This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten (OFIS) powder addition replacing nitrite on quality characteristics of sausages stored at $4^{\circ}C$ during 15 days. All samples were divided into six different treatments as follow: C (non-sodium nitrite and -O. ficus-indica var. saboten powder), T1 (0.014% sodium nitrite), T2 (0.014% sodium nitrite + 0.5% O. ficus-indica var. saboten powder), T3 (0.014% sodium nitrite + 1.0% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder), T4 (0.5% O. ficus-indica var. saboten powder) and T5 (1.0% O. ficus-indica var. saboten powder), respectively. The lightness (CIE $L^*$) of negative control (C) was higher than other treatments (p<0.05), and the redness (CIE $a^*$) of T5 treatment showed an intermediate value between T1 and T3 treatment. Yellowness (CIE $b^*$), water holding capacity (WHC) and cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness of T5 treatment were higher than other treatments (p<0.05). However moisture content, pH and whiteness of T1 treatment were the highest (p<0.05). No differences in sensory evaluation were observed between T1 and T5 treatment (p>0.05). Therefore, the results indicate that OFIS powder improves color and texture properties of sausage, however, specific study related to self-life due to the addition of OFIS powder to sausages may be conducted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of macaron with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of macaron with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of CP were examined. The quality of macarons was evaluated based on spread factor, baking loss rate, color, texture, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation. As amount of CP addition increased, spread factor, baking loss rate, and L and a values decreased, whereas b value increased (p<0.05). For texture properties, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness were increased by addition of CP (p<0.05). The gumminess and brittleness did not show significant changes up to 3% CP addition although significant changes in 5-7% CP addition (p<0.05) were evident. The total polyphenolic contents, DPPH radical scavenging activities, and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the consumer acceptance of macarons, 3% CP showed the highest in color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptance and 5% CP showed the highest in taste. Meanwhile, macaron containing 7% CP showed the lowest scores in texture and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 3% of CP was the optimal concentration for making macaron.

The pork loin used in this study was obtained from carcass chilled for 24 hours after slaughter and divided into 2 pare. The first part was air packaged and the other part was vacuum packaged, both of which were chilled at $4^{\circ}C$. After 2 days of slaughter, the qualities of air packaged loin chilled for 1 day showed lower drip lose, higher water holding capacity and better sensory texture than the vacuum packaged port (p<0.05). On the other hand, the air packaged loin chilled for 2 days showed lower drip loss and shear force value(SFV), higher Hunter's $a^*$ value, higher amount of taurine and alanine, and better taste, texture, juiciness and palatability than the vacuum packaged pork (p<0.05). However, the air packaged loin chilled for 3 days showed lower hip loss, chewiness SFV, higher amount of VBN $(12.37\;mg\%)$ and total plate count $(2.6\times10^4\;CFU/cm^2)$ than the vacuum packaged pork chilled for the same day (p<0.05). for the same chilling period, there was not significant difference between air and vacuum packaged pork in pH, TBA value, $L^*$ value, $b^*$ value, cooking loss, hardness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess, total free amino acid contents and cooked meat aroma (p>0.05). Considering all these results, it is recommended that the way of air packaging for the pork with a short storing period should be reconsidered to cut down expenses.

This study was intended to investigate physical characteristics of the bread with Laminaria powder. Three different powder concentration levels of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% were added to flour to make the bread. The puffing rate, density, color, and texture were analyzed. Sensory evaluation was performed among female college students and housewives in their 50s. The volume of the dough during the fermentation and the final volume of the bread containing Laminaria powder was smaller than that of the dough without the powder. While adding the powder to the bread decreased the Hunter L (lightness) and a value (redness), it increased the b value (yellowness). In the texture analyzer measurement, hardness and fracturability of the bread were significantly increased by adding the powder and chewiness tended to increase. However, adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness were not significantly different among groups. As the result of the sensory evaluation, differences were observed between female college students and housewives in their 50s. In all indices of the sensory test, college students evaluated the bread with the powder lower than the bread without the powder, while the housewives preferred the bread with the powder. The bread containing 2.5% Laminaria powder obtained the most excellent scores. In conclusion, it is suggested that the bread with 2.5% Laminaria powder would be a highly acceptable bio-active product with proper physical characteristics.

Seven domestic wheat cultivars, Suwon 261, Suwon 265, Eunpa, Kobun, Alchan, Olgru, and Kumgang, and a standard wheat, ASW(Australian Standard White Wheat), were compared in noodle-making properties. The ash contents of domestic wheats and flours were 0.1-0.3% higher than that of ASW. Therefore, domestic wheats required the control of ash contents during milling process. The protein contents which suggest the flour gluten content were 10.32, 11.3, and 9.57% in Suwon 261, Suwon 265, and Kumgang cultivars, respectively. Valorimeter values of Eunpa, Olgru, and Kumgang which indicate the dough formation time and stability were similar to that of ASW. Resistance rate of domestic wheats was lower than that of ASW. Maximum viscosity in Amylograph for Eunpa, Olgru, and Kumgang were in the range of 500-800BU, which were suitable for making noodles. Increase in weight and volume of Olgru noodle was negatively correlated with protein content. Turbidity was not positively correlated with weight and volume increase, but domestic cultivars except Suwon 265 and Eunpa showed a similar turbidity with ASW. The mechanical properties of wet and dry noodles were evaluated by TPA test before and after cooking. Springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles increased by cooking, and the domestic cultivars showed higher values than ASW. Springiness and cohesiveness of dry noodle were not increased by cooking in any cultivars. Gumminess, chewiness and hardness of domestic wheat cultivars showed higher values than that of ASW. In the tensile test, wet noodles showed no difference between domestic cultivars and ASW. But dry noodles of domestic wheat cultivars showed higher values than ASW. In the color test for lightness, redness and yellowness, there were no differences between flour and dough of domestic wheat cultivars and ASW. In the sensory evaluation, Kumgang wheat cultivar was the most preferred among the wet and dry noodles of other domestic wheat cultivars and ASW. These results suggested Kumgang wheat cultivar to be a practical wheat variety for noodle-making.

Low-viscosity alkoxysilanes that polymerize into the porous network of decayed stone by a sol-gel process are widely used as stone consolidants. During drying, the gel network contracts due to capillary pressure generated by solvent evaporation. We have prepared tetraethoxysilane mixed solution containing methyltrisilane, ethyl trisilane and (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane having epoxy ring in order to reduce the shrinkage happened inside the stone porous structure during the gel formation. Mixed solutions were applied into sandstone and granites and characterized by FT-IR, SEM. The gelation time, water uptake, contact angles were measured and compared with those of the commercial stone conservation materials.

In this study, we investigated the effect of water, extract of Terminalia Chebula (TC) on physiological activity in mice. TC water extract showed hemagglutination against several different types of red blood cells. $LD_{50}$ of TC extract was 390 mg/kg (po). Treatment of TC water extract orally administered 200, 300 mg/kg daily for one week. Hepatic cytosolic enzymes, xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase activities were significantly increased comparison with normal group. Treatment of TC water extract increased hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, and reduced glutathione content. We also found that the decreased activities of glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase but was not affected activities of $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase after treatment of TC water extract. These results suggested that increase of the hepatic lipid peroxide is caused by glutathione reduction.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties of white pan bread with red wine (RW). RW was substituted for water at four levels (0, 19, 38 and 63%). For bread crumb color, lightness decreased with increasing levels of RW, whereas redness and yellowness increased (p<0.05), in proportion to RW levels. Compared to control bread, specific volume of breads added with RW was decreased. The degree of dough raising power decreased significantly depending on the amounts of RW. The hardness of control bread was $87.35g/cm^2$ while the hardness of breads with RW ranged from 85.37 to $94.19g/cm^2$. Hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of breads added with RW showed higher scores than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the highest flavor and taste preference scores were observed in bread containing 38% RW, whereas the lowest score was observed in bread with 63% RW. Accordingly, the quality of bread can be improved by addition of 38% RW substituted for water.
