This study investigated quality characteristics of wet noodles with addition of paprika powder prepared by different cultivars, freeze dried Special paprika powder (FDSP) and freeze dried Fiesta paprika powder (FDFP) at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% based on flour source, respectively. The wet noodles containing paprika powder exhibited higher values for cooked weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity. When the amount of FDSP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) value of cooked noodles decreased but a (redness) value and b (yellowness) value increased. When the amount of FDFP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) and a (redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b (yellowness) value increased. From textural properties measured by a texture analyzer, the noodles with paprika powder were significantly lower in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness than those of 100% wheat noodle. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing paprika powder indicated that the cooked noodles with 1.0% paprika powder showed the highest value.

The purpose of this study was to determine the storage characteristics of Sulgidduk, a kind of rice cake, added with Portulaca oleracea L. The effect of P. oleracea L. paste (0, 1, 3, or 5%) on the storage qualities of Sulgidduk was evaluated during storage period at $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. As the amount of P. oleracea L. paste increased, loss of water in P. oleracea L. Sulgidduk decreased. Textural properties by texture profile analysis showed that hardness of Sulgidduk added with 5% P. oleracea L. paste was the lowest among treated samples. However, the hardness of all Sulgidduks increased during storage, regardless of the addition amount of P. oleracea L. paste. In accordance with the texture results, differential scanning calorimetry exhibited that the enthalpy of Sulgidduk with 5% P. oleracea L. addition was the lowest, indicating the delaying effect of P. oleracea L. paste on retrogradation of rice cake. From these results, the addition of P. oleracea L. to Sulgidduk extended shelf-life by delaying retrogradation.

Effects of cultivation methods on quality characteristics, pasting characteristics, chemical components, and antioxidant activities of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) were determined. The Brix degree, hunter color value, pasting characteristics, moisture, protein, and mineral contents of the sweet potatoes showed significant differences from cultivation methods. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the methanolic extracts of the sweet potato's pericarp were higher than sweet potato's sarcocarp. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the sweet potato's pericarp on the conventional culture and successful cropped hairy vetch culture was 776.38 and 715.20 mg TE/100 g sample. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of the sweet potato's pericarp on the conventional culture and successful cropped hairy vetch culture was 708.03 and 708.58 mg TE/100 g sample. Generally, there was a difference in antioxidant compound content and radical scavenging activity on the methanolic extract of sweet potato with cultivation methods.

Four different Chinese cabbage cultivars were compared for their physicochemical quality characteristics including crude fiber, chlorophyll, firmness, hardness, sugar, and flavor at different parts of the cabbages. No significant difference in crude fiber content was observed among cultivars. Chlorophyll content in midrib was not significantly different among cultivars, however Chlorophyll content in leaf of 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' were greater than that of 'Alpine Summer' Firmness was the highest in 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' but hardness was not significantly different among cultivars. Sugar content was higher in midrib than in leaf. 'Golden Spring' a showed the highest sugar content in midrib. Glucose content was higher than the fructose content in leaf, but was opposite in midrib. Sensory evaluation showed that 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' were the best in yellowness, and 'Golden House' and 'Alpine Summer' were the best for their taste and aroma in midrib, however, no significant difference in texture was observed among cultivars.

Betarich carrots were washed at various hypochloric acid(HCA) concentration and steeping time and packed in PE bag keeping at $8^{\circ}C$ for 12 days, in order eventually to examine microbiology, firmness, surface color, whiteness index(WI) and sensory quality. It was found that total bacterial counts at T-II and T-III with the 3 minute steeping were $4.37{\pm}0.19\;\log\;CFU/g$ and $4.27{\pm}0.13\;\log\;CFU/g$ respectively, showing slight decrease compared to control condition. E. coli was not detected at all treatments but less coliforms were detected at the 8-day treatments of T-II and T-III. Treatment of 3-minute steeping showed smaller reduction in firmness than that of I-minute steeping at 12-days, and T-1 (T-3) had the largest (smallest) reduction among them. It was also found that during the treatment the L-value showed decreasing trend, but the parameter a- and b-value showed increasing trend. WI increased, and its change was small with the increase in HCA concentration. The sensory quality check after 8 day storage showed that evaluation of the off-flavor appeared to be significantly high (p<0.05) at both non-treatment and HCA treatment. On the basis of the results above, it is likely to be more effective to prolong the period of circulation of beta rich carrots if you use HCA over 50 ppm for washing betarich carrots. This study will contribute to improve safety and quality in circulation of beta rich carrots.

The effect of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical properties of chicken meat and its sensory quality were investigated during 41 days of storage at 3 to $4^{\circ}C$ following irradiation of 5 to 10 kGy. Immediately after irradiation, the water holding capacity of chicken meat decreased slightly with the increase of irradiation dose, whereas during storage, the water holding capacity of irradiated groups was superior to that of the nonirradiated ones. With increasing the irradiation dose and storage time, the TBA values of irradiated groups were higher than those of nonirradiated ones. The volatile basic nitrogen content of nonirradiated group markedly increased over 20mg% by microbial spoilage from the 10th day of storage, however, the irradiated groups of over 8 kGy showed only the 16 to 18mg% until 41 days of storage. The irradiated groups had a slight irradiation-odour that dissipated during up to 3 days of storage, and also they showed a slight pink discoloration in the carcasses and this tendency was much more pronounced with increasing irradiation dose. The nonirradiated group gave off an off-odour due to the spoilage around 5 to 7 days of storage and showed a change in meat appearance, while the irradiated groups of over 5 kGy maintained a fresh state during the 25 to 30 days of storage.

Changes in cooking properties of kidney beans A (reddish purple), B (mosaic), and C (pale yellow) during storage at $4^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}C$ for 5 months were examined. The weight and volume gains of raw beans during soaking at $30^{\circ}C$ were the greatest in kidney bean A followed by B and C, which were decreased from 3 months storage at $30^{\circ}C$. The weight gain, solid loss and hardness of cooked beans at $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 min decreased from 3 months of storage at $30^{\circ}C$ in all samples. The amylograms of whole kidney bean flours showed no peak and continuous increase of viscosity during heating. The kidney bean A showed the higher values in all reference points than kidney beans B and C which had similar amylogram patterns.

This study was conducted to secure basic information for corn processing by comparing the quality characteristics according to maize cultivars and kernel types (dent, intermediate, flint-like). As a result of analyzing 15 cultivars, a range of measurements were observed: 100-kernel weight, 22.89~35.63 g; moisture, 7.57~8.42%; crude protein, 8.46~11.45%; crude lipids, 3.26~4.83%; Hunter's L-value, 83.70~86.79; a-value, 2.61~5.49; b-value, 22.01~28.15; and total carotenoids, 6.74~17.07 ㎍/g. Significance among the cultivars was shown in all quality characteristics (p<0.001), but the significance among the kernel types was found only in crude protein (p<0.005), crude fat (p<0.001), and Hunter's L-value (p<0.05). The hardness of maize was decreased proportionally to the soaking time for all maize cultivars (p<0.001). In particular, with the same soaking time for different kernel types, the hardness difference was shown in the order of flint-like > dent ≒ intermediate. It was confirmed that the decrease in the hardness of flint-like kernel of close to that of hard-type starch was slowed compare dent and intermediate kernels. So it is expected the some characteristic of kernel types will contribute to the appropriate customized use of the developed cultivars.

Arrowroot Mook was prepared as a trial to develop new food items from natural resources, and its rheological properties were measured. 1. The starting point of gelatinization of 7% arrowroot starch solution was $67.5^{\circ}C$ as measured by amylograph. The viscosity of arrowroot starch reached the maximum 375 B.U. at $95^{\circ}C$ and decreased to 315 B.U. while holding at $95^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. When the temperature dropped to $50^{\circ}C$, the viscosity increased again to 530 B.U. 2. The gelatinization enthalpy of arrowroot starch was 15.603 J/g. 3. For the color, there were significant differences in b value for the arrowroot Mook made of arrowroot starch and in L value for the Mook made by the addition of arrowroot juice. 4. In descriptive analysis, $S_3$(14% arrowstarch) was most favored in color, and $S_1$(10% arrowstarch)was most favored in transparency, brittleness, fineness, and shininess. There were no significant differences in hardness, adhesiveness, and astringency. 5. On the contrary to mechanical measurement, there were no significant differences in hardness of samples as the addition of arrowroot juice increased, although there appeared a tendency to be softer in descriptive analysis. 6. The Mook prepared with 12% arrowroot starch was most favored by sensory evaluation. In case of adding arrowroot juice, the Mook containing 3% of arrowroot juice was most favored. Overall, arrowroot Mook showed a potential as a new food item.

Twenty pork loins were processed for manufacturing raw hams according to a short-ripening procedure including dry-and wet-curing for 1 week each, followed by ripening for 2 weeks. Raw ham cuts were vacuum-packaged and stored in darkness at 10 and $25^{\circ}C$ for 90 days, and their physicochemical and sensory quality characteristics were investigated. The sodium chloride content of raw hams stored at 10 and $25^{\circ}C$ was maintained at approximately 5.1% throughout storage at either temperature. No significant changes in water, crude protein, crude fat and ash contents were observed in all samples regardless of storage temperature and storage length. Thiobarbituric acid and volatile basic nitrogen values increased continuously during the storage period. The changes in physicochemical characteristics including pH, water activity texture lipid oxidation and protein degradation, and sensory attributes appeared to be more pronounced at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $10^{\circ}C$ over the storage period. At prolonged storage periods, a significant quality loss in the aspect of texture changes including hardness, brittleness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess, and adhesiveness was observed (p<0.05). Based on sensory evaluation scores, It appeared that vacuum-packaged raw ham cuts stored at 10 and $25^{\circ}C$ were not acceptable after 75 and 45 days, respectively.
