This study was performed to investigate physicochemical and textural characteristics, and antimicrobial effect for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) in low-fat functional sausages (LFFS) containing sodium lactate (SL) and potassium lactate (PL) during storage at 4℃ for 10 weeks. The LFFS treatments included CTL (Low-fat sausage control), TRT1 (SL 3.3%), TRT2 (SL 2.2% + PL 1.1%), TRT3 (SL 1.1% + PL 2.2%), TRT4 (PL 3.3%). Proximate composition for LFFS were 73.9∼75.2% moisture, 1∼2% fat and 15.5∼15.9% protein, and pH values ranged from 5.8 to 6.5. Expressible moisture (EM, %) and vacuum purge (VP, %) ranged from 22.9 to 33.0 and from 2.7 to 5.3, respectively. EM of CTL, TRT1 and TRT2 increased with increased storage time, however, no differences in VP were observed during storage time. Hunter color values (L, a, b) were not affected by the addition of SL and PL, and storage time (p>0.05). Most textural properties of LFFS were not affected by the addition of SL and PL, except for few cases, but those of CTL tended to increase with increased storage time. The addition of SL and PL into LFFS, alone or in combination, inhibited the microbial growth of inoculated LM during refrigerated storage, resulting in longer shelf-life than the control.

Crosslinked potato starches (XP), from 2,400 to 1,900 anhydroglucose units per crosslinked (AGU/CL), were prepared by reacting with epichlorohydrin. Some of the physicochemical properties of the XPs were then compared with those of native potato and cowpea starches. Crosslinking decreased moisture, protein and ash contents but had no effect on phosphorus content. Water binding capacities of the XPs increased as the degree of crosslinking increased, and that of the XP with 2,100 AGU/CL approached the value of cowpea starch. The absorption maxima of the starch-iodine complex shifted from 594 to 580 nm. Granule size increased slightly and surface appearance of the granule became rough when crosslinked. Both native and crosslinked potato starches showed B type X-ray diffraction pattern, and the relative crystallinity was not affected by crosslinking. Gelatinization temperature and the heat of gelatinization, measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), did not change within the range of crosslinking tested. From X-ray and DSC data, it was concluded that the crosslinking ocurred in the amorphous region of the starch granule.

General composition and cholesterol contents of chicken 4 parts (breasts, thighs, legs without skin, and wings with skin) were analyzed. Fatty acids, amino acids, and mineral contents of breasts and thighs were also analyzed and compared with sirloin parts of beef and pork. Lipid contents of chicken parts (1.2% in breasts, 2.8% in thighs, and 14.9% in wings) were lower than those of beef and pork. Protein contents of chicken parts (22.9% in breasts, 19.7% in thighs, and 17.6% in wings) were higher than those of beef and pork. Cholesterol contents of chicken parts (99.0 mg% in wings, 80.8 mg% in thighs, and 56.7 mg% in breasts) were higher than those of beef and pork. However, saturated fatty acid contents of chicken (31.6~32.9%) was lower than those of beef (40.8%) and pork (42.7%). In the meanwhile, unsaturated fatty acid contents of chicken (67.1~68.4%) was higher than those of beef (59.2%) and pork (57.3%). Essential fatty acid contents of chicken (16.6~16.9%) were 1.6 times as high as that of pork (10.4%) and 5 times as high as that of beef (3.9%). Major amino acids composition were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and leucine. Ten essential amino acid contents were 11,860 mg% in breasts and 10,454 mg% in thighs, and the ratio of essential amino acids (41.7~44.1%) was similar to those of pork and beef. Mineral contents of chicken were similar to those of pork and beef despites of slight different mineral contents in thighs and breasts.

The purpose of this study was to determine the best ratio of tomato sauce with chili pepper powder. The investigation of food quality after preparing tomato sauce with chili pepper powder shall be as follows. Moisture was reduced when red chili pepper powder were added gradually, although protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrates were increased. pH values decreased as red chili pepper increased as organic acid was reduced. In case of colour, L-value and a-value were reduced, although b-value increased. Lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene increased by adding red chili pepper by virtue of the existence of carotenoid. Polyphenol, flavonoid, and DPPH radical also increased with the addition of red chili pepper as a result of red chili pepper's antioxidant property. In an attribute difference test, smoothness showed a low score when red pepper powder was added, but graininess returned a high score as red pepper powder absorbed moisture. The result of the sensory test for sauce, TC2 showed the best score in overall acceptance, while TC3 showed the best score for sauce with pasta in overall acceptance. Tomato sauce with 3% of red pepper powder was shown to have the most acceptable quality and should have powerful manufacture competitiveness.

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.

The physiological properties of water extracts from Hizikia fusiformis extracted using different extraction methods (water extraction, WE; autoclave extraction, AE; high pressure extraction, HPE) were investigated. The freeze-dried powder yields from HPE, AE and WE were 29.33, 27.84 and 23.63%, respectively. The $L^*$ and $b^*$ color values were higher in WE, while the $a^*$ color values were higher in WE and AE. The total sugar content of AE (60.14%) was higher than those of WE (47.10%), HPE (40.97%). The reducing sugar content (7.88%) and protein content (42.83%) of AE was higher than those of WE, and HPE. The uronic acid (5.04%), total free amino acid (785.19 mg/g), taurine (19.16 mg/g), aspartic acid (66.63 mg/g), asparagine (204.84 mg/g), alanine (188.87 mg/g) and ammonium chloride (243.91 mg/g) contents, however, were the highest in HPE. Additionally, the crude polysaccharide yield was higher in HPE (4.75%) than in AE and WE, and the crude saccharide (fucose, galactose, glucose, xylose and fucose) yields were higher in AE. It can be concluded that optimum conditions for the efficient extraction of Hizikia fusiformis depending on components are high pressure and a lower temperature than in the typical process.

To study the effects of plasticizer concentration and its ratio on the physical properties of silk fibroin films, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used at 4 different concentrations; 1, 2, 3, $4.5\%$ (w/v). Tensile strength (TS) and water vapor permeability (WVP) increased with the increase of PEG concentration, while opposite trend was observed for percent elongation of silk fibroin films. WVP of silk fibroin films increased from $2.54\;ng{\cdot}m/m^2spa$ for $1\%$ of PEG to $5.41\;ng{\cdot}m/m^2sPa$ for $4.5\%$. In addition, a mixture of PEG and glycerol (Gly) as a plasticizer was used at the ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 (w/w). Percent elongation of the films was improved to $130.95\%$ when the ratio of 75:25 was used. On the contrary, WVP of silk fibroin films increased with the decrease of the ratio of PEG:Gly. Effect of the plasticizer concentration and its ratio on the color of silk fibroin films was negligible. These results suggest that mixture of PEG and Gly as a plasticizer provide more flexible than PEG alone in silk fibroin films, and the best ratio of PEG to Gly was 75:25.

The effects of concentration and pH on the emulsifying and rheological properties of the pine nut's protein extract(PNPE) and carbohydrate extract(PNCE) were investigated. Emulsifying activity index(EAI) of sample containing PNPE was minimal at pH 4.0 and the alteration of pH from 4 to 3 or 8 increased EAI regardless of concentration. The most EAI(about 6.44 $m^2/g$ solid) significantly(p<0.05) observed in solution containing 1% PNPE at pH 8.0, but that of 3% PNPE(0.10 $m^2/g$ solid) was minimal at pH 4.0. The emulsion stability exhibited maximum value(about 20) in 3% PNPE emulsion at pH 8.0. However, EAI of samples containing PNCE increased gradually with the increase of pH, but it had lower value than that of samples containing PNPE. At pH 7.0 and 8.0, the rheological behavior of emulsion solutions showed Newtonian fluid(n=1, $r^2>0.99$) regardless of concentration in all samples containing PNPE, but the samples containing PNCE showed pseudoplastic behavior(n<1) in all conditions. The sample with the better emulsion stability index(ESI) significantly(p<0.05) exhibited the higher L, b, and ${\delta}E$, however, lower a value.

Recently it has been reported that vitamin A and retinol binding proteins (RBPs) in blood and urine were changed in the condition of diabetes mellitus or hyperlipidemia. Fruits and vegetables are recommended to consume for the people suffered from these chronic degenerative diseases. The main components of fruits and vegetables are dietary fibers, for example cellulose and pectin, of which function to affect the absorption and excretion of dietary fat and fat-soluble substances. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary fibers on RBPs mRNA expression in liver, small intestine and serum of rat fed high fat diet during 4 weeks. Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 121g on average, were divided into four groups; (Control; $17\%$ fat & cellulose supplement diet, HF0: $25\%$ fat & fiber free diet, B:.Uc: $25\%$ fat & cellulose supplement diet and HF0: $25\%$ fat & pectin supplement diet) . The rats fed high fat diet groups (HF0, HFC, HFP) tended to consume the food less than the control group, but FER of HF0 groups was significantly higher than the control (p < 0.05) . The weight of adrenal gland in high fat diet groups (HF0, HFC, HFP) was significantly less than the control. Total lipid in feces daily excreted and in liver did not show any significant differences among the groups. Total cholesterol in HFP group was significantly different from that of HFC group. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride in other group tended to lower than other groups and HDL cholesterol higher. Consequently, AI (atherogenic index) was the lowest in HFP group. Vit A contents in feces daily excreted tended to lower in high fat diet groups (HF0, HFP) compared to the control group. That content in adrenal gland was the lowest in HF0 group, but not in liver. In HFP group were down-regulated cRBPI mRNA in liver and cRBPII mRNA in small intestine and up-regulated RBP and transthyretin expression in serum compared to the other groups. In conclusion, dietary fibers, especially pectin, in high fat diet might down-regulate the expression of CRBP I, CRBP II mRNA in liver and small intestine, but increase the secretion of RBP into serum and therefore inhance the bioavailability of Vit A through the body.

Dietary Variety Score (DVS) or Nutrient Adequacy Ratio (NAR) offers a way of comparing eating habits across populations and across countries. This study compared nutrients intakes, food intakes, DVS, and NAR between Korean and US adults using the large national survey data. 4662 Korean adults (men: 2201, women: 2461) aged 20-49 years were selected from the 'Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey,2001' and 4199 US adults (men: 2127, women: 2072) aged 20-49 years were selected from the 'US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES IV,1999-2002)'. The total plant food intakes were high in Korean adults, but the total animal food intakes were high in US adults. Intakes of legumes and nuts, vegetables and mushrooms were higher in Korean than in US adults. On the other hand, intakes of meats, milk and dairy products of US adults were higher than Korean. Beverage intakes were 8 - 10 times higher in US adults than in Korean. The mean DVS of Korean men and women were higher than US men and women. Intakes of fat, calcium and vitamin $B\_{2}$ of US adults were 1.5 - 2 times higher than those of Korean, which could probably related to larger consumption by US adults on milk and dairy product. While the intakes of carbohydrate and vitamin C of the Korean were higher than the US adults, which could presumably related to higher grain and vegetable consumption. Percent energy intakes from carbohydrate, protein, and fat were $64.1\%$, $15.8\%$, and $20.1\%$ for Korean men, $52.4\%$, $15.0\%$, and $32.6\%$ for US men, $65.9\%$, $14.9\%$, $19.2\%$ for Korean women, and $52.1\%$, $14.7\%$, $33.2\%$ for US women respectively, which showed higher $\%$energy from carbohydrate in Korean and higher $\%$energy from fat in US adults. Most nutrient intakes except energy and vitamin C expressed as $\%$RDA were higher in US than in Korean adults. Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) of US men and Korean men were both 0.85, while the MAR was 0.81 for Korean women,0.79 for US women. The Korean women's diet showed more diverse and adequate than the US women's diet.
