Recently mulberry has been commercialized but it loses its marketability rapidly after harvest. In this study, characteristics of mulberry were examined at different storage temperature after harvest using the typical Korean mulberry cultivars. Postharvest spoilage fungi on the various mulberry cultivars, Cheongilppong, Daeshim, and Gwasang No. 2 was observed 2, 2, and 1 d, respectively, after harvest at 28℃. However, at 4℃, the day was 8, 7, and 4 d, respectively. At 28℃ storage condition, the weight loss behavior of mulberry did not showed significantly different among them. However, at 4℃ storage condition, mulberry Cheongilppong loses its weight rapidly compared to Daeshim and Gwasang No. 2. Sugar content of mulberry stored at 4℃ was nearly constant, but stored at 28℃ decreased with storage time. The acidity of mulberry slightly decreased with storage time and then increased. Juice leakage of frozen mulberry leaked abruptly within 6 h from the fruit body and then flattened at 25℃. The results of our study, the postharvest characteristics of mulberry were affected by mulberry cultivar and need to further study to increase the shelf life.

This study was carried out to evaluate the sensory evaluation of the muffins with mulberry leaf powder as well as their chemical characteristics. The muffins were prepared by adding 0%, 1 %, 2% and 3% mulberry leaf powder to the recipe. As a result of the sensory evaluations, the color, flavor and texture of the muffins of 2% mulberry leaf powder were found to be much better than those of the other groups. In the chemical composition analysis, increasing the mulberry leaf powder led to a significant increase in the content of crude protein, moisture and crude ash, while crude fat was significantly decreased. As the ratio of mulberry leaf powder increased, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn in the muffins increased proportionally (p<0.05). The lightness value, the redness value and the yellowness value decreased with the increase of mulberry leaves powder content. In a texture analyser test, hardness and cohesiveness decreased as the ratio of mulberry leaf powder increased. The adhesiveness of the muffins with 2% mulberry leaf powder was the strongest of all.

This study was carried out to investigate solid-state fermentation method using cellulolytic lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum TO-2100 in order to increase piperidine alkaloid contents in mulberry leaves. Piperidine alkaloid, one type of which include 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ), is known to inhibit ${\alpha}$-glycosidase activities. Using this strain, the optimal solid-state fermentation conditions on mulberry leaves powder were found as the following: initial moisture content, temperature and relative humidity were 20%, $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ and 60 ~ 70%, respectively, and the fermentation time was 72 hrs. The piperidine alkaloid contents in the fermented mulberry leaves were 2.86% on dry powder, which is 7-fold increase from that of non-fermented mulberry leaves. The 1-deoxynojirimycin contents after applying preparative thin layer chromatography were 2.02% on dry powder, which is 8 times higher than that of non-fermented mulberry leaves. ${\alpha}$-Glycosidase activities was inhibited by 65.7 ~ 84.7% with 3 ~ 5% treatments of hot-water extracts of the fermented mulberry leaves, compared to 16.2 ~ 40.2% with 3 ~ 5% treatments of hot-water extracts of non-fermented mulberry leaves. Therefore, the results suggest that solid-state fermentation method does indeed increase of piperidine alkaloid contents on mulberry leaves.

Mulberry pomace, a by-product obtained from mulberry juice, has not been utilized as food. In this study, antioxidant activities, proximate composition and physiochemical characteristics of mulberry pomace were evaluated and compared with those of mulberry fruit or mulberry concentrate. Mulberry fruit was pressed and filtered. The filtrate and residue were used as mulberry juice and mulberry pomace, respectively. Mulberry juice was evaporated, after which a concentrate ($24.7^{\circ}Brix$) was obtained. Moisture contents of mulberry concentrate, freeze-dried mulberry, and pomace were 68.7%, 6.03%, and 7.32%, respectively. Reducing sugar contents were 45.7% in freeze-dried mulberry, 24.5% in pomace, and 30.9% in mulberry concentrate. The pH and acidity of the three samples ranged from 5.80~5.92 and, 0.035~0.080%, respectively. Carbohydrate and crude ash contents were the highest in mulberry fruit, whereas crude protein, fat, and fiber contents were the highest in pomace. Redness of the Hunter color system was 4.7 in mulberry and 4.3 in pomace. Total phenolic content was the highest in mulberry fruit, whereas total flavonoid content was the highest in pomace. Antioxidant activities (DPPH, hydroxyl, and ABTS radical scavenging activities) were enhanced in the order of mulberry fruit> pomace> mulberry concentrate. Especially, antioxidant activities, such as DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, of mulberry pomace were similar with those of mulberry fruit. Based on these results, freeze-dried mulberry pomace may be considered as a functional as well as an additive material for food processing.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mulberry leaves on lipid metabolism in cho lesterol induced hypercholesterolemia rats. The mulberry treatment group showed decreases of serum lipid concentration compared with hyperlipidemic group. Also, Mulberry leaves inhibited the activity of HMG Co A reductase, increased lipase activity. In histopathological examination, abdominal aorta showed no critical lesions with mulberry leaves treatment. These results suggest that hypolipidemic effects of mulberry leaves on rats were the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and acceleration of cholesterol catabolism in the liver. For human, serum triglyceride contents were more significantly decreased with treatment of mulberry leaves powder.
