This paper examines the effects of various methods of soft steaming(i.e., forced convection-boiler, forced convection-fan, and natural convection) on the quality of potatoes. In particular, the paper investigates the effects of cooking conditions (the steaming method, the treatment time, and the temperature) on the color(L, a, b), moisture content, texture profile, and ascorbic acid of potatoes. The results indicate that not only the cooking method, the treatment time, and the temperature but also the heat transfer mechanism had considerable influence on potato quality. In addition, natural convection steaming was superior to other treatment methods in terms of nutrient retention and texture maintenance. The results of this study should be useful for establishing commercial standards for processing potatoes and improving the quality of thermally processed foods.

We investigate the effects of cryoprotectant mixtures on the quality of sand lance surimi (SLS) during storage at $-30^{\circ}C$. We monitored freeze-induced denaturation of myofibrillar protein in SLS and examined the texture profile of SLS gel. Freeze-induced denaturation was assessed by evaluating SLS $Ca^{+2}$-ATPase activity. SLS gels prepared with sorbitol or sucrose and a mixture of both as cryoprotectant. Higher concentrations of cryoprotectants resulted in significantly higher residual SLS $Ca^{+2}$-ATPase activity at the same storage time (P < 0.05). Residual $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity of SLS prepared with sorbitol was higher than that of sucrose when cryoprotectant concentration and storage period were same. A blend of sorbitol and sucrose resulted in a stronger cryoprptective effect of SLS myofibrillar protein than did sorbitol or sucrose alone. The presence of a phosphate compound in SOP (3% sorbitol + 0.2% phosphate compound) resulted in higher SLS $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity than that of did 5% sorbitol. The hardness, brittleness, and elasticity values and a folding test of the SLS gels were significantly affected by cryoprotectant concentrations and the storage time. Preference scores and acceptance for texture in a sensory evaluation of the SLS gels increased with increasing sorbitol or sucrose concentration.

This study was performed to develop a standardized recipe for yuza pyun made of citron juice that is by-product of citron tea, to increase the utilization of citron. The effects of mungbean starch(15%, 18%) and dilution ratio of yuza extract(100%, 75%, 50%) on the quality characteristics were evaluated. The quality characteristics of the samples were estimated in terms of sweetness, color difference, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation. Sweetness of the 18% mungbean groups were higher than 15% groups(p<0.001). The values of Hunter color system indicated that higher content of yuza extract tended to increase yellowness significantly(p<0.001). Texture profiles of hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess of yuza pyun showed no significant differences among samples. For sensory evaluation, color and sourness were decreased as yuza extract was diluted, whereas elasticity and sweetness were increased. Yuza pyun containing 18% of mungbean starch with 50% diluted extract was the most preferred in overall acceptability. According to multiple regression analysis, color, sweetness, elasticity and sourness(in order) were important control factors in overall acceptability.

Noodle texture parameters of Korean style wet and dry noodles and relationships between noodle quality and flour characteristics were evaluated for two years, 1997 and 1998, and at two locations, Suwon and Deokso, using Korean winter wheat cultivars and lines. No significant difference for chewiness was found between cultivars over locations. Noodles made from flours from 1997 showed significantly higher chewiness than those from 1998. Chewiness of cooked noodles showed positively significant correlations with protein content and SDS sedimentation volume and negatively significant correlations with starch peak viscosity and flour swelling volume. Korean winter wheat cultivars, except for Gobunmil, Keumkangmil Tapdongmil, Suwon 265 and Suwon 280, showed chewiness of cooked noodles similar to commercial flours used for noodle making in Korea and Japan.

This paper describes the use of the concept of (relative) entropy for effective characterization of the amplitude and the frequency distributions of the surface profile formed in machining operation. For this purpose, a theoretical model for surface texture formation in turning operation is developed first. Then, the concept of (relative) entropy is reviewed and its effectiveness is examined based on the simulation and experimental results. The results also suggest that under random tool vibration the effect of the geometrical factors on the surface texture formation can be successfully decomposed and therefore, identified by applying the concept of (relative) entropy.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is becoming a popular tool for various machine vision applications such as face recognition, classification and background subtraction. In this paper, we propose a new extension of LBP, called the Diagonal LBP (DLBP), to handle the image-based gender classification problem arise in interactive display systems. Instead of comparing neighbor pixels with the center pixel, DLBP generates codes by comparing a neighbor pixel with the diagonal pixel (the neighbor pixel in the opposite side). It can reduce by half the code length of LBP and consequently, can improve the computation complexity. The Support Vector Machine is utilized as the gender classifier, and the texture profile based on DLBP is adopted as the feature vector. Experimental results revealed that our approach based on the diagonal LPB is very efficient and can be utilized in various real-time pattern classification applications.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sous-vide cooking temperature on the triceps brachii of black goats. Triceps brachii of black goats (12 months) were sous-vide cooked at 55℃, 60℃, and 65℃. The samples were examined for color, scanning electron microscope photographs, sarcomere length, fiber cross-sectional area, cooking yield, shear force, sensory evaluation, and aromatic profile. The results showed that CIE a^*, CIE b^*, and chroma increased with increasing sous-vide cooking temperature. However, the cooking yield significantly decreased with increasing sous-vide cooking temperature, and the shear forces of the 60℃ and 65℃ samples showed no significant differences. For sensory evaluation, the 60℃ sample showed the highest scores for flavor, texture, and off-flavor. Furthermore, the 60℃ sample showed the significantly lowest value of octadienone (aroma characteristics of metallic) intensity (p<0.05). Therefore, sous-vide cooking of triceps brachii of black goats at 60℃ is effective in reducing off-flavor and improving tenderness.

The purposes of this study are to generate sensory profile, measure consumer acceptance, and determine liking and disliking factors of aseptic-packaged rice porridges (APRP). Five APRPs made by five different rice cultivars were used for this study. Twenty-one attributes were generated by trained panelists. Finally, 16 attributes were determined as descriptive terms for APRP. Each cultivar showed a different descriptive sensory profile. In a consumer acceptance test, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05) in the acceptances of the overall, appearance, taste, texture, viscosity, and rice particle texture among the 5 APRPs. SW52 showed the highest acceptance ratings in the overall, appearance, taste and texture, followed by SR. A total of 52% of consumers showed preference toward SW52 and SR. SW63 showed the lowest ratings and no consumer preference pattern. Consumers were divided into two groups by a cluster analysis; one was the consumers (C1) who liked APRP, and the other was the consumers (C2) who had a neutral stand in general. By correlating the results from descriptive analysis and consumer ratings from C1, liking and disliking factors for consumer acceptance were determined. The disliking factors were bitterness, feeling of surface, stickiness, metallic flavor, roasted aroma, and thickness. The liking factors were old cooked rice aroma/flavor. The disliking factors dominated in the determination of acceptability of APRP. Selecting rice cultivars that had low intensities of disliking factors is the key for APRP development.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of muffin made with tagatose which substituted sugar. Moisture contents were measured and Texture Profile Analysis was carried out during 3 day storage. 3 types of muffin, T0 (no tagatose added, sugar was the only sweet taste source), T25 (tagatose : sugar = 25:75(w/w), and T50 (tagatose : sugar = 50:50(w/w) were prepared. As the tagatose contents increased, the Maillard reaction proceeded more, so the color of the muffin crust was darker. Moisture contents of muffins decreased during storage, up to 2 days of storage, moisture contents of T25 and T50 were higher significantly, but at the 3rd day of storage, no differences were detected among samples. In the texture profile analysis, hardness, chewiness and fracturability were higher as the tagatose contents increased. Springiness and cohesiveness did not show any differences between T0 and T25 significantly. In the sensory evaluation, T0 got the lower points on the crust color value, but the crust colors were not significantly different among samples. Other characteristics like crumb color, moistness, sweetness, flavor and overall acceptance were not different significantly. As a result, when synbiotic and low-calorie tagatose was partly added to muffin up to 50 % as sugar substitute, overall qualities of those muffins were not different with only sugar added ones, even moisture contents were higher but color was a little bit darker, so tagatose can be used on making healthy muffins successfully.

Jeung-pyun was irradiated at 0, 5, 10 kGy and pH, reducing sugar, microbiological quality, texture profile analysis and sensory quality were investigated during storage for 2 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$. Irradiation significantly reduced total bacteria counts and indicated an increase in hardness with increasing irradiation dose. Treatments with 5, 10 kGy did not cause significant change in the PH, reducing sugar, but pH, reducing sugar, microbacterial counts in 0 kGy were increased during storage. Main putrefactive microorganisms of Jeung-pyun were identified as Bacillus subtlis. In texture profile analysis, cohesiveness and chewiness of all irradiated samples were observed to reduce during storage. In the result of sensory evaluation, the irradiated samples had higher scores than non-irradiated samples after 4 days.
