${\alpha}-amylase$ activities of bean water was not significantly influenced by bean water concentrations but they were remarkably influenced by different temperatures and substrates. ${\alpha}-amylase$ activities of bean water on cooked starch were significantly higher than those on raw starch. ${\beta}-amylase$ and glucoamylase activities in 14% bean water were significantly higher than those in 7% bean water. Yukwa paste is glutinous rice flour paste. Bean water was added to Yukwa paste by 0, 7, 14% and incubated 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 hours at $60^{\circ}C$. The pH of Yukwa paste increased with bean water concentration and decreased with the incubation time. The viscosity decreased with bean water concentration and incubation time. The ruducing sugar content of Yukwa paste increased with bean water concentration and incubation time. The changes of reducing sugar content in cooked Yukwa paste were much higher than those in the raw one. ${\alpha},\;{\beta}-amylase$glucoamylase activities of Yukwa paste also increased with bean water concentration, and their activities were much higher on the cooked glutinous rice flour than those on the raw one. The SEM observation on the freeze-dried flour of Yukwa paste showed breakdown of amylopectin structure by addition of bean water in the paste.

Scanning electron microscopy was used to study changes in granule shape, dough and cooked noodle structure of pea starch-wheat composite flour with 20% and 30% pea starch substitution. The granule shape of pea starch with low swelling power and solubility was oval, irregular and smooth, which had more a deep groove than corn starch and wheat flour. During gelatinization, pea starch after swelling was partially collapsed but it still held its main shape. The dough microstructure of 20% pea starch substitution showed compact structure distributed with more small starch granules than wheat dough and was held in discontinuous network. When cooked, more open filamentous network where starch gelatinization was complete were noticed. Swollen but partially collapsed large starch granules maintaining their shape were appeared in noodle structure after 30 min soaking in soup. In farinograph studies, 20% pea starch substitution to wheat flour showed that MTI value was as same as wheat flour even though stability was slightly decreased so that it was considered that it has proper property of noodle making.

The effects of the addition of germinated whole soy flour on dough and noodle characteristics were investigated in this study. The soybeans were germinated for 12 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ and ground to 60 mesh. With increasing soybean flour addition up to $16\%$, the RVA viscograph and mixograph properties were significantly decreased both with and without the addition of $3\%$ salt(p<0.05). The width and length extensibility were increased with increasing whole soy flour addition up to $8\%$ after which they decreased. The addition of the whole soy flour turned the color of the wet and cooked noodle a little darkish and greenish yellow. The hardness and gumminess of wet noodle increased with increasing whole soy flour amount, while those of cooked noodle gradually decreased. Sensory evaluation showed that addition of tile whole soy flour significantly increased the savory flavor and yellowish color of cooked noodle.

A survey was implemented to suggest basic data for assuring the safety of cooked foods in foodbank operations. A questionnaire consisted of total 48 items including general characteristics, basic inputs and perceived importance/performance of sanitary management. One hundred twenty-eight responses among the 267 nationwide foodbanks were used for the statistical analysis. About forty-one percent of foodbanks was operated a period of 1-3 years and 43.0% of them were managed by social welfare organizations. The number of staff was only 0.5 person per operation with the whole responsibility and 1.0 with additional work, and thus most of the work was managed by volunteers. Job satisfaction was shown to be moderate and was affected by specialty and salary mostly. The facilities and equipment in foodbanks were not enough to operate and freezers/refrigerators were the top priority to supplement. Most of the respondents attended a nationwide level sanitary education program (79.7%); but complained not enough frequency of education (90%). The sanitary status of the donated foods was considered as satisfactory but some safety practices had to be improved, including personnel expenses and operating costs in the district level, a sanitary awareness of the donors and a general management of the facilities arid equipment. An assessment on sanitary management resulted in an overall average of 4.45 out of 5 points in importance and 3.85 in performance showing the high level of sanitation perception in foodbank managers. From the IPA analysis, the fields found to be improved were sanitation management during cooking and temperature control as well as cleanliness and sanitation of both transport vehicle and refrigerator/freezer. To secure the food safety in foodbanks, consequently, personnel support, supplement of facilities and equipment, intense sanitation education and development of sanitation management program is needed.

'Chalok 1/Cooktail 51' corns, supersweet corn gene controlled by either brittle-l (bt l) or shrunken-2(sh2) gene introduced into waxy corn, showed agronomic characteristics between supersweet corn and waxy corn. The ears were harvested at different development stages from 15 to 35 days after silking (DAS). Ear diameter of Cocktail 51 and 'Cocktail 51'/Chalok 1 increased from 15 DAS to 30 DAS and little increased thereafter, but that of Chalok 1/Cocktail 51 and 'Chalok l' increased until 35 DAS. Diameter of ear extension increased more in Cocktail 51 and Chalok 1/Cocktail 51 corn than Chalok 1. Ear fresh weight of Cocktail 51 decreased later 30 DAS but those of the other hybrids were vice versa. Rate of super-sweet kernels per ear of Chalok 1/Cocktail 51 corns was about 38 %. Development, and elongation of kernel were much more prominent in supersweet kernel than in waxy kernel, but fresh weight increased higher in waxy kernel than supersweet kernel. Moisture content in kernel decreased from 15 DAS to 35 DAS. Total sugar content of the kernel increased until 25 DAS, and that of Cocktail 51 kernel showed the highest among of them. After cooked by steam, flavor and mastication feeling rate cooked by steam of Cocktail 51 and Chalok 1/Cocktail 51 were increased from 15 DAS to 25 DAS and markedly decreased thereafter. But those of Chalok l/Cocktail 51 and, Chalok 1 were decreased after 30 DAS. These results suggested that the optimum harvest date for fresh supersweet corn (Cocktail 51), Cocktail 51/Chalok 1 seems to be about 20 DAS and Chalok 1/Cocktail 51 and waxy com (Chalok 1) was about 25 DAS.

Jangsu, a Korean ancient non-alcoholic beverage made by lactic acid fermentation of cooked rice, was prepared and the microbial characteristics were investigated. The periodic removal of fermented product and the addition of newly made cooked rice and cold water as new substrate enhanced the growth of lactic acid forming bacteria but supressed the growth of proteolytic bacteria. The important microorganisms in jangsu were Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Pediococccus and Leuconostoc species. Lactococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus coryniformis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were identified. The isolated strains were cultivated and used as starter culture of jangsu. Some useful strains were selected which were able to produce acceptable flavor and sufficient amount of acid lowering the pH to near 4.0.

Cooking is the final production stage of the food industry and is an essential part to define the distinctive feature. Consumers do not want to change their cooking styles because hey team the cooking styles as practices and customs from their region or their ancestor and they are skilled in their use. Corpulence is a major health concern in developed countries and developing countries alike. This study was conducted to suggest the arts of cooking for pork cutlet, a typical dish cooked by batter-fried food, and to decrease the intake of fat and calories. As a result, the fat contents of pork cutlet were lower (p<0.05) than when it was conducted with frying and oven baking. Especially, the pork cutlet cooked by oven baking showed a $10\%$ reduction in calories (p<0.05) compared to frying. The organic functional tests were satisfactory, and oven baking will help people who need dietary treatment.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured by Lactobacillus acidophilus on the physical characteristics of cooked noodle. Different scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis results for noodle gelatinization showed that the noodles containing flour ferment had higher enthalphy values than the control noodle. And based on the degree of retrogradation for the noodles containing the flour ferment, enthalpy decreased as the amount of the ferment increased, resulting in the delay effect on the retrogradation. According to textural property evaluations over a storage period, the noodles containing the flour ferment had increases in hardness and cohesiveness, and the springiness of the control group was higher than that of the noodles containing the flour ferment; however, this difference between groups gradually disappeared with increasing storage time. Finally, the noodles containing 10% flour ferment had a higher overall preference score than the control group, indicating that the addition of the flour ferment during noodle production can have a beneficial effect on the preference.

The purpose of this study was to use polymannuronic acid (polymann) obtained from the polysaccharide, component of brown seaweed, to convert wet noodles to healthier noodles. The study also investigated the effects of polymann on the quality of wet noodles. The wet noodles were prepared with composite flour containing various contents of polymann. The characteristics of the wet and cooked noodles, such as color, texture, cooking properties and sensory attributes, were evaluated. The addition of polymann did not affect the cooking weight, volume and water absorption. The turbidity of polymann noodle soup increased slightly as the amount of polymann in the noodles was increased. The L, a and b values of wet and cooked polymann noodles decreased as the amount of polymann was increased. Texture properties increased proportionally as the amount of polymann was increased. The hardness of noodles made with polymann was lower than that of control, while the springiness and adhesiveness of polymann noodles were higher than those of control. In sensory evaluations, there were no significant differences between control noodles and those containing 2% and 4% polymann. However, noodles with 2% polymann received significantly higher taste scores than the other noodles.
