This study was carried out to investigate gel forming and degradation properties (suwari and modori phenomena) of chicken surimi from mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) at various setting temperatures and time. Chicken surimi was manufactured by a continuous process including chopping of MDCM, washing with 5% NaCl solution or pure water, standing, straining and centrifuging etc. Total process of washing for the MDCM from chopping to centrifuging was repeated over 3 cycles. Gel from prepared surimi were formed at $90^{\circ}C$ for 30 min after various setting treatments. The textural properties of gels were measured at the temperature ranges of low (10$^{\circ}C$), medium (25$^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$) and high (45 to 70$^{\circ}C$). The compressive force (CF), hardness and fracturability of surimi gel at 10$^{\circ}C$ increased as setting time increased, and showed the highest value at 30 h of setting time. The CF and hardness of chicken surimi gel at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 30$^{\circ}C$ showed the highest values at 10 h of setting time. Most of gel strengths including CF, and texture profile analysis (TPA) values showed the highest levels in the range 47.5 to 52.5$^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). The gel strength at 60$^{\circ}C$ increased slightly at 30 min, but then continued to decrease with longer setting times. There was no increase of gel strength at $70^{\circ}C$, but only a continuous decrease over setting time. In conclusion, suwari (gel setting) and modori (gel degradation) phenomena occur during the gel formation of surimi from MDCM. The temperature range in chicken surimi was 47.5 to 52.5$^{\circ}C$ for suwari and 60 to 70$^{\circ}C$ for modori.

The present study was performed to expand the application of mechanically impacting technology reported in our previous studies. Several parameters were analyzed to research Korean indigenous pigmented rice. The proximate composition of Korean indigenous rice was the following; 12.0-13.4% moisture, 74.1-77.3% carbohydrate, 6.8-8.7% crude protein, 1.68-3.25% crude lipid, 0.78-1.38% crude ash, with a 6.6-7.07 pH value. The phenolic compound content of red rice was twice that of black rice. Moreover, antioxidative activity was estimated by DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.15-1.04 mg/mL). Anthocyanin and chlorophyll in each pigmented rice type were detected by spectrophotometer. Garaedduk samples were prepared with non-waxy rice, salt, 24% water, and/or 15% indigenous pigmented rice(red, green and black, w/w of total swelling non-waxy rice) and adapted with or without mechanically impacting technology. Hardness, as a main texture profile parameter of Garaedduk was maintained up to 3 days under storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that Korean indigenous pigmented rice can be applied for functional Garaedduk adapted with mechanically impacting technology.

This research investigated variation in the improvement of the texture of chicken and pork sausages induced by microbial transglutaminase (MTG). The extractability of myofibrillar proteins from these sausages as well as the ${\varepsilon}-({\gamma}-glutamyl)$lysine (G-L)　content were also investigated. MTG treatment of sausages significantly increased the breaking strength values in both meat types, especially for samples incubated at $40^{\circ}C$. However, values of the breaking strength in both meat types were increased differently. The variation in protein extractability of samples incubated at $40^{\circ}C$ for both meat types could lead to some consideration of the mechanisms and the high accessions of myosin heavy chain (MHC) to MTG. SDS-PAGE analysis showed significant changes in the density of the bands after adding MTG, especially for the pork samples in which the bands disappeared totally. The G-L content in the presence of MTG was double that in control samples of both meat types. This study suggests that the binding ability of myofibrillar proteins with MTG is strong. This leads us to suggest that MTG functions positively with different improvements in the texture of chicken and pork products that are treated mechanically, such as sausages. Variability in gel improvement level between chicken and pork sausages was observed; this resulted from the variation in meat proteins in response to MTG, as well as to the original glutamyl and lysine content.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of frozen Tteokgalbi made from spent laying hen meat and mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM). The samples were prepared with different levels of added MDCM; C (0%), T1 (20%), T2 (40%), and T3 (60%). The samples were allocated for microbiological and physico-chemical analyses after 0, 45, and 90 days at $-18^{\circ}C$, with or without vacuum packaging. After 90 days of storage, the values of volatile basic nitrogen were significantly lower in the vacuum packaged samples compared to the non-vacuum samples, irrespective of the added levels of MDCM (p<0.05). Sensory results at day 0 of storage showed that the texture scores of C and T1 samples were significantly higher than those of T2 and T3, while the flavor scores were the lowest for the T3 samples (p<0.05). In addition, with increased storage duration, the texture and flavor attributes of the vacuum-packaged samples were found to be higher than those of non-vacuum samples. In general, the vacuum-packaged samples tended to show superior physico-chemical quality characteristics compared to the non-vacuum samples, when the storage time was extended up to 90 days.

In this paper, we report a new manufacturing method for friction reduction using micro-AAJ (abrasive air-jet) machining. AAJ machining employs compressed air to accelerate a jet of high-speed particles to mechanically machine features, including micro-channels and micro-holes, into glass, metal, or polymer substrates for use in microfluidics, MEMS (micro electromechanical systems). And we introduce the micro-AAJ machining system, which consists of a micro-AAJ nozzle and a five-axis positioning system. Various micro-AAJ nozzles can be used, depending on the required surface structure, and three-dimensional machining is possible. We machined samples under six different conditions and describe machining results obtained while using it. We also measured the coefficient of friction of micro-textured surfaces. We report the coefficient of friction of micro-textured surfaces patterned using micro-AAJ machining for engine piston ring.

Masticatory function is more important than esthetics in posterior fixed restoration. The usual technique-mounting the casts on a semi-adjustable articulator, etc. -cannot make all patients satisfied with their restorations. For example, functionally generated path technique can be an easier and more satisfactory method in the restoration of group function. These clinical reports describe various approaches for occlusal restoration of relatively simple posterior fixed protheses according to patients occlusal patterns. The 3-unit bridge restoration is one of the most popular treatment options in prosthodontics. Because dentists have much experiences of it, they restore a missing span of one tooth mechanically, that is, without special consideration. While esthetics is important in making an anterior 3-unit fixed prostheses, mastication is more focused on in posterior 3-unit bridge restoration. Many dentists are concerned about various aspects in esthetics, such as morphology of the tooth, value, chroma, hue, translucency, surface texture, etc. But they do not usually consider various methods to restore occlusion. They treat one-tooth-missing area in a similar way in spite of patients having variety of occlusal patterns. Three cases are presented here in 3 or 4-unit bridge restoration. They show some methods to restore patients' occlusal patterns.

Freeze-dried Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $185^{\circ}C$ for 14 min in a convection oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 30 min and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. Lightness $(L^*)$ decreased significantly as the E. cava powder content increased (p<0.05) and a decreasing trend in both redness ($a^*$-value) and yellowness ($b^*$-value) was observed. On the other hand, firmness increased significantly with an increase in E. cava powder content (p<0.05). Increases in E. cava powder concentration up to 6% in the cookie formulation significantly increased the intensities of all sensory attributes such as color, flavor, taste, and firmness (p<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the E. cava concentration correlated significantly with most of the properties except for $a^*$-value (p<0.01, 0.05, or 0.001). Properties such as firmness and sensory color and firmness correlated positively while $L^*$- and $b^*$-value correlated negatively with E. cava concentration. Sensory color correlated negatively with $L^*$- and $b^*$-value. Sensory firmness correlated positively with mechanically measured firmness.

Chicken patties and frankfurters were manufactured by varying the relative proportion of MDM to HDM as raw materials, and their palatability, shelf-life and textural properties were evaluated. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Chicken patty containing MDM slowed gradual increase in TBA value during frozen storage, but its storage up to g weeks presented no problems in flavor stability. 2. Color score and total palatability of chicken patty were best for the product containing 30% MDM. It was also concluded that MDM can be included in the patties up to 50% of total meat with good results, but more than 70% was not recommended. 3. The formulation of MDM up to 50% in frankfurter gave a quite satisfactory acceptability and textural properties compararable to frankfurter made of 100% HDM, but the inclusion of more than 70% MDM was not recommended. 4. The TBA value of frankfurter containg MDM did not increase to any great extent until 4 weeks of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, indicating no unique problems in flavor instability compared to regular frankfurter. 5. It was concluded that processed meat products such as patties and frankfurters containing MDM up to $30{\sim}35%$ of total meat ingredients gave satisfactory results in color, texture and palatability, comparable to regular products.

This study was carried out to compare the textural properties of crab-flavored sausage manufactured with six different formulations. We prepared crab-flavored sausage from Alaska pollack surimi as a control by the washing method, and various mixtures of surimi and chicken breast meat were manufactured (pH 11.0) with 33.33% chicken breast meat (CBM) (T1), 50% CBM (T2), 66.66% CBM (T3), 100% CBM (T4) and 20% commercial mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) (T5). Brittleness, gumminess, chewiness, breaking force, gel strength, jelly strength, sensory flavor. texture, and overall acceptability were significantly lower in the formulations containing chicken meat in proportion to the % CBM (p<0.05). However, cohesiveness and springiness were significantly higher in the formulations containing chicken meat in proportion to the amount of CBM (p<0.05). Folding test and deformation values were significantly lower in the surimi manufactured with CBM at pH 11.0. although T5 showed no significant differences relative to the control. Overall, these results indicate that similar textural properties in the crab-flavored sausage were attained when surimi was prepared with 20% CBM and MDCM.

In this study, $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid, which is a constituent of natural moisturizing factor, was applied to skin in periodic cycle to improve skin tone and texture roughness. Based on the polarity of the alkyl group (R) of the $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid, the acid was categorized into two groups and their efficacy was studied. As a result, it was found that the improvement rate of $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid complex with polar alkyl group ($L-{\alpha}-AAC-1$) is 21% higher than that of $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid complex with non-polar alkyl group ($L-{\alpha}-AAC-2$). For clinical trials, emulsions containing $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid complex ($L-{\alpha}-AAC-1$) were applied to the randomly selected 20 to 40 year old female participants, as an experimental group, on the right facial cheek once per day for 8 weeks, and emulsions without $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid complex, as a control group, were applied to the left facial cheek in the same way. Improvements in skin tone were measured using $JANUS^{(R)}$ equipment and analyzed using image analysis software. Skin texture improvement was measured and analyzed mechanically using the phaseshift rapid in-vivo measurement of the skin (PRIMOS) equipment. As a result, improvements of skin tone and skin texture were 11.7% and 6.7%, respectively. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted to the participants on the aesthetic improvement and the degree of the feeling of skin improvement. The results suggest that $L-{\alpha}-amino$ acid can be used as a cosmetic substance that can provide aesthetic satisfaction through physiological skin tone and texture roughness.
