Objective: This study aimed to develop a value-added product concerning technological and sensory characteristics changes of the use of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) as meat replacer in lamb and mutton emulsion-type sausages (mortadella). Methods: Sausages were produced with lamb and mutton and with different contents of MDPM. Six treatments, using lamb or mutton and 0%, 30%, and 60% of MDPM in relation to the meat batter, were produced and analyzed for pH, proximal composition, calcium and residual nitrite content, water activity, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), instrumental color and texture profile. The sensory profile of the mortadella's was also evaluated by acceptance test and check-all-that-applies (CATA) analysis. Results: The MDPM addition increased (p<0.05) fat, residual nitrite and calcium content in the all sausage formulations, but mutton sausage had (p<0.05) higher fat and lower moisture content than lamb sausage. The pH, water activity, TBARS index and color was not affected by MDPM additions, while the mutton sausages were significantly redder (higher $a^*$, $C^*$, and lower $h^{\circ}$) and darker (lower $L^*$) than lamb sausages. Adding up to 60% of MDPM reduced (p<0.05) sausages hardness and chewiness. Overall, the meat replacement by MDPM increased the sausages acceptance, but the mutton sausage with 30% of MDPM replacer were the most preferred. Consumers related that pink color, glossy appearance, poultry meat-like taste, soft texture, juicy and greasy mouth feel to all sausages contain MDPM according to CATA analysis. Conclusion: Mutton from culled ewes can be utilized for mortadella production with 30% replacement of lean mutton and fat by MDPM.

The enzyme activity and organoleptic properties of Korean pickled cucumber were studies for their changes during fermentation. The Korean pickled cucumber were prepared by blanching and high temperature soaking in salt solution and trehalose treament. The results showed that the effect of combined heat and trehalose treatment significantly reduced the fermentation rate and softening rate of texture while a rather rapid fermentation was for those preserved with salt. The effect of terhalose treatment enhanced fermentation and it was significantly reduced softening rate of texture by 2% treatment. The sensory evaluation of Korean pickled cucumber was found that combined heat treatment with blanching and hot solution had a positive effect for reduction of softening of cucumber tissue, however, odor and taste were not significantly affected. This study suggested that combined heat and trehalose treament might have potential for affording protection against softness of cucumber tissue during the fermentation time.

This study was performed in order to examine the functional and quality characteristics of raw noodles with added kale powder. The raw noodles were prepared at a concentration of 4, 8, and 12% (w/w) of the kale, based on flour weight. The antioxidant activity of kale powder, specifically DPPH free radical scavenging, reducing activity, and total phenolic content were found to be 75.16%, 1.24 (O.D.) and 44.47 mg GAE/g, respectively. Using Hunter Lab color values for raw noodle with added kale powder, L (lightness) values decreased with an increased concentration of kale powder, whereas a (redness) values decreased (p<0.001). In a texture analysis, chewiness (p<0.01), gumminess (p<0.001), and cohesiveness (p<0.001) increased significantly as the amount of added kale powder increased. According to sensory evaluations: color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall palatability had the highest score in noodle with 8% kale powder (p<0.001). During periods of storage, moisture contents were decreased when kale powder concentrations increased, but pH did not differ in any of the groups and bacteria cell counts were between 0% and 8%. Kale noodles were observed at 8% then 0%, decreased by 102 log CFU/g. The antioxidant activities of raw noodles with added kale powder were increased by 8%, a 30~50% increase over the control group. These results suggest that kale powder is useful as a functional food resource with antioxidant activities.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (as ratios of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% to the total materials). According to the results, the pH of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder in the yanggaeng tended to increased $^{\circ}Brix$ value (p<0.01). For color values, lightness (L) values were reduced by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, redness (a) and yellowness (b) while values were increased significantly (p<0.001). Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, springness, and Adhesiveness for yanggaeng showed that sample groups were lower than those of the control group. Cohesivene and chewiness were higher in the additive group than in the control group. Antioxidant activities, evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capacity, Nitrites cavenging activity, and total phenolic substances content increased when increased the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Results of descriptive analysis showed that by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, some attributes such as the intensity of the color, sweet, hardness and chewiness increased (p<0.01). It concluded that yanggaeng containing Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten can be prepared with good sensory properties and antioxidant activities, and the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder was found to be ideal. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 3% of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

To develop and industrialize functional foods containing peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), the present study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of breads prepared with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% PSE and PSP. The expansion ratio of the dough, the quality characteristics such as volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss, color, texture, and sensory preference were evaluated. There were significant differences in the bread volume and specific volume among the control, PSE and PSP groups (p<0.001). Additionally, the weight and baking loss were decreased with an increasing amount of PSP (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP were increased, the L value of the crumb decreased, whereas the a and b values of the crumb significantly increased (p<0.001), suggesting that the crumb color of the bread may be significancy (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the hardness of bread significantly and rapidly increased from 5%. Meanwhile, there was no significance in springiness among the control, PSE and PSP groups. The total resveratrol content and DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of the bread significantly increased depending on the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001). In the overall acceptance test, no significant differences were observed in the color, flavour, or texture, however, the taste and overall acceptance were significantly decreased between the control and the PSE group. All the sensory characteristics in the PSP group were significantly reduced compared with the control. Considering the above results, it can be expected that the suitable amount of PSE and PSP substituted for wheat flour will be from 1.0 to 2.5%. Furthermore, follow-up studies are being carried out continuously.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of rice flour sponge cakes containing 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50% Helianthus tuberosus powder (HTP). As HTP content of sponge cake increased, the pH of sponge cake batter significantly decreased, whereas specific gravity significantly increased (p<0.05). Meanwhile, volume and symmetry indices of sponge cake were inversely proportional to HTP amount. Further, with higher HTP content in sponge cake, L and b values of crumbs significantly decreased (p<0.05), whereas a value significantly increased (p<0.05). L, a, and b values of crust significantly increased with higher HTP content. For texture characteristics, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake significantly increased (p<0.05),whereas cohesiveness did not significantly change. In the sensory evaluation test, rice sponge cake prepared with 10% HTP showed the highest sensory scores in terms of color, flavor, taste, softness properties, and overall preference. The levels of total polyphenol compounds and DPPH radical scavenging activities of rice sponge cakes significantly increased with higher HTP contents (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that rice sponge cake containing 10% HTP is the most appropriate for quality characteristics and sensory evaluation. This study also provides a way to increase the quality, texture characteristics, and organoleptic properties of sponge cake while reducing HTP content to less than 10% in order to satisfy consumer tastes.

Korea has entered the aged society, with those aged over 65 years accounting for 14~20% of its population. Interest in the quality of life, nutrition, and health of the elderly is increasing. Since the energy intake of the elderly is lower than the estimated required amount, nutrient intake ratio of the elderly is related to mastication. Yanggaeng is a high-energy food made from agar, sugar, and red bean paste. Since it has a soft texture, it is highly utilized as a snack for the elderly who have inconvenience in mastication. Pinus koraiensis needle is known to possess antioxidant and antibacterial effects. The purpose of this study was to develop a functional snack added with Pinus koraiensis needle extract powder known to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antibacterial effects for the elderly that would be easy for them to chew. In this study, yanggaeng was manufactured with 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, or 8% of Pinus koraiensis needle extract powder, white sediment, and agar. In the experiment, moisture contents, color values texture characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory preference results were evaluated. Moisture content was the highest in the group added 6% of the extract powder. It was the lowest in the group added 8% of the extract powder, showing a significant (p < 0.001) difference between the two. Hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness of texture characteristics were decreased significantly (p < 0.001) while the adhesiveness and chewiness of texture characteristics were increased significantly (p < 0.001) as the amount of addition increased. Regarding antioxidative activity measurements, levels of polyphenols were the highest (p < 0.001) in the group added with 8% of the extract powder. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were increased as the amount of addition increased (p < 0.001). Overall sensory preference was the highest for the 2% addition group. It decreased as the amount of addition increased (p < 0.001). Results of this study indicate that Pinus koraiensis needle extract powder with antioxidant and antibacterial effects can be used to manufacture yanggaeng to make functional snacks with improved quality characteristics for the elderly.

To elucidate the effects of food texture such as hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness on mastication procedure, the electromyographic activity (EMG) of the masticatory muscles and the chewing movements were analyzed in eighteen young subjects during ordinary chewing. Seven different foods were selected by sensory texture profiling and mechanical test with texturometer; egg white, sausage, pizza cheese, yang-geng, biscuit, peanut and almond. The indexes of jaw movements used were the chewing number, chewing time, maximum opening, average opening, closing velocity and opening velocity. The EMG indexes analyzed were maximum and average integrated amplitude of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The chewing time and chewing number, mandibular displacement and mandibular movement velocity were not changed by the hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the food (p>0.05). 2. The harder food materials showed a higher amplitude of the anterior temporal muscle integrated EMGs than the softer ones (p<0.05). 3. The maximum and average integrated EMGs of the masseter muscle increased with the increase of hardness of the food (p<0.05). 4. The integrated EMGs of preferred side and non-preferred side masticatory muscles increased with the increase of hardness of the food (p<0.05). 5. The adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the food were not the determining factor to the integrated EMGs of masticatory muscles (p<0.05).

Cysteine, a thiol group-containing reducing agent which is known to relax the strain and increase the viscosity of dough, was added to Korean and imported wheat flour noodles to investigate the effect on the properties of raw, dried, and cooked noodles and to determine the optimum cooking time and amount to improve the color of noodles. Addition of cysteine up to 1% of flour (8.25 mmole/100 g flour) was not effective in increasing the brightness of raw and dried noodles and in changing the water activity of dried noodle. However, cysteine improved the brightness of cooked noodle made of both Korean and imported wheat flours. Also, there were notable differences in cooking and sensory properties of cysteine-added cooked noodles such as less firm and stickier texture due to the extraction of organic compounds into broth. When the noodles were cooked for their optimum cooking time, no difference was noticed in the texture and overall preference regardless of the addition of cysteine. Overall, the addition of 1 % cysteine increased the brightness of cooked noodles and reduced the cooking time.

The effect of NaCI content levels(1.7, 2.2, 2.7 and 3.2%) on the ripening of a dry sausage was studied, when starter culture and Glucono-delta-Lacton were used. During the ripening of sausages, the physical and chemical properties and the microbial mutiplication were investigated, and also the growth of inoculated Staphylococcus aureus was detected, pH values were slowly decreased and Aw values dropped fastly during ripening period with the increase of NaCl content. In instrumental texture examination, the texture of sausage with NaCl content of 3.2% was significantly harder and more cohesive than those with lower NaCl contents. During ripening St. aureus was decreased by one tenth and not significantly different among mixtures with different NaCl contents. Depending upon reducing NaCl levels, total bacteria and Lactobacilli grew rapidly, while Enterobacteriaceae decreased slowly during ripening.
