Black soybeans were gamma-irradiated at dost levels of 0, 2., 5, 10 and 20 kGy, and stored at room temperature for the experiments associated with cooking quality. The degree of cooking of soybeans in boiling water at 98-10$0^{\circ}C$ has been determined by measuring the maximum cutting force of cotyledon. The cutting force to reach a complete cooking was about 120~130g/g. Irradiation at 2.5~20kGy caused the reduction of cooking time in black soybeans by 30~60% compared to the nonirradiated control, and the cooking rate constant of the irradiated samples was higher than that fo the nonirradiated control sample. These results were similarly found in the stored samples for one year at room temperature after irradiation. Color characteristics of cooked samples showed no significant difference between the nonirradiated control and 5 kGy-irradiated sample. After complete cooking of black soybeans, there were not significant in the organoleptic qualities between the nonirradiated and irradiated samples.

The use of high amylose maize varieties significantly affected the alkaline-cooking process and characteristics of alkaline-processed food products, such as masa and tortilla chips. High amylose maize varieties had softer endosperm textures with move tightly attached pericarps than normal maize. Masa prepared from high amylose mutant maize was less cohesive than that of normal maize due to insufficient dispersion of amylopectin and excessive retrogradation of starches. Tortilla chips prepared from amylose-extender dull (ae du), amylomaize V, and Ⅶ had slightly increased oil absorption, while tortilla chips from dull (du) and amylose-extender sugary-2 (ae su-2) had oil contents similar to that of control chips. Increased oil absorption of the tortilla chips was due to their increased surface area. Tortilla chips produced from high amylose mutant maize had darker color than control chips, presumably due to the pigmented pericarp tissues, higher levels of reducing sugars, and phenolic compounds present in the kernel.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sensory effects of different culinary methods such as electric pan cooking and charcoal roasting on gamma irradiated ready-to-eat chicken at 10 kGy. Evlauation of sensory properties were measured by estimating the organoleptic characteristics and physicochemical properties (TBARS, hardness and color different matters). The results showed that gamma irradiation after charcoal-roasting could more effectively moderate the decrease of sensory qualities and reduce off-flavor of ready-to-eat chicken than gamma irradiation after following electric pan cooking. These results suggest that gamma irradiation after charcoal broiling can be an effective culinary method for the preparation of ready-to-eat chicken.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sous-vide cooking temperature on the triceps brachii of black goats. Triceps brachii of black goats (12 months) were sous-vide cooked at 55℃, 60℃, and 65℃. The samples were examined for color, scanning electron microscope photographs, sarcomere length, fiber cross-sectional area, cooking yield, shear force, sensory evaluation, and aromatic profile. The results showed that CIE a^*, CIE b^*, and chroma increased with increasing sous-vide cooking temperature. However, the cooking yield significantly decreased with increasing sous-vide cooking temperature, and the shear forces of the 60℃ and 65℃ samples showed no significant differences. For sensory evaluation, the 60℃ sample showed the highest scores for flavor, texture, and off-flavor. Furthermore, the 60℃ sample showed the significantly lowest value of octadienone (aroma characteristics of metallic) intensity (p<0.05). Therefore, sous-vide cooking of triceps brachii of black goats at 60℃ is effective in reducing off-flavor and improving tenderness.

In this study, the quality characteristics of noodles containing different amounts of germinated black quinoa were investigated. The powder of black quinoa with the highest antioxidative activation was selected; and composite flour was prepared with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of germinated black quinoa powder to produce the noodles. We evaluated the quality and sensory characteristics of the noodles, including pH, salinity, water absorption rate, volumetric expansion rate, turbidity, chromaticity, extensibility, and texture. With regards to the quality characteristics of noodles with added germinated black quinoa, the pH and salinity decreased with increasing percentage of added germinated black quinoa (p<0.001). Increasing the percentage of added germinated black quinoa resulted in decreased water absorption (p<0.01) and volumetric expansion rates and increased turbidity of the cooked noodles (p<0.001). In terms of the chromaticity, L and b values decreased and a value increased with the increasing percentage of added germinated black quinoa (p<0.001). For the texture, hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.01), springiness (p<0.01), chewiness (p<0.001), gumminess (p<0.001), and cohesiveness (p<0.05) decreased as the percentage of added germinated black quinoa increased; while extensibility (p<0.001) increased. Consumer testing results indicated that the noodles with 15% of added germinated black quinoa showed the best results. Collectively, the evaluation of quality characteristics and consumer acceptability indicated that adding 15% of germinated black quinoa to produce noodles is optimal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of noodles added with red lentil powder (RLP). Noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 15, 30, and 45% powder to flour of the basic formulation. RLP noodles were evaluated for their cooking properties (weight, water absorption, volume, and turbidity), color values, texture characteristics, sensory characteristics, and antioxidant activities. The weight, water absorption, and volume of cooked RLP noodles increased according to RLP content. The turbidity values of cooking water increased according to RLP content. The L value of RLP noodles decreased with increasing amounts of RLP, whereas a and b values increased with increasing amounts of RLP. The texture characteristics of RLP noodles decreased compared to those of control noodles except for adhesiveness. Antioxidative activities of RLP noodles significantly increased with increasing RLP content (P<0.05). The sensory preference test revealed that RLP 30% noodles showed the highest scores for smell, taste, chewiness, and overall preferences. It is suggested that RLP 30% noodles could be substituted for wheat flour to improve noodle quality.

This study aims to compare the chemical composition, quality, and muscle fiber characteristics of cull sows and commercial pigs, investigating the effect of changes in muscle fiber characteristics on pork quality. The proximate composition, color, pH, water-holding capacity (drip loss and cooking loss), protein solubility, total collagen content, and muscle fiber characteristics of cull sows (n=20) and commercial pigs (n=20) pork were compared. No significant differences were found between cull sows and commercial pigs in terms of proximate composition, drip loss, protein solubility, or total collagen content of their meat (p<0.05). However, cull sow pork exhibited a red color and a higher pH (p<0.05). This appears to be the result of changes in muscle fiber number and area composition (p<0.05). Cull sow meat also displayed better water-holding capacity as evident in a smaller cooking loss (p<0.05), which may be related to an increase in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (p<0.05). In conclusion, muscle fiber composition influences the pork quality; cull sow pork retains more moisture when cooked, resulting in minimal physical loss during processing and can offer more processing suitability.

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 investigated the quality of noodles containing different amounts of collagen powder. Noodles were prepared at ratios of 1, 3, 5 and 7% collagen power based on flour weight. The water binding capacity of the collagen powder was higher than that of flour. The rate of weight increase and volume increase of the noodles as well as the pH and turbidity of the soups were significantly increased with increasing amounts of collagen powder. The noodles showed decreased L and a values, and increased b values with increasing collagen powder in the flour composite. Hardness, springiness and chewiness of cooked noodles increased significantly with the increase in collagen powder content. cohesiveness and brittleness decreased with increasing amounts of added collagen powder. DPPH radical scavenging activity was improved significantly the addition of the collagen powder. Finally sensory evaluation results indicated that the noodles containing 1, 3% collagen powder had higher quality as compared to the other samples. Overall the results suggest that collagen powder is effective for improving the appearance and texture of noodles.

The optimum level of fresh granulated low-calcium (0.2%) skim milk co-precipitate, as fat substitute in low-fat ground pork patties was determined on the basis of physico-chemical, cooking and sensory properties. Low-fat ground pork patties (<10% total fat), formulated with 15 per cent water, 4 per cent added fat, 1.5 per cent salt and 4-10 per cent milk co-precipitate, were evaluated for proximate composition, cooking characteristics and compared with control patties with 15 % added fat. The moisture and protein content of raw and cooked low-fat patties were significantly (p<0.05) higher than control. The incorporation of milk co-precipitate in low-fat patties improved cooking yield, fat and moisture retention and reduced shrinkage. The sensory properties of low-fat patties were comparable with control patties. The overall acceptability of low-fat patties formulated with 7% milk co-precipitate was significantly (p<0.05) higher than patties with 10% level and non-significantly (p<0.05) higher than low-fat patties containing 4% milk co-precipitate and control. Instrumental Texture Profiles of developed low-fat patties and control patties were comparable with slight increases in hardness and gumminess of the low-fat product. The developed low-fat ground pork patties (7% milk co-precipitate) had lower TBA values, better microbiological and sensory refrigerated storage stability than high-fat control patties packaged in air permeable films for 21 days.
