This study aimed to enhance the quality and sensory acceptability of dak-galbi sauce made from general tomatoes, plum tomatoes and canned tomatoes and find the most preferred quality characteristics and tomato type for the production of dak-galbi sauce. Dak-galbi sauce was blended with different concentrations of tomatoes (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%). As the amount of a tomato addition increased, the moisture contents, L-values, a-values and B-values significantly(p<0.001) increased while salinity, sugar contents and viscosity decreased. The attribute difference test showed that significant differences in such properties as color intensity, pungent flavor, pungent taste, mouthfeel were observed with more tomatoes added. Based on the results of this study, the optimal tomato content for maximizing the overall quality of dak-galbi sauce was 10~20% of general tomatoes or 20% of plum and canned tomatoes. More various kinds of dak-galbi sauce are expected to be developed through this study.

Tomato sauce were prepared with five different thickening agents including roux (TR), non-glutinous rice powder (TN), glutinous rice powder (TG), potato starch (TP) and tapioca starch (TT) to examine proximate composition (moisture, carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude ash), calorie, color value, pH, salinity, $^{\circ}Brix$, reducing sugar, viscosity and sensory test (attribute difference, acceptance). The results were as follows: Moisture, carbohydrate content were the lowest while crude fat and calorie were the highest in TR (roux). On the other hand, moisture, carbohydrate content were the highest while crude protein, crude fat and calorie were the lowest in TP (potato starch) and TT (tapioca starch). Using potato starch and tapioca starch are supposed to be prepared low-fat, low-calorie tomato sauce. L value was the highest in TN (non-glutinous rice powder), a value was the highest in TP (potato starch), b values was the highest in TR (roux). pH of tomato sauce showed a range of 5.24 to 5.39. TG (glutinous rice powder) was the highest and TT (tapioca starch) was the lowest in pH. TP (potato starch) was the highest salinity, reducing sugar was the lowest. TG (glutinous rice powder) was the lowest salinity, $^{\circ}Brix$ was the highest. And TR (roux) was the lowest $^{\circ}Brix$, reducing sugar was the highest. In viscosity, TG (glutinous rice powder) was the highest and TT (tapioca starch) was the lowest. The attribute difference test results was the highest in gloss, color intensity, tomato odor, tomato taste, pure taste in TT (tapioca starch) and savory taste, oily taste, thickness, residue was the highest in TR (roux). The preference test results reveal that the appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptance level was the highest in TP (potato starch) and TT (tapioca starch). The results of this study, tomato sauce prepared potato starch and tapioca starch instead of the traditional roux was higher in sensory acceptability. Recently, people is avoided high-fat and high-calorie foods, and potato starch and tapioca starch are confirmed that the tomato sauce can be made of a low-fat and low-calorie.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of crackers added with different concentrations (0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10%) of tomato concentrate. The study results found that pH and baking loss rate of crackers of the control were higher than those of the samples. On the other hand, density and moisture of crackers with 10% tomato concentrate were higher than those of the samples. Hunter L values of crackers decreased as concentration of tomato concentrate increased, whereas a and b values of crackers increased. In the texture analysis, hardness of crackers decreased according to concentration of tomato concentrate. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of crackers increased as concentration of tomato concentrate increased. In the sensory evaluation, taste, color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability of crackers added with 5% tomato concentrate were higher than those of other samples. Therefore, the results suggest that addition of 5% tomato concentrate is effective for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of crackers.

In this study, we investigated the effects of ripened tomato on the Baechukimchi fermentation, by measuring sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological properties during fermentation up to 28 days. The Baechukimchi, with various levels [0, 10, 20, 30%(w/v)] of ripened tomato, was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. The product containing 20% ripened tomato showed the highest scores for overall acceptability, sour taste, texture, sour smell, and color. The intensity characteristic scores related to sour smell and sour taste were the highest in the control, and the texture score was highest in the 20% ripened tomato sample. During fermentation, total acidity increased while pH gradually decreased. The reducing sugar and total vitamin C contents of the experimental groups with added ripened tomato were higher than those of the control. Also, the time periods to reach maximum levels of lactic acid bacteria, by log numbers of cells and total viable cells, were more delayed in the experimental groups with added ripened tomato than in the control. Overall, the results indicate that a 20% addition of ripened tomato to Baechukimchi during fermentation can enhance sensory qualities and extended the palatable period of the product.

In order to help the preservation of the cherry tomato and unshiu orange, antimicrobial paper incorporating grapefruit seed extract and zeolite was applied to the package. Cherry tomato and unshiu orange were packed in a box (38x25x20 cm) attached with antimicrobial paper and then stored respectively at $5^{\circ}C$. During the storage, weight loss, pH total acidity, soluble solid content microbial load and decay ratio were measured as quality indices. pH increase in cherry tomato was observed until 20 days, and decreased with litle difference between the packaging treatments thereafter pH and total acidity decrease in unshiu orange were shown till 30 days, and abrupt change was revealed by 40 days. This was due to physiological disorders. The microbial loads of total aerobic bacteria, and yeast/mold count were suppressed during storage by the box packaging incorporated with antimicrobial agents, which also contributed to reducing the decayed cherry tomato and unshiu orange. Antimicrobial paper was useful fur the reduction of microbial load in cherry tomato and unshiu orange pear without other quality deterioration.

A simple spectrophotometric technique using sequential extraction of pigments was attempted to perform color evaluation of raw 'Taimuri' tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruits. The difference between summed absorbance of 80% acetone and chloroform extract at 480 nm and 660 nm reflected the maturity of rawtomato fruits. The measurement system presented was regarded as a simple and reliable method for objective color evaluation of tomato fruits. It seems possible to predict the degree of puffiness by weight per volume w/v ratio of tomato fruits during various stages of maturity.

Although cherry tomato is one of major vegetables consumed in fresh vegetable market, the quality grading method is mostly dependant on size measurement using drum shape sorting machines. Using Visible/Near-infrared spectroscopy, apparatus to be able to acquire transmittance spectrum data was made and used to estimate firmness, sugar content, and acidity of cherry tomatoes grown at hydroponic and soil culture. Partial least square (PLS) models were performed to predict firmness, sugar content, and acidity for the acquired transmittance spectra. To enhance accuracy of the PLS models, several preprocessing methods were carried out, such as normalization, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), standard normal variate (SNV), and derivatives, etc. The coefficient of determination ($R^2_p$) and standard error of prediction (SEP) for the prediction of firmness, sugar, and acidity of cherry tomatoes from green to red ripening stages were 0.859 and 1.899 kgf, with a preprocessing of normalization, 0.790 and $0.434^{\circ}Brix$ with a preprocessing of the 1st derivative of Savitzky Golay, and 0.518 and 0.229% with a preprocessing normalization, respectively.

The objective of this study was to analyze the waste nutrient generation loads from hydroponics for three major crops in Gyeongsangnam-do. Study hydroponic farms were selected for the three major crops such as paprika, strawberry, tomato based on the agricultural statistics data and field investigation. The flow amount and water quality for inflow and outflow of study hydroponic farms were monitored and analyzed on a monthly basis. Monitored samples were analyzed in terms of DO, BOD, T-N, T-P, SS, and EC. The generated load of BOD, T-N, and T-P were calculated from the monitored flow and water quality. The monitoring results showed that the drainage ratio for the circular hydroponic farm was lower than the non-circular hydroponic farm because the outflow from the circular hydroponics were much lower than that from the non-circular. The generated load calculation results showed that the BOD tended to have a smaller value than the TMDLs guideline for land, while T-N and T-P showed higher value than that from the TMDLs guideline. In order to effectively manage the pollutant load discharged from the hydroponics farming complex, it is necessary to manage the non-circulating hydroponics farm. To improve water quality, it is necessary to gradually expand the circulating hydroponics farm through policy and economic support.

Tomatoes were harvested at different ripening stages. To determine the ripening stages, We analyzed the relation between the compound concentrations of tomato measured with HPLC and the tomato RGB images. Among the compound concentrations, tomato quality is mostly affected by the Lycopene. The $Q^2$ error of the predicted Lycopene concentration and the corresponding independent component of tomato RGB image, determined from the PLS procedure, was 0.92. and we show the effectiveness of the independent component by comparing the error between the pixel area of RGB image applied by independent component and the simple black white tomato image. This regression made it possible to construct concentration images of the tomatoes, which showed non-uniform ripening. The method can be applied in an unsupervised real time sorting machine of unripe and discolored tomato using the compound concentrations.

The effects of tomato on the phsycochemical and sensory properties of meat patties during frozen storage were studied. Meat patties were produced with four different formulation including 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% chopped raw tomato. Meat patties made with the addition of tomato had higher(p<0.05) pH, L* and a* value than those of control sample. TBARS of all treatments were lower(p<0.05) when compared with those for control. In sensory evaluation, treatment groups resulted in slightly higher(p>0.05) score in overall acceptability. In the manufacture of functional meat patties containing tomato, further studied are needs on addition type and ratio of tomato materials during frozen storage than those of products without tomato.
