Makgeolli mashes that were brewed using five different commercial nuruks (fermentation starters) were investigated for changes in physicochemistry, microbial diversity, and biogenic amine (BA) production. Mash A brewed with the nuruk (Gaeryang-nuruk) had the highest level of alcohol concentration and the greatest number of yeast cells, whereas mash E had the greatest number of bacterial cells. Only three biogenic amines were detected in the makgeolli mashes: tyramine, putrescine, and cadaverine. Using a PCR-DGGE technique, we observed that mash E had the highest BA production, and had the greatest number of bands on the denaturing gradient gels. We also observed that the numbers of bacterial cells correlated significantly with the putrescine and the total BA content, and that the BA content correlated significantly with the color values (L, a, b). This study shows that the quality of a makgeolli can depend on the type of nuruk. Therefore, we suggest that the quality management of makgeolli should start with the stage of nuruk manufacture.

In this study, a yogurt containing skim milk powder and whole barley flour was fermented with lactic acid bacteria, and its quality and properties were estimated. The yogurts with 1% and 3% barley flour had lower pH values, higher titratable acidity, and higher Brix values than the control. In addition, the viable cell counts were lower and viscosity was higher. The value of L was low, and the values of a and b were high. The yogurt with 3% barley flour had more lactic acid than the control and showed a substantial increase in the amount of acetic acid. ${\beta}$-Glucan content and antioxidant activity increased with the amount of barley flour added. In sensory evaluation, there was a similar preference for the yogurt with 3% barley flour and the control, and as the barley flour content increased, the preference decreased. Moreover, the preference for the yogurt was higher among old people.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different steaming and drying temperature conditions on the physicochemical characteristics of pumpkin powder. All the samples were steamed for 30 or 60 s and then were dried using hot air at 40, 50, 60, and $70^{\circ}C$. The moisture content decreased with an increase in the hot-air drying temperature, while the soluble solid content and yield increased. The color values, L, a, and b of the pumpkin powder decreased with increasing hot-air drying temperature. The pumpkin powder, which was steamed for 60 s had the highest water absorption and water solubility indexes. The carotenoid content of pumpkin powder was mostly destroyed with the increase in the steaming and drying temperatures. The total sugar and reducing sugar contents increased with increasing steaming and drying temperatures. Thus, the steaming and dehydration temperature conditions influenced the physicochemical characteristics of the pumpkin powder.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of beef loin following microwave treatment at $4^{\circ}C$. Two types of microwave treatment were applied. i.e., continued microwave treatment (CW) and holding microwave treatment (HW). The L value increased, while a and b values were not significantly different among the samples as the storage time and microwave dose increased. The initial pH and after 3 days ranged from 5.51-5.74 and 6.32-6.51, respectively (p<0.05). The thiobarbituric acid value of all beef loins increased with increasing storage period and decreased with increasing microwave dose. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of the control was higher than that of the other samples and the VBN content decreased with increasing microwave dose. The total plate count of beef loins decreased with increasing microwave dose. This result indicated that T2 (100 W, HW) is most effective treatment with regard to the safety of beef loins without decreasing the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics.

While manufacturing blended tea, the temperature for pan-firing Rhus verniciflua seed (RVS) is important. The pan-firing duration was fixed to 15 minutes according to a sensory test. We then prepared four types of blended teas with varied ratios of RVS; all the four types showed similar pH, $^{\circ}Bx$, and hunter's color values with no significant difference. According to the sensory test, A-type tea blended with RVS was the most preferred. The antioxidant activity of A-type blended tea was evaluated during storage. The changes in the total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and antioxidant activity by DPPH and ABTS assays were monitored during storage at 4, 25, and $40^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. After 28 days of storage, values for total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were similar to the initial values. Moreover, microbial growth was not observed during that period.

Washed rice was coated by spraying aqueous dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) extracts at 20, 30, 40 $^{\circ}$Brix and dried at room temperature. The coating procedure was conducted 5 mL/min for 10min. Property changes in the dandelion coated rice and un-coated cooked rice were observed during 2 days of storage. Increasing the coating concentration was associated with lower color values (L, a value) and moisture contents. Sensory and texture properties generally decreased in the cooked rice coated with dandelion more than the control (non-coated rice). But, D-20(20 $^{\circ}$Brix of the dandelion concentration) resulted in better textural properties and sensory scores for hardness and overall acceptability in cooked rice. Compared to the control, the washed rice coated with 20 $^{\circ}$Brix for 0 and 2 days showed better quality in sensory activities, a lower gel consistency and better textural activities. It was concluded that the optimum coating ration of rice and added dandelion extract for cooking were 20 $^{\circ}$Brix and $5\%$ respectively, in proportion to the total weight of raw rice.

In order to develop a dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) with natural food applications, the effects of dandelion leaves and roots powder content on the physical, textural and sensory properties of sulggidduk were examined. Dandelion powders of leaves and roots at 0, 1, 2 and $3\%$ were added to the dandelion sulgidduk. In the dandelion roots powder in sulgidduk, the color intensity of L values and the values and moisture content decreased however, the sensory color intensity, dandelion flavor and overall acceptability increased with increasing the dandelion powder content. The sensory overall acceptability indicated the dandelion roots powder content at 3% had the highest overall and flavor scores. As the dandelion leaves content was increased, the moisture contents, lightness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of sulggidduk decreased, while the sensory color intensity, sensory hardness, hardness of texture properties and dandelion flavor increased. The addition at $1\%$ of the dandelion leaves powder content with the dandelion sulggidduk and the addition at $3\%$ of the dandelion roots powder content with the dandelion sulggidduk showed the highest overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of noodle which was made of composite flour blended with the powder of synnemata of Beauveria bassiana. The characteristics of cooked-noodle including color, cooking properties, mechanical texture properties were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed. The L-value of dry and wet-noodle which made of composite flour was similar to that of 100% wheat flour, but a and b-value were higher than those of 100% wheat flour. There were no differences in the weight, volume and water absorption of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour and that of 100% wheat flour, but the turbidity of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour was higher than that of 100% wheat flour. The breaking force of dry-noodle which was made of composite flour was same as that of 100% wheat flour. Hardness and Gumminess of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1∼5% were same as those of 100% wheat flour. Springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1% were similar to those 100% wheat flour. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the cooked-noodles containing 1% and 3% synnemata powder were acceptable as much as those of 100% wheat flour in terms of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptance.

This study was investigated the effect of Prunus mume water extract (PW) and alcohol extract (PA) to the sensory properties, cole. value and shelf-life characteristics (pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count) of cooked rice. Sensory attributes such as taste, color and flavor were significantly higher in cooked rices prepared with 500 ppm of PA than cooked rices prepared with 1000 ppm of PA and PW (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference among samples in texture and overall acceptability. Redness, yellowness and total color difference ($\Delta$E) were higher when PA and PW were added. When cooked rice was putrefied, the value of pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count were about 5.8, 0.1% and 10$\^$8/ cfu/g, respectively. The shelf life of cooked rice was prolonged to 1∼2 day by adding 500 and 1000 ppm of PA as compared with control group. The shelf life of cooked rice was prolonged to 2∼3 day by adding 500 and 1000 ppm of PW as compared with control group.ith control group.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics and the sensory evaluation for madeleine added with peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) juice. The pH and specific volume of madeleine were decreased with increase of peach juice, whereas the moisture and loss rate were increased. In the color of madeleine crust, L and b value were decreased with increase of peach juice, and these results showed significant differences compared to control(p<0.05). The other hand, the colors of madeleine crumb showed less significant changes compared to the control. On texture of madeleine with increase of peach juice, the hardness, chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness were increased, whereas the adhesiveness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation with taste, color, flavor and overall preference, the madeleine with 20%(w/w) peach juice showed the highest value. Consequently, these results should provide the possibile use of peach processing in bakery industry because the addition of peach juice enhanced the quality and sensory characteristics of madeleine.
