The physicochemical properties of rice flour and textural properties of cooked rices between Chungmubyeo and Dongjinbyeo were compared. The protein contents of Chungmubyeo and Dongjinbyeo were 7.9% and 8.8%, and the crude and total lipid were 0.82%, 0.65% and 2.34%, 1.66% respectively. The amylose content was 21.1% in Chungmubyeo and 20.2% in Dongjinbyeo. The hardness of rice grain was higher in Dongjinbyeo while water absorption was higher in Chungmubyeo. The sensory evaluation of cooked rice made from Chungnubyeo was significantly higher in shininess, roasted nutty flavor, hardness and overall eating quality than that from Dongjinbyeo. The hardness of cooked rices by rheometer was increased during storage and was lower in Chungmubyeo than Dongjinbyeo.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of Eungi, which is used as a breakfast or health food. We manufactured lotus root starch and Eungi by a traditional method and discovered that the viscosity of Eungi with 4-5% starch content was similar to fermented milk. When the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptability of a Eungi beverage combined with different amounts (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) of lotus root starch were investigated, consumer acceptability was highest with Eungi combined with 0.5% starch and 6% sugar. When the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptability of Eungi beverage combined with different extract bases were investigated, the acceptability of taste and texture was highest with purple sweet potato extract and the acceptability of color was highest with omija extracts.

This study was conducted in order to promote the utilization of Hovenia dulcis Thunb as food. The physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of the extracts from the leaf, fruit, stalk and stem were examined. The extract of stem was the brightest in L value (p<0.05), but the lowest in b value (p<0.01). By the sensory evaluation, the external appearance was the best in the extract of stem. The extract of leaf was the darkest in color and that of stem the lightest. The bitter and astringent taste was stronger from the leaf compared with other parts. The extract of fruits stalk of Korean Hovenia dulcis was preferred in most of attributes. The total sugar content was the highest from the fruits stalk. Among free amino acids, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and alanine were rich in order. Potassium contents were the highest among minerals from the fruits stalk, leaf and stem. Ca and Mg followed the next. The results were the same both in Korean and in Chinese tree. Among organic acids, malic acid was the most in the fruits stalk, leaf and stem. It was followed by citric acid. In the test of free sugar, glucose was the most and followed by sucrose and fructose in the fruits stalk. Fructose was contained the most in leaf and stem.

Twelve varieties of Korean rice and ten varieties of Japanese rice were selected. After being milled. they were analyzed about various physicochemical properties such as moisture, protein and amylose, a -amylase activity, gelatinization properties. And after being cooked with proper amount of water texture and other physical properties were measured by Texturometer, Tensipresser and Rheolograph-micro. Finally the sensory evaluation test was carried out. The results were as follows. 1. In case of protein contents, amylose contents and $\alpha$-amylase activity, Korean rice had a slightly higher value than Japanese As a consequence. Korean rice showed a little stronger hardness and a little weaker stickiness compared with Japanese rice. 2. Amylose contents showed very high correlation with other physicochemical properties and peak viscosity and gelatinization temperature of RVA, the ratio of stickiness to hardness( -Hl/Hl ) of Texturometer and the tan $\delta$(the ratio of dynamic loss to dynamic viscoelasticity) of Rheolograph-micro showed high correlation with other analyzed properties. 3. The ( -/+)work balance of low compression test(25% ) of Tensipresser analysis(texture analysis on the surface of cooked rice) and tan f of Rheolograph-micro showed very high correlation with sensory evaluation results. By using this parameters as major independent variables, some trials to derive high confidence multiple regression equations were accomplished. By the equations it would be possible to make an approximate pre-estimate of eating quality for unknown japonica rice.

Fruit juices such as grape juice are associated with healthy products by consumers because of the many health benefits they provide. Farm produced (FPGJ) and commercially produced grape juice (CPGJ) in South Korea were compared and studied through the evaluation of their physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties. The results of this study show that FPGJ's physicochemical properties are more varied than CPGJ. The pH, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids of FPGJ were higher than CPGJ. FPGJ had a higher mean value for total phenolics ($2,558.20{\pm}50.06\;mg/L$ GAE), total flavonoid ($3,236.80{\pm}56.11\;mg/L$), total anthocyanin ($559.88{\pm}3.51\;mg/L$), and radical scavenging activity (86.48%) than CPGJ, although the differences were significant only with regard to total flavonoid and total anthocyanin. This study also demonstrates that CPGJ is preferred in terms of sensory evaluation. These properties may be used as a basis for the optimization of processing to produce a higher quality grape juice.

This study was carried out to investigate physicochemical properties of different concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5%) of red ginseng hydrolyzates (RGH)- or red ginseng extract (RGE)-added Asiago cheeses (AC) during ripening at $14^{\circ}C$ for 4 months. The moisture content significantly increased with increasing concentrations of both RGH- and RGE-added AC (p<0.05). While RGHAC and RGEAC were more yellow and darker with increasing concentrations than that of control (p<0.05), the color was not influenced from the hydrolysis. In texture analysis, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness of RGHAC and RGEAC significantly decreased compared to the control during the ripening (p<0.05). In sensory analysis, bitterness and ginseng flavor and taste scores increased significantly with increasing the concentrations of RGH and RGE during ripening (p<0.05). In conclusion, the addition of RGH and RGE into cheese slightly influenced the properties of Asiago cheese, and similarities were observed between RGHAC and RGEAC. Thus, the lower concentrations (0.1% to 0.3%) of RGH and RGE added to AC were preferred for color, texture, and sensory during the ripening, therefore, these cheeses would be worth developing commercially.

The seaweed Hizikia fusiformis is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. We investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng made with agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) of H. fusiformis powder. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of the yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture and sugar contents of the yanggaeng did not change despite increasing the amount of H. fusiformis. The pH decreased with increasing H. fusiformis. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of H. fusiformis. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing H. fusiformis content. The antioxidant activity of the yanggaeng increased with the concentration of the H. fusiformis powder. The yanggaeng containing 2% H. fusiformis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. The addition of H. fusiformis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng prepared from agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%) of Pyropia yezoensis powder. The moisture, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture content of yanggaeng did not change despite the increasing amount of P. yezoensis. The pH and sugar content decreased with increasing P. yezoensis concentration. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of P. yezoensis. Regarding texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness decreased with increasing P. yezoensis content. The antioxidant activity of yanggaeng increased with increasing concentrations of P. yezoensis powder. Yanggaeng containing 2.5% P. yezoensis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. Therefore, the addition of P. yezoensis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

Baikseolgi was made with Kugija powder with the intention to take advantage of its functional properties. Appropriate amount of Kugija powder (0$\sim$8%) was mixed with rice flour, sugar, salt, and water and then, steamed for predetermined time and their physicochemical and sensory properties were measured. pH decreased significantly while titratable acidity increased significantly with the addition of Kugija (p<0.05). The addition of Kugija powder did not significantly affect the moisture content (p>0.05) although it appeared to decrease with the higher amount of Kugija. Lightness (L-value) decreased significantly with the addition of Kugija (p<0.05), indicating that the color of Baikseolgi became dark as also indicated by the visual observation. Redness (a-value) and yellowness (b-value), on the other hand, increased significantly as the amount of Kugija increased in the sample (p<0.05). Both hardness and firmness decreased significantly with the addition of Kugija (p<0.05). Eight percentage Kugija Baikseolgi was significantly stronger in Kugija flavor (7.9), chewiness (6.1), sweetness (5.0), and yellowness (8.2) attributes than other samples, whereas control was significantly higher in mouthfeel (6.0) and hardness (6.0) attributes than others (p<0.05). Finally, consumer test indicated that 4% Kugija sample received the highest score in appearance (8.13) and overall acceptability (8.07) attributes.

To develop functionally and nutritionally improved whole soybean curd (WSC), the effects of partial (0~4%) replacement with pine needle powder (PNP) on the quality characteristics of WSC were investigated. The moisture content and pH ranged from 76.96~77.80% (wet basis) and 6.69~6.74, respectively, with no considerable differences. Lightness significantly decreased with higher PNP content in the formulation (P<0.05), as indicated by visual observation that the color of WSC became darker. Redness and yellowness also significantly decreased (P<0.05). The texture profile analysis indicated that WSC containing PNP was softer and less cohesive than control WSC. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activities significantly increased (P<0.05) with higher substitution of PNP, and they were well correlated. Results from the consumer test revealed that WSC with 1% PLP received the most favorable acceptance scores for sensory attributes, including overall acceptability. The present study indicated that the characteristics of PNP may play a role in improving WSC quality in terms of physicochemical, sensorial, and antioxidant characteristics.
