This study was carried out to investigate the effects of refined, solar, and bamboo salt on the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of cured pork loin. Moisture, protein, fat, and ash content, lightness, yellowness, cooking yield, and color, juiciness, and tenderness of sensory properties on curing pork loin exhibited no significant differences regardless of the nature of salts. The pH of raw and cooked cured pork loin with added bamboo salt was higher that of other salt treatments. However, the cooking loss, and Warner-Bratzler shear force of cured pork loin with added refined salt was lower than those of solar and bamboo salt pork loins cured. The flavor and overall acceptability scores of treatments with refined salt was higher than those of solar and bamboo salt treatments. The unique flavor of bamboo salt can render it as a functional material for marinating meat products. In addition, the results of this study reveal potential use of bamboo salt in meat curing.

The effects of thyme and rosemary on the quality characteristics of sausages during cold storage were investigated. Sausages were prepared with thyme and rosemary powder (1 and 2%) and stored for 6 weeks at 10℃. The pH was significantly decreased in sausages by addition of thyme and rosemary compared to that observed in the control before and after storage. At 4 weeks of storage, the residual nitrite content was decreased by thyme and rosemary compared to the control. Lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) were increased during storage, whereas redness (a*) and whiteness (W) were decreased before and after storage by addition of thyme and rosemary. The amount of TPC and lactic acid bacteria was lower at the end of storage in sausage containing thyme and rosemary. The 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity of sausages was increased by addition of thyme and rosemary compared to that in the control before and after storage. In particular, T2 (0.2% thyme addition) showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging capacity during storage. In a sensory evaluation, flavor and overall acceptability were lower in sausages containing thyme and rosemary than in the control. However, at the end of storage (6 wk), aroma, flavor and overall acceptability were not significantly different among the sausage samples.

Preparative conditions and characteristics of six-vegetable and fruit juice were studied for the effects of mixing ratio, heat treatment and addition of sugar, salt and organic acid. The vegetables and fruit used were carrot(Ct), cabbage(Cg), pear(Pr), cucumber(Cr), celery(Cy) and dongchimi(Di). From the sensory results of mixing ratio of three of binary mixtures of Cg-Pr(1:3):Ct-Di(1:4):Cr-Cy(3:1), two ratios of 5.0:2.5:2.5(V-6A) and 6.0:2.0:2.0(V-6B) were suggested optimal for six-vegetable and fruit juice. Addition of 2% sucrose and 0.3% NaCl improved the preference significantly. The pH 4.0 for V-6A and pH 3.5 for V-6B were more prefered when pH was adjusted by citric acid. Heating the juice at $100^{\circ}C$ for 100 minutes slightly decreased pH and increased the acidity. Total solids and viscosity were also decreased by heating. All of those changes were more significant in V-6B than V-6A, probably due to lower pH. Heating the juice resulted in a slight decrease in L value and an increase in a and b values. Heating at $100^{\circ}C$ caused an increase in moldy flavor and a decrease in fresh vegetable flavor while heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes changed them little.

This study was conducted to compare the quality of Korean and imported wine through sensory evaluation and to determined the harmony between wine and foods. The physiochemical characteristics, such as the sugar content, total acidity, pH and color values of Korean and imported wine were also measured. Three white wines made in Korean (WWK), Germany (WWG) and U.S.A (WWU), and three red wines made in Korean (RWK), France (RWF) and Chile (RWC), were used for testing. In the result of sensory evaluation, the white wine made in Germany (WWG) was the most preferred in flavor, taste and overall preference, and the red wine made in France (RWF) was the most preferred in appearance, flavor, taste and overall preference. The overall preference of wine was positively correlated with the total balance in the white wine (r=0.66) and in red wine (r=0.81). In regards to the harmony of wines with foods, the white wine made in Korean (WWK) was suitable for sirloin steak, the WWG for codfish steak and salad and the white wine made in the U.S.A (WWU) for sandwiches. The red wine made in Korean (RWK) was significantly harmonious with salad, the France red wine (RWF) with sirloin steak and in the red wine made in Chile (RWC) with sandwiches. The L and b-values of white wine were the highest in WWG. the L-values of red wine were the highest in RWK, and the a-values of red wine were the highest in RWC and RWF. The WWU was the highest in sugar content among the white wines $10.83^{\circ}$ Brix and the RWC ($8.32^{\circ}$ Brix) was the highest among the red wines. Total acidity was higher in WWU (0.8) and in RWF (0.45) and thy pH values were the highest in WWK (2.82) and RWK (3.35).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of rosemary on the quality characteristics of tomato sauce during storage period(60days). As storage time went by, analysis of color differences of tomato sauce showed that "L", "a", "b"-value of tomato sauce less decreased with more herbs added, but there were no significant differences. As storage time went by, the pH ranged between 4.10-4.25, the sweetness between $10.50-9.67^{\circ}Brix$, and the salinity between 0.90~1.56 among all additions. Also, the more herbs were added, the more viscosity increased. The reducing sugar content ranged between 38.87-55.38, and its highest was shown in the sample with 0% of rosemary during the storage period. The sensory evaluation was performed with scoring tests for color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, viscosity, and overall acceptability by 15 professional panelists. The result showed that the tomato sauce with 1% rosemary was the best in the color, flavor, taste, aftertaste, and overall acceptability. From the above results, the study suggests that the addition of 1% fresh rosemary to tomato sauce is recommended for commercial use.

Brown sauce is very frequently used for western meat dishes, and this study aims to develop brown sauce for Asians and Koreans by adding jujube concentrate which has natural sugar and is used in Chinese medicine. The ingredients and sensory characteristics of brown sauce added with jujube concentrate were examined and the results are as follows. First, the moisture content increased with increased amount of jujube concentrate added, while the pH decreased. In the results of the sensory evaluation, the sample added with 5% jujube concentrate had the highest score, and the one added with 9% jujube concentrate had the lowest score in color. In the flavor evaluation, the sample added with 5% jujube concentrate had the highest score, and the one added with 9% jujube concentrate had the lowest score. In overall acceptability, the sample added with 5% jujube concentrate had the highest score, and the scores were high in order of 3%, 7%, and 9% concentrates when the samples were heated for 16 hours. Also, when making brown sauce made with beef leg bones, their ingredients continued to flow out even heated for more than 10 hours. Therefore, it was considered that more delicious and healthier sauce could be made by adding jujubes when making beef leg bone brown sauce. Based on these results, even though brown sauce originated from western foods, it can be used to Koreans' taste by adding Korean ingredients. Moreover, more recipes can be made from the brown sauce added with jujube concentrate for more Asians including Koreans to enjoy.
