This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of noodles made from four different potato varieties: Atlantic, Go-un, Sae-bong, Jin-sun, and wheat flour. Quality characteristics of five noodles were analyzed by general components analysis, cooking quality (rate of water absorption, cooking loss, and volume increase), and mechanical textural properties. Some variations existed in wheat- or potato-based noodles for the general components analysis, but no clear trend was observed. Higher values in the rates of water absorption, cooking loss, and volume increase were observed for the wheat flour noodle, while some variations were observed for potato noodles depending on the variety. The wheat flour noodles exhibited higher values of textural characteristics obtained from the texture profile analysis, except for adhesiveness. Higher gluten contents as well as lower ash contents in the wheat flour noodles compared to the potato noodles are thought to be the two key factors contributing to this finding.

As a series of studies on improving quality of seasoned-dried Pacific saury, fatty acid compositions and taste compounds of the seasoned-dried saury treated with liquid smoke (T2 product) were examined during storage, comparing with control (C, seasoning only). In the both samples, the major fatty acids were 22:6n-3, 16:0, 22: In-11I, 20: In-11, 18: In-9, 14:0, 20:5 n-3 and 16:1n-7. The contents of saturated fatty acids in C and T2 increased with increasing storage period, while those of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased. After drying, the contents of 7 non-volatile organic acids contents detected in this study decreased, and the others of non-volatile organic acids, except for malic and citric acids, in both C and T2 decreased with storage period. The contents of nucleotides and their related compounds in both C and T2 decreased with increasing storage period. The content of total free amino acids in raw sample was 556.96 mg/100g and increased up to 895.77 mg/l00 g and 958.40 mg/100g in C and T2, respectively, after drying, and total contents of free amino acids in both C and T2 somewhat decreased after 60 days of storage.

This study was conducted to reduce children's fat intake and to establish healthy dietary lifestyles. To achieve these goals, we searched, collected, and analyzed the materials related to the fat education, based on which the research personnel-professors and graduate students in nutrition and child education and elementary school teachers-discussed to figure out major topics, objectives, and detailed contents and activities appropriate for fat intake reduction. We also organized an advisory committee composed of 15 professionals in related fields to discuss the adequacy and validity of the specific contents. Finally, we systematically organized the contents and developed children's textbooks and teacher's guidebooks. Considering the different cognitive development stages of junior and senior elementary students we developed two different textbooks for each of them which are easy to read and understand, fun to play with lots of activities, and designed to practice into daily life. The contents cover three major topics-the concept of lipid, lipid in food, lipid in life and are composed of 6 units in total. To help teachers understand and and to instruct, teacher's guidebooks contain an overview of the education, specific information and practical guidelines for each class. We developed these education materials with the aim of lowering children's fat consumption and eventually promoting their health welfare; hopefully we expect these materials would be useful for children's nutritional education in the field.

The changes of resistant starch (RS) contents of cooked rice with soybean and coconut oils under different storage conditions were investigated and RS contents were compared between the rice and cooker types. The japonica (Hopyeong) and the indica (Thailand) type rice were cooked (washed rice: water = 100: 130) using an electric cooker and a saucepan. The coconut oil and soybean oil (3%, based on rice, w/w) were added into cooking water before heating. The RS contents of freeze-dried cooked rice powders (newly-cooked rice, stored for 12 h in the refrigerator, microwave heating after storage for 12 h in the refrigerator) were measured by the AOAC method. The RS contents of cooked rice using a saucepan were higher than those using an electric cooker. The indica type cooked rice had a higher RS content than the japonica type cooked rice, regardless of storage conditions. However, addition of oil before cooking rice resulted in increased RS content on storage in the refrigerator. The highest RS content of the cooked indica type rice with soybean oil ($5.89{\pm}0.22%$) that was stored for 12 h in the refrigerator was analyzed. The results suggested that the cooked rice formed retrograded (RS3) and amylose-lipid complex (RS5) type RS; furthermore, the RS content is affected by storage conditions, rice, cooker and oil types.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the radical scavenging activities and total polyphenols, flavonoids, and flavonol contents of takju, a Korean traditional rice wine. The antioxidant properties of the wine and takju samples were evaluated using five distinct assays: specifically, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS); hydroxyl; superoxide anion; and nitric oxide (NO) radical-scavenging activity assays. In this study, the takju evidenced strong scavenging activities against the hydroxyl, superoxide anion, and NO radicals. Furthermore, the total polyphenol contents of T-2 were similar to those previously observed in white wine (p<0.05). However, the flavonoids and flavonol contents of all takju samples were significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of white wine. The results of this study show that takju possesses a powerful radical scavenging activity against a variety of oxidative systems. The findings of this study also indicate that takju should be considered a useful antioxidant, and that their functional compound reduces oxidative stress.

This study aims to develop the processed foods with chestnut and support their commercialization. Interview was performed with owner of Gongju chestnut food processing company and sensory evaluation was carried out by 103 male and female adults aged 20-70 using Likert 5 point scale-scoring test for chestnut processed food items developed. Nutrient contents of processed foods with chestnut were analyzed by Korea Food Research Institute. Commercialization support contents were high calorie low nutrition distinction, nutrition facts production and expiration date determination. We suggested 27 kinds of feasible chestnut processed foods. Among these, 10 items, chestnut pudding, chestnut glutinous rice cake bread, chestnut poundcake, chestnut burrito, chestnut millet pancake, chestnut soup, Yulpyeon, chestnut yakgwa, chestnut yeot, and chestnut yanggaeng were selected after consultants' assessment. Considering sensory evaluation, consultants' opinions, and company owners' opinion and status, chestnut poundcake and chestnut yakgwa were ultimately selected for commercialization support. Nutrient contents showed that chestnut pound cake and chestnut yakgwa were not high calorie low nutrition food. Expiration date was 10 days for chestnut pound cake and 6 months for chestnut yakgwa. By developing chestnut processed foods with high marketability, and supporting immediate commercialization, it is expected to increase high added value of chestnut.

Pineapple flesh and core were added during fermentation to develop a new style of fruit makgeolli. Physicochemical characteristics were measured during fermentation, and sensory evaluation was performed after fermentation to estimate the quality of pineapple makgeolli. No significant differences were observed for pH, $^{\circ}Bx$, and alcohol contents between makgeolli with and without pineapple after fermentation. Total acidity of the pineapple makgeolli increased due to considerable elevation of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and pyroglutamic acid contents as well as slight elevation of lactic acid and propionic acid contents. On the other hand, the total amino acid contents of pineapple makgeolli were lower than those of control. The sensory preferences for pineapple makgeolli were higher overall than those for control, which can be attributed to the preferences for fruit flavor and sour taste in pineapple makgeolli.
