This study was conducted to investigate the effects of acorn ($Quercus$ autissima carruther) powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts of acorn powder (at ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to total flour quantity). Antioxidant activity was estimated based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenol content in acorn powder and cookies. To analyze quality characteristics, bulk density, pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. Loss rate, a values, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01), whereas pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing acorn powder content (p<0.01). The results of sensory evaluation (appearance, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference) demonstrate that the 3% acorn cookie group showed the highest degree of preference among all items of added acorn powder. From these results, we suggest that acorn is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chestnut inner shell powder on antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts of chestnut inner shell powder(in ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenol content in chestnut inner shell powder and cookies. For analyzing quality characteristics, bulk density and pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The spread ratio, a values, total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing chestnut inner shell powder(p<0.001), while the pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing chestnut inner shell powder content(p<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for the 3% chestnut inner shell cookie groups ranked significantly higher(p<0.01) than those of the other groups in overall preference, flavor, taste and color. From these results, we suggest that chestnut inner shell is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal conditions for preparation of cooked brown rice by blending brown rice, white rice and glutinous rice to improve the palatability. Formulations composed of brown rice (10~100%), white rice (0~90%) and glutinous rice (0~90%) were generated from an extreme-vertices of mixture experimental design, which showed ten experimental points for brown rice, with white rice and glutinous rice as the independent variables. The sensory evaluation, color, and texture profile analysis (TPA) of cooked brown rice and pasting characteristics of blending cereals flour were measured as response variables. Regression analysis showed that all responsible variables fit linear, quadratic or special cubic models (p<0.1), except for the cohesiveness of TPA. The goals of optimization of the blending ratio of brown rice, white rice and glutinous rice were given as appearance, flavor, texture and overall acceptability (lower: 5.50, target: 6.62). The optimal conditions were determined to be 34.55% brown rice, 42.71% white rice and 22.74% glutinous rice.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of cranberry powder making pan bread. Cranberry powder at the level of 1 % (CP1), 3% (CP3), and 5% (CP5) was mixed with flour to make the breads. According to mixograph, the control, CP1 and CP3 except CP5 were found to bo proper between 3 and 5 min. in tenn of peak time (min). All samples for peak value were at the level of over 60% It meant that all samples were proper to make bread. By increasing the ratio of cranberry powder, pH, dough fermentation rate, volume and specific volume were decreased, and adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness and resilience except hardness were decreased in texture profile analysis. In crumbScan analysis, the addition of cranberry powder decreased the volume and increased crumb fineness of pan bread. In sensory evaluation, CP1 and CP3 showed good preference in aspect of flavor, taste, and overall acceptance.

The methods for determining the diffusion parameters for the diffusion of d-limonene, a major volatile compound of orange juice, through a multi-layered food packaging material and predicting its absorption into the packaging material have been investigated. The packaging material used was the 1.5-mm thick multi-layered packaging material composed of high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and low density polyethylene (LDPE). Orange juice was placed in a cell where volatiles were absorbed in the sample package and kept at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr. The d-limonene absorbed in a 1.5-mm thick multi-layered food packaging material was analyzed by a solid phase micro-extraction (SPME). The absorption parameters for the absorption of d-limonene in the packaging material were determined and absorption of d-limonene into the packaging material was predicted using absorption storage data. The SPME desorption at $60^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr resulted in the most sensitive and reproducible results. The diffusion coefficients of d-limonene in the packaging material and the partition coefficient at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ were approximately $1-2{\times}10^{12}m^2$/s and 0.03, respectively. The absorption profile no earlier than 30 hr was fit well by a model derived from the Fick's law.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of muffin made with tagatose which substituted sugar. Moisture contents were measured and Texture Profile Analysis was carried out during 3 day storage. 3 types of muffin, T0 (no tagatose added, sugar was the only sweet taste source), T25 (tagatose : sugar = 25:75(w/w), and T50 (tagatose : sugar = 50:50(w/w) were prepared. As the tagatose contents increased, the Maillard reaction proceeded more, so the color of the muffin crust was darker. Moisture contents of muffins decreased during storage, up to 2 days of storage, moisture contents of T25 and T50 were higher significantly, but at the 3rd day of storage, no differences were detected among samples. In the texture profile analysis, hardness, chewiness and fracturability were higher as the tagatose contents increased. Springiness and cohesiveness did not show any differences between T0 and T25 significantly. In the sensory evaluation, T0 got the lower points on the crust color value, but the crust colors were not significantly different among samples. Other characteristics like crumb color, moistness, sweetness, flavor and overall acceptance were not different significantly. As a result, when synbiotic and low-calorie tagatose was partly added to muffin up to 50 % as sugar substitute, overall qualities of those muffins were not different with only sugar added ones, even moisture contents were higher but color was a little bit darker, so tagatose can be used on making healthy muffins successfully.

Consumer acceptance and preference tests for commercial milk were run with laboratory consumer panel. The results were summarized as follows: 1. According to result of the paired comparison preference test between milk K and each of 4 commercial milk tested a significant difference in the consumer preference was not recognized at 5 percent level 2. According to result of hedonic scale test for commercial milk, a significant difference on both treatment and panel member effect was not recognized at 5 percent level. 3. According to result of food action scale test for commercial milk, the frequency of 'I would drink this every opportunity I had' was the highest as 38 percent. 4. According to the rank test for the determination of the preference for milk flavor on the temperature of sample, the frequency of sampling at $20^{\circ}C$ was the highest. 5. A significant difference on the flavor of milk was recognized among 5 samples of commercial milk by both difference test and profile test as reported in the previous paper (Korean J. Food Sci. Technol. 12(3), 150 and 158(1980)), but not by rank test, preference test and hedonic scale test. This fact suggests that rank test, preference test and hedonic scale test are influenced by the difference on the preference of the panel members and on the basis of quality, etc.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggeng sweetened with various amounts of trehalose (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 % of trehalose) and their changes during storage times. The moisture content, color value, $^{\circ}Brix$, pH, texture profile, QDA and acceptance for samples were tested. As a result of the mechanical tests, moisture content and pH were increased while hardness were decreased with increased trehalose content. Also, moistness, gloss and after taste were increased with increased trehalose in the sensory attribute difference test. Acceptance test showed Yanggeng with 60% trehalose and 40% sucrose obtained the highest scores on flavor, taste and overall acceptability. During storage in refrigerator, Yanggeng sweetened with higher % of trehalose showed significantly higher moisture content, and lower syneresis and hardness than the control sweetened with only sucrose. The results of the sensory test showed that 60% trehalose Yanggeng was the highest in flavor, after taste, and overall acceptability.

The effect of gamma irradiation on volatile components of Korean dried ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) was studied and compared with non-irradiated sample. Volatile compounds from non- and irradiated samples were extracted using simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC/MS). A total of 83 and 71 compounds were identified and quantified from non-and irradiated dried ginger at dose of 10 kGy. Identified components were hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones and miscellaneous compounds. The terpenoid compounds in volatile flavor compounds identified from non and irradiatied dried ginger were $98.27\%\;and\;98.12\%$, respectively. $\alpha$ -zingiberene,$\beta$-sesquiphelland reno, geranial, (Z,E) $\alpha$ -farnesene, $\beta$ -phellandene were detected as major volatile compounds of two experimental sample. The amount of volatile components in the samples was changed by irradiation but the profile of volatiles in non- and irradiated dried ginger were the same.
