A surimi like material was made from fresh pig hearts and used to manufacture emulsion-type sausages for the improvement of quality characteristics. The heart muscles were diced and frozen at -60$^{\circ}C$ until processed. Then, the frozen diced heart muscles were thawed, chopped, filtered, and washed to extract myofibrillar proteins. The residue was centrifuged to take a surimi-like material. Emulsion-type sausages were made different levels of surimi-like material(5∼15%) and compared to the control. Cooking loss(CL, %) and water-holding capacity (WHC, %) were measured on raw meat batter, whereas shear force, hardness, color and panel test were measured after cooking. The addition of the surimi-like material up to 15% level in the sausage formulation reduced CL and increased WHC, as compared to the control. Shear force and hardness values of the control had the highest value, however sausages containing 15% surimi-like material had the lowest value(p<0.05). Increased surimi-like material became darker in color. Although no differences in panel scores of flavor and off-flavor were observed, panellists prefer to select sausages having 15% surimi-like material(p<0.05). These results indicated that a surimi-like material, which was a myofibrillar protein extracted from pig hearts, could be used to manufacture emulsion-type sausage up to 15% to improve cooking yield and textural characteristics without color and flavor defects.

In order to determine the effects of strawberry powder on the baking quality of cakes, yellow layer cakes were prepared with four freeze-dried strawberry powders substitutes, at levels of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. Then, the physical properties, baking properties and sensory characteristics of the finished cakes were assessed. The cakes were stored for 6 days at $22^{\circ}C$ and the change in hardness during storage was evaluated. The Viscosity of the doughs, as well as the specific gravity, increased as the amount of strawberry powder in the flour increased. The volume indices of the strawberry powder cakes were less than that of control, but the other indices did not differ from those of the controls. The crust color of the strawberry cakes evidenced a reduction in L. a and b values. The crumb color also evidenced a reduction in the L and b values, but the a values increased. Sensory characteristics were evaluated by 60 students from the Dept. of Food and Biotechnology. Crust color, crumb color, moistness, softness, taste and overall acceptance were measured via a 5-scale acceptance test. The crust color of cakes containing more than 3% strawberry powders and the crumb color of all strawberry cakes evidenced lower scores than the controls. Cakes containing 5% strawberry powders were least acceptable in terms of overall characteristics. Although cakes prepared with flour containing up to 4% strawberry powder were less acceptable than the controls, general sensory scores ranged in an average${\sim}$like range. The incorporation of strawberry power into cakes was shown to increase the overall hardness.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality change of pork patties containing silkworm powder and vegetable worm (Paecilomycis japonica) stored for 9 days at $5^{\circ}C$. pH values were higher in treatment groups than that in controls by storage day 6. L (lightness) and a (redness) value were decreased with increasing addition of silkworm powder and vegetable worm powder in pork patties (p<0.05). However, b value (yellowness) was increased with increasing addition amounts of the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder (p<0.05). Water holding capacity (WHC) of pork patties was not affected by the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder, while pork patties containing 0.4% silkworm powder (T2) showed low cooking loss (p<0.05). Pork patties containing either silkworm powder and vegetable worm alone or a combination of them showed lower lipid oxidation value than that of control (p<0.05). Sensory preference of pork patties was decreased with increased of storage days. The overall acceptance was higher in treatment groups than at control groups at the initial day (p<0.05), yet no significant difference was found during storage. From these results, 0.4% silkworm powder decreased not only cooking loss but also lipid oxidation of pork patties. Also, no adverse effect was found in water holding capacity (WHC) and sensory preference of pork patties. Therefore, the silkworm powder and the vegetable worm powder could be useful to pork meat product industry as additives.

The physicochemical characteristics of pine nuts gruel were investigated to find the effects of processing condition during the processing. Three-dimensional response surface methodology was applied to investigate effects of ratio of water volume and pine nuts weight to rice weight and heating time on dependent variables of the physicochemical characteristics. The dependent variables in physicochemical characteristics were viscosity (cP), spreadability (cm), pH, soluble solid content (%), color, total sugar (%) and amylose content (%). The F-value of ratio of water volume and pine nuts weight to rice weight and heating time to viscosity were 8.91, 4.54 and 5.02 respectively and they are significantly different at 5% level. The F-value to spreadability were 5.44, 7.88 and 8.04 respectively and they are significantly different at 5% level. These results suggest that water volume, pine nuts weight and heating time greatly affect the viscosity and spreadability of pine nuts gruel. The processing condition also affect the soluble solid content. The changes of the processing condition did not affect the pH of pine nuts gruel. We found that the L, a, b value were affected more by ratio of water volume and pine nuts weight to rice weight than by heating time. The water volume affected more the total sugar and amylose content of pine nuts gruel than pine nuts weight and heating time.

The effect of roasting of Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) on the physicochemical properties and the sensory quality of the extract was investigated in order to improve the quality of Omija beverage. The response surface methodology was introduced to optimize the roasting condition of Omija based on the sensory quality of the extract. The titratable acidity, the soluble solid content and the reducing sugar content of the extract increased with a mild roasting, but decreased with an excessive roasting. Prolonged roasting at high temperature decomposed red pigment making the color of the extract lighter, less red and less yellow. A mild roasting of Omija improved the sensory quality of the extract, and the highest sensory quality of the extract was provided with the roasting at $180^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, indicating the optimum roasting condition of Omija. The extract of the roasted Omija was superior in sensory properties to that of the unroasted one.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality variations of cake and cake batter when either butter or soybean oil was added in plain sponge cake batter. Soybean oil or butter was added to the batter at ratios of 20, 40, and 60% at 20, 35, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. The physico-chemical properties of cake batter and cake were measured to evaluate the effects of ratio and temperature of butter and soybean oil. At higher ratios of butter or soybean oil and lower temperatures, the specific gravity of the cake batter increased while the interrelations among weight, volume, and specific loaf volume decreased. L- and b- values were the same, but a-value increased remarkably with higher ratios of butter. The effect of adding butter or soybean oil on hardness was shown to be lowest at 40% and $80^{\circ}C$. Baking loss in the baking process with soybean oil decreased with increasing oil quantity and temperature. Moisture content did not change with temperature, but did decline with increasing amounts of butter or soybean oil. These results show that the optimum condition for sponge cake would be 40% soybean oil at $80^{\circ}C$.

The effects of different dehydration conditions for the removal of ginkgo nut inner coat on peeled ginkgo nuts were examined using physical and sensory methods. Dehydration of ginkgo nuts at $90^{\circ}C$ for 120 min resulted in greater hardness, lightness (L), redness (a), yellowness (b), and firmness. Higher roasted flavor and larger holes were observed with dehydration at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and greater cooked ginkgo flavor and green color with dehydration at $120^{\circ}C$ for 50 min. Based on these findings, dehydration at $120^{\circ}C$ for 50 min was determined as the adequate hot air dehydration condition for the removal of ginkgo nut inner coat. Ginkgo nuts stored at $25^{\circ}C$ maintained overall desirability up to 4 weeks. In ginkgo nuts stored at $4^{\circ}C$, all sensory desirabilities evaluated were reasonably high until 60 days of storage; desirability of appearance decreased moderately at 80 days of storage, and appearance became very undesirable at 180 days. Ginkgo nuts stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ showed little changes until 10 months of storage, but slight decreases in overall desirability, flavor, and texture were noted at 12 months.

The physiochemical properties of wheat flour dough added with onion powder were investigated. The color value of mixed onion powder was added and had low values of lightness and redness, as well as high value of yellowness. Water absorption of the wheat flour dough decreased with the increase in the onion powder. Both development time and stability of the wheat flour dough with onion powder added were less than those of the control. An increase in the added amount of onion powder resulted in an increase of weakness. The maximum viscosity gradually decreased with the increase the amount of onion powder, while the temperature of gelatination did not change. The wheat flour dough extensibility decreased, and the resistance of extension and area under the curve increased in the onion powder. It is of considerable note that the pH of the wheat flour dough decreased in the process of fermentation with an increase in the amount of onion powder.

Physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of 28 black tea samples prepared by oaring the mixing ratio of 1 kind of Korean and 9 kinds of foreign black tea were determined, and their relationship was statistically analysed. Korean black tea was found to be lower in bulk density, caffeine, theobromine, crude protein, theaflavin, thearubigin and soluble solids, and higher in Hunter L- and b- value, neutral detergent fiber, calcium and ratio of oxidized matter as compared with foreign black tea. The palatability for 8 kinds of foreign black tea was generally increased by mixing with Korean black tea. The number of black tea whose palatability were higher than that of Korean black tea was 12, which was mostly mixed black tea. Theaflavin. Hunter a-value, soluble solids of the tea infusion, and potassium of the manufactured tea were the major guiding characteristics as a result of stepwise multiple regression analysis, and about 67% of the total variations in the palatability of black tea could be explained by the regression equation formulated by the preceding 4 characteristics.
