In this study, the quality characteristics of purple corn cob extract (PCCE) by extraction time were examined. The cob of purple corn, which is mainly cultivated in the Andes region of South America, contains more anthocyanin than the corresponding purple corn seeds. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal conditions for the preparation of water extracts from purple corn cob. PCCE had a soluble solid content of $0.6^{\circ}Brix$. The Hunter lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$), yellowness ($b^*$) values of the PCCE were 31.0, 38.4, and 9.0, respectively. The PCCE contained 24.64 mg/g of cyanidin, 0.35 mg/g of pelargonidin, and 17.42 mg/g peonidin, and showed greater antioxidant activity than the other extracts. Therefore, the optimal extracting conditions for preparing PCCE were a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and an extraction time of 24 h.

This study investigated the effect of bamboo leaf powder, added at content of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%, on the quality and sensory characteristics of rice cake imprinted with flower pattern (Ed-there is no respecitive comparison here) The chemical composition as a whole was 3.07${\pm}$0.12% of moisture, 5.87${\pm}$0.02% of crude protein, 2.52${\pm}$0.05% of crude fat, 23.70${\pm}$0.07% of crude fiber and 7.73${\pm}$0.02% of crude ash. With increasing amount of added bamboo leaf powder, the hardness and chewiness of the cake were significantly increased(p<0.05), while the cohesiveness, springiness and adhesiveness were decreased. In chromaticity, the L-value, the indicator of brightness, was significantly decreased with increasing bamboo leaf powder content. The a-value, the indicator of redness, was significantly lower than the chlorophyll color (p<0.05). The b-value, the indicator of yellowness, was increased indirect proportion to the content. In sensory test, the sensory characteristics such as color, flavor, taste and chewiness were all stronger with increasing powder content, whereas the softness and dampness were weaker. The greatest overall satisfaction was achieved by the sample group of cake with 6% preference added powder.

This study analyses and compares the amino acid composition and available lysine content between Korean fermented soybean Meju and its products as well as home-made and commercially made products. The protein quality of the products was evaluated by the result, and the biological value of the proteins was estimated by using the regression equation for chemical score to biological value as calculated by B.O. Eggum. The amino-N content of soybean is found to be 85% of the total nitrogen content and is reduced to approximately 75% in the fermented products except home-made soysauce, where as the content of ammonia-N and other N-compounds is increased. The difference in protein quality between home-made and commercially made products is not found to be significant. The protein quality of soybean is not damaged greatly in the making of Meju but is seriously damaged during the long periods of ripening. After the ripening the chemical score of the products' protein is reduced to approximately one half of the original soybean protein and the available lysine content to $1/3{\sim}1/2$.

In this study, the quality effect of soaking in alum water, soaking in electrolyzed oxidizing water, and freezing during storage, on peeled chestnuts, were analyzed. When soaked in 0.1% (w/v) alum water, peeled chestnuts showed good characteristics in terms of weight loss, decomposition, and color preservation. However, texture and taste qualities rapidly decreased with increases in storage time. When soaked in twice their own weight of electrolyzed oxidizing water(pH 2.61, ORP 1,142 mV) for 10 min, the samples were preserved in an optimally edible condition. When frozen at $-10^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, the samples were suitable for use as material for processed chestnut produce, as was also the case when pretreatment with electrolyzed oxidizing water was employed.

We examined the chemical properties of leek and dropwort and prepared the noodles with the dried powder of them, to develope functional processing floods which contain biological active compounds. The groups were divided by the drying methods as follows: hot air drying at 50$\^{C}$ (A), hot air drying after blanching for 30 sec (B), hot air drying after steaming for 2 min (C) and freeze drying (D). We had analyzed the content of vitamin C, total chlorophyll, and phenolic compounds and measured the hunter color values of dried powders individually. The contents of evaluated compounds were higher in A and D than in B and C groups and also the electron donating activity of A and D was stronger than B and C. The cooking properties of noodles prepared with leek and dropwort powder were examined. After cooking, the weight and volume of noodles prepared with powder were lower than those of control The turbidity of noodle soup were increased as the adding ratio was increased. The cutting strength of cooked leek noodles with A and B powder was similar to that of control, in case of dropwort, cooked noodles with D showed similar to that of control. The cutting strength of cooked noodles were decreased as the adding ratio were increased. The electron donating activity of noodles with vegetable powders showed high than that of control The sensory evaluation showed that significant difference between noodles with 2.5 ?/e addition groups and control was not recognized but was recognized between noodles with 5% addition groups and the control.

There is a great need to develop a training program proven to change behavior and improve knowledge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate employee hygiene knowledge, hygiene practice, and cleanliness, before and after HACCP system implementation at one small-size restaurant. The efficiency of the system was analyzed using time-temperature control after implementation of u-HACCP$^{(R)}$. The employee hygiene knowledge and practices showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) after HACCP system implementation. In non-heating processes, such as seasoned lettuce, controlling the sanitation of the cooking facility and the chlorination of raw ingredients were identified as the significant CCP. Sanitizing was an important CCP because total bacteria were reduced 2~4 log CFU/g after implementation of HACCP. In bean sprouts, microbial levels decreased from 4.20 logCFU/g to 3.26 logCFU/g. There were significant correlations between hygiene knowledge, practice, and microbiological contamination. First, personnel hygiene had a significant correlation with 'total food hygiene knowledge' scores (p<0.05). Second, total food hygiene practice scores had a significant correlation (p<0.05) with improved microbiological qualities of lettuce salad. Third, concerning the assessment of microbiological quality after 1 month, there were significant (p<0.05) improvements in times of heating, and the washing and division process. On the other hand, after 2 months, microbiological was maintained, although only two categories (division process and kitchen floor) were improved. This study also investigated time-temperature control by using ubiquitous sensor networks (USN) consisting of an ubi reader (CCP thermometer), an ubi manager (tablet PC), and application software (HACCP monitoring system). The result of the temperature control before and after USN showed better thermal management (accuracy, efficiency, consistency of time control). Based on the results, strict time-temperature control could be an effective method to prevent foodborne illness.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of A. scaber noodle added with A. scaber extract solution or powder. The weight of cooked noodle and noodle added with A. scaber extract solution was higher than those of the non-added noodle (control) and dried A. scaber powder added noodle. As the amount of A. scaber extract solution or powder was increased, the water absorption rate of noodle was decreased. As the amount of A. scaber solution or powder was increased, the 'L' values of noodles were decreased. Since the 'a' values of all noodles were negative and the 'b' values of all noodles were positive, the color of all noodles were determined to be yellow green. The pH of noodles were 5 to 6 in control noodles and noodles with A. scaber powder. The pH of noodle added A. scaber extract solution was lower than those of others. As amount of A. scaber extract solution or powder was increased, the elasticity of all noodles was decreased. The chewiness of noodles was the highest in noodle added A. scaber extract powder. The quality of noodle added A. scaber extract solution was the excellent among the all other noodles. This result showed that, the quality characteristics and palatability of noodle added A. scaber extract solution or powder was higher than those of control noodle.
