This study examines the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of fermented Codonopsis lanceolata tea according to the heating temperature and time. The browning, turbidity, reducing sugar, total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents all increased with increasing of heating temperature and time, but the pH decreased within the range of error. In particular, the total polyphenol contents of the heat treatment sample for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ are increased to about 4.5 times of 713.71mg/100ml as compared to the control group. From the results of the antioxidant activity test, as both the heating temperature and time increases, the antioxidant activity was increased for DPPH radical-scavenging activity, FRAP and reducing its power. In the case of the samples treated with heat for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ in the DPPH radical scavenging ability, it increased about twice more than the 45.17% control plot at 85.40%, and the reducing power and FRAP were increased to approximately two or three times more than the control group. According to the results for sensory test of fermented C. lanceolata tea according to heating temperature and time, the preference was confirmed as high by heat treatment due to increased temperature and time. Heat treatment process of C. lanceolata during the process is determined by the conditions required for high value-added products through the improvements of the taste and functionality of C. lanceolata.

In the present study, we investigated the quality characteristic of old pumpkin extract treated with enzymes. As a results, all the groups treated with pectinase were better in quality characteristic than control group and the group treated with 0.15％(w/w) pectinase was specially great. All the groups treated with simultaneous pectinase and cellulase were higher in the extraction rate than the groups treated with pectinase or cellulase. The experimental groups were divided into non-treated control(I) and three treatment groups(II- IV) for optimum condition of enzyme treatment. The II and IV groups were treated with 0.15％(w/w) pectinase and 0.15％(w/w) cellulase, respectively, and the ill group was treated with both 0.15％(w/w) petinase and 0.05％(w/w) cellulase. Yield for old pumpkin extract of the III group (86.94％) was higher than that of other groups, but there were no significant difference among the groups in soluble solide content and pH of the extract. Reducing sugar and total sugar contents in the ill group were 2.81％ and 4.60％, respectively. Total carotene content in the II group (5.36 mg％) was higher than other groups. Old pumpkin extracts in all the groups showed nitrite-scavenging ability to pH 1.2, 3.0 and 4.0. Total free amino acid content in the III group (176.7 mg％) was higher than other groups. Citrulline contents in the II and III groups were detected 1.66 and 1.41 mg％, respectively but the contents in other groups were not detected.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of makgeolli containing aronia, (Aronia melanocarpa (0-1.9%)). After an initial decrease in the range of pH from 4.93-5.04 to 3.43-3.61 over a period of 6 days, it gradually increased until 14 days. As the fermentation proceeded, sugar contents and reducing sugar contents initially increased in majority of the samples, and subsequently decreased after 2 days. Total acidity contents increased until 6 days and then became higher as the content of aronia increased. Total acidity levels were within the range of 0.50-0.62%. After 14 days of fermentation, the alcohol contents ranged between 11.97 and 14.13%. Over the same time span, the amino acid content increased from a range of 1.57-2.22 to 5.86-6.92%. The microbial cell count and yeast colony count increased over the initial 4 days and then gradually decreased. Total polyphenol content and total flavonoid of aronia makgeolli were significantly higher than those of the control group. Based on the sensory evaluation, makgeolli with 1.3% aronia demonstrated the highest overall acceptance.

Some flowers have high sensual appealability due to their unique shapes, colors, smells, and tastes. Such edible flowers receive social attention as a noble ingredient of functional teas. In this study, methanol extracts of 23 commercial flower teas (CFTs) were prepared, and their color differences were compared. No tar color pigments were detected in the 23 CFT. The average content of total polyphenol of the 23 CFTs was 80.2±50.92 mg/g and the extracts of jin-dal-rae (Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz), mae-hwa (Prunus mume), mae-mil (Fagopyrum esculentum), mok-ryun (Magnolia kobus), and sal-gu (Prunus armeniaca var. ansu Maxim) flowers showed total polyphenol contents greater than 150 mg/g. The average content of total sugar of the 23 CFTs was 187.4±166.5 mg/g and the extracts of chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), kuk-hwa (Chrysanthemum morifolium), dong-baek (Camellia japonica L.), and won-chu-ri (Hemerocallis fulva) flowers showed total sugar contents greater than 400 mg/g. Among the 23 CFTs, the extract of jang-mi (Rosa hybrida hortorum) flower has prominent anti-thrombosis activity, and the extracts of dal-ma-ji (Oenothera lamarckiana), dong-baek, hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus), and mae-mil flowers showed strong inhibitions against thrombin and blood coagulation factors. Also, the extracts of jang-mi, kum-jan-hwa (Tagetes erecta L.), mae-mil, mok-ryun dong-baek, and jin-dal-rae flower showed strong radical scavenging activities against DPPH, ABTS, and nitrite and reducing power. Our results suggest that the flowers of jang-mi, mae-mil, and dong-baek can be developed as promising anti-thrombosis treatments.

This study aimed to create a standardized recipe using three cultivars of tomatoes (Chal-tomato, Daejeo-tomato, Blacktomato) and select an appropriate tomato for producing tomato Jangajii through quality and sensory evaluation. With regard to the proximate composition of tomato Jangajii, moisture and ash contents of Chal-tomato were highest in the early stage of storage, whereas moisture, crude protein and ash contents of Black-tomato were highest in the final stage of storage. Daejeotomato showed minimal changes in pH, but showed the highest salt and sugar contents. L value increased with increasing storage time and then decreased thereafter (p<0.001). The a and b values decreased with increasing storage time and then increased thereafter (p<0.001). The reducing sugar content increased with increasing storage time and then decreased thereafter (p<0.001). With regard to Daejeo-tomato, hardness was the highest (p<0.001), and total microbial counts were lowest (p<0.001). Daejeo-tomato showed the lowest activities of PME as a softening enzyme and PG. For sensory properties, Daejeo-tomato showed a relatively high preference for all items except aroma. Based on the above results, Daejeo-tomato Jangajii showed superior quality characteristics and high preference in general among tomato Jangajii from all three cultivars of tomatoes. Therefore, Daejeo-tomato Jangajii is useful as low-sodium tomato Jangajii in light of quality characteristics and preference.

For the ultimate manufacture of vinegar with watermelon juice, we examined the preliminarily alcoholic fermentation of watermelon juice using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus and Kluyveromyces fragilis. The juice contained 3.2% total reducing sugar by the Somogyi-Nelson method. Strains of yeast culture, pH, temperature and concentration of sugar in the juice were important factors affecting alcoholic fermentation. Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus produced 5.3% alcohol from the juice fortified with 12% glucose under the conditions of pH 5.73 and $27^{\circ}C$ for 8 days. Generally, small quantities of various salts and N-sources affected little the alcoholic fermentation of the juice. The sterilization of the juice by autoclaving improved efficiency of fermentation than that by $SO_2$ sterilization. Determination of alcohol was carried out by the gas chromatographic method using Chromosorb W: Carbowax as packing material.

This study was examined the quality characteristics of 20 types of non-sterilized commercial Makgeolli. These samples are classified according to firm size, enterprise Makgeolli(4 samples), prize-winning Makgeolli(6) and local Makgeolli(10). The alcohol contents of Makgeolli was determinded as follows: enterprise Makgeolli(6.18%), local Makgeolli(7.11%), and award-winning( 7.87%). Enterprise Makgeolli(0.24%) showed higher total acidity than award-winning and local Makgeolli(0.21%). In addition, pH levels were as follows: local Makgeolli(3.75), award-winning Makgeolli(3.77), and enterprise Makgeolli(4.09). Enterprise Makgeolli had the lowest sugar content. According to the sensory evaluation, three grades were identified based on balance and taste(5 points). The upper grade(more than 3 points) showed a higher pH, reducing sugar, higher aminoacidity, more soluble solids, and larger color differences than other grades. There were no significant differences in the level of acidity across the grades. The alcohol and volatile acid contents of the upper grade were lower than the middle(2.0-2.9 points) and lower(under 2.0 points) grades. Further research should provide a quality analysis of leavening agents and fermentation conditions, and a sensory evaluation.
