The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of proteolytic enzymes in Letinus edodes powder which has the ratio of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 8% on the tenderness and sensory characteristics of beef. Beef eye of rounds were marinated in distilled water (Control), 2% L. edodes (L2), 4% L. edodes (L4), and 8% L. edodes (L8). As a result, the enzyme activities have shown to have higher activity (p<0.001) as the amount of freeze-dried Letinus edodes powder increased. The pH and color of the meat were slightly different between the C (control) group and the sample groups. The cooking loss showed the lowest value of control (p<0.01), and water holding capacity showed the highest value of L8. Furthermore, the sample groups exhibited lower shear force values compared with the control (p<0.05). L4 and L8 showed muscle proteolytic effects compared with the control. In case of sensory evaluation, L4 showed significantly higher values in terms of color (p<0.05), flavor (p<0.01), taste (p<0.01), tenderness (p<0.01), juiciness (p<0.01), and overall acceptance (p<0.01). Based on the results, this study conclude that adding of 4% around freeze-dried Letinus edodes powder may be the best optimization ratio for sensory character and tenderization of the beef.

This study was conducted to compare the quality and sensory characteristics of commercial kimchi containing different sodium contents. The salinity at day 1 post-manufacture in regular kimchi was 1.99%, while it was 1.56% in lowsodium kimchi, thus showing a 21.6% reduction in sodium content. The pH of low-sodium kimchi was much lower than that of regular kimchi and the pH was dramatically decreased in both samples after 5 days of storage. The total acidity of low-sodium kimchi was higher than that of the regular kimchi, and increased during the storage period. The number of lactic acid bacteria was maximum at day 5 but slightly decreased after 10 days of storage. The sensory evaluation panels preferred low-sodium kimchi and realized that the saltiness of low-sodium kimchi was less than that of the regular kind. Based on these results, the quality characteristics of low-sodium kimchi were competitive to those of regular kimchi.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of addition of dandelion leaf, root and whole part extract on the quality and sensory characteristics of ground pork meat. Four types of ground pork were evaluated: 10% ice water added (control), 10% dandelion leaf extract added (DL), 10% dandelion root extract added (DR), and dandelion whole part extract added (DW). There was no significant difference in $L^*$, $b^*$, VBN content, moisture, protein, fat and ash of raw and cooked ground pork, cooking yield, water holding capacity, moisture retention, fat retention, reduction in diameter, total free amino acid, taste, texture, juiciness, or overall acceptability. The total polyphenol content of the control, DL, DR, and DW groups were 2.07, 6.49, 3.85 and 5.77 mg/100 g, respectively. Total phenol content of DL was significantly higher than those of the other samples. The pH was highest in the control. The TBARS values of the control, DL, DR and DW were 0.52, 0.20, 0.31, and 0.24 mg MA/kg, respectively, and TBARS values of the control were significantly higher than those of the other samples. Flavor was highest in DL. We suggest that dandelion leaf extracts may be a useful ingredient in ground pork to improve color, flavor, and antioxidant potential.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of red wine of pork patties during frozen storage on their water holding capacity, thawing loss, cooking loss, diameter change, thickness change, surface color, pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) and TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). Four types of pork patty were prepared; pork patty without red wine (control), and with the addition of 1%, 3% and 5% red wine (RWP-1, 3 -and t respectively). The pork patties were stored for 5 months at $-20^{\circ}C$. The water holding capacity was significantly decreased during frozen storage, which was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). The thawing loss and cooking loss were significantly increased during frozen storage, which also was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the diameter and thickness changes during frozen storage, which was not influenced by the addition of red wine (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the $L^*\;and\;b^*$ values, but the a value was significantly decreased during frozen storage. The $L^*,\;a^*\;and\;b^*$ values of the pork patties containing red wine were lower than those of the control patties (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the pH and VBN content during the frozen storage period or on the addition of red wine to the patties. The TBARS value of the pork patties tended to increased with increasing in frozen storage period, but were decreased with increasing amount of red wine addition (p<0.05).

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of lipid type on the physicochemical properties and sensory score of pork patties. The samples consisted of pork patties containing 20% pork fat (PP), 20% olive oil (OP), and 20% soybean oil (SP). The surface color, water holding capacity, increased rate in thickness, decreased rate in diameter, rheological properties, pH, VBN content and TBARS value were determined for the pork patties as the physicochemical properties: the sensory scores were also evaluated. The $L^*$ value for PP was the highest, and the lowest for OP among the samples (p<0.05). For the $a^*$ value OP was the highest among the samples, and the $b^*$ value of OP was lower than that of the PP (p<0.05). The water holding capacity and increased rate of thickness were higher for PP than for OP and SP (p<0.05). The cooking loss and decreased rate of diameter of PP were lower than those of OP and SP (p<0.05). The hardness and springiness of OP and SP were higher than those of PP, and SP had the highest chewiness among the samples (p<0.05). However, cohesiveness and gumminess were not different among the samples. The pH of SP was the highest among the samples, and the TBARS value of OP was lowest (p<0.05). The VBN contents were not different among the samples. The amounts of raw color for OP and SP were higher than that of PP (p<0.05). The raw aroma was not different among the samples. Also, roasted aroma and taste were not different among the samples, but the tenderness, juiciness, and palatability of SP were the highest among the samples (p<0.05).

We examined the physicochemical characteristics of radish kimchi supplemented with either 10% boneless or boned sliced gizzard shad (BLGS and BGS, respectively) and compared them to those of untreated kimchi during an eight-week fermentation period. BLGS- and BGS-containing kimchi showed higher acidity, amino nitrogen, and Lactobacillus levels than control kimchi. Furthermore, BGS-containing kimchi showed higher acidity, amino nitrogen, and Lactobacillus levels, and lower reducing sugar contents than BLGS at the optimum- and over-ripened stage. Higher amino nitrogen serves as a good medium for microorganism growth, which produce organic acids, consequently decreasing the reducing sugar, pH levels and increasing the acidity. The preference test showed that the control kimchi was the most preferred at the unripened stage, while the BLGS- and BGS-supplemented kimchi samples in the ripened and over-ripened stages showed similar preferences. In conclusion, our results indicate that gizzard shad-supplemented kimchi shows positive health characteristics, such as low salinity, high amino nitrogen and Lactobacillus levels.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of dropwort powder. According to the results, the $^{\circ}Brix$ value, pH, and moisture contents of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of dropwort powder. The results of color measurement analysis reveal tha t L value, a value, and b value of the groups with dropwort powder werelower than those of the control group. Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness for yanggaeng showed that 1~4% of substituted sample groups were higher than those of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 24.20%, whereas groups with the added dropwort powder ranged from 33.56~58.80%. As dropwort powder increased, antioxidative activity also increased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 1% and 2% of dropwort powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 2% dropwort powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of jelly containing peach powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. The feasibility of incorporating peach powder as a value-added food ingredient, using a model food system of jelly, was investigated. Peach powder was incorporated into jelly at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% levels. To analyze quality characteristics, pH of the jelly, spread factor, moisture content, color(L, a, b), hardness, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory properties were measured. Qualities, such as pH content, color, hardness, and consumer preferences were determined. Lightness decreased, but redness and yellowness increased significantly (p<0.001). The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of the jelly increased as the concentrations of peach powder increased. Lastly, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest level of incorporation (15%) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. The jelly with 15% peach powder is recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of peach powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.
