When making a yellow layer cake, an existing chemical leavening agent, sourdough starter powder, was used instead of using baking powder in order to produce batter where the acid agent in the baking powder was reduced using baking soda. The control group had the lowest share of the batter and therefore had the highest specific volume. In a test group, the share of SP4 was low and therefore, the specific volume was high. In terms of physiochemical characteristics, the volume, symmetry and uniform index was high in SP4 in the test group. The control group had the highest moisture content followed by SP4. In terms of texture, the control group had the lowest hardness and highest springiness. In the test group, SP4 had the lowest hardness and highest springiness. The result of the sensory evaluation indicates that SP4 had the best taste and flavor. In terms of overall preference, SP4 showed significantly higher preference overall. However, it did not show any significant difference compared to the control group.

The gamma irradiation effect of dried fernbraken was investigated on the physical and sensory qualities during and after soaking process. Dried fernbraken packaged in vacuum was irradiated up to 7 kGy with v-ray produced by 132 Cs at 0℃. Moisture content and rehydration rate of gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking increased significantly depending on the irradiation doses(p<0.05). Lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) values of Hunter color system increased significantly in the gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking, compared with control, while the hardness and chewiness by the texture analyser decreased significantly in irradiated ones. Sensory evaluation results showed that the mean scores of flavor, appearance, taste, texture and over-all acceptability in soaked fernbraken irradiated were not significantly different from those in control, except higher preference score of texture in irradiated ones. From these results, it might be concluded that the irradiation does not affect the physical and sensory qualities of dried fernbraken during and after soaking, especially in texture.

This study tested the development of bechamel sauce with different ratios of soy milk to milk(0:4, 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, 4:0) to examine changes in quality characteristics. Proximate composition analysis showed a decrease in salinity with increasing amounts of soy milk, while the moisture content and, density increases. The highest pH values were found for a 1:1 ratio of soy milk to milk (S2) and the lowest pH values were found for a 0:4 ratio of soy milk to milk (CON). The L-value decreased, while a and b values increased with increasing amounts of soy milk. In the stability test, segregation occurred in CON after 5 days, while the highest segregation occurred at a 4:0 ratio of soy milk to milk (S4). The sensory evaluation results showed that the color, thickness, savory flavor, and savory taste increased with increasing amounts of soy milk. In the acceptance test, a 1:3 ratio of soy milk to milk (S1) and a 1:1 ratio of soy milk to milk (S2) had the highest acceptance scores (p<0.001) for appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptance.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum storage time of flounder and seabream for the preparation of flatfish and sushi. With increasing storage time(0-6 hours) at 4$^{\circ}C$, the moisture, -and fat contents of flounder and seabream flatfish decreased while the total number of bacteria increased. Eicosapentaenoic acid and palmitic acid had the highest content in the flatfish fatty acid composition. The pH of flounder and seabream flatfish both decreased at 4 and 3 hours, respectively, and then increased. With increasing storage time, the hardness and cohesiveness decreased, while the springiness, gumminess,-and chewiness initially increased but then decreased. The rigor mortis increased with increasing storage time and the K values of flounder and seabream flatfish both increased at 4 and 3 hours, respectively, and then decreased, whereas ATP contents decreased and then increased. In the sensory evaluation of sushi, the flounder sushi with flatfish stored for 4 hours and the seabream sushi with flatfish stored for 3 hours were found to be the best making condition.

This study tried to investigate the best mixing ratio by reviewing the quality characteristics such as moisture content, chromaticity and texture, and sensory characteristics of Seolgidduk made of different ratios of persimmon extracts. A and b color values appeared to increase and L value (lightness) to decrease according to the increase of persimmon extracts ratio. In the case of texture, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness increased according to the increase of added amount of dried persimmon extracts. The inside section of Seolgidduk was investigated through scanning electron microphotograph, and the $15\%$ of dried persimmon extracts had the smallest and uniform air cells. Seolgidduk with $15\%$ persimmon extracts showed the highest color, flavor and chewiness scores of 3.85, 3.65, and 3.80 from sensory evaluation, respectively. The moistness displayed significant differences according to the increment of the extract Seolgidduk with $15\%$ persimmon extracts displayed the highest overall acceptability of 3.95, while that of the control 3.10. From the above results, $15\%$ mixing ratio of dried persimmons extracts seems to be the most desirable for making Seolgidduk.

The effects of the water extract of beef shank bones on the physical and sensory characteristics of cooked rice for JeonJu Bibimbap were investigated. Five kinds of cooked rice were prepared with 0%(control), 20%, 40%, 60%, and 100% of the beef shank bones extract. An increase in the beef shank bones extract concentration was associated with a lower moisture content of the cooked rice. The color(L, b value) of the cooked rice prepared with the beef shank bones extract became gradually darker during storage at $60^{\circ}C$. In regards to the textural properties of the cooked rice, the hardness increased with the addition of the beef shank bones extract and chewiness was changed in a similar pattern to that of hardness. However, the adhesiveness significantly decreased. In the sensory evaluation, the cooked rice prepared with 20 and 40% of the beef shank bones extract had the best sensory quality for JeonJu Bibimbap.
