This study evaluated the physicochemical characteristics of domestic and imported packaged Kimchi in Korea. Six types of domestic and imported Kimchi were collected from a supermarket. According to the results, the salt concentrations of the domestic and imported Kimchi were 3.83% and 3.06%, respectively. The total lactic acid content was 0.33% for domestic Kimchi, and 0.29% for imported Kimchi. The total vitamin C content was found to be higher in the domestic Kimchi (30.9mg%) than in the imported Kimchi(25.9mg%). These results suggest that both are within the standards of the Korea Food and Drug Administration in terms of food containment: 1% or lower for acid, and $1{\sim}4%$ for salt. For the number of aerobic bacteria present in each of them, both contain approximately $10^4{\sim}10^5\;CFU/g$g, which is safely under the FDA standard of $10^7{\sim}10^8 \;CFU/g$. Therefore, neither is harmful at all in terms of the number of bacteria but continuous monitoring will be necessary. from texture analysis, the hardness and chewiness of the domestic Kimchi was better than the imported Kimchi. The hardness and chewiness of the domestic Kimchi indicated a better production process than imported Kimchi. There may not be a particular difference in terms of the sensory evaluation apart from its crispy taste. However, this also needs to be continuously monitored while the Kimchi is undergoing the fermentation process.

To make tofu (soybean curd) with cuttlefish int the cuttlefish ink diluted 20-fold was added to soymilk in the ratio of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% there is no respective comparison here respectively and the prepared cuttlefish inky tofu samples were stored for 15 days at $4^{\circ}C$. After storage, the tofu samples were tested for yield, pH, acidity, bacterial growth, sensory evaluations and physical properties. The yields of 7%(I7) and especially 9%(I9) cuttlefish ink tofu were higher than that of the control tofu(I0). The pH was decreased, but the acidity was increased with increasing storage period. The microorganism count of I9 was the lowest during the storage period. The turbidity gradually increased until 9 days of storage and rapidly increased at 12 days of storage. In the measurement of inky tofu color, the L and b values were decreased during the storage period. In the texture analysis, the hardness, gumminess and brittleness of inky tofu were increased until 12 days of storage but then decreased. Chewiness was decreased with increasing storage period. Springiness of Il and I3 was higher than that of I0. In sensory evaluation, color was increased with increasing cuttlefish inky concentration. Sleekness of I3 was the highest. Hardness and chewiness of inky Il and I3 were the highest. Springiness, cohesiveness and softness were the highest in I3. In overall acceptability, I3 gained the highest score.

The effects of sea tangle, sea mustard, hijiki, and glasswort were investigated based on the proximate composition, salinity, cooking loss, emulsion stability, pH, color, texture profile analysis, apparent viscosity, and sensory characteristics of reduced-salt (NaCl) meat batter and frankfurters. The moisture content, salinity, lightness of the meat batter and frankfurter, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the reduced-salt frankfurters with sea weeds were lower than the control without seaweed (p<0.05). The protein content, springiness, and cohesiveness of the reduced-salt frankfurters were not significantly different among the treatments (p>0.05). The moisture content, salinity, cooking loss, lightness, redness, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard were lower than the control (p<0.05). Among the sensory traits, color was highest in the control (p<0.05). The flavor was also highest in the control. The treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard samples had high tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability scores similar to the control (p<0.05). The results of this study show that the combination of low-salt and seaweed in the formulation successfully improved reduced-salt frankfurters, improving sensory characteristics to levels similar to the regular salt control (1.5%).

This study examines the moisture contents, color, texture and sensory characteristics of $sulgidduk$ added with $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder(0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%). According to the result, the moisture content decreased with increasing addition of the $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder. The L-value decreased with increasing addition of $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder. However, a-value and b-value increased with increasing addition of$agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder. For the texture of$agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder $sulgidduk$, its hardness, gumminess and chewiness increased with increasing addition of $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder while its adhesiveness and springiness decreased. The sensory evaluation showed that the one added with 6% of $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder was the best in color, flavor and overall acceptability. Consequently, the optimal $sulgidduk$ formulation includes 6% of $agaricus$ $blasei$ Murill powder in color, flavor and overall acceptability.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of black pigmented rice flour added in the soybean on the quality of soybean dasik. Chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness and hardness were varied significantly by addition of black pigmented rice while springiness and adhesiveness were no difference in the soybean dasik. Chewiness in addition of over 40% was significantly reduced than that of control. The more addition of black pigmented rice reduced the gumminess the more significantly. Cohesiveness in addition of over 40% was reduced significantly. Hardness was significantly decreased with the amount of addition of black pigmented rice. Panel sensory test scores indicated that the soybean dasik with addition of 40% black pigmented rice was the most propper for color, taste, flavor and texture.

Sulgidduk is a kind of basic steamed rice cake in Korea. Multifunctional portable grinder was used for making sulgidduk and investigated the characteristic changes of rice powder for deciding the proper particle size of rice powder. Operation times for grinding the water absorbed swelled rice were 10, 20, 30 and 40 seconds. Moisture contents of rice powder and sulgidduk showed an increasing tendency with an increase of operation times for grinding. Springiness showed significant differences according to the operation times. Cohesiveness was decreased severely after 40 seconds grinding. Chewiness showed high after 20 seconds grinding in all groups; however, decreased after 40 seconds grinding and showed similar chewiness of the control group. Fracturability also showed severe increased tendency after 20 seconds grinding and decreased after 30 seconds grinding. Strength and hardness showed significant differences; they were increased until 30 seconds and severely decreased after 40 seconds grinding. L values showed significant differences in all the groups ($p{\leq}0.05$). The a and b values did not show any differences in all groups. Overall sensory evaluations, such as colors, flavors and texture, were increased with operation times for grinding and showed significant differences among the groups (p<0.05). As a result of this study, 40 seconds grinding times were the best condition for making sulgidduk, using by multifunctional grinder.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of Baiksulgis made of imported rice(Thai and Chinese rice, harvested in 1998) and domestic rice(Chuchung byeo, harvested in 1998 and 1997). Moisture content, color value, yields of reducing sugar by $\beta$-amylase reaction, texture and sensory properties of Baiksulgis were measured. Moisture contents of rice flour and Baiksulgi made of Korean rice harvested in 1997 were highest and those of Thai rice were lowest among the samples. This tends were also seen during storage. Lightness and redness of Baiksulgi made of Thai rice were lowest and yellowness of Baiksulgis made of Korean rice harvested in 1997 and Chinese rice were higher than those made of other rices. Yield of reducing sugar by $\beta$-amylase reaction was highest in Baiksulgi made of Korean rice harvested in 1998 and lowest in Baiksulgi made of Thai rice. And the value decreased less than half of initial value after 24 hour storage. Adhesiveness of Baiksulgi made of Thai rice was zero and cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess of that were very low. This results showed that Baiksulgi made of Thai rice was lack of chewy texture and this trend was more apparent as the storage time increased. In sensory tests, Baiksulgi made of Chinese rice had most yellowish color and that made of imported rice such as Chinese and Thai rice had more coarse texture than that made of domestic rices. off odor was lowest in Baiksulgi made or Korean rice harvested in 1997 and sweet taste was lowest in that made or Thai rice. Hardness adhesiveness, moistness and chewiness of Baiksulgi made of domestic rices were much higher than those made of impoted rices, and these results showed that Baiksulgi made of domestic rices had acceptable texture. Baiksulgi made of Thai rice showed the lowest acceptability due to lack of above textural characteristics and it was needed to add the material to modify the texture of that.

The texture measurement of Chinese cabbage leaves used for Kimchi preparation were con ducted by cutting and compression test and the results were compared to the sensory evaluation. The cutting force of cabbage leaf stalk increased by blanching or salting, and a maximum cutting force was attained by salting in 15% salt solution for 5 hours. The compression force and recovered height measured by compression test of Chinese cabbage leaf stalk decreased by blanching or salting, and the breaking point disappeared. Treatment with $CaCl_2$ solution increased the cutting force compression force and breaking strength of fresh leaves, but the effect disappeared by salting or blanching. Cutting strength could be used as a parameter indicating the hardness and chewiness of salted cabbage. Compression force and breaking strength could indicate the textural changes of blanched leaves, but were not useful for the measurement of hardness and chewiness of salted leave.
