Cereal grains are the dietary staple in many countries, including the Republic of Korea. These grains are usually consumed cooked. Korean grown raw and cooked brown non-glutinous rice (BNR), white non-glutinous rice (WNR), oats, and barley were analyzed to assess the effects of cooking on dietary fiber and free sugar content. The largest decrease in total dietary fiber (TDF) after cooking was observed in barley (11.62±1.26 to 2.96± 0.90 g/100 g), and the smallest decrease was observed in oats (8.1±0.34 to 8.1±0.32 g/100 g). Soluble dietary fiber decreased in oats (3.35±0.94 to 1.25±0.03 g/100 g) while insoluble dietary fiber increased (4.76±0.78 to 6.90±0.30 g/100 g) after cooking. TDF content was not changed. Of the six free sugars routinely assessed, only sucrose was detected in BNR and WNR. Sucrose decreased by about 0.6 g/100 g in BNR, and was not detected in WNR, after cooking. Fructose, sucrose, and raffinose were detected in oats (0.08, 0.83, and 0.19 g/100 g) and barley (0.09, 0.58, and 0.22 g/100 g) Maltose was also detected in barley (0.09 g/100 g). Total sugar content decreased in every cereal grain sample after cooking. This research reveals that dietary fiber and free sugar content can be reduced by cooking cereal grains.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of the Korean rice wine, makgeolli, supplemented with omija berries (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) during the fermentation. The changes in pH, total acidity and contents of ethanol, amino acid, total soluble solids, reducing sugar, and total sugar after the completion of fermentation were determined. In comparison with control, omija-supplemented makgeolli showed significantly lower pH (3.46), lower contents of alcohol (17.2%), amino acids (1.85 g/L), and total sugar (17.5 g/L), and higher acidity (12.8 g/L). Moreover, supplementation with omija resulted in significantly higher antioxidant capacity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, superoxide dismutase-like activity and reducing power, and higher levels of total polyphenol and flavonoid. Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference on the overall acceptance, although better appearance and refreshing taste of omija-supplemented makgeolli were observed. Our results indicate that omija represents an effective natural additive for enhancing the biological activities of makgeolli.

Changes in biochemical constituents and physiological alteration were studied in various intensities (1-5%, 6-15%, 16-30%, 31-50% and ＞ 50%) of leaf spot (Myrothecium roridum) on mulberry leaves and compared with healthy leaves. Chlorophyll, total soluble sugar and total protein were decreased (P ＜ 0.01), but total phenol increased due to pathogen infection. Changes in biochemical constituents showed significant correlation with intensity of disease. Chlorophyll ($r^2$= 0.92), and protein (($r^2$= 0.83) possessed negative while phenol (($r^2$= 0.61) possessed positive correlation. Photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, moisture content (%) and physiological water use efficiency (pWUE) were decreased, but stomatal resistance increased in the infected leaves. Physiological parameters also possessed significant (P ＜ 0.01) correlation with disease intensity. Photosynthetic rate (($r^2$= 0.96), transpiration rate ($r^2$=0.88), stomatal conductance (($r^2$= = 0.65), physiological water use efficiency (($r^2$= 0.88) and moisture content (r = 0.85) were negatively but stomatal resistance (($r^2$= 0.75) was positively correlated to disease intensities.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of traditional wine using an radio-frequency identification (RFID) system annexed to a fermenter. In this study, we proposed an RFID-based data transmission scheme for monitoring fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages. The pH, total acidity, total sugar, soluble sugar, free sugar, alcohol content, and organic acids of were investigated and subjected to fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages three times. The pH ranged from 7.98, 7.95, and 7.68 at day 0, decreased drastically to 3.31~2.96 at day 2, and then slowly increased to the end point, finally reaching 3.34 at day 20. Acidity tended to increase quickly with time, especially for all samples after day 2. The fermentation environment induced a sudden increase acidity in reactants and indicated a low pH. The total sugars during fermentation quickly decreased to the range of 20.3, 22.43, and 19.2% at day 2, and the slope of reduction steadily decreased to 5.1, 6.1, and 4.8% at day 10. On the other hand, the alcohol content showed the reverse trend as total sugars. The alcohol content also showed the same pattern as total acids, showing the highest alcohol content of 17.3% (v/v) on day 20. In this study on traditional wine fermentation using an RFID system, we showed that pH, soluble sugar, and alcohol content can be adopted as key indicators for quality control and standardization of traditional wine manufacturing.

Berberis chitria (family Berberidaceae) has a close affinity with B. aristata, used in traditional systems of medicine as a drug 'Daruharidra' for skin disease, jaundice, affection of eyes, and rheumatism. Keeping this in view, in the present study attempts have been made to identify marker characters of B. chitria in order to differentiate the two species. Some of the diagnostic features of the root are patches of pericyclic fibre, pitted sclerieds and berberine containing cells and heterocyclic medullary rays. Besides, the physicochemical characters such as total ash; acid insoluble ash; alcohol and water soluble extractive; tannins; sugar and starch percentages has shown variations. The percentage of berberine as berberine hydrochloride was also calculated through HPTLC densitometric method and it was found little higher than B. aristata and B. asiatica i.e. 3.16%. Thus, this species can be utilized as a possible substitute to Daruharidra.

Strawberry pulp was separated into serum and insoluble pulp by centrifugation and the serum was concentrated in vacuo to five folds at 55~58$^{\circ}C$ and 30~60mmHg. Concentrated strawberry pulp was prepared by mixing of concentrated serum and insoluble pulp. To evaluate the quality changes of straw-berry pulp, color, physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed after concentration and during 18 weeks storage at -18'2. The results obtained from the study were as follows : during 18 weeks storage at - l8$^{\circ}C$, soluble solid, browning, reducing sugar content were increased and total anthocyanin, vitamin C, apparent viscosity were decreased. The result of sensory evaluation indicated that texture of concentrated pulp was inferior to that of control but flavor, color intensity and overall acceptance were not different from each other.

Chemical composition was determined to evaluate the quality of Panel ginseng-leaf tea over green teas. Ginseng-leaf tea was shown to contain higher contents of soluble matter, ascorbic acid and lower contents of tannins, as compared to tea leaves. The profiles of ginsenoside and sugar of ginseng-leaf tea were noticeably different from those of ginseng roots and the sample maintained high levels of these components under the manufacturing process. Total unsaturated fatty acids and free amino acids were estimated to be decreased in ginseng-leaf tea as compared to those of ginseng leaves. The compositions of amino acids and minerals in ginseng-leaf tea were similar to those of tea leaves and glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, calcium, potassium, sodium, and copper were found to be major components.
