This study examines the effects of restaurant attributes on customers' perceptions of price and brand reputation. Four restaurant attributes were used to represent restaurant quality. Multiple regression was conducted to measure the relationships between the four restaurant attributes and price and brand reputation. Further, an independent T-test was used to compare differences between perceptions of locals and tourists with regard to restaurant quality under two categories (price and brand reputation) after they selected a restaurant. Results of this study revealed that residency did not have a significant impact on customers' perceptions of price or brand reputation, whereas restaurant attributes did have an impact. Taste was a predictor of perceived price, whereas service and atmosphere were predictors of brand reputation. In addition, comparison of restaurant attributes between locals and tourists showed that sanitation and service were significantly different in accordance with price and atmosphere, whereas taste and service were significantly different in accordance with brand reputation. Locals showed higher means for each restaurant attribute compared to tourists.

This study was conducted to assess the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Yanggaeng prepared with different concentrations of blackcurrant powder (0, 1.5, 3, and 4.5%). The moisture content ranged from 41.95% to 45.38%, exhibiting no significant differences between the groups. The pH gradually decreased with increasing levels of blackcurrant powder. The lightness (L) value decreased while redness (a) value increased with an increasing amount of blackcurrant powder. Hardness of the control group was lower than those of the treatment groups. Consumer acceptance test revealed no significant differences in surface color, smell, taste, and overall acceptability scores between the control and 3% added groups. The total polyphenol contents and total anthocyanin contents were 7.58~54.88 mg GAE/100 g and 0.00~4.20 mg C3G/100 g), respectively, which increased proportionally with increasing levels of blackcurrant powder. The antioxidant activity measured based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were significantly higher in treatment groups than the control and increased as the concentration of blackcurrant powder increased. From the above results, blackcurrant powder up to 3% can be incorporated into Yanggaeng to satisfy taste and functional needs for consumers.

Muffins were prepared with different amounts of rice bran powder (0~30%), and their quality characteristics were investigated. The specific gravity of batters increased with increasing rice bran. While the initial pasting temperature increased with increasing rice bran amount, peak viscosity and viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 min gradually decreased. The pH value of batters and muffins decreased with increasing rice bran amount. Moisture content of muffins was affected by the addition of rice bran powder. The lightness and yellowness values of muffins decreased with increasing rice bran amount, whereas redness value increased. For textural characteristics, hardness, gumminess and chewiness of muffins significantly increased with increasing rice bran amount, whereas cohesiveness and springiness decreased. Aircell uniformity of muffins became larger and more random as rice bran powder content increased. In the sensory evaluation, scores of taste and texture were the highest in muffin added with 5% rice bran powder. Overall acceptability was highest in control and the 5% group without any significant difference. Values of color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability of muffins tended to decrease as rice bran powder content increased.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with oddi powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%). The highest dough density value was 1.49, which was also observed in the 7% added group. The pH of the cookie dough was significantly reduced in at all oddi powder groups as compared to the controls. The spread factor of the cookies evidenced an inverse relationship with the concentration of oddi powder as compared to the controls (7.52). Hunter's color L, a, and b values in the cookies were reduced with increases in the level of added oddi powder. Hardness decreased, but chewiness increased, with increasing oddi concentrations as compared to the controls. In the sensory evaluation, the color of the cookies increased in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing concentrations of oddi powder. The taste scores were higher with a 3% addition of oddi powder. The cookies with $3{\sim}5%$ of the flour substituted for oddi powder scored highest on scores in appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

When cheonggukjgang was manufactured using a Bacillus subtilis CH10-1 starter culture, a short-term fermentation for 14-18 hr appeared to be the optimal for the raw cheonggukjang to avoid the formation of a bitter taste and to contain a high concentration of free sugars, whereas a long-term fermentation for more than 4 days was the optimal for the cheonggukjang for stew in order to contain a high concentration of free amino and organic acids, which are responsible for sweet, savory, and bitter tastes present in stewed cheonggukjang, During activation of murine splenic T cells with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the presence of either poly-$\gamma$-glutamic acid ($\gamma$-PGA) or partially hydrolyzed $\gamma$-PGA resulted in reduction in the level of interferon-$\gamma$ production and enhancement in the level of interleukin-5 production, possibly due to suppression of Th1 activity and augmentation of Th2 activity. Taken together these results indicate that the raw cheonggukjang and the cheonggukjang for stew are different in their quality and taste as well as immunomodulating activity.
