The principal objective of this study was to develop the optimal recipe for muffins prepared with replacement of sucrose with trehalose. The effects of trehalose on properties and staling of muffins during storage days(0, 1, 3, 5 days) were evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, crumbscan, colorimeter, texture analyzer and sensory evaluation. Crust thickness of muffins containing trehalose evaluated with crumbscan decreased as the content of trehalose increased. Lightness(L value) of muffins with trehalose increased for the storage days, but muffins without trehalose decreased. yellowness(b value) increased significantly as the trehalose content increased. Hardness value of muffins was reduced by adding trehalose; however, the resilience value of muffins with trehalose increased significantly. Finally, the sensory evaluation revealed that muffins with 25% of trehalose showed the best result in texture, taste and overall preference.

We demonstrated an effective way of preparing melt spinnable mesophase pitches via catalytic hydrogenation of petroleum residue (fluidized catalytic cracking-decant oil) and their subsequent thermal soaking. The mesophase pitches thus obtained were analyzed in terms of their viscosity, elemental composition, solubility, molecular weight, softening point and optical texture. We found that zeolite-induced catalytic hydrogenation under high hydrogen pressure contributed to a large variation in the properties of the pitches. As the hydrogen pressure increased, the C/H ratio decreased, and the solubility in n-hexane increased. The mesophase pitch with entirely anisotropic domains of flow texture exhibited good meltspinnability. The mesophase carbon fibers obtained from the catalytically hydrogenated petroleum residue showed moderate mechanical properties.

Purpose: This study performed the oscillatory test using the texture analyzer to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of apples such as the storage modulus (E'), the loss modulus (E"), the complex modulus (${\mid}E^*{\mid}$) and the energy dissipated per cycle ($W_{diss}$). Methods: The sinusoidal deformation with the frequency of 1-10 Hz and the maximum displacement of 0.1 mm were applied to the flesh tissues of Fuji, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious apples. The Lissajous figure was used to measure the phase angle(${\delta}$) between stress and strain curve. Results: Trigger force was critical to the measurement of the phase angle. E', E", ${\mid}E^*{\mid}$ and Wdiss were measured using the Lissajous figure and the phase angle. The complex modulus of Golden Delicious apple was significantly lower than those of Fuji apple and Red Delicious apple. Conclusions: Apple flesh was exhibiting more elasticity at low frequency, and more viscosity at high frequency. Dynamic compressive properties of Fuji apple were similar to those of Red Delicious apple but significantly different from those of Golden Delicious apple.

Friction stir welding was performed using six welding conditions to evaluate the mechanical properties and microstructure of the welded zone based on its temperature change in the extruded plate of magnesium alloy AZ61. The welded zone temperature was measured using a thermocouple, and the maximum temperature ranges for the advancing and retreating sides were approximately $210-315^{\circ}C$ and $254-339^{\circ}C$, respectively. Depending on the welding conditions, a temperature difference of more than $100^{\circ}C$ was observed. In addition, the maximum yield strength and maximum tensile strength of the welded component was 84.4% and 96.9%, respectively, of those of the base material. For the temperatures exceeding $300^{\circ}C$, oxidation defects occurred in the weld zone, which decreased the mechanical strength of the weld zone. The microstructure and texture confirmed that fracture occurred because of the grain size deviation of the welding tool and the severe anisotropy of the texture of the welded joints.

Recent advances in remote sensing techniques provide the potential for monitoring soil color as well as soil moisture conditions at the spatial and temporal scales required for detailed local modeling efforts. Soil moisture as well as soil color is a key feature used in the identification and classification of soils. Soil spectral reflectance has a direct relationship with soil color, as well as to other parameters such as soil moisture, soil texture. and organic matter. We evaluate the influence of seven soil properties, soil color and soil moisture, on soil spectral reflectance. This paper presents the results obtained from the ground-truth spectral reflectance measurements in the 300-1100 nm wavelength range for various land surfaces. The results suggest that the reflectance properties of soils are related to soil color, soil texture, and soil moisture. Increasing soil moisture content generally decreases soil reflectance which leads to parallel curves of soil reflectance spectra across the entire shortwave spectrum. We discuss the relationships between the soil reflectance and the Munsell Soil Color Charts which contain standard color chips with colors specified by designations for hue, value, and chroma.

In our previous report (Korean J. Food Sci. Technol., 9, 123. (1977), functional properties of soyprotein isolates prepared from defatted soybean meal were studied. Using those properties soyprotein fibers, which may be acceptable as meat analogs, were prepared with protein spinning apparatus. Soyprotein can be converted into the suitable form for the spinning by denaturation with alkali (0.6%) and continuous fibers were spun by extruding spinning solution into an 20% NaCl-1 N acetic acid coagulating bath. The process for producing soyprotein fibers on a bench scale was described and break strength, break elongation and textural parameters of the fibers formed were evaluated. The possible scheme of formation of soyprotein fibers was discussed.

The C-type mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber (C-MPCF) was prepared throuch C-type spinnerette and compared the mechanical properties to those of round type mesophase pitch fiber (R-MPCF) and C-type isotropic pitch fiber (C-iPCF). The tensile strength and modulus of C-MPCF were about 18.6% and 35.7% higher than those of R-MPCF. The tensile strength of C-MPCF was 62% higher than that of C-iPCF of the same $8{\mu}m$ thickness because of more linear transverse texture, which could be easily converted to graphitic crystallinity during heat treatment. The torsional rigidity of C-MPCF was 2.37 times higher than that of R-MPCF. The electrical resistivity of C-MPCF was $8{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$. The C-iPCF shows far lower electrical resistivity than R-iPCF as well as the mesophase carbon fiber because of better alignment of texture to the fiber axis.

The quality characteristics of breads with different concentrations(2%, 4%) of Paecilomyces japonica (J2, J4) and Cordyceps militaris (M2, M4) powder were compared in terms if sensory and mechanical properties. In the sensory test, J2 and M2 groups gained good scores in taste, texture and odor acceptance as control grourp. Paecilomyces japonica-added group showed higher moisture and bigger volume than that of control group, and Cordyceps militaris group showed lower moisture content and decreasing volume. 'L' values of J and M groups was lower than control, and the longer the storage period, the lower the lightness. The more Paecilomyces japonica was added, the higher the 'a' value was, but Cordyceps militaris showed an opposite trend. The hardness of the bread was the lowest in J2 group and the highest in M4 group, and the longer tile storage period. the higher the hardness was (p＜.001). Overall, the addition of 2% Paecilomyces japonica showed a similar tendency with control group, and showed good scores especially in acceptance, moisture and volume. Paecilomyces japonica appeared to be more desirable than Cordyceps militaris.

Effect of the cellulase treatment on the physicochemical properties of three varieties of rice (chucheongbyeo, chosengtongilbyeo and IR 36) and the texture of cooked rice were investigated. The swelling power and solubility of the rice flours were increased and amylographic viscosities, especially cold viscosities were decreased by cellulase treatment in all varieties. Gel chromatography of soluble carbohydrates from cellulase-treated rice flours on sepharose 2B-CL showed a singificant increase of low molecular weight $(10^{4})$ fraction which might be produced upon hydrolysis in endosperm cell wall constituents. The hardness of cooked rices prepared from cellulose-treated rices significantly decreased.
