This study was carried out to determine the descriptive sensory profile of oriental melon. The sensory profile of oriental melons (cultivated in Seonju, Kyungsangbuk-do) were used quantitative descriptive analyses and twelve trained panel developed the total forty sensory attributes related appearance, aroma, texture etc. Six appearances attributes and two aromas attributes were derived from whole oriental melon with skin. Five aromas, six tastes and six textures were derived from the mesocarp of oriental melon. And also, oriental melons were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity, solid soluble contents and weight. The weight, titratable acidity and soluble solid content of oriental melons showed significant differences according to samples. And also, in the sensory attributes of these samples by trained panel and consumer test, there were significant differences between organic cultivated samples and conventional cultivated samples. Based on principal component analysis of sensory attributes data by trained panel and consumer, oriental melons were primary separated along the first principal component, which accounted for 27.73% (trained panel test) and 19.82% (consumer test) of total variance (trained panel test; 58.36%, consumer test; 46.18%) between the samples farm, cultivation method, total acidity, sweet aroma, bitterness, etc. Generally, whole oriental melon with skin showed significant differences in the sensory attributes according to cultivation method and farms. But, the mesocarp and endocarp part showed not certainly differences in the sensory attributes between organic cultivated samples except conventional cultivated samples.

본 논문의 목적은 당뇨병 및 신경병증의 병력이 없는 17명의 일반 성인을 대상으로 한 정량적 감각검사(QST)와 광용적맥파(PPG)와의 비교를 통해 정량적 감각검사의 임상적 유용성을 파악하는 것이며, 광용적맥파 검사를 이용한 혈당수치에 따른 자율신경계의 부교감신경의 변화를 살펴보는 것이다. 일반인을 대상으로 혈당검사와 광용적맥파 검사를 실시하여 상관관계를 분석한 결과 혈당수치에 따라 자율신경계 부교감신경이 느려지는 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 정량적 감각 검사가 주관적 평가에 의한 검사이기는 하나 검사의 민감도를 신뢰할 수 있다고 보이며 따라서 말초 신경의 평가도구로서 정량적 감각검사가 당뇨병성 신경병증 등의 진단의 민감도를 높이는데 폭넓게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 광용적맥파 검사가 심박변화율에 의한 자율신경계를 평가하는 후속연구에 기초자료연구로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
