This study examined the manufacturing characteristics of sweet potato doenjang in order to gain a more efficient use of the sweet potato. Sweet potato(Sinwhangmi, Sinjami) koji(mixed sweet potato paste and soybean powder in a ratio of 1:1) was cultured with Aspergillus oryzae KCCM 11372 at $35^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Sweet potato doenjang was fermented for 60 days using a sweet potato koji(20%, 45%) and steamed soybean(70%, 45%), with salt accounting for 10%. The glutamic acid content was determined to be much higher in sweet potato doenjang using Sinwhangmi koji(45%) and steamed soybean (45%), than that of general doenjang. The DPPH radical scavenging activity has the largest $EC_{50}$(0.9 mg) in sweet potato doenjang using Sinjami potatoes 45%. Sensory evaluation indicated a good preference for sweet potato doenjang using Sinwhangmi(45%) and steamed soybean(45%).

Purpose: To increase the availability of Korean sweet potato (SP), the quality characteristics of the sweet potato pastes (SPPs) and rice madeira cake (RMC) using them were investigated. Methods: Ten different SPPs, orange fleshed Sinwhangmi, Juwhangmi, purple fleshed Sinjami and Yeonjami, Cream fleshed Sinyulmi, Sinchunmi, and newly developed Geonwhangmi, Dahomi, Daeyumi, and Pongwonmi were used. Their pastes were prepared by washed, peeled, steamed, crushed, vacuum packed and stored in a freezer until use. Results: The SPPs and RMC with them were significant difference from different cultivars with color value, rheology and texture properties, and preference test. The SPP showed the highest lightness value in Sinchunmi (55.89) and the highest viscosity in Geonhwangmi (55.33 poise). The RMCs with SPPs had lower values in hardness and chewiness than the RMC without SPP. Overall quality of preference test showed the highest values in RMC with Sinyulmi and Sincheonmi. Conclusion: The best quality of sweet potato shaped rice madeira cake was made using Sinyulmi and Sinchunmi pastes. It is suggested that sweet potato paste is possible to use as the biomaterials for application of processed foods.

Sweet potato-malt worts were prepared by using sweet potato paste of Shinyulmi and Shinjami as the main adjunct, enzymes, malt, hop, and water. We brewed low-malt beers of the lager- or ale-type by using these worts and inoculating bottom and top fermenting yeast, respectively. Moreover, the componential and functional characteristics of the resulting beers were evaluated. During saccharification of sweet potato, the addition of an enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ caused an improvement in filterability and an increase of total sugar. The sugar content of sweet potato-malt wort which was prepared by the addition of 0.1% enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ and a three-step infusion procedure was $13.5^{\circ}Brix$ adequate for beer brewing. The polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of Shinjami beer were increased with increasing content of the paste, and also increased DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. But in Shinyulmi beer it were decreased. A strong correlation was obserbed between antioxidave activities and polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of sweet potato beers. In all lager- and ale-type low-malt beers using 41.6% of Shinjami pastes, sensory attributes very similar to those of 100% malt beer were obtained and they were very good as they had unique red color.

War against Japanese(1592-1599) and war against Manchurian(1636-1637), which had been occurred in Korean Peninsula throughout the history, and frequent trade with foreign countries since $18^{th}$ century have led to a distribution of foreign food into Korea. Several examples for this include tomato, apple, watermelon, maize, pea, cowpea, peanut, potato from China and red pepper, pumpkin, and sweet potato from Japan. Since these foods had been brought into Korea, they have been cultivated suitable for Korea's climate and land. Foreign foods with a few exceptions tend to have high calories. For instance, along with potato and sweet potato, pumpkin is considered a high-calorie food containing lots of starches as it becomes ripening. This helped a wide spread of the foreign foods across the nation where intake of high-calorie foods was critical for Korean people's nutrition at that time. Among those foods introduced from foreign countries, red pepper had a greatest impact on the dietary life-style of Chosun Dynasty. The use of red pepper has been greatly expanded from main ingredient to seasoning and garnishing in various forms of red pepper such as red pepper paste, red pepper powder, and thick soy paste mixed with red pepper. Red pepper was made eating habits is hot besides dye red colored to traditional food, because steaming and boiling is frequently cook method, fermentation food also food color is achromatic therefore food color is and mixture with red pepper, picked fish and chinese cabbage new kimchi culture came into being.

Starch was isolated from nine Korean sweet potato varieties(Shinmi, Seangmi, Yulmi, Shinyulmi, Sunmi, Jeungmi, Mokpo 26, Mokpo 29, and Mokpo 30) and analysed in its physicochemical properties in comparison with a commercial sweet potato starch(Kumokanyu) imported from China. Protein content in the isolated starch was highest(1.1%) in Mokpo 29 and lowest(0.3%) in Kumokanyu, whereas lipid content was equally less than 0.2%. Pasting analysis by Rapid Viscoanalyser(RVA) showed that Yulmi starch had the lowest pasting temperature(70.2oC) whereas Kumokanyu did the highest one (74.3oC). Under a differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), however, Kumokanyu showed the lowest onset temperature(61.8oC) and enthalpy(42.0 J/g) for crystal melting. Shinyulmi showed the highest peak viscosity of the starch paste, but shear thinning was significant like commercial potato starch. Kumokanyu, however, displayed the least peak visicosity but good shear stability. With the starch gels prepared at 4oC, Mokpo 29 showed the highest hardness, whereas Shinyulmi did the lowest one. Against repeated freeze thawing treatments, the starch gel of Kumokanyu was most stable, and among the Korean varieties, Yulmi, Shinyulmi, Jeungmi and Mokpo 26 had good stability. According to the chain distribution analysis, Shinyulmi and Mokpo 29 consisted of larger quanitites of shorter amylopectin chains than Kumokanyu, potato and corn starches.

This study examined the flow properties, paste clarity, freeze-thaw stability and gel strength of acetylated sweet potato starch (ASPS) pastes and gels as a function of degree of substitution (DS). ASPS showed high shear-thinning flow behaviors with high Casson yield stress ($\sigma_{oc}$). Consistency index (K), apparent viscosity ($\eta_{a,100}$) and $\sigma_{oc}$ values of ASPS increased with an increase in DS. In the temperature range of $25{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, ASPS followed an Arrhenius temperature relationship. The activation energies (Ea=13.2~14.3 kJ/mol) of the ASPS samples were much lower than that (18.1 kJ/mol) of the native sweet potato starch (SPS). ASPS gels showed better freeze-thaw stability with a significant decrease in syneresis (%) compared to SPS gel. The gel strength values of ASPS were much lower than that of SPS, and significantly decreased with an increase in DS. The clarity of native SPS paste increased after acetylation.

Gelatinization and retrogradation properties of modified starches which were prepared by steeping sweet potato at $40^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, 7 and 10 days were investigated. The peak temperature of gelatinization and enthalpy of untreated starch by DSC were $53.9^{\circ}C\;and\;1.32\;cal/g$, respectively, but those of modified starch were increased by steeping. In gelatinization by alkali, starches with 2, 4 and 7 day steeping showed higher viscosities than untreated starch, whereas the viscosities of starches with 10 day steeping decreased. The clarities in paste decreased during storage in all starches and decreased in starches with steeping. The degrees of retrogradation by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method were higher in starches with steeping than untreated starch. The enthalpy of retrograded starches by DSC increased by steeping except 4 day steeping starch. The sweet potato extract containing sugar inhibited the retrogradation of starch paste and the degree were higher in residual starches than in untreated starch.

Organic acids of Kochuzang (red pepper paste) prepared from glutinous rice, polished barley, wheat flour and sweet potato were analyzed by a gas chromatography. Lactic, pyruvic, succinic, fumaric, malic, pyroglutamic and citric acid were identified. And trace amount of oxalic acid was found in the Kochuzang prepared from sweet potato. The dominant organic acid of all samples was pyroglutamic acid, followed by pyruvic and citric acid. The organic acids were lower in Kochuzang from wheat flour than in other samples. The contents of succinic and fumaric acid were highest in Kochuzang prepared from sweet potato and were lowest in polished barley Kochuzang.

Physicochemical properties of commercial sweet potato starches manufactured by 7 different companies were investigated in comparison with corn and potato starches. Crude ash and protein content varied from 0.36 to 1.02%, and from 0.04 to 0.14% based on dry weight, respectively. The protein contents were relatively smaller than that of corn or potato starch. But whiteness of the sweet potato starches was less than that of corn or potato starch. Mean diameter of the sweet potato starch granules varied from 14.23 to $21.08\;{\mu}m$ depending on the company and all sweet potato starches showed bimodal size distributions. Pasting viscosity measured by Rapid Viscoanalyzer(RVA) also showed variations among the starches of different companies. The starch from D company in Korea had the lowest pasting temperature$(74.00^{\circ}C)$ whereas the starch from a phillippine company(P) did the highest one$(80.35^{\circ}C)$. The peak viscosity of sweet potato starches was higher than that of corn starch but lower than that of potato starch. The D company starch also showed the highest peak viscosity(2283 cp) among the starches tested. Paste breakdown by hot shearing ranged from 524 cp (S company) to 1279 cp (HL company). Textural properties of the starch gels appeared significantly different among the starches of different manufacturers. The greatest hardness of the gel was $137.90\;g_{f}$ at 1 day storage whereas the lowest value was $31.53\;g_{f}$. Except the starches from 2 companies (P and S), the sweet potato starches formed very soft and weak gels. P or S company starches formed the gels similar to potato starch. Syneresis by freeze-thawing treatments appeared less for sweet potato starch gels than that for corn starch gels, but greater than that for potato starch gel. The overall properties of the sweet potato starches varied by the manufacturing companies, and ranged between those of corn and potato starches.

Purpose: The properties of starch and starch gel prepared from a newly inbred sweet potato, Daeyumi were compared to the properties of starch and starch gel prepared from Sinyulmi which is a well known mealy type sweet potato. Methods: The starch was isolated by using the alkaline steeping method. Physicochemical, pasting, and thermal properties, and crystallinity were measured. The texture properties of starch gel (10%, w/w) were examined. Results: The amylose contents of Daeyumi and Sinyulmi starches were 25.57% and 22.59%, respectively. The initial pasting temperature of Daeyumi starch was significantly higher than that of Sinyulmi starch (p<0.05), but other paste viscosities were not different. The peak and conclusion temperatures of Daeyumi starch were higher than those of Sinyulmi starch by differential scanning calorimetry. The shape of Daeyumi starch gel was more clear and rigid than the shape of Sinyulmi starch gel. The surface and the upper side of Daeyumi starch gel were smoother than the surface and the upper side of Sinyulmi starch gel. Hardness and gumminess were higher in Daeyumi starch gel than in Sinyulmi starch gel. The crystallinity types of Daeyumi and Sinyulmi starches were $C_b$ and A types, respectively, but starch gels showed an amorphous type. Conclusion: Therefore, it is suggested that Daeyumi starch would have better physicochemical properties and higher quality of starch gel than Sinyulmi starch.
