The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Dangmyon(starch vermicelli) prepared with mulberry leaves powder. Mulberry leaves powder was added in ratios (w/w) of 0% (CON), 0.5% (MD1), 1.0% (MD2), 1.5% (MD3). and 2.0%(MD4), and then proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, RVA, SEM, texture and sensory evaluations of the Dangmyon were measured. MD1~MD4 samples showed higher contents of moisture, crude lipid, crude protein and crude ash as well as pH compared to control (p<0.001). In terms of color, lightness (L), yellowness (b), and redness (a) decreased as the mulberry leaves powder increased. The results of RVA properties analysis on all samples showed that control had the highest. With regard to the texture of Dangmyon samples, the scores of hardness, adhesiceness, gumminess, chewiness, resilience of CON was significantly higher than the samples MD1~MD4 (p<0.001), but the scores of springiness, cohesiveness was not significantly among samples. The result of observation on the cross section of Dangmyon added with mulberry leaves powder showed that number, size of cavity more increase compared to the control. In sensory evaluation, the scores of appearance, flavor, taste and overall preference for MD3 were significantly higher than the samples (CON, MD1, MD2, and MD4). From the findings, this study suggests that 1.5% addition of mulberry leaves powder was effective for preparation of Dangmyon in the aspects of the consumer acceptability.

This study investigates the kimchi from Jangsu area (JSK) and its comparison with commercial kimchi (CMK). We conducted a sensory evaluation for the pH, titratable acidity, salinity, hunter's color values and mechanical characteristics of kimchi. The pH of JSK is significantly higher than CMK throughout the fermentation (p<0.001). At 15 days, JSK reached the stage of optimal maturity for pH 4.23~4.55 and CMK showed pH 3.96~4.00 as conditions after the optimal maturity (p<0.001). From the results of acidity analyses, CMK also showed higher acidity values than JSK (p<0.001), indicating that the rate of fermentation progress was faster in CMK. Salinity of JSK was a litter higher than CMK1 and CMK2 (p<0.001) and JSK indicated significantly higher L, a, b values during fermentation (p<0.001). Moreover, the textural values were significantly higher in JSK2 and JSK3 retaining hardness of the tissues. In the sensory assessment, the color, flavor, crispness, taste, and overall preferences were higher in JSK3 at 15 days and 30 days than CMK. Therefore, it seems necessary for recipe developments of kimchi with local characteristics in order to industrialize kimchi by using alpine crops at Jangsu area.

This research was designed to compare the subjective evaluation of texture image and preference according to fiber blending ratio of men's suit fabrics. 110 subjects evaluated the texture image and preference of various fabrics. For statistical analysis, factor analysis, MDS, pearson correlation and ANOVA were used. The results were as follows: Sensory image factors of suit fabrics were 'smoothness', 'bulkiness', 'stiffness', 'elasticity', 'moistness' and 'weight sensation'. Sensibility image factors were 'classic', 'practical', 'characteristic' and 'sophisticated'. 'Bulkiness' and 'elasticity' sensory images showed high correlations with sensibility images. Fabrics with high wool blending ratio showed as 'classic' and 'sophisticated', 'bulkiness' and 'elasticity' texture images and fabrics with low wool blending ratio showed texture images of 'characteristic', 'surface character', 'stiffness', 'moistness' and 'weight sensation'. Wool fiber blending ratio affected on the purchase preference and tactile preference. Using regression analysis, it was shown that sensibility images had more of an effect on preference than sensory images. The thickness and pattern type showed positive effects and fiber blending ratio showed negative effects on the preference.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and physiological The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and physiological activities of organic and inorganic coffee based on flavonoid composition. Organic and inorganic coffee varieties were prepared with Brazil arabica bean and Columbia arabica bean, respectively. Color values (Lightness, redness, and yellowness), mineral contents, total phenol content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, individual flavonoids, and sensory characteristics were then measured in the espresso of each coffee bean. The pH, Brix, and color difference between organic coffee and inorgainc coffee did not correlate with the harvest method. Coffee varieties were more influential on physiological properties, and were markedly more influential than the mineral content. Total phenolics had a higher correlation with DPPH radical scavenging activity ($r^2$=0.832). Depending on the harvesting method, significant differences (p<0.05) were shown in aroma, color, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation.

Development of crops with high quality as well as various beneficial functions is necessary to satisfy consumers being interested in their health and to enhance a competitiveness in the international market of agricultural products. What we have achieved so far from our research on crop quality was not sufficient since we often neglected sensory feature of crop products such as eating quality but in many cases, we put more emphases on nutrient contents, physico-chemical properties, and out-appearing features of the products. Therefore developments of sensory elements and technique for evaluation with a priority given to eating quality of each of an individual crop are important and very urgent to be solved in Korea. An endeavor to develop bioactive crops is necessary and resonable but aspects of both productivity and economy with a special emphasis on the original purposes such as production of energy and nutrient for human life must be considered. The development of more concrete ideas for crop functionality is essential before any research goes further.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidative activities of cookies prepared with different amounts of purple sweet potato powder. Moisture and crude ash contents were lowest in the control group followed in order by the 10%, 20%, and 30% purple sweet potato powder addition groups. The lightness and yellowness values measured by Hunter color system decreased based on the amount of purple sweet potato powder concentration added to cookies. The total phenolic compound and anthocyanin contents were the highest in 30% purple sweet potato powder added cookies. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of 30% purple sweet potato powder added cookies showed the highest values among groups. In the sensory evaluation, the scores for taste, texture and overall preference were significantly highest in cookies with 10% and 20% purple sweet potato powder. Considering the scores of antioxidant activity and sensory evaluation, the concentration of between 10% and 20% addition of purple sweet potato powder would be ideal for development of functional cookies.
