This study was conducted for the optimization of ingredients in salad dressing using Bokbunja (Rubus coreanum Miquel) juice. The experiment was designed according to the D-optimal design of mixture design, which included 14 experimental points with 4 replicates for three independent variables (Bokbunja juice $15.70\sim47.10%$, oil $23.50\sim39.20%$, vinegar $3.90\sim19.60%$). The compositional and functional properties of the prepared products were measured, and these values were applied to the mathematical models. A canonical form and trace plot showed the influence of each variable on the quality attribute of final mixture product. By the use of F-test, viscosity, color values (L, a, and b), emulsion stability and sensory characteristics (color) were expressed by a linear model, while the color values (L) and sensory characteristics (smell, taste, and overall acceptance) were by a quadratic model. The optimum formulations by numerical and graphical method were analogous: Bokbunja juice, oil and vinegar of 36.02%, 26.48%, and 12.00% by numerical method, respectively; those of 36.00%, 26.44%, and 12.06% by graphical method, respectively.

In this study, we investigated the possibility of Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for detection of foodborne pathogens. ddPCR combines partitioning of PCR reactions into several thousands or millions of individual droplets in a water-oil emulsion, and counting of positive PCR reaction using flow cytometry. Four species of foodborne pathogens, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7, were used to quantify the target sequence with each of the designed primers and double stranded DNA-binding Evagreen dye. All tested foodborne pathogens showed a detection limit ranging from $100fg/{\mu}L$ to $10ng/{\mu}L$. It was concluded that ddPCR could be used to detect very low concentrations of foodborne pathogens from complex food matrices. For multi-detection of target pathogens, we also tested the samples using multiplex ddPCR and obtained successful results.

Roasting process of grains modifies their physicochemical characteristics that affect flavor, color, taste, and textures, as well as composition of bioactive compounds. We roasted oats at different temperatures (150, 200, and $250^{\circ}C$) and for different time periods (15 and 30 min). The polyphenol and flavonoid contents in different solvent extracts (methanol, fermented ethanol, and water) were also investigated. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were highest in the methanolic extract (135 mg gallic acid equivalent/g and 29 mg catechin equivalent/g, respectively, at $250^{\circ}C/30min$ roasting) and increased with roasting time and temperature. In addition, the avenanthramides were most abundant as accessed ($266{\mu}g/g$) in the methanolic extract upon roasting at $200^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The radical scavenging activities, using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid scavenging, increased with roasting temperature and time. The roasting process may modify the physicochemical structure of oats, thereby, improving polyphenol extraction and antioxidant activity. The results of this study could be used for the manufacture of foods using roasted oats.

In this study, development of the pine needle flavor oils and their application to foods, especially to traditional Korean foods, were investigated. The pine needle flavor oils were prepared by the autoclaving method, and their volatile flavor components(VFCs) were determined by capillary gas chromatographic method The major flavor components of the pine noddle flavor oil were a -pinene 31.1%, pentane 9.8%, tricyclene 7.5%, camphene 6.8%, hexanal 6.2%, propane 6.0%, ${\beta}$-pinene 5.6%, limonene 3.9%. The acceptability of the pine needle flavor oils, sensory evaluation including a preference test and quantitative descriptive analysis(QDA), of the pine needle flavor oil, a sesame oil, and a blended oil (pine needle flavor oil : sesame oil 50 : 50 v/v) was carried out. The blended oil and sesame oil showed much higher preference scores than the pine needle flavor oil, and blended oil was almost as acceptable as sesame oil(P ＜ 0.05). The results seem to indicate that blended oil can be used as a unique substitution for sesame oil in some foods, especially in some traditional Koran food.

Different amounts of powder and concentrate (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) of Prunus mume were added to bread and the quality characteristics were evaluated. Mixed flour with powder (PP) and concentrate (CP) of Prunus mume showed a lower gelatinization temperature and higher maximum viscosity than control. As the proportion of PP and CP in making bread were increased, lower specific loaf volume, and higher hardness were revealed. Sample with 0.5% CP and control showed the highest specific loaf volume, and was 5.4. Treatment with 2.0% PP was $1,060,617\;dyne/cm^2$ in hardness, and was about 5 times higher than control. The L (lightness) value of samples with PP and CP was lower than control. Sample with 0.5% CP showed the highest score in color and taste, and samples with 0.5% PP, 0.5% CP and control was not significantly different in sensory evaluation. Based on loaf volume, hardness, color value and the sensory evaluation, treatment above 1.0% PP and CP is undesirable in making bread.

Conventional white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for lighting applications consist of blue LEDs and yellow phosphors, the spectrum of which lacks deep red. To improve the color-rendering characteristics of white LEDs, a red quantum-dot film was applied to the diffuser plate of LED lighting. The mean free paths of the quantum dots and the concentration of the TiO₂ particles in the diffuser plate were adjusted to optimize the optical structure of the lighting. The color-rendering index (CRI) was greater than 90 for most conditions, which demonstrates that adoption of the red quantum-dot film is an effective way for improving the color-rendering properties of conventional white LEDs. The angular dispersion of color coordinates could be removed by utilizing the optical cavity formed between the diffuser plate and the reflector on the bottom of the lighting, where multiple passages of the light through the quantum-dot film reduced the differences in optical path length depending on the viewing angle.
