Purpose: This study was to investigate the quality characteristics of wet noodle added with radish juice containing with pulp. Methods: Wet noodles were prepared with different amounts of radish juice (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, w/w) instead of water. Results: As the amount of radish juice was increased, water absorption, volume increasing rate, and turbidity of soup were decreased. Lightness (L) values of uncooked wet noodles and cooked noodles were decreased with the addition of radish juice, while redness (a) and yellowness (b) values had no tendency of increasing or decreasing, regardless of the amount of radish juice. Moreover, lightness, redness, and yellowness values of uncooked noodles were higher than those of cooked noodles. The texture of cooked noodles showed significant differences in hardness and chewiness. It was increased as the amount of radish juice was increased. Their adhesiveness and springiness were lower than those of the control. Appearance, texture, and overall acceptability of sensory evaluation revealed that the noodle added with 80% of radish juice had the highest scores, although there were no differences among noodles added with different amounts of radish juice. Conclusion: In summary, the most desirable blending ratio of radish juice and water for the kneading of wet noodles was 80:20.

This study was performed to investigate the changes in meat quality characteristics of the sous vide cooked chicken breast during refrigerated storage at 4℃ for 14 d between before and after sous-vide cooking. Cooking loss and shear force were significantly increased, whereas expressible drip was significantly decreased along with reduction in the water holding capacity in both of two groups. Redness of meat juice was significantly (p<0.05) increased during storage, and considerably increased in the refrigerated samples after sous-vide cooked at the 7 to 10 d. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) was significantly increased and was higher in the refrigerator stored chicken breast samples after sous-vide cooking. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) value was significantly increased in both groups, but the VBN value of the stored raw meat sample before sous-vide cooking was increased at an early storage, while the VBN value of the stored sample after sous-vide cooking was increased gradually in this study. Total viable counts and coliform counts were significantly decreased during storage, and coliforms were not detected after 7 d of storage in both groups. Salmonella spp. was not detected during the whole studied period. The outcome of this research can provide preliminary data that could be used to apply for further study of chicken breast using sous-vide cooking method that could be attractive to consumers.

In order to study the cooking characteristics of four rice cultivars of Seolhyangchal, Baegjinju, Ilpum and Haiami, we investigated the relationship between the textures of cooked rice and their physicochemical properties. Different levels in grain weight. length/width ratio and amylose content were observed among the four rice cultivars. There was no significant difference in the amylopectin chain length distribution among the cultivars. Water absorptions of rice grains during soaking were completed between 30 and 40 min, with Haiami showing the slowest absorption. Significant differences in the viscosity properties of rice flour were found by a Rapid Visco Analyser. Baegjinju with low amylose content had the highest viscosity in paste breakdown. According to the DSC results of rice starches, there were significant differences in the onset, peak and conclusion temperatures of the endothermic peak. Gelatinization enthalpy showed energy content changes between 4.20 and 6.97 J/g, with the lowest change in Haiami. Texture properties of cooked rice were assessed using a Texture Analyzer, which showed that the hardness of cooked rice was decreased with soaking than without soaking. However, this finding was not applicable for Haiami rice.

In this study, the effects of gamma irradiation on the microbial, physical characteristics, sensory qualities and antioxidant activity of Kongnamul Muchim(cooked soybean sprouts) were investigated. Gamma irradiation at 3 kGy inhibited microbial growth until 4 weeks of storange at $4^{\circ}C$ and until 5 days at and $25^{\circ}C$. The 3 kGy dose did not significantly affect the hardness of the sprouts; however Hunter's color values for lightness, redness and yellowness were changed. Low-dose gamma irradiation(up to 2 kGy) did not significantly affect the antioxidant activity of the Kongnamul Muchim. Also, based on a triangle sensory test, the gamma irradiated Kongnamul Muchim was not significantly different from the control. From these results, it is suggested that the applying gamma irradiation to cooked vegetables at doses lower than 3 kGy is recommended to extend shelf-life and maintain quality characteristics.

Optimal Chinese-noodle product in the aspect of preference and quality that added functionality, the focus was put on developing the stable high value-added product in a farm household. Experimental results showed that the value for infrared water-content analysis of moisture was $85.74{\pm}0.12%$, crude protein was $1.31{\pm}0.01%$, the crude fat $3.91{\pm}0.08%$, the ash $1.83{\pm}0.01%$, carbohydrate $1.08{\pm}0.03%$, and crude fiber $6.12{\pm}0.10%$. For all experiments with Chinese noodles, the grape peels were frozen and dried, powdered, and filtered with a 150-mesh strainer. The grape-peel powder, was added to the composite flour in a proportion of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. The color of the cooked noodle appeared brown, demonstrating that the L-value decreased as the amount of grape-peel powder increased. The value of a, which corresponds to the level of redness, increased and the cooked noodle appeared brown as the amount of grape-peel powder added increased. The yellowness of the cooked noodle tended to decrease as the value of b, which corresponds to the level of yellowness, gradually (p<0.05). In the texture analysis, hardness was highest in the 7% grape-peel powder group, while the 5% groups showed the highest springness values. The 1% groups showed the highest cohesivness while the 7% groups were the chewiest. The 7% groups had the lowest stickiness values (p<0.05). It terms of sensory quality, the overall surface color, texture and taste were perceived as superior for the 3% grape-peel powder-added groups and lowest for the 7% group (p<0.001). The 3% treatment showed the best overall quality.

This study evaluated the effects of thermal processing combined with high pressure on the properties of cooked pork. Pressurization followed by heating (PFH), heating followed by pressurization (HFP) and heating under pressurization (HUP) treatments were compared to a heated only control. Cooked meat without simultaneous pressurization showed little or no decrease in water binding properties relative to the control, regardless of the sequence of pressurization and heating. However, HUP treated pork had significantly higher water binding properties than the control (p<0.05). The pH values of all treatments were not significantly different with the exception of HUP at 300 MPa. The HUP treated pork showed the best tenderizing effects among all the treatments tested and the effect was more significant at increased pressure levels (p<0.05). In addition, increasing pressure levels significantly increased the L-values of pork (p<0.05). PFH and HFP treated pork had significantly lower a-values (p<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in HUP. HUP treated pork had the lowest b-values at 100 MPa. however, the differences were not significant at increasing pressure levels. These results indicate that heating under pressure is the best cooking condition for improving the quality characteristics of pork without adversely affecting its appearance.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of plant scale and cooking conditions on the quality characteristics of sausages during refrigerated storage. Methods: Sausages used in this study were classified into two groups: those submitted to $1^{st}$ cooked treatments and those submitted to $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), gas production ratio, and microorganisms were measured in triplicate. Results: The change of quality in the products was assessed every 7 days by measuring pH, VBN levels, total microbes, coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, and pathogenic bacteria in the products. Pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, and E. coli were not detected in the sausages with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments. The results showed that the pH of the sausages decline as storage time increased. The pH value of the sausages with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments changed gradually. VBN levels were generally lower in products with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments than in those with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments, but they varied with the type of products. On the $35^{th}$ day, the number of total microbes ranged between 6.13-7.12 log CFU/g in products with $1^{st}$ cooked treatments and 3.44-6.92 log CFU/g in products with $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments, showing fewer bacteria in the latter products. Conclusions: $1^{st}$ cooked treatments were effective in microbial control, but $2^{nd}$ cooked treatments could prolong the shelf life of the sausages, indicating a need for differential management of each product.

The objective of this study was to evaluate several varieties of aseptic-packaged cooked rice including Juanbyeo. Quality evaluations, such as by amylose, setback, toyo values and amylograms, were significantly higher in the Juanbyeo as compared to other samples. In addition, the Juanbyeo aseptic-packeged cooked rice showed significantly higher palatability characteristics and had a greater water absorption ratio than the other samples. For cold cooked rice, the relationship between palatability and texture was significantly high (p<0.01). Ilpumbyeo showed high scores for taste as a hot cooked rice, but as a cold cooked rice taste scores were lower than other samples. In the case of Juanbyeo cold cooked rice flavor was improved. When the Juanbyeo aseptic-packaged cooked rice was reheated in a microwave oven, it had better palatability than other varieties. Thus, the results of this study suggested that Juanbyeo can be effectively utilized as aseptic-packaged cooked rice.

The present study investigated the influence of different volumes of red hot pepper juice on the quality characteristics of fresh Pasta noodle. Supplementation with 0% (control), 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, or 10% red hot pepper juice produced similar gelatinization characteristics of peak viscosity, temperature at peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity and numerical value of breakdown. However, increasing concentrations of red hot pepper juice produced progressively and significantly low cold paste viscosity and setback. The chromaticity of wet and cooked noodles was significantly lower in L value and significantly higher in +a and +b values with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice. The texture of fresh noodles displayed no significant differences in hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness. The springiness and cohesiveness were lower and higher with the increase of added red hot pepper juice, respectively, but the differences just attained significance. For cooked noodles, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness tended to be higher with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice, but again the differences just attained significance. Cooking characteristics of weight, volume, moisture absorptive power and turbidity decreased with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice. Sensory characteristics of acceptability including appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and overall-acceptability improved with increasing red hot pepper juice volume, in particular with 5% and 7.5%. Amylograph characteristics for initial paste temperature positively correlated with the texture characteristics for chewiness (p<0.05). Negatively correlated amylograph parameters included texture for springiness with for peak viscosity (p<0.01), texture for adhesiveness with hot paste viscosity (p<0.01) and breakdown with texture for adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness (p<0.05).
