Comparative effects of phosphine fumigation and gamma irradiation were evaluated on the qualities of white ginseng prepacked in a commercial laminated film in terms of water absorption, Hunter color parameters(L, a, b) and organoleptic properties(overall color/appearance, flavor) during 6 months of storage at ambient(20oC, 70% RH) and accelerated(40oC, 90% RH) conditions. Moisture content of packed white ginseng(initial 8.44%) linearly increased with storage period, thereby reaching to about 10% (r=0.9966) in ambient and more than 15%(r=0.9886) in accelerated conditions, respectively, at the 6th month of storage. The storage at severe conditions resulted in remarkable changes in Hunter's color values, decrease in whiteness(L) and increase in redness(a) and yellowness(b), while both treatments, phosphine and irradiation less than 5kGy, did not cause any significant changes in color parameters. Phosphine fumigation was shown detrimental to overall flavor of white ginseng(p<0.01), however or ganoleptic qualities of stored samples were effectively maintained by irradiation less than 5kGy(p< 0.05). As the index on the guality of white ginseng stored at severe conditions its organoleptic quality was highly correlated with moisture content(r= 0.9777) and Hunter color values(over 0.9), suggesting the critical values of 15.5% moisture and 72.56, 7.15, 21.45 in Hunter's L, a, b values, respectively.

Response surface methodology was used for monitoring extraction conditions, based on quality properties of old pumpkin extracts. Hunter's color L value of extracts was maximized at 101℃, 2.6 hr and decreased gradually after maximum point. The polynomial equation for Hunter's color L value showed 10% of significance level and 0.8799 of R². Hunter's color a value was minimized at 117℃, 3.9 hr and R² of polynomial equation was 0.9852 within 1% significance level. Hunter's color b value and ΔE value increased as the extracting temperature and time increased. Extraction yield of old pumpkin was maximized at 110℃, 4 hr and increased in proportional to the extracting temperature and time, but decreased after 113℃ and 2 hr. Viscosity of pumpkin extracts were maximized at 120℃, nearly 3 hr. R² of polynomial equations for yield, viscosity and sugar content were 0.9532, 0.9812 and 0.8869, respectively. Optimum ranges of extraction conditions for quality properties of old pumpkin were 102∼109℃, 2.5∼3.5 hr, respectively. Predicted values at the optimum extraction condition agreed with experimental values.

Powders prepared from three different varieties Korean Ginsengs(white, red and black) are readily available ingredients and are consumed daily by many Korean as a functional food material. These variants of Ginsengs are known to exert a variety of physiological effects. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the physiochemical characteristics of Korean Ginseng Dasik prepared with different 3 types of Ginseng powder. We conducted a sensory evaluation analysis, and assessed the mechanical characteristics, Hunter's color values, and general compositions of 3 types of Korean Ginseng Dasik stored at room temperature(20$^{\circ}C$). The results of our sensory evaluation showed that there were significant differences in the color, taste and overall quality of the samples(p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in odor or texture. With regard to the mechanical properties of the samples, we noted significant differences in he Hardness, Cohesiveness, Gumminess and Chewiness of the samples(p<0.05), but no differences in springiness were detected. The luminance of the black Ginseng Dasik was significantly less than that of the red, white, and control samples(p<0.05), We noted significant differences in Hunter's b values, but no significant differences in Hunter's a values among the samples were detected. No significant differences in the general compositions of the samples were noted. In conclusion, red Ginseng Dasik among the samples evaluated herein, has the most commercial value.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of Cheongpomook prepared with five different levels of mungbean powder (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). We conducted the Hunter's color values, the rheological characteristics, sensory evaluations, and pasting properties of the Cheongpomook samples. The more mungbean powder was added, the more the luminance and Hunter's a values of Cheongpomook samples were decreased, but in Hunter's a values was reverse. With regard to the rheological properties of the Cheongpomook samples, the more mungbean powder was added, the values of hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly decreased. In color, taste, and overall quality, the value of 25% mungbean powder added Cheongpomook (MP1) and 50% added Cheongpomook (MP2) were significantly higher than those of others. The resulting RVA viscogram, peak viscosity, hold viscosity, break down, setback, and final viscosity of Cheongpomook were decreased with an increase in mungbean powder, but the pasting temperature was increased slightly. Therefore, an addition of 25% mungbean powder appears to be an acceptable approach to enhance the quality of Cheongpomook without reducing acceptability.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of black ginseng jelly prepared with different 5 levels(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) of black ginseng extract. We assessed the ginsenosides level of white and black ginseng for comparison between white and black ginseng. And we conducted the pH, sugar content, Hunter's color values, the mechanical characteristics and sensory evaluation of black ginseng jelly samples. The levels of ginsenoside $Rg_3,\;Rh_1$, and $Rh_2$ of black ginseng were higher than those of white ginseng. The more black ginseng extract was increased, the sugar contents of black ginseng jelly were significantly increased(p<0.05). We noted that the luminance and Hunter's b values of jelly samples were decreased according to black ginseng extract was increased, but in Hunter's a values 0.5% black ginseng jelly was the highest of the all. With regard to the mechanical properties of the black ginseng jelly samples, the score of hardness, gumminess and chewiness were significantly increased. In color, taste and overall quality, the score of jelly with 1.0% black ginseng extract was significantly increased than those of the all.

The study investigated the roast color formation properties of ginseng upon soaking in threonine/sucrose solution followed by roasting. To determine operational parameters, including threonine concentration ($X_1$, 0.1~0.9%), sucrose concentration ($X_2$, 1.0~3.0%), and roasting temperature ($X_3$, $130{\sim}170^{\circ}C$), response surface methodology was applied to monitor color properties, including brown color intensity, Hunter's colors, and organoleptic color. Coefficients of determinations ($R^2$) of the models were above 0.8758 (P<0.05) in terms of brown color intensity and Hunter's color parameters. Brown color intensity of roasted ginseng extract was maximized in 0.70% threonine and 2.32% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of 25 min at $166.03^{\circ}C$. a values of roasted ginseng were maximized in 0.74% threonine and 2.19% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $165.40^{\circ}C$. b values of roasted ginseng were maximized in 0.61% threonine and 2.28% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $159.16^{\circ}C$. The maximum organoleptic color score of roasted ginseng extract was 7.27 in 0.53% threonine and 1.01% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $146.96^{\circ}C$.
