The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isolate soybean protein (ISP) and rice flour on the characteristics of rice noodles. As the levels of ISP and rice flour increased, water binding capacity, swelling power of rice noodle increased. In RVA, pasting temperature, Set back showed an increasing tendency with peak viscosity, holding viscosity, break down, final viscosity of rice noodle increased as the level of rice flour by decreasing. Peak time was not significant. The weight, water absorption and volume of the cooked noodles were decreased. The turbidity of rice noodle increased. The Hunter color L, a-values of the dried rice noodle decreased. Cooked rice noodle quality increased with by decreasing the level of rice flour level. B-values of dried rice noodle and cooked rice noodle increased. Texture profile analysis of cooked rice noodle showed an increase of hardness. Adhesiveness, cohesiveness of cooked rice noodles decreased with by decreasing the level of ISP and rice flour. Gumminess, springiness, chewiness were increased. Sensory evaluation, showed gloss was increased. Hardness and chewiness of the cooked ice noodles were increased. Adhesiveness was not significant. Color and overall- acceptability were increased. Relationship between sensory and mechanical examinations (The overall quality of sensory examination for gloss) had a negative correlation with the mechanical examination for b-value (p.0.05). Mechanical examination for b-value had a positive correlation of sensory evaluation for hardness, chewiness, which had negative correlation of sensory evaluation for color. Scanning Electron, Microscopes observation of rice noodle was showed that the size of the hole grown was increased with by increasing the level of rice flour. From the above results, the most advisable mixture ratio of rice noodle evaluation was can be derived as follows: 171g rice flour, 114g wheat flour, 15g soybean protein isolate, 120ml water, and 6g salt.

The effect of freeze drying and fixatives in post-treating freeze drying on the morphological properties of the rose (Rosa hybrida L.) petal were investigated for the production of high quality of freeze dried rose. The morphology including form and color of the dried flowers of cut rose were depended on the drying methods. The drying time was extended due to their density and water content, and was shorter in the freeze drying than that in the natural and hot air drying. Freeze dried process for dried flowers took 2 days in a freeze dryer and did not cause shrinkage or toughening of rose petal being dried, preserving its natural shape and color. The diameter of freeze dried flowers showed little reduction compared to fresh flowers. In Hunter color values of petals of freeze dried flowers, L and a values were high and showed little variations in comparison to fresh petals. Freeze drying led to a noticeable increase in anthocyanin contents in petals, suggesting that anthocyanin contents play an important role in the acquisition of freezing tolerance. Exposure of flowers to freeze drying was accompanied by an increase in the carotenoid content. In the post-treating freeze drying, epoxy resin, a fixative, applied alone or in combination to petals of freeze dried flowers showed efficient coating for the protection from humidity and sunlight. Combined application of epoxy and acetone to freeze dried petals permitted maintenance of natural color and excellent tissue morphology, showing color stability and shiny texture in surface of petals. These findings suggest that application of fixatives to freeze dried rose petals improves the floral preservation and epoxy coating provides good quality in the freeze dried flower product.

The production of black rice in Korea has been increasing, as more Koreans are tending to blend black rice with medium-grain rice for serving. This increased production creates an opportunity for developing new products. In this study, the properties of sponge cakes produced from a blend of black rice flour (BRF) and wheat flour (WF) are investigated. Black rice sponge cakes (BRSC) were produced with constant process variables (e.g. baking temperature, fermentation time and BRP content (10, 20 & 30%)). Proximate compositions, farinogram, amylogram and extensogram analyses of BRSC were determined by AACC method. BRSC color was expressed to Hunter L, a and b values using a colorimeter. Sensory properties were evaluated by a trained 5-member panel. Moisture contents in BRSC decreased with increasing contents of BRF, while ash and protein contents were increased. Farinograph and amylograph data did not differ significantly between treatments, while extensograph data decreased with increasing BRF contents. With increasing BRF contents, Hunter L value decreased, while Hunter a value increased. When using 20% of BRP, sensory scores of BRSC were the highest in color, flavor and taste. In conclusion, 20% of BRF would be the optimum amount for producing sponge cake with BRP and WF.

Physicochemival properties of ginseng roasted at 170 to $250^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Soluble solid contents in roast ginseng increased until $200^{\circ}C$, but decreased at higher temperature than $200^{\circ}C$. Contents of reducing sugar and protein were decreased and pH values were dropped, while optical density, acidic polysaccharide contents, precursor of brown pigments and hydrogen donating activities by DPPH were increased according to increasing in roast temperatures. The color distribution of roast ginseng expressed as Hunter L, a and b values demonstrated that lower L values and higher a values were observed according to higher temperature, but b values were almost not changed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different moisture addition and sugar on the quality of Nokcha-julpyun, during 24hrs. As the result of the Hunter's color values, lightness, redness and yellowness were increased slightly or not after 24hrs and showed middle levels in $30%{\sim}40%$ moisture addition groups. It seemed that the addition of sugar to Nokcha-julpyun affected the redness and yellowness of 40% and 45% moisture addition groups more than the other groups. In texture profile, springiness of Nokcha-julpyun was not different significantly among all the groups during storage. Cohesiveness was getting higher by increase of moisture level and getting lower by storage. Sugar addition seemed to lower the rate of decrease of cohesiveness. Chewiness and hardness were getting lower by increase of moisture level and getting higher during storage. In this case sugar addition seemed to interfere the Nokcha-julpyun to be hard. Adhesiveness showed to be decreased during storage, but didn't show any correlations with water level. Sugar addition to Nokcha-julpyun seemed to increase springiness and adhesiveness slightly. 35% moisture and sugar addition group had the lowest values in springiness, hardness and cohesiveness. Both 40% groups and 45% moisture and sugar addition group had high values in springiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness but had the lowest values in hardness and chewiness. In sensory evaluation, $30%{\sim}40%$ moisture addition groups showed good preferences in color, flavor, taste, tenderness and chewiness, and the 35% moisture and no sugar addition group showed the best overall acceptance among the groups. Above results indicated that moisture addition level with $30%{\sim}35%$ seems to give the best quality to Nokcha-julpyun added green tea powder with 6% level, and for the purpose to reduce the changes of texture profiles during storage, it is benefit to add sugar a little to Nokcha-julpyun.

Powders prepared from three different varieties of Korean ginseng (white, red and black) are consumed daily by many Koreans as a functional food material. These variants exert a variety of physiological effects. The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng prepared with three different types of ginseng powder. We conducted tests for ginsenosides content, Hunter's color values, mechanical characteristics, and sensory evaluation analysis. The ginsenosides of black ginseng were higher than those of white and red ginseng. The lightness of the black ginseng Yanggaeng was significantly less than the white, red, and control samples (p<0.05). We noted significant differences in Hunter's a and b values. With regard to the mechanical properties of the samples, we noted significant differences in gumminess (p<0.05), but no differences in hardness, springiness, chewiness, and cohesiveness were detected. The results of sensory evaluation showed that there were significant differences in the color, flavor, and overall quality of the samples (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in taste and texture. Overall, red ginseng Yanggaeng appeared to have the most commercial value for improving the Yanggaeng product.

In this study, the drying characteristics of medicinal (Ganoderma lucidum, Phellinus linteus) and edible (Pleurotus eryngii, Lentinus edodes) mushrooms were investigated. Their shrinkage ratios, Hunter's color values, and rehydration ratios were evaluated. Mushrooms were cut with rectangular (1 cm) and square ($1{\times}1cm$) shapes, and dried in the room temperature and at $50^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ using hot-air dryer. Initial moisture contents of edible mushrooms were higher than those of medicinal mushrooms, whereas final moisture contents were vice versa. Drying rate was the highest when drying at $70^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). Moreover the drying rate of square slices was higher than that of rectangular slices (p<0.05). The shrinkage ratios of both medicinal mushrooms and edible mushrooms were the least when drying at $50^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively (p<0.05). The changes of color values were less in the medicinal mushrooms dried in the room temperature than in the hot-air dried medicinal mushrooms (p<0.05). However, in case of edible mushrooms, the changes of color values were less in the hot-air dried mushrooms (p<0.05). Rehydration ratios of medicinal mushrooms dried at $50^{\circ}C$ was the highest (p<0.05). In contrast, rehydration ratios of edible mushrooms was the highest when drying in the room temperature (p<0.05). Thus, the hot-air drying at $50^{\circ}C$ would be suggested as the efficient drying method for both medicinal mushrooms and edible mushrooms.

This study was done to measure the color and catechins contents in processed teas using the whole bands (400~2500 nm) with near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS). The powder colors of 109 processed teas were measured with a colorimeter. The a/b ratios in Hunter color scale in processed teas accounted for about 98.9% of the variation in the fermentation degree(FD), indicating that the a/b ratio was a very useful trait for assessing fermentation degree. Also tea powders were scanned in the visible bands used with NIRSystem. The calibration equations for powder colors were developed using the regression method of modified partial least squares(MPLS) with the internal cross validation. The equations had low SECV (standard errors of cross-validation), and high $R^2$ (coefficient of determination in calibration) values with 0.996~1.00, indicating that the visible bands(400~700 nm) with NIRS could be used to rapidly measure the variables related to powder color and fermentation degree. Also another powders of 137 processed teas were scanned at 780~2500 nm bands in the reflectance mode. The calibration equations were developed using the regression method of MPLS with the internal cross validation. The equations had low SECV, and high $R^2$ (0.896~0.983) values, showing that NIRS could be used to rapidly discriminate the contents of EGC($R^2$=0.919), EC(0.896), EGCg(0.978), ECg(0.905) and total catechins(0.983) in processed teas with high precision and ease.
