This study was conducted in order to promote the utilization of fish meat paste added mulberry leaf powder(EPM) as food. The tested concentrations of mulberry leaf powder were 0, 0.1, 3, 0.5 and Ito The weight of the fish meat paste with FPM was heavier than the control(p<0.001). Oil absorption was the highest in the one with $0.3\%$ mulberry leaf powder, The It a and b values of the fish meat paste were decreased as increasing the concentration of mulberry leaf powder in Hunter color value(p<0.001). Good flexibility was shown not only in the control but also in the one with FPM in folding test. In texturometer test, the hardness was increasing, but the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness were decreasing in according to increasing the concentration of mulberry leaf powder. In sensory evaluation, color and oily taste were getting higher as increasing the concentration of mulberry leaf powder. The fish meat paste added with $0.5\%$ mulberry leaf powder showed the highest acceptance scores in flavor, texture and overall quality. The result suggest that mulberry leaf powder can be applied to fish meat paste for both quality and functionality.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with oddi powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%). The highest dough density value was 1.49, which was also observed in the 7% added group. The pH of the cookie dough was significantly reduced in at all oddi powder groups as compared to the controls. The spread factor of the cookies evidenced an inverse relationship with the concentration of oddi powder as compared to the controls (7.52). Hunter's color L, a, and b values in the cookies were reduced with increases in the level of added oddi powder. Hardness decreased, but chewiness increased, with increasing oddi concentrations as compared to the controls. In the sensory evaluation, the color of the cookies increased in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing concentrations of oddi powder. The taste scores were higher with a 3% addition of oddi powder. The cookies with $3{\sim}5%$ of the flour substituted for oddi powder scored highest on scores in appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

Effects of extraction conditions, gamma-irradiation and storage conditions on bioactivities of Citrus (Citrus unshiu) peel extract were investigated. The Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values of the extract increased but $b^{*}$-value decreased with an increase in absorbed irradiation dose. DPPH radical scavenging, tyrosinase inhibition and nitrite scavenging activities were not affected by irradiation but reduced by increased storage time. Nitrite scavenging activity of the extract was the highest at pH 1.2 followed by pH 4.2 and 6.0 and not changed by storage. Results indicated that there is potential for using citrus peel byproducts as a bioactive ingredient, and that gamma irradiation brightens the color of the extract without adversely altering its biological activity.ity.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of Garaeduk, a traditional Korean rice cake, to which Spirulina (0, 1, 2, 3%, all w/w) was added. Moisture content of Spirulina-containing Garaeduk both before and after cooking increased with Spirulina level. During storage, moisture content was greater in Spirulina-containing cakes compared with control cakes, and the Hunter color L and b values of Spirulina-containing cakes decreased. Textural properties (hardness, chewiness), measured using a texture analyzer, of Spirulina-containing cakes were greater than those of control. During storage, hardness and chewiness of Spirulina-containing cakes remained higher than those of control cakes. The antioxidant activities of Spirulina-containing cakes increased with Spirulina content, owing to increased phycocyanin levels. Amylography showed that peak viscosity, and thus gelatinization temperature, of Spirulina-containing Garaeduk cakes were similar. Sensory preference tests revealed that Garaeduk with 2% Spirulina had the highest scores for color, odor, taste, and overall preference. It is suggested that Spirulina to 2% can be added to Garaeduk to improve quality.

The objective of this study was to determine effects of soybean oil(SO), cottonseed oil(CO) and ricebran oil(RO) on stability and flavor of yackwa. This study consisted of yackwa fried in 3 differnet oils, then stored for 0, 3, 6 weeks in normal wrap at room temp. or vaccum package at $4^{\circ}C$. The moisture, oil contents, Hunter color values(L, 'a' and 'b'), % free fatty acid(FFA), thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value and sensory scores for color, flavor and acceptability were analyzed. The foam height of the oil after frying was also determined. Yackwa fried in RO was more red('a'=11.43) than yackwa fried in SO(10.64) or CO(10.51). TBA value of yackwa showed no difference among frying oils. Yackwa fried in SO showed better acceptability than those fried in CO. Yackwa fried in RO showed similar acceptability to yackwa fried in SO. The % FFA and TBA value of yackwa averaged across oil and package showed increasing tendency during 6 weeks storage.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk with different levels (0, 4, 8, 12, 16%) of added yam powder by measuring water content, color value, texture, and sensory quality. The water content of Sulgidduk decreased significantly (p<0.05) by increasing the amount of yam powder. The Hunter's L value of Sulgidduk decreased, and the a and b values increased significantly. Mechanical texture parameters, such as hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, adhesiveness, and chewiness decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the amount of added yam powder increased. The springiness of the 0, 4, 8 and 12% yam Sulgidduk was not different significantly, but springiness decreased significantly in the 16% yam Sulgidduk. Hardness increased significantly during storage, whereas cohesiveness, gumminess, and adhesiveness decreased. Springiness of the control sample increased significantly, but the Sulgidduk with added yam powder had the highest springiness levels during the first and second days. Chewiness was highest during the first day in all Sulgidduk preparations. The 12% yam Sulgidduk was the best in color, flavor, taste, moistness, chewiness, and overall acceptability from the sensory evaluation. These results indicate that Sulgidduk with 12% added yam powder had the best quality in sensory and texture analyses.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pickled radishes (RP) containing gardenia fruits (RPG), beet (RPB), and spinach (RPS) juice. We have conducted the moisture, salinity, sweetness, pH, titable acidity, Hunter's color values, and mechanical characteristics with a sensory evaluation by elementary, middle, high and university students on the colored radish pickles. The moisture contents of RP, RPG, RPB and RPS are not significantly different. The salinity and pH of RP were significantly higher than that of RPG, RPB, RPS (p<0.05; p<0.01). The sugar contents of RPS are significantly higher than the of RP, RPG and RPB (p<0.001). The titrable acidity of RPB and RPS is significantly higher than that of the RP and RPG (p<0.001). The lightness (L) of RP, the redness (a) of RPB and the yellowness (b) of RPS are the highest in sample group. For changes in texture profile analysis, the hardness level of RPB is higher than that of RP, RPG and RPS (p<0.01), but the chewiness of RPG is higher than those of RP, RPB and RPS (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, RPB scores the highest in color, taste, and overall acceptability, whereas RPS scores the lowest in color and overall acceptability. Based on the above results, we expect that radish pickles with beet juice have good characteristics and acceptances within the school food services.

Effects of heating, pH, organic acids and some salts on color changes of ground garlic, expressed by Hunter color values, were investigated during storage. The organic acids, such as acetic, citric and lactic acids rather enhanced greening, while NaCl affected little. As the pH decreased to 4.0, greening was significantly reduced. Among the several phosphates tested, $Na_{2}HPO_{4}\;and\;Na_{3}PO_{4}$ showed some positive effects and other chemicals, such as BHA, BHT, propyl gallate and glutathione showed little or negative effects on both greening and browning of ground garlic. Heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for up to 10 mins at pH range of $3.0{\sim}5.0$ caused a severe greening mostly, while heating at $90\;and\;100^{\circ}C$ for 30 mins or longer resulted in a decrease in greening and an increase in yellow color of ground garlic.

'Niitaka' (Pyrus pyriforia) has been the major cultivar of the Asian pear since the 1970s, and yielded about 70% of pear production in South Korea in 2002. When Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day) is earlier than the fruit maturation period, farmers seek to advance the harvesting date to keep pace with the increase in consumer demand caused by the holiday. However, unripened fruit is of suboptimal marketable value because the flesh has a low soluble solid content, the fruit color is not attractive, and stone volume is high. Compost treatment can enhance soil microbial activity and affect soil chemistry, which may accelerate fruit maturation and allow an earlier harvesting date. Therefore, we examined the effect of 2 years of compost application on the fruit quality of Asian pear trees grown under conventional management conditions. The Hunter "L" and "a" values were higher in compost-treated fruit, which also showed greater sweetness and lower acidity than did conventional fruit. The stone volume was reduced and fruit calcium concentration was increased by compost treatment. Therefore, compost treatment may advance fruit harvesting owing to the increased marketability afforded by attractive skin color, sweetness, and reduced stone volume.

This experiment was established to find out the effect of drying methods on the fruit and powder color of red pepper. Hunter's L, a, and b values of the dried fruit were also higher with the cut fruit in comparison with the whole or punched fruit. The Hunter's a value of the pepper powder after drying and grinding was slightly higher for the whole fruit with sun drying, but it was higher for the cut fruit in case of heat drying. The ASTA value was higher when pepper fruits were sun dried. For the heat drying, the value was higher with the drying temperature $60^{\circ}C$.
