This study was carried out to investigate the effect of pastry margarine content and number of layers on moisture content, baking loss, specific loaf volume and the vapor action in the manufacturing process of puff pastry. As the number of layers of the puff pastry increased the moisture content of the products slightly increased. And the moisture contents of the products decreased, as the pastry margarine contents of the puff pastry increased in the same number of layers. The baking loss of the products tended to decrease as the number of layers increased. On the other hand, as the pastry margarine contents of the puff pastry increased, the baking loss of the product increased. When the pastry margarine content in puff pastries became 130%, 81 layers provided the maximum specific loaf volumes $21.62{\pm}0.79\;ml/g$ of puff pastries. When 110% of margarine and 256 layers were applied for preparation of puff pastry, the number of vapor action was $8.25{\pm}0.50$ with the vapor action size of 9-15 mm.

We investigated the effects of the amount of margarine and the number of layers on moisture content, baking loss, volume, hardness, maximum weight, and vapor action of the Danish pastry. The moisture content of Danish pastry increased slightly with the amount of margarine, as did the number of layers. The moisture content for a certain number of layers decreased as the amount of margarine increased. The baking loss with a fixed amount of margarine varied inversely with the number of layers, while the loss with a given number of layers decreased in proportion with the margarine content. The maximum volume of Danish pastry was obtained with 30% margarine-18 layers, 50%-27 layers, 70%-36 layers, 90%-48 layers and 110%-48 layers. The hardness and maximum weight of Danish pastry also varied inversely with the margarine content for a given number of layers, and decreased at a same margarine content when the number of layers increased. The maximum volume of the Danish pastry was obtained when vapor action was 9-16mm and 17-24mm. The optimal vapor action was in the range 9-24mm. In this range, the volume of the pastry was proportional to the vapor action.

Physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of 12 randomly selected Korean margarines were determined, which were stored within one month since manufactured. Average moisture and fat contents of margarines were 15.09% ana 77.92% respectively. Melting point was ranged from 33.23$^{\circ}C$ to 42. 13$^{\circ}C$. Acid value and peroxide value were very low. iodine value was ranging from 59.65 to 86. 05. As a result of cluster analysis using the data of fatty acid composition, margarines divided into two groups according to their package condition, soft and hard type, were also classified into the same two groups. This probably implies that the raw materials of margarines between two groups were not the same. O1eic acid (18:1) and palmitic acid (16:0) in soft and hard type margarines respectively were the highest. Linoleic acid (18 : 2) contents showed large differences among margarines. Most of the margarines had little linolenic acid (18:3) . Generally essential fatty acid contents of Korean margarines were higher than those of the past but they didn't reach the levels of margarines made in some foreign countries.

Although negative evidences of trans fatty acids(tFAs) are gradually increasing, the hypercholesterolemic effect of tFAs are controversial and its biological significances are still not known. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dietary tFAs on cholesterol metabolism and membrane fluidity in rats. Animals were fed diets containing 0.5% cholesterol and 20% test fats(margarine, butter, corn oil) for 8 weeks. Each test fats(margarine, butter, corn oil) contained 25%, 8.5% and no tFAs, respectively, Plasma total triglyceride(TG) were not different among diet treatments. Feeding trans fat diets (margarine and butter) lowered plasma cholesterol. Specially, butter diet elevated LDL-cholesterol and decreased HDL-cholesterol levels, resulting in the highest atherogenic index among diet treatments. Hepatic cholesterol concentration and HMG CoA reductase activity were also decreased, whereas fecal excretion of cholesterol was increased in trans fat-fed animals. trans fat containing diets also decreased hepatic membrane fluidity. From these results, it can be concluded that hypercholesterolemic effect of tFAs can be modulated by the fatty acid composition of diets, but its spatial cofiguration may help behave like saturated fatty acid in membrane fluidity.

Effects of changes in the margarine content and the number of layers of the puff pastry on the color, hardness, and hardness change during storage of the final products were investigated. At equal content of pastry margarine, the lightness of the crust decreased slightly as the number of layers increased. Redness of the puff pastry with 70% margarine content and 81 layers was $16.8{\pm}2.3$ and yellowness of puff pastry with 70% margarine content and 256 layers was 26. No significant differences were observed in the crumb change of the samples. The puff pastry with 90% margarine content and 144 layers showed the lowest hardness of $839.6{\pm}75.6g$. Hardness of the products storage period increased significantly as the number of layers increased at equal pastry margarine content, whereas with same number of layers, decreased gradually as pastry margarine content increased. Results of the sensory evaluation reveal that the puff pastry with 90% margarine content and 144 layers was better than other samples. These results show the important of selecting the optimum number of layers during the manufacturing process to obtain the optimum condition for the mouthfeeling, flavor and overall acceptability of final products.

This study was designed to determine total trans fatty acids (tFAs) content of processed foods commonly consumed in the Korean diet and to prepare the database for the estimation of tFAs intake in Koreans. Total fat and tFAs content was determined by Soxhlet extraction method and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR), respectively. The tFAs positional isomers were analyzed using GC/MS spectrometer. In margarines, the content of tFAs ranged from 8.27% to 28.53%. Shortenings contained higher levels of tFAs (1.98~11.33%) than lards (1.83~1.96%). The content of tFAs in grilled confectioneries was wide (7.37~26.54%). Instant popcorns contained the highest amount of tFAs. Fried chickens had 0.44 to 14.85% of tFAs and french fries had 5.18 to 27.01% of tFAs. In fried snacks (crispy) and chocolates, tFAs were not detected. The amount of tFAs per serving size was the highest in instant popcorn, followed by french fries, fried snack (tortilla), doughnuts, and grilled confectioneries. TFAs isomer of margarines was mostly C18:1${\Delta}$9t. In shortenings and lards, the most abundant positional isomer of tFAs was C18:1${\Delta}$9t and C18:2${\Delta}$9t ${\Delta}$12t. Correlation coefficient of tFAs content between IR and GC/MS method was $r^2$=0.91.

A new devised conductivity meter was used in the rapid and convenient determination of salt contents of soysauce and margarine. The equation $(1){\sim}(5)$ was set up between the electric conductivity (x) for 100 times diluted solution of soysauce and the salt contents (y). y=0.083x-1.253 $(at\;15^{\circ}C)$ (1) y=0.077x-2.062 $(at\;20^{\circ}C)$ (2) y=0.071x-2.686 $(at\;25^{\circ}C)$ (3) y=0.066x-3.153 $(at\;30^{\circ}C)$ (4) y=0.062x-3.522 $(at\;35^{\circ}C)$ (5) y=(-0.001139t+0.0999)x+(-0.126t+0.557) $(temperature\;range;\;15{\sim}35^{\circ}C)$ (6) y=salt contents [%], x=conductivity $[{\mu}{\Omega}^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}]$, $t=temp.\;[^{\circ}C]$. The salt contents could be estimated by the equation $(1){\sim}(6)$ and the measured conductivity. The estimated salt contents agreed with that determined by conventional method within 0.27[%] as salt contents. For margarine, the equation (7) was setup between the conductivity (x) and the salt contents (y) y=0.00266x+0.057 $(at\;20^{\circ}C)$ (7) y=salt contents [%], x=conductivity $[{\mu}{\Omega}^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}]$ The salt contents estimated with the equation (7) and the measured condutivity agreed with that determined by conventional method within 0.028[%] as salt contents. The electric conductivity obtained with conductivity meter could be a valuable criteria salt contents test of Korean soysauce and margarine determining in a few second or minute by handy compact portable meter.

This study was designed to determine the distribution of trans fatty acids (tFAs) isomers of Processed foods commonly consumed in Korea. The tFAs positional isomers were analyzed using GC/MS spectrometer with HP-23 cis/trans FAME, capillary column (50m $\times$ 0.20 mm, id., 0.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ film thickness) for 41 food samples. TFAs isomers were identified by comparing retention time with standards and GC/MS spectrum. In margarines, the content of tFAs ranged from 4.0% to 25.16% and the most abundant positional isomer of tFAs was C18:1 $\Delta$9t. In oils and fats, lards contained higher levels of tFAs (5.70~16.54%) than shortenings (6.77~10.55%). Shortenings contained higher levels of C18:1 $\Delta$9t (3.1~5.1%) than lard (1.6~4.3%), but corn oils had no tFAs. In seasonings, mayonnaise had no C16:1 $\Delta$9t, whereas C18:3t was detected. The content of tFAs in confectioneries was wide (16.20~52.16%). Among them, instant popcorns contained the highest amount of tFAs. Milk and dairy products showed even distribution of tFAS such as C18:1t, C18:2t, and C18:3t. Predominant tFAS isomer of condensed milk and ice cream was C16:1 $\Delta$9t. Frozen french fries and fried chicken contained higher levels of C18:1$\Delta$9t (9.4%), whereas grilled pork (jowl) had no C18:1 $\Delta$9t. The amount of tFAs per serving size was the highest in popcorn, followed by frozen pizza, frozen french fries, fried chicken, and bakeries.
