Muffins are prepared with different amounts of buckwheat powder (0~50%), and their quality characteristics are being investigated. The specific gravity is not affected by the addition of buckwheat powder (10~30%). The lightness (L value) and yellowness (b value) of muffins are decreased with increasing buckwheat amounts, whereas redness (a value) increased. No significant differences are being observed between muffins added with buckwheat (0~50%) for volume, weight, height, baking loss rate and specific volume. For textural characteristics, the cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of muffins showed no significant differences between the groups, whereas hardness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation, score of color is decreased with increasing buckwheat amounts, whereas grain, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptances are insignificant between groups. Upon the results of this study, it is assumed that the developments of food products when using buckwheat are prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.

This study was performed to investigate the qualities of jelly supplemented with purple sweet potato (C:0 g, P1:1 g, P3:3 g, P5:5 g, P7:7 g). The pH decreased (acidity increased) with the addition of purple sweet potato powder (p<0.01). The sugar content of the jelly also significantly increased when purple sweet potato was added. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of jelly increased as the addition of purple sweet potato increased. As the content of purple sweet potato increased, the L and b values decreased and the "a value" increased. In terms of textural characteristics, the addition of purple sweet potato increased hardness and springiness, while it decreased the cohesiveness. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability gave the highest score for jelly containing 5 g of purple sweet potato (P5).

Physical, textural and sensory properties of Seolgiddeok prepared with different amounts of broccoli(Brassica oleracea var. italica Plen.) powder were investigated during 3 days of storage. Moisture content decreased gradually during storage and was less in broccoli powder-amended samples. The color L value decreased significantly with increasing broccoli powder, whereas both redness and yellowness increased. Texture analyses revealed that hardness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness and fracturability of Seolgiddeok tended to decrease in proportion to the amount of broccoli powder in the formula. Seolgiddeok gelatinization was investigated using amylographing. Break down and setback were low in broccoli powder Seolgiddeok. Sensory evaluations revealed that, Seolgiddeok prepared with broccoli powder was superior in flavor, chewiness, softness to unamended samples. Seolgiddeok prepared with 3% broccoli powder showed the highest overall acceptability score. Use of broccoli powder in Seolgiddeok preparation improves sensory characteristics and delays retrogradation.

The effects of sugars and heating methods on the sugar infilteration, hardness, color and organoleptic characteristics were investigated for quality improvement of sugared chestnuts. Among the tested sugars, isomaltooligosugar was the most effective on the rate of sugar infilteration. High temperature increased the rate of sugar infilteration during sugaring process, but color and flavor were deteriorated at 9$0^{\circ}C$. The most suitable temperature for sugaring process was 7$0^{\circ}C$. The product sugared with fructooligosugar recoreded the highest score in hardness, odor and preference than any other sugars tested and increased the rate of sugar infilteration when mixed with sugar at same amount. The changes of soluble solids in chestnuts boiled with microwave oven were ranged from 18。Brix to 32。Brix, while chestnuts heated in general were from 18。Brix to 28。Brix. Chestnuts boiled with microwave heating were sugared rapidly. The hardness of boiled and sugared chestnuts was lower when treated with microwave than with general heating. Hunter's L and b value of sugared chestnut treated with microwave decreased during processing but a value somewhat increased.

Kochujang was prepared by using retrograded rice cakes (Song Pyun, Sym rice cake, Ssuk rice cake, Pat rice cake) as a source starch and the physiochemical and sensory characteristics were compared with traditional kochujang during aging for 60 days. Moisture content of all kochujang groups increased slowly but crude fat content decreased according to aging process. Changes of pH values of all kochujang reduced gradually during aging and the pH of saccharified kochujang was lowered than that of traditional one. Total reducing sugar contents in saccharified kochujang reached the maximum value at 50th day, and decreased thereafter. In contrast, the reducing sugar content in traditional kochujang was the highest at 30-day-aging. After 60 days of aging, the total contents of organic acids were 28.57 mg for P$\_$1/, 27.9 mg for P$\_$4/, 27.05 mg for P$\_$3/ 24.60 mg for P$\_$2/, and 22.30 mg for P$\_$0/. By sensory evaluation, saccharified kochujang prepared with Siru rice cake showed the highest sensory score in its appearance, flavor, texture, color, and taste.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the food habits score, nutrients intake and dietary quality with regard to coffee consumption of college students in Incheon. The data were collected with a self-reports questionnaire with a total of 190 subjects, comprised with 101 male and 89 female college students. We classified these subjects into three groups using percentile of coffee intake to assess the nutrients intake and dietary quality. The correlations among coffee intake, food habits score, nutrients intake and dietary quality were evaluated. The average coffee intake of male and female college students were 156.8 mL and 157.4 mL, respectively. The coffee preferences with respect to specialty coffee were caramel macchiato, cafe latte, americano, cafe mocha, and cappucino in male college students, and caramel macchiato, americano, cafe mocha, cafe latte, and cappucino in female college students, in preference order. The coffee intake motivation score of the high 1/3 percentile group according to coffee intake was higher than that of the low 1/3 percentile group according to coffee intake in emotion motivation and utilitarian motivation. The highest scores were 'flavor and aroma' in emotion motivation, and 'prevention of sleepness' in utilitarian motivation. The average food habits score of "I often eat the natural food" was significantly higher in the low 1/3 percentile group according to coffee intake compared with the other groups (p < 0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between coffee intake and 'I purchase the processed food after examining nutrition labels' of food habits score (r = 0.280; p < 0.01) in female college students. The energy intake of the high 1/3 percentile group according to coffee intake was significantly higher in that of the moderate 1/3 percentile group according to coffee intake in male college students (p < 0.05). Therefore, it may be necessary for college students to undergo a well-planned nutrition education regarding proper coffee intake, choice of coffee, energy intake related to coffee intake, and dietary habits.
