Quality analysis and grading of sliced-dried 'cheongdobansi' persimmons marketed in Korea were investigated by analyzing the correlation coefficients between the quality properties and overall preference of the samples. There were appreciable differences in weight, length, width, thickness, soluble solid, and Hunter' color values of sliced-dried persimmons manufactured by seven different companies. The content of soluble solid was ranged from 43.44 to $47.92^{\circ}Brix$. Hunter values were 41.17-54.09, 5.62-12.36, and 10.51-20.59 for L(lightness), a(redness), and b(yellowness), respectively. In sensory test, no astringency, sourness, and musty were found in all the test samples. Sensory color, hardness and sweetness were different for each manufacturing company, while the overall acceptability was not significantly different among the samples. Qualities of samples graded according to sensory color and hardness revealed differences. The results showed that quality properties of sliced-dried 'cheongdobansi' persimmons were not uniform, however sensory color and hardness could be used as an index for quality grading.

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.

Effects of RS4 type resistant corn starch on the quality characteristics of cookies were investigated by physicochemical, instrumental and sensory evaluation. The resistant starch was made by cross-linking of corn starch as following; corn starch slurry was annealed at pH 2.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by the cross-linking reaction. The cross-linking reaction was performed at $50^{\circ}C$ for 12 h in the presence of 1.2%/st.ds NaOH, 10%/st.ds sodium sulfate and 10%/st.ds of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)/sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) mixture. Dietary fiber content of the resistant starch was estimated to be 73.8% by the AOAC method. For quality characteristics, dough pH decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content and spread factor decreased a little at 20% of the resistant starch. The moisture content and L value of cookies increased with the increase of the resistant starch content. However, the hardness and fracturability decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences were observed between the two cookies with or without the resistant starch. The results of this study suggest that the RS4 type resistant corn starch can be a good ingredient to increase dietary fiber content in cookies without changes of their qualities.

The study was done in order to investigate the effects the red onion powder on the quality characteristics of the Korean steamed rice cake, Seolgiddok, with 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% of the red onion powder weight in control. The moisture content of the control with 0% red onion was 43.74% and it steadily decreased with the increase in powder (12%) resulting to the lowest at 37.02% for the cake. The springiness, adhesiveness and chewiness of the cake decreased according to the increase in powder content, while the hardness and cohesiveness increased together with the increase in powder content. The Hunter color value L in the chromaticity of the cake significantly decreased with the increase in powder content. The a value of the control was 2.18 and was redder with the increase in powder content, while the b value significantly increased together with the increase in powder content. The sensory characteristics of the cake such as color, flavor, taste and softness and chewiness increased along with increase in powder content. The overall taste was judged to be the best for the sample with the 9% added powder.

This study was carried out to investigate the utilization of pruned branch of a peach tree as natural dyeing material. The dyestuff was extracted from pruned branch of a peach tree. we examined the dyeing ability on silk and cotten fabrics. The surface color of silk fabrics differed depending on mordants. E values in treatments of mordants ranged from 11.63 to 30.86 as compared to non-treatment. Dyeing properties of cotten fabrics were improved with a treatment of sulfate of iron as compared with of non-treatment. The values a increased when the slaked lime and sodium hydroxide were used as mordants, while the values b increased when copper sulfate, alum and apple vinegar were used. We investigated the surface colors of silk and cotten fabrics after washing three times. In general, the surface colors of silk and cotten fabrics between the treatments of all mordants and non-treatment were diminished by the washing. We also investigated the surface colors of silk and cotten fabrics when those were washed and treated by the light after soaking those into various pH solutions. The surface colors of silk and cotten fabrics were considerably preserved by the washing, the light and pH concentration. In conclusion, our results suggest that the dyestuffs from pruning branch of a peach tree would be useful as a natural dyeing material using the optimized conditions for silk and cotten dyeing.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles made of wheat flour supplemented with different concentrations of skate powder. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, gelatinization temperature and viscosity were measured, after which sensory evaluation was performed with prepared noodles. Water binding capacity, solubility and swelling power of the composite skate powder and wheat flours were higher than those of pure wheat flour. Gelatinization temperature of the composite skate powder and wheat flours increased, while initial, interim, and maximum-viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, decreased, with increasing skate powder content. In relation to color values, increasing skate flour content led to decrease in L and b values and increase in a value. For the textural characteristics, the addition of skate powder increased hardness, springiness, chewiness and adhesiveness. Overall, noodles made with 3% skate powder were preferred compared to other samples.
