Breads were prepared with the addition of sprouted brown rice flour(SBRF) as a funtional ingredient up to 50%, and their quality characteristics were evaluated through analyses of proximate composition amino acid by HPLC, fatty acid by GC, and sensory evaluation. The optimum amount of SBRF for bread preparation was 30%(w/w). The more SBRF was added, the greater the proximate components such as ash, crude protein, crude fat, fiber and amino acid content were, although the baking quality such as volume decreased. The results of sensory evaluation for bread showed that the more SBRF was added, the lower the scores of color, appearance. texture and the feelings in the mouth were, but the higher the score of taste.

This study investigated the effects of rice starch addition, including native, acetylated, and hydroxypropy-lated rice starch, on the quality characteristics of instant fried noodles. Compared to 100% wheat flour (control), flours containing acetylated or hydroxypropylated rice starch showed reduced initial pasting temperatures as well as peak and breakdown viscosities as determined using a Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA). The addition of acetylated and hydroxylated rice starch as well as native rice starch increased cooked weight, volume, and water absorption of the fried noodles compared to control noodles. The addition of native rice starch tended to increase softness of noodles, whereas addition of acetylated or hydroxypropylated rice starch significantly lowered hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values. The results of the sensory evaluation indicate that noodles containing rice starch showed improved sensory characteristics such as color, appearance, flavor, taste, and texture. Especially, acetylated rice starch could be used to improve eating quality of instant fried noodles.

To prepare soybean curd utilizing effectively bioactive component of soybean, ultra fine whole soybean flour(UFWSF) was used as a soybean curd material for preparation of uncompressed whole soybean flour curd(UWSFC) in this study. The UWSFC was made with treatment by proteinase and coagulant, and proximate composition, color, textural properties and sensory evaluation of that were analyzed. Protease produced from Aspergillus sojae, bromelain and papain showed soybean curd coagulation ability and the pretense produced from Aspergillus sojae showed the highest soybean curd coagulation ability. When, after first heating and homogenizing, the proteinase was added to soybean milt textural properties of UWSFC were the best. Hunter's L and b values and textural properties (hardness, fracturability springiness, gumminess and chewiness) of UWSFC using proteinase and coagulant were higher than commercial soft soybean curd and adhesiveness and cohesiveness showed contrary tendency.

This study investigated the recognition and preference of foreign students to Tangpyeongchae, in order to suggest strategy for developing Tangpyeongchae acceptable for them. Questionnaires translating in Chinese and English were given to 75 Chinese and American university students in Chungnam province. A total of 70 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software(version 12.0). The students were asked about impression, recognition, preference and factors for improving acceptability of Tangpyeongchae. The respondents consisted 51(72.9%) Chinese and 19(27.1%) Americans. This research was conducted from May 11 to May 18, 2012. The results of this study were as follows : Impression after eating Tangpyeongchae got better scores than first impression by Chinese students, whereas there were no significant differences in Americans' impression. The main reason for good impression after eating it was 'good taste'. The Chinese and Americans' mean overall acceptance scores of Tangpyeongchae were 4.06 and 3.86 on 5-point scale, respectively, showing that they had high acceptance for Tangpyeongchae. Most of the Chinese students chose 'taste' as the most important factor for enhancing the popularity for Tangpyeongchae. It proposed that the control of taste may be a main factor, and then need to develop the sauce and seasonings which is suitable for Chinese taste for developing Chinese favorite Tangpyeongchae. Most of American students answered the texture should be improved for Americans' preference.

This study was developed a multi-step process of functional jungkwa preparation from jujube fruits to prepare a new processed food, and investigated on the quality of jujube jungkwa. The weight of jujube fruits notably increased during the second processing, compared with jungkwa prepared from dried jujube fruits using an osmosis drying treatment. The weight of jungkwa produced in the second processing step was less than those in the first step. The Hunter values (L, a, b) of dried jujube fruits after the first processing were less than those of control jujube fruits. The L value did not change after the second processing of jujube jungkwa, but the a and b values were markedly decreased. However, the Hunter values did not change during the third processing step. The moisture content of dried jujube fruit, and dried fruit treated by supplementary drying (DDJF) was 37.74 and 35.93%, respectively, and that of dried fruit treated by osmosis drying was 40.42%. The moisture content of dried jujube fruit after the second processing decreased by 2-10%, and by 4-10% after the third processing. The reabsorption ratio of jujube jungkwa after the second processing was 16.93%, and that of jungkwa produced from osmosis-dried fruit 24.81%. The strength and hardness of dried jujube fruit treated with supplementary drying (DDJF) were higher, at 3 and 2, respectively, compared to the values of dried jujube fruit. The rheology of jujube fruit and jungkwa did not change during the second processing. The color, glossiness, acceptability of appearance, flavor, and overall acceptability of dried jujube fruit treated by osmosis drying as the second processing step were somewhat higher than those of fruit processed by other methods. The scores for appearance, flavor, chewiness, after taste, and overall acceptability of dried fruits treated with supplementary drying as the third processing step were somewhat greater than those of fruit prepared by other means. Accordingly, we have developed a process for preparation of jungkwa from dried jujube fruit treated by supplementary drying and osmosis drying as the second and third processing steps.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of various quality preservative treatments for extending shelf life and maintaining good quality of minimally processed fruit and vegetables produced in Korea. To determine the suitable treatments for delaying quality deterioration, fresh Asian pears and Chinese cabbages were sliced and treated with various quality preservatives (1% CaCl$_2$, 1% NaCl, 3% sucrose, 1% Ca-lactate, 1% vitamin C, 0.05% chitosan ＋1% vitamin C, 0.1% Sporix＋1% vitamin C, hot water (60$\^{C}$), 0.2% L-cysteine), packed with polyethylene film (60㎛-thick), and stored at 4$\^{C}$/0$\^{C}$ or 20$\^{C}$. Various biological and sensory tests were performed to evaluate the quality changes in minimally processed products. Results indicated that Chinese cabbages treated with 1% CaCl$_2$ at 4, and 1% CaCl$_2$ and 1% NaCl at 20$\^{C}$ were most effective in maintaining the quality and minimizing the biochemical changes during storage. For sliced Asian pears, 0.2% L-cysteine and 1% NaCl treatments were effective to reduce browning, and 1% CaCl$_2$ treatment was the most effective to prevent softening during storage at 20$\^{C}$ and 0$\^{C}$. Modified atmosphere packaging of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes had a significantly different shelf life depending on packaging material, packaging thickness and storage temperature. Sealed packaging with polyethylene film (60㎛-thick) for two kinds of mushrooms maintained a good quality with an extended shelf life by 30-50% at 20$\^{C}$ and by 30-130% at 0$\^{C}$. To minimize the quality deterioration which appeared in the condition of polyethylene film packaging, quality preservatives such as KMnO$_4$ and KHSO$_2$＋K$_2$S$_2$O$\_$5/ for SO$_2$ generation were added inside of mushroom packaging. The best condition for maintaining good quality longer was packaging with polyethylene film+SO$_2$ which showed 5080% extended shelf life for both Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes at 20$\^{C}$ and 0$\^{C}$.

This study aimed to investigate preferences for sous-vide cooked jabchae between Korean and Chinese consumers according to sauce mixing proportion. To commercialize sous-vide cooked jabchae and localize it for overseas circumstances in the Korean and Chinese markets, consumers' subjective preferences for sous-vide cooked jabchae were investigated especially in 119 Korean consumers (55 males and 64 females) and 136 Chinese consumers (70 males and 66 females). For jabchae samples, this study set up three different mixture rates of soy sauce and sugar, 8% (LSS), 13% (MSS), and 18% (HSS), and three different salad oil rates, 0% (LO), 12% (MO), and 24% (HO), to propose nine kinds of samples. As a result of consumer preferences, for Koreans, MSS and HSS regardless of oil content were significantly high in overall, appearance, saltiness, sweetness preferences, and purchase intention (P<0.001). In addition, for oiliness preference, LSS, MSS, LO, and MO were significantly high (P<0.001). For Chinese, HSS, MO, and HO were significantly high in overall, flavor preference, and purchase intention (P<0.001). For saltiness and sweetness preference, regardless of oil content, saltiness preference was significantly high in HSS and sweetness in MSS and HSS (P<0.001). For oiliness preference, regardless of content of soy sauce and sugar mixture, LO and MO were significantly higher, and for appearance preference, there was no significant difference among all samples (P<0.01). In general, both Korean and Chinese tended to prefer MS and HO, irrespective of oil content. Especially for Koreans, LSS was the least favorite sample in almost all preference questionnaires. For Chinese, preference scores for LSS and HSS were higher than for Koreans. On the other hand, oil content did not have much effect on consumer preference as compared with contents of soy sauce and sugar mixture.

To determine the optimal shelf life for maintaining the high quality of kohlrabi, the changes in the physiological and secondary metabolites of kohlrabi stems during storage were investigated. The results showed that the kohlrabi maintained its marketable quality for two weeks at room temperature and for two months in cold storage ($4^{\circ}C$). Interestingly, the total phenol and flavonoid contents sharply declined along with the quality deterioration after two-week storage at room temperature. Moreover, insignificant changes in these compounds were observed for two months during the cold storage. The secondary metabolites of the kohlrabi were also influenced by its storage condition. The total phenol and total flavonoid contents of the kohlrabi significantly increased with the storage periods at low temperature, and significantly decreased with the storage periods at room temperature. In terms of the packaging, no significant difference in the total phenol content of the kohlrabi was found between the packaged and non-packaged types of storage. However, the flavonoid content of the packaged kohlrabi was higher than that of the non-packaged kohlrabi at the end of their storage. The content of glucosinolates, an anti-cancer ingredient was maintained during the storage, so the vegetables remained good sources of these compounds when stored in cold storage even for a long period. This study showed a close correlation between the secondary metabolites and the change in the quality of kohlrabi during storage. The results also suggested that secondary metabolites such as phenolics can be considered quality indicators of the shelf life of kohlrabi.

The weight of domestic cigarette brands were examined by the three affecting factors, the standard leaf blending and the filling value of each leaf, the length of tobacco rod, and the apparent quality conditions. The calculated cigarette weight we obtained was 760mg, whereas the operation standard weight was established as 790mg ~820mg for the 60mm tobacco rod. In the case of the 64mm rod this value was estimated to be 820mg compared with the operation standard weight of 870mg ~ 900mg. For the 56mm rod it was calculated as 720mg being compared to the standard value of 770mg~ 780mg. These results means that the operation standard weight of the domestic brands can cut down by 5-9 per cent in weight.
