The aim of this study was to develop a seasoning paste fermented by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis using three edible insects: Tenebrio molitor larvae, Gryllus bimaculatus, and Bombyx mori pupa. No significant changes in pH and titratable acidity were observed between the insect pastes and soybean control during a 5-week fermentation process. The amino nitrogen was 0.35-0.50% (w/w) in the early stage of the fermentation and increased to 0.72-0.78%. The total nitrogen was 2.36-3.62% (w/w) in the early stage and was preserved during the fermentation period. Free amino acids of the insect pastes were similar to those in soybean paste. In general, the fermented insect pastes showed a lower flavor and color than soybean paste but B. mori pupa-fermented paste did not show any significant difference in preference from soybean. Glutamate, aspartate, lysine, phenylalanine, arginine, and serine were found to affect taste preference. It was possible to ferment edible insect protein to produce a fermented seasoning paste like Korean doenjang.

This study was designed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of noodles containing Allium senescens L. powder (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%). With an increase in the consumption of Allium senescens L., there was a decrease in pH (p<0.001), water absorption ratio, volume expansion ratio, and turbidity (p<0.05). The colorvalue showed that the addition of Allium senescens L. decreased the L and b values. On the other hand, a value was increased (p<0.001). The mechanical texture of the noodles containing Allium senescens L. was decreased by the addition of Allium senescens L. considering its hardness and chewiness; however, it increased the adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, the noodles with 4% Allium senescens L. powder showed the best results (p<0.001). The total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging, and reducing power were increased upon addition of Allium senescens L. powder (p<0.001).

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of tofu prepared with addition of cowpea meal (CPM). Any significant difference of L-value between control CPM-O and treatment CPM-I, CPM-II and CPM-III could not be seen as addition ratio of CPM increases (p < 0.05). The b-value of CPM-III (75%) has shown the least value of 14.26, and it has decreased as addition ratio of CPM increases. The result of texture profile did not show any significant difference between control CPM-O and CPM-Iexcept in the case of cohesiveness. The pH range of treatments was 6.36~6.52, which showed no significant difference from controls. The values of turbidity were 1.46~1.81, which had increasing trend as addition ratio of CPM increases. The total bacterial count of CPM-III was $4.40{\times}10^2CFU/g$, which showed significant difference from the control. No Esterichia coli was detected in the control and the treatments. The result of sensory analysis of the treatment CPM-I did not show any significant difference from the control, which implied the treatment CPM-Iwas found to be suitable at the tofu making using byproducts of cowpea-jelly making. Isoflavone glycoside (IG) was contained more on the order of genistin, daidzin, and glycitin, and the content decreased significantly as addition ratio of CPM increases. The content of isoflavone-aglycone (IA) was less than IG, but showed similar behavior of addition ratio of CPM.

This study investigated the effects on the quality characteristics of the korean steamed rice cake, Seolgiddok of the addition of aloe powder at 0%, 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5% and 6.0% and 4-days storage. The moisture content of the control 0% aloe, steamed rice cake was 47.76%, and steadily decreased with increasing powder addition to the lowest of 37.38% for the cake with 6.0% added. The moisture content was decreased with extending storage time in both the control and powder-added groups. The cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of the cake tended to decrease with increasing powder content, while the hardness increased with both increasing powder content and extending storage time. The Hunter color value L in the chromaticity of the cake was significantly decreased with increasing powder addition. The a value of the control, 0% aloe steamed cake was -0.86, but became positive with red color with increasing powder content, The b value was significantly increased with increasing powder content. The powder addition inhibited the increase in bacteria number. The sensory characteristics of the cake. such as color, aloe flavor and taste, and bitterness were increased with increasing powder content, while the moist and soft feeling of the cake were more highly evaluated at lower powder content. The overall taste was judged to be best for the sample with 3% added powder. Accordingly, it was expected that a highly functional and healthy product with improved quality might be developed by the addition of aloe powder to the Korean steamed cake, Seolgiddok.

The effects of the addition of germinated whole soy flour on dough and noodle characteristics were investigated in this study. The soybeans were germinated for 12 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ and ground to 60 mesh. With increasing soybean flour addition up to $16\%$, the RVA viscograph and mixograph properties were significantly decreased both with and without the addition of $3\%$ salt(p<0.05). The width and length extensibility were increased with increasing whole soy flour addition up to $8\%$ after which they decreased. The addition of the whole soy flour turned the color of the wet and cooked noodle a little darkish and greenish yellow. The hardness and gumminess of wet noodle increased with increasing whole soy flour amount, while those of cooked noodle gradually decreased. Sensory evaluation showed that addition of tile whole soy flour significantly increased the savory flavor and yellowish color of cooked noodle.

higher. The Hunter color test showed lower L values with higher amounts of added JP to the Jeung-Pyun. In the sensory test. the 7 % added group had the strongest color according to the texture; the highest cohesiveness was shown in the 5 % added group, and the highest springiness was shown by the 3% added group, but none of these showed any significant differences. As for flavor, the more JP added the higher the stale grain flavor and bitterness. In the result of the overall acceptability test, the stale grain flavor of the 5% added group showed the highest values for the favorite texture and flavor. From the results of this experiment, when making stale grain flavored Jeung-Pyun, the 3 and 5% added groups were the optimum concentrations for the observed improvements in the quality. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of improving the quality characteristics of Jeung-Pyun, by the addition of Paecilomyces japonica powder (JP). Regarding the volume of the Jeung-Pyun fermentation, with respect to the different amounts of JP added, the groups containing JP showed increased volumes, and as for the pH. the group containing 5% showed the lowest value. Regarding the moisture content, the groups containing JP showed lower moisture contents than the control group. Regarding the amino acid content, the control group showed a higher amino acid content than those of the JP containing groups, and contained an even amount of essential amino acids. and Leucine, Phenylalanine and Arginine were especially.

This study was investigated the quality characteristics of muffins which were prepared with whole waxy sorghum flours. Muffins were made with different sorghum flour contents of 10, 30, 50 and 100% substitution for wheat flour. The crude protein and fat contents of muffins were not different among samples, but the crude ash content was determined to increase with increasing content of sorghum flour. The specific gravity of the sorghum muffin batter as well as the weight and uniformity index of the sorghum muffins, were not significantly different from those of the control. The volume of muffins was found to decrease significantly when 100% sorghum flour was substituted for wheat flour. In terms of color, the L and b values of muffins were decreased with increasing contents of sorghum flour, and the a value was increased. The sensory test revealed that the hardness and adhesiveness of muffins was increased with the addition of sorghum flour, but springiness and chewiness decreased. According to the results of a sensory evaluation test, the flavor, taste and texture of muffins were reduced with the addition of 50 and 100% sorghum flour. The appearance and overall acceptability of sorghum muffins were not found to be different significantly from those of the control, up to 30% level substitution with sorghum flour.

In this study, kimchi containing Styela clava (Korean name: miduduk) was prepared, and the quality of the prepared kimchi was evaluated during 4 weeks of fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. S. clava was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 1, 2, and 3%(w/w). The quality characteristics of the kimchi were determined by measuring pH, titratable acidity, salinity, color, and microbial amounts. All kimchi evidenced a rapid decrease in pH until 2 weeks, and then a gradual decline thereafter. Titratable acidity increased gradually until 2 weeks, then sharply increased thereafter. Salinity increased until 3 weeks. We noted only slight overall color differences between the kimchi samples. Total microbial and lactic acid bacterial counts achieved maximum levels at 3 weeks, and the kimchi to which 1 and 2% S. clava was added evidenced values higher than that of the controls. In our sensory evaluations, the kimchi to which 2% S. clava was added was scored highest in terms of color, flavor, and overall acceptance.
