This study was conducted to develop a novel salad dressing composite recipe composed of natural seasoning containing dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes). Dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes) has a better flavor and more nutrients than fresh oak mushroom since vitamins are activated during the drying process. To manufacture salad dressing with Lentirus edodes, dressing with 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% added L. edodes were prepared and tested for quality. The pH of the dressing decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas acidity increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. The L value decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas the a and b values increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. Sugar content increased with added L. edodes. Rradish strength increased with added oak mushroom. Brittleness and chewiness decreased in the lower percentage dressing, increased in the 9% dressing, but decreased again in the 12% dressing. According to the sensory evaluation results, the highest overall acceptability was 3.3, in the 6% dressing compared to the control group.

This study was conducted to find an efficient use for mulberry fruit powder (MFP). MFP was added to salad dressing products at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1%, and pH, total acidity, viscosity, color, and emulsion stability were measured and sensory evaluation was conducted. There were no significant differences among salad dressing samples regarding pH, total acidity and moisture content. Salad dressing made with 0.5% MFP showed significantly higher viscosity during storage and made the most stable emulsion. For color, the control sample had the highest L and b values, and these values decreased significantly as the amount of MFP in the sample increased. The control salad dressing had the lowest a value of -3.26, and this value increased significantly as the amount of MFP in the sample increased. Sensory evaluation of salad dressing was performed by a trained consumer panel. The flavor intensity increased as the amount of MFP increased in the salad dressing samples. Sweetness was rated significantly higher as the amount of MFP increased in the samples. The control sample had the lowest sourness and off-flavor, but there was no significant difference compared to the samples containing MFP.

This study was conducted to evaluate the consumers' preferences and perceptions on the salad and its dressings, via a total of 401 subjects in the Taegu area on the basis of 5-point Likert scale. Anthropometric data included the total subjects consisted of 66 females and 335 males: categorized by age, 20's (103), 30's (135). 40's (83), over 50's (80), The average size of family was 4.2 persons. According to BMI, 64.8% of the subjects belonged to the normal group. The age group that liked salad most was the 20's group, which was also the group that ate salad most frequently. The salad was perceived as food item which is convenient to eat(3.83), healthy(3.63), easy to prepare(3.73) and delicious(3.61) but rarely as a expensive item(2.44). The ingredients, used for salad preparation included fruits and vegetables(3.19) such as tomato and cucumber. Among the salad dressings, the fruit dressing was preferred the most(4.59), while the mayonnaise the least(3.59). The mayonnaise was perceived as an item with highest calories(4.1), and hardly perceived as a luxury item(2.78). The preference for the fruits dressing was highly correlated with the degree of education(p<0.05), age(p<0.001) and BMI(p<0.001). The higher the degree of education, the lower the level of age group, and the lower the BMI, the higher preference for the fruit salad dressing was demonstrated.

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.

In this study, the quality characteristics of salad dressing prepared with mulberry, Schisandra chinensis, and Discorea powder were evaluated. Salad dressing was prepared with salad base (plain yogurt : mayonnaise : fresh cream = 8:1:1), mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity (4:4:6:1 or 4:4:6:3). Discorea powder was added at levels of 0, 7, and 18% to the salad dressing. As the concentration of Discorea powder increased, the pH level increased, and acidity decreased. Hunter's color L (lightness) value of salad dressing decreased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Viscosity increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Moreover, total phenolic content increased according to the amount of Discorea powder. Further, DPPH antioxidant and hydroxyl radical activity of mulberry salad dressing increased as the amount of Discorea powder increased. Sensory preference test results showed that the salad dressing added with Discorea powder had higher scores for color, flavor, taste, and texture than the control. Regarding overall preference, salad dressing containing 7% Discorea powder had the highest scores among the treatments. From these results, salad dressing containing mulberry, Schisandra chinensis for acidity, and Discorea powder for viscosity could be a functional salad dressing with high antioxidant activity.

This study was performed in an effort to standardize the quality of fresh-cut products. Here, consumers' perceptions of fresh-cut products were surveyed to determine the quality factors in preparing quality standards for fresh-cut products. According to the surveys, freshness was the most important factor for consumers when choosing fresh-cut products at the market. Secondary indicators of good quality, i.e., "sensory qualities," were determined to be vibrant color, clean taste, nice feel, neat presentation, etc., as well as knowledge of whether it was organically grown. Off-odors decreased a product's marketability. Likewise, the more wilted or brown it appeared, the less a product was desired. From the results, the quality control indices for fresh-cut products were derived as freshness, discoloration, off-flavor, uniformity, prohibition of adulteration by alien substances, packaging and labeling. The quality of fresh-cut lettuce samples was measured against three storage temperatures: $20^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$. Sensory quality evaluations revealed the following: produce stored at $20^{\circ}C$ lost its marketability in less than one day; produce stored at $10^{\circ}C$ lost its marketability in less than two days; on the other hand, produced stored at $5^{\circ}C$, maintained its marketability for six days. At these respective points, browning started to occur around cut areas, and increased gradually once it began. Vitamin C content decreased with storage time, but storage at $5^{\circ}C$ maintained vitamin content the longest duration. Finally, further examinations were performed on the sensory qualities of fresh-cut lettuce samples at four levels of increased browning. Up to the third level, the product score for marketability was 5.6.

The purposes of this study were to establish washing conditions for vegetable salad to reduce the microbial hazard by using sodium hypochlorite solution and eventually to implement HACCP for salad processing. By using the salad production line of Shinkeum Co. located in Gwacheon, Gyunggi-do, salad samples were washed under several washing conditions (chlorine dip period, chlorine concentration, rinse time, etc.) to determine the most effective conditions. The original washing line consisted of 3 baths (100 ppm chlorine water dip, water rinse, and water rinse), each with a capacity of 100 L of tap water and 5 kg of salad. First, the salad samples were washed with 100 ppm of sodium hypochlorite solution for various dip times (3, 6, 9, 12 min); however, only a 1 log- or less-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved in all groups and the time of chlorine water dip was not a significant factor in reducing the microbial hazard. When another water bath was added before the chlorine water dip (4-bath washing), a 2 log-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved. This result suggested the importance of pre-dipping salad materials in water before chlorine treatment to reduce the organic load on the surface of the vegetables. Coliforms were not detected at all after washing. As the concentration of chlorine $(50{\sim}150\;ppm)$ and rinse time $(0.5{\sim}2\;min)$ increased, greater microbial reduction was achieved; however, physical damage of the salad was observed. Finally, the optimum washing conditions for salad were determined as 3 min-water dip, 3 min-chlorine (100 ppm) dip, 2 min-rinse, and 2 min-rinse.
