본 연구에서는 장미 시설재배 중에 나타나는 꽃목굽음현상(BPP, bent peduncle phenomenon)의 발생 양상을 이해 하고 증상 완화 방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험 계획은 BPP 를 인위적으로 유도하는 고온 처리와 BPP 증상을 완화하기 위한 비정상적인 꽃받침 제거 두 가지로 설계되었다. ‘Beast’ 대상 BPP 유도실험에서 화아분화 초기 BBS2단계(bud break stage 2, 신초길이 2±0.5cm)에 30℃ 이상 고온에서 쉽게 BPP가 유도되어 고온과 BPP의 연관성을 나타냈다. 또한 6품 종(‘Propose’, ‘Beast’, ‘Revue’, ‘Ocean Song’, ‘Iguana’) 을 대상으로 엽상화 꽃받침조각을 제거한 결과 BPP 완화에 미치는 효과는 품종 특이적이었으며, 품종에 따라 상이한 결 과를 보였다. 꽃받침조각 제거 처리로 BPP가 ‘Legato’와 ‘Revue’에서 유의하게 개선되었고, ‘Beast’와 ‘Iguana’에서 는 오히려 악화되었으며, ‘Propose’와 ‘Ocean Song’에서는 증상이 정지하여 효과적이었다.

보컬은 음정과 박자가 완벽하더라도 가사전달이 제대로 이루어지지 않으면 가사 의미가 정확하 게 전달되지 않는다. 이에 청중은 불편함을 느끼고, 객관적인 시각에서도 균형미를 갖춘 노래라 고 볼 수 없다. 따라서 기술적인 훈련과 함께 가사전달을 위한 발음훈련도 중요하다. 특히 받침 발음은 글을 혹은 가사를 소리 내어 발음할 때와 곡조에 따라 발음 할 때 각각 차이가 있으므로 이런 관점을 중심으로 연구하였다. 마야의 ‘진달래 꽃’을 기준으로 음표길이에 따라 각각의 발 음, 특히 받침 발음을 중점으로 분석하였다. 장르와 템포에 따라 딕션의 세기가 달라지고 가수마 다 구강 구조와 습관 및 가사 표현이 다르므로 받침 발음의 발음기호를 표준 할 수 없지만 이 연구 를 통해 음표 길이에 따라 모음 길이 및 연음 법칙이 변화된다는 결과를 도출하였다.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is a shrub which grows well in a tropical climate. There are large amounts of anthocyanins, organic acids and other compounds in roselle. Mostly, roselle is cultivated to use its red calyx. Its calyx is used as a natural food colorant and commonly consumed as a tea. This quality study was conducted to investigate the characteristics and antioxidant activities of Sulgidduck with roselle calyx powder. Four samples and a control were made with different ratios of added roselle calyx powder (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%). The moisture content of the 0.5%-sample was the highest as 40.60%, and that of the 2%-sample was the lowest as 37.37%. The pH of samples significantly decreased from 6.26 to 3.65 as the amount of roselle calyx powder increased (p<0.05). The L-value of samples also significantly decreased (p<0.05). In contrast, a-value and △E of samples significantly increased with elevated amounts of roselle calyx powder (p<0.05). The b-value of roselle calyx added Sulgidduck samples significantly increased compared to the control (p<0.05). Hardness and chewiness of Sulgidduck samples with added roselle calyx also significantly increased compared to the control (p<0.05). Cohesiveness of Sulgidduck samples with roselle calyx significantly decreased compared to control (p<0.05), with the exception of the 1% sample. There were no significant differences in springiness among samples. Total phenolic contents significantly increased when roselle calyx powder was added above a level of 1.5% (p<0.05). The flavonoid content of the control was the lowest as 0.73. ABTS radical scavenging activity significantly increased with increasing amounts roselle calyx powder (p<0.05). The 2%-sample got the lowest sensory preference scores in sweetness and overall acceptability. In contrast, the control and 1%-sample got the highest sensory preference scores. Based on these study findings, addition of 1% roselle calyx powder optimized the preparation of Sulgidduck and roselle calyx is therefore a useful natural colorant and antioxidant.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of artificial removal of corolla and calyx lobes from open flowers on fruit development and fruit quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). Removing the corolla had no significant effect on fruit weight, hardness, length, and diameter, Hunter L, a, b values, sugar content and acidity. However, removing the calyx lobes significantly inhibited longitudinal and transverse growth of the fruits, resulting in diminished fruit size. In addition, merchantable fruit quality significantly decreased upon removing the calyx lobes, and this tendency was increased as more calyx lobes were removed. Nonetheless, removal of the calyx lobes had no effects on fruit color, sugar content, or acidity, similar to the effect of corolla removal.
