A study was undertaken to examine the effect of adding freeze dried maquiberry powder on the quality of pound cakes. Freeze dried maquiberry was added to the flour at a ratio of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2.5%. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the total phenolic compounds content, and flavonoid content in freeze dried maquiberry powder of pounds cakes. Antioxidative activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of freeze dried maquiberry powder of pound cakes (r=0.9126, p<0.001, r=0.8366, p<0.001, respectively). The quality characteristics of freeze dried maquiberry powder of poundcakes were estimated. The specific volume decreased significantly with increased substitution level of freeze dried maquiberry powder (p<0.01). The lightness significantly decreased with increased freeze-dried maquiberry powder of pound cake crust and crumb (p<0.01, p<0.01). The hardness and adhesiveness increased, while gumminess tended to reduce with increased maquiberry powder. The consumer acceptability score of 0.5~2.5% freeze dried maquiberry powder of pound cakes ranked significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups in overall preference. These results showed that freeze dried maquiberry powder is a good ingredient to increase consumer acceptability and health.

The processing characteristics of freeze-dried pork powder as raw meat for comminuted meat products were compared with those of freeze-thawed pork. The tertiary structural properties, oxidation, and solubility of proteins in the freeze-dried pork powder were investigated. In addition, the properties of the emulsion gels manufactured with freeze-dried pork powder (GFD) and freeze-thawed pork (GFT) at 1.5% and 2.0% NaCl were evaluated. The surface hydrophobicity and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence intensity of myofibrillar proteins between the freeze-dried pork powder and freeze-thawed pork were similar. However, freeze-dried pork powder had higher carbonyl compounds and lower solubility of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins than freeze-thawed pork (p<0.05). GFD had higher cooking loss than GFT in 2.0% NaCl, and lower hardness and a^* value of GFD were observed regardless of NaCl level (p<0.05). Moreover, GFD had higher malondialdehyde content than GFT at the two NaCl concentrations (p<0.05). Therefore, our study demonstrated that freeze-dried pork powder has lower functional properties than freeze-thawed pork as raw meat for comminuted meat products.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of functional Dasik prepared with a mixture of freeze-dried mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) powder and dried pollack powder along with assessment of the general and fatty acid compositions of mealworms. General compositions, except for moisture content of freeze-dried mealworm powder, were higher than those of raw mealworms. The ratios of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids of freeze-dried mealworm powder and raw mealworms were 1:3.31 and 1:3.19, respectively. Amounts of oleic acid, which was the most abundant among unsaturated fatty acids, of freeze-dried mealworm powder and raw mealworms were 41.12 and 37.84%, respectively. For color values, greater content of freeze-dried mealworm powder in functional Dasik resulted in lower L and b scores, whereas a value increased. In the case of mechanical properties, greater content of freeze-dried mealworm powder resulted in significant reduction of hardness, chewiness, and gumminess. In the case of sensory evaluation, color, taste, and overall quality of DPMD50, which was prepared with a 1:1 ratio of freeze-dried mealworm powder and dried pollack, were the highest. It was concluded that DPMD50 is a nutritious combination of edible insects and fish for protein fortification for growth and the elderly.

To develop a new instant pumpkin gruel food, this study investigated the dried powder and gruel quality characteristics depend on drying method. The pumpkin powder was dried by infrared and freeze drying, and then milled to 80 mesh, after which the manufactured gruel was mixed with glutinous rice by heating. The gruels prepared by dried pumpkin powder were compared with steamed and freeze dried powder as a control, the crude protein and total sugar contents were high in the infrared drying powder, but freeze drying kept more carotenoid content. Soluble solid of gruel was higher in the freeze dried powder, and steam treated powder showed increased L and b values. Sensory test was carried out to select proper drying methods with 5-point scale. The gruel with freeze dried powder gained the highest score in overall quality. These results suggest that freeze drying could be used for manufacturing high quality instant pumpkin gruel.

This research has been conducted to develop the best recipe for brown sauce containing freeze-dried Salicornia powder. For this purpose, we made brown sauces with different contents of freeze-dried Salicornia powder and performed physico-chemical characteristic and sensory test. The highest salinity of freeze-dried Salicornia powder was 0.15% when 1% freeze-dried Salicornia powder was added to distilled water, SP1. The highest brightness of brown sauce was achieved with 1.2% freeze-dried Salicornia powder and was 45.29 with BSP12. More powder led to significant increases of the samples(p<0.001) in salinity and brightness. DPPH radical scavenging increased with greater freeze-dried Salicornia powder. Taste was highest at 6.36 with 0.6% powder and there was no significant difference compared to BSP6 and BSP9. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the brown sauce with Salicornia has antioxidative characteristics and the best salinity is achieved with 0.6% freeze-dried Salicornia powder. Salicornia had enough salinity to substitute salt to a certain degree and improved the quality of brown sauce in terms of the sensory test.

The effects of drying methods on the physicochemical properties of chaga (Inonotus obliquus) mushroom powder were investigated. Scanning electron micrograph revealed that freeze drying produced smaller particle- sized samples which in turn resulted in higher porosity than did vacuum and hot-air drying. Samples prepared by freeze drying showed a significantly higher L*-value as compared with those prepared by hot-air drying and vacuum drying (p<0.05). The lightness (L*-value) significantly decreased with increasing relative humidity and storage temperature regardless of drying method (p<0.05). The yellowness (b*-value) increased significantly with increasing relative humidity (p<0.05). Browning index was significantly lower in samples prepared by freeze drying (p<0.05) but not significantly different between samples dried by hot-air and vacuum drying. Freeze dried sample exhibited a significantly higher degree of rehydration than other samples (p<0.05) probably due to the small particle size. Water solubility of the freeze dried sample was higher than those of the other methods while swelling ratio of the same sample appeared to be lower than those of others. Freeze dried chaga mushroom powder contained significantly lower amount of total phenolics and total sugar as compared to other samples (p<0.05).

Freeze-dried Kimchi powder has to be first produced to make Kimchi noodle. Two days, ten days, fifteen days and twenty-five days fermented Kimchi were analyzed respectively to obtain adequate material for freeze-dried Kimchi. Fourteen days' fermented Kimchi with pH 4.0∼4.7 and 0.5∼0.8% acidity was chosen for material for freeze-dried Kimchi, Fourteen days fermented Kimchi was first freeze-dried and powdered. Sensory evaluation was done to decide that 4% addition of the powdered material was optimal. The mixture of Kimchi noodle was analyzed into two perspectives; noodle and Kimchi. The analyzed factors of the mixture was a texture of noodle, color level, Kimchi flavor and its spiciness. The texture of noodle are nutty taste, softness, viscidity and oil flavor. Heavy oil flavor and nutty tasty decreased against the increase of Kimchi powder. Six percent addition of material showed a definite change to the mixture. More than six percent addition destroyed the texture of noodle into near crumbles. Four percent addition of material showed almost same as ordinary noodle texture. Therefore four percent addition of freeze-dried Kimchi was chosen optimal through sensory evaluation.
