Washed rice was coated by spraying aqueous dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) extracts at 20, 30, 40 $^{\circ}$Brix and dried at room temperature. The coating procedure was conducted 5 mL/min for 10min. Property changes in the dandelion coated rice and un-coated cooked rice were observed during 2 days of storage. Increasing the coating concentration was associated with lower color values (L, a value) and moisture contents. Sensory and texture properties generally decreased in the cooked rice coated with dandelion more than the control (non-coated rice). But, D-20(20 $^{\circ}$Brix of the dandelion concentration) resulted in better textural properties and sensory scores for hardness and overall acceptability in cooked rice. Compared to the control, the washed rice coated with 20 $^{\circ}$Brix for 0 and 2 days showed better quality in sensory activities, a lower gel consistency and better textural activities. It was concluded that the optimum coating ration of rice and added dandelion extract for cooking were 20 $^{\circ}$Brix and $5\%$ respectively, in proportion to the total weight of raw rice.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics and the sensory evaluation for madeleine added with peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) juice. The pH and specific volume of madeleine were decreased with increase of peach juice, whereas the moisture and loss rate were increased. In the color of madeleine crust, L and b value were decreased with increase of peach juice, and these results showed significant differences compared to control(p<0.05). The other hand, the colors of madeleine crumb showed less significant changes compared to the control. On texture of madeleine with increase of peach juice, the hardness, chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness were increased, whereas the adhesiveness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation with taste, color, flavor and overall preference, the madeleine with 20%(w/w) peach juice showed the highest value. Consequently, these results should provide the possibile use of peach processing in bakery industry because the addition of peach juice enhanced the quality and sensory characteristics of madeleine.

This study was conducted to investigate the amounts of capsaicinoid and free sugar, as well as ASTA color values in three pepper cultivars grown in different regions of Korea. Pepper cultivars from ten different regions of Korea were collected in 2011 and 2012. The capsaicinoid contents of the three cultivars, Urigun, Bugang, and Muhanjilju, varied in the range of 52.53~362, 15.35~126.40, and 3.41~50.86 mg/100 g, respectively, depending on their cultivation region. Among the three cultivars, Urigun had the highest average capsaicinoid content, followed by Bugang and Muhanjilju. The free sugar contents of Urigun, Bugang, and Muhanjilju varied in the range of 18.29~35.54, 16.91~32.83, and 18.63~33.21%, respectively, depending on the region. Average free sugar contents did not vary significantly among the cultivars grown in different regions as well as in different years. The ASTA color values of Urigun, Bugang, and Muhanjilju varied in the range of 57.17~132.61, 66.23~139.49, and 85.43~133.26, respectively. ASTA color values of the three cultivars grown in 2012 were significantly higher than those grown in 2011. Variations in the amounts of capsaicinoids, free sugar contents, and ASTA color values observed in this study can be attributed to the intrinsic genetic characteristics of each cultivar or alternatively to the environmental conditions. We assume that the quantity of capsaicinoid is affected more by the genotype than the cultivation region, whereas the reverse holds for the variations in free sugar quantity and ASTA color values.

This study examines the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of fermented Codonopsis lanceolata tea according to the heating temperature and time. The browning, turbidity, reducing sugar, total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents all increased with increasing of heating temperature and time, but the pH decreased within the range of error. In particular, the total polyphenol contents of the heat treatment sample for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ are increased to about 4.5 times of 713.71mg/100ml as compared to the control group. From the results of the antioxidant activity test, as both the heating temperature and time increases, the antioxidant activity was increased for DPPH radical-scavenging activity, FRAP and reducing its power. In the case of the samples treated with heat for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ in the DPPH radical scavenging ability, it increased about twice more than the 45.17% control plot at 85.40%, and the reducing power and FRAP were increased to approximately two or three times more than the control group. According to the results for sensory test of fermented C. lanceolata tea according to heating temperature and time, the preference was confirmed as high by heat treatment due to increased temperature and time. Heat treatment process of C. lanceolata during the process is determined by the conditions required for high value-added products through the improvements of the taste and functionality of C. lanceolata.

The present study was performed to expand the application of mechanically impacting technology reported in our previous studies. Several parameters were analyzed to research Korean indigenous pigmented rice. The proximate composition of Korean indigenous rice was the following; 12.0-13.4% moisture, 74.1-77.3% carbohydrate, 6.8-8.7% crude protein, 1.68-3.25% crude lipid, 0.78-1.38% crude ash, with a 6.6-7.07 pH value. The phenolic compound content of red rice was twice that of black rice. Moreover, antioxidative activity was estimated by DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.15-1.04 mg/mL). Anthocyanin and chlorophyll in each pigmented rice type were detected by spectrophotometer. Garaedduk samples were prepared with non-waxy rice, salt, 24% water, and/or 15% indigenous pigmented rice(red, green and black, w/w of total swelling non-waxy rice) and adapted with or without mechanically impacting technology. Hardness, as a main texture profile parameter of Garaedduk was maintained up to 3 days under storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that Korean indigenous pigmented rice can be applied for functional Garaedduk adapted with mechanically impacting technology.

Organic duck's carcass weight was lower than general duck's because of the differences in breed and feeding method, but there was no difference in carcass percent among them. The rate of organic duck's fresh breast meat(17.62%) was significantly higher than that of general duck's(11.95%)(p<0.05). The rate of fresh leg meat rate was lower in organic duck, but there was no significant difference among them(p>0.05). The pH of breast and leg measured immediately after butchering were 6.48 and 6.73 in organic duck, respectively and there was significant difference among them(p<0.05). According to the sensory test, the texture, odor, tenderness, and taste showed better preference in organic duck than those of broiler chicken. According to above physicochemical analysis and sensory test, organic duck showed higher pH, higher shear force, and lower cooking loss. Therefore, it is considered to be very valuable to develop the exploitation of meat product in organic duck which had good quality and tastiness.

To develop health functional gluten-free rice madeleines added with pine needle, rice flours were prepared by adding different contents (0.6, 1.2, and 1.8% on rice flour basis) of freeze-dried pine needle powder (PP) and extract (PE, by pressing pine needles). The preparation, textural and sensory properties, and antioxidative activities of rice madeleines were investigated. The antioxidative activities of rice madeleines added with PP and PE were higher than those of the control and were significantly different from each other. The specific volume of rice madeleines added with PE was higher than that added with PP. Lightness and yellowness decreased with increasing PP or PE content, whereas redness showed the reverse trend. Textural properties were also significantly different according to pine needle type and content. Hardness values of rice madeleines added with 1.2 and 1.8% PP or 1.2% PE were reduced compared to that of control. Hardness values increased while other textural properties decreased during storage. In the sensory test, color, flavor, and taste scores increased with increasing PP or PE contents, whereas flavor and overall quality scores were highest in rice madeleine added with 1.2% PP. Based on these results, pine needle powder addition improved antioxidative activities and overall quality.

Physicochemical characteristics of the red peppers dried in hot-air by various processing to shorten drying time were investigated during storage at -2$0^{\circ}C$ for 120 days. The pH of red pepper powders gradually decreased in proportion to storage day, but there were no significant differences between samples during storage. The pH of red pepper powder treated with 0.1% vitamin C was the lowest as 4.64 at 120 storage days. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin contents gradually decreased during storage, but the red pepper powder treated with 0.1% vitamin C was higher than others after 120 storage days. As a result of color evaluation, L values of red pepper powder dried after only mashing and dried after aging next to mashing were higher than the control, whereas a and b values of red pepper powder dried after mashing were higher at 120 storage days, compared with the control. Results of color and taste acceptability showed color value of red pepper powder dried after mashing was 93.0% higher than 43.0% of the control, and in taste acceptability the control was 48.0%, whereas its dried after treatment of 0.1% vitamin C was the highest value as 92.0%.
