Yacon (Smallanthussonchifolius) is a root crop that contains high amounts of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). FOS has a sweet taste, is low in calories, and is known to promote intestinal tract health. In this study, various yacon concentrates were substituted for sugar in white pan bread to obtain healthy benefits from the use of FOS. The quality characteristic changes during storage of the white pan breadswith 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of added yacon concentrates instead of sugar were investigated. During storage, the water contents and water activities of the breads made with high amounts of yacon concentrates changed less than in those made with only sugar. The hardness and chewiness of the breads made with high amounts of yacon concentrates had lower values than those made with only sugar. Thus, bread made with yacon concentrates might exhibit increased moisture retention and decreased aging velocity. The substitution of yacon concentrates for sugar in pan bread improved the bread quality.

The objective of this study was to investigate the proper concentration of D-xylose which is expected to reduce the GI (Glycemic index) value of sucrose in the human body. When subjects took a sucrose mixture containing 5% and 10% D-xylose, the blood glucose levels were lowered by approximately 27.5% and 25.9%, respectively, compared to those of sucrose. The GI values of sucrose mixtures containing 5% and 10% D-xylose were 49.3 and 50.4, respectively. The reduction in GI value was not dependent on the D-xylose concentration, as the GI value of sucrose mixture containing 5% D-xylose (XyloSugar) was similar to that of sucrose mixture containing 10% D-xylose (XyloSugar10). D-xylose is not only more expensive but also less sweet than sucrose. So, low concentration of D-xylose has the advantage in the price and taste. It was determined that the proper concentration of D-xylose expected to reduce GI value of sucrose was 5% (w/w).

This study was conducted to improve the quality of Kongsulgidduk prepared with soyflour and sweeteners. The quality was affected by the type of sweeteners used (sugar, syrup, honey), as well as the amount used (5-20%). Rheological properties showed that when more sugar was added to Kongsulgidduk, the hardness, gumminess and brittleness were lower. In addition, more than 10% sugar led to a significant decrease in hardness, gumminess and brittleness. The addition of honey increased the hardness, but decreased cohesiveness and brittleness of Kongsulgidduk. When color was evaluated, the L-value and a-value decreased, but the b- value increased as sugar was added. The addition of honey resulted in a decreased L-value. Sensory evaluation revealed that the addition of sugar resulted in better overall quality. The color score was highest when 5% sugar was added, while the flavor, moisture and chewiness scores were best when 10% sugar was added. Sweetness and consistency were good when 20% sugar was added. Honey improved the color, flavor and chewiness of Kongsulgidduk; however, sugar produced the best moisture, consistency and overall scores.

나리 구근의 수확시기와 저온저장 기간에 따라 형태 적 특성 및 내부 구성물질의 변화는 구근 품질에 영 향을 준다. 본 연구는 구근 수확시기와 저온저장 기간 이 오리엔탈 나리 ‘Siberia’와 ‘Sorbonne’ 구근의 nose 크기와 당 함량에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. 구근은 충남 태안에서 9월부터 11월까지 1주일 간격으로 수확 하여 형태적 특성(구주, 구경, 구고, 구중, nose 높이, nose 폭)과 총 당 및 유리당 함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 구중에서 ‘Siberia’는 10월 중순까지 증가한 후 감소하였고, ‘Sorbonne’는 11월 초까지 증가한 후 감 소하였다. Nose 크기는 품종에 관계없이 수확시기가 늦어질수록 증가하였다. 총 당과 sucrose 함량은 11월 초까지 증가하였는데 이는 지속적인 광합성 산물의 이 동 및 축적과 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 저온저장 기간과 구근 특성의 관계에 있어서는, 저온저장 기간이 길어질수록 품종에 관계없이 nose가 커졌다. 저온저장 기간 동안 fructose와 glucose는 3월말까지 감소하다가 그 후 증가한 반면, sucrose는 단당류의 증가 시기에 감소하였지만 총 당 함량은 일정 수준을 유지하였다.

Bumblebees are widely used to pollinate various crops, especially tomato, in greenhouses and fields. Here, we investigated whether different sugar solutions have any effects on the oviposition and colony development of Bombus terrestris queens. The types of sugar solution used were a white sugar solution, brown sugar solution, dark brown sugar solution, and prepared sugar solution; all solution contained with a 40% sugar concentration and 0.3% sorbic acid. Among these sugar solutions, B. terrestris queens reared on the white sugar solution exhibited the best results; the rates of oviposition, colony foundation and progeny-queen production were75.0± 11.0, 33.0 ± 9.6 and 21.7 ± 7.3, respectively, which corresponded to 1.1-33.0-fold increases over the results of other sugar solutions. Queens reared on the prepared sugar solution did not found any colonies. The death rate within one month was lowest for the queens reared on the white sugar solution at 26.1 ± 10.9%, which was 1.2–2.0-fold lower than the rate for the other sugar solutions. Furthermore, the numbers of progeny produced by queens reared on the white sugar solution, 131.4 ± 38.8 workers and 51.0 ± 40.6 queens, were also higher, corresponding to 1.1-1.2-fol d increases compared to queens raised on the other sugar solutions. Therefore, the white sugar solution was the favorable sugar solution for the egg-laying and colony developmental characteristics of B. terrestris queens.

This paper analyzes phenolic compounds, carbon isotopes, and sugar components of whiskys based on the maturation period. For this, the paper considers a total of 40 whiskys(mainly imports) distributed in Korea. It is important to analyze the presence phenolic compounds(e.g., furfural, syringaldehyde, vanillin, syringic acid, and vanillic acid) because these are found only in whiskys ripened in oak. The results indicate that the total content of phenolic compounds increased with the increase in the storage period regardless of the type of whisky. In terms of vanillin/syringaldehyde(V/S), Scotch whiskys had 0.4～0.5; American whiskies, 0.30～0.34; and Canadian whiskies, 0.31～0.33. In terms of Scotch whiskys, Macallan had 0.25～0.34, making it unique among Scotch whiskys. In terms of the ratio of carbon isotopes, there were clear differences between malt Scotch whiskys, blended Scotch grain whiskys, American whiskys, and Canadian whiskys: －23.4～－24.3, －16.8～－21.0, －11.0～－11.5 and －9.5～13.9, respectively. In addition, malt Scotch whiskys contained 40～230 ㎎/ℓ of fructose; blended Scotch whiskys, 20～120 ㎎/ℓ; American whiskys, 50～70 ㎎/ℓ; and Canadian whiskys, 20～100 ㎎/ℓ, demonstrating that the fructose content of single-malt whiskys was twice the average fructose content. On the other hand, malt Scotch whiskys contained 30～170 ㎎/ℓ of glucose; blended Scotch whiskys, 20～120 ㎎/ℓ; American whiskys, 20～30 ㎎/ℓ; and Canadian whiskys, 10～110 ㎎/ℓ, demonstrating that the glucose content of single-malt whiskys exceeded the average glucose content. This study’s results can be used as a database of classification for whiskys based on the fermentation of raw ingredients and the period of maturation for distinguishing between different types of whiskys. In addition, the results can facilitate the verification of genuine whiskys by allowing for the identification of different types of whiskys based on the period of maturation.

A method was established for the simultaneous determinatioin of sugar alcohols, erythritol, xylitol,sorbitol, inositol, mannitol, maltitiol, lactitol and isomalt by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The sugar alcohols were converted into strong ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing derivatives with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (PNBC). HPLC was performed on Imtakt Unison US-C18 column, using acetonitrile : water (77:23) as a mobile phase and UV detection (260 nm). The calibration curves for all sugar alcohols tested were linear in the 10~200 mg/L range. The average recoveries of the sugar alcohols from three confectioneries spiked at 100 ppm of eight sugar alcohol standards ranged from 81.2 to 123.1% with relative standard deviations ranging fromo 0.2 to 4.9%. The limits of detection (LODs) were 0.5~8 μg/L and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were 2~17 μg/L. Reproducibility of 8 sugar alcohols was 0.28~1.97 %RSD. The results of the analysis of confectioneries showed that 89 samples of 130 were detected and the sugar alcohols content of samples investigated varied between 0.4 and 693.7 g/kg. A method for the simultaneous determination of eight sugar alcohols will be used as basic data for control of sugar alcohols in confectioneries, and qualilty control in food manufacturing.

Freeze-dried Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at 185oC for 14 min in a convection oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 30 min and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. Lightness (L*) decreased significantly as the E. cava powder content increased (p<0.05) and a decreasing trend in both redness (a*-value) and yellowness (b*-value) was observed. On the other hand, firmness increased significantly with an increase in E. cava powder content (p<0.05). Increases in E. cava powder concentration up to 6% in the cookie formulation significantly increased the intensities of all sensory attributes such as color, flavor, taste, and firmness (p<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the E. cava concentration correlated significantly with most of the properties except for a*-value (p<0.01, 0.05, or 0.001). Properties such as firmness and sensory color and firmness correlated positively while L*- and b*-values correlated negatively with E. cava concentration. Sensory color correlated negatively with L*- and b*-values. Sensory firmness correlated positively with mechanically measured firmness.

본 연구는 저장 기간 중 양파 구의 pyruvic acid와 당 함량의 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 저장 중의 pyruvic acid 함량은 저장 3개월까지는 큰 변화가 없었으나 저장 120일경부터 발근이 시작되면서 서서히 증가하기 시작하여 맹아기 이후 급격히 증가하였다. 그와 대조적으로 건물함량은 저장 기간 동안 큰 변화가 없었다. Sucrose 함량은 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하다가 맹아가 진행됨에 따라 감소하였다. Fructose 함량은 저장 45일째 이후로 서서히 감소하여 맹아기 이후에는 큰 변화가 없었다. Glucose 함량은 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하는 경향이었다. 저장기간 중 총당(TS) 함량에 대한 pyruvic acid(PA) 함량 비율(PA/TS ratio)은 수확시에 비해 저장 한 달 이후부터 감소하였으며, 이 후 내부맹아가 관찰되는 135일째부터 급격하게 증가하여 저장 150일에는 수확시에 비해 83% 정도 증가하였다. 저장기간 중 감미도는 저장 한 달 까지는 서서히 감소하였으나 그 이후 증가하였고, 저장기간 중 큰 변화가 없었다. 따라서 단 양파 선발은 휴면이 타파되기 전에 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of sugar alcohols as alternative sweeteners for replacing sucrose in sponge cake. The sponge cakes were prepared with only sucrose or a 50% replacement of sucrose with various sugar alcohols (erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol). The specific gravity of cake batter containing only sucrose was significantly higher and the viscosity was significantly lower than those containing sugar alcohol (p<0.001). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose. The thermal characteristics, as assessed by differential scanning calorimetry, showed that sucrose delayed gelatinization of cake batter more than sugar alcohol, as the onset temperature and the peak temperature of cake batter containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohol. The moisture content of cake containing sorbitol was the highest and that containing only sucrose was the lowest among cakes. The specific volume of cakes containing only sucrose and xylitol were higher and the baking loss rate of those were lower than other sugar alcohols. The volume and symmetry index of cake containing only sucrose were the highest among cakes (p<0.001), and xylitol was similar to sucrose for the above indices. The redness (a) and yellowness (b) values of crust containing only sucrose were significantly higher than those containing sugar alcohols (p<0.001). The a and b values of crumb containing erythritol were the lowest among cakes, showing a pale yellowish color. The microstructure, as assessed by scanning electron microscopy, showed that the cake containing only sucrose had more uniformly and finely distributed pores and a smoother cross section than that containing sugar alcohols. Cake containing xylitol was similar to cake containing only sucrose. Hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of cake containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohols, whereas the adhesiveness of cakes containing sugar alcohols were higher than those containing only sucrose (p<0.01). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose in textural properties. In a sensory quality test, the tenderness and moistness of cakes containing sorbitol and erythritol were higher than those containing only sucrose and xylitol. The overall acceptance of cakes containing xylitol and only sucrose were higher than those containing sorbitol and erythritol (p<0.001). Thus, xylitol is more appropriate as a 50% replacement for sucrose than erythritol and sorbitol when preparing sponge cake.

Common reed (Fragmites australis), a local invasive grass, was investigated as a possible feedstock for the production of activated carbon. Dried crushed stems were subjected to impregnation with phosphoric acid (30, 40 and 50%) followed by pyrolysis at 400~500℃ with final washing and drying. Obtained carbons were characterized by determining: carbon yield, ash content, slurry pH, textural properties and capacity to remove color bodies from factory-grade sugar liquor. Produced carbons possessed surface area up to 700 m2/g, total pore volumes up to 0.37 cm3/g, and proved to be microporous in nature. Decolorization of hot sugar liquor at 80℃ showed degrees of color removal of 60 up to 77% from initial color of 1100~1300 ICU, at a carbon dose of 1.0 g/100 ml liquor. No correlation seems to hold between synthesis conditions and % R but depends on the degree of microporosity. A commercial activated carbon N showed a comparative better color removal capacity of 91%. Common reed proved to be a viable carbon precursor for production of good adsorbing carbon suitable for decolorization in the sugar industry, as well as in other environmental remediation processes.

삼백초 분말의 첨가량을 0-6%로 달리하여 쿠키를 제조한 후 물리화학적 품질 및 관능적 품질특성을 측정하고 각 특성사이의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 삼백초 분말 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 쿠키의 두께 및 밀도는 유의적으로 증가하였으나(p<0.05), 반죽의 구께 및 밀도에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 반죽과 쿠키의 pH는 삼백초 분말 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 현저하게 감소하였으며, 색 특성 중 명도와 황색도 역시 현저하게 감소한 반면 적색도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 관능검사 결과, 경도를 제외한 맛, 향미, 색 등의 강도는 분말의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 6% 첨가군이 가장 높게 평가되었다(p<0.05). 한편 상관분석결과 삼백초 분말 첨가 수준은 대부분의 물리화학적 및 관능적 품질특성과 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내어, 삼백초 분말 첨가가 반죽 및 쿠키의 전반적인 품질특성에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 냉동요구르트 제조 시 trehalose와 sorbitol 첨가가 유산균의 동결변성방지 및 향기성분의 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 요구르트를 L. bulgaricus와 S. thermophilus 단독균주 및 혼합균주로 발효시켰을 때 처리구 모두 trehalose와 sorbitol 첨가에 의한 발효과정 중 유산균의 증식효과는 나타나지 않았다. 요구르트를 6주간 냉동저장하는 동안 trehalose와 sorbitol 첨가에 의한 모든 처리구에서 유산균수의 차이가 없었으며, MRS 액상배지에 trehalose와 sorbitol을 각각 2%, 5% 첨가하여 6주간 냉동저장하였을 때는 5% trehalose 처리구의 동결변성방지 효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 냉동저장 기간 동안 고형분 함량이 12%인 처리구와 20%인 처리구의 생균수는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않아 고형분 함량 차이에 의한 trehalose와 sorbitol 효과에는 차이가 없는 결과를 나타내었다. 요구르트의 동결과 해동을 반복하였을 경우 trehalose와 sorbitol 모두 2% 첨가구보다 5% 첨가구가 우수한 동결변성방지 효과를 나타내었다. 전반적으로 Trehalose 첨가구가 sorbitol 첨가구보다 2%, 5% 모두 동결변성방지 효과가 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. Trehalose와 sorbitol을 첨가하여 요구르트를 제조하였을 때 향미성분의 함량은 대조구와 유사하였으며 일반적인 요구르트의 향미를 나타내었다. 냉동저장 중 요구르트 향미성분은 손실되거나, 함량비율의 변화가 발생하지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 요구르트의 풍미에는 영향을 미치지 않으면서 냉동저장에 의한 유산균의 동결변성방지제로서의 trehalose첨가가 냉동요구르트의 유산균 안정화에 효과가 있다고 하겠다.
