This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of waxy corn noodles (WCN) made with different defatted soybean powder (DFP). The WCN was evaluated for their cooking properties (weight, water absorption, volume, and turbidity), color values, texture characteristics, and sensory characteristics. The weight, water absorption, and volume of cooked WCN increased according to DFP content, whereas they significantly decreased relative to those of control noodles. The turbidity of cooked WCN decreased with increasing DFP content. The L-value of cooked WCN decreased relative to that of control noodle, whereas a- and b-values increased. The hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness of cooked WCN increased with increasing DFP content, whereas chewiness and gumminess decreased. The texture characteristics of cooked WCN decreased compared to control noodles except for adhesiveness. Sensory evaluation indicated that the appearance, flavor, and overall acceptance of cooked WCN were better than those of control noodles. Overall, DFP can be used as an effective ingredient to improve the quality and sensory characteristics of WCN.

In order to elucidate a responsible mechanism for the development of the odor characteristics of cooked desirable flavoring materials such as crab and shrimp, shore swimming crab flesh were extracted with various solvents and resulting extracts were evaluated organoleptically after cooking. As a result, $80\%$ aqueous methanol extract (AME) was found to produce a cooked desirable flavoring odor. After dialysis of AME, outer dialyzate was fractionated by ionexchange column chromatography, and each of the fraction obtained was subjected to cooking, fellowed by organoleptic evaluation. The outer dialyzate fraction, acidic and amphoteric fraction produced a cooked crab-like odor, On the basis of the composition of $80\%$ AME, an artificial crab extract was prepared with pure chemicals. The artificial crab extract thus obtained closely resembled $80\%$ AME in respect of the cooked odor. To elucidate the role of individual components, the artificial extracts from which certain component alone or as group was omitted were subjected to organoleptic evaluation after cooking. All of neutral, acidic, basic, and sulfur containing amino acids and quarternary base compounds were involved in the development of the cooked crab-like odor. The cooked odor of artificial extract without addition of ribose was lacking in the characteristics of cooked crab odor, and phosphorus compound accelerated the development of the cooked crab-like odor.

Making jungkwa, a traditional Korean snack, is difficult and complicated. In this study, a rice cooker was used to simplify the process of making jungkwa made with ginseng. Comparing ginseng jungkwa cooked in a rice cooker with the control group cooked in a traditional way, their chewiness, browness, glossy and overall preference were similar when cooked for 160 minutes, 175 minutes, 190 minutes, 205 minutes, and 220 minutes. The moisture content of ginseng jungkwa cooked in a rice cooker decreased, while its sugar content increased with increased cooking time. Also, the ginseng jungkwa had lower lightness and higher redness and yellowness as its cooking time got longer. The ginseng jungkwa cooked for 205 minutes was most similar to the one cooked in a traditional way. In the measurement of texture, the ginseng jungkwa had higher hardness with increased cooking time, and, when cooked for 205 minutes, it was most similar to the one cooked in a traditional way in chewiness. The sensory evaluation showed that the one cooked for 205 minutes was most preferred in appearance, smell, taste, texture and overall preference. Based on these results, this study revealed that using a rice cooker can be substituted for the traditional way of making jungkwa.

This study examined physicochemical properties of rice grains and qualities of cooked white rice of the high yielding, Japonica type, specifically Druryechanbyeo and Boramchanbyeo, and of the Tongil-type, specifically Hanarumbyeo and Andabyeo. The changes of water absorption rate of rice grains, their textural properties and a sensory evaluation of the cooked rice s were analyzed. All varieties were short grain. The length and width of Tongil type rice grains larger than those of Japonica type. The water absorption of white rice grains increased rapidly until 1 hr when soaking and after that increased slightly. The water absorption of Druryechan grain was higher than that of the Boramchan. The sensory evaluation results showed that the Japonica type cooked rices had a higher value for overall quality than the Tongil type cooked rices. With regard to the textural properties of the cooked rices, the hardness of Boramchan and Hanarum varieties showed higher than that of Druyechan and Anda varieties. Adhesiveness, springiness and chewiness were not significantly different between varieties (p<0.05).

Sensory characteristics of cooked rites of one waxy variety and three nonwaxy varieties, Akibare (Japonica), Milyang 23 (J/Indica) and Milyang 30 (J/Indica) were evaluated in terms of odor, taste, appearance and texture. Sensory evaluation of cooked rites indicated that the cooked waxy rice was more watery, gloss, sticky, smooth and gummy in appearance and texture than nonwaxy cooked rites. Among the nonwaxy rites, Akibare was well balanced in all of the 12 descriptions of sensory quality. Milyang 30, generally recognized as having inferial eating quality, had the poorest quality in texture and appearance. The ratio of water addition to rice for cooking affected significantly to texture and appearance of cooked rice while the flavor remained comparatively unchanged.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of Sikhye as affected by different amount of cooked rice and malt, and by different kinds of sweeteners. In the various Sikhyes made with the different amount of cooked rice and malt, the degree of such sensory properties as color and malt odor significantly increased with the increased amount of malt. As the amount of cooked rice increased, sensory properties such as turbidity, sweetness and viscosity increased. Reducing sugar content in Sikhye was consistent with those of sensory evaluation on sweetness. Sikhyes containing aspartame, saccharin, sorbitol or sucrose at equisweet levels to Sikhyes containing 10% sucrose showed different sensory characteristics except sweetness. Sikhye sweetened with mixtures of substituted sweeteners showed increase in sweetness and differences in bitterness and astringency compared with Sikhye containing 10% sucrose.

To make of basic date for the progressive global brand of Korean rice, we compared with characteristics of Calrose and two Korean rice cultivar, Chucheongbyeo(medium-late maturing cultivar) and Odaebyeo(early-maturing cultivar). General characteristics of rice, pasting property of rice flour by Rapid visco Analyser, determination of optimal ratio of water to rice for cooking by electric and pressure cooker and eating quality(sensory evaluation) of Calrose with that of Korean rice cooked at the optimal cooking conditions were measured. One kernel length of Calrose, Chucheongbyeo and Odaebyeo were 6.00, 4.73 and 5.22 mm, respectively. Calrose showed higher viscosity(195 RVU) in all parameters than Korean rices(Chucheongbyeo 176 RVU, Odaebyeo 178 RVU), of which the values were similar. These data imply that the properties of starch of Calrose may be different from that of Korean rice. In general, it is agreed, in Korea and Japan, that the balance of hardness and stickiness of cooked rice is very important. However, stickiness and overall eating quality for cooked Calrose was significantly poorer than Korean rices. Cooked Calrose did not significantly different in hardness, stickiness and overall eating quality compared with those of Korean rices. Calrose cooked with the ratio of water to rice of 1.4 with electric cooker was less sticky than Korean rices and thus was poorer in eating quality compared with Korean counterparts. Calrose cooked with the ratio of water to rice of 1.3 with pressure cooker had the same eating quality with Korean rices.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of NaCl concentration and cooking temperature on the color and pigment characteristics of presalted ground chicken breasts. Four treatments with different salt concentrations (0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%) were prepared and stored for 7 d prior to cooking. Each sample was cooked to four endpoint temperatures ($70^{\circ}C$, $75^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, and $85^{\circ}C$). The salt concentration affected the color and pigment properties of the cooked ground chicken breasts. As the salt concentration increased, the cooking yield and residual nitrite content also increased. However, the samples with 1%, 2%, and 3% NaCl showed similar nitrosyl hemochrome and total pigment contents. Among the products containing salt, the samples with 3% NaCl showed the lowest percentage myoglobin denaturation (PMD) and the lowest CIE $a^*$ values. The cooking temperature had limited effects on the pigment properties of cooked ground chicken breasts. The oxidation-reduction potential and residual nitrite contents increased with cooking temperature, while the PMD, nitrosyl hemochrome, total pigment contents and CIE $a^*$ values were similar in the samples cooked at different temperatures. These results indicated that the addition of up to 2% salt to ground chicken breasts and storage for 7 d could cause the pink color defect of cooked products. However, the addition of 3% NaCl could reduce the redness of the cooked products.

Descriptive analysis and consumer acceptance tests were conducted with frozen (FCR), homemade (HCR), and aseptic-packaged (ACR) cooked rice products from two cultivars-IM and SD. FCR was prepared using a rapid freezing process, which may provide consumers with a quality similar to that of HCR. The intensity of the flavors of roasted, glutinous rice, rice cake, and rice starch and the textures of glutinousness, moistness, chunkiness, adhesiveness, and squishiness were all greater in the FCR as compared to the HCR and ACR (p<0.05) in IM and SD cultivars. The differences in sensory characteristics between the FCR and ACR were larger than the equivalent differences between the FCR and HCR. Overall consumer acceptance ratings for FCR in overall aspect, appearance, aroma, and texture were not significantly different compared to those for HCR (p>0.05); however, in most cases these factors showed significant differences when compared with ACR (p<0.05). From partial least square regression analysis, cooked rice was positively related to sweet, transparency, glossiness, roasted, glutinousness, chunkiness, moistness, glutinous rice, adhesiveness, rice shape, rice starch, and squishiness attributes but negatively related to raw rice, old rice, old rice aroma, a particle feeling, off-aroma, white color, scatteredness, slickness, size of cooked rice, and firmness attributes.
