The physiological activities of 70% ethanol extracts of grape seed (GS) prepared by freeze-drying (GSFD), infrared drying (GSIR), hot-air drying (GSHD), or sun-drying (GSSD) were investigated. The moisture contents of GSFD, GSIR, GSHD and GSSD powders were 4.53, 6.71, 6.91 and 5.55% respectively. Hunter's color value analysis revealed that the $L^*$ value of GSIR was lower, and the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of GSIR were higher, than those of GSFD, GSHD, and GSSD. The total polyphenol and proanthocyanidin contents of GSFD were significantly higher than those of the other extracts. The flavonoid related substance contents were in the order of GSFD (7.68 g/100g) = GSSD (7.59 g/100g) = GSHD (7.33 g/100g) > GSIR (6.45 g/100g). The electron donating abilities of $500{\mu}g/mL$ solutions of GSFD, GSIR, GSHD and GSSD were 88.71, 52.62, 65.20, and 65.22%, respectively, while their reducing powers ($OD_{700}$) were 1.633, 1.097, 1.217 and 1.054 absorbance units, respectively. Additionally, the same trend was observed for the ABTS radical-scavenging abilities of the extracts as that observed for their electron-donating abilities and reducing powers. These results suggest that GSFD is the best method for preparing GS extracts with enhanced antioxidant activities, and that GS extracts may be used as a natural antioxidant material for use in health foods.

Recipes for cookies and muffins made with soybean paste and sun-dried salt were established and characteristics of the foods were investigated. On Hunter's color scale, 'L' values decreased and brightness was lowered as additive levels increased, whereas the 'a' value(redness) increased and the 'b' value(yellowness) decreased. The hardness of a control muffin was 1843 g and this increased as additive levels rose. Cookies showed the same tendency. Elasticity was not proportional to paste content whereas crispness increased as additive levels increased. Sensory evaluations of cookies and muffins with different soybean paste contents(0-8%, w/v) showed that additive at 1% (w/v) was best and additive at 8%(w/v) was unacceptable. All products scored poorly 48 h after preparation; freshness needs to be investigated further.

The quality characteristics of yenipsambab prepared using various amounts of red, green, and black pigmented rice (0, 10, 20, and 30% added) were investigated. The pH of the cooked rice of yenipsambab decreased significantly as the amounts of pigmented rice increased. The Hunter's color L value decreased, but the b value increased with increasing amounts of pigmented rice. Moreover, the addition of 10-30% pigmented rice resulted in increased hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and brittleness compared to the control. Finally, the results of the sensory evaluation and acceptance test showed that the cooked rice containing 10-20% pigmented rice had the highest scores. This study will help in the development of new rice products that are good for the health.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of irradiation temperature on the physicochemical and sensory properties of Tarakjuk, milk porridge. Tarakjuk was gamma-irradiated at different temperatures of $25^{\circ}C$ (in room), $4^{\circ}C$ (in ice), and $-20^{\circ}C$ (in dry ice) at a dose of 10 kGy, and then autoclaved at $120^{\circ}C$ for 15 min for comparison. pH and Hunter's color value of Tarakjuk were not changed by irradiation regardless of the temperature. However, the TBA (2-thiobarbituric acid) value decreased as irradiation temperature was decreased. The viscosity of Tarakjuk irradiated in dry ice was significantly higher than that irradiated at room temperature and in ice (p<0.05). For the sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences in overall acceptability between non-treated Tarakjuk and that irradiated in dry ice. Flavor pattern analysis using an electronic nose with a SAW (surface acoustic wave) sensor determined that the main peaks at retention times 3.88 and 7.34 sec were related with off-flavor induced by irradiation and unique flavor of Tarakjuk, respectively. These results indicated that irradiation at freezing temperature improved quality deterioration of Tarakjuk by gamma irradiation. However, sensory quality of Tarakjuk irradiated at freezing temperature was still lower than that of non-irradiated Tarakjuk. Therefore, further research is needed to improve the quality of Tarakjuk using combined treatment such as addition of antioxidants and vacuum packaging method.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of black rice muffins prepared with various concentrations of chito-oligosaccharide(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%). The the weight of the groups with chito-oligosaccharide was higher than that of the control group, but the height, volume, and specific volume of the groups with chito-oligosaccharide were lower than those of the control group. The moisture contents increased with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The pH decreased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The L value of Hunter's color decreased, but the a and b value increased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. The muffin without the chito-oligosaccharide was the highest hardness. The textural properties revealed the cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness of groups with chito-oligosaccharide increased significantly with the addition of chito-oligosaccharide. Antioxidant activities of muffins increased as the amount of chito-oligosaccharide increased.

Effect of gamma irradiation on porridge viscosity was studied. Vegetable, beef and pine nut dry flour porridges were irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 kGy, and rheological characteristics and sensory qualities of irradiated porridge were evaluated. Hunter color lightness were decreased, while redness were increased in dry flour porridge with the increase of irradiation dose. Firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and viscosity of dry flour porridge were significantly decreased with the increase of irradiation dose (p<0.05). Vegetable, beef and pine nut dry flour porridges at dose of 10 kGy reduced the viscosity with 93%, 71% and 55%, respectively Irradiation greatly reduced the viscosity of porridges, probably by starch depolymerization. Irradiation increased the total solids and thus, can improve the calorie up to 30 ㎉. Gamma irradiation was effective in enhancing calorie value of porridge due to reduction of viscosity. As a result of sensory evaluation, overall acceptability and the quality characteristics of irradiated porridges (up to S kGy) were not significantly different from those of the control (p<0.05). In the vegetable porridge, the irradiated porridge at dose of 2.5 kGy was a significantly better overall acceptability than the non-irradiated porridge (p<0.05).
