The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of black rice muffins prepared with various concentrations of chito-oligosaccharide(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%). The the weight of the groups with chito-oligosaccharide was higher than that of the control group, but the height, volume, and specific volume of the groups with chito-oligosaccharide were lower than those of the control group. The moisture contents increased with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The pH decreased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The L value of Hunter's color decreased, but the a and b value increased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The muffin without the chito-oligosaccharide was the highest hardness. The textural properties revealed the cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness of groups with chito-oligosaccharide increased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. Antioxidant activities of muffins increased as the amount of chito-oligosaccharide increased.

The purpose of this study was to develop a functional hasuo (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) muffin prepared via the replacement of sucrose (SM) with oligosaccharide (fructooligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide). The fructooligosaccharide-added hasuo muffin showed the highest weight while the volume and specific volume were lower in the oligosaccharide-added group than in the sucrose-added sample. The pH of the sucrose-added sample was higher than that of the oligosaccharide-added sample. The lowest lightness value was found in the sucrose-added sample, but the highest redness and yellowness values were found in the sucrose-added sample. The springiness and cohesiveness were highest in the fructooligosaccharide-added sample. The DPPH-radical-scavenging activity of the hasuo muffin including sucrose was 38.67, while that including the oligosaccharide group ranged from 42.87 to 65.95. In the sensory evaluation of the hasuo muffin, the fructooligosaccharide-added sample obtained the highest score in after-swallow, flavor, taste, and texture. The hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide obtained high scores in overall acceptability. These results suggest that hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide have the potential to become commercially successful muffins.

Paeksulkis(Korean rice cake) containing 0-0.5% chitosan were prepared for test the quality of microbiological, mechanical and sensory characteristics. The pH of Paeksulkis was 5.65 without chitosan and that was about 7.0 with 0.05-0.5% level of chitosan. In Hunter's color values of Paeksulkis of control, the lightness(L) was 84.28, redness(a) was -1.56 and yellowness(b) was 7.68. The lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) were increased with increasing concentration of chitosan in Paeksulkis. In mechanical characteristics of Paeksulkis, cohesiveness and springiness were the highest in control group while strength, hardness, gumminess and brittlenes were higher in chitosan added group than control group. In sensory evaluation of Pasksulkis, control group obtained the highest score in color, texture, after swallowing and overall quality(p<0.05) but chitosan added group obtained higher scores in moisture than control(p<0.05). Total bacterial counts(TBC) of Paeksulgis immediately before storage were 4.2∼9.2$\times$10$^2$CFU/g and those of control increased for 2 weeks, reached at 7.4$\times$10$\^$5/ CFU/g and then decreased about 1 log cycle for 2 weeks during storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Paeksulgis added 0.3∼0.5% of chitosan were 2 log cycles lower than that of control at the end of storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Pasksulgis control increased to 10$\^$8/ CFU/g during storage at 20$\^{C}$ but that of 0.5% chitosan added group was 1 log cycle lower than control at the end of storage. Shelf-life extension of Paeksulkis by chitosan was more effective during storage at 5$\^{C}$ than at 20$\^{C}$.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of yeast culture on the nutrient digestibility, performance and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs. Corn-soy basal diets contained 20, 18, and 16% CP and 3,265kcal/kg ME at different growth stages. One hundred and twenty pigs(8wk-old) were allocated into four supplementation levels of yest culture (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4%) in Expt 1. Weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency were periodically recorded for 112 days. A metabolic feeding trial was conducted to measure the nutrient digestibility. Physical and chemical characteristics of the Longissimus Dorsi muscle(LM) from the pigs were measured at the end of experiment (Expt 2). In Expt 1, weight gain and feed efficiency were not different among the dietary treatment groups during the overall period. The digestibilities of protein and fiber were greater in 0.1% and 0.2% yeast culture-supplemented groups than in control (P<0.05). However, fat and ash digestibilities were not improved by the dietary treatment. In Expt 2, the LM protein content in 0.1% yeast culture-supplemented group, but not in 0.2% or 0.4%-supplemented group, was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). The LM pH, purge loss, cooking loss and color were not affected by the dietary treatment. The LM shearing force was less in 0.2% yeast culture-supplemented group than in the control group (P<0.05). Other LM physicochemical properties did not differ between the dietary treatment groups. Total saturated and unsaturated fatty acids percentages and total cholesterol content of the LM did not differ across the dietary treatment groups.

Bread was prepared with different concentrations of Pleurotus eryngii powder ($2.5{\sim}10.0%$), and the fermentation characteristics were investigated. While pH of dough increased, fermentation power of dough expansion by fermentation decreased with the increase of Pleurotus eryngii powder added. Although bread weight decreased, there were no significant differences in dough weight, dough yield and baking loss as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of volume and specific volume, they were significantly decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Size of bread decreased gradually and aircell uniformity became bigger and random as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. As the results of color values, L and b values of crust decreased; however, there was no significant difference in a value. L value of crumb decreased although a and b values increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content. In the textual characteristics, hardness, gumminess and brittleness of bread significantly increased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of free amino acid, Glu content was the largest in most samples and most amino acid contents increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content except for Asp. In descriptive test, scores of color, flavor, hardness and palatability increased, however aircell uniformity, springiness and moistness decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. As the results of preference test, color was the best preferred in control${\sim}5.0%$ groups without significant difference. The preference of flavor and texture was in the order of 2.5% group> 5.0% group> 7.5% group> control> 10.0% group as 2.5% group was the most preferred.

This study was carried out to find optimum substitution amounts of garlic juice for the purpose of garlic-Yackwa development. Five experimental groups containing 0 t.s, 1/2 t.s, 1 t.s, 1 and 1/2 t.s, and 2 t.s of garlic juice per 1 cup of flour were compared with basic group containing 2 t.s of ginger juice per 1 cup of flour (ginger-Yackwa), by Hunter's colorimetry, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation. In Hunter's color value, Yackwa, substituted garlic juice from 1/2 t.s to 2 t.s per 1 cup of flour for ginger juice, were lower than ginger-Yackwa. The higher amounts of garlic juice in garlic-Yackwa showed the lower tendancy of L and a values. The b value of garlic-Yackwa containing from 0 t.s to 2 t.s of garlic juice was higher than that of ginger-Yackwa. The higher amounts of garlic juice in garlic-Yackwa showed the higher tendancy of b value. In the texture characteristics, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness and chewiness of all garlic-Yackwa were significantly lower than those of ginger-Yackwa. Cohesiveness of garlic-Yackwa containing from 1 t.s to 2 t.s of garlic juice was significantly higher than that of ginger-Yackwa. Gumminess of Yackwa with garlic juice was higher ($1_{1/2}$ t.s, 2 t.s) than that of ginger-Yackwa, or lower (0 t.s∼l t.s) than that of ginger-Yackwa. The higher amounts of garlic juice in garlic-Yackwa showed the higher tendancies of hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess, while springiness and chewiness showed vice versa. In sensory evaluation, the higher amounts of garlic juice in garlic-Yackwa showed the better color, appearance, flavor, taste and overall acceptability. Especially garlic-Yackwa with 2 t.s of garlic juice showed the best color, appearance, taste, overall acceptability among them. Garlic-Yackwa with 2 t.s of garlic juice evaluated the best, while ginger-Yackwa evaluated the worst. In conclusion, these results indicated that 2 t.s of garic juice per 1 cup of flour could be very useful as a substitute for ginger juice in developing garlic-Yackwa.

Chiffon cakes were prepared using various concentrations of aloe gel to develop functional baking procedures. The quality characteristics of chiffon cakes prepared after addition of 20%, 40%, or 60% (w/w) aloe gel, substituting for the same levels of wheat flour, were investigated. No significant weight difference between cakes was observed. The height of cakes containing aloe gel was significantly greater than that of control cakes. The baking loss rate (BLR) of aloe gel decreased as the amount of gel increased, and cakes prepared using 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the lowest BLR. Moisture contents of cakes prepared using aloe gel were higher than that of control cakes. Cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the highest moisture content. The pore size of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was the smallest of all groups. Crumb color became whiter as the proportion of aloe gel increased. Lightness (L value) of control cake was lower than that of cake containing aloe gel. Redness (a value) of aloe chiffon cakes increased as the proportion of aloe gel rose. Yellowness (b value) of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly higher than that of the control group. Other cakes showed no difference in b value compared with control cake. Hardness in all cakes prepared with aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group. Adhesiveness of control cake was significantly lower than that of other cakes. No significant between-group difference in springiness was observed. The cohesiveness of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group and that of cakes with 20% (w/w) aloe gel. The gumminess and chewiness of control cakes were significantly higher than those of other cakes. The yellowness of cake with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the other groups. Pore size decreased after the addition of aloe gel. There was no significant difference in appearance among cakes thus, all cakes were acceptable to potential consumers. Although no perceptible difference in aloe odor was evident, cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel scored significantly lower in flavor acceptance compared with other cakes. No significant between-cake difference in taste acceptance, perceived moisture level, or texture acceptability was observed. Cakes with 40% and 60% (both w/w) aloe gel were of significantly higher density than other cakes. Overall, the acceptability of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was lower than that of other cakes. Ultimately, the results indicated that quality can be enhanced by adding less than 40% (w/w) aloe gel to chiffon cakes as a substitute for wheat flour.

The purpose of this paper is to verify improvement of the basic quality of food resources and make the pork legs as the more advanced food products after taking special processing steps with the mixture of traditional medical herbs and hot water extracted coffee meal. The pH level of the pettitoes(Jokbal) showed the highest rate among the control group but it showed no statistical differences in the moisture content between the control and the pettitoes(Jokbal) processed with coffee waste extract as an additional component. In addition, the levels of crude fat and crude ash showed slight increases as the addition of the amount increase. In case of the proteins, however, tendency of slight was decreased but it was not significantly difference as the amount increases. The sodium rate in the pettitoes(Jokbal) was higher in the additional group than in the control group. Texture analysis showed a tendency of wide decrease in the hardness and chewiness depending on amount of the added coffee waste extract. On the other hand, as for the cohesiveness and springiness, there was no significant difference with the control group. In case of the lightness value, as the amount of added coffee waste extract is increased from 10% to 20% and 30%, the 'L' value was reduced significantly compared to that of the control. And the 'a' value was not significantly different compared to the coffee waste extract foil impregnated furniture control. But the 'b' values were significantly increased in accordance with the result of increasing the amount of control is at the lowest level. The result may come from the influence of coffee waste extract, which affects the color of the pettitoes(Jokbal). According to the sensory evaluation, the pork part with 10% of coffee waste extract showed the highest score in looking, chewiness, smell and preference, resulting in the improvement in quality of the pettitoes(Jokbal).

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of adding lotus root and leaf powder on the quality characteristics of cooked pork patties. The patties were of four types: unadulterated (control, T0), 0.5% lotus root powder (T1), 0.25% lotus root and 0.25% lotus leaf powder (T2), and 0.5% lotus leaf powder (T3). We found that the moisture content was highest in T1 group, and that the protein and fat contents were lowest in T1 (p<0.05). The ash content was lowest in T0 (p<0.05). The cooking yield and moisture retention level were not significantly different among the samples, but fat retention was the highest in T3 (p<0.05). The hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness were also highest in T3, and the gumminess was lowest in T0 (p<0.05). The $L^*$ values tended to increase with longer storage periods, and that of T0 was the highest after nine days of the storage (p<0.05). By contrast, the $a^*$ values decreased with longer storage periods (p<0.05), with that of T3 being the lowest (p<0.05) during storage periods. The water holding capacity decreased with longer storage periods, and that of T1 was the highest (p<0.05) during storage periods. The pH of T1 decreased, and those of T2 and T3 increased with a longer storage period (p<0.05). TBARS values increased with a longer storage period, and those of T0, T1, T2 and T3 were 8.69, 2.95, 0.88 and 0.55 mg/kg, respectively, after nine days of storage (p<0.05).

The study investigated the quality characteristics of white castella prepared with 0, 10, 20, and 30% burdock (Arctium lappa L.) powder. The specific gravity and weight of castella increased with higher burdock powder content. Height and baking loss rate of castella were not significantly different among the samples. The pH of castella decreased with increasing burdock powder content, whereas $^{\circ}Brix$ of castella increased. Hunter L and b values of crust increased, whereas a values decreased with addition of burdock powder. Hunter L values of crumb decreased, whereas a and b values of crumb increased. The hardness of castella increased upon addition of burdock powder, whereas fracturability, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and resilience decreased. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents increased significantly upon addition of burdock powder (P<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, crust color, crumb color, and flavor were highest in the control group. Moistness had the highest scores in castella containing 20 and 30% burdock powder. Chewiness and overall acceptability were higher in castella added with 10% burdock powder than in the control and other samples, but there were no significant differences among the samples.
