This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng prepared with different concentrations of mealworm powder: 0, 1, 2, and 3%. Regarding the proximate composition, moisture, crude lipid and ash contents showed no significant differences among groups, while crude protein contents increased as the mealworm powder increased. The value of lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were higher in 3% added groups than those of control groups. Consumer acceptance test showed no significant differences between the controls and added groups were observed in color, smell, taste and overall acceptability. The total polyphenol content ranged from 19.87 to 51.37 mg GAE/100 g, exhibiting the increase with increasing mealworm powder level. DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power increased as the amount of mealworm powder increased. In conclusion, it is suggested that mealworm powder can be incorporated into Yanggaeng up to 3% without affecting the sensory quality of Yanggaeng.

This study was conducted to promote the utilization of fish paste added with green laver powder as a food product. The tested concentrations of green laver powder were 0, 3, 5, and 7%. The pH of the samples ranged from 6.71 to 6.90, and moisture content ranged from 70.03 to 70.57%. The L and a values of the samples decreased as the concentration of green laver powder increased and b value increased. Folding test in all test samples showed AA that mean good flexibility. In the texture meter test, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness increased according to increasing concentration of green laver powder. However, gumminess and brittleness of the fish paste decreased upon addition of green laver powder. In the sensory evaluation, fish paste prepared with 5% green laver powder was preferred over other fish pastes. These results suggest that green laver powder can be applied to fish paste for the purpose of high quality and functionality.

In the present study, we investigated the physicochemical characteristics and sensory qualities of gruel with added ground yam (20~80%) to increase consumption and application of yams. pH and sugar content of sample gruel decreased with increasing yam content, whereas spreadability increased gradually. Lightness and greenness decreased; however, blueness increased as yam content increased. Viscosity decreased with increasing yam content. Gruel with 40% added yam was the most preferred for flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference. From these results, we found that adding 40% yam was the best to make gruel with high sensory quality.

We suggested specific and practical marketing strategies to coffee shop managers and customers to create a symbiotic relationship. The coffee shop's relationship to reliability, commitment, and shop loyalty was analyzed thoroughly. The samples for this study were 393 coffee shop customers in Seoul. The results showed that customer reliability about coffee shops improved as reputation, customer orientation, specialty, and tie increased, but reliability was reduced as the size of the coffee shop became larger. Communication did not significantly affect reliability. Second, customer reliability positively affected commitment, so commitment increased as customer reliability increased. Third, customer reliability positively affected shop loyalty, so shop loyalty increased as customer reliability increased. Fourth, customer commitment positively affected shop loyalty, so shop loyalty increased as customer commitment increased.

We evaluated the sensory characteristics of Gangjung base obtained from various manufacturers, using a sensory descriptive analysis. Significant differences were observed for all sensory attributes of Gangjung samples with the exception of 'toothpacking'. Sample A showed high intensities for 'external color', 'external roughness', 'sweetness', 'toasted soybean powder flavor', 'crispness', 'fracturability', 'oiliness', and 'loose particles,' whereas it had low intensities for 'rice flour flavor', 'hardness', and 'toughness' compared to those of other samples. Sample B had more 'sourness', 'butyric acid flavor', 'fermented rice flavor', and 'degree of melting' but lower 'air cell size', 'fracturability', and 'flake roughness'. Sample C showed high intensities for 'expansion', 'hardness', 'crispness', and 'flake roughness', whereas sample D showed low intensities for 'expansion' and 'sourness'. These results indicate that Gangjung base samples are markedly different depending on the manufacturer.

This study examined the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyeon made with wet non-glutinous rice flour and rice wine. The samples of Jeung-pyeon were prepared with different ratios of cooked purple sweet potato (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) to analyze the water content, sugar content, pH, chromaticity, texture characteristics, and sensory evaluation. No significant difference in water content, sugar content, and springiness was observed among the 5 samples. The pH and volume showed the highest level at 0%. The L-value and b-value decreased while the a-value increased. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were highest at 9% and lowest at 12%. The extent of violet chromaticity and pore size were optimal in 9%. In addition, 9%-added purple sweet potato showed the highest score of odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the optimal addition for the highest acceptability of cooked purple sweet potato was 9%.

Hospitalized patients' perceptions of the quality of hospital food and their importance were surveyed through questionnaires by 820(men 435, women 385) hospitalized patients in Seoul. The results are as follows: Men rated the size of food portion as being smaller, compared with women. The mean rating for nutrition of food was 3.24, freshness 3.15, taste 2.88, temperature 2.82; Among the food characteristics, nutrition was considered important by largest percentage(75.5%) of respondents, the taste ranked second(74.4%), and freshness was 62.2%; Appetite, atmosphere of ward were positively correlated(p<0.001) with rating of the taste, nutrition, and freshness, but length of hospitalization was negatively correlated (p<0.001) with them; Multiple regression analysis showed that appetite made the greatest contribution and length of hospitalization made the second greatest contribution. The third was atmosphere of ward, and the forth mood condition.

This study examined growth and sensory characteristics of soybean sprout cultured at $25\pm1^{\circ}C$ for 4 days with distilled water(control) and green tea extract(0.03 and $0.05\%$). Initial germination rate was higher when soaking in green-tea extract than in the control. The proper concentration of green-tea extract was $0.03\%$. The growth of soybean sprout in $0.05\%$ green-tea extract was better than the control for the hypocotyl thickness and mot hair. Soybean sprout grown with green-tea extract were better than that with control inappearance, flavor, texture and over-all acceptabilitty.

This study was carried out to investigate quality characteristics of Seolgiddeok containing 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% of Lentinus edodes powder during storage. The water content of Seolgiddeok changed little with the length of storage and the amount of Lentinus edodes powder added. Hunter′s color L value of Seolgiddeok decreased and "a"and "b"value were increased significantly by increasing the amount of Lentinus edodes powder. The hardness, gumminess, adhesiveness, chewiness and cohesiveness of Seolgiddeok decreased, but springiness increased by increasing the amount of Lentinus edodes powder. Seolgiddeok added with 3% Lentinus erodes earned the highest scores in color, taste, softness, chewiness, moistness and overall preference. From the above results of sensory and texture analyses, an addition of 3% Lentinus edodes to Seolgiddeok showed the best result in quality.

Physiocheical properties and chemical compositions of two plums(Oishiwase, Formosa ) produced in Kimcheon area were investigated . Chemical compositions of two plum cultivars were similar except nitrogen free extract(NFE) . NFE value of Formosa was higher than Oishiwase . Alcohol insoluble substance content, total soluble pectin, total sugar content and total organic acid content of Oishiwase were 2.08%, 14.16%, 5.07% and 949.16mg%, respectively. In case of Formosa cultivar, those were 50%, 15.42%, 5.91% and 985.91mg%, respectively. Fructose content among free sugars of two plum cultivars range from 3.97-3.45% and the other were glucose, sucrose and inositol, 1.83-1.53%, 0.08-0.05% and 0.04-0.03%, respectively. Malic acid content was 35-373mg% and others were levulinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid and fumaric acid in the decreasing order.
