This study was conducted to determine the effect of mugwort powder on meat composition and sensory characteristics in finishing gilts $(LY{\times}D)$. Twenty pigs (75kg) were randomly allotted to four treatments. Mugwort powder was added to final concentrations of 0(C), 0.5(T1), 1.0(T2), and 1.5%(T3) in the basal diet. Pigs were fed with the specified diet for 50 days. Carcass characteristics and cooking loss were not significantly affected by mugwort powder supplementation. The WHC and cooking loss of T2 and T3 were not significantly different than the control. However, the pH values for meat from gilts fed the T1 and T3 diets were significantly lower than the control (p<0.05). Shear force values of fresh meat were highest with the T3 diet (p<0.05), while the shear force values of cooked meat were significantly lower than the control with the T2 and T3 diets. Texture values of hardness, brittleness, gumminess, chewiness, and adhesiveness were significantly higher with the T3 diet (p<0.05), however values for cohesiveness and springiness were not significantly affected by mugwort powder supplementation. These results indicate that the feeding of mugwort powder improves the shear force of cooked meat from gilts fed the T3 diet, however the carcass, WHC and cooking loss characteristics in gilts are not affected by mugwort powder supplementation.

Consumer acceptance and preference tests for commercial milk were run with laboratory consumer panel. The results were summarized as follows: 1. According to result of the paired comparison preference test between milk K and each of 4 commercial milk tested a significant difference in the consumer preference was not recognized at 5 percent level 2. According to result of hedonic scale test for commercial milk, a significant difference on both treatment and panel member effect was not recognized at 5 percent level. 3. According to result of food action scale test for commercial milk, the frequency of 'I would drink this every opportunity I had' was the highest as 38 percent. 4. According to the rank test for the determination of the preference for milk flavor on the temperature of sample, the frequency of sampling at $20^{\circ}C$ was the highest. 5. A significant difference on the flavor of milk was recognized among 5 samples of commercial milk by both difference test and profile test as reported in the previous paper (Korean J. Food Sci. Technol. 12(3), 150 and 158(1980)), but not by rank test, preference test and hedonic scale test. This fact suggests that rank test, preference test and hedonic scale test are influenced by the difference on the preference of the panel members and on the basis of quality, etc.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of pear jam containing fresh ginger(G1) and ginger powders; dried ginger powder(G2), freeze-dried ginger powder(G3), and hot-air dried ginger powder(G4). The moisture, crude protein, and crude ash content of the control group were significantly higher than those of the experimental groups (p<0.001, p<0.05, p<0.01). The pH of the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) was the lowest(p<0.05). Texture profile analysis found that the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) had the highest firmness, consistency, cohesiveness, and resistance to flow/viscosity among all samples(p<0.001). Regarding the spread-meter value of the pear jam, the control group (G1) and hot air-dried ginger powder added jam(G4) had the highest values. The dried ginger power added jam(G2) had the lowest value among the samples(p<0.01). Regarding the color values of the pear jam, the control group(G1) had the highest L and b values. Hot-air dried ginger powder added jam(G4), on the other hand, had the lowest(p<0.001). The opposite was true for a value: hot-air dried ginger powder added jam(G4) had the highest. From the sensory evaluation, a positive trend was observed for the appearance of the dried ginger powder added jam(G2)(p<0.001). For sweetness, the dried ginger powder added jam(G2) had the highest value. A positive trend was observed for the overall acceptability of the dried ginger powder-added jam(G2)(p<0.001). Therefore, the dried ginger powder-added sample(G2) seemed to be the most appropriate to make pear jam with high acceptability.

In order to elucidate the taste compounds of Korean catfish, Parasilurus asotus, free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds, organic bases, sugars, organic acids and minerals in the extracts of Korean catfish were analyzed, and then evaluated by sensory test of synthetic extract prepared on the basis of the analytical data. Taste panel assessments of synthetic extracts prepared with each extractive component omitted were carried out by a triangle difference test, and changes in taste profile were assessed. In free amino acid composition, glycine was dominant occupying $25\%$ of total free amino acids. The other abundant free amino acids were lysine, taurine and alanine. Judging from the result of analysis of nucleotides, IMP was dominant showing about $70\%$ of total nucleotides while ATP, ADP, AMP, inosine and hypoxanthine were low in content. Among organic bases, total creatinine was abundant and its nitrogen content occupied more than $50\%$ of the total extractive nitrogen. The amount of betaine was 18mg/100g and trace amount of trimethylamine and trimethylamine oxide were detected. The main organic acids were succinic, butyric, propionic and valeric acid. On the other hand, oxalic, fumaric, maleic, tartaric and citric acids were analyzed in trace. As for the sugars, glucose was found to be the most abundant monosaccharide. Extremely small amounts of fructoae, inositol were also detected and ribose and arabinose were trace in content. $K^+,\;Na^+,\;PO_{4}^{3-}$ and $Cl^-$ were found to be the major ions and small amount of $Ca^{2+}$ were defected. The synthetic extract, prepared with about 40 pure chemicals based on the analytical data satisfactorily revealed the natural taste of the original extract except slight difference in meaty taste and mildness. From the results of omission test the major components which contribute to produce the taste were serine, IMP, succinic acid and $PO_{4}^{3-}$.

As a part of development of traditional foods, mugwort boogag and dry laver boogag were fried insoybean oil, and BHA or tocopherol-added soybean oil. They were wrapped up in opp vinyl film, and preserved at $4^{\circ}C(RH{\;}40{\pm}5%){\;}and{\;}25^{\circ}C(RH{\;}80{\pm}5%)$. During the storage of bobogags, acid value, peroxide value, and TBA value were investigated. Changes of sensory evaluation and texture profile were also examined. Boogags were manufactured by washing the raw materials. drying in the shade, mixing them with glutinous rice flour, and hot-air drying up it to 13 % of moisture contents after dryed it up to 80% of moisture contents on dry table for 23days, in order. These boogags were packaged to manufacture goods with dryed state or fried at $160^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. Acid value, peroxide value, and TBA value of boogags which preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ generally appeared lower than at $25^{\circ}C$. As storage time goes by, moisture contents of bobogagas preserved at $25^{\circ}C$ increased and its quality were gradually deteriorated. When the boogags were fried in BHA(0.01%) and tocopherol (0.01%) added soybean oil, changes of acid value, peroxide value, TBA value were generally low. During the storage of bobogagas antioxidant effect of BHA was higher than that of tocopherol. Texture was inclined to decrease as storage time goes, by that of boogags preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ was a little more satisfactory. Hardness was also high.

Overall quality of six kinds of commercial broiler breast fillets (A~F) retailed in Korea were examined, including proximate composition analysis, shape profile analysis, pH, color, tenderness, cooking loss, descriptive analysis, and consumer testing. A total of 120 breast meat fillets were purchased at a local market. Overall quality of broiler breast meat commercially available in Korea was found to vary significantly, indicating a broad range of product quality in the marketplace. Moisture content of meat ranged from 74.4 to 76.4%, whereas protein, fat, and ash contents were 21.8~25.2, 0.2~0.8, and 1.07~1.16%, respectively. The pH ranged from 6.2 to 6.4, whereas color values ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$) were 52.2~57.2, -3.5~0.5, and 8.3~13.6, respectively, among all products tested. Approximately 9% variation in cooking loss was detected depending on the products evaluated, whereas shapes (height, width, and length) of meat were also significantly different (15% variation on average). Product F was proven to be the least tender and least liked by consumers, implying that tenderness is a key attribute determining consumer acceptability of broiler breast meat.

The objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of blueberry powder: 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%. The moisture content of the control yanggaeng was lower than that of any other blueberry added groups. The pH decreased while the titratable acidity and the Brix increased as the amount of blueberry powder increased. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were the highest while the redness (a) was the lowest in the controls. Texture profile analysis showed that the hardness of the added groups were higher than that of the control which were the lowest. The total polyphenol content and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity increased as the amount of blueberry powder increased. The results of consumer acceptance test revealed that the color preference was the highest in the 9% added group while the smell, taste, texture and the overall acceptability showed no significant differences groups. Based on these results, it is suggested that yanggaeng with up to 9% added blueberry powder can be developed as products without adverse effects on sensory characteristics.

Effect of freezing of soybean and addition of mugwort on the flavor development and the changes of chemical compositions in Chungkookjang was investigated. The changes in the amount of amino-type N, the activities of ${\alpha}-amylase$ and protease, and the content of volatile compounds were determined during aging of Chungkookjang. During ripening, a little higher protease activity was detected in Chungkookjang made of frozen soybean than in that made of non-frozen soybean. However, the profile of ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity of Chungkookjang made of frozen soybean was very similar to that of Chungkookjang made of non-frozen soybean. The amount of amino-type N increased gradually with the ripening period and decreased after 21 days of ripening. The amount of amino-type N was slightly higher in Chungkookjang made of frozen soybean than in that made of non-frozen soybean. Addition of mugwort had little effect on the enzyme activities and the amino-type N content. The mugwort added in Chungkookjang reduced the production of cis-3-hexenol which is responsible for the unpleasant odor, and freezing of soybean enhanced the production of 2, 6-dimethyl pyrazine which is contribute to the taste. According to sensory evaluation, flavor was the highest after the 14 days of ripening and addition of mugwort increased significantly the flavor in both Chungkookjang prepared with frozen soybean and Chungkookjang with non-frozen soybean. However, the effect of freezing of soybean on the flavor was not significant.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of tofu prepared with addition of cowpea meal (CPM). Any significant difference of L-value between control CPM-O and treatment CPM-I, CPM-II and CPM-III could not be seen as addition ratio of CPM increases (p < 0.05). The b-value of CPM-III (75%) has shown the least value of 14.26, and it has decreased as addition ratio of CPM increases. The result of texture profile did not show any significant difference between control CPM-O and CPM-Iexcept in the case of cohesiveness. The pH range of treatments was 6.36~6.52, which showed no significant difference from controls. The values of turbidity were 1.46~1.81, which had increasing trend as addition ratio of CPM increases. The total bacterial count of CPM-III was $4.40{\times}10^2CFU/g$, which showed significant difference from the control. No Esterichia coli was detected in the control and the treatments. The result of sensory analysis of the treatment CPM-I did not show any significant difference from the control, which implied the treatment CPM-Iwas found to be suitable at the tofu making using byproducts of cowpea-jelly making. Isoflavone glycoside (IG) was contained more on the order of genistin, daidzin, and glycitin, and the content decreased significantly as addition ratio of CPM increases. The content of isoflavone-aglycone (IA) was less than IG, but showed similar behavior of addition ratio of CPM.

Bread was prepared with five different levels of germinated soybean powder (0%, 4%, 8%, 12% and 16%) and the quality characteristics were investigated. Moisture content decreased, while protein, fat and ash content increased with increasing germinated soybean powder content. Addition of germinated soybean powder increased the weight, but decreased the height, volume and specific loaf volume of bread. The incorporation of germinated soybean powder lowered the lightness and yellowness of bread crust. Textural profile analysis showed that hardness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness increased with the increase of germinated soybean powder level, but no significant differences were observed in cohesiveness. Total isoflavone contents of bread increased after baking, and the increase of aglycones was particularly noted. From the results of sensory evaluation, recommended addition level for germinated soybean powder was considered to be 8% or less.
