This study was conducted to investigate the effects of herbs (dill weed, fennel seed and rosemary) on color stability and lipid oxidation of ground pork patties during storage at $2^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$. Lipid oxidation was determined by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method. Fennel seed was identified as being the most effective ingredient in terms of meat redness (Hunter a-values) during storage at $2^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). Patties treated with rosemary had lower Hunter a-values than control, and dill weed was the least beneficial in influencing meat redness, having significantly lower a-values than control patties. During frozen storage at $-20^{\circ}C$, no significant differences in a-values were observed between the control patties and those treated with fennel seed. Patties treated with rosemary had lower a-values than control and patties with dill weed had negative a-values throughout storage. The cooking process increased Hunter L-values and decreased a-values in all patty samples. TBARS values increased during storage. Rosemary displayed excellent antioxidative activity as evidenced by the completely inhibition of TBARS formation of cooked pork patties. Dill weed and fennel seed also exerted an intermediate but significant antioxidant effect during storage (p<0.05).

Effect of additive on color reversion of green tea extract, whose undesirable color had been removed by irradiation, was studied during storage. Hunter color L-vague of irradiated sample was significantly higher than that of nonirradiated control. The color of green tea extract with butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) did not differ from that of the control but the green tea extract with ascorbic acid had higher L-value than the control during the whole storage (p<0.05), However, the sample irradiated at 20 kGy showed a faster color reversion than the sample with 5 or 10 kGy of irradiation. Hunter color a-values were decreased by irradiation and the sample with ascorbic acid showed the lowest. The result of Hunter color b-value was also similar to that of Hunter color a-value, indicating that when the irradiation technology is used for color improvement of green tea extract, the ascorbic acid can be added to minimize color reversion of the extract during delivery or storage.

Application of the color indicators to kimchi packages was investigated in order to monitor the ripeness of commercial kimchi products during storage and distribution. Kimchi was packed in polypropylene (PP) tray and nylon/cast polypropylene (Ny/CPP) lid where the indicating sachet consisting of $CO_2$ absorbent and chemical dye (bromocresol purple and methyl red) was attached. The ripeness of kimchi during storage at $0{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ was measured in terms of pH and titratable acidity (TA), which were compared with Hunter color values of the indicators. The color of bromocresol purple dye turned from light blue to purple, while that of methyl red turned from light yellow to red. Regardless of the storage temperatures, Hunter b values of bromocresol purple type and Hunter a values of methyl red type appeared to be proportional to both the pH and TA values of kimchi. These results suggest that the color indicators be employed as one of the effective techniques for sensing the ripeness of packaged kimchi products without destructing the package.

The general properties(size, shape, fruit constituents) of ten different varieties of dried red pepper and the proximate chemical composition, carotenoids content and Hunter color values of their powders were examined in order to establish an objective instrumental method to evaluate the consumer acceptability of red pepper powder. The results of instrumentally measured color values were compared with the sensory acceptability data obtained from 100 housewives in Korea. Red carotenoid consisted of 68-85% of total carotenoids, while ${\beta}-carotene$ content showed close relationship with the sensory color preference. The values of Hunter color system, L,a,b and axL, showed significant relationships with the sensory color preference. Especially, axL value had close relationship with both color preference and pungency intensity of red pepper. Therefore, we suggest the consumer acceptability of red pepper powder can be determined instrumentally by axL value of colorimeter. Sensory acceptability=0.02001(axL)-12.5774

In order to observe the strawberry as the raw materials and to compare the color of strawberry's products, Hunter L,a,b tristimulate color values were measured physically by color difference meter. Food textural properties of strawberry were measured by Rheo textural meter for rheological properties of strawberry jam. According to results obtained, it showed that Hunter L,a,b tristimulus color values were affected by ripening time of strawberry and Hunter color values changed regularly on different pH. Deformation of red color pigment Hunter color values changed linearlly on different pH, therefore red color pigment of elderberry showed to be used as a food color agent. The first peak of strawberry in TPA curve was high as cherry, grape and pineapple Strawberry jam showed pseudoplastic characteristic and time dependence.

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.

We determined the chemical changes occurring in oil after exposure to high temperatures for various periods of time. Alterations in the chemical parameters of oil after heating for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at 120C were investigated. The study involved cold-pressed perilla oil (CPPO), virgin perilla oil (VPO), and commercial heat press-extracted perilla oil (CHPEPO), and we assessed quality properties such as Hunter's color values, browning color intensity, acid value, conjugated dienoic acid level, peroxide value, total phenolic content, electron-donating ability, and fatty acid concentration. Hunter L values were higher for CPPO than for VPO or CHPEPO, whereas browning color intensity was greatest for CHPEPO. Peroxide value data showed higher levels of oxidation products in CPPO than in VPO or CHPEPO, whereas conjugated dienoic acid level was most increased in CHPEPO. The content of total phenolics and electron-donating ability were higher in CHPEPO than in CPPO or VPO. After thermal treatment, fatty acid content was most altered in CPPO; in particular, the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids dropped significantly. Hunter L value, acid value, conjugated dienoic acid level, and peroxide concentration also increased whereas Hunter a and b values, browning color intensity, and total phenolic content were decreased in perilla seed oils after thermal oxidation treatment.

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.
