In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of mulberry salad dressing prepared with yam juice during storage at 5℃ for four weeks were evaluated. The salad dressing was prepared with a salad base, mulberry, omija, and yam (4:4:6:1 or 4:4:6:3). Fresh yam juice was added to the salad dressing at 0, 7, and 18% levels. After four weeks storage, the pH increased whereas the acidity decreased. As the yam concentration increased, the pH increased to 3.84 and the acidity decreased to 0.14%. The Hunter color L (lightness), b (yellowness), and a (redness) values decreased over the storage period. After four weeks storage, the viscosity increased from 83.2 to 158.5 cp according to the amount of yam juice that was added. The antioxidant activity, such as the DPPH radical scavenging activity, and the total polyphenol content of the salad dressing improved as the yam concentration increased. Moreover, according to the storage time, the peroxide value did not increase. These results show that the mulberry salad dressing to which omija and fresh yam juice were added maintained its freshness with high antioxidative activity during storage.

마즙의 위생성 및 보존성 향상을 목적으로 0, 1, 3 및 5 kGy의 선량으로 감마선을 조사하고 에서 보관하면서 8일간 마즙의 미생물학적, 일반품질 및 관능평가를 실시하였다. 마즙의 호기성세균 및 대장균군은 각각 1.26 및 1.34 kGy의 값을 보였으며, 저장에 따라 3 및 5 kGy 조사구의 경우 검출한계 이하의 균수를 유지하였다. 효모 및 곰팡이의 D10값은 0.29 kGy로 일반호기성균 및 대장균군 보다 감마선에 높은 감수성을 보였으
