Effects of transglutaminase (TG) on physicochemical properties of dough prepared with 20% resistant starch (RS)-added wheat flour were investigated. RS levels of wheat flours added with native wheat starch (NS), Hi-maize (RS2), retrograded (RS3), and cross-linked (RS4) wheat starches were 2.97, 11.88, 5.79, and 9.09%, respectively. Peak viscosity of NS-added flour was higher, whereas setback was lower, than those added with other resistant starches. TG had no effect on pasting behaviors of RS-added flours. Water absorption ranged from 66.5 to 79.0%, and development time increased with RS addition. TG increased tensile strength of dough after fermentation and bread volume, due to well-developed gluten network resulting from cross-linking facilitated by TG Addition of TG decreased hardness of baguettes, with RS2-added baguette showing lowest value. These results indicate addition of TG enhanced eating quality of RS-added breads.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of baguettes containing buckwheat flour. Physical properties of the bread flour mixed with buckwheat flour were tested by rapid visco analyzer(RVA), farinogram, and alveogram. Water activity of baguettes were measured and their properties were tested by rheometer. As the amount of buckwheat flour increased the peak viscosity and the holding strength were decreased, but the set back value was increased. Therefore, buckwheat flour prevented the gelatinization process. As the amount of buckwheat flour increased, the consistency and water absorption were increased, but development and stability were lower than the control. The bread flour containing high amount of buckwheat flour resulted in less breakdown and low farinogram quality number. As the amount of buckwheat flour was increased, Pmax, L, G, and W values were decreased on alveogram. The water activity and the springness of all samples were decreased during the storage, but the hardness was increased, especially after two days of storage. The sensory properties of baguette containing 10% buckwheat flour had the best scores.

It is widely known that knowledge management plays a facilitating role that contributes to upgrading organizational performance. Knowledge management systems (KMS), especially, support the knowledge management process including the sharing, creating, and using of knowledge within a company, and maximize the value of knowledge resources within an organization. Despite this widely held belief, there are few studies that describe how companies actually develop, share, and practice their knowledge. Companies in the domestic small franchise sector, which are in the early stages in terms of knowledge management, need to improve their KMS to manage their franchisees effectively. From this perspective, this study uses a qualitative approach to explore the actual process of knowledge management implementation. This article presents a case study of PB (Paris Baguette) company, which is the first to build a KMS in the franchise industry. The study was able to confirm the following facts through the analysis of target companies. First, the chief executive's support is a critical success factor and this support can increase the participation of organization members. Second, it is important to build a process and culture that actively creates and leverages information in knowledge management activities. The organizational learning culture should be one where the creation, learning, and sharing of new knowledge is developed continuously. Third, a horizontal network organization is needed in order to make relationships within the organization more close-knit. Fourth, in order to connect the diverse processes such as knowledge acquisition, storage, and utilization of knowledge management activities, information technology (IT) capabilities are essential. Indeed, IT can be a powerful tool for improving the quality of work and maximizing the spread and use of knowledge. However, during the construction of an intranet based KMS, research is required to ensure that the most efficient system is implemented. Finally, proper evaluation and compensation are important success factors. In order to develop knowledge workers, an appropriate program of promotion and compensation should be established. Also, building members' confidence in the benefits of knowledge management should be an ongoing activity. The company developed its original KMS to achieve a flexible and proactive organization, and a new KMS to improve organizational and personal capabilities. The PB case shows that there are differences between participants perceptions and actual performance in managing knowledge; that knowledge management is not a matter of formality but a paradigm that assures the sharing of knowledge; and that IT boosts communication skills, thus creating a mutual relationship to enhance the flow of knowledge and information between people. Knowledge management for building organizational capabilities can be successful when considering its focus and ways to increase its acceptance. This study suggests guidelines for major factors that corporate executives of domestic franchises should consider to improve knowledge management and the higher operating activities that can be used.

This survey was conducted to assess dining-out behaviors and menu preferences of university students in the Seoul area. The results were as follows: 1. 65.2% ate out rarely for breakfast and 73.1% ate out frequently for lunch, whereas 20.9% occasionally ate out for lunch. The frequency of dining out for breakfast was influenced by age, gender, and major but the frequency of dining out for lunch was significantly correlated with age(P < 0.01). 79.2% of females dined out frequently, but 62.3% of males reported doing so(P < 0.001). 65.2% ate out frequently for dinner and 31.6% did so occasionally. 34.2% dined out frequently for snacks, and 53.5% did so occasionally. 2. Factors to consider in dining out were as follows: taste > preference > price > persuasion > nutrition. The motivations for dining out were as follows: convenience > favorite food > difficult to prepare lunch box > difficult to carry lunch box > habit. This factor was correlated significantly with age(P < 0.05) and residence type(P < 0.001). Problems with dining out were listed as follows: unbalanced nutrition > price > sanitation > variety of menu > taste. This factor was correlated significantly with age(P < 0.05), alcoholic beverage use(P < 0.01) and smoking(P < 0.01). 3. Foods selected for meals when dining out were as follows: Korean style > Western > Japanese > noodles > Chinese. The expense(in won) of dining out for lunch was as follows: 3,000${\sim}$5,000 > 2,000${\sim}$3,000 > over 5,000 > under 2000. Problems to be corrected in Korean-style food were as follows: variety of menu > price > using personal dish. 4. Korean foods preferred in each cooking style when dining out were as follows: beef rib > kimchi-jjigae > bulgogi > doenjang-jjigae > bibimbab. Chinese foods selected were as follows: tangsuyuk > jajang myeon > jjambbong > gganpunggi > bokeumbab. Preferred Western foods were as follows: spaghetti > steak > pork cutlet > pizza > ribs > chicken. Preferred Japanese foods in meals when dining out were as follows: sushi > hoe > udong > pork cutlet > soba. Preferred noodle foods selected when dining out were as follows: ddukboki > ramyeon > mandu > guksu > sundae > gimbab >. Preferred baked foods for dining out were as follows: cake > pizza > loaf bread > baguette > sandwich > hamburger > doughnut > cream bread.
