This study investigated the effect of different $O_2$ transmission rate (OTR) of films on surface temperature, weight loss, pH, $O_2$, $CO_2$ and sensory characteristics, microbial quality, total phenolic contents and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical scavenging activity of fresh-cut lettuce during storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. $80{\pm}5g$ of fresh-cut lettuce were packaged with oriented polypropylene films respectively. The OTR of packaging materials was 5,000, 8,000 and $10,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$. Quality characteristics showed significant differences during storage. The surface temperature was averaged 13 and lower in higher OTR of films. The weight loss of lettuce ranged from 2.8 to 5.4% and the highest loss showed in $5,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ of film. pH was increased during storage and the highest pH was found in $5,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$. The $O_2$ content in the packaging was decreased with increasing $CO_2$ content during storage. The lowest $CO_2$ was found in $10,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$. As OTR was decreased, antioxidant profile of lettuce was decreased. Total aerobic bacteria showed from 5.48 to 6.59 log CFU/g. From the result of the overall sensory test, the marketability of fresh-cut lettuce stored at $10^{\circ}C$ seemed to be maintained effectively over 5 days.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of turmeric powder on jeung-pyun. Turmeric jeung-pyun containing 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% turmeric powder was prepared and the moisture, pH, sugar, color, texture, DPPH and sensory properties of the samples were measured. Moisture contents of jeung-pyun were 51.26~51.99% and there were significant differences among the samples(p<0.001). The L-values were significantly decreased with increasing turmeric powder content. The b-value was low in the control and there were significant differences among the samples(p<0.05). Texture profile analysis showed that there were no significant differences among the groups in hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. The hardness was the lowest in the control group and increased with increasing turmeric powder content. The antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH increased with increasing turmeric powder content (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, 1% addition of turmeric powder showed the highest preference in terms of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference(p<0.001). As determined by this study, the addition of 1% turmeric powder was the most favorable method for making use of turmeric powder in the production of jueng-pyun.

We explored the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk prepared using different amounts of cheese powder (0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%; all w/w); physico-chemical properties were determined. Proximate composition analysis showed that the moisture content of Sulgidduk decreased with a rise in the level of added cheese powder. Lightness and yellowness values were lowest in control Sulgidduk and highest in Sulgidduk with 24% added cheese powder. Texture profile analysis showed that all of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness increased with a rise in cheese powder level. Scanning election microscopy indicated that the number of air cells fell as the ratio of cheese powder to rice powder increased. Sensory evaluation tests indicated that color, cheese smell, and greasiness rose as the cheese powder level increased, whereas softness and moistness fell. Consumer acceptance testing showed no significant difference in overall acceptability scores among samples. In conclusion, we suggest that cheese powder may be incorporated into Sulgidduk without affecting sensory qualities.

The yeast strains used for fermentation are known to influence the qualities of wine. We investigated the effects of fermentation using different yeast strains on the properties of wine produced from 'Hayward' kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). The physicochemical characteristics of wine produced using various yeast strains for fermentation were also analyzed. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gervin No.5 strain (GVN), S. bayanus Lavin strain EC1118 (EC1118), and S. cerevisiae Red star Davis No. 796 (No.796) are commercial dry yeast strains selected for optimization of fermentation. Although the soluble solid contents of samples fermented by all three yeast strains decreased by a similar extent, the levels of alcohol production differed, particularly during the first week of fermentation. Use of the GVN strain resulted in the highest alcohol concentration (13.8%, v/v), whereas fermentation with No.796 and EC1118 strains yielded alcohol contents of 13.0% and 12.5% (both v/v), respectively. Upon sensory evaluation, GVN-fermented wine had a strong taste and bitterness, with high acid and alcohol contents. Wine fermented using No.796 had a chemical profile similar to that of GVN-fermented product, but the taste remained sweet, consistent with the lower alcohol content. EC1118-fermented wine was soft and sweet in taste, high in flavor, and had a low alcohol content. Total phenolic levels and antioxidant activities in wine fermented by EC1118 were significantly higher than in wines prepared using No.796 or GVN. When previously described characteristics were additionally considered, EC1118 was selected as an optimum strain for further study. In conclusion, fermentation of kiwifruit using different yeast strains yielded wines with distinct characteristics. The yeast strain EC1118 had the most desirable properties, and is considered suitable for kiwifruit fermentation. Valuable attributes of wine fermented by this yeast include overall sensory acceptance, an appropriate level of total phenolics, and good antioxidant activity.

Cedrela sinensis is a Korean traditional wild herb that has special taste, aroma and red leaves. Only Korean and Chinese have been eating blanched Cedrela sinensis leaves. In this study, quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Cedrela sinensis Jeonbyeong were compared and analyzed by pulverizing Cedrela sinensis leaves and subsequently adding by adjusting the amount of Cedrela sinensis powder. For analyzing the quality characteristics, the moisture content and pH of Jeonbyeong batter, specific volume, moisture content, color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations are measured. Total phenolic content showed $16.11{\pm}0.09$ mg GAE/100 g in the 12% Cedrela sinensis powder added group, which was the highest. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Jeonbyeong indicated the highest score in the 12% Cedrela sinensis powder added group(p<0.001). While the pH(p<0.01) and moisture content(p<0.001) of batter and moisture content(p<0.01) of Jeonbyeong significantly decreased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder content. Chromaticity measurement results of Jeonbyeong showed significantly decreased L value and b value chromaticity (p<0.001) and increased a value. Hardness significantly increased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder content. In the sensory evaluations, 9% Cedrela sinensis powder added group ranked significantly higher than any other group in every section. From these results, we suggest that Cedrela sinensis leaves show remarkable antioxidant activity as a good ingredient for functional processed food.

To develop an elderly diet food that can easily be chewed and swallowed, we manufactured elderly diet food using chicken breast meat with various amounts (0.9, 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 g) of gelatin used as a viscosity agent, and evaluated their physico-chemical and sensory properties. As the amount of gelatin decreased, the lightness were increased, but the redness and yellowness were decreased. In the texture profile analysis, hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness were significantly increased with increased amounts of gelatin, but adhesiveness gradually decreased. Cohesiveness was no significantly difference. Free amino acid contents in elderly diet food using chicken breast meat did not show trend to increase or decrease, but the tyrosine contents were significantly decreased with increased amounts of gelatin. The sensory evaluations including taste, flavor and color were not significantly different. However, the texture and overall acceptance of elderly diet food using chicken meat containing 1.3 g of gelatin had the highest acceptance.

The favorable effect of ascorbic acid and cysteine on the improvement of rice bread quality was investigated by creating and comparing 6 experimental rice breads(RB-1 to RB-6). The RB-3 showed a relatively higher loaf volume, specific loaf volume and bread yield than the other breads. Crust and crumb color of breads were measured using a Hunter celery meter. The RB 5 and RB 6 showed the higher cut L-value than the other broads. As the proportion of the rice in the experimental breads increased, both the crust L-value and the crumb L-value showed higher values. According to the texture profile analysis, the hardness of the RB-1 to RB-3 were lower than those of the other breads. The springness of the experimental broads increased as the percentage of the rice in the breads increases. However, less proportions of rice to breads provided significantly lower level of the chewiness. The cohesiveness did not show any specific pattern by the proportion of rice to breads. The degree of retrogradation of the breads was accelerated when the breads contained more rice or when the breads had neither ascorbic acid nor cysteine. Therefore, RB 3, which contained ascorbic acid and cysteine and less rice, showed the highest retardation in the degree of retrogradation. In addition, the RB 3 showed the highest overall acceptance scores by sensory evaluation.

The effects of curcumin extract on the physicochemical, microbial and sensory properties of low-fat sausages during refrigerated storage were studied. Sausage products were produced with three different formulations including 0%, 2.5%, and 5.0% curcumin extract. Low-fat sausages made with the addition of curcumin extract had lower (p<0.05) crude fat content, pH and TBARS values than the control sample. The addition of curcumin extract did not affect the water holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force, meat color, texture profile, and total bacterial count in low-fat sausages duringstorage (p>0.05). With regard to sensory evaluation, 2.5% curcumin extract added to low-fat sausages resulted in a high overall acceptability (p<0.05). In conclusion, low-fat sausages with added 2.5% curcumin extract had a higher acceptability and lipid oxidative stability during storage than products without curcumin extract.

This study investigated the effects of starches(potato, sweet potato, and corn starch) on the quality characteristics of raw and cooked noodles. The moisture content, color, mixogram, texture profile and sensory evaluation were performed. The mixogram showed the addition of starches shortened the kneading time. Mixing tolerance was higher in the noodles with starch than the control group, which indicates that the addition of starch increases dough durability. Moisture content of raw noodles was the highest in the samples with potato starch. L-value of raw noodles was the highest in the samples added with corn starch, whereas that of cooked noodles was the highest in the samples added with potato starch. The hardness of raw noodles was the highest in the control sample, and the chewiness of raw noodles was the highest in the samples added with sweet potato starch. The hardness of cooked noodles was the highest in the samples added with corn starch and the lowest in the control group. The tension distance of raw noodles was the longest in the control group and the tension force of raw noodles was the highest in the noodle with sweet potato starch. The acceptance test indicated that the noodles prepared with the addition of sweet potato starch scored the highest in flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability.
