The sensory characteristics of eight commercial ready-to-drink (RTD) cold brew coffees were compared by descriptive analysis. The cold brew coffee samples were analyzed for hunter color values, brown color, turbidity, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, total phenolic content, and chlorogenic acid content. Three appearances, nine aroma, five flavor/taste, and four texture/mouth-feel related sensory attributes were evaluated by a panel of nine judges. The results of three-way analysis of variance of descriptive data showed that all sensory attributes except "fruit" aroma, "dark chocolate" aroma, "bitter" aroma, and "sweet" taste had significant differences among the samples (p<0.05). Based on the principal component analysis (PCA) of the descriptive data, the samples were primarily separated by first and second principal components, which accounted for 81.78% of the total variance among the samples with high intensities of "nutty aroma", "grain aroma", and "grain taste" versus "earth aroma", "sour aroma", "sour taste", "astringent", "smoothness", and "residual". In the correlation analysis of sensory terms and physicochemical parameters, titratable acidity and soluble solids showed significant positive correlations with earth aroma and smoothness characteristics.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of sulgidduck with addition of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% turmeric powder. The moisture content of sulgidduck ranged from 33.71% to 37.75. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduck tended to decrease the pH value, whereas it did not change $brix^{\circ}$ values of the samples. For Hunter color values, addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduck tended to decrease lightness (L) and increase redness (a) and yellowness (b). For textural characteristics, addition of turmeric powder decreased hardness, whereas adhesiveness and springiness of the samples were unaffected. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduk tended to increase gumminess. The addition of turmeric powder to sulgidduk tended to decrease chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, addition of 3% turmeric powder resulted in the best score in terms of taste and overall preference. Therefore, these results suggest that addition of 3% turmeric powder could be applied for making turmeric powder sulgidduk.

The objective of this study was carried out to elucidate the effect of LEDs (light emitting diodes) irradiation in relation to early growth and inorganic elements in leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. 'Chung Chi Ma'). In morphological changes of leaves, shoot elongation and hypocotyl length showed poor growth in red light irradiation, while the red+blue light irradiation induced shorter plant height and much greater leaf numbers resulting in increased fresh weight. In change of the Hunter's color and SPAD values, lettuce seedlings grown under in red+blue and fluorescent light irradiation had a higher $a^*$ value, otherwise SPAD values were not changed in these light irradiations. Interestingly, relative chlorophyll contents showed 1.8 times increased redness in the treatment of red+blue light irradiation. Inorganic element (N, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Fe) and ascorbic acid contents were increased in lettuce plants grown under LEDs light irradiation compared to those of lettuce grown under the fluorescent light which showed higher P and Mn contents. In conclusion, it is considered that red+blue light irradiation which stimulates growth and higher nutrient uptake in leaf lettuce could be employed in containers equipped with LEDs.

The study was conducted to compare quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of aged black chestnut inner shells (ACI) and raw chestnut inner shells (RCI). RCI were aged for 15 days at high humidity and temperature. As storage time progressed, the pH level decreased while acidity increased. The sugar concentration ($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar concentration (%) increased during storage, whereas L (lightness) decreased. Compared with RCI, L value of ACI was darker than that of RCI after 9 days of storage. In the Hunter color system, L and a (redness) values of ACI were higher than those of RCI, whereas there was no visible difference in degree of aging. Although total phenol contents increased with degree of aging, phenol contents of ACI increased more than those of RCI after 9 days of aging. $IC_{50}$ values for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities decreased with degree of aging. Based on these results, it is suggested that aged black chestnut inner shells were appropriate in terms of both physicochemical and antioxidative activities.

To produce low salt fermented anchovy by an accelerated method with Asp. oryzae and Bacillus sp. koji and taste properties after the 60 day fermentation were examined. The main free amino acids of 60 day fermented anchovy paste were valine, isoleucine, proline, alanine, lysine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Total amount of free amino acids was the highest in non koji anchovy paste wit 2,624.76mg%. Among the koji added samples, Asp. oryzae koji added on was the highest in the amount o free amino acids. Hypoxanthine accounted for 84.14~95.4% of total nucleotides and their related compounds; Asp. oryzae koji added anchovy paste was the highest in nucleotides other related. Citric acid and lactic acid accounted for 94.9~96.7% of total non-volatile organic acids; Asp. oryzae koji added sample was the highest in non-volatile organic acids with 287.93mg%. The Hunter a and b values gradually increased during the fermentation, but the L value decreased until day 30 or 40 and increased steadily after that. The a and b values were higher in the use of Asp. oryzae koji than in Bccillus sp. koji, but the L value was to the contrary. The Asp. oryzae koji added anchovy paste was good in the aspect of color and taste compared to others. In the aspect of odor, the anchovy paste using the mixture of Asp. oryzae and Bacillus sp. koji was the best. Overall aceptability of sensory evaluation was higher in the mixture of Asp. oryzae and Bacillus sp. koji tan in the others.

During storage of $45^{\circ}Bx$ cloudy, $50^{\circ}Bx\;and\;72^{\circ}Bx$ clear apple juice concentrates for 18 months, the changes in microbial counts and physicochemical properties were investigated. Little viable microbial counts were detected in $50^{\circ}Bx\;and\;72^{\circ}Bx$ clear concentrates during all storage time and a few in $45^{\circ}Bx$ cloudy concentrates during the only first storage stage. In all three concentrates, any changes were not found in pH and titrable acidity. But Hunter L values were decreased and a, b values were increased. Alcohol soluble color(ASC) were increased and vitamin C contents rapidly decreased, especially during the first three months. The contents and compositions of free sugars were showed a little change. It seemed that the change in ASC was more closely related with that of vitamin C contents than that of reducing sugar contents.

The DEFT (direct epifluorescent filter technique)/APC (aerobic plate count) test was utilized to screen powdered Ramen soup samples (RS-1, RS-2) whether or not they have been microbial-decontaminated. The initial microbial loads of commercially-packaged samples were log DEFT 6.46 (RS-1) and 7.05 (RS-2), but the viable bacterial counts were log APC 2.74 (RS-1) and 1.95 (RS-2), respectively; this finding showed that they have been already decontaminated by methods other than irradiation. The same samples were then subjected to gamma irradiation at 0, 5 and 10 kGy in order to evaluate the microbial and physicochemical changes during post-irradiation storage for 6 months under room conditions ($10{\pm}3^{\circ}C$). The DEFT count was constant in irradiated samples even at different doses, but APC decreased with dose increases; this implies that the log DEFT/APC increased in a linear fashion with dose. No coliforms, yeasts and molds were detected in any of the samples, whereas the initially detected aerobic bacteria ($5.49{\times}10^2CFU/g$) were inactivated by 5 kGy or more and no growth was observed during the subsequent storage period. The pH of RS-1 was reduced by irradiation (p<0.01), but increased (p<0.01) with increasing storage time. Irradiation induced a reduction in volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), whereas an increase in thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values was observed. The storage time proved more influential than irradiation up to 10 kGy in terms of changes in the VBN and Hunter’s color values of powdered Ramen soups.

Effect of combined use of anti-microbial materials, such as alcohol, mustard and chitosan, or pasteurization on the quality of low salted kochujang was investigated during storage at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. Activity of amylase decreased during storage, with lower activity in pasteurized kochujang than the other groups. Acidic protease activity increased during storage, but neutral protease activity decreased after 4 weeks. Viable cells of yeast increased during storage, but bacterial counts decreased gradually and did not show any remarkable difference among the test groups. Hunter a-values decreased as storage time increased, whereas L- and b-values decreased after 4 weeks and the degree of increase in total color difference (${\Delta}E$) was low in the supplementary ingredients added kochujang. The moisture contents and water activities decreased during storage with being lower in supplementary ingredients added groups. Titratable acidity of kochujang was decreased after 4 weeks of storage with the highest in combination of the supplementary ingredients added group. Oxidation-reduction potential was low in the supplementary ingredients added kochujang. Total sugar and reducing sugar contents of kochujang decreased during storage, with the highest contents in the supplementary ingredients added group. Ethanol content of kochujang increased during storage, whereas ethanol production was reduced in ethanol added one. Amino-nitrogen and ammonia-nitrogen contents decreased during storage with being lower in kochujang prepared with supplementary ingredients. Therefore, supplementary ingredients added kochujang would be effective for extending shelf-life of kochujang.

Cheonggukjang was prepared by addition of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) powder in order to improve its quality and functional properties. The physicochemical and sensory properties of Cheonggukjang added peanut powder were investigated, after adding the peanut powder with the amount of 5, 15 and 25% (w/w). The proximate composition of peanut powder was as follows: moisture, 1.80%; crude protein, 24.9%; crude lipid, 48.3%; crude ash, 2.90%; and carbohydrates, 22.1%. Crude protein and lipid content of Cheonggukjang increased with increaes in the amounts of peanut powder, while the moisture content decreased. Calcium and amino acid contents showed disparity depending on the increasing addition of peanut powder. Cheonggukjang containing 15% (w/v) peanut powder was found to be highest calcium contents. The major amino acids of Cheonggukjang were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, arginine and proline. Depending on increasing amounts of peanut powder, the L and b values (measured using Hunter's color values) were decreased, while the a value was increased. In addition, pH was decreased as the amount of peanut powder was increased. Sensory scores of Cheonggukjang containing 15% (w/v) peanut powder were best when considering both quality characteristics and sensory evaluation. This study suggested that peanut powder could enhance the quality and functionality of Cheonggukjang further.

Physicochemical properties of rice-based expanded snacks extruded with rice flour, high amylose starch, and isolated soy protein were investigated using a twin-screw extruder. The ingredients were extruded at various feed moisture contents (19~23%) and screw speeds (200~400 rpm) at a constant feed rate (43.4 kg/hr). Bulk density and apparent density of rice snacks were 0.06~0.21, and 0.55~0.65 respectively. Bulk density, apparent density, water absorption index, and breaking strength of rice snacks increased with increasing feed moisture content and decreasing screw speed. However, expansion and water solubility index of rice snacks increased with decreasing feed moisture content and increasing screw speed. Hunter's color L values of rice snacks was lower with increasing screw speed at feed moisture contents of 19% and 21%, but was not significantly different from a feed moisture content of 23%. On the other hand, a and b values of rice snacks were higher with increasing screw speed a feed moisture content of 19%. X-ray diffraction intensity of rice snacks decreased with decreasing feed moisture content and increasing screw speed. X-ray diffraction of rice snacks was V-type at feed moisture contents of 19% and 21% and screw speeds of 300, and 400 rpm. In the microstructure of the cross section of rice snacks, air cells in rice snacks were not well formed, and cell walls were thicker with increasing feed moisture content and decreasing screw speed.
