Wet noodles with different percentages of amaranth powder were prepared and their cooking characteristics were evaluated. The cooking quality, mechanical textural properties, and a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. Cooked noodle properties, weight, and volume decreased as amaranth content of the wheat flour increased, whereas turbidity and water absorption of the soup increased, except for cooked noodles with 30% amaranth. The L-value of the raw and cooked noodles decreased significantly with increasing amaranth powder content. The a- and b-values increased with increasing amounts of added amaranth powder. The L-value of the raw and cooked noodles with amaranth was significantly lower than that of the control, and the a-value was lower than that of the control, whereas the b-value was higher than that of the control for both raw and cooked noodles. A texture profile analysis of the raw noodles showed significantly higher levels of hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and springiness in the amaranth noodles compared to those in the control; the values for adhesiveness were not significantly different. The hardness, gumminess, springiness, and chewiness of the cooked noodles decreased in proportion to the quantity of added amaranth. The springiness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness of cooked noodles with amaranth decreased slightly. Overall, the results of a sensory evaluation revealed that the cooked noodles with amaranth had higher values than those of the control, except for overall acceptability. Amaranth added at a concentration of up to 30% increased brown color and the peculiar amaranth odor. In a sensory evaluation, cooked noodles with 20% amaranth powder were preferred more than the other noodles for overall acceptability.

Quality characteristics of conventional and whey noodles were investigated by studying the textural properties. cooking properties, and sensory characteristics. The whey noodles were prepared by mixing whey powder with the wheat flour before noodle production, with the mixture ratio ranging between 1 and 7% in volume. The results are summarized as follows : the addition of whey powder noticeably improved the textural characteristics of the cooked noodles, i.e. hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. The best results were obtained using the following percentage of whey in the mixture: the hardness with 1% added, the gumminess and chewiness with 3% added, and the elasticity with a 7% addiction. The tension force also increased with addition of whey powder, The highest tension force was obtained when 3% of the whey was mixed. While the cooking water of the general noodles displayed a light reddish tint, the cooking water of the whey noodles had a yellow-greenish tint. The cooking water of the whey noodles was more turbid than that of the conventional noodles. The whey noodles increased in volume more than the conventional noodles. after cooking. There was no difference in weight increase and water absorption rates between both types of noodles. More favorable results were shown for appearance, color, texture, and sensory acceptability in the whey noodle than in the conventional noodles.

This study investigated the quality of noodles added with different amounts of freeze-dried fish scale collagen mixture powder (FDCMP). Freeze-dried fish scale collagen mixture was prepared by mixing ingredients (fish scale collagen : herb extracts : dextrin : distilled water=1:0.75:0.25:2), which were freeze-dried. Noodles were prepared by adding 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% (w/w) FDCMP based on flour weight. Cooked noodle weight and volume decreased with increasing amount of FDCMP, whereas turbidity of soups significantly increased. The water-binding capacity of FDCMP was higher than that of flour. Uncooked and cooked noodles showed reduced L values as well as increased a and b values increasing amount of FDCMP in the flour composite. Hardness and chewiness of cooked noodles significantly decreased with increased FDCMP content. Adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and gumminess increased with increased FDCMP content. Springiness and resilience were not significantly different between the control and FDCMP group. Finally, sensory evaluation results indicated that texture, mouthfeel, and overall preference of noodles containing 0.5% FDCMP were higher compared to those of the other samples. Based on cooking properties and sensory evaluation, freeze-dried fish scale collagen mixture powder up to 0.5% could be substituted for wheat flour to improve noodle quality.

Yam Yackwa (YP) was made by addition of yam power (15%) into flour. Depending on extension of storage time, lightness and redness of YP were increased. Yellowness of YP was decreasing until 3 days and increased from 9 days of storage. However, the yellowness of Yackwa without Yam powder (Non-YP) was increasing until 3 days and decreased from 6 days of storage. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of YP were improved compared to Non-YP. It means that the addition of yam power makes Yackwa soft. Oil absorption of Non-YP was low. Acid value and peroxide value of YP were 1.57 and 19.04, respectively. Moisture contents, crude ash, crude fat, crude protein, and carbohydrate of YP were $2.55{\pm}0.08%$, $0.71{\pm}0.01%$, $6.11{\pm}0.06%$, $15.97{\pm}1.40%$, and $64.66{\pm}0.09%$, respectively.

Lactic acid fermentation of Flammulina velutipes (FV) powder was optimized to produce higher content of ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA). FV powder (10%) was fermented with 0.5% yeast extract, 1% glucose, 5% mono sodium-L-glutamate (MSG) by Lactobacillus plantarum EJ2014 for 5 days at $30^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased from 6.1 to 4.4 for first 2 days after then increased to 6.2 for following 5 days. While the acidity increased from 0.5% to 1.3% for 2 days, after then decreased to 0.4% for 5 days. Viable cell count showed higher value of $2.2{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ after fermentation for 5 days. In particular, 3.54% MSG as a substrate was completely utilized during lactic acid fermentation, indicating higher 2.31% GABA content. The fermented FV powder showed higher antioxidant properties than that of un-fermented FV power. $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging and ABTS radical scavenging activities were 1.11 mg/mL and 2.58 mg/mL, respectively. Conclusively, natural fermented seasoning from the lactic acid fermentation of 30g of FV powder and 1 g of roasted wheat bran could provide the functional ingredients with 17% GABA, probiotics and dietary fiber, which is used for health food and functional seasoning.

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.

This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of utilizing concentrates of sunmul(soybean curd whey), the waste by-product of soybean curd processing, as functional food ingredients. Sunmul was concentrated by nanofiltration fo11owing ultrafiltration and then freeze-dried. The oil adsorption capacity of the nanofiltraion(NF) powder(97.33g/100g) was similar to that of sunmul powder(94.17g/100g), but was lower than that of ISP(isolated soy protein). However, the water holding capacity of NF powder could not be determined because the NF powder completely dissolved in water. The protein solubilities of sunmul powder and ISP in distilled H$_{2}$O, 0.1M and 0.5M NaCl were lowest at pH 4.0 and increased at more acidic or alkaline conditions. However, the protein solubility of NF powder was at its minimum at pH 6.0 and increased at more acidic or alkaline conditions. Emulsifying activity indexes of NF powder in 4% and 6% solution were minimal at pH 4.0 and 6.0, respectively, which were 3 to 8 times lower than that of sunmul powder. The emulsion stability of 4% sunmul solution was lowest at pH 4.0, but that of NF powder was highest at pH 5.0 and decreased at more acidic or alkaline conditions at all concentrations of solution. The total free amino acid contents of protein in sunmul, and NF power were 99.07 and 2,110.10mg%, respectively, and NF powder exhibited especially high threonine content. Rapid viscosity analysis of dough with 1 to 5% added NF powder demonstrated that all of the peak and final viscosities decreased with increasing NF powder concentration compared to the control.

Meju is a basis for manufacturing Kanjang, Meju was traditionally prepared at home by different types of process depending on the regional area. It is necessary to standardize and simplify the process of Meju-preparation for Kanjang of good quality. For these purposes, the process of Meju and Kangjang making as well as analysis of commercial Kanjang, were compared. Generally, traditional Meju was prepared by steeping and dehulling the whole soybean. After steeping for 24hr. soybean absorbed water up to 110~120% of its weight. The soaked soybeans were steamed for 2hr. and cooled to 5$0^{\circ}C$. Cooked soybeans were crushed down to the size of 10~15 mesh and molded. Molded soybeans were dried for 2 days in the air, hung up by rice straw and fermented for 20~30 days under natural environmental condition. On the other hand, commercial soybean koji was made of defatted soybean. Defatted soybeans were steeped in water and steamed for 15~30min at 0.7~1.2 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Steamed and defatted soybean was cooled to 4$0^{\circ}C$. Separately, wheat power was roasted at 200~30$0^{\circ}C$ by wheat roaster. Mixture of steamed defatted soybean and roasted wheat powder (5/5 to 7/3) were inoculated with 0.1~0.2% Aspergillus sojae and incubated for 2 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$ with occasional stirring. Chemical analysis showed that traditional soy sauces contained the following composition: NaCl, 20.12~25.42%; total nitrogen, 0.64~0.91%; pure extract, 9.47~11.20%; color, 2.34~4.01; pH, 4.92~5.12. Commercial products contained: NaCl, 15.20~17.19%; total nitrogen, 1.25~1.40%; pure extract, 18.17~21.47%; color, 5.41~21.12; pH, 4.51~4.66 and ethalnol. 2.97~3.12%. Organoleptic test on taste, color and flavor of traditional and commercial soysauce indicated that most of the consumers prefer commercial products to traditional products. Preferrable formulation of Kanjang based on organoleptic test of soy sauces was assumed as containing; NaCl, 16.0%; total nitrogen, 1.40%; pure extract, 19.97%; color, 12.98; pH, 4.61 and ethanol, 2.96.

Bread made after replacement of commercial hard wheat flour with lotus leaf flour (2.5 - 7.5%, w/w) was tested for dough and baking qualities, and by sensory evaluation. The loaf volumes of bread baked with 5% and 7.5% lotus leaf flour were 87% and 80%, respectively, of control (wheat flour only); by contrast, the volume of bread baked with 2.5% lotus leaf flour was 5% greater than control. The hardness of breadcrumbs baked with 2.5% lotus leaf flour was 64.5 g on day 0, and compared with control bread, hardness increased more slowly during storage for 3 days when 5% or 7.5% lotus leaf flour was used. Moreover, dough hardness increased with increasing levels of lotus leaf flour. Lightness decreased with addition of lotus leaf flour, but redness and yellowness significantly increased, in proportion to lotus leaf flour levels. Sensory tests on 2.5% lotus leaf flour bread showed no significant difference compared with control.

This study was designed to determine the optimal ratio of dropwort powder in castella by adding the powder at levels of 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% respectively. The properties of the castella were analyzed by specific gravity, specific volume, color determinations, texture properties and sensory evaluation. The Specific gravity increased with increasing amount of dropwort powder. However, the specific volume decreased with increasing dropwort powder. For the color values, as more dropwort powder was added, the L-value decreased. The castella with 9% dropwort powder had a higher hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. A sensory panel perceived that the external and internal color of the castella become darker with the dropwort powder substitution and the grain size decreased with increasing amount dropwort powder, while sweet taste showed no significant difference. The order of overall preference was DP 9>DP 6>DP 12>CON>DP 3. Therefore, the substitution of 9% of wheat flour with dropwort powder was recommended in the production of castella.
