The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with dropwort powder(0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%) for flour. The bulk density of cookie dough of groups with dropwort powder shows significantly differences when compared to the control group. The pH of cookie dough and cookies were decreased by addition of dropwort powder. The moisture content of the groups with dropwort powder was higher than that of the control group. The weight and width of the groups with dropwort powder was lower than those of the control group. The spread ratio of the groups with dropwort powder was lower but the loss rate of cookies was higher than those of the control group. In color, the L, a, and b value was decreased significantly by addition of dropwort powder. The hardness of the groups with 2% and 4% dropwort powder was higher than that of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 20.62%, whereas the groups with dropwort powder ranged from 32.11~65.10%. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 2% and 4% of dropwort powder did not show any significantly differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, using less than 4% of the dropwort powder would be proper to make cookies.

This study investigates perilla seed powder substituted for wheat flour in bread recipes with the amounts of 0%(control), 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Perilla seed powder consists of 9.41% of moisture content, 9.14% of crude protein, 1.12% of crude fat, and 2.97% of crude ash. Sedimentation value and pelshenke value have decreased as the perilla content increased. The farinograph measurement result of the bread made with perilla seed powder showed that consistency, water absorption and tolerance index have increased as the perilla content increased. The amylograph measurement result of the bread made with perilla seed powder showed that T, P, H, F, P-H and F-H have decreased as the perilla content increased. Baking loss and specific loaf volume have decreased as the perilla content increased. The chromatic 'L' and 'b' values were reduced as more perilla was added to more pan bread, while the chromatic 'a' value increased. The texture measurement result showed that the hardness of bread have increased as the ingredient contents increased. Their cohesiveness, spinginess, and chewiness have decreased as the ingredient contents increased. Overall preference scores showed a high preference for the bread made with 15% perilla seed powder.

In this paper, we propose an efficient face region detection technique for the content-based video summarization. To segment video, shot changes are detected from a video sequence and key frames are selected from the shots. We select one frame that has the least difference between neighboring frames in each shot. The proposed face detection algorithm detects face region from selected key frames. And then, we provide user with summarized frames included face region that has an important meaning in dramas or movies. Using Bayes classification rule and statistical characteristic of the skin pixels, face regions are detected in the frames. After skin detection, we adopt the projection method to segment an image(frame) into face region and non-face region. The segmented regions are candidates of the face object and they include many false detected regions. So, we design a classifier to minimize false lesion using CART. From SGLD matrices, we extract the textual feature values such as Inertial, Inverse Difference, and Correlation. As a result of our experiment, proposed face detection algorithm shows a good performance for the key frames with a complex and variant background. And our system provides key frames included the face region for user as video summarized information.

This study was carried out to investigate the offsets of pyroligneous acid on the growth of ‘Penncross’Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) and to propose the practical use for ecologically responsive management in Korean golf courses. In the plots affected by 300, 500, and 800 times diluted pyroligneous acid, the turfgrass growth increment and the visual quality were measured at fixed periods. The data were subjected to paired samples T-test. The results summarized are as follows； 1) In leaf growth increment, density, and root spread depth, turfgrass affected by 500 and 800 times diluted pyroligneous acid were superior to the control continually. It was reliable in the statistics. Especially, 500 times diluted solutions was superior to the others. 2) In color, texture, uniformity, and recuperative strength, the visual quality of turfgrass affected by 500 and 800 times diluted pyroligneous acid were superior to the control continually. It was reliable in the statistics except the recuperative strength. Espe-cially, 500 times diluted solutions tended to be superior to the others. 3) There was no symptom of a disease in all plots. The existing management was thought to be suitable in this golf course. 500 and 800 times diluted pyroligneous acid were not thought to trigger or promote a disease, 4) After investigating the effect of pyroligneous acid on turfgrass growth, the soils of all plots were analyzed. In all plots, the chemical properties of the soils were not changed obviously. 5) Considering the results mentioned above, the practical use of 500 and 800 times diluted solutions might decrease the amount of nutrients and agricultural chemicals used in golf courses as well as promote turfgrass growth in golf courses.

Kimchi was fermented in permeability-controlled polyethylene containers, in glazed onggi (Korean ethnic earthenware) or glass bottles at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. During 4 weeks of storage, kimchi fermented in the permeability-controlled container showed a stable fermentation pattern, in terms of changes in pH and acidity, compared with kimchi fermented in the other containers. With respect to changes in bacterial counts, kimchi fermented in polyethylene containers showed vigorous multiplication of lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactobacillus sp., but slow growth of total aerobic bacteria. The springiness of kimchi fermented in the polyethylene containers was optimal (about 10% more than that of glass bottle-fermented kimchi), and the overall acceptability and hardness of container-fermented kimchi were excellent upon sensory evaluation. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity of kimchi fermented in polyethylene containers was also greater (91%) than that of kimchi fermented in glazed onggi (73%) or glass bottles (63%). The $O_2$ and $CO_2$ permeabilities of the polyethylene containers were higher (458 and $357\;mmol\;h^{-1}\;m^{-2}\;atm^{-1}$, respectively) than were those of the other containers; the permeability ratio was 0.8. Glass bottles showed no permeance. The results indicate that permeability-controlled polyethylene containers may be used for kimchi fermentation.

To evaluate peanut sprouts as a functional food material, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of soybean yoghurt with different percentages (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0%) of peanut sprout powder (PSP) contents were investigated. The pH of soybean yogurt with PSP decreased in a time- and dose-dependent manner during fermentation, whereas the titratable acidity increased under the same conditions. The Hunter L value (lightness) decreased while the b value (yellowness) and a value (redness) increased as the PSP concentration in soybean yogurt increased. Prior to fermentation, the sugar content of the soybean yogurt increased as the PSP level increased, but the contents decreased as fermentation progressed. Meanwhile, the viscosity of the soybean yogurt increased during fermentation, and the lactic acid bacteria population was higher than that of the control. The sensory properties, including the flavor, color, taste, and overall acceptability, of the soybean yogurt containing 0.5 and 1% PSP, respectively, were higher than those of other tested yoghurts (with 0, 2.0, and 3.0% PSP contents). The antioxidant activity of the soybean yogurt significantly increased at the PSP concentrations of over 1.0%. These results suggest that the addition of PSP has beneficial effects on the quality and functionality of soybean yogurt, and that the addition of 1.0% PSP is the most suitable for manufacturing soybean yogurt.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies added with the powder of pomace powder, which was produced as a by-product in Korean rice wine (Takju). The quality of cookies was evaluated based on moisture content, color, hardness, and sensory evaluation. Cookies were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15% Takju pomace powders to basic flour formulation. The pH values of dough added with Takju pomace powder were 3.04-6.52, which was lower than that of the control group. The moisture contents of cookies were 6.92-6.52% and were lowest in cookies added with 15% Takju pomace powder. The L value was reduced according to the increase in Takju pomace powder. On the contrary, a value increased. Especially, a value of the control was negative (-0.96) while those of cookies added with Takju pomace powder were positive. There were no significant differences in the b value of these cookies. For texture, hardness of cookies was lowest in 15% Takju pomace powder cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation compared to cookies with 10% powder Takju pomace were superior in appearance, taste and overall preference.

Relationship among the properties of rice, such as amylose contents of endosperm starch, sugar content and amylogram characteristics, and processing properties for rice bread was studied. The amylose content of the rice cultivars decreased in order of Nampungbyeo, Whachungbyeo>Punchilmi(fl)>Nampung CB243> Whachung du-I, Nampung EM90>Whachung-chalbyeo>shr. Protein contents of rice tested in this study were almost same level, however, shr, the high sugar rice, showed the highest protein content scored as 8.2%. The study showed that the amylose contents of rice cultivars were negatively correlated with their protein contents. The starting temperatures for gelatinization of the flour of Punchilmi(fl) and Shurunken(shr) were low, however, in case of Whachungbyeo and Nampungbyeo plus their mutants derived from the both, the stickiness and the hardness of the flours were shown to be positively correlated with the amylose contents. In addition, loaf volume tested using sensory evaluation and overall quality showed the same tendency. Among the rice cultivars tested in this study, breads made from white rice had good qualities in bread making process than those made from brown rice. The bread made from Nampungbyeo was demonstrated to have highest score e in overall quality, as well as the lowest retrogradation index during storage at $4^{\circ}C$

Effects of different processes or texture of cucumber pickles fermented in 7% NaCl solution were studied. Cucumbers were treated with different processes: control; preheating in 7% NaCl, 0.04M $CaCl_2$ solution ($60^{\circ}C$, 1hr); combination of preheating and post microwave heating (5 min, midium high level, 2450 Mhz); preheating in the solution which was adjusted to pH 8.5. In each process the pH and total acidity of brine solution, total pectin contents in alcohol insoluble solids (AIS), hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) contents and firmness of cucumber pickles were determined at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 days of storage periods. Total pectin contents and the firmness of pickles were decreased during 25 days of storage. Control group showed the lowest value and post microwave heating group marked the highest value in total pectin contents and firmness retention of cucumber pickles. The results of this study indicated that total pectin content seems to correlate with the firmness of cucumber pickles. However, HWSP content did not show any correlation with firmness of cucumber pickles. Post microwave heating method could be used to retain firmness of fermented cucumber pickles.
