Effects of sangwhang mushroom (Phellinus linteus) extract on quality and functionality of ramyon (deep-fried noodle) were investigated by adding 17.5(v/w; II) and 35%(v/w; III) sangwhang mushroom extracts. Although little differences were generally observed in chemical compositions of ramyon samples II, III, and control, potassium contents of samples II and III were lower than control. Content of $(1{\rightarrow}3),\;(1{\rightarrow}4)\;and\;(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucan$, major functional component of sangwhang mushroom, increased in proportion to amount of extract added, 2.04 and $3.69{\mu}g/g$ in samples II and III, respectively, much higher than $0,09{\mu}g/g$ of control. Lightness (L) decreased, whereas redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased with increasing amount of extract added. Ramyons containing extract showed higher preference than control in texture analysis (hardness and tension) and sensory evaluation (taste and texture).

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics of the red peppers for Kimchi preparation. Four cultivars of Korean red pepper with different color value, ten brands of commercial red pepper powder produced at different areas and paprika with imported from Spain were collected. These sample were analyzed for proximate composition, color, capsaicinoid and sensory evaluation, etc. Proximate composition was moisture of 12.6-17.13%, ash of 5.11-8.93%, crude lipid of 7.68-12.81% and crude protein of 11.35-16.72%. Free sugar content showed two-times among samples, the lowest sample was 11.35%(Shintaein), whereas the highest sample was 21.06% (Koisan). Capsaicinoid content of cultivars showed the highest value Dabok with 75.49 mg% and the lowest value Gusung with 18.77 mg%. American Spice Trade Association(ASTA) value, it was indicated redness of red pepper, showed very wide range of values with 47.3-144.7. Correlation coefficient($R^2$) of ASTA value and $a^* $was 0.87, while $R^2$ of 0.05 between of ASTA value and capsaicinoid contents. In sensory attributes, Dongbang(0.87 mg%) and Gusung(0.43 mg%) were not significantly different, while Dabok(1.74 mg%) was significantly different from other smaples in lag time, overall intensity and duration. The difference threshold of hot taste and ASTA value was over 1.0 mg%(capsaicinod content), 70(ASTA value), respectively.

To enhance the yield and bioactivity of hot-water extract from herbal medicine, Astragalus membranaceus was hydrolyzed with carbohydrases, such as ClariSEB and Fungamyl. After hot-water extracts were prepared from each hydrolysate (HW-C/F), physicochemical property, antioxidant activity and sensory property were evaluated. The solid content ($^{\circ}Brix$) of HW-C/F was higher than hot-water extract from A. membranaceus no treated enzyme (control). Although pH of HW-C/F was lower than that of the control, the acidity was higher. Lightness of Hunter's color values was increased in HW-C/F whereas redness and yellowness were decreased. The contents of reducing sugar, flavonoid and polyphenol of HW-C/F were higher than the control but the content of ascorbic acid was not different from control. The inhibitory activity of HW-C/F against lipid peroxidation was slightly higher than control, but DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS reducing, metal chelating activities were significantly increased by HW-C/F. The sensory evaluation also revealed that the sensory panelists preferred HW-C/F to that of control. Therefore, hydrolysis by carbohydrases for preparation of hot-water extract from A. membranaceus is one of the good methods to improve antioxidative activity and sensory property of hot-water extract.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of paprika powders prepared from different cultivars. Powders from the special cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) and the fiesta cultivar(FDFP: freeze dried fiesta paprika powder) were used. The specific gravities, viscosities, heights, specific volumes, colors, textures and sensory evaluations of cake dough containing 2, 4 and 6%(all w/w) paprika powders were measured. Specific gravity and viscosity tended to increase on addition of paprika powder. Cake height and specific volume tended to decrease on addition of paprika powder. Substitution of paprika powder for flour also resulted in decreased yellowness and lightness, and increased redness, of the cake crust. The hardness of cakes containing paprika powders was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powders. Thecolor of the cake crust became darker as the amount of paprika powder increased. The results of sensory evaluation by quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing 4% paprika powder, from either cultivar, was higher than that of control cakes without paprika powder.

Effects of sangwhang mushroom (Phellinus linteus) powder and extract on quality of wet noodle were investigated by adding sangwhang mushroom powder at 2% (w/w: II) of wheat flour and extract at 17 (v/w: III) and 34% (v/w: IV) based on flour source, respectively. Significant decreases were found in L values of dough and noodle, while a and b values increased in proportion to addition of sangwhang mushroom. Addition of sangwhang mushroom decreased volume of cooked noodles, but increased turbidity of soup. Tensions of cooked noodle samples of II, III, IV, and control were 12.17, 17.61, 17.57, and 14.90g, respectively. Sensory properties, including color, flavor, taste, and texture, of noodles added with sangwhang mushroom extracts (III, IV) were significantly superior to control (I) and noodle added with powder (II). These results suggest addition of sangwhang mushroom extract is more suitable than powder for noodle processing.

Effects of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) extract (LicoS) as sugar substitute on kimchi quality was evaluated by investigating acid formation, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and volatile odor components of LicoS-added kimchi. pH of LicoS-added kimchi unripened or ripened for one day did not differ from other samples, but was slightly increased with two or three days ripening. Acidity of unripened kimchi or kimchi ripened for one day significantly increased by addition of LicoS, while that of kimchi ripened for two or three days significantly decreased (p<0.05). Addition of LicoS had no significant effect on lactic acid bacteria count of kimchi compared to sugar. Overall acceptability and taste of 0.05 and 0.1% LicoS-added kimchi ripened for one to three days were higher than other samples, whereas addition of 0.2% LicoS resulted in lowest overall acceptability, taste, and odor. Color of 0.2% LicoS-added kimchi (except 3 day-ripened sample) was inferior to other samples. LicoS addition had no significant effect on volatile odor components of kimchi.

In this study, white bread was prepared with Shinan seomcho powder (SSP). Different amounts of SSP were tested (2, 4, 6 and 8%) to determine the optimal amount. The samples and a control were compared for quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities. As the SSP increased, the total titratable acidity of the dough decreased (pH increased), and a decreased specific volume and baking loss was observed as well. However, the total titratable acidity and pH of the bread did not show significant differences among the samples. The moisture content was highest at a substitution level of 8%, and increased with increasing SSP contents. The crumb L value, a value, and resilience decreased with increasing SSP, whereas the crumb b value and hardness increased. Color, flavor, softness and overall acceptability were highest for the control group and were lowest for the 8% group. This likely reflects the high value of a grassy flavor, green tea taste, bitterness, astringency, and off-flavor at addition level of 8%. As a results, the optimum amount of SSP to add for baking bread would be 2~4%.

In order to prevent the blackening and texture softening of heated shrimp, the pH was adjusted by soaking shrimps in acidic and alkali solutions, and their qualities were evaluated. The lightness of shrimps pretreated with 0.2% (w/w) citric acid and 0.05% (w/w) ascorbic acid solution increased by 20% compared to that of the control. The strength of mechanical hardness of shrimps soaked in acetic acid and phosphate solution (pH 6.0) was significantly higher ($1209g_f$) compared to that of untreated shrimp ($801g_f$; p<0.05), and the overall preference of texture was 0.4 points higher than that of the control in the descriptive sensory evaluation (p<0.05). In contrast, soaking in solution of pH 8 exhibited a weak texture hardening effect ($855g_f$). Additionally, the hardness of the heated shrimp after soaking at an adjusted pH of 4.0 increased to $4046g_f$, but the yield based on weight decreased to 38% compared to that of untreated shrimp (70%; p<0.05).

This study investigated the development of health promoting high quality Mumalangi Kimchi. Angelica gigas Nakai leaves (AGL) were extracted with water and 70% ethanol, and the extracts tested for their electron donating ability (EDA), nitrite scavenging ability (NSA) and inhibitory effects on MDA and A549 cells. The EDA in 100-1,000 ppm water extracts from AGL ranged from 40 to 80%, but that of the ethanol extracts ranged from 37 to 81%. The NSA increased with increasing AGLconcentration in the extracts and decreasing pH. The NSA of the 1,000 ppm water and ethanol extracts from AGL were 29 and 35%, respectively, at pH 1.2. The inhibition ratios of the water and ethanol extracts from AGL on MDA cell growth were 35 and 32%, while those on A549 cell growth were 27 and 23%, respectively, at 1,000 ppm. After sun drying radishes for 15 hours, for the preparation of Mumalangi, the water contents were higher in summer radishes (39.5%) than fall radishes (32.6%) the color of summer radish also changed to brown. During storage of Mumalangi Kimchi, with the addition of 1-3% AGL, at 20?for 4 weeks, the yeast growth was inhibited. The shelf-life of Mumalangi Kimchi was extended by the addition of AGL. In the sensory evaluation of Mumalangi Kimchi, that with the addition 2% AGL had the highest scores for color, flavor, taste, texture, after taste and overall acceptability. Mumalangi Kimchi with the addition of 2% AGL had significant high scores for both taste and overall acceptability (p.0.05).
