This study was conducted to assess the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yanggaeng prepared with different concentrations of Viscum album extracts (VAE; 0, 1, 3 and 5%). The moisture content ranged from 37.85% to 39.38%, exhibiting no significant differences between the groups. The pH level of VAE 5% added yanggaeng was the lowest, followed in order by 3% and 1% additions. Increasing the amount of VAE in yanggaeng tended to increase acidity. The lightness value of the Hunter color system decreased based on the amount of VAE concentrate added to yanggaeng. As VAE content increased, changes in hardness, gumminess, and brittleness were all significant (p<0.05). Characteristics of cohesiveness and springiness showed no significant differences. Total polyphenol content was the highest in VAE 5% added yanggaeng. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 2.29%, whereas groups with added VAE ranged from 7.52~28.05%. As VAE increased, antioxidative activity also increased. In the sensory evaluation, yanggaeng addition with VAE 3% had excellent scores for bitterness, moistness, and overall acceptability. Yanggaengs with moderate levels of VAE 3% are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) to take advantage of the functional properties of VAE without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum addition amount of waxy sorghum flour to rice flour in the preparation of Sulgidduk(waxy sorghum rice cake). The moisture content of Sulgidduk with added wary sorghum flour was $37{\sim}41%$. With increasing waxy sorghum (lour content over the range from 10% to 50%, the L-value decreased, whereas the a-and b-values increased. In the mechanical evaluation of waxy sorghum Sulgidduk, the hardness, gumminess and brittleness increased with increasing waxy sorghum flour content above 20%. The adhesiveness increased with increasing waxy sorghum flour content. The cohesiveness and springiness did not differ significantly with the addition of waxy sorghum flour. In the sensory evaluation of waxy sorghum Sulgidduk, the evaluation of the softness, moistness and chewiness was the best at 20% content. Sulgidduk made with the addition of 20% waxy sorghum flour to rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of overall acceptability and the sensory qualities of softness, moistness and chewiness.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pine needle powder on antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of Majakgwa (Korean traditional cookie). Majakgwa was prepared with different amounts of pine needle powder (in ratios of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and by the total phenol content in pine needle powder and Majakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, bulk density and pH of the dough, moisture content, volume, color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were measured. The bulk density, volume, total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Majakgwa significantly increased with increasing pine needle powder (p<0.001), whereas the pH of the dough, L values and b values of the Majakgwa significantly decreased with increasing pine needle powder content (p<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for the 6% pine needle Majakgwa ranked significantly higher (p<0.001) than those of the other groups in overall preference, flavor, taste, crispiness and color. Acid value and peroxide value was lower in Majakgwa with pine needle powder than control. From these results;we suggest that pine needle powder is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of Majakgwa.

The principle objective of this study was to determine the approximate composition of cucumber-hot pepper pickles under 3 conducted. In the stored cucumber-pepper samples, the approximate composition was characterized by a relative increase in protein content as compared to commercial cucumber-pepper samples, although other compositional components, such as ash and lipid contents, remained unchanged. Increases in storage time resulted in a reduction in the strength and hardness of the samples. Cucumber-pepper pickles stored for 15 days at a temperature of -4$^{\circ}$C evidenced the best overall acceptability in the sensory test.

Background: This study aimed to provide a basic standard for assessing freshness and acceptability of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Methods: It was divided into whole body and meat and stored at 25 ℃ to evaluate both quality and freshness changes that occur over time. The shelf life of shrimp was estimated as 17 and 20 h for whole body and meat, respectively. Results: In chemical analysis, K-value increased from 9.96 to 12.32% to a maximum of 75.14%, and TVB-N increased from 1.86 mg/100 g to 34.71 mg/100 g. For volatile sulfur compounds, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide increased from 0.00 mg/100 g to 1.10 mg/100 g and 1.26 mg/100 g, respectively, rapidly increasing with decreasing freshness. Conclusion: Changes in all biochemical indicators significantly correlated with the sensory evaluation results. This study contributes to the knowledge about whiteleg shrimp spoilage and freshness, providing a basis for developing methods to improve shrimp quality control and management.

We investigated the physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of tomato porridge with different ratios (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) of tomato powder in order to determine its potential health benefits. Tomato porridge samples were measured to obtain 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with the addition of tomato powder. The moisture contents of samples ranged from 81% to 78%. The L-value decreased, while a- and b-values increased, as the amount of tomato powder in the porridge increased. Also, the pH of samples decreased with increasing quantity of tomato powder. Based on sensory evaluations, the tomato powder intensified color, flavor, taste, appearance, viscosity and overall acceptability of the porridge. The sample that comprised 6% tomato powder had the highest color, flavor, taste, appearance and overall acceptability scores. Consequently, this research found that incorporating this percentage of tomato powder into the rice flour was the best formula for tomato porridge.
