The effect of different porosity of onggis, Korean earthenware, on the fermentation of kochujang was investigated. The porosity was controlled with glazing treatment. Three kinds of onggis were made: one with no glazing treatment, one with outside glazing treatment, and one with both inside and outside glazing treatment. During 4 month fermentation of kochujang in porosity-controlled earthenwares, physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory quality attributes were monitored. Higher protease activity and higher contents of amino nitrogen, free amino acids, and total neucleotide were observed in kochujang fermented in the onggi with outside glazing treatment, which might have resulted in better sensory quality. Onggi with medium porosity could be effective for fermentation of kochujang.

This study aimed to examine quality properties of muffin by the amount of addition of Korean whole wheat flour (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) as there is increasingly higher interest in the healthy food. The effect of Korean whole wheat flour were evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, colorimeter, and sensory evaluation. Texture and moisture contents of muffins when storage (1, 3, 5 days) was measured. As the ratio of Korean whole wheat flour increased, the baking loss rate and weight increased, whereas the volume and specific volume was not significant. During storage, moisture content of muffins decreased significantly. The addition of Korean whole wheat flour increased lightness (L value) of crust and crumb decreased, whereas redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) increased. The control group (CON) showed the highest springiness lowest hardness. The muffin with 25% of Korean whole wheat flour (WHF25) in test group showed the high springiness low hardness. According to the sensory evaluation, the control group showed the highest score in terms of taste, however WHF25 showed the highest score in appearance, color, flavor, texture and overall acceptance, WHF25 showed the best result and the optimum addition of Korean whole wheat flour. Furthermore, this study proposes the possibility of development of various confectionery with using Korean whole wheat flour.

We optimized braising time to improve the storage quality of braised kidney beans. The beans were prepared with different heating times between 25 and 50 min. and then stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 20 day. Physical, chemical, microbiological, and organoleptic quality indices were monitored throughout storage. Longer braising times yielded products with lower concentrated brine coverage. Bis resulted in higher soluble contents and slightly lower water activities. Excessive heating time exposed the kidney beans to air and caused rapid microbial growth on the surfaces of the beans, which negatively affected product quality. The longest heating time of 50 min. also resulted in a large increase in product hardness. A braising time of 30 min. was best for preservation, as good sensory quality was mainatained.

Chlorella is an attractive potential food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients; when dried, it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fibre, and 10% minerals and vitamins. It has been widely used as a well-being food. We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared after addition of various concentrations of chlorella powder (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, as chlorella powder concentration rose, decreases in the moisture content, pH, L, a and b value became evident. The spread factor and hardness of the cookies slightly increased after the addition of chlorella powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, flavor, and texture were statistically very similar, but taste and overall acceptability scores were lower than those of the control. The result of this study showed that the quality of the cookies with the addition of 1% chlorella powder was the best in terms of its taste, flavor, texture, and sensory properties.

Kochujang(Korean red pepper paste) of 600 g was fermented in the different types of vessels (glass, polypropylene(PP), polyethylene terephthalate(PET), stainless steel and Korean porcelain called onggi) with 627 mL of volume during 4 months. The quality changes were monitored for physical, chemical and microbiological attributes. Onggi which had high porosity in the micro-structure provided kochujang with higher microbial counts of aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts than those of the other containers. Compared to kochujang fermented in the other containers, kochujang in Onggi showed higher protease activity, amino type nitrogen, and free amino acid content. The kochujang in Onggi also attained higher acidity, lower pH and higher reducing sugar concentration than those in the other containers. All changes were completed 2 or 3 months. Onggi showed water loss and salt increase of the kochujang comparable to those in the other vessels, which was from gradual clogging of the micropores during storage. All physical, chemical and microbiological changes made the kochujang in Onggi attain the sensory quality significantly better than those fermented in the other vessels.

Dasik is a type of Korean traditional confectionery that is kneaded with various grains, nuts or herb flour and honey and then pressed with a decorative press. Soybeans are a rich in protein, lipids, dietary fiber, minerals and fat soluble vitamins. Spirulina is a functional food that contains protein, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber and pigments. In this study, soybean Dasik containing spirulina was developed in an attempt to provide an easy method of incorporating spirulina into daily dietary life. In addition, we evaluated the quality characteristics of the soybean Dasik with spirulina that was developed here. Specifically, 0, 10, 20 and 30% spirulina was added to the soybean powder that was used to prepare soybean Dasik. Soybean Dasik that contained 30% spirulina had a higher moisture content and lower hardness when compared to other groups. In addition, the L, a and b value decreased as the level of spirulina increased. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of soybean Dasik increased according to the increase in the addition of spirulina. Specifically, the $IC_{50}$ values of the DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of the control group were 76.6 mg/mL and 100.7 mg/mL, respectively, whereas these values were 26.3 mg/mL and 32.9 mg/mL, respectively, in Soybean Dasik that contained 30% spirulina. When a sensory evaluation was conducted, the overall preference decreased as the level of added spirulina increased. When the buying intension was evaluated, the control group had the highest score (7.8), followed by that of the Dasik that contained 20% spirulina (7.2) The buying intention was lowest for the Dasik that contained 30% spirulina. In conclusion, Soybean Dasik that contained up to 20% spirulina would be maketable.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of breads with added Phellinus linteus grown in brown rice (BRPL). For color values, with increasing added BRPL powder, "lightness" decreased in the crumb while "redness" and "yellowness" increased ($^{***}$ p<0.001). The highest scores in volume and specific volume were observed in white pan bread with 5% BRPL powder added. When 10%, 15%, and 20% BRPL powder were substituted for equal amounts of strong flour, the volume and specific volume ratios of white pan bread decreased ($^{***}$ p<0.001). In texture measurements for white pan breads, hardness decreased slightly with the addition of 5% BRPL powder, but significantly ($^{***}$ p<0.001) increased with addition of 10%, 15%, and 20% BRPL powder. The addition of the BRPL powder significantly increased the springiness, gumminess, and brittleness of the white pan bread. The highest sensory scores for color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance were obtained from white pan bread with 5% BRPL powder added ($^{***}$ p<0.001). By the results of these experiments, we can conclude that the hightest quality of bread with added BRPL powder has no more than 10% added BRPL powder content.
