This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of Ginseng Jung Kwa prepared with different soaking times in sugar syrup. As soaking time in sugar syrup increased, the moisture content of Ginseng Jung Kwa decreased and the sugar concentration increased. In addition, L values of Ginseng Jung Kwa decreased significantly. A and b values were the highest at S2 and S1, respectively, and gradually decreased. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness of Ginseng Jung Kwa increased as soaking time in sugar syrup increased, but springiness and cohesiveness were not significantly different. The results of sensory evaluations showed that overall preference scored the highest for Ginseng Jung Kwa soaked in sugar syrup for 2 days.

In this study, we investigated the effects of pre-soaking in salt and sugar solution prior to air drying at $50^{\circ}C$ on the characteristics of dried apples. Pre-soaking solutions included single solutions of salt 2% and sugar 2%; and combined solutions of salt 2%+sugar 2% and salt 2%+sugar 5%, respectively. The effects of pre-soaking condition and drying were evaluated in terms of moisture content (MC), water activity, color, antioxidant activity determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity, shear force, microbial contents, and sensory evaluation of apple slices. The control sample without pre-soaking showed the most rapid drying rate; in addition, the single solutions showed higher MC and water activity after drying time of 120 min, as compared to combined solutions. In all samples, MC and water activity showed high correlation coefficients of 0.91 to 0.97; whereas, shear force was negatively correlated with MC and water activity. The single solution of salt 2% showed decrease in change of color, including L, a, and b values, and the number of aerobic bacteria during drying. In addition, highest antioxidant activity and values of sensory preferences were observed in the dried apple pre-soaked in single solution of salt 2%.

This study was investigated to find effects of soaking-water salt concentration and submaterial on Kimchi taste and fermentation period. several parameters such as pH, acidity, reducing sugar, amino acid and sensory evaluation during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ were experimented. The results are as follows : As fermentation period increases, pH and content of reducing sugar of Kimchi have decreased. But acidity has increased. Especially, the pH of all samples rapidly decreased to a extent of pH 4.2. During fermentation the acidity and content of reducing sugar in 12% soaking-water were higher than those in 16% and 20%. Content of reducing sugar I Kimchi was observed to play an important role for the overall taste. As a result of sensory evaluation during fermentation, Kimchi in 16%, 2.6% and in 20%, 3.7%. Sensory evaluation revealed that leek-added Kimchi was highly evaluated in crispness, sour taste, flavor and overall acceptability. These results suggested that Kimchi fermented for 4days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ with 16% salt concentration of soaking water and leek as submaterials should taste most desirable.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of soaking time (6, 12 and 24 hr) and steeping temperature (25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$) on germination time, germination percentage and weight loss of wheat and barley. Changes in chemical composition (such as protein, fat, and ash), reducing sugar content, enzyme activity and pasting profile and GABA ($\gamma$-animobutyric acid) content of germinated wheat and barley were also evaluated. The results clearly suggest that the short soaking time and lower steeping temperature significantly decreased germination time and weight loss, while germination percentage increased. Regarding the chemical composition, the protein content of wheat and barley was slightly increased after germination but there was no significant difference in content of crude fat and ash of both germinated cereals. The reducing sugar content of both germinated cereals decreased as the steeping temperature increased from $25^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. Increasing soaking time and steeping temperature led to increased amylase activity, and also corresponded to reduced paste viscosity. The highest GABA content that occurred with soaking times of 6 and 12 hr and a steeping temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ was 1,467.74 and 1,474.70 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated wheat and 2,108.13 and 1,691.85 ${\mu}g/g$ for germinated barley. This study indicated that the optimum germination process for wheat and barley is a low steeping temperature and a short soaking time.

Kongjaban (a Korean-style seasoned black soybean) prepared under various conditions such as different soaking temperatures and time, cooking rate, and amounts of sugar and soy sauce was investigated with respect to its physical and sensory qualities. Soaking soybeans in water at $20^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ prior to heating decreased the hardness, degree of browning and saltiness of kongjaban, regardless of soaking temperature. As the cooking time after addition of sugar and soy sauce increased, the degree of browning, saltiness and hardness of kongjaban increased markedly. The amount of sugar and soy sauce did not make a distinct difference in its physical properties whereas its hardness increased slightly with increasing sugar amount. According to the sensory evaluation, the color, hardness and saltiness of kongjaban significantly increased with increasing cooking time. Color, hardness and sweetness increased as the amount of sugar increased whereas the amount of soy sauce did not affect the sensory characteristics except for saltiness.

In order to develop color of potato chip made from Superior variety and Irish Cobbler variety, various conditions on NaCl and $CaCl_2$ contents, heat treatment and soaking time were applied. The content of reducing sugar decreased by $30{\sim}40%$ in blanching without NaCl and $CaCl_2$. In NaCl soaking case, reducing sugar content decreased by $15{\sim}30%$, however, partial colorization was appeared that the sample turned to brown. In the sample that were soaking in NaCl solution and heat treated, reduction of reducing sugar was 40% and desirable time for heat treatment was 5 min and 7 min. In the sample treated $CaCl_2$ solution, reduction of reducing sugar was $25{\sim}30%$ and then color was not acceptable. In the sample soaking $CaCl_2$ solution and heat treated, reducing sugar content rapidly by 50% and the color development was the most ideal.

Physico-chemical characteristics of glutinuous rice during soaking treatment at different temperature for Yu-Kwa (Korean traditional glutinous rice cake) processing were determined. Crude fat and protein contents of soaked glutinous rice decreased up to 30% to 50%, respectively, compared to raw rice, but there was a little difference in soaking periods. As the soaking period increased pH of soaking solution was decreased from 6.4 to 3.3, while Brix was increased from 0.5 to 13.6. Titration acidity of soaking solution and soaked rice were increased to 22.9 and 3.4, respectively, as the soaking period increased to 9 days at $20^{\circ}C$ soaking, but it was increased rapidly to 29.8 and 4.0, respectively, at $30^{\circ}C$. The three kinds of free sugar such as glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected. Glucose was the major produced free sugar during soaking, sucrose was not detected after 1 day soaking period. Characteristics of amylographic viscosity on soaked rice showed that there are no difference in pasting temperature by the soaking time and temperature, but the maximum viscosity was drastically increased on $1{\sim}2\;day$ soaking period and decreased rapidly after $2{\sim}3\;day$.

The antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of soybean sprout sugar solutions (oligosaccharide and sucrose, $50^{\circ}Bx$) were characterized under different soaking conditions. The ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 25%, 50%, and 75% (w/w), and the soaking times studied were 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity was detected in case of the oligosaccharide solution, compared to the sucrose solution. A similar tendency was observed for alcohol-degrading enzyme activity. When the ratio of sugar solution to sprout content was 50% (w/w), the total phenol and flavonoid contents were found to be higher, compared to those observed at 20% (w/w). However, we did not observe a significant difference between 50% and 75% (w/w). Soaking time did not significantly affect the antioxidant and alcohol-degrading enzyme activities of the solutions. As a result, when oligosaccharide solution was used for soaking soy sprouts at a ratio of >50% (w/w), higher antioxidant and alcoholdegrading enzyme activities were observed.

Among many honeys, the buckwheat honey was the best one using for Yackwa(a Korean cookie). We made a substitute, similary syrups of buckwheat honey, and then we got the following conclusions through the case of the similar syrups. 1. The best syrups are A, B and C syrup. A syrup's composition rate was sugar (40%), corn-syrup (20%) and water (40%) before boiling for 10 minutes. B syrup's composition rate was water (40%), glucose (20%), corn-syrup (20%) and sugar (20%) before boiling for 15 minutes. C syrup's composition rate like B syrup's but boiled for 10 minutes. 2. The best syrups used for dough are A and B syrup. C syrup was good for soaking. When A syrup used for dough, we have to immediate soaking in A syrup after frying or soaking in C syrup an hour later after frying. When B syrup used for dough, we must soaking in C syrup an hour later after frying. 3. The rate of fat in the composition of buckwheat honey's, A syrup's and B syrup's Yackwa was 27.22%, 23.05%, 23.05% and 30.35%.
