This study was conducted to elucidate how rice with different milling degrees (DOM: 10, 20, 30, and 40%) affects rice yakju properties by accelerated aging. There were significant differences among the treatments with respect to the properties except for brownness before aging, which showed no correlation with DOM (p for trend>0.05). In contrast, the amino acidity and brownness significantly decreased after aging as DOM increased, lightness (L) in particular was affected in all the treatments regardless of DOM. Almost all treatments showed significant differences except for the pH and the total acid and alcohol content between before and after aging. Moreover, the amino acidity, brownness, redness (a), yellowness (b), and color difference in all the treatments showed significant differences regardless of DOM. We found a significant difference in the color change. The yakju free amino acid analysis showed that almost all amino acids slightly decreased as DOM increased.

This study examined the quality characteristics and antioxidant properties of sword bean tea available in domestic markets. Each product of sword bean tea had distinct appearance characteristics. The color, pH, brownness, and turbidity of the tea varied significantly across different products, with tea bags showing higher levels of brownness and turbidity. The total polyphenol content of hot water extraction ranged from 165.13 to 517.69 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g sample for pod tea, 999.36 to 2,054.74 mg GAE/100 g sample for tea bag tea, and 74.62 to 275.00 mg GAE/100 g sample for grain tea, respectively. Similarly, the total flavonoid content, measured in terms of catechin equivalents (CE), ranged from 39.51 to 65.00 mg CE/100 g sample for pod tea, 86.57 to 253.63 mg CE/100 g sample for tea bag tea, and 32.94 to 38.63 mg CE/100 g sample for grain tea, for hot water extraction. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of pod tea were 95.68 to 276.19 mg TE/100 g sample and 270.87 to 804.21 mg trolox equivalents/100 g sample, respectively, for hot water extraction. These results suggest the need to establish quality standards to ensure consistent quality of sword bean tea.

This study was performed for obtaining optimal extraction conditions to produce peach liqueur containing chitosan. Alcohol content of unsliced fruits was the largest recording 30% after extracting for 8 weeks and those of fruits sliced into four pieces were high recording around 28% after extracting for $6{\sim}8$ weeks. Sugar content was $11{\sim}13^{\circ}Brix$, total acidity was around 0.2% and pH was about 4.8. While soluble solids content was around 2.8% in unsliced fruits with a little change of the content, those of fruits sliced into four pieces were ranged from 2.8% to 3.1% and showing a tendency that longer extraction time increased the content. Brownness of unsliced fruits and fruits sliced into four pieces were $0.33{\sim}0.54$ and $0.56{\sim}0.73$ respectively. Total phenol content showed a similar tendency with brownness and the total phenol content of sliced fruits was higher than that of unsliced fruits by only around 0.2 mg%. When peach liqueur was made by extracting unsliced fruits massively by following conditions set above, methanol content grew with longer extraction time but the difference was not significant and the content was detected to be extremely small recording about 50 ppb. Among organic acids, oxalic, malic and citric acids were found, and fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected as free sugars. In conclusion, extracting unsliced fruits for 8 weeks as extraction conditions showed an excellent quality in overall for peach liqueur containing chitosan.

The objective of this study was to compare the color and microstructure of powder, redness, brownness, and antioxidative activity in extruded ginseng, white ginseng and red ginseng extracts. The colors of extruded dry ginseng powder (moisture content 30%, barrel temperature $110^{\circ}C$, and screw speed 200 rpm) were similar to those of red ginseng. Intact cell wall structure was examined in dried root ginseng at $70^{\circ}C$ (A), white ginseng with skin (D), white ginseng without skin (E), and red ginseng (F) under a scanning electron microscope. The cell wall was not detected in samples B and C (dry ginsengs extruded with 25% and 30% moisture contents, respectively). Intact starch granules were detected in samples A, D, and E under a scanning electron microscope. Melted starch granules were detected in samples B, C, and F. Colors (L, a, b) of 50% EtOH extracts were similar in samples C and F. Browniness and redness of extracts were high in extruded dry ginseng and red ginseng extracts. Extruded dry ginseng (B) showed higher electron donation ability and phenolic content than the other samples.

This study identified the sensory properties of samples of pizza dough at three pizza companies and three masonry oven pizzerias from Seoul, Korea and compared consumer acceptability among panels of university students. Six pizza dough samples were prepared (pan pizzas from Pizza Hut, Mr.pizza, and Dominos pizza, masonry oven baked pizzas from Appleteen, Mr.Lee's, and Pizza factory). Consumer tests were employed involving 97 Korean consumers. Consumers evaluated overall liking (OL), liking of appearance (APPL), odor (ODL), flavor (FLL), and texture (TXTL), willing to try (WT), and willing to recommend (WR) for the samples using a nine-point hedonic scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that HutP, MrP, and DomP samples had significantly (p<0.05) high scores for roughness, porosity, crust color, grain size, brownness, dairy food aroma, savory taste, and yeast aroma, which had the highest OL, ODL, and FLL scores. LeeP, ATeenP, and PFacP samples had high elasticity, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness. Consumers favored the appearance characteristics and color, dairy product flavor, and savory flavor of the pan pizza and preferred cohesiveness, toughness, and stickiness of masonry oven baked pizza.

The physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of commonly consumed espresso and regular coffees, at coffee shops in downtown Seoul, were investigated. Moreover, the characteristics between chain type coffee shops and owner shops were compared using t-tests. The serving temperature and volume of espresso were lower than those for regular coffees. Whereas, the pH and total acidity of espresso were higher than those for regular coffees. Coffees from chain shops, in particular, had a significantly higher pH and lower total acidity than those from owner shops. The L, a and b values of the regular coffees were higher than those of the espresso coffees. With the exception of the a value of regular coffees, all the color values of the coffees from owner shops were higher than those from the chain shops. The intensity of the brownness, soluble solid contents and total phenolic contents of the espresso coffees were about 7∼8, 8∼9 and 4 times higher, respectively, than those of regular coffees. In addition, the free radical scavenging capacities and antioxidant activities of the espresso coffees, using a chemiluminescence assay, were higher than those of regular coffees. Espresso coffees from chain shops, especially, had higher activities of free radical scavenging than those from owner shops. In conclusion, the characteristics of coffees from chain shops were significantly different from those from owner coffee shops.

The quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Tteokbokkidduk alone or supplemented with 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% wheat bran powder were assessed, to increase use of the wheat bran by-product of wheat milling. The moisture content, pH, and starch elution of Tteokbokkidduk increased with increasing wheat bran powder, while the water absorption rate did not. The L color value decreased and the a and b values increased with increasing wheat bran powder. Scanning electron microscopy of Tteokbokkidduk prepared with 0% and 3% wheat bran powder revealed uniform pore size distribution. In terms of texture profile analysis, hardness and chewiness increased, while cohesiveness decreased with increased content of wheat bran powder. Acceptance was highest for samples with 6% wheat bran powder. Quantitative description analysis (QDA) revealed increased brownness, roughness, nutty, bitterness, astringency, savory character, and hardness, and decreased adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness with increased wheat bran powder. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed highest overall acceptance of samples prepared with 6% wheat bran powder, reflecting the relatively low values of detrimental sensory characteristics. Antioxidant activities of Tteokbokkidduk increased as wheat bran powder content increased. The addition of 6% wheat bran powder resulted in excellent Tteokbokki in terms of acceptance, quality, and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to develop the descriptive analysis procedures for evaluating the sensory characteristics of yeast leavened breads. Eleven highly trained panelists identified the following 23 sensory attributes in the bread and defined the terminology for each attribute; yellowness of crumb, roughness of surface, uniformity of cell, density of cell, brownness of crust for appearance characteristics, yeast fermented, chemical, roasted flour, buttery, milky, boiled flour, sweet, and salty for flavor characteristics, springiness, ease to tear, moistness on surface, adhesiveness to lip, hardness, stickiness, cohesiveness of mass, moisture absorption, chewiness, and loose particles for textural characteristics. Reference samples for the flavor attributes were determined. There were significant differences in all of the 23 sensory attributes of commercial bread samples. The principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to summarize the sensory data. The first two principal components explained 89% of the variation of the original variables indicating reliability of procedure developed in this study.

In this study, the effect of nuruk prepared from rice with different degrees of milling on the physicochemical and sensory qualities of yakju after accelerated aging was investigated. The results indicated significant differences, except for Fe and Mn contents, in the qualities of aged yakju prepared using nuruk from rice with different degrees of milling. However, the degree of milling of rice did not influence the quality of yakju, except for amino acidity and pH, which significantly decreased as the degrees of milling increased. In addition, as compared to before aging, brownness ($A_{430}$) and color difference significantly increased after aging in all the treatments. The intensity of off flavor in yakju after aging made from 0% milled rice nuruk was the lowest.
