Normal- and late-harvested Fuji apples were fermented using the rapid-fermenting yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae SS89. The late-harvest apples showed a slightly higher soluble-solid content with a lower level of total-acid and moisture (p<0.05) contents as well as hardness (p<0.05) than the normal-harvest apples. During the fermentation, the apples had similar changes in the pH and total-acid content regardless of the harvest time, but the increases in the alcohol content and yeast viable count with the decrease of the soluble-solid content were more rapid in the late-harvest apples than in the normal-harvest apples. After the completion of the fermentation, the soluble-solid and alcohol contents became very similar. The late-harvest cider showed a high total phenolic-compound content and a high DPPH radical scavenging effect, although these were slightly lower than those of the normal-harvest cider. It also showed a higher malic-acid content and higher hue color (p<0.05), Hunter's L, and b (p<0.05) values than the normal-harvest cider. In the sensory evaluation, the late-harvest cider obtained a higher score in taste and a lower score in color compared to the normal-harvest cider.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of jelly prepared with different amounts of aronia juice. Aronia juice was incorporated into jelly at concentrations of 3, 6, and 9%, based on the total weight of water. While the total water content of the jelly in different groups was not significantly different, the sugar content significantly increased with increasing levels of aronia juice. In the chromaticity measurements, $L^*$ and $b^*$ values decreased, whereas the $a^*$ values increased with increasing levels of aronia juice in the jelly. Further, the hardness and chewiness of jelly increased with increasing amounts of aronia juice. On the other hand, resilience, cohesiveness, and gumminess of the jelly were nearly similar for the control and samples treated with aronia juice. The total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. In addition, the antioxidant activity measured in terms of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities of the jelly extracts were significantly higher for the samples containing aronia juice compared to the control and increased proportionally with increasing concentrations of aronia juice. In the sensory evaluation, the sample containing 6% aronia juice was perceived to have the best color, taste, texture, chewiness, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that aronia juice may be a useful ingredient in jelly for improving its quality as well as sensory and antioxidant potential.

In order to improve some problems such as contamination of undesirable mold, mycotoxin production and excessive drying on the surface of traditional meju. Control meju without koji and capsule type meju(CM) coated with soybean mixture containing 0.5%, 1% and 2%(w/w) R. oligosporus koji were dried at room temperature (10∼15$^{\circ}C$) for 3 days. Control meju I was fermented in outdoor for 27 days. Control meju IIand CMs were fermented in Korean yellow clay room at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days under 80% relative humidity as first step, and then fermented in outdoor (average temp. 2.7$^{\circ}C$, December) for 20 days as second step. The moisture content of CMs were higher than that of control meju I to the range of 2.88∼7.55%(w/w). pH and titratable acidity in CMs were similar to control group. Amino type nitrogen content in CMs(800.80, 816.0, 901.60 mg%) were 2.2∼2.6 times higher than that in control meju I (347.2 mg%). Reducing sugar content in CMs(2.78∼3.13%) was similar to control meiu I (2.10%) and control meju H(2.31%). Lightness(L) value of control meju I was higher than that of control meju IIand CMs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the storage quality characteristics of bread with added dried mulberry pomace (DMP, 0, 1, 3 or 5%) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. During the entire storage period, the moisture content was higher in breads containing DMP compared with the control bread. Textural properties by TPA showed that the hardness of DMP bread maintained a lower hardness than that of the control during the entire storage period. Moreover, DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) result showed that ${\Delta}H$ (crystal melting enthalpy) of the bread containing DMP was lower than that of the control bread, which indicate the retarding of retrogradation. The sensory preference test results demonstrated that the bread with 3% DMP had higher scores in over-all preference than the others. These results suggest that DMP delays the retrogradation of bread during storage.

In this study we investigated physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies with various levels(0, 3, 6, 9, 12%) of bamboo leaves powder. Spread ratio of control and 3% added sample showed significantly higher value than $6{\sim}12%$ bamboo leaves powder added samples. Loss rate of control showed significantly higher value than other samples. The 'L' and 'b' value was significantly lowed by the addition of bamboo leaves powder. The 'a' value of bamboo leaves powder added samples were significantly lower than control. Share force was increased in proportion to bamboo leaves powder addition level, which had no significance between control and 3% added sample. But Share force showed significantly high level in 9% and 12% added samples. The result of sensory evaluation for color showed the highest preference in 9% added sample and the lowest preference in 3% added sample. Preference of taste was the highest in 9% added sample, hardness was lower by bamboo leaves addition. Overall acceptability was higher in 6% and 9% added samples than others, but they had no significance.

The effects of barnyard millet (Echinochloa spp.) content (10~30%) on wheat flour dough and noodle properties were investigated. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, the particle size and ash content of mixed flour increased, while lightness tended to decrease. The gelatinization characteristics of millet flour showed higher peak viscosity, holding strength, final viscosity, and setback compared with wheat flour. There was significant positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation volume, as well as between protein content and water absorption. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles tended to decrease. From the results of sensory evaluation, composite flours (addition up to 20% barnyard millet) were rated with a quality score for taste and overall acceptance which was comparable with the control flour.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding various concentrations of cherry powder(obtained from freezed dried fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.) on the physicochemical, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of jelly. The pH of the jelly decreased significantly with the addition of cherry powder. The sugar content of the jelly increased significantly (p<0.05) with cherry powder added more than 7%. The Hunter color L-values decreased significantly (p<0.05) by the addition of cherry powder, and a- and b-values increased by the addition of cherry powder compared to the control, but there were no constant changes with increasing amounts of cherry powder. For the textural characteristics, the addition of cherry powder significantly (p<0.05) increased the hardness, chewiness and gumminess but there were no significant difference (p<0.05) in the springness and cohesiveness. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of jelly increased as the concentrations of cherry powder increased. The jellies containing 1 and 5% cherry powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall quality. In consideration of the antioxidant properties and sensory characteristics, the highest quality improvement was obtained by adding 5% (w/w) of cherry powder into the jellies.

We investigated the feasibility of incorporating Codonopsis lanceolata (C. lanceolata) powder into cookies as a value-added food ingredient. The density and moisture content of the dough was not significantly affected by the addition of C. lanceolata powder (p>0.05); the pH ranged from 6.01-6.51. The spread ratio decreased significantly with the increasing levels of C. lanceolata powder added (p<0.05). The lightness decreased, but both browning and hardness increased significantly with the higher amounts of C. lanceolata powder in the formulation (p<0.05). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were increased significantly (p<0.05) and correlated well with increasing amounts of C. lanceolata. In consumer acceptance tests, the addition of C. lanceolata powder, up to 10% (w/w), had a favorable effect on consumer preferences for all the attributes tested. Based on these observations, we recommend cookies with 5% C. lanceolata powder to take advantage of its functional properties without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Black tea is rich in phenolic antioxidants that has shown diverse health benefits such as protection against cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Thus, it is rational to incorporate black tea into suitable food products such as sponge cakes to enhance their nutritional and functional qualities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of black tea powder (BTP) on the quality of sponge cake. The pH of cakes ranged from 7.00~7.17, with no remarkable differences. Height decreased while baking loss rate and hardness significantly increased with increases in the content of BTP in the formulation (p<0.05). For crumb color values, $L^*-value$ decreased while $a^*$ and $b^*-values$ increased as a result of BTP substitution. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (p<0.05) with increases in the content of BTP which were well correlated. Hedonic sensory results indicated that sponge cakes supplemented with 2~4% BTP obtained the most favorable acceptance scores. On the basis of the overall observations, sponge cakes supplemented with 2~4% BTP were found to be benefit from the functional properties of BTP, without compromising on consumer acceptance.
