Alkaline cooking and processing properties of domestic maize were evaluated by comparing to those of imported control maize(Asgrow 404). Domestric maize varieties were hydrated more rapidly and had lower dry matter losses during alkaline cooking than control maize due to softer endosperm texture and incomplete removal of pericarps. Domestic maize varieties produced masas with proper handling properties when nixtamals had 50~52% moisture. However, masas produced from domestic maizes were puffed dur-ing baking and frying process due to the release of more free starch granules in the masa than control masa. Tortilla chips prepared from domestic maizes absorbed more oil during frying and had slightly higher water content with darker color than tortilla chips prepared from control maize. Among the domestic maize hybrids, KS42/Fla2BT113 had more acceptable kernel characteristics of tortilla chips than other varieties.

The cooking properties of imported rice (Thai and Chinese rice, harvested in 1998) were compared with those of domestic rice(Chuchung byeo, harvested in 1998 and 1997). The morphology, general composition, color value, RVA viscosities, cooking properties, texture and sensory properties of raw or cooked rice were measured. Thai rice showed lower water absorption rate than others, however its amylose content and gelatinization temperature were higher. While the cooked Thai rice showed the least preference due to its hard and nonsticky properties, Korean rice harvested in 1998 showed the greatest cooking quality in stickiness and softness. Although Chinese rice was inferior to Korean rice harvested in 1998, there were no significant difference between Chinese rice harvested in 1998 and Korean rice harvested in 1997.

The lipid composition of domestic and imported beef samples was analyzed and the lipid rancidity and flavor changes during their cooking and storage for 48 hours at $4^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The contents of total lipids and neutral lipids of raw, cooked and cooked-stored samples were higher in domestic beef than in imported beef. During cooking by simmering or roasting and storage for 48 hours at $4^{\circ}C$, the contents of total lipids and phospholipids showed a decreasing tendency in all samples. The results of sensory test for domestic and imported beef samples with two different cooking methods revealed significant differences between domestic and imported in both simmering and roasting. In a palatability test by hedonic scale, no significant difference was observed among roasted samples while a significant difference was observed among simmered samples between cooked domestic and cooked-stored imported beef. The increaase of TBA values in all cooked samples was mild right after cooking whereas it was rapid in cooked-stored samples. As TBA values increased, sensory scores decreased in all samples.

Purpose: High energy requirement and long cooking time are limiting consumption of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), a nutritious food. This study was performed to estimate energy and time demand by different methods of cooking pigeon pea. Methods: Pigeon pea (150 g) was soaked in 2.0 L of water at ambient temperature ($29{\pm} 2^{\circ}C$) to determine hydration behavior. Cooking experiments were conducted using aluminum and pressure-cooking pots. Efficiency of cooking was evaluated using four types of cooking appliances (kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), electric, and charcoal stoves). Normal (continuous heating until the food was satisfactorily cooked) and control (controlling the energy input to closely match the actual energy required) cooking were conducted. Energy requirement and duration of cooking were determined using standard procedures. Results: Soaking increased moisture content from 11.99 to 30.01% in 90 min, while water absorption rate decreased with soaking duration. In cooking 150 g of pigeon pea using kerosene stove, presoaked normal pressure-pot cooking method consumed the least energy (10 800 kJ) and time (205 min), while unsoaked normal cooking consumed the highest energy (18 450 kJ) and time (336 min). Using LPG stove, unsoaked normal cooking method required the highest energy (52 470 kJ), while presoaked control pressure-pot required the least energy (14 405 kJ). For electric stove, the lowest energy (15 560 kJ) and shortest duration (105 min) were recorded during control cooking of presoaked sample in the pressure-pot. Conclusions: Control cooking was not practicable using charcoal stove. Generally, kerosene stove consumed the least energy, while electric stove was found to have the shortest duration of cooking.

To make of basic date for the progressive global brand of Korean rice, we compared with characteristics of Calrose and two Korean rice cultivar, Chucheongbyeo(medium-late maturing cultivar) and Odaebyeo(early-maturing cultivar). General characteristics of rice, pasting property of rice flour by Rapid visco Analyser, determination of optimal ratio of water to rice for cooking by electric and pressure cooker and eating quality(sensory evaluation) of Calrose with that of Korean rice cooked at the optimal cooking conditions were measured. One kernel length of Calrose, Chucheongbyeo and Odaebyeo were 6.00, 4.73 and 5.22 mm, respectively. Calrose showed higher viscosity(195 RVU) in all parameters than Korean rices(Chucheongbyeo 176 RVU, Odaebyeo 178 RVU), of which the values were similar. These data imply that the properties of starch of Calrose may be different from that of Korean rice. In general, it is agreed, in Korea and Japan, that the balance of hardness and stickiness of cooked rice is very important. However, stickiness and overall eating quality for cooked Calrose was significantly poorer than Korean rices. Cooked Calrose did not significantly different in hardness, stickiness and overall eating quality compared with those of Korean rices. Calrose cooked with the ratio of water to rice of 1.4 with electric cooker was less sticky than Korean rices and thus was poorer in eating quality compared with Korean counterparts. Calrose cooked with the ratio of water to rice of 1.3 with pressure cooker had the same eating quality with Korean rices.

One of the most pressing problems of the day in our household economy is the scientific improvement of meal management, which has direct bearings on the efficiency of housewives, domestic economy, and health care for the whole family. The concern of this paper is to investigate the current meal management situation in which more than three hundred housewives in Seoul find themselves, and to propose a tentative plan for its improvement. The result of the investigation is summarized as follows : 1) The number of families with old-fashioned kitchens forms a percentage of 30.3 ; only 4.3 percent of them have waterworks and drainage system. 2) The number of families equipped with cooking machines and utensils constitutes 51.2 percent ; that of those without cooking machines reaches the high percentage of 92.8. 3) The expense for daily meals amounts to 37.9 percent of the whole domestic expenses. the number of those who prepare daily meals without any planning comprises 78 percent. It is from habit that 60.5 percent of them make no workable plan for their meals. 4) The frequency of housewives doing daily marketing is comparatively high. 5) The time spent in preparing and clearing the table is 280.4 minutes a day on the average. 6) In preparing daily meals the low income bracket tends to keep expense as low as possible, while the high income bracket is chiefly concerned with taste. 7) The frequency of home cooking is on the increase as the housewives grow older, especially in the large families with housemaids. 8) In most cases housewives do the cooking for themselves; the high income brackets have housemaids do the cooking. The number of husbands who help their wives do kitchen work a small percentage of 10-14. 9) The simplification of kitchen work presupposes the simplification of the daily cooking, the improvement of the structure and equipment of the kitchen, and a good help of the whole family.

In oder to investigate the cooking potentiality for Japanese dishes using domestic Citrus sudachi cultivated in Jeju, sauce making, grilling, steaming, pot-boiling, frying, and sushi/sashimi making were prepared and evaluated. The content of moisture, fat, protein, fiber, carbohydrate, and ash in the Citrus sudachi juice were 91.5%, 0.21%, 0.62%, 0.23%, 5.32%, 0.25%, receptively. The acidity, $^{\circ}Brix$ 7.4, pH of sudachi juice were 5.09%, $^{\circ}Brix$ 7.4, pH 3.02, receptively. In Japanese cuisine, it was possible for sudachi juice to replace vinegar in dressing for raw vegetables, and various sauce for fish dishes such as ponzu, wafu dressing, sushi vinegar and tentsuyu. Among thirteen kind of Japanese cuisine with sudachi juice, broiled mackerel, barbecue, tobinmusi showed high acceptability in the sensory evaluation. The most acceptable recipe of vinegar soy sauce was considered by the ratio of 4(soy sauce) : 3(sudachi juice). In addition, it is possible to use processed good made from the Citrus sudachi juice as all kind of Japanese cooking seasoning. Therefore, imported lemons or limes might be replaced with domestic citrus sudachi cultivated in Jeju.

Purpose: In this study, small black beans (Rhynchosia nulubilis) that were produced in the Jungsun province of South Korea were selected for use in various cooking recipes because they are known to contain higher isoflavones and excellent antioxidant effects, as compared to any other domestic soybeans. Methods: Physicochemical and antioxidant characteristics of small black beans were analyzed with uncooked beans and four other cooking methods of pan broiling, boiling, steaming, and pressure cooking. Results: Contents of ${\beta}$-glucosides (daidzin, glycitin, and genistin) and aglycone (daidzein, glycitein, and genistein) in small black beans were significantly different depending on the cooking methods (p<0.001). The results of the experiment indicated that the amount of total polyphenol in pressure cooked beans was highest, showing a value of 7.16 mg/g (p<0.001). Most contents of isoflavones (${\beta}$-glucoside, aglycone) in uncooked beans appeared to increase after cooking. In particular, the amount of glycitein was highest in pan broiled beans ($9.63{\mu}g/g$). The total isoflavone content differed among the different cooking methods, ranging from highest to lowest in the following order : pan broiled beans ($759.49{\mu}g/g$), pressure cooked beans ($725.12{\mu}g/g$), boiled beans ($591.05{\mu}g/g$), steamed beans ($511.61{\mu}g/g$), and uncooked beans ($180.80{\mu}g/g$) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Especially, the amount of isoflavones increased significantly in pan broiled beans and pressure cooked beans, suggestive of optimized cooking methods for increasing nutritional and functional contents in cooked food.

Korean cabbage (Brassica campestris L.ssp.pekinensis) is one of the major cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain a rare series of secondary metabolites of amino acids called glucosinolates, as well as carotenoids, tocopherol, vitamin C and fibers. This study evaluated the effect of common cooking methods (boiling, microwaving, steaming and frying) on the phytochemical content (lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol), and total antioxidant capacity of Korean cabbages, determined by DPPH assay and ABTS assay. Boiling caused a decrease in carotenoids, lutein and tocopherols. Microwaving and steaming were relatively good cooking methods for maintaining lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The overall results of this study demonstrate that some domestic cooking procedures, specifically microwave and steaming, increased the bioaccessibility of carotenoids and tocopherol, highlighting the positive role of the nutritional properties of Korean cabbage.
