The objective of this study was to standardized the cooking method of Imjasootang, a traditional health food in summer. By mixing chicken soup with 20 g (I$_1$), 30 g (I$_2$), 40 g (I$_3$), 50 g (I$_4$) of seasam seeds, the distinctive characteristic and level of preference of Imjasootang were examined through the analyses of the proximate composition, fatty acid contents, color index, turbidity, brix$^{\circ}$, and sensory evaluation. 1. The proximate composition of Imjasootang was 90.2∼95.1% of total moisture, 0.985∼1.271% of crude protein, 0.90∼0.98% of crude fat, 1.592∼2.456% of nonfiber, 0.003∼0.004% of fiber, and 0.77∼0.97% of crude ash. Fatty acid were composed of 15.15∼17.36% of saturated fatty acid and 79.73∼82.54% of unsaturated fatty acid. Imjasootang contains high level of oleic acid and linoleic acid which were dependant on the content of seasame seeds. 2. For color index of samples, the lightness ranged 47.2∼56.9, “a”values 1.82∼2.15%, and “b”values 15.5∼16.5%. The turbidity of samples ranged 39∼61%, in which I$_4$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 50 g+water 25 g) was the most turbid. Solid content was also the highest in I$_4$, ranging 1.4∼5.1%. 3. In sensory evaluation, all sesame seed Imjasootangs had no significance differences in appearance. The higher the level of sesame seed in Imjasootangs, the more Imjasootang was preferred in terms of nutty aroma, color nutty taste. and viscosity. I$_4$ had the strongest nutty aroma. I$_2$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 30 g+water 15 g) and I$_3$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 40 g+water 20 g) were the best in the overall preference.

We evaluated seasonal variations in the proximate, fatty acid and total amino acid compositions and mineral content of the muscles of wild and cultured Korean bullhead Pseudobagrus fulvidraco. The wild and cultured samples showed a significantly higher proportion of crude lipids than other components. Crude lipid content was highest in May in wild fish but lowest in May in cultured fish. We found no significant difference between wild and cultured samples in terms of fatty acid and total amino acid compositions and mineral content. The levels of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as well as n-6/n-3, were higher in the muscles of wild fish compared with those of cultured fish. However, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) levels were higher in cultured fish. Both wild and cultured fish were good sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosa hexaenoic acid (DHA). In wild fish, the Mg and Zn contents were highest in August, while the Ca, P, Na, K, Fe, and Cu contents were highest in May. However, the mineral content of the cultured fish did not exhibit significant seasonal variation.

Julpyun(traditional Korean rice cake) was prepared by adding silkworm powder(SP) in the ratio of 0%, 3%, 6%, 9% of rice flour, and tested by proximate composition, sensory evaluation, chromaticity and rheological properties. In proximate composition, as the SP increased, amounts of moisture, crude protein and ash increased proportionally. In sensory evaluation test, 6% SP added Julpyun showed the highest score in color, Julpyun added with 3% SP gave the strongest flavor. From the scores of taste, texture and overall quality, 3% SP added Julpyun was evaluated as the best. In rheometer test, hardness increased as the amount of SP increased. Gumminess and brittleness tended to decrease as the ratio of SP increased and 3% SP added Julpyun showed the high value in them.

This study examined the nutrient components and measured the physicochemical properties of 23 Korean sweet potato cultivars. The proximate composition, free sugars, organic acids, and dietary fiber of sweet potato were analyzed and the water binding capacity, oil absorption and pasting characteristics were measured. The proximate composition was the highest in Happymi and was higher in colored sweet potato than in general sweet potato (p<0.05). The sucrose content was the highest among the free sugars in the general cultivars and yellow/orange colored cultivar. The major organic acids were oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and acetic acid. Oxalic acid and citric acid were high in the purple colored cultivars and malic acid was high in yellow/orange colored cultivars. Each total dietary fiber content of the general and colored cultivars was 7.51-13.94 and 13.04-16.97%, respectively, but there was no significant difference. The water binding capacity and oil absorption of Juhwangmi was high in all cultivars (p<0.05). The peak viscosity of sweet potato powder showed highest a significant difference of 12.50-1342 cP (p<0.05). The breakdown of Sincheonmi was 512, which was the highest value (p<0.05). The setback of Geonpungmi was significantly low, 6.0 (p<0.05).
