It was tried to utilize organic waste sludge from wastewater treatment plant as a starting material to produce a solid fuel by vacuum flying. The effects of decompression levels, frying time and temperature on the calorific value and moisture of vacuum fried sludge were systematically investigated. Dewatered raw sludge used in this study had a moisture of 81.1% and calorific value of 2,930 kcal/kg. Based on the experimental observation, it was identified that the decompression level and frying time have the greatest influence on the calorific value of vacuum fried sludge. Moistures of the fried sludge at $180^{\circ}C$ for 25 min in 760 mmHg, 684 mmHg and 630 mmHg were 32.4%, 14.2% and 11.6%, respectively. Calorific values of the vacuum fried sludge at $140^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and 25 min were 5,400 kcal/kg and 5,540 kcal/kg in 684 mmHg and 5,520 kcal/kg and 5,660 kcal/kg in 630 mmHg, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of gluten-free frying pre-mix with insoluble dietary fiber powder (IDFP) from Chinese cabbage by-product. Methods: Frying powder mix was prepared with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0% IDFP. Fried powder mix only whit brown rice powder was used as a control. Spreadability, pick-up ratio and color of batter, texture, moisture and oil contents, oil absorption and sensory evaluation of fried sweet potato were determined. Results: L and a-values of batter decreased with increasing amount of IDFP, whereas b-value increased with IDFP addition. Hardness and crispiness of fried sweet potato increased with IDFP addition until 1.5%. Moisture content of fried sweet potato increased with higher IDFP addition whereas oil content and oil absorption decreased with increasing amount of IDFP. Sensory evaluation of fried sweet potato showed the best results in the 0.5% of IDFP addition group. Conclusion: Overall preference of IDFP samples was significantly higher than that of control. Based on the study, the optimal amount of IDFP for gluten-free fried powder mix was determined to be 0.5-1.5%.

Purpose: This study measured the ethyl carbamate (EC) content in commercial and home-made soy sauce and examined the effects of cooking methods, such as boiling and pan-frying, on the EC content. Methods: A total of 20 soy sauce samples including 14 home-made and 6 commercial products were analyzed according to the AOAC official method with some modifications. To simulate conventional boiling, soy sauce containing EC ($14.59{\mu}g/kg$) was heated to $100^{\circ}C$ for four different times: 10, 20, 30, or 40 min. Pan-frying was conducted for 4 min at $170^{\circ}C$. Results: EC was not detected in any of the homemade samples, whereas it was found in the commercial samples, ranging from 2.51 to $14.59{\mu}g/kg$. The concentrations of EC increased gradually with increasing boiling from 14.59 to $26.54{\mu}g/kg$, whereas pan-frying did not affect the EC level in soy sauce. Conclusion: These results indicate that EC is formed by a reaction between the EC precursors during boiling, suggesting that the cooking method of each food should be considered when estimating the dietary exposure to EC.

This study investigated the effects of cooking methods on the digestibility of lipids and formation of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in pork, during in vitro human digestion. Pork patties were cooked using four different methods (oven cooking, pan frying, boiling, and microwaving), to an internal temperature of approximately $85^{\circ}C$. The digestibility of pork patties were then evaluated, using the in vitro human digestion model that simulated the composition (pH, minerals, surfaceactive components, and enzymes) of digestive juices in the human mouth, stomach, and small intestine. The total lipid digestibility was higher after microwave cooking, whereas pan-frying resulted in lower in vitro digestibility, compared to the other cooking methods. The microwaving method followed by in vitro digestion also showed significantly higher content of free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), compared to the other cooking methods; whereas, the pan frying and boiling methods showed the lowest. Cholesterol content was not significantly different among the cooked samples before, and after in vitro human digestion. The formation of COPs was significantly higher in the microwave-treated pork samples, compared to those cooked by the other methods, which was consistent with the trend for lipid peroxidation (TBARS). We propose that from the point of view of COPs formation and lipid oxidation, the pan-frying or boiling methods would be useful.

We attempted to develop a seafood menu by applying the most preferred recipes to the most disliked seafood menus in order to improve elementary schoolers' seafood menu preferences and consumption levels. A survey was conducted on the attitudes of 106 fifth graders about nine cooking methods and 37 school seafood menus served in the past 2 years. The deep-frying method was the most preferred by both boys and girls. The next preferred methods by boys were grilling and batter-frying while those by girls were stir-frying and batter-frying. The most disliked menus were cold jellyfish salad, mussel soup, dried-pollack soup, and sea-snail salad in that order. Mussel soup, dried-pollack soup, and seasnails salad ranked as the least preferred menu as well. Finally, standardized recipes for mussel croquette, dried-pollack Gangjeong, and batter-fried seasnails were developed. Consumption ratios of mussel croquette (85.94%), dried-pollack Gangjeong (79.55%), and batter-fried seasnails (75.5%) were significantly improved compared to the original menu (p<0.001). For mussel croquette, satisfaction scores for serving size, appearance, flavor, texture, and taste were significantly higher, and intakes of protein, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin C were significantly improved, as compared with mussel soup (p<0.001). Dried-pollack Gangjeong, texture and taste scores were significantly improved compared to dried-pollack soup. For batter-fried seasnails, protein, phosphorus, and iron intake levels and taste score were significantly improved compared to seasnail salad. Findings of the study suggest that a combination of disliked seafood ingredients and preferred recipes may be helpful in improving elementary school foodservice by increasing menu preference and consumption ratio.

As people are being exposed to many types of fast food, rancid oil is a factor affecting public health. Monitoring of rancidity in frying oils needs to be done adequately. The chemical methods that are currently used require long periods of time and expertise. The development of a device that quickly and easily measures rancidity would be helpful to manage rancidity in frying oils adequately. Due to the fact that carbon nanotube (CNT) is sensitive to acid value, we used CNT as a sensing material for detecting oil rancidity. Polyethylenimine (PEI) was coated on CNT for stable measurements. Experiments were conducted at $100^{\circ}C$ after samples were cooled from $180^{\circ}C$. The results showed a strong correlation between acid values and resistances using CNT sensors. As the acid value of oils increased, the resistance of CNT sensors increased. Development of sensors using CNT may make it possible to determine the rancidity of frying oils in real-time and on site.

In this study, we carried out the preparing standardization and regulation of processed Glycyrrhizae Radix (PGR) which have been widely used in oriental medicines. Glycyrrhizae Radix(GR) have been generally prepared by the stir-frying, or mix-frying with honey for the purpose of decreasing sweetness and augmenting vitality. Firstly, we tried to standardize PGR prepared by the stir-frying. We purchased 14 kinds of PGR and non-processed GR(NPGR) at oriental physician's offices and oriental pharmacies on a nation scale, respectively. The amounts of dry on loss, water extract, diluted ethanol extract, ether extract, total ash, acid insoluble ash, glycyrrhizin(GL), glycyrrhetic acid(GA) and liquiritin(LQ) of them were examined. The amounts of dry on loss, GL and LQ in commercial PGRs showed remarkable decrease, while GA showed increased as compared with NPGR. In order to standardize preparing method of PGR, the effect of heating time on physico-chemical parameters and biological activities were examined. Physico-chemical parameters such as dry on loss, extract amount, GL and LQ contents in PGRs showed decrease, however, GA was increased with heating time as compared with NPGR. Also, GA, obtained from heat-treated GR, was found as an artifact in PGRs. PGR was more effective than NPGA in vitro test of DPPH scavenging effect and TBA-Rs reducing effect. PGR and NPGR showed potent hepatoprotective effect on $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. Especially, PGR prepared by 80 min of heating was the most effective. Considering these results, the optimal condition for PGR preparation was $150^{\circ}C$ for 80 min.

The textural and antioxidant properties, as well as the changes in functional constituents of shiitake mushrooms cooked by three different methods (boiling, steaming, and frying) were analyzed. The hardness of the mushrooms did not change significantly at the end time of cooking for each method. The antioxidant properties determined by measuring the free-radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content were the highest in the control (uncooked shiitake), and these properties were adversely affected after cooking, especially by boiling. Both the riboflavin and eritadenine contents were the highest in the control, but decreased upon cooking, in the following order: frying > steaming > boiling. The ergocalciferol content after frying was less than that in other samples. Although uncooked shiitake mushroom showed a higher concentration of functional constituents, it needs to be cooked adequately owing to its tough texture. If the hardness of the mushrooms cooked by different methods is the same, frying is considered the most acceptable method.

To evaluate the effect of frying times on the oxidative stability of soybean oil and shortening, they were reused up to 10 times and measured by thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV) and sensory evaluation. As the reusing time was increased, TBA value of "battered pork" fried with shortening showed more sharply increased than that with soybean oil, while the value of shortening, itself, showed more decreased than that of soybean oil. In frying fat, AV and POV increased with the increase of reusing times. Compared with soybean oil, shortening had rapidly increased for POV as reusing time was increased. Among the sensory analyses TBA of "battered pork" with soybean oil and shortening exhibited the highest correlation with flavor and texture, respectively. For the "batgtered pork" fried with soybean oil and shortening, reusing shelf-lives predicted were approximately 9 and 8 times, respectively.

In this experiment, I used three samples of oils. The oils that I used were hydrated soybean oil, pure soybean oil and regular soybean oil. The group of rice was fried in the each sample of oil that had not been used for a few seconds. Rice was used after frying at 230-235$^{\circ}C$ every four hours terms and total frying hours was 12 hours. The hydrated soybean oils was least affected in rancidity. The other two oils were more affected in rancidity than the hydrated soybean oil. However, the trans fatty acid in hydrated soybean oil was 36.5%. The diameter of the poped rice that was fried in pure soybean oil and regular soybean oil that had been used 12 for hours was reduced while the diameter of the popped rice fried in the hydrated soybean oil was not reduced. Also, the groups of rice fried in the pure and the regular soybean oil that had been used for 12 hours reduced the hardness in rice while the group that fried in the hydrated soybean oil at the 12th hour kept the hardness well. In sensory evaluation, rancidity order was found apparently in the pure soybean oil that had been used for 12 hour and in the regular soybean oil that have been used for eight hours and 12 hours. Only the hydrated soybean oil did not have distinctive rancidity order at all. The degree of the crispiness was reduced in the pure soybean oil and in the regular soybean oil at 12th hour frying. However, the hydrated soybean oil preserved the crispiness well until the end of 12 hours of frying. In overall preference test, the pure and regular soybean oil that had been used for 12 hour were not preferable. In conclusion, I found that the group fried in the hydrated soybean oil was better in every evaluation than the groups fried in the pure soybean oil and in regular soybean oil. The hydrated Soybean oil may be better to be used in food manufacturing if the trans fatty acid in the hydrated soybean oil can be reduced.
