This study was carried out determination of characteristics of leaf and fruit of 13 astringent persimmon (Diospyros kaki) cultivars cultivated in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. In leaf size, Deabonggam was smaller than that of other astringent persimmon cultivars, however, Dansungsi and Bansi were largest compared to other persimmon cultivars. Fruit width size of Sancheong Deabonggam and Bansi were the biggest. And fruit width size was the biggest in Sancheong Deabonggam. When same cultivars as Dansungsi and Godongsi were cultivated at other regions, it was not somewhat different in fruit weight. The size of fruits of the cultivar varied depending on the maturation of the fruits. In immature fruit, Curigam and Susi cultivars were the biggest and these cultivars were also were the biggest in mature-green fruit. In full ripe fruit, Hamyang Daebonggam and Hadong Daebonggam and Daeheakmu were bigger than that of other cultivars. When the astringent persimmon varieties collected in July were divided into three clusters, group A had a higher leaf area and the lightest fruit weight than the other clusters. In cluster C, the leaf area was small, but the fruit weight was classified as heavier than the other clusters. This study is expected to be widely used for breeding, conservation and processing of sweet persimmons.

Circular leaf spot(CLS) disease causes considerable economic damage to persimmon(Diospyros kaki) in South Korea. Mycosphaerella nawae ascospores are the primary inoculum for CLS epidemics. In this study, we investigated the seasonal fluctuation of spore release and its relationship to environmental factors, based on spore trapping. We evaluated the seasonal pattern of released M. nawae ascospores in South Korea. During three persimmon growing seasons(2010 to 2012), we recorded the release of ascospores in two regions, Jinju and Gimhae, which are major producing regions of sweet persimmon in South Korea. The release of CLS ascospores was from the first week of May to the end of July. The maximum release of spores was observed in late June. A computer model used accumulated degree days to simulate ascospore release. The overall mean accumulated degree days, from 01 May to 50% ascospore release for the observed data(1174℃ days), was not significantly different from the predicted value of 1144℃ days. The mean differences between predicted and observed release percentages for the sampling periods were not significantly different from zero.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant properties of cookies supplemented with 1-4% (w/w) persimmon leaf powder (PLP). pH and density of cookie dough increased significantly but moisture content decreased significantly with increasing levels of PLP (p<0.05). The spread ratio and loss rate of cookies decreased significantly with increasing levels of PLP (p<0.05). Lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) decreased significantly with higher amount of PLP (p<0.05). The use of PLP significantly increased the hardness of cookies while 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly elevated (p<0.05). The consumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of PLP up to 2% had a favorable effect on the consumer preferences in most attributes. Based on the overall observations, cookies with 2% PLP can take advantage of the functional properties of PLP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

경남 창원과 진주의 농약 무살포 및 유기농 단감원에서 단감 잎을 가해하는 해충을 조사한 결과 국내에서 단감 해충으로 기록되지 않은 3종 을 채집 동정하였다. 동정된 종은 가을뒷노랑밤나방, 푸른빛집명나방, 감잎가는나방(신칭)이었다. 이들의 채집기록, 형태, 기주와 간단한 생태를 조사하여 보고한다.

2012년 경남 창원의 농약 무살포 단감원에서 단감 잎을 가해하는 해충을 조사한 결과 국내에서 단감 해충으로 기록되지 않은 3종을 채집 동정하였다. 동정된 종은 몸노랑들명나방, 우묵날개원뿔나방, 사과잎말이나방이었다. 이들의 채집기록, 형태, 기주와 간단한 생태를 조사하여 보고한다.

본 연구는 국내에 널리 분포되어 있는 감잎을 냉풍건조시켜 분말화하여 첨가한 냉면의 반죽과 숙면의 품질특성을 분석하였다. 수분결합능력은 무첨가구와 감잎 분말첨가구간의 차이는 없었으며, 아밀로그래프 상에서 호화개시온도와 최고점도 도달시간은 감잎분말 첨가량이 늘어날수록 증가하였고, 최고점도와 최종점도는 첨가량이 늘어날수록 감소하였다. 면의 조리적성에서 조리 후의 무게는 무첨가구가 가장 낮았으며 감잎분말 첨가량이 늘어날수록 증가하였고, 감잎분말 첨가량에

Comparing and analysing the productivity and the main ingredients of persimmon leaves by cultivars were conducted to improve the quality and productivity of the per-simmon leaf tea. As a result of the survey, Dungsi was decidedly good in growth co-ndition of survival rate, stem diameter and the number of shoots etc. Also , DUngsi had the highest leaf productivity of 567 leaves and the leaf weight of 1.98 kg per one plant after three years of planting . On accounts of productivity, ingredient analysis and panel test etc. we collectively through that Dungsi was the best cutltivar for the persimmon leaf tea.

Changes in antioxidative substance levels in eleven different cultivars of persimmon leaves during growth were investigated. In general, the contents of soluble phenols, L-ascorbic acid and flavonoids in astringent persimmon leaves(APL) were higher than those of nonastringent persimmon leaves(NAPL). The soluble phenol contents in APL and NAPL showed a tendency to decrease throughout leaf growth. L-ascorbic acid content in APL decreased rapidly during growth, whereas its content in NAPL reached its highest value at the late of July, and then decreased rapidly. Major flavonoids in APL and NAPL were quercetin and Kaempferol which were present in conjugate forms. Before acid hydrolysis, the contents of kaempferol and quercetin in APL and NAPL remained at a relatively constant level until the late of July, and then decreased slightly. After acid hydrolysis, kaempferol contents in APL and NAPL varied significantly by cultivar and growth stage, while quercetin contents decreased slowly until the late of July, and then increased drastically, reached a maximum at the early of August, afterward continuously decreased. These results suggest that APL harvested at the early of June may be useful as potential sources of natural antioxidants.
