To develope a sauce using Gochujang which can give foreigners good overall acceptance such as good flavor, taste, color, viscosity and versatility to many foods, we studied on the rheological properties and color control, recipes with spices, herbs, syrup, salt and flavor ingredients and sensory evaluation by Chinese, American and Japanese including Korean. From the survey, the Americans suggested that the proper fellow food of Gochujang sauce be fried chicken, barbecue, hamburger and pina, and hoped to reflect red color, low viscosity, hot taste, low sweetness, salty and sourness and diet effect. The Chinese suggest pork and fried food as a fellow with Gochujang sauce and showed similar opinion in the sensory attributes like the Americans except sweetness. When 5% of starch and xanthan gum was added to sauce, respectively, the yield stress of Gochujang sauce showed 33.21 Pa similar to tomato ketchup. In fluidity measured by voistic flow meter, Gochujang sauce showed 6.2 cm/30sec more or less faster than tomato ketchup which showed 4.7 cm/30sec. Gochujang sauce tended to show strong red color and lightness as pH decreased. The pH adjustant and Paprica oleoresin(2%) improved a value to 12.11 and L value to 24.24 similar to tomato kechup(a:12.42, L:25.48). The 1st gochujang sauce product show 4.50 to 5.75 pots in the overall acceptance in the consumer test including foreigners and koreans. However, the 2nd Gochujang sauce product showed 5.90 points and 6.30 points in the pina and fried chicken, respectively, in the same consumer test. Therefore, we propose that Gochujang can be used for developing sauce products which is most acceptable for various foreigners.

The mechanical characteristics (texture and color) and consumer preference of Doraji Yanggengs using different pre-treatments and added levels of Doraji were presently evaluated. Three kinds of Doraji Yanggengs were made with differing amounts of Doraji powder (DPY; 30, 50, or 70 g), ground raw Doraji (GRDY; 100, 200, or 300 g), and Doraji juice (DJY; 100, 200, or 300 g). Texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness) and color values (lightness, redness, yellowness) were measured three times in three experiments conducted with each formulation. Preference was measured with a nine-point hedonic scale for Yanggengs once every three experiments. Consumer preference was measured with color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability. Significant differences according to the amount of Doraji powder were evident with DPY for hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.05), and cohesiveness (p<0.001). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.01), and gumminess (p<0.01) of 100 g GRDY displayed higher scores than 200 g and 300 g GRDY, but displayed significantly lower scores in cohesiveness (p<0.01). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.001), gumminess (p<0.01), and cohesiveness (p<0.05) of DJY showed significant differences according to amount of Doraji juice. The highest score in a preference test among DPYs was evident for 30 g DPY. There were no significant differences in preference among GRDYs and DJYs. Color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability were significantly (p<0.01) correlated in all Yanggengs. DJY was preferred more than DPY and GRDY. Women in their forties and fifties preferred Yanggeng more when compared to women in their twenties and thirties.

Jujube is a functional food, containing medicinal ingredients without side effects. Jujube can relieve digestive upset, inhibit tumor growth and protect the liver. It includes sterols, alkaloids, saponins, vitamins, organic acids, and amino acids. Jujube has also received attention as an anticancer agent and as a diet food. However, it is rare to find yogurt made with jujube, so we considered adding jujube powder to yogurt to popularize it as a new health food. We made yogurt with jujube powder at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%. We measured pH, acidity, color properties (brightness, redness, yellowness), viscosity, sensory qualities (color, flavor, taste, overall quality). We also experimented with storage stability at intervals of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days. The results showed that pH increased significantly (p<0.001) with increasing amounts of added jujube powder. The pH also rose significantly with longer storage, but tended to decrease after 20 days. Acidity was reduced during the storage period. Viscosity was highest with 1% added jujube powder (p<0.001) on day 5 of storage (p<0.001). The L color value decreased as the amount of added jujube powder increased, whereas the a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) increased (p<0.001). In an sensory test, color in samples with 0, 1, and 2% jujube powder exhibited the highest values (p<0.01), but no significant differences in flavor or texture were observed. Sweetness and sourness were highest in the yogurt with 3% jujube powder (p<0.05). Overall quality tended to be higher for yogurt with 3% jujube powder, but the difference was in significant. Taken together, our results indicate that yogurt with 3% jujube powder may the most suitable for manufacturing purposes.

Chiffon cakes with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10% of mulberry powder were made. Specific gravity and batter stability of chiffon cake batter were measured. And moisture content, color, height, weight, texture of chiffon cakes were measured. Consumers also evaluated the chiffon cakes for their liking. Specific gravity of control batter was 0.5 and there were no significant differences between control and chiffon cakes with 2, 4, 6, and 8% of the mulberry powder. The sample with 10% mulberry powder had specific gravity of 0.64 and it was significantly higher compared to the control. Stability of the batters were measured using Turbiscan and the control was the least stable whereas the batter with 2% mulberry powder was the most stable. The moisture content and weight of the cake did not differ between the control chiffon cake and cakes with mulberry powder. The height of the cake was the highest for the control cake at 7.56cm, but the differences between control, and samples with 2, 4, 6, and 8% mulberry powder were not significant. The sample with 10% mulberry powder had lower height of 6.55cm. 'L', 'a', and 'b' values of crust decreased significantly with increased content of mulberry powder. Crumb color('L' and 'b' values) decreased as mulberry powder content increased, while the 'a' value increased. Hardness significantly decreased as mulberry content increased. However, fracturability and springiness did not differ between control and sample cakes. Resilience of the control and sample cakes prepared with 2% mulberry powder were lowest, and resilience increased significantly as the amount of mulberry powder increased beyond 4%. Control cake was preferred overall by consumers, while the color, softness, and flavor of mulberry powder prepared cakes(particularly 2% powder) were specifically preferred. Mulberry flavor and astringency increased as the amount of mulberry powder increased, while sweetness did not change. The intensity of the egg flavor significantly decreased as the amount of mulberry powder increased. Intensity ratings of off-flavor did not differ among control and sample cakes. We recommend the addition of 2~6% mulberry powder to the recipe for chiffon cake.

Glutinous rice dduk, traditional Korean rice cake, was prepared using rice(white glutinous rice, brown glutinous rice, black glutinous rice, gaba glutinous rice) as a meal alternative, and each of their quality characteristics were compared. This study had checked sensory tests, color differences, moisture contents, texture characteristics, and storage lives of dduk during storage at room temperature for 6 days. The moisture contents of black glutinous rice dduk scored the highest. For color properties, gaba glutinous rice dduk was darker with a decreased yellow value, whereas its red value was higher comparing with that of brown glutinous rice dduk. The results of the preference test showed that appearance, flavor, texture, and overall preference were the highest in white glutinous rice dduk, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest score. The results of the color difference test showed that softness, viscoelasticity, and fineness were the highest in white glutinous rice dduk, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the highest difference in color. For individual textural characteristics, black glutinous rice dduk showed the highest score, whereas white glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest scores in hardness, chewiness, and gumminess. In the results of the textural characteristics of dduk during storage, white glutinous rice dduk showed the highest increase in hardness after 48 hours, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest increase. White glutinous rice dduk showed the highest increases in chewiness and gumminess. Cohesiveness decreased in all glutinous rice dduk. In the results of fungal occurrence in dduk during storage, black and gaba glutinous rice dduk showed increased fungi occurrence compared with white and brown glutinous rice dduk after 6 days. In conclusion, the overall preference for glutinous rice dduk made from different rice is more affected by appearance or texture than flavor.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cooked rice during warm-keeping with different temperature $(70,\;75,\;80^{\circ}C)$ and period (0, 6, 12, 24, 48 hr) were investigated. As the storage temperature increased, sweet flavor, glossiness, moistness, taste and moisture content decreased but off-flavor, color and sensory and texturometric hardness increased. This trend was significant with storage period. As the storage time and temperature increased, yellowness(b) measured by Hunter color difference meter increased while lightness(L) and whiteness decreased. Degree of retrogradation of cooked rice during storage increased, particularly did in cooked rice stored at $80^{\circ}C$. Cooked rice stored at 70 and $75^{\circ}C$, 6 hr had the least changes in flavor and appearance but more changes in them longer storage time. Cooked rice stored at $80^{\circ}C$ had rapid changes in flavor, appearance and texture at initial state of storage. These results showed that the changes in moisture content of cooked rice stored at various conditions had the most important effect upon sensory characteristics of cooked rice.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of rosemary on the quality characteristics of tomato sauce during storage period(60days). As storage time went by, analysis of color differences of tomato sauce showed that "L", "a", "b"-value of tomato sauce less decreased with more herbs added, but there were no significant differences. As storage time went by, the pH ranged between 4.10-4.25, the sweetness between $10.50-9.67^{\circ}Brix$, and the salinity between 0.90~1.56 among all additions. Also, the more herbs were added, the more viscosity increased. The reducing sugar content ranged between 38.87-55.38, and its highest was shown in the sample with 0% of rosemary during the storage period. The sensory evaluation was performed with scoring tests for color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, viscosity, and overall acceptability by 15 professional panelists. The result showed that the tomato sauce with 1% rosemary was the best in the color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, and overall acceptability. From the above results, the study suggests that the addition of 1% fresh rosemary to tomato sauce is recommended for commercial use.

This study analyzed the quality characteristics of the Sansapyun products, which were manufactured by mixing with 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30% of Crataegi fructus concentrate and 9% of mung bean starch. The moisture content and pH in Sansapyun decreased significantly(p<0.001) as the concentration of Crataegi fructus concentrate increased. Sweetness increased as the amount of Crataegi fructus concentrate increased in both Before/After cases. As for the L value of the color characteristics of Sansapyun, it turned out that the control group, which had 0% of Crataegi fructus concentrate, was higher. Meanwhile, the a and b values were the strongest with 30% of Crataegi fructus concentrate. As the concentration increased, the hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness all decreased significantly(p<0.001), while adhesiveness became higher as the concentration increased. The preference test showed that the increase of the concentration resulted in the increase of red color, fruity flavor, sour flavor, Chinese (herb) medicine flavor, sour taste, sweetness, Chinese (herb) medicine taste, stickiness, and aftertaste. However, the sleekness, transparency, hardness and springiness decreased as the concentration increased. The survey on the preference showed that the preferences for flavor, taste and overall preference were the highest at the 10% sample group, but the preferences for color and texture were the highest at the 20% sample group.

This study investigated the effects of pretreatment and storage conditions on the properties of stored chestnuts. Effects on chestnuts of refrigerated storage (RNT) and frozen storage (FNT) with no pretreatment, frozen storage after oxalic acid treatment without blanching (FON) and with blanching (FOB) were examined. Water binding capacity, swelling power, solubility, and viscosity of the starch produced from RNT, FNT, and FON were similar to those of the starch produced from control (CON). FOB showed significant differences in these properties from CON. Textural properties of starch gels prepared from stored chestnuts except FOB also were very similar to those of CON starch gels. The sensory characteristics of steamed FON and FNT were similar to those of steamed CON except in brown color and hardness. Steamed FNT tended to have higher brown color and lower hardness than steamed FON. Steamed RNT showed significant differences in all the sensory properties except in hardness and cooked chestnut flavor. Steamed FOB was significantly higher than steamed CON in water release and off-flavor. Among the storage conditions examined, frozen storage with oxalic acid treatment is recommended for the long-term storage of chestnuts.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial activity against Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella enteritidis as well as the sensory attributes of milk products supplemented with various concentrations (control, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) of clove oil. In this study, clove oil was shown to have strong antibacterial activities. In addition, all the samples were assessed by ten researchers trained in five sensory attributes, namely, taste, flavor, color, texture, and overall acceptability. Compared to the control, 5% clove oil supplemented was the best in market milk, while in yogurt and kefir, 1.0% supplementation was the best. In terms of sensory attributes, the low score of color and flavor of market milk, yogurt, and kefir is attributed to the characteristics of the supplemented clove oil. Consequently, this study presents the possibility of producing bio-functional milk products supplemented with clove oil, and for controlling the growth of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in milk products using clove oil.
