Yakkong germinated for 48 h at $23^{\circ}C$(48G), which showed the highest isoflavone content, was prepared with no heat treatment(48G-NH) or with additional heat treatment entailing 20 min boiling(48G-20B) or 15 min roasting(48G-15R). After being ground, each powder was substituted for rice flour by 10, 20, or 30% in rice cookies and compare with the control(100% rice flour cookies). The rice cookies containing 20 or 30% 48G-NH showed the highest crispness in texture and the lowest spreadability. The rice cookies containing 48G-20B and 48G-15R did not show a change in spreadibility, regardless of substitution level. For the rice cookies with 48G-15R, when the substitution level increased to 30%, the crispness decreased and hardness increased. The rice cookies with 48G-20B showed the lowest crispness regardless of substitution level. In terms of color, rice cookies substituted with Yakkong powder showed lower L and higher a* values than the control, however there were no tendencies related to b* value change. In sensory testing, rice cookies substituted with YK-48G had an improved quality, especially in flavor and texture as well as in function. The most acceptable substitution level was 20% of 48G-15R.

Cotton fabrics were finished with mixture of BTCA and silicone by pad-dry-cure process to achieve better mechanical properties than those of finished with BTCA alone. The changes of mechanical properties o( finished cotton fabrics were measured with by the KES-FB System and the hand values were calculated from the data of mechanical properties. With the durable press finish with BTCA tensile, bending, shear and compression properties increased. In hand values, Stiffness Crispness and Anti-Drape Stiffness increased, and Fullness & Softness decreased. Whereas silicone treatment reduced bending and shear properties and improved tensile and compressional resilience. Thus, Stiffness Crispness and Anti-Drape Stiffness decreased, and Fullness & Softness increased. These results indicated that BTCA treatment restricts fiber/yarn mobility in the fabric structure due to crosslinking, but silicone treatment reduces inter-fiber and inter-yarn frictional forces. Therefore, finish with mixture of BTCA and silicone provided cotton fabrics with a lower Stiffness, Crispness and Anti-Drape Stiffness and a higher Fullness & Softnesss than finish with BTCA alone.

The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of dextrin on vacuum frying dried carrots. The concentrations of dextrin solution were 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and the criteria for quality evaluation were sorption characteristics, rehydration power, color and crispness differences. The sorption characteristics were evaluated by Peleg's equation. Rehydration, color and crispness were determined by rehydration percentage, colorimetry and sensory evaluation, respectively. The dextrin pretreatment of carrot resulted in the reduction of adsorption rate and the equilibrium moisture content of dried carrot at various range of relative humidities, and the adsorption rate of samples pretreated with aqueous dextrin solution at different temperatures($4^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$) were in the following decreasing order : control>10% dextrin>20% dextrin>30% dextrin. As the concentration of dextrin solution and ambient temperature increased, BET monomolecular layer moisture content decreased significantly. In addition, as the concentration of dextrin solution increased, the crispness intensity increased and the color of sample treated with 20% dextrin solution was similar to that of raw carrot.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of infusion of pectinesterase (PE) along with preheating treatment in $CaCI_2$ solution on softening Kimchi tissue. Preheating treatment showed preventive effect on softening of Kimchi tissue. Especially, the preheating in the presence of P was more effective in preserving firmness of both stem and leaf. As for of effect of PE infusion by vacuum treatment, a maximum crispness was obtained from the vacuum-treated stems in 0.05 M $CaCI_2$ solution containing PE. The crispness of all the samples decreased during fermentation and the PE-infused samples by vacuum treatment showed higher crispness than the control until the fourth day of fermentation.

The texture characteristics, crispness and brittleness, of the barley flake developed by FRI in 1980 were measured with both sensory and instrumental methods. Bend and penetration test were done to determine those characteristics instrumentally, and compared each other and with sensory evaluation. And the changes in those characteristics with various water activity were studied, and the textural critical water activity was acquired. The shelf-life was also estimated with various packaging materials. It was found that crispness could be represented as the reciprocal of deformation and brittleness as that of fracture force in the barley flake. Both crispness and brittleness decreased as water activity increased. And the results from the penetration test correlated better with those from the sensory evaluation than the bend test's. The average shelf-life of the barley flake was 43 days in PE film and 9400 days in laminated Al foil on the basis of only textural characteristics.

For the accurate interpretation and objective measurement of textural characteristics of fermented vegetables, first of all, the studies on the microstructure and chemical compositions of vegetable cell, and the changes in the textural properties of vegetables during salting, blanching and fermentation should be carried out. And the mechanical textural parameters were needed to compare with and analyze in relation to the sensory parameters. In this review, the thypical force-distance curves of fermented vegetables were obtained from the compression, cutting and puncture test. And it was showed that the compression force was a more effective textural parameter to express the hardness of fermented vegetables, and the sensory chewiness and toughness were related to the changes in cutting force. In the puncture test, the puncture force was related to the hardness and varied with the size and form of puncture probe; the changes in puncture force by small probe could express the decrease in hardness and crispness, whereas those by large probe could represent the changes in toughness. And the brittleness and crispness could be measured by the break point and the numbers of peak obtained from the force-distance curves.

Purpose: The storage life of pearl millet-based, deep fried, ready-to-eat snacks, packaged in aluminum-laminated polyethylene having a thickness of $50{\mu}m$ (with and without nitrogen) was evaluated under storage conditions of $38{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and 90% RH. Methods: The moisture content, free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value, and crispness of the snack were evaluated throughout the storage period. The moisture content, FFA, and peroxide value increased with an increase in storage period, but the increase was less in packages flushed with nitrogen gas. The crispness decreased with an increase in the storage period, for snacks both with and without nitrogen packages. However, the decrease was less in nitrogen-flushed packages. FFA and peroxide values were strongly correlated with the moisture content of the snack. The storage life of the snack was found to be 60 and 45 days in packages with and without nitrogen respectively. Conclusions: The snack's predicted storage life, for snacks with and without nitrogen packages, was determined as 294 and 254 days respectively.

We evaluated the sensory characteristics of Gangjung base obtained from various manufacturers, using a sensory descriptive analysis. Significant differences were observed for all sensory attributes of Gangjung samples with the exception of 'toothpacking'. Sample A showed high intensities for 'external color', 'external roughness', 'sweetness', 'toasted soybean powder flavor', 'crispness', 'fracturability', 'oiliness', and 'loose particles,' whereas it had low intensities for 'rice flour flavor', 'hardness', and 'toughness' compared to those of other samples. Sample B had more 'sourness', 'butyric acid flavor', 'fermented rice flavor', and 'degree of melting' but lower 'air cell size', 'fracturability', and 'flake roughness'. Sample C showed high intensities for 'expansion', 'hardness', 'crispness', and 'flake roughness', whereas sample D showed low intensities for 'expansion' and 'sourness'. These results indicate that Gangjung base samples are markedly different depending on the manufacturer.

The quality characteristics of cookies containing brown rice flour, which has a greater variety of functional components than wheat flour, were studied. The results of the pasting properties shows that the inclusion of brown rice flour to the wheat flour-mixture did not affect the pasting temperature for up to 30% inclusion. The total dietary fiber and total polyphenol content increased and color of the cookies became darker with increasing brown rice flour content. According to the results from TA on texture, the hardness decreased and the crispness increased significantly(p<0.001, p<0.05, respectively) with increasing brown rice flour content. From the acceptance test, the aroma and texture of the cookies with added brown rice flour were significantly(p<0.001) lower than those of the wheat flour cookies. However, the appearance, taste, and overall acceptance of the cookies with added brown rice flour did not differ significantly from those of the wheat flour cookies. According to the results from the sensory evaluation, the savory aroma of the cookie with 30% brown rice flour was significantly strong(p<0.001). The brown rice flavor of the cookies with brown rice flour was significantly stronger(p<0.001) than that of the wheat flour cookie, but there were no significant differences among the cookies with brown rice flour in it. The crispness of the cookies increased significantly(p<0.001) with the inclusion of brown rice flour in the mixture, especially for the mixture with 30% brown rice flour which had the highest value of crispness among the cookies. The graininess and brown color of the cookies increased significantly(p<0.001) with increasing brown rice flour content, especially for the mixture with 30% brown rice flour which had the highest values among the cookies.
