Imitation crab stick samples were made from Alaska pollack with protein recovered from spent laying hens breast meat (C), Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and cordyceps powder (T1), Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and silkworm cocoon powder (T2), and Alaska pollack with spent laying hens breast recovered protein and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (T3). There were no significant differences in moisture, crude protein and crude fat among the imitation crab samples. pH was significantly higher in T2 and T3 compared with C and T1 after 4 weeks of storage. The values of $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, and W (whiteness) in T3 were found to be more stable during storage and W in T3 was significantly higher than other samples. T3 was significantly lower in hardness, brittleness, gumminess and adhesiveness after 4 weeks of storage. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA) values decreased with storage, whereas volatile basic nitron (VBN) values increased with storage periods in all samples. In sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences in color, odor, taste, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability among the samples. T3 was significantly lowest in quality among the treated samples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities and sensory properties of sponge cake with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of sponge cake with different amount (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of CP were examined. As the increase in the amount of CP addition, the specific gravity and baking loss rate were increased, whereas the color of the cake crumb and crust, volume index and specific volume were decreased (p<0.05). The symmetry and uniformity index of the sponge cake were not affected by the addition of CP (5-15%) (p<0.05). The hardness was significantly increased while by CP addition cohesiveness was decreased (p<0.05). The springiness, gumminess and brittleness were not changed by CP addition (p<0.05). The total polyphenolic, DPPH radical scavenging activities and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, addition of CP significantly degraded the panel preference related to the color, flavor and texture of the sponge cake. However, the highest point were given to sponge cakes containg 5-10% of CP in taste and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 5% of CP is the optimal concentration overall for making sponge cake. However, the sponge cake with 10% of CP is recommended in order to maximize antioxidant activity, the sponge cake was the best when contained 5% CP and the sponge cake prepared with the addition of 10% CP was recommended to use due to its advantages in functional property.

The quality characteristics of yenipsambab prepared using various amounts of red, green, and black pigmented rice (0, 10, 20, and 30% added) were investigated. The pH of the cooked rice of yenipsambab decreased significantly as the amounts of pigmented rice increased. The Hunter's color L value decreased, but the b value increased with increasing amounts of pigmented rice. Moreover, the addition of 10-30% pigmented rice resulted in increased hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and brittleness compared to the control. Finally, the results of the sensory evaluation and acceptance test showed that the cooked rice containing 10-20% pigmented rice had the highest scores. This study will help in the development of new rice products that are good for the health.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mungbean starch gels that were prepared with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of peach seed powders (PSP), which exhibit antioxidant characteristics. Mungbean starch gel samples were prepared and subjected to quality characteristics such as moisture content, general components, color, texture profile analysis, total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory qualities. The L-value and the a-value for color decreased significantly, whereas the b-value increased significantly as the PSP concentration increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, the mungbean starch gel with 1.5% PSP showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness (p<0.05). The total polyphenol content was highest in the 1.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added, which also showed a higher than 70% DPPH radical scavenging activity level in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). In the sensory test of the mungbean starch gel, its sensory scores for flavor and taste were highest in the 0.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added.

The phase separation in Wood Flour-Polymer Composite (WPC) was investigated and the reasons for change in mechanical properties with the content of wood flour were explored. The wood flour-polypropylene composite samples with different wood flour contents were prepared. From differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of WPC samples, the trend of crystallinity and melting temperature ($T_m$) were analyzed. The crystallinity and melting temperature increased and then decreased as the content of wood flour increased. From these results, it was confirmed that at the low wood flour content the wood flours were dispersed into the polypropylene matrix but at the high wood flour content, the phase separation between polymer and wood flour phases appeared. The tensile strength of WPC samples was continuously decreased with the increase of wood flour content. At a low wood flour content, the low interfacial bonding and the decrease in crystallinity were the main reasons for the decrease in tensile strength with the increase of wood flour content. At a high wood flour content, the decrease in tensile strength resulted from the interfacial defects between the polymer and wood flour phases. The impact strength of the WPC sample showed the maximum behavior with the content of wood flour. At a low wood flour content, the impact strength was enhanced owing to the decrease in brittleness, which results from the decrease in crystallinity. At a high wood flour content, however, the impact strength decreased due to phase separation.

This study investigated the utilization of apricot as a coagulants for tofu manufacture, and compared the quality characteristics and shelf-life of tofu made by A2(2% apricot juice), A4(4% apricot juice), A6(6% apricot juice), A8(8% apricot juice) in comparison with those of C(G.DL). A2 tofu(323.00 g) showed the highest yield of tofu and the tofu yield decreased with increasing apricot juice content. In color, the lightness of tofu was decreased with increasing apricot juice content, while redness and yellowness were increased. The hardness of tofu coagulated with apricot juice was higher than that of the coagulated C(G.DL) and the springiness of A6 and A8 was higher than that of C(G.DL) while that of the other tofus was lower than C(G.DL). The brittleness of tofu was increased with increasing apricot juice content. The pH value of tofu coagulated with apricot juice was increased during storage at $0^{\circ}C$ and the acidity was decreased. Two percent apricot juice tofu had good overall preference.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ingredients(spices and medicinal plants) on the physicochemical properties of Pyunyuk a Korean style-cooked pork. Pyunyuk samples were prepared by the following 5 cooking conditions: Control(pork, water), A(pork, water, soy sauce), B(pork, water, soy sauce, onion, ginger), C(pork, water, soy sauce, onion, ginger, licorice, cinnamon) and D(pork, water, soy sauce, onion, ginger, licorice, cinnamon, clove and chestunt inner skin(CIS). The contents of ash, crude protein in loin and shank Pyunyuk were not significantly different among Pyunyuk samples, but crude fat content of C, D were significantly lower than control, A and B(p＜0.05). In Hunter’s color values of Pyunyuk, the lightness(L) was decreased by the addition of multiple ingredients, whereas the redness was increased. In mechanical characteristics, the hardness of control was the highest among the samples(p ＜0.05). In sensory evaluation, sample D obtained the highest score in flavor, taste, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and overall acceptability(p<0.05), and it was most preferred by the panels. There were higher negative-correlations between mechanical hardness and sensory characteristics of flavor, taste, cohesiveness, gumminess, brittleness and overall acceptability. From these results, it could be concluded that Pyunyuk ingredients(herbs and medicinal plants) reduce the content of crude fat, increase the tenderness and improve the flavor and taste of pork during cooking.

While poly(styrene)-based anion exchange membranes have the advantage like easy and simple manufacturing process, they also possess the disadvantage of poor durability due to their brittleness. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber was used here as an additive to make the membranes have improved flexibility and durability. For the preparation of the anion exchange membranes, a PP mesh substrate was immersed into monomer solutions with vinylbenzyl chloride, styrene, divinylbenzene and benzoyl peroxide, then thermally polymerized & crosslinked. The prepared membranes were subsequently post-aminated using trimethylamine to result in $-N+(CH_3)_3$ group-containing composite membranes. Various contents of vinylbenzyl chloride and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber were investigated to optimize the membrane properties and the prepared membranes were evaluated in terms of water content, ion exchange capacity and electric resistance. It was found that the optimized composite membranes showed higher IEC and lower electric resistance than a commercial anion exchange membrane(AMX) and have excellent flexibility and durability.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different saccharides on the quality of apricot sulgidduk. Appearance color of honey-added group as compared to other samples in apricot sulgidduk were preferable and scanning electron microscopy exhibited smaller pores. pH and acidity of white-added group immediately after preparation were higher than those of other groups. Higher moisture contents of honey-added groups during storage were found but total bacterial counts immediately before storage were 1 log cycle lower than that of other samples. The highest 'L' values were found for white sugar added group but the highest 'a' and 'b' were for yellow sugar-added sample. In mechanical characteristics of apricot sulgidduk for 48 hrs during storage at $20^{\circ}C$, hardness, gumminess and brittleness were higher in oligosaccharide-added sample as compared to other samples, while cohesiveness and springiness were the highest in honey-added group. In sensory evaluation of the sulgidduk, honey-added group obtained the highest score in color, sweet taste, moisture, after swallowing and overall quality (p<0.05) These results suggest that apricot sulgidduk with honey can be used as commercially successful rice cakes.
