Effects of addition of sorghum flour on the quality properties of wheat flour muffin were investigated. Initial pasting temperature and peak viscosity on amylograph increased with the concentrations of sorghum flour added, but final viscosity decreased. The lightness values decreased with the increase of sorghum flour contents in muffin, but redness values increased. The sorghum flour addition at 10% level did not affect the volume of muffin, but the volume of muffin containing 30% sorghum flour was significantly decreased compared to that of control. Most of texture parameters such as hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were not affected by the addition of sorghum flour up to 20% level. As results of sensory evaluation, appearance and flavor of muffins by addition of sorghum flour differed significantly from the control, but there were no differences among the muffins containing sorghum flour at 10, 20, and 30% levels. Texture of 10% sorghum flour muffin was similar to that of the control, but there was a significant difference in texture by 30% sorghum flour addition. However, taste and overall acceptability did not differ significantly up to 30% level.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of sponge cake quality added with different levels of Schizandra chinensis powder. Schizandra chinensis sponge cake was prepared with different levels of Schizandra chinensis (0, 5, 15, 20%). The proximate composition contents of Schizandra chinensis powder were analyzed as composed of 8.732% moisture, 10.25 crude protein, 8.63 crude lipid, and 1.98 crude ash. Results show that the baking loss rate was decreased with levels of Schizandra chinensis powder added, and the height was decreased as the Schizandra chinensis powder increased. As added ratio of Schizandra chinensis powder increased, L and b values were decreased. In addition, the texture properties result showed that the hardness and cohesiveness of sponge cake increased as the Schizandra chinensis powder added, while springiness decreased. Last, the sensory evaluation showed that the group of 5% Schizandra chinensis powder had the highest preference scores. Therefore, Sponge cake added with 5% Schizandra chinensis powder add gave the better taste and quality to sponge cakes in this study.

We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies made with Chungkukjang powder. Chungkukjang is a well-known nutritional supplement. Cookie samples were made by adding differrent quantities of Chungkukjang powder(0%, 4%, 8% and 12%). We examined the resulting, moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of the cookies. While the moisture and, a and b value of the cookies significantly increased when more Chungkukjang powder was added (p<0.01), the pH, L value, spread factor and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased(p<0.01). Cookies containing 0% and 4% Chungkukjang powder had similar sensory evaluation score in terms of color, taste and flavor cookies made with 4% Chungkukjang powder had the highest texture and overall consumer acceptability scores.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics and freshness of wild and cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus during storage. By the results of morphological observation, wild Paralichthys olivaceus had white abdomen, light black skin and transparent muscle, but cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus had black spotted abdomen, dark black skin and dark pink muscle. Moisture contents of wild and cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus were similar, but the lipid content was higher in cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus than that of wild Paralichthys olivaceus. Sensory scores of appearance, taste, texture and overall acceptability were higher in wild Paralichthys olivaceus than that of cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus. The reason was that lipid content was higher in cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus The freshness of cultivated Paralichthys olivaceus seemed to last shorter than that of wild one due to rapid increase of the volatile basic nitrogen content, pH and total microbial count during storage.

Tofu has been playing an important role in people's daily diet in most of Asia and recently in North America due to several health-promoting functions, preventing and treating a number of chronic diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease and osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of yakong incorporation (0, 5, 10, and 15%, w/w) in preparation of firm tofu. Quality parameters such as pH, titratable, moisture content, color, and consumer preference were determined, and their correlations were analysed. There were no significant differences in pH, titratable acidity, and moisture content due to different levels of yakong incorporation studied (p>0.05). A significant decrease in L$^{*}$ and b$^{*}$-values whereas significant increase in a$^{*}$-value was observed (p<0.05). Five percent yakong tofu received the most favorable mean scores with respect to color, texture, and overall acceptability. Correlation analysis revealed that yakong incorporation was well correlated with some of physicochemical properties as well as consumer preference.

This study was conducted to assess the acceptability of the desirable serving temperatures of soups by evaluating the sensory characteristics of Radish Clear Beef Soup, Meat Pot Stew, and Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup used in the Foodservice Establishment. 1. Taste revealed a better acceptability under a high temperature than that under a low temperature in three soups. 2. The aroma of Meat Pot Stew, Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup showed a significant difference for each temperature, and especially, Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup showed a better sabory aroma at $80^{\circ}C{\sim}85^{\circ}C$. 3. Meat Pot Stew showed little significant differences in color and in its change among three soups. Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup did not make any change of color at both $35^{\circ}C{\sim}40^{\circ}C\;and\;50^{\circ}C{\sim}55^{\circ}C$. 4. In a Meat Pot Stew case, appearance conspicuously changed at $35^{\circ}C{\sim}40^{\circ}C$, which resulted in losing appetite. Three soups showed a good response above at $65^{\circ}C$ and a very poor response at below $55^{\circ}C$. 5. Radish Clear Beef Soup, Meat Pot Stew, Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup showed a tender texture at above $80^{\circ}C,\;65^{\circ}C\;and\;50^{\circ}C$. 6. Chewiness showed a good acceptability from $50^{\circ}C\;to\;80^{\circ}C$ in Radish Clear Beef Soup, Chinese Cabbage Beanpaste Soup cases, but only in the case of Meat Pot Stew showed good response at $80^{\circ}C{\sim}85^{\circ}C$. 7. In cases of Radish Clear Beef soup, Meat Pot Stew, bland and stinking aroma, and aftertaste were increased remarkably in proportion as temperature was lowered. In case of Meat Pot Stew, especially, it turned out to be almost impossible to eat at $35^{\circ}C{\sim}40^{\circ}C$. 8. In cases of Radish Clear Beef Soup, Chinese Cabbage Heanpaste Soup, overall acceptability at $65^{\circ}C$ was comparatively good but aroma and taste at below $65^{\circ}C$ was so bad that there was the eminent tendency to avoid tasting.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality and antioxidant properties of white breads enhanced with broccoli powder (BP) (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0%). L-value significantly decreased with increasing levels of BP, but a- and b-values increased (p<0.05). Baking loss rate, bread volume, and specific volume were reduced with the addition of BP, whereas the pH of the dough and bread weight increased. The hardness, gumminess and brittleness of breads with BP were higher than those of control breads (p<0.05). Upon sensory evaluation, the 2.5% and 5.0% BP breads showed no significant differences in color, flavor, taste, texture, or overall acceptability compared with controls (p<0.05). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of bread significantly increased with increasing BP content (p<0.05). Accordingly, bread quality can be improved by the substitution of 5% BP in place of flour.
