This study examined the effects of chestnut powder content (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%) on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of rice muffins. With the increasing chestnut powder content, the total polyphenol content, flavonoid content, antioxidant activity (determined by radical scavenging activity and reducing power), hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and overall acceptability (determined by sensory evaluation) increased, whereas the moisture content, pH, specific volume, and cooking loss decreased. Regarding color, chestnut powder content was negatively correlated with L and b and positively correlated with a. Notably, overall acceptability abruptly decreased to its minimum at 10%. Thus, adding powder at loadings of <7.5% improved the antioxidant activity and acceptability of rice muffins. Our results can be used as preparatory data for developing a rice muffin model.

The contents of capsaicinoids, free sugars and organic acids of 10 Korean varieties of red pepper power were measured and the sensory properties of their water extracts were compared in order to investigate the influence of the composition of taste components on sensory acceptability of Korean red pepper. The composition of taste components in red pepper powder varied widely depending on the varieties; total capsaicinoid content varied from 0.029 to 0.296%, free sugar $8.45{\sim}15.21%$ and organic acid $4.58{\sim}17.54%$. Capsaicinoid contents, especially dihydrocapsaicin content, were highly correlated with the pungent taste of the water extract of red pepper powder (r=0.870), but did not show significant relationship to the overall sensory acceptability. The sensory overall acceptability was highly influenced by the contents of total sugar (r=+0.815), reducing sugar (r=+0.805), glucose (r=+0.814) and fructose (r=+0.787). Multiple regression with total sugar $(X_1)$, total capsaicin $(X_2)$ and total organic acid contents $(X_3)$ increased the correlation coefficient for sensory acceptability(Y) to R=0.9008. From the result, a regression equation of $Y=0.9808X_1-10.7526X_2-0.1664X_3-4.1147$ was obtained.

This study investigates mineral contents and sensory properties of commercial bottled water in Korea. The contents of calcium and magnesium in the samples were determined 3.399-85.470 and 2.619-27.390 mg/L, respectively. The mineral contents of bottled water samples met the code of regulations for drinking water, for the hardness was determined 19.2-326 mg/L and the pH was measured as 6.31-7.74. As the sensory characteristics of bottled water samples were evaluated by 5-point hedonic scale, the samples which were below 100 mg/L of hardness had high acceptability. The acceptability was positively correlated with freshness (r=0.706) and sweetness (r=0.253), having a negative correlation with metallic taste (r=-0.402) and astringency (r=-0.234) (p<0.05). On the other hand, calcium content had a negative correlation with acceptability and freshness (p<0.05). The pH of the bottled water represented a negative correlation with acceptability and freshness, so the good acceptability and freshness were shown in the low pH, positively correlated with the intensity of metallic taste (p<0.05).

Soy sprouts with Pungsannamulkong stored in covered polypropylene container with water(PCSS) or polypropylene film bag without water(PBSS) at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Changes in weight, instrumental textural hardness, color values and sensory attributes of soy sprouts were evaluated after 2, 4 and 7 day storage. Storage caused slight weight losses in PBSS, but not in PCSS. In the courses of storage the hardness of the heads decreased, while the stems maintained their hardness. The effect of storage periods on surface color changes were also determined. The stems of soy sprouts in PCSS had higher L values when stored for over 2 days. The b values of the stems in both PCSS and PBSS increased after over 2 day storage. The higher b values in the stems were found when kept in PBSS for 2 or 4 days, indicating more yellowish color. On the other hand, the heads and stems of soy sprouts had light green color. The soy sprouts in PCSS became greener with storage, but there was only small increase in greenness. Sensory panels perceived that the overall acceptability of soy sprouts decreased with storage. The overall acceptability of soy sprouts when kept in PCSS for 7 days were not as good as that of soy sprouts in PCSS for 4 days, although soy sprouts in PCSS had a significantly higher overall acceptability than those in PBSS when stored over 4 days(p<0.05). Therefore, PCSS could be possible to keep soy sprouts with good overall acceptability when stored 4 days at $4^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to investigate the acceptance of vegetable menus by high school students and the factors that influence the acceptability. Second-grade high school students (n=389) in Seoul were asked to assess their acceptability of vegetable menus and plate waste, and answered survey questions concerning their demographic characteristics, health-related attitudes, dietary attitudes, dietary habits, and nutritional knowledge. Overall, the menus containing items that were sweet or familiar to the subjects were preferred. Acceptability was significantly associated with the amount of consumption. The acceptability was correlated with dietary habits, dietary attitudes, nutritional knowledge, and several health-related variables. The vegetable-liking groups showed significantly higher scores concerning dietary habits, dietary attitudes, and nutritional knowledge, but did not exhibit a specific pattern of association with the health-related variables. This result implies that intervention strategies focusing on changes in cognitive and/or hedonic factors, such as nutritional education or flavor-flavor learning, would be beneficial for increasing students' acceptance of vegetable menus.

This study was attempted to investigate the mediating effect of the tolerance of dating violence in the influence of female college students' perception of dating violence on their sexual self-assertion. The subjects of this study were 161 female students enrolled in universities in the Chungbuk region. As research instrument, Jeong(2013)'s perception of dating violence, Jeong(2016)'s sexual self-assertiveness, and Nam(2003)'s dating violence acceptability were used. For data analysis, frequency, percentage, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, and Sobel test were performed using SPSS WIN 21.0 program. As a result of the study, first, there was a significant positive correlation between perception of dating violence and violence tolerance(r=.43, p<.001), and a significant negative correlation between violence tolerance and sexual assertiveness(r=-.20, p<.05). Second, the perception of dating violence had a significant positive effect on sexual assertiveness(𝛽=.43, p<.001), and the explanatory power was 19%(F=36.10, p<.001). Third, it was found that the decrease in the effect of female college students' perception of dating violence on sexual assertiveness was significant(Z=2.05, p<.05), violence acceptability showed a mediating effect on the effect of dating violence perception on sexual assertiveness. Based on this study, it is suggested to develop a dating violence prevention program that can lower female college students' acceptability for violence, raise perception of violence, and strengthen sexual assertiveness.

Currently, roadway operation agencies provide interior zones of tunnels with emergency information including crash, fire, and vehicles' stop, through state-of-the-art technologies such as variable message signs and radio-based broadcast systems. However, when coping with an emergency in tunnel interior zones, such information could be too late for drivers to access. A radio-based emergency alert system at the access zones of freeway tunnels, on the other hand,could be a good alternative for solving this problem. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess user acceptability of such an alternative system. To carry out this study, an online survey was conducted on 762 drivers, and the survey results were analyzed using a structural equation modeling to identify factors affecting acceptability of the proposed system. As a result, driver characteristics such as age group, driving frequency, and driving career, utilization of conventional traffic information, and usefulness of conventional traffic information have a positive impact on acceptability. It is expected that the findings of the study will be a basis to effectively address and deploy a new emergency alert system at the access zones of freeway tunnels.

According to statistics, the number of mobile payment users in China shows an increasing trend year by year. However, less than half of people over 60 years old use mobile payment. The purpose of this study is to explore the reasons for the low usage rate of mobile payment platforms among the elderly in China. Through literature research, questionnaires and interviews, the author found that the main obstacle for the elderly in China to use mobile payment platforms is acceptance barrier. Then, the user experience research method and technology acceptance model (TAM) were combined to construct a new research model and five hypotheses affecting acceptance behavior in the model were summarized. Finally, the Analysis of Covariance(ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses and found that satisfaction (SA), perceived usefulness (PU) and job relevance (JR) had significant coefficients of 0.001, 0.000 and 0.004 respectively, all of which were less than 0.05 and therefore had a significant effect on acceptability. The other two elements, perceived ease of use (PE) and self-efficacy (SE), did not have a significant effect on acceptability. Ultimately, a new user experience acceptability model was constructed to provide theoretical support for mobile payment platform developers and designers to develop products from the acceptability perspective, so as to develop more mobile payment methods suitable for elderly users and improve the acceptance of mobile payment by the elderly.
