The effects of hot-air dried tomato powder (HADTP) with 0% (C), 0.25 (T1), 0.50 (T2), 0.75 (T3) and 1.00% (T4) addition to the pork patties on the physicochemical and sensory properties during storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 20 days were studied. Cooking loss, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and CIE $L^*$ values of all products were increased (p<0.05) significantly as the storage period increased, while the pH values were decreased (p<0.05). The CIE $a^*$ and $b^*$value of all samples showed a tendency of decreasing value through the storage days. The pH and cooking loss of T4 were significantly lower (p<0.05) than those of other treatments. The TBARS values of treatments were significantly lower (p<0.05) compared to those of control, but CIE $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of treatments were higher (p<0.05) than those of control at day 20 of storage. VBN values of treatments were significantly lower (p<0.05) than those of control at day 20 of storage. In the sensory evaluation, color and overall acceptability in T3 and T4 were higher (p<0.05) than the others until 15 days of storage. In conclusion, pork patties with 0.75~1.00% HADTP had a higher acceptability, redness and lipid oxidative stability during freeze storage than products without HADTP.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of macaron with Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (OP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of macaron with different amounts (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%) of OP were examined. The quality of macarons was evaluated based on spread factor, baking loss rate, color, texture, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation. As amount of OP addition increased, spread factor and a value increased, whereas baking loss rate, and L and b values decreased (p<0.05). For texture properties, hardness, springiness, and brittleness were lower as OP content increased while cohesiveness and gumminess were not significantly different (p<0.05). For total polyphenolic contents, DPPH and reducing power significantly increased upon addition of OP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation of macarons, scores for color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance were highest with 4% OP, whereas macaron containing 6% OP showed the lowest scores for taste and texture (p<0.05). These data suggest that addition of 4% OP is the optimal concentration for making macaron.

In this study, white bread was prepared with Shinan seomcho powder (SSP). Different amounts of SSP were tested (2, 4, 6 and 8%) to determine the optimal amount. The samples and a control were compared for quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities. As the SSP increased, the total titratable acidity of the dough decreased (pH increased), and a decreased specific volume and baking loss was observed as well. However, the total titratable acidity and pH of the bread did not show significant differences among the samples. The moisture content was highest at a substitution level of 8%, and increased with increasing SSP contents. The crumb L value, a value, and resilience decreased with increasing SSP, whereas the crumb b value and hardness increased. Color, flavor, softness and overall acceptability were highest for the control group and were lowest for the 8% group. This likely reflects the high value of a grassy flavor, green tea taste, bitterness, astringency, and off-flavor at addition level of 8%. As a results, the optimum amount of SSP to add for baking bread would be 2~4%.

In Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, a linear transducer (12-5 MHz) with a contact surface length of 6 cm, which is commonly distributed in medical institutions, does not contact with bent fingers and wrist depressions only by using a conventional liquid ultrasound gel, which causes image loss. In order to solve this image loss, the use of commercially available Water gel pad is increasing. However, it is a disposable medical product. Repeated use is prohibited and expensive. In this study, in order to reduce the economic burden caused by the use of the commercialized Water gel Pad, we searched for water-soluble food thickener powder that can be easily purchased around our lives and manufactured Gel pads. Among them, kappa-Carrageenan Gel Pad, iota-Carrageenan Gel Pad, and Agar-Agar Gel Pad satisfied the evaluation criteria without artifacts in image evaluation using the N-365 Multipurpose Phantom. Also, the price to purchase the food thickener powder was about 38 times cheaper than the existing commercialized Water gel pad. As a result, if you use the food thickener powder such as kappa-Carrageenan, iota-Carrageenan and Agar-Agar to make solidified elastic Gel pad without a cover instead of the commercially available expensive disposable Water gel pad, the convenience and usefulness of use are improved. It is judged that the manufactured Gel pads can contribute well to the role of efficient ultrasound propagation medium.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of macaron with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of macaron with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of CP were examined. The quality of macarons was evaluated based on spread factor, baking loss rate, color, texture, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation. As amount of CP addition increased, spread factor, baking loss rate, and L and a values decreased, whereas b value increased (p<0.05). For texture properties, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness were increased by addition of CP (p<0.05). The gumminess and brittleness did not show significant changes up to 3% CP addition although significant changes in 5-7% CP addition (p<0.05) were evident. The total polyphenolic contents, DPPH radical scavenging activities, and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the consumer acceptance of macarons, 3% CP showed the highest in color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptance and 5% CP showed the highest in taste. Meanwhile, macaron containing 7% CP showed the lowest scores in texture and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 3% of CP was the optimal concentration for making macaron.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of noodles prepared with the addition of nanofiltered (NF) powder of sunmul. Noodles were prepared with different levels $(0\%,\;1.5\%,\;3\%\;and\;5\%,\;w/w)$ of NF powder and physico-chemical properties were examined. Results of rapid visco analyzer showed that peak, trough, final viscosity and set back decreased as the NF powder level increased. The weight and volume of cooked noodles increased with the addition of NF powder. Turbidity of soup also increased as the amount of NF powder increased, indicating higher cooking loss. The color of wet and cooked noodles became greenish yellow as the NF powder level increased. Hardness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness of cooked noodles decreased with the increasing amount of NF powder. Results of sensory evaluation showed that noodles prepared with up to $3\%$ addition of NF powder was considered to be as acceptable as noodles prepared without NF powder.

Bread was prepared with different concentrations of Pleurotus eryngii powder ($2.5{\sim}10.0%$), and the fermentation characteristics were investigated. While pH of dough increased, fermentation power of dough expansion by fermentation decreased with the increase of Pleurotus eryngii powder added. Although bread weight decreased, there were no significant differences in dough weight, dough yield and baking loss as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of volume and specific volume, they were significantly decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Size of bread decreased gradually and aircell uniformity became bigger and random as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. As the results of color values, L and b values of crust decreased; however, there was no significant difference in a value. L value of crumb decreased although a and b values increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content. In the textual characteristics, hardness, gumminess and brittleness of bread significantly increased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. In case of free amino acid, Glu content was the largest in most samples and most amino acid contents increased by adding the Pleurotus eryngii powder content except for Asp. In descriptive test, scores of color, flavor, hardness and palatability increased, however aircell uniformity, springiness and moistness decreased as Pleurotus eryngii powder content increased. As the results of preference test, color was the best preferred in control${\sim}5.0%$ groups without significant difference. The preference of flavor and texture was in the order of 2.5% group> 5.0% group> 7.5% group> control> 10.0% group as 2.5% group was the most preferred.

Entomopathogenic fungi are promising pest-control agents but their industrial applicability is limited by their thermosusceptibility. With an aim to increase the thermotolerance of Isaria fumosorosea SFP-198, moisture absorbents were added to dried conidial powder, and the relationship between its water potential and thermotolerance was investigated. Mycotized rice grains were dried at $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$ and the drying effect of each temperature for 24, 48, 96, and 140 hr was determined. Drying for 48 hr at $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ reduced the moisture content to < 5% without any significant loss of conidial thermotolerance, but drying at $30^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ reduced both moisture content and conidial thermotolerance. To maintain thermotolerance during storage, moisture absorbents, such as calcium chloride, silica gel, magnesium sulfate, white carbon, and sodium sulfate were individually added to previously dried-conidial powder at 10% (w/w). These mixtures was then stored at room temperature for 30 days and subjected to $50^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. The white carbon mixture had the highest conidial thermotolerance, followed by silica gel, magnesium sulfate, and then the other absorbents. A significant correlation between the water potential and conidial thermotolerance was observed in all conidia-absorbent mixtures tested in this study (r = -0.945). Conidial thermotolerance in wet conditions was evaluated by adding moisturized white carbon (0~20% $H_2O$) to conidia to mimic wet conditions. Notably, the conidia still maintained their thermotolerance under these conditions. Thus, it is evident that conidial thermotolerance can be maintained by drying mycotized rice grains at low temperatures and adding a moisture absorbent, such as white carbon.

The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family, native to south-central China. It is cultivated in relatively warm areas such as Spain, Japan and South Korea. It is used commercially as an ornamental plant and for its yellow fruit, which contains much carotenoid, sugar and a little organic acid. In this study, chiffon cakes were prepared with the addition of 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% loquat fruit powder (LFP) in order to invest the mixing conditions. When more LFP was added to the dough, the pH level of the dough became lower. Specific gravity and viscosity of the dough significantly increased as higher amounts of LFP were added. In baked cakes, the weight and baking loss rate of LFP were not significantly different between samples, and the height of the risen test samples were lower than that of the controls. Moisture content was 33.58% in the 12% LFP sample (12% LFPS), which was the highest of all the samples. With respect to crust color, lightness, redness and, yellowness, these significantly decreased as the amount of LFP was increased, the 12% LFP being the lowest of all the samples. Lightness and yellowness of crumbs significantly decreased as the amount of LFP was increased, whereas redness showed the reverse effect. When looking at hardness and adhesiveness, the 12% LFPS was the highest of all the samples, nevertheless a difference in resilience was not significant among the samples. According to consumer perception, bitterness was significantly increased as amounts of LFP increased, however a difference in salty, astringency and oily tastes were not significant among the samples. The 12% LFPS showed the lowest score with respect to softness and overall acceptability. In conclusion, LFP could be considered a functional material, with the optimum amount of LFP for a chiffon cake of 3~9%.

The average life expectancy has continuously increased with the development of medical industry. As women get older, they experience the deficit of estrogen caused by decreased function of ovarian. Specifically, they suffer from temporary fever because of unstable vasomotion and, in the long term experience, degeneration of urogenital organs, tooth loss, arteriosclerosis, demantia, snores and so on. Because of these symptoms the estrogen medical supply is getting required. Along with this, many studies have conducted to find out substitutional medicals without any side effects. This research was carried out to find out such substitutable materials. For the purpose of study, we examined the change of estrogen using the rats fed with the pupa powder immediately before the eclosion, eclosed adult, the pupa extract immediately before the eclosion, and the silkworm powder prepared at $3^{rd}$ day of $5^{th}$ instar. The result showed no significant chance in weight, feeding and water intake quantity among variables. However, the estrogen hormone secretion effects was very high at 73 pg/ml in the rats fed with the freeze-dried powder of the Yeonnokjam male pupa prepared immediately before the eclosion, compared with the control at 59 pg/ml. The next was Yangwonjam male adult at 71 pg/ml.
