We investigated quality changes in dumpling shells prepared using various concentrations of Enteromorpha intestinalis powder(EIP). Dumpling shells were prepared by addition of 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%(all w/w) EIP to the flour used in the basic formulation. The gelatinization temperature of the EIP-wheat flour composite increased whereas initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 min, and maximum viscosity, all fell with increasing EIP content, as measured by amylography. In addition, the Hunter's color L, a, and b values decreased significantly with increasing amounts of EIP. All of cooked weight, cooked volume, and water absorption of dumpling shells prepared with EIP were significantly greater than control values. In terms of textural characteristics, addition of EIP increased hardness, springiness, and chewiness, but decreased adhesiveness and cohesiveness. Sensory evaluation showed that dumpling shells prepared with 5% (w/w) EIP were preferred.

Effects of sangwhang mushroom (Phellinus linteus) powder and extract on quality of wet noodle were investigated by adding sangwhang mushroom powder at 2% (w/w: II) of wheat flour and extract at 17 (v/w: III) and 34% (v/w: IV) based on flour source, respectively. Significant decreases were found in L values of dough and noodle, while a and b values increased in proportion to addition of sangwhang mushroom. Addition of sangwhang mushroom decreased volume of cooked noodles, but increased turbidity of soup. Tensions of cooked noodle samples of II, III, IV, and control were 12.17, 17.61, 17.57, and 14.90g, respectively. Sensory properties, including color, flavor, taste, and texture, of noodles added with sangwhang mushroom extracts (III, IV) were significantly superior to control (I) and noodle added with powder (II). These results suggest addition of sangwhang mushroom extract is more suitable than powder for noodle processing.

The study was carried out to investigate the quality of the wet noodle added with the powders of nopal and nopalitos from Opuntia ficus-indica. The wet noodles were prepared to the ratio of 3, 6 and 9% (w/w) of the nopal and the nopalitos based on a flour weight. The initial pasting temperature and final viscosity in an amylograph decreased as the increase of the nopal and the nopalitos powders. A cooked weight and volume decreased with the increase of the nopal and the nopalitos powders, while a cooking loss increased. From the sensory evaluation, the wet noodles included 3% nopalitos and 6% nopal powders were similarly evaluated as the noodle used whole wheat flour. Bacterial counts of wet noodle with the nopal and the nopalitos powders were always lower than those of the control. Bacterial counts of wet noodle slowly increased as the increase of the amount of nopal and the nopalitos powders during storage at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. The methanol extracts from the nopal showed antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157 : H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Bacillus subtilis, while the extracts from the nopalitos showed antimicrobial activity only against Escherichia coli.

The objective of this study was to investigate an influence of chitosan addition on quality attributes of sponge cake. The cake was made with various chitosan concentration (1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 ppm), and it was stored for 120 hr at three temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$). By analyzing the moxogram data of wheat flour-chitosan composite flour, the ascending angle of the samples containing chitosan was sharply increased and the descending angle had lower values compared to that of control as the chitosan addition concentration was increased. The loaf weights and volumes of the samples with chitosan were increased compared to those of the control. Crumb firmness of the control showed relatively high value compared to those ($5\~6$ N) of other samples containing chitosan regardless of storage temperature and storage period, and the firmness after 5 days storage at $5^{\circ}C$ showed the highest value (about 9.3 N). Sensory evaluation attributes of sponge cakes did not show significant differences by chitosan addition up to concentration of 2,000 ppm.

To utilize oyster cannery processing waste water effectively, this study was carried out to prepare instant powdered soup using oyster wash water. Instant powdered soup from oyster hot-water extracts (HWE) was prepared by mixing oyster spray-dried hot-water extracts (15 g) with table salt (5 g), cream powder (19 g), milk replacer (12 g), wheat flour (20 g), corn flour (15 g), starch (5 g), glucose (7.5 g) and onion powder (1.5 g). In preparing instant powdered soup from oyster wash water (OWW), powder from oyster spray-dried wash water instead of the spray-dried hot water extracts, was added and other additives were added in proportion to those in the HWE. The OWW consists mainly of carbohydrates (71.1%). It was not different from the instant powdered soup from hot-water extracts. The volatile basic nitrogen, vaible cell counts, coliform group of instant powdered soup from oyster wash water contains 29.4 mg/100g, $4.6{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$, <18 MPN/100g, respectively and its water activity has 0.246. So it was a hygienically safe and conservable instant food. The main fatty acid of OWW was 16 : 0 and 18 : 1n-9. Its chemical score of protein was 59.4% and its main inorganic matter was iron. According to a sensory evaluation, in contrast to the HWE, the OWW had a slightly lower aroma but better taste. It was concluded from the above chemical and sensual evaluation that the oyster wash water can be used as a flavor enhancer for instant powdered soup.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and retarding retrogradation of sponge cakes made with red yeast rice (RYR) flour. RYR (Monascus nuruk) is known to help digestion, smooth blood flow, and have anti-cancer, anti-microbial, and inhibitory effects against biosynthesis of cholesterol and blood pressure. This studys aim' was to find the optimal proportion of RYR flour in sponge cake. RYR sponge cakes were prepared with various levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) replacement of wheat flour and were designated as the control (without RYR), RYR5, RYR10, RYR15 and RYR20 respectively. Specific gravity was the lowest in RYR15 at 0.57, and the baking loss rate was not significantly different among the samples (p<0.05). The dough yield was the highest in RYR15 at 96.61. The moisture contents was highest in order, control, RYR5, and RYR15 at 28.67%, 28.18%, and 26.82% respectively. The L-value of crust tended to increase according to the level of RYR, but the L-value of crumb decreased in accorddance with the the content of RYR. The a-value of crust also decreased according to the level of RYR, although the a-value of crumb increased in response to higher levels of RYR. The b-value tended to decrease with increases of RYR (p<0.05). RYR5 exhibited the highest pH at 8.63, compared with RYR15 (8.57). The hardness, which was measured after cooling for 1 hour, was the lowest in RYR15 at $163.33g/cm^2$ and the springiness was not different significantly (p<0.05). Cohesiveness was the highest in RYR10 at 133.06%. The chewiness was the highest in RYR10 at $391.63g{\cdot}cm$ and lowest in RYR15 ast $169.62g{\cdot}cm$. Avrami equation showed that RYR15 and RYR20 had the lowest Avrami exponent (n) at 0.0664 and 0.4983 respectively. Time constant (1/k) was the highest in RYR15 at 200.00. Sensory evaluation revealed that RYR15 was the highest in color (5.50), flavor (4.95), sweetness (4.90), chewiness (4.75), and overall acceptability (4.60).

Rice consumption in Korea has been decreasing as the eating habits of the Korean people have diversified with rapid economic growth. Recently, floury endosperm rice cultivars were developed to boost rice consumption and replace wheat flour consumption with rice flour, which is vulnerable to viviparity under wet weather during the grain-filling stage because of its loosely packed starch granule structures. To overcome this limitation, it is necessary to find a suitable rice transplanting date to produce high-quality rice flour by altering the heading ecology type and changing the cultivation time by region. We examined four floury endosperm rice cultivars (FERC) in the Cheongju (central plain area) and Boeun (mid-mountainous area) regions of Korea from 2017 to 2019. Of the FERCs, the mid-late maturing types (MMT) Seolgaeng (SG), Hangaru (HGR), and Shingil (SGL) exhibited high yield and yield components after transplanting May 30 in both regions; the early maturing type (EMT) Garumi 2 (GRM2) also exhibited high yield after transplanting June 20 in Cheongju. In addition, MMTs showed the same tendency as the characteristics shown in Cheongju when grown in the Boeun region, and EMT displayed high yield and yield components after transplanting June 10. The FERCs could easily present pre-harvest sprouting in the rainy season during the grain-filling stage after 20 days post-heading because the mean temperature and frequency of more three-day rainfalls have increased over the last 5 years from the previous annual averages. Viviparity of HGR and GRM2 decreased as the transplanting date was delayed, with decreases of 2.3%-4.6% in HGR and 11.9%-23.1% in GRM2 according to the region. SGL was generally resistant to viviparity because of the Tongil type. To minimize pre-harvest sprouting and produce high yield of rice flour in the Chungbuk province, the most suitable transplanting time was the end of May in MMT and the middle and end of June in EMT.

Durum wheat semolina was added into wet-milled rice flour in order to improve chewy texture, firm bite ("al dente"), and resistance to overcooking of the ordinary rice noodles. Wet noodles were prepared by mixing 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20% (w/w) of semolina per semolina and rice flour mixtures. Vital gluten (4%, w/w) and salt (2%, w/w) were added to form the pliable strands of wet noodles and final moisture contents of the raw mixtures were equalized at 45%. Pasting properties of the suspended flour mixtures as measured by the Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) showed slight increases (up to $1.2^{\circ}C)$ in pasting temperatures along with the considerable decreases in peak viscosities as semolina increased at over 15%. Reduced shear thinning and retrogradation of the starch solution that leads to hardening of the cooked noodles were indicated by lowered breakdown viscosities and gaps between finaland setback viscosities from the RVA viscogram as semolina increased at over 10%. Reduced water uptake and turbidity increases of the cooking water as caused by the soluble starches from the noodle were also noted as the content of semolina increased. More or less significant (p<0.05) decreases in colorimetric L (lightness) value of the raw- and cooked noodles were observed as semolina increased while a- (redness) and b (yellowness) values were rather increased at the same moment. Textural properties of the cooked noodles such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness from TPA tests were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by added semolina, even at 5%-levels or more. It can be concluded that addition of semolina into rice flour could provide easy handling of the wet noodles without distortion during transportation, integrity and firm bite of the cooked noodles, and less loss of starch to the cooking water in comparison with the ordinary rice noodle. It was finally suggested that optimum level of the semolina in the product was approximately 10% for the quality wet rice noodle products.

This study was conducted to investigate in vitro methane production of feed ingredients and relationship between the content of crude nutrients and methane production. Feed ingredients (total 26) were grouped as grains (5 ingredients), brans and hulls (8), oil seed meals (9) roughages (3), and animal by-product (1) from their nutrient composition and their methane production protential were measured by in vitro gas test. Among the groups, the in vitro methane productions for both 6 and 24 h incubation were highest in grains, followed by brans and hulls, oil meals and roughages, animal byproducts. Within the group of grains, methane production from wheat flour was the highest, followed by wheat, corn, tapioca, and then oat. Within the brans and hulls, soybean hull showed the highest methane production and cotton seed hull, the lowest. Methane production from oil meals was lower compared with grains and brans and hulls, and in decreasing order production from canola meal was followed by soybean meal, coconut meal, and corn germ meal (p<0.01). Three ingredients were selected and the interactions among feed ingredients were evaluated for methane production. Correlation coefficient between measured and estimated values of the combinations were 0.91. Methane production from each feed ingredient was decreased with increasing amount of crude fiber (CF), protein (CP) and ether extract (EE), whereas positive relationship was noted with the concentrations of N-free extract (NFE). The multiple regression equation (n=134) for methane production and nutrient concentrations was as follows. Methane production (ml/0.2 g DM)=(0.032${\times}$CP)-(0.057${\times}$EE)-(0.012${\times}$CF)+(0.124${\times}$NFE) (p<0.01; $R^2$=0.929). Positive relationship was noted for CP and NFE and negative relationship for CF and EE. It seems possible to predict methane production potential from nutritional composition of the ingredients for their effective application on formulating less methane emitting rations.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Curcuma longa L. powder (CLP) on the quality characteristics of a dumpling shell. Dumpling shell samples were prepared with wheat flour and different amounts of CLP were added to them, after which their instrumental characteristics and sensory evaluation were investigated. The gelatinization temperature of the CLP-wheat flours composite increased, whereas its initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 min and maximum viscosity all fell with the increasing CLP content, as measured via amylography. As increasing amounts of CLP were added, the L value decreased, whereas the a and b values increased. With regard to the textural characteristics, the CLP additive became harder, more cohesive and adhesive, and less springy. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity increased significantly as the CLP content increased (p<0.05). Overall, the dumpling shells with 3% CLP were preferred over the other samples, as tested via sensory evaluation.
