We studied the proteolysis and conducted a sensory evaluation of fermented sausages using strains derived from Kimchi [Pediococcus pentosaceus-SMFM2021-GK1 (GK1); P. pentosaceus-SMFM2021-NK3 (NK3)], Doenjang [Debaryomyces hansenii-SMFM2021-D1 (D1)], and spontaneous fermented sausage [Penicillium nalgiovense-SMFM2021-S6 (S6)]. Fermented sausages were classified as commercial starter culture (CST), mixed with GK1, D1, and S6 (GKDS), and mixed with NK3, D1, and S6 (NKDS). The protein content and pH of GKDS and NKDS were significantly higher than those of CST on days 3 and 31, respectively (p<0.05). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the NKDS had higher molecular weight proteins than the GKDS and CST. The myofibrillar protein solubility of the GKDS and NKDS was significantly higher than that of the CST on day 31 (p<0.05). The GKDS displayed significantly higher pepsin and trypsin digestion than the NKDS on day 31 (p<0.05). The hardness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness of the GKDS were not significantly different from those of the CST. The GKDS exhibited the highest values for flavor, tenderness, texture, and overall acceptability. According to this study, sausages fermented using lactic acid bacteria (GK1), yeast (D1), and mold (S6) derived from Korean fermented foods displayed high proteolysis and excellent sensory evaluation results.

This study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Seockryu-pyun by addition of different ratio of pomegranate juice and pomegranate concentrate (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%). Moisture and the pH increased as the content of pomegranate juice and pomegranate concentrate decreased respectivley. However, DPPH radical scavenging activity was decreased when adding pomegranate juice and pomegranate concentrate was decreased. With decreasing pomegranate juice addition, both the lightness(L) and yellowness(b) was significantly (p<0.05) higher, whereas, the redness(a) was significantly (p<0.05) lower. As addition of pomegranate concentrate was decreasing that lightness, a value and b value were higher. Texture profiles of hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness of Seockryu-pyun was not greatly showed significant difference among samples. Also, springiness was not significantly (p<0.05) different in any groups. For sensory evaluation, color and sourness were decreased as pomegranate juice and pomegranate concentrate was diluted. Seockryu-pyun, PJ3 made with addition of 60% pomegranate juice was the most preferred in overall acceptability. From the results, the most advisable mixture ratio of Seockryu-pyun was found as pomegranate juice 360 g (60%), water 240 g, mungbean starch 60 g and sugar 200 g.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics of red ginseng wet noodles prepared with additions of carrageenan, xanthan gum, or guar gum. The quality characteristics of the samples were estimated in terms of their general composition, color differences, cooking characteristics, textural attributes, sensory qualities, and microbial growth during storage. The results were as follows. Protein content was significantly decreased in the guar gum added group and ash content was significantly increased in the carrageenan added group (p<0.05). Lipid, water, and Na contents were not significant different among the groups. However, water binding capacity was significantly increased in the group with added xanthan gum. Over 10 weeks of storage, water contents did not differ significantly between the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups. In all the added gum groups, L- and a- values were significantly increased whereas b- values decreased (p<0.05). In texture profile analyses, chewiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and springiness were significantly increased in the carrageenan and xanthan gum added groups (p<0.05). According to sensory evaluations, surface color, red ginseng flavor, red ginseng taste, softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were considered very good in the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups (p<0.05). Therefore, the red ginseng noodles containing xanthan gum and guar gum were deemed most preferable and presented the safest shelf-life during 10 weeks at -$10^{\circ}C$.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the preservation of traditional sesame dasik when stored in different packaging material by comparing its physical and sensorial characteristics. The quality and sensory characteristics of sesame dasik that were evaluated were moisture content, water activity, number of microflora, texture profile, Hunter color different value, and sensory properties (color, chewiness, overall acceptability, etc) during the storage at 35\pm1^\circ{C}$ temperature and $73\pm{2%}$ relative humidity. And the packaging materials were paper boxes (coated 0.02mm thickness polyethylene film), plastic boxes, and oriented polypropylene laminated film. Traditional sesame dasik is made from sesame powder 100g, honey 25g, rice syrup 25g, and table salt 0.5g. During the storage period, the changes in water content and water activity of sesame dasik with different packaging material showed a slight decline. On the other hand, it increased in hardness, and "a" and "b" value of Hunter color difference during the storage. Texture profile analysis data change in hardness was the greatest after the third day in a paper box, and it was affected by the moisture content of dasik and the temperature and relative humidity of the air. Therefore plastic boxes or oriented polypropylene laminated film was found to be better suited than paper boxes for storing sesame dasik.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of acorn ($Quercus$ autissima carruther) powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts of acorn powder (at ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to total flour quantity). Antioxidant activity was estimated based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenol content in acorn powder and cookies. To analyze quality characteristics, bulk density, pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. Loss rate, a values, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01), whereas pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01). The results of sensory evaluation (appearance, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference) demonstrate that the 3% acorn cookie group showed the highest degree of preference among all items of added acorn powder. From these results, we suggest that acorn is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

This study investigated the quality and antioxidative properties of a Korean steamed-rice cake, Sulgidduk added with Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract, and vitamin C. Sulgidduk was prepared by adding Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract at 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% of rice powder. Antioxidant activities were measured by the scavenging activities of DPPH radicals, $ABTS^+$ radicals, $superoxide^-$ radicals and the reducing power. For analyzing quality characteristics, proximate composition, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The antioxidative effect of the Sulgidduk significantly increased as the addition level increased, compared to the original Sulgidduk (p<0.001). As the content of Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts increased, L-values significantly decreased while the a-value and b-value significantly increased (p<0.001). For the texture profile analysis, the control group had a significantly higher value for hardness as compared to the Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract-added groups (p<0.05). Springiness, chewiness and adhesiveness were not significantly different among the samples. In the sensory evaluation, the samples containing 0.1% and 0.2% Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts obtained better results in attribute. From these results, we suggest that Prunus yedoensis Matsumura is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of Sulgidduk.

Aloe is an attractive potential food source because it has functional uses. It has been widely used as a well-being food and drink. The antioxidant activity was estimated by measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity. We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared by adding various concentrations of aloe powder (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, moisture content, and hardness of cookies significantly increased with increasing aloe powder, while the pH, spread factor and L and b values slightly decreased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of texture were shown to be very similar statistically, but color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability scores were lower than the control. As a result of this study, the quality of cookies with the addition of 1% aloe powder were the most suitable in terms of taste, flavor, texture, and sensory properties.
