Recently, the HACCP(Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system has been emphasized in food processing industries throughout the world. However, the system has, as yet, not been applied very well to domestic food industries. Due to the increase in the consumption of bakery products, more studies are required on the application of HACCP to establish the system in small-scale bakeries. This study was designed to provide basic data for setting management standards for HACCP, based on microbiological hazard evaluations of bakery products. Red bean paste filled breads, custard cream filled breads and cakes covered with fresh whipping cream were collected, and microbiological evaluations conducted on the raw materials, the manufacturing processes and potential hazards. The result showed the presence of coliforms in fresh cream of cakes and the soybean paste of soybean paste breads at levels as high as 105 CFU/g on the hazard analysis of the raw materials. Moreover, the general levels of bacteria and coliforms were over those of the standards during the intermediate fermentation and molding processes. Furthermore, high levels of coliforms were detected on the hands of the salesmen and bakers themselves. This suggests that the CCPs (Critical Control Points), such as fresh cream and red bean paste manufacturing process desperately require better management. There is also a requirement for education relating to personal hygiene for the production of hygienic bakery products and for the publics health.

When Kimchi is cooked, it is very import to find an appropriate level for the salt content of the cabbage to makes the best tasting Kimchi. Therefore, in this article, attempts were made to find the best salted cabbage condition using difference salt solution concentration, temperatures and fermentation periods. In the experiments with the difference of the salt solutions, 10 and 15%, the salted cabbages were packed in polyethylene bags, and incubated at 10, 15, 20 and 25$^{\circ}C$ for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 hrs. As a result, the best tasting Kimchi, in terms of texture characteristic, were found with storage times of 10 and 6-8 hrs, with salt solution concentrations of 10 and 15%, respectively, both of these at 25$^{\circ}C$. The best conditions, in terms of the kimchi taste characteristics, where 6-10 hrs, with the salt solution concentrations of 10 & 15%. With storage conditions of 10 hrs and a salt solution concentraction of 10%, and 6-8 hrs and a salt solution concentration of 15%, both at 25$^{\circ}C$, the texture characteristics were fresh. clear and coot. Also, the points of the appropriate salt content differ with temperature. Therefore, the appropriate conditions for the salting time, storage temperature and salt solution concentrations will make the best tasting, most nutritious Kimchi, in the least time and most economically.

A curd yogurt was prepared from egg white powder (EWP) and casein added with sugars (glucose, fructose, lactose). The effects of sugar addition on acid production and growth of Lactobacillus were studied. The effects of sugar addition on sensory property and volatile aroma compounds were also studied. Acid production by L. acidophilus in EWP 2％ (W/V), casein 3％ (w/v) and sugar 0.5,1 or 2％ W/V) was lower than that of L. acidophilus in milk (control). Acid production in sample added with glucose or fructose of 1％ or 2% (W/V) was higher than that of 0.5% (W/V), while acid production in lactose added sample was not affected with the concentration of lactose. Number of viable cells of L. acidophilus at 24 hr in milk, glucose added sample, fructose added sample and lactose added sample was 3.6${\times}$10/Sup 9/, 5.6${\times}$10$\^$8/, 6.0${\times}$10$\^$8/,and 3.2${\times}$10$\^$7/, respectively. Through 30hr fermentation, acid production and number of viable cells of L. acidophilus in milk were higher than those of sugar added samples. Sensory property of fructose added sample was slightly better than that of milk yogurt (reference), while that of lactose added sample was significantly inferior. Though the composition of volatile aroma compounds was slightly different according to sample, gas chromatographic analysis detected acetone, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin in samples fermented by L. acidophilus.

The physiological and sensory properties of breads, prepared with wheat flour substituted with various herbs, were evaluated. The specific gravities and maximum heights of the breads increased when the wheat flour was supplemented with 1% rosemary, lemon balm or lavender, and with 3% rosemary, but not with 3% lemon balm or lavender. The fermentation and cooling losses of the breads with added herbs were smaller than those of the control, but there was no significant difference in the baking loss. The lightness of the breads decreased with increases in the herb contents. In the texture measurements for the breads, the hardness decreased slightly on the addition of 1% of the herb powders, but increased on the addition of 3% of the herb powders. As for the results of the sensory evaluation, the overall acceptances of the breads with 3% added herbs were higher than those of the control and 1% added herb breads. The addition of herbs to the breads inhibited the growth on fungi, and the more herbs substituted, the higher the degrees of this inhibition. The moisture contents were slightly increased, and the staling rates during storage at 25 decreased, in breads with added herbs. These results suggest that the shelf-lives of the breads were extended by the addition of herbs.

This study was conducted to increase the value of Aster glehni as a useful food resource. The Hunter L, a and b Values of Aster glehni leaves Were 34.23${\pm}$2.80, -10.59${\pm}$1.80 and 13.29${\pm}$2.51, respectively. The Shearing force and contents of tannin and dietary fiber were 4701.2g, 100.9ppm and 37.1％, respectively. The minerals identified in Aster glehni were Ca (6.93mg/kg), K (45.36mg/kg), Mg (1.70mg/kg), Fe (0.36mg/kg) and Na (1.26mg/kg). Aster glehni Kimchi was packed in polyethylene film (200g) and fermented at 20 and 4$^{\circ}C$. With regards to the color changes, the Aster glehni Kimchi fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ showed greater increases in the Hunter L, a and b values than a 4$^{\circ}C$. The pH of the Kimchi decreased and acidity increased with storage time at both temperatures. The ascorbic acid contents decreased sharply with storage time and by about 85％ at 20$^{\circ}C$ after 5 days, and 73％ at 4$^{\circ}C$ after 30 days. The reducing sugar content also decreased with storage time at both 20 and 4$^{\circ}C$. The results of the sensory evaluation showed the optimum ripening times of the Aster glehni Kimchi to be 1∼3 days at 20$^{\circ}C$ and less than 20 days at 4$^{\circ}C$.

higher. The Hunter color test showed lower L values with higher amounts of added JP to the Jeung-Pyun. In the sensory test. the 7 % added group had the strongest color according to the texture; the highest cohesiveness was shown in the 5 % added group, and the highest springiness was shown by the 3% added group, but none of these showed any significant differences. As for flavor, the more JP added the higher the stale grain flavor and bitterness. In the result of the overall acceptability test, the stale grain flavor of the 5% added group showed the highest values for the favorite texture and flavor. From the results of this experiment, when making stale grain flavored Jeung-Pyun, the 3 and 5% added groups were the optimum concentrations for the observed improvements in the quality. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of improving the quality characteristics of Jeung-Pyun, by the addition of Paecilomyces japonica powder (JP). Regarding the volume of the Jeung-Pyun fermentation, with respect to the different amounts of JP added, the groups containing JP showed increased volumes, and as for the pH. the group containing 5% showed the lowest value. Regarding the moisture content, the groups containing JP showed lower moisture contents than the control group. Regarding the amino acid content, the control group showed a higher amino acid content than those of the JP containing groups, and contained an even amount of essential amino acids. and Leucine, Phenylalanine and Arginine were especially.

In this study, kimchi containing Styela clava (Korean name: miduduk) was prepared, and the quality of the prepared kimchi was evaluated during 4 weeks of fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. S. clava was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 1, 2, and 3%(w/w). The quality characteristics of the kimchi were determined by measuring pH, titratable acidity, salinity, color, and microbial amounts. All kimchi evidenced a rapid decrease in pH until 2 weeks, and then a gradual decline thereafter. Titratable acidity increased gradually until 2 weeks, then sharply increased thereafter. Salinity increased until 3 weeks. We noted only slight overall color differences between the kimchi samples. Total microbial and lactic acid bacterial counts achieved maximum levels at 3 weeks, and the kimchi to which 1 and 2% S. clava was added evidenced values higher than that of the controls. In our sensory evaluations, the kimchi to which 2% S. clava was added was scored highest in terms of color, flavor, and overall acceptance.

Casein is considered to be the main source of protein in milk; therefore, many studies have been conducted to identify casein-derived bioactive peptides and their physiological effects. Casein is inactive within the parent protein but can be liberated by various proteases and enzymatic hydrolysis during microbial fermentation and gastrointestinal digestion. Once absorbed, casein exhibits different bioavailabilities in the body. Specifically, casein-derived peptides function as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in the cardiovascular system; thus, they are expected to reduce and prevent hypertension. Additionally, casein-derived peptides behave as opioid-like peptides in the nervous system, which impacts relaxation. These peptides are also expected to modulate various aspects of immune functions. Finally, caseinophosphopeptide (CPP) and glycomacropeptide (GMP) may exhibit a number of nutritional effects such as the absorption of calcium, iron or zinc. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate casein-derived peptides due to their multifunctional properties and the results of these studies have contributed to the development of a wide variety of functional dairy products. The purpose of this paper was to review the generation of bioactive peptides, their absorption and metabolism, and their specific bioactive effects.

Twenty one strains strongly producing protease were isolated from Korean traditional Cheonggukjang. Eight strains selected by sensory evaluation on Cheonggukjang prepared with isolated strains were identified with based on biochemical properties a and 16S rDNA sequencing. Identified strains were Bacillus subtilis MB4, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens A1, A2, B1, MC1, SB2, SC1, and SD1. Protease activities, important strain selection factor, were higher in Cheongjukjang prepared with B. subtilis MB4 (179.6 Unit) and B. amyloliquefaciens SB2 (201.9 Unit) than commercial traditional Cheonggukjang (97.9 Unit). Sensory evaluation revealed Cheonggukjang prepared with B. subtilis MB4 had flavor very similar to commercial traditional Cheonggukjang. Cheonggukjang prepared with B. suhtilis MB4 (0.0006 Pa s) and commercial traditional Cheonggukjang (0.0002 Pa s) revealed lower viscosities than those of Cheonggukjang prepared with B. amyloliquefaciens SB2, MC1, B1, A1, SD1, A2, and SC1 (0.006 to 0.008 Pa s at 1001/s. Results show Cheonggukjang could be prepared using single strain of B. subtilis MB4, maintaining high protease activity and very similar sensory and viscosity qualities with those of commercial traditional Cheonggukjang.
