermented fur 3 hour was judged as the best. It was concluded that COS prevented the fermation of dextran at the early stage of fermentation process.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of ginseng Jung Kwa and Jung Kwa solution prepared according to boiling frequency on Jung Kwa process. Ginseng Jung Kwa was made as follows: washed ginseng 8 kg was boiled 5 min with water 16 kg and then boiling water 8 kg was removed. Sucrose 10 kg was added to boiled ginseng soaking in hot water. Jung Kwa was boiled down for 60 min in sugar syrup and soaked for 24 hrs. According to the above process, Jung Kwa was boiled down 5 times. Moisture and pH of Jung Kwa and Jung Kwa solution decreased as the number of boiling time increased and $^{\circ}Brix$ of Jung Kwa solution increased. Crude saponin content of last Jung Kwa (GJ 6) increased to 4 times of raw ginseng. Content of Rf and Rd, component of ginsenosides, increased 77 and 16 times on Jung Kwa, respectively and content of crude saponin on last Jung Kwa solution (GJS 5) was 61.88 mg/g. The other ginsenosides on Jung Kwa decreased. As the number of boiling time increased, concentration of total sugar, glucose and fructose of Jung Kwa and Jung Kwa solution increased. Content of total organic acid on Jung Kwa decreased, especially, succinic acid, main organic acid of ginseng, decreased rapidly. L value of Jung Kwa decreased whereas a and b values increased.
