The objectives of this study were to investigate the quality characteristic of the nutrition bar with various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20%) of defatted ginseng seed meal(DGSM). Specific gravity and pH of bar batters were lower in bars containing DGSM. Specific volume, loss rate and leavening rate of bars were decreased as DGSM increased. In color of bar crust and crumb, the L and bcolor values decreased according to the level of DGSM added, whereas the a color valuesand ${\triangle}$ increased. The bars with 5, 10 and 20% DGSM had significantly higher hardness value than control bar (p < 0.05). The result of sensory evaluation showed that intensity scores for color, flavor, taste, after taste and texture were highest for the nutrition bar substituted with 20% DGSM. The nutrition bar with 10% DGSM attained the highest overall acceptability score. Results indicated that optimal concentration of DGSM into the nutrition bar was 10%.

The processing conditions and quality of sardine surimi were examined: Raw sardine meat was separated, washed in 0.2% $NaHCO_3$ and 0.15% NaCl solution, and then dewatered by centrifuge. The dewatered sardine meat was chopped, mixed with 20% emulsion curd (soybean protein : water : refined sardine oil=1:5:2.6), 4% sorbitol, 4% sucrose, 0.2% polyphosphate and 0.1% sodium erythorbate by stone mortar. The mixed sardine meat was frozen with contact freezer, packed in carton box and then stored at $-25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The moisture, crude protein and lipid contents of the sardine surimi product was 73.3%, 15.0% and 6.9%, respectively. Fatty acid composition of product consisted of 28.8% of saturates, 24.3% of monoenes and 47.7% of polyenes and the major fatty acids were 16:0, 20:5, 18:1, 22:6 and 16:1. The results of changes in POV, TBA value, fatty acids, texture and sensory score of products during frozen storage showed that lipid oxidation and freeze denaturation of product could be retarded, and flavor enhanced by addition 20% emulsion curd and 0.1% sodium erythorbate. In an attempt to apply sardine surimi in producing surimi-based product, it was concluded that pollack surimi could be substituted with sardine surimi up to 40% without showing any significant changes in texture and taste of surimi-based product.

In order to develop low salt fermented hen clam sauce with high stability, the effects of citric acid pretreatment and fermentation temperature were examined. The VBN contents of surf clam sauce treated with citric acid (SCA) were lower than those of control and the same sauces added alcohol at two temperature conditions ($5^{\circ}C$ and room temperature) during fermentation. The maximum $NH_2-N$ contents of control and SCA during fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ were 501.3 and $618.4{\sim}691.6\;mg/100g$, respectively, and the pH of those showed $5.61{\sim}6.24$ and $2.43{\sim}3.21$. The total creatine contents of control and SCA, respectively, were $36.8{\sim}27.6\;mg/100g$ ranges. As the time of treatment with citric acid was longer, the degradation of ATP, ADP and AMP in the SCA was faster. In the control, the Ala content was $19.6{\sim}23.02%$ and was highest level among all free amino acids. As fermenting term was longer, among the free amino acids, Ala and Gly were large amounts in control and SCA, respectively, and Gly was slowly increased in SCA during fermentation. As the results of organoleptic test, the tastes of SCA showed good score than control.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the preparation of the fermented milks with rice bran and to prove that the bacteria used are necessary for providing amino acids in this process. The rice bran on fermented milk with Streptococcus thermophilus (ST-body1) and Lactobacillus casei (LC-10). The fermentation limit was set until acidimetry score reaches 1. There are reports of titratable acidity, pH, viable cell count and amounts of organic acids affecting amino acid production about physical and chemical analysis measured using HPLC. Finally, sensory test was surveyed. In this study, the rate of acidification was higher in the fermented milk with rice bran than in the common fermented milk. In case of the number of cells was $1.0{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ in group. The lactic acid and citric acid content in yogurts prepared with rice bran using Streptococcus thermophilus (ST-body1) and Lactobacillus casei (LC-10) was higher than that in the control yogurt. Amino acids derived by rice bran were effected in fermentation for each bacteria's necessary amino acid production, and it made bacteria growth larger. From the physical test of the fermented milk with rice bran, flavor, texture, sweetness, overall taste of the fermented milk of Streptococcus thermophilus (ST-body1) were found to be much better than those of the other groups. The results obtained for the fermented milk prepared with rice bran using Streptococcus thermophilus (ST-body1) are significant.

This study was conducted to develop a processing method for dry-curing beef ham with Korean traditional sauces and to investigate the quality properties of the dry-cured beef hams. Semitendinosus muscle from Hanwoo was spread with sundried salt (C), sun-dried salt mixed with red pepper paste (T1), and sun-dried salt mixed with soybean paste (T2), and inserted into washed Hanwoo large intestine. It was then dried and fermented for 75 d. Moisture contents of the hams were 46-48%, without any significant differences. T1 showed the lowest pH among the three dry-cured hams, while water holding capacity (WHC) of T2 was found the lowest (p<0.05). In mechanical color determination, C showed higher CIE $a^*$ and CIE $b^*$ than T1 and T2 (p<0.05), however CIE $L^*$ did not show any significant difference. In texture, T1 demonstrated significantly lower springiness than C (p<0.05). The sensory properties of all dry-cured hams did not show any significant difference, but T1 indicated a higher taste, saltiness and overall acceptability than others, whereas C gathered the highest score in color and flavor. In conclusion, the dry-curing by combination of sun-dried salt mixed with red pepper sauce (T1) showed higher quality properties of the Hanwoo dry-cured ham.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mulberry powder on the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of yogurt. The samples were fermented with different amounts (0, 0.5, 1, and 3% to the yogurt quantity) of mulberry powder for 24 hr. The total phenol content, anthocyanin content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of yogurt significantly increased with higher mulberry powder content. The pH decreased with higher mulberry powder content until 16 hr, whereas the treated groups showed higher pH levels than the control group after 20 hr. Acidities of the treated groups were higher than that of the control group upon addition of mulberry powder. Citric acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid contents of the treatment group were higher than that of the control until 16 hr, whereas the free organic acid content of the control group increased after 20 hr. The amount of lactic acid bacteria increased with higher mulberry powder content until 12 hr, whereas that of the treated group tended to decrease compared to the control group after 16 hr. Color values of mulberry yogurt were lower in terms of brightness and yellowness, whereas redness value was higher compared to the control. Mulberry yogurt groups showed higher sensory attributes than the control, except for 3% added yogurt. Consumer acceptability score of yogurt with 1% mulberry powder was ranked higher than those of other yogurts in terms of overall preference, sourness, color, flavor, and sweetness. We suggest that mulberry powder can be used to improve the quality characteristics, functionality, fermentation, and sensory evaluation of yogurt.

In the present study, we investigated the quality, sensory characteristics and commercialization potential of a rice collet snack made with the addition of dried shrimp. “Mild” and “spicy” snack products were produced with an edible oil coating and mixed seasoning powder coating, respectively. The approximate composition of the mild and spicy snacks, respectively, were 2.44% and 2.24% for moisture, 8.52% and 8.64% for crude protein, 18.36% and 26.54% for crude lipids, 1.28% and 1.38% for ash, 1.1% and 1.2% for salt, and 0.61 and 0.62 for pH. The L (lightness), a (redness), b (yellowness), and ⊿E (color difference) values were higher for the mild snack than the spicy snack. The mild and spicy snack had values of 7,776.4 and 7,655.8 mg/100 g for total amino acids, and 221.6 and 253.5 mg/100 g for total free amino acids, respectively. The TBA (thiobarbituric acid) value did not differ significantly between the two types of snack. The hardness value of the spicy snack was higher than that of the mild snack, but there were no significant differences in flavor between the two products. The sensory evaluation score of the spicy snack was slightly higher than that of the mild snack. Organoleptic inspection indicated that both snacks had a favorable, unique taste.

Changes in quality characteristics of gochujang prepared with different ingredients (white rice, barley, sorghum and millet, bamboo salt) and meju starters were studied. The gochujang samples were fermented for 6 weeks at $40^{\circ}C$ and analyzed for changes in their physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics. Eight different gochujang samples were prepared: WR-SS-AB, WR-SS-ABL, WR-BS-AB, WR-BS-ABL, MG-SS-AB, MG-SS-ABL, MG-BS-AB, MG-BS-ABL (WR: white rice, MG: mixed grains, SS: solar salt, BS: bamboo salt, AB: Aspergillus oryzae/Bacillus subtilis starter meju, ABL: Aspergillus oryzae/Bacillus subtilis/Lactobacillus plantarum starter meju). There were significant differences between experimental groups in terms of moisture content, pH, acidity, and color value. All gochujang samples showed increased moisture contents and pH as well as increased acidity and amino-type nitrogen during fermentation. MG-BS-ABL showed the highest contents of amino-type nitrogen and free amino acids after 6 weeks of fermentation compared with other experiment groups. In addition, MG-BS-ABL showed the highest sensory analysis score, including appearance, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability after the fermentation of samples. Based on the results, MG-BS-ABL exhibited similar quality characteristics as general gochujang but showed the highest sensory scores and contents of amino-type nitrogen and free amino acids. These results might be due to the high protein contents of mixed grains and high mineral contents of bamboo salt and fermented products from mixed probiotic starters.

This study was conducted to prepare canned salmon frame and to characterize its food components. In the preparation of high-quality canned foods, the boiling water generated in the pre-heating process should be removed, and then the pre-treated canned salmon frame should be sterilized for an $F_0$ value of 12 min. The proximate composition of the canned salmon frame prepared under optimal conditions (CSFP) was 58.4% moisture, 15.7% protein, 21.4% lipid, and 3.5% ash. Based on the results of volatile basic nitrogen and microbiological tests, the CSFP was acceptable. The sensory score for the color of CSFP was 4.1 points, which was higher than that of commercial canned salmon frame (CCSF). However, there were no significant differences in the sensory scores for flavor and taste between CSFP and CCSF. The total amino acid content of CSFP was 14.58 g/100 g, which was 4.9% lower than that of CCSF. The major amino acids in CSFP were aspartic acid (11.0%), glutamic acid (14.8%), and lysine (10.6%), which accounted for 36.4% of the total amino acid content. The CSFP was high in calcium and phosphorus, while it was low in magnesium and zinc. The major fatty acids in CSFP were 16:0 (15.2%), 18:1n-9 (17.0%), 18:2n-6 (16.7%), 20:5n-3 (9.3%), and 22:6n-3 (8.8%). Based on the results, CSFP is a high-quality canned food in terms of hygiene and nutrition.
