This study was carried out to evaluate the phsicochemical, rheological and sensory characteristics of the restructured pork jerky with the addition of sliced cheese(4, 8 and 12%). The TC-1, TC-2 and TC-3 samples had lower moisture contents than the control, Crude protein and fat contents were significantly difference among all treatment (p<0.05). The crude ash and salinity values of TC-1, TC-2 and TC-3 were higher than the control. With the addition of sliced cheese(l2%), the manufacturing yield and water absorption ability were high among all the different treatments, but the control showed significantly higher values than TC-1, TC-2 and TC-3. The pH ranged from 5.62-6.01 in all treatments and the TC-3 sample had the highest pH, The water activity range was 0.70 - 0.74, and the various treatments had slightly higher than the control. The hardness of the TC-3( J 2%) treatment was the lowest among all the treatment. The strength values increased according to increases in sliced cheese, but there were no significant differences(p>0.05). The sensory evaluation for color and flavor received the highest scores in working males 6.96(TC-2) and student males 7.50(TC-2), respectively. The texture scores ranged from 7.07-7.63 and were the highest of all sensory evaluation factors, For overall acceptance the highest scores were received from student males(TC-3), student females(TC-2), working males(TC-2) and working females(TC-l), respectively.

Crystalline Mucor rennin and Mucor rennet from Mucor pusillus var. Lindt was compared with Hansen's calf rennet in its properties as a milk clotting enzyme. The method of Gouda type cheese from domestic milk was established by using of Crystalline Mucor rennin and Mucor rennet. The cheese produced by using of Mucor rennet as a milk clotting enzyme sometimes had bitter taste, it can be reduced with using Crystalline Mucor rennin, instead of Mucor rennet. It was also found out that these cheeses could be colored by the pigment from Cape Jasmine which is wildly ubiquitous in Korea.

An interspecific fusant was made from the protoplasts of two strains of Lactobacillus genus (L. bulgaricus and L.helveticus). And in order to test the applicability of the fusant in manufacturing the cheddar cheese, functional properties of the strain was examined by determining acid-producing activity, three important enzyme activities and volatile free fatty acid-producing activity. The recombinant strain did not exhibit greatly increased acid-porducing activity. Lipase and volatile free fatty acid-porducing abilities of the fusant, however, were remarkably higher than those of the two parental strains. The fusant actually porduced the cheese porduct of the highest ammount of total volatile free fatty acid after 7 days ripening at 10$^{\circ}C$. Finally, the cheddar cheese ripened with this strain was also evaluated to be high preference and flavor intensity by organoleptic panel tests.

We investigated the fermentative production of lactic acid from cheese whey and corn steep liquor as cheap raw materials using Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 to reduce the manufacturing cost of lactic acid. Lactic acid yields were obtained at more than 0.98 g/g from medium containing whey lactose. Lactic aid productivities and yields obtained from whey lactose were slightly higher than those obtained from pure lactose. The final concentration of lactic acid increased with increase, in whey lactose concentration, whereas the lactic acid productivity decreased probably due to substrate inhibition. The fermentation efficiencies were improved by addition of more corn steep liquor to the medium.

The effects of ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin and trypsin treatments on the functional properties (degree of hydrolysis, solubility, and emulsifying capacity) of the soy protein isolate prepared from Jinpum soybean milk(JS milk) which has been developed as low lipoxidase-active soybean variety in Korea and extracted from commercially defatted soybean meal milk(DSM milk). The mixing ratios of JS milk to DSM milk were adjusted to 10:0, 7:3, and 5:5, respectively. The general quality attributes(yield, pH, titrable acidity, moisture contents, crude protein contents, color, textural properties, and sensory characteristics) of soybean cheese which has been prepared with the resulting soy protein hydrolysates were evaluated. Jinpum SPI was better subjected to trypsin than ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin hydrolyses as indicated by better solubility and emulsifying capacity of the hydrolysates. The degree of hydrolysis and solubility of Jinpum SPI were higher than the soybean isolates from DSM milk. The increased ratios of DSM milk in the mixture resulted in the reduced yields and crude protein content along with the lowered titratable acidity while the pH values and moisture contents showed the opposite trends. In color characteristics, the increased amount of DSM milk brought about the significantly lower Hunter color reflectance values of lightness of the cheese products, along with the higher redness and total color difference value(ΔE). However, the enzyme treatment alone was not enough to cause any color differences. The increased ratios of DSM milk also caused the significantly lowered textural parameters such as hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the soybean cheese. Between the enzyme treatments, the ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin treated samples resulted in the higher hardness and cohesiveness values of the products than those from the trypsin-treated ones. In organoleptic properties of the product, the better mouthfeel and overall quality scores were obtained from the trypsin treatments as compared with those from the ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin ones. The mixing ratios of 10:0 and 7:3 were more favored than that of 5:5 as far as mouth-feel, yellowness and overall quality of the products were concerned. On the overall, the mixing ratio of 7:3(JS milk: DSM milk) and the trypsin treatment of the mixture was recommended for better manufacturing of high-quality soybean cheese.

This study aimed to establish the optimum culture conditions for Mozzarella cheese by using Streptococcus macedonicus LC743, a strain selected for its immunomodulatory activity. For process optimization, 1.0% and 2.0% strain was inoculated and incubated at $32^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. The general components, bacterial count, total solids, yields, and immunomodulatory activity of the Mozzarella cheese were investigated. When the strain was inoculated at 2.0% and incubated at $32^{\circ}C$, the product quality and immunomodulatory activity was optimal and required minimal processing time. Therefore, 2.0% of S. macedonicus LC743 starter culture was added to milk at $32^{\circ}C$, after pasteurization at $63^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and agitated for 4~5 min after addition of $230{\mu}L/kg$ of rennet. Curd was made by setting the milk 25~35 min after addition of 0.01~0.02% calcium chloride. The curd was cut at 0.1~0.12% acidity (81 min later) and after heating the cheese to up to $43^{\circ}C$. Whey was removed at an acidity of 0.17~0.18% by agitation for 53 min. Next, cheddaring for 210 min up to an acidity of 0.6~0.65%, stretching at $72{\sim}75^{\circ}C$, and molding at $65{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ were performed, and the product was allowed to cool down to $5^{\circ}C$. Salting was done with a solution of $18{\sim}20^{\circ}B{\acute{e}}$ at $12^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and drying occurred at 80~90% relative humidity at $10^{\circ}C$ for 2~3 days.

Kunrak, a type of Korea traditional cheese, is made using Tarak, a yogurt produced with makgeolli as the fermentation source. Kunrak is produced by removing whey from Tarak, followed by drying process for safe storage and consumption over a longer period. In this study, we produced kunrak based on the method described in "Imwonsibyukji". Prepared Kunrak was ripening for 96 hours at 20, 30, and $40^{\circ}C$. In order to study characteristics of Kunrak, physiochemical properties (pH, acidity, water contents) and contents of metabolites (organic acids, sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids) were analyzed. During ripening, water contents decreased. The main organic acids in Kunrak were citric acid and lactic acid, and the main free sugar was lactose. Main amino acids were glutamate and phenylalanine, and main fatty acid was saturated capric acid. At later ripening, all metabolites increased immediately after preparation. The sensory evaluation score of overall preference was highest for Kunrak, which was ripening at $40^{\circ}C$ for 96 hours. This study was aimed to assay metabolites of Kunrak under various ripening conditions. The results provide basic data to produce conditions for standardized manufacturing of Kunrak.

While manufacturing blended tea, the temperature for pan-firing Rhus verniciflua seed (RVS) is important. The pan-firing duration was fixed to 15 minutes according to a sensory test. We then prepared four types of blended teas with varied ratios of RVS; all the four types showed similar pH, $^{\circ}Bx$, and hunter's color values with no significant difference. According to the sensory test, A-type tea blended with RVS was the most preferred. The antioxidant activity of A-type blended tea was evaluated during storage. The changes in the total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and antioxidant activity by DPPH and ABTS assays were monitored during storage at 4, 25, and $40^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. After 28 days of storage, values for total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were similar to the initial values. Moreover, microbial growth was not observed during that period.

Sodium is an essential nutrient with very important functions, including regulation of the extracellular fluid volume and active transport of molecules across the cell membranes. Since high levels of dietary sodium are associated with a high prevalence of hypertension, prehypertension, and other adverse effects on health, many national and international health organizations (WHO, FAO, etc.) recommend that sodium intake should be significantly decreased. In developed nations, cheese products, from among many processed foods, can cause high salt intake. Hence, there is an urgent need to reduce the content of salt in cheese processing, using various substitutes of sodium chloride (NaCl). In general, salt (NaCl) has been used as a food preservative to limit and (or) kill the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms by decreasing the water activity, and to improve texture and flavor. To maintain public health, the salt content in cheese should be decreased without influencing the physicochemical properties of cheese. Therefore, the objective of this review is to outline the upcoming technologies used to reduce the salt content in different types of cheese using various substitutes.

Recently, functional foods and bioactive components in foods have drawn the attention and interest of food scientists, nutritionists, health professionals, and general consumers. Bioactive whey protein is a highly concentrated milk serum isolate or concentrate, which is high in protein (80~90% protein by weight), carbohydrate- and sugar-free, and nonfat or very low in fat. Bioactive whey protein enhances both healthy and deficient immune systems. In general, ultrafiltered whey protein contains various whey protein concentrate peptides, which could be used for manufacturing probiotics added to health beverages. Hence, the objective of this paper was to review the published literature on research of new functionally improved health beverages using various bioactive components extracted from milk and dairy products.
