The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Sulgidduk substituted with 2%, 4%, 6%, or 8% Shinan Seomcho (spinach, Spinacia oleracea L.) powder (SSP). The moisture content was lowest in the control (38.54%) and increased with greater SSP content, whereas water activity showed the opposite pattern. For color values, lightness significantly decreased with increasing SSP content. For texture analysis, hardness was lowest in Sulgidduk substituted with 4% SSP (154.97 g), and fracturability was lowest at a substitution level of 8%. Adhesiveness was not significantly different among the samples. Springiness significantly increased with greater SSP content. Gumminess and chewiness were highest at a substitution level of 2%. In the sensory evaluation, grass-flavor, bitterness, and off-flavor significantly increased with greater SSP content. Moisture was not significantly different among the samples. Sweetness, color, flavor, softness, and overall acceptability significantly decreased with greater SSP content. However, the overall acceptability scores of all samples substituted with SSP were higher than average. From the results, the optimum level of SSP substitution for production of Sulgidduk is be suggested to be 2~4%.

The feasibility of incorporating aronia powder (AP) as a value-added food ingredient into convenient food products was investigated using cookie as a model system. AP was incorporated into cookies at amounts of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4% (w/w) based on total weight of wheat flour. The pH level of cookie dough decreased significantly with increasing levels of AP (P<0.05), whereas moisture content and density were not directly affected by levels of AP incorporation. The spread ratio increased significantly upon addition of AP; however, it was not significantly affected by level of AP incorporation. The loss rate of cookies decreased significantly with increasing levels of AP (P<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased while redness increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing levels of AP. Use of AP significantly decreased hardness of cookies (P<0.05), but no significant differences were found between control and 1% sample, 1% and 2% sample, 2% and 3% sample, and 3% and 4% sample (P>0.05). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly elevated by AP addition, and they increased significantly as AP concentration increased in the formulation (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that acceptances of color and chewiness were negatively correlated well with the level of AP incorporation, density and moisture content of cookie dough, and cookie redness, whereas they were positively correlated with pH of cookie dough, loss rate, and hardness (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of AP incorporation (4%) had an adverse effect on general consumer preferences. In contrast, cookies with moderate levels of AP (2%) are recommended based on overall scores to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of AP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The purpose of this study is to suggest indicators and proper standards to forecast the sensory quality of 'Hongisul' grape. Further, this study determines the optimum fruit load of 'Hongisul' grape reflecting consumer preference. Among several quality attributes, identified through instrumental and sensory evaluation, soluble solid-acid ratio was the most useful indicator of consumer preference for 'Hongisul' grapes. The ideal soluble solid-acid ratio for marketable grapes was found to be higher than 86.3. Analysis on the effects of fruit load control on fruit quality revealed a negative correlation where the latter increased as the former decreased. This trend is common for all grape species. The field with a fruit load of $1,400kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$ exhibited a soluble solid-acid ratio of less than 86.3, uneven coloring and slow softening texture at the mature stage. However, fruit quality proved excellent in the field with a fruit load of $1,200kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$ or less. It is therefore proposed that fruit load should be controlled to $1,200kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$ or less when growing 'Hongisul' grapes to produce high quality grapes. We believe that this result can be used as a standard in judging harvest time and evaluating fruit quality.

This study was carried out to determine the physico-chemical components and to examine it the consumers can tell the difference in eating quality of loins of Hanwoo with grade and sex. Loins of 36 carcasses were selected and their intramuscular fat, color, pH, water holding capacity, shear force, the amount of myoglobin and moisture content were measured. The result was that only intramuscular fat was significantly different with grades. In Pearson correlation coefficients among quality factors, moisture content increased significantly with the amount of myoglobin(0.514) and shear force(0.503) and decreased as intramuscular fat(－0.957) and water holding capacity(－0.491) increased. Also, content of intramuscular fat decreased as shear force(－0.565) increased. According to descriptive analysis, aroma and acceptability in the 2nd grade steer showed the highest score. Aroma, juiciness and tenderness may affect acceptability of cooked meat. Also, juiciness, tenderness and acceptability had a negative correlation with moisture content and the intramuscular fat did not affect tenderness directly.

The mineral contents of Porphyra yezoensis were: K, 2,612.400 mg; Ca, 116.970 mg; Na, 486.099 mg; Mg, 297.800 mg; Fe, 9.636 mg; Mn, 1.614 mg; and Cu, 0.973 mg. And those of the sea tangle powder were: K, 5,115.000 mg; Na, 1,848.931 mg; Ca, 763.030 mg; Mg, 525.700 mg; Fe, 15.125 mg; Zn, 4.639 mg; and Mn, 0.146 mg. Moisture content was not significantly different among the samples of kimbugak puffed by the microwave oven and frying. For the color of the kimbugak made with the microwave oven or frying, L values decreased as the level of sea tangle powder increased. Color a and b values were lowest in the control group. The color values(L, a, and b) of the kimbugak puffed by frying were higher than those made using the microwave oven. The hardness of the kimbugak samples puffed using the microwave oven were not significantly different according to levels of sea tangle powder, and in the kimbugak puffed by frying, the lowest hardness was in the sample with 6% sea tangle. In sensory evaluations, color and crispness were not significantly different among the samples. The flavor scores of the 4% and 6% samples puffed by frying were higher than those of the kimbugak samples puffed using the microwave oven. The overall acceptability of the kimbugak puffed by frying and containing 6% sea tangle powder was the highest. In conclusion, 4 and 6% sea tangle powder would be considered optimum amounts for kimbugak puffed by frying.

In relation to making tofu with red ginseng extract, the effects of added red ginseng extract on the storage and antioxidant activity of tofu were investigated. When red ginseng extract was added in $0.5%{\sim}2%$ of dried soybean, differences in texture, color and sensory properties were compared. The textural properties of tofu slightly increased depending on the added amount of red ginseng extract in terms of the hardness and springiness: significant difference was demonstrated in the tofu with 2% red ginseng extract, and the color properties also significantly increased in terms of the values of L, a, and b. As a result of sensory evaluation, although the preference to color tended to diminish, as the peculiar taste of red ginseng was significantly perceived, the overall preference did not show any statistical difference. Therefore, the addition of red ginseng extract may be interpreted as not having negative effect on the preference of consumers. There was no change at the early stage of storage in pH, turbidity and total microbial count when the tofu was stored at $15^{\circ}C$. However, the changes in pH and in turbidity, and total microbial counts according to the addition of red ginseng extract took place from the second day and from the sixth day of storage, respectively, suggesting that the shelf-life of tofu may be extended due to its antimicrobial effect. Especially, the highest antimicrobial effect was observed tofu with 2% red ginseng extract. Concerning the antioxidant activity of tofu using oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, the antioxidant activity significantly increased along with the increase in concentration of red ginseng extract. In ORACOH.assay, the pro-oxidant activity was shown in the tofu added with red ginseng extract.

This study investigated the antioxidant properties of yangha(Zingiber mioga Rosc) and quality characteristics of kimchi with added yangha during a 21-day fermentation process at $4^{\circ}C$. Yangha was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15% (w/w). The quality characteristics of kimchi with added yangha were determined by measuring pH, salinity, mineral contents, lactic acid bacteria amounts, color value and sensory evaluation. From the results, total phenolic ($3.85{\mu}M$ quercetin equivalent/g) and total flavonoids ($0.49{\mu}M$ quercetin equivalent/g) contents were measured in yangha. The number of lactic acid bacteria of kimchi with added yangha significantly increased with increasing yangha content, especially 10%. The brightness value increased with increasing yangha content. However, the redness tended to decrease by the addition of 10% and 15% yangha. The consumer acceptability score for the kimchi with added 10% yangha ranked significantly higher than that of the other groups in overall acceptability, taste, flavor, and color(p<0.05). From these results, we suggest that yangha may be used as a natural antioxidant and that it is a good food ingredient for increasing the functionality and consumer acceptability of kimchi.

The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary information for the utilization extension of Chinese artichoke(Stachys sieboldii Miq) as a functional food material. The effects of the addition of Chinese artichoke powder(0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) in white bread formulation on phenolics content and antioxidant properties, and sensory analysis(seven-point hedonic test) were examined. The contents of total polyphenols(TPC), flavonoids (TFC), and tannins(TTC) in Chinese artichoke powder were $139.09{\pm}1.97mg\;GAE/g\;dw$, $74.33{\pm}2.69mg\;QE/g\;dw$, and $40.41{\pm}2.54 mg\;TAE/g\;dw$, respectively. As the amount of Chinese artichoke powder increased, the phenolics contents also significantly increased(p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001 on TPC, TFC, and TTC, respectively), the highest TPC($104.27{\pm}0.13mg\;GAE/g\;dw$), TFC($71.03{\pm}1.75mg\;QE/g\;dw$), and TTC($8.76{\pm}0.12mg\;TAE/g\;dw$) were achieved in the white bread having the highest percentage of Chinese artichoke powder(12%). The $IC_{50}$ values of Chinese artichoke extract for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid(ABTS) radical scavenging activities were 1.42 mg/mL and 1.57 mg/mL, respectively. Scavenging activities of DPPH and ABTS radicals of white bread were significantly increased according to the levels of added Chinese artichoke powder(p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). In the acceptance test, the white bread containing 9% Chinese artichoke powder was ranked significantly higher than the other groups according to all sensory parameters such as appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and the overall acceptability. Overall, Chinese artichoke enhanced white bread could be developed as an antioxidant-enriched bread with good sensorial properties.

This study was conducted to develop the descriptive analysis procedures for evaluating the sensory characteristics of yeast leavened breads. Eleven highly trained panelists identified the following 23 sensory attributes in the bread and defined the terminology for each attribute; yellowness of crumb, roughness of surface, uniformity of cell, density of cell, brownness of crust for appearance characteristics, yeast fermented, chemical, roasted flour, buttery, milky, boiled flour, sweet, and salty for flavor characteristics, springiness, ease to tear, moistness on surface, adhesiveness to lip, hardness, stickiness, cohesiveness of mass, moisture absorption, chewiness, and loose particles for textural characteristics. Reference samples for the flavor attributes were determined. There were significant differences in all of the 23 sensory attributes of commercial bread samples. The principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to summarize the sensory data. The first two principal components explained 89% of the variation of the original variables indicating reliability of procedure developed in this study.
