The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratios of three different ingredients of Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder, butter, and sugar for the development of recipe for cookies with Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder. Response surface methodology based on a five level and three variables by central composite design was employed to obtain the best possible combination for the ratios of Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder ($X_1$), butter ($X_2$), and sugar ($X_3$). The analytical results of the physical and mechanical properties for each sample including color L (P<0.01), color a (P<0.01), color b (P<0.01), spread ratio (P<0.001), and hardness (P<0.001) showed significant differences. The sensory measurements were significantly different in color (P<0.05), appearance (P<0.05), texture (P<0.001), flavor (P<0.01), taste (P<0.01), and overall quality (P<0.001). The optimal compositional ratios were determined to be 4.00 g for the Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder, 75.42 g for the butter, and 45.67 g for the sugar.

The effects of dipping syrups prepared with isomaltooligosaccharides on the characteristics of Yackwa were investigated. The dipping syrups were prepared replacing sucrose with 0, 25 and 50% isomaltooligosaccharide. Physical and sensory characteristics of Yackwa were evaluated. Isomaltooligosaccharides increased dehydration rate and increased absorption rate of dipping syrups. Yackwas dipping in the syrup containing isomaltooligosaccharides were more acceptable than those with sucrose syrup. The acceptability was significantly correlated with shinness(p<.01), moistness(p<.05), adhesiveness(p<.05), cohesiveness(p<.01), roasted taste(p<.0l) and sweetness(p<.05). Therefore, isomaltooligosaccharides might be a good alternative for sucrose in making dipping syrup of Yackwa.

The effects of dipping syrups prepared with oligosaccharides on Yackwa were examined. The dipping syrups were prepared by replacing sucrose with 50% isomaltooligosaccharide or fructooligosaccharide, and the physical and sensory characteristics of Yackwa dipped in above syrups were evaluated. Addition of oligosaccharides to dipping syrups increased the reducing sugar contents, dehydration rate and absorption rate of Yackwa. The exterior color of Yackwa dipped in oligosaccharides-containing syrup was darker, more reddish and yellowish than control. Use of oligosaccharides in dipping syrup increased the darkness, gloss, moistness and sweetness, and decreased the roasted taste of Yackwa as perceived by panels. Yackwa dipped in the syrups replacing sucrose with 50% oligosaccharides showed better acceptability than control. The acceptability was positively correlated with the gloss and cohesiveness. Above results suggested that oligosaccharides are good alternatives for sucrose in making dipping syrup for Yackwa.

The objective of this study was to develop a healthy Sulgidduk, a kind of rice cake, added with Portulaca oleracea L.. The effects of P. oleracea L. paste (0% 1%, 3%, or 5%) on the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk were evaluated. As the concentration of P. oleracea L. paste increased, pH decreased and acidity increased. The reducing sugar contents (%) increased with the amount of P. oleracea L. paste. The Hunter a and b values of Sulgidduk increased with an increase in P. oleracea L. paste concentration, whereas L value decreased. DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD like activity of P. oleracea L. Sulgidduk increased with increasing P. oleracea L. paste contents. The sensory results show that overall preference of Sulgidduk with a P. oleracea L paste content of 3% was higher than those of other treatments.

This study investigates mineral contents and sensory properties of commercial bottled water in Korea. The contents of calcium and magnesium in the samples were determined 3.399-85.470 and 2.619-27.390 mg/L, respectively. The mineral contents of bottled water samples met the code of regulations for drinking water, for the hardness was determined 19.2-326 mg/L and the pH was measured as 6.31-7.74. As the sensory characteristics of bottled water samples were evaluated by 5-point hedonic scale, the samples which were below 100 mg/L of hardness had high acceptability. The acceptability was positively correlated with freshness (r=0.706) and sweetness (r=0.253), having a negative correlation with metallic taste (r=-0.402) and astringency (r=-0.234) (p<0.05). On the other hand, calcium content had a negative correlation with acceptability and freshness (p<0.05). The pH of the bottled water represented a negative correlation with acceptability and freshness, so the good acceptability and freshness were shown in the low pH, positively correlated with the intensity of metallic taste (p<0.05).

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing conditions of two different amounts of purple barley flour ($X_1$), and olive oil ($X_2$) in baking white pan bread. The experiment was designed according to the central composite design of response surface methodology, which showed 10 experimental points including 2 replicates. The more purple barley flour added, the more weight, yellowness (b-value), hardness, gumminess, and chewiness increased; but the more volume, specific loaf volume, lightness (L-value), and springiness decreased. The greater the amount of olive oil added, the more hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness increased; but the more yellowness (b-value) and springiness decreased. The physical and mechanical properties were affected more by the amount of purple barley flour than by the amount of olive oil. Sensory properties except flavor were more affected by the amount of purple barley flour than by the amount of olive oil.

The roasting condition and organoleptic characteristics in Cassia tora tea were investigated. Intact Cassia tora seeds were composed of water 11.6%, crude protein 13.1%, crude fat 4.4%, crude fiber 13.8%, N-free extract 47.2% and ash 4.9%. Organoleptic qualities in Cassia tora tea were sweetness, astringency, tartness, bitterness, roasted coffee like, roasted barley like and burnt smell. Organoleptic qualities were investigated by descriptive analysis method, too. Overall acceptability was increased by roasting but it was low because of formation of bitterness and burnt smell at excessive roasting conditions. Sweetness was the most important factor in organoleptic quality of Cassia tora seeds and the optimum condition for the best quality was $210^{\circ}C$, 20 minutes.

This study was conducted to develop low-sodium Korean food recipes and evaluate consumer acceptability of low-sodium Korean food. A total of 137 consumers assessed the overall acceptability based on a 9-point scale. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS package program (ver 20.0). The results of this study are summarized as follows: According to the results of the consumer preference evaluation of low-sodium Korean food, overall acceptability of all menus was over five out of nine points (overall average 6.25). Overall acceptability was highest for grilled beef ribs (7.88), followed by bulgogi (7.63), sauteed dry anchovy (7.46), and simmered beef in soy sauce (7.45). On the other hand, overall acceptability was lowest in blanched and seasoned spinach (5.04). According to the results of Pearson's correlation analysis, overall acceptability was positively related with menu preference of 27 menus, including seasoned and simmered chicken (P<0.001), fiddledhead namul (P<0.001), and grazed lotus roots and burdock (P<0.001). To sum up, overall acceptability of all items used in the consumer preference evaluation was more than five points out of nine. Therefore, low-sodium recipe for Korean food can be effectively applied in commercial or non-commercial foodservice cafeterias.

Transglutaminase (TGase), which forms linkages among proteins, has been used to improve food quality. In the current study, quality characteristics such as color values, texture profile parameters, and sensory profiles of the frozen surichwi (Synurus deltoids) rice cake made using transglutaminase (TGase) treated-rice flour were investigated, with a view to producing high-value rice products. The results indicate that Hunter color values (L and b) and TPA parameter values (hardness, gumminess and chewiness) of frozen surichwi rice cake made with TGase-treated rice flour were significantly changed, and that these properties may be applied to improve the sensory qualities of final products. Also, the sensory acceptability scores related to color, appearance, taste and texture, as well as overall acceptability of the TGase-treated frozen surichwi rice cake, were found to be significantly higher compared to controls. In conclusion, the results clearly indicate that TGase-treated rice flour carries the potential to improve the overall quality of frozen rice cake, and that surichwi is an effective ingredient for sensory profiles.
