The present study investigated the relationship between physical conditions and sensory properties of red pepper powder stored at different temperatures ($-20^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$) and in different wrap materials (linear low density polyethylene, LLDPE; aluminum/linear low density polyethylene, Al/LLDPE). Red pepper powders with initial moisture contents of $17.35{\pm}0.32$% were not affected by the packaging material or storage temperature. Hunter a values of red pepper powder decreased while Hunter b values increased as storage temperature increased. There were no significant differences according to packaging materials. The American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) color value ($60.85{\pm}0.13$) significantly decreased with increasing temperature from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$ ($21.70{\pm}0.06$ to $56.03{\pm}0.24$). The ASTA color value of samples packed with LLDPE ($21.70{\pm}0.06$) decreased more compared to samples packed with other materials. Further, capsanthin contents ($13.74{\pm}0.02$ mg/100 g) significantly decreased with increasing temperature from $-20^{\circ}C$ ($0.25{\pm}0.01$ to $0.28{\pm}0.01$ mg/100 g) to $20^{\circ}C$ ($0.13{\pm}0.01$ to $0.25{\pm}0.01$ mg/100 g). In the sensory evaluation of red pepper powder, overall acceptability was influenced by redness, yellowness, and pungency color. All physicochemical and sensory properties of red pepper powder were compared. Hunter a values, ASTA color values, and capsanthin contents were significantly associated with sensory preferences. In particular, ASTA color value showed a close relationship with color preference for red pepper (R2=0.922). Thus, we suggest that the preference for red pepper powder can be determined based on instrumental measurements of Hunter a values, ASTA color values, and capsanthin contents.

Red ginseng extracts accounted for the major precipitating material in red ginseng drink prepared with various components and pasteuralized at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Precipitates in red ginseng extracts isolated by centrifugation were investigated for its chemical components and physicochemical properties. Recovery of precipitates in red ginseng extracts was 1.59% on a dry weight basis. Precipitates were composed of starch (71.47%), crude protein (21.75%), pectin (1.70%), polyphenol (2.97%) and calcium (3.83 ppm) but ginsenosides were not present. Absorption peak at 285 nm which appeared in red ginseng extracts was absent in the precipitates. pH and Hunter L value of the precipitates decreased, while Hunter a and b values increased in contrast to red ginseng extracts. Precipitates were solubilized to some extent in polar solvent. The shape of precipitate particle was round, sciral or irregular square. Particle size of precipitates varied from 0.17 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 41.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in length.

Meat color, general composition and Putting force of Korean native Ogol fowls were investigated. These results were as follows. The contents of moisture and crude protein were higher in breast than in thigh. However, the contents of crude fat and fiber were higher in thigh than in breast. There were no significant differences in these contents with weeks of age. L, a, b value of Korean native Ogol fowls were showed grey by Hunter Color Solid. Cutting force of thigh was greater than that of breast. Also, cutting force of male was greater than that of female. Those cutting forces were increased as weeks of age increased.

Silk fibroin (SF) films were prepared using various plasticizers and their physical properties were determined. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-SF and polypropylene glycol (PPG)-SF films had tensile strengths (TS) of 23.71 MPa and 24.51 MPa, respectively, whereas the glycerol (G)-SF film had the lowest TS of 14.24 MPa. G-SF film had the highest $\%$ elongation, compared to PPG-SF and PEG-SF films. Water vapor permeability (WVP) of SF films varied with addition of plasticizers, and PEG-SF film had the lowest WVP. There was no significant difference in Hunter L value among treatments, but PEG-SF film had higher Hunter a and b values. These results suggest that SF film could be applied to food packaging and that the addition of plasticizers should improve the physical properties of SF film.

The current study was conducted to identify relationship between myosin heavy chain I to objective color dimensions. Myosin heavy chain I isoform showed coefficients of determinant($r^2$) of 0.54 and 0.40 for Hunter a* and b* values. For he current dataset, Hunter a* value at day 1 had higher relationships with that at both day 7 and 14, emphasizing the importance of initial meat color which is largely affected by animal management prior to slaughter.

Two kinds of sweet potato puree were prepared with Benihayato cultivar of yellow sweet potato with or without $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment. Chemical and rheological properties of enzyme-treated puree were different from those of control puree. Reducing sugar content and iodine value increased by $\alpha$-amylase enzyme treatment, while alcohol insoluble solids and viscosity decreased by enzyme treatment. However, the changes of carotenoid content were not significantly different. Hunter-b-values(yellowness) were 27.19 and 23.54 for no enzyme-treated puree(NTP) and enzyme-treated puree(ETP), respectively. Hunter-a values(redness) were 2.24 and 6.05 for NTP abd ETP, respectively. Content of total carotenoid of canned puree heated at 13$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min decreased by 59 percents.

The dried cinnamon was extracted with water and 70% ethanol and studied for the several extraction conditions of temperature, time, solvent addition ratio and number of extraction on mineral components and physical properties of the extracts. Mineral components significantly increased as the extraction temperature increased. More than 8 hours of extraction showed a little improving while solvent ratio (V/W) up to 60 times (V/W) significantly increased the mineral components, particularly Cu, Zn, Fe, Na in water extracts and Fe, Mn, K in 70% ethanol extracts. Absorbance at 285 mm decreased as the temperature raised up to the range of $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. The Hunter a-value was much affected with extraction conditions and L-value and transmittance were changed similarily while pH was little changed.

This study was developed a computer-controlled automatic drying system. In order to control automatically the temperature, relative humidity weight of the sample, drying system with computer and connecting parts such as microcomputer, PC-Lab card, Op. Amp., and relay system were developed for controlling the heater, fan, humidifier and dehumidifier. Using this system, drying characteristic mechanism of ginseng were investigated. The increase of drying temperature decreased Hunter L value and increased a and b value. The hardness and shrinkage rate of white ginseng had a increasing tendency with the increase of drying temperature. Crude saponin content was not affected by drying temperature and relative humidity.

This study compared the food quality of salmonid fishes according to the species, country of origin, and separated part, such as fillet and frame. The proximate composition of chum salmon from Norway (CS-N) was 74.4% moisture, 19.5% crude protein, 4.2% crude lipid, and 1.2% ash. These values were within roughly 1% for the other salmon species. There was no significant difference (at P<0.05) in the Hunter a value of salmon muscle according to sepatated parts. However, there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in Hunter a value of salmon muscle according to the species and country of origin. There were significant differences in odor intensity and hardness of the salmon according to the species. The major free amino acid in all of the salmon muscles was anserine, which ranged from 61.3 to 73.0%. The taste value was the highest for salmon imported from Alaska (CS-A), followed by pink salmon, CS-N, and muscle separated from the frame (AS-C). In the taste value of all salmon muscles, the major amino acid was glutamic acid. The total amino acid content of salmon muscles ranged from 18.36 to 19.64 g/100 g, and the major amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. There were differences in the mineral contents, including Ca, P, K, and Fe, and fatty acid composition of salmon muscle according to species.

Electron beam irradiation was applied to examine the microbial safety and qualities of sliced dried squid. Sliced dried squid was irradiated at dose of 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 kGy. Microorganisms contaminated in sliced dried squid were significantly decreased by irradiation. Decimal reduction dose (D/sub 10/ value) of total bacteria count, yeast and mold, coliforms in sliced dried squid were 8.57, 4.60, and 8.10 kGy, respectively. Electron beam irradiation caused negligible changes in Hunter color L, a, and b value. Sensory evaluations of irradiated sliced dried squid showed that there were no significant changes among the samples. These results indicate that electron beam irradiation improves the microbial safety and qualities of sliced dried squid.
